A South Texas fisherman landed a whopper 876-pound bluefin tuna last month about 150 miles off the coast of Port Aransas, breaking a nearly 40-year state record.
Fisherman Troy Lancaster caught the 121-inch female tuna on April 13 while fishing for marlin with Capt. Justin Drummond aboard a private boat called Quantified, officials with the Port Aransas Fisherman’s Wharf told KSAT.
