VIDEO: Two Giant Bluefin Tuna Caught in the Orange Beach Billfish Classic

During the 2014 OBBC, Reel Worthless released some monster bluefins.

John Sims, a mate on the boat Reel Worthles _out of Pensacola, Florida,_ tells Sport Fishing that they spend the summer traveling and fishing billfish tournaments. During the recent Orange Beach Billfish Classic, they had a double header on bluefin tunas in the Gulf of Mexico, while live-baiting for blue marlin.

After the first hour and half, they caught and released the first bluefin, which they estimated to be 700-pounds. Then after three and half hours, they released the second, which they estimated to be 900-pounds.
