A group of Japanese fishermen caught a massive 600-pound can of tuna, which was later auctioned off for $1.3 million.
TOKYO—Working for nearly eight hours to bring the record-setting catch aboard, a group of Japan ese fishermen reportedly reeled in a 600-pound can of tuna Tuesday that was later auctioned off at a local fish market. 'From the moment I felt the lip of the can tugging on our line, I knew it was going to be the catch of a lifetime,' said fisherman Hideo Kamada, posing with his crew in front of the shiny 10-foot tin of solid-white albacore and beaming with pride.
'These chunks of fish packed in vegetable oil put up quite a fight. I’ve personally never hauled in anything larger than a 24-pack of StarKist, so once I got a glimpse of that shiny aluminum container at the surface of the water, I knew it was something special. It took all of our strength to reel it in without damaging the paper label, but we finally were able to lift it up onto the deck and into a shopping cart.' At press time, the owner of the Michelin-starred cafeteria that purchased the tuna for $1.3 million at auction had ceremoniously peeled open the pull-tab lid with a sashimi knife to great applause
