It s always bigger in Texas.
A Texas fisherman has broken state records with his impressive bluefin tuna catch, weighing in at a whopping 876 pounds and 121 inches long.
Troy Lancaster, a 50-year-old angler from Port Aransas, Texas, snagged the massive fish back in mid-April, according to a report from The Houston Chronicle. After spending nine hours trying to net the fish and several more weeks waiting on official state analysis, The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department has confirmed that it was the largest tuna fish caught in the state. When the fish got on the deck of the boat, it was like killing a big trophy deer, Lancaster told the outlet. There was absolutely no ground shrinkage.

COPRUS CHRISTI, Texas â Setting out 150 miles offshore, captain Justin Drummond and his crew got a bite from a bluefin tuna last week, one he says they wouldn t let get away.
âWe drive the boat around him trying to catch him very quickly, says boat captain, Justin Drummond. Then he sounded on us then it became that brutal epic battle that ended up taking 9 hours.
That battle began at around 9 in the morning. Captain Drummond says he missed the chance to catch something like this last year when they had already met the quota fish caught in the Gulf.
