Giant Bluefin

Bluefin tuna are the largest finfish in the ocean and the fishermen who harpoon them one at a time lead a traditional athletic even heroic life according to Whynott. The author spent two seasons in the company of a 47 year-old Cape Cod harpooner and tells the story of his passionate hunt for his noble and elusive prey as well as the struggle between the fishermen and conservationists.
