Huge bluefin tunas, in mass and numbers, arrive around April/May and stay until the end of the summer. They are here to reproduce, in my home waters of Mallorca. Bluefins exceeding the 1000lbs marks can be caught around this time. The normal size ranges between 200kg and 400kg. But this year, 2022, has been a little bit different. We caught monsters but not many. The huge schools have not been found. The reproduction size must have been further away from the usual spots. Temperature, salinity, currents, food supply and probably many more reasons factor in this change of behaviors and habits. On this particular trip, we lost a monster after a spectacular run and hooked a nice 140kg fish. Of course, like all bluefins, we carefully tagged and released the beauty.
