Texas Crew Boats 884-Pound Bluefin Tuna – A Record in the Making

Texas Crew Lands Massive 884-Pound Bluefin Tuna – Possibly a New State Record

A crew out of Galveston, Texas just made headlines with an absolute monster of a catch—a bluefin tuna tipping the scales at a jaw-dropping 884 pounds. This beast was hauled in from the deep waters of the Gulf of Mexico and is now being considered for the new Texas state record.

The fish measured an unbelievable 115 inches long with a girth of 80 inches, making it not just big—but historic. Reports say the tuna was brought in after a long, hard fight that tested both the crew’s gear and grit. These Gulf giants don’t show up every day, and when they do, they don’t come quietly.

Bluefin tuna are known for their raw power and speed, and this catch is a reminder of just how wild the Gulf can get. Between the adrenaline, teamwork, and sheer size of this fish, it’s one of those moments that’ll be talked about for years to come in Texas fishing circles.

Whether it sets the official record or not, one thing’s for sure: this was the fish of a lifetime
