Big money for big tuna

Anglers may be interested in the following item I found in Facebook today:

A Japanese sushi company left the first auction of the New Year in Tokyo with a fish the size of a motorcycle, paying $1.3 million for the huge catch.

The buyer, Onodera Group, bought the 608-pound tuna Sunday at Toyosu Fish Market in Tokyo. The company shared the news across its social media profiles and in a news release.

The buyer said online that the company has bought the first tuna at the auction for the past five years.

The buyer, Onodera Group, is part of Onodera Food Services, which runs Ginza Onodera and has 20 stores in three countries. Some of the company’s stores are located in Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, and even Honolulu in Hawaii and Houston, Texas.

The buyer said online that the company has bought the first tuna at the auction for the past five years.
