Surprise Bigeye Tuna! Catch Clean and Cook

I had Astrid and her dad out for a swordfish charter aboard the Broad Minded in Octobrer. We released 3 swordfish and hooked up to what we thought was another swordfish. After a 40 minute fight we had a bigeye tuna by the boat! They are a very unusual catch off the Florida Keys but a welcomed surprise! The fish ate the bait in 1650' of water off Islamorada!

I don't think he was expecting to catch a tuna. He thought it was a swordfish, but it was a tuna... Tuna.
