“This yellowfin tuna caught by John Petruescu in Mexican waters is expected to become the largest yellowfin tuna ever caught on rod and reel…459 pounds. Petruescu’s tuna cannot qualify as a world record because a deckhand briefly grabbed the rod at the bow to help manage the tuna around the anchor. ‘Had we known how big it was obviously we would have let him try to do that himself.'”
