A feat catching it for sure, but just think about what they did to get it onboard. Perhaps towed it in. Some drooling Sashimi lovers on here I bet. Fish is probably worth a few T$$.
Theres a write up in the latest BlueWater Mag. Kiwi angler Eryn Jacobsen caught out from Nova Scotia. 600 m first run had it boated in about 90 minutes. Not a bad effort eh!
If you want to see something impressive google PEI and check out there annual big blue fin run which they call giants{ only happens for a few months}. Although not line class style, fish are caught into the 1000 +lb range and on stand up tackle with masssive drag pressures {especially guys like Dennis Braid and a few others } All catch and release and definatly on my to do list one day !!!!!

I am, as I've said, merely competent. But in an age of incompetence, that makes me extraordinary.

Impressive
Absolutely awesome fish. To break a 62 year world record obviously takes some work.

Unchilled for several hours
Unchilled for several hours and not fully bled, i'm not sure if it would be quite sashimi grade, but certainly a lot of tasty bluefin steaks!
