Here's a great story -A Belfast fisherman accidentally caught a 600-pound tuna
https://bangordailynews.com/2021/09/24/news/midcoast/600-pound-bluefin-tuna-will-feed-hungry-mainers-at-belfast-soup-kitchen/Atlantic bluefin tuna is one of the most prized fish in the world, and on the open market, a 600-pound fish might sell for as much as $10,000.
But in Belfast, patrons of the Belfast Soup Kitchen will dine next week on locally caught bluefin tuna steaks for free after Maine fishermen donated an accidentally caught fish to the nonprofit organization.
That’s thanks to a turn of events that still boggles the mind of Jamie Steeves of Rockland’s J&J Lobster. The crew of his commercial fishing boat were off Belfast last Friday morning, using a seine net to fish for pogies, a fish used as bait for the lobster industry. Suddenly, though, the smaller fish disappeared and the net started dancing.
They had caught a 600-pound bluefin tuna in the net, completely by mistake.
