Giant Bluefin Tuna Fishing

January is the month for Bluefin tuna fishing off the North Carolina coast. These giant fish can weigh up to 600 lbs. and measure 8 ft. and they are the mainstay of the sushi trade in the far east.
A single average Bluefin can bring as much as $2,500.00 on the wholesale market. No wonder fishermen flock to the NC coast in January. A Bluefin outing in the Atlantic in January can be quite a trip, literally.
