Now that was a heck of a tuna! Note that the riser in the background is nearly four feet across.

This world record tuna was swimming by a deepwater drilling rig in the Gulf of Mexico and it could be 18 feet in length.

Next time you're on the water bring along a camera for some underwater filming. Who knows, you just might get some footage of a huge fish, similar to this tuna.
