MaddenHOST
in a little bit but
Jessica MeeuwigGUEST
Oh, with stock assessments.
Jessica MeeuwigGUEST
So one of the papers we published a couple of years ago now, we took all the data from the yellowfin tuna stock assessments from around the world, from the regional fisheries management authorities.
Jessica MeeuwigGUEST
And then we paired those stock assessments, the outputs from those like rate of decline and, you know, spawning stock biomass and all that.
Jessica MeeuwigGUEST
And we paired that, twinned it with the abundance and size data that we had at Yellowfin Tuna from last year.
Jessica MeeuwigGUEST
Our bruvs.
Jessica MeeuwigGUEST
And guess what? Perfect correlation.
Jessica MeeuwigGUEST
So where the stock assessments were saying that yellowfin tuna were in relatively okay shape, we saw more of them more frequently and they were larger.
Jessica MeeuwigGUEST
And in the Indian Ocean where the stock assessments were all saying they're crap, yellowfin tuna, we could see that we hardly ever saw any and they were often small.
Dave HansenHOST
We got a lot to talk about.
Dave HansenHOST
The yellowfin tuna, Dorado, Marlin.
Dave HansenHOST
Everything's starting to happen in Southern California today.

And yeah, gang, I'll throw the QR code up here on the screen and you guys check that the reel out.

It's an amazing reel.
Dave HansenHOST
When I first started fishing yellowfin tuna in Dana Point, I was using the size 10 and it was an incredible, incredible reel.
Dave HansenHOST
The torque on it is absolutely amazing.
Matt HaeffnerHOST
And then gained some line on it took another about 200 yard run then that's when he saw it air out next to his boat and realized it was a giant sword so that was weighed in at uh what was it uh camp ellis uh pier by a maine dmr uh marine patrol officer was the way master so that should claim the new state record for uh largest swordfish ever caught in maine which is uh is pretty cool big week for billfish um or big i guess you could say big month for billfish between the blue marlin and the you know august was it was pretty crazy in that sense um But, yeah, a lot of records being broken or going to be broken.
Matt HaeffnerHOST
We also heard of a Massachusetts state record, Allison Yellowfin.

It beat the state record in Massachusetts by five ounces.
Matt HaeffnerHOST
