After leaving the Beach we circled around by the pier at Green Harbor - a true working pier. Jamie and Joe explored up and down the docks and checked out the boats and then a fisherman mentioned a boat was coming in with an 800 pound tuna.
Despite Tim's impatience, we decided to stick around to see how big an 800lb tunareally was. As we waited, word must have been spreading because more and more people started arriving to see the fish that had not yet arrived.
After 45 minutes the boat tied up to the dock, with one very large fish laying on it's deck. With about 50 spectators leaning over railing for a better look, the 5ft long fish was winched up (officially weighed in at only 650lb) and into the waiting refrigerated fish market truck.

One year at the Special Olympic Fishing tournament, one of the boats with an athlete on it caught a 600lb tuna! The atlete didn't catch it but the boat's captain made quite a bit of money for that fish!
