This Tuna Was Bigger Than My Car!

Picture this: 30 hours of no bites, then BAM—Houston angler David Esslinger hooks an 884-pound bluefin tuna off Galveston! It took 5 hours, 1,400 yards of line, and a ton of muscle to reel in this beast (that’s 14 football fields away!). The crew thought it was 650 lbs, but it smashed the Texas record by 8 pounds. Bonus: this fish had been tagged twice before, once in Nova Scotia! Absolute legend status unlocked. #FishingLegend #BluefinTuna #TexasRecord #EpicCatch #SportFishing #Finance
