Fishing season is fast approaching. Can the Captain of The Old Crow top this?

A 738-pound Pacific bluefin tuna described by angler Nathan Adams as a "fish of a lifetime" may also be the largest Pacific bluefin ever landed on rod and reel.

The catch was made aboard an 18-foot boat during a recent competition off Houhora in New Zealand. If it's approved by the International Game Fish Assn., it will set an all-tackle world record, replacing a 716-pound 8-ounce Pacific bluefin landed off Westport, New Zealand, in 2007.

Pea, what kind of Geography is this? A Pacific Bluefin off the coast of New Zealand. Sr. Walter Clair would be upset.

After much investigation it has been determined the "Old Crow" is a myth!

To Gay Traveler...New Zealand is SE of Australia, separated by the Tasman Sea. To the East of New Zealand for as far as the eye can see is the Pacific Ocean where Big Fish swim!
