New Zealand Fisherman Elects to Eat his Potentially $100,000 Bluefin Tuna

What would you do if you had a fish worth as much as $100,000?

Jeremy Walker didn't seem to have any hesitation, he's got plans to grill the fish and eat it.

The 672.4-pound pacific bluefin was caught on Monday and hauled into Port Taranaki in New Zealand.

Walker, of Te Awamutu, hooked the fish during a charter out of Westport. He called it a "once-in-a-lifetime catch." He was fishing with skipper David Donald along with five other anglers. He's splitting the meat up to share, according to TVNZ News. - Rick Bach

This Indiana angler was one ounce shy of a new state record.
