Tagged Bluefin Recaptured 16 Years Later

This kind of stuff is so incredible.  The nightly news has got nothing on stories like this. 

A charter boat captain out of Rhode Island, Al Anderson, tagged a Bluefin tuna in 1997, when it weighed only 14 pounds - a mere child.  It was recaptured last year, sixteen years later, weighing more than 1,200 pounds!
