Underwater Giant Bluefin Tuna Video

Incredible underwater footage of giant bluefin tuna many of which are over 1000lbs!  This video was taken while fishing on Bruce Brothers Charters with Capt Troy Bruce in 110ft of water of off Prince Edward Island, Canada.  Two fish were caught and released from this pod and both were over 1100lbs!

This is an all-release recreational fishery and is an amazing example of nearly perfect management.  On this trip anglers Capt Andy LoCascio, Steve Palmo, and Mitch Wergiles caught four giants in only 10 hours of fishing over the course of the first two days of the trip.  The sizes were 850, 950, and two fish over 1100lbs!

Also in this video, Gannets (white birds) are diving down and actually stealing some of the herring chum from the giants.  These birds are fearless and very capable underwater hunters.
