I recently fished 4 days in Prince edward island canada for giant bluefin tuna. I had a great trip releasing 5 giants. The smallest fish was 114 inches and was estimated at 700 lbs. The biggest was estimated at 1000 lbs. I fought the big one stand up on a 80w 2 speed reel for 1 hour and 20 min. The drag at the end of the fight was almost 70 lbs. I was able to swim with the fish while we feed them on the last day and it was absolutely insane. I would highly recommend this trip for anybody who is a member of anglers anonymous like myself. I will try and upload a couple of photos and maybe a video if I can figure out how to edit my gopro footage.
Regards,
Chris

Sounds incredible Chris.
I know I'd sure like to see 'em in their element... Please post the vid, or a link, anything.
