The angler boated the 443-pound yellowfin halfway through a 10-day, long-range charter fishing trip out of San Diego. If certified by the IGFA, it would crush the current all-tackle record for yellowfin tuna. That fish weighed 427 pounds and was caught off Cabo San Lucas, Mexico in 2012 by angler Guy Yocom. Some questions have been raised about Gill’s catch because of the duration of the long-range trip and the tackle used. Captain Jeremiah Sapp, who was a crew member aboard the Excel when Gill caught his tuna, reports that the angler only used a shoulder harness to battle the yellowfin and not the boat's rail for leverage. That’s an important detail in order for the catch to be IGFA eligible. Using a boat rail for support would disqualify the catch for IGFA inclusion. A shoulder harness is IGFA approved.
