Give me your opinion on this.

Over kill or not. Brother caught this fishing and had a replica made. Didn't realize that a fish which was over 6ft wasn't goint to really fit on any of his walls. LOL

over kill to have a replica made.. no probably not.

over kill to hang it where it looks like it is now... I would say Yes.

As long as nobody runs into it, I'd say it's all good!

[croixflats]

Id be hitting my head on that all the time even knowing it was there.

Mount it on the ceiling.

[Ed Carlson]

You might consider hanging it Vertical, or sticking it on the ceiling...if there is no larger walls around.

Is that a bluefin or a yellowfin? Where and when did your brother get the fish? The ONLY thing I miss about living on the east coast is catching fish like that on a more regular basis. We sure do not have anything that pulls as hard as a tuna does here in the midwest.

How about cutting it in half so he can wrap it around the corner?

If I can remember correctly I think it was a bluefin. He went out to boston with my cousin, I guess this is what they call a jumbo and the captin that took them fishing said he only catches about 1-3 of these a year.

Good for a Bar, not so good for a house.

Bluefins get up to about 13 feet and 1500 pounds. They are a blast to catch. It is the only fish I have ever hooked into and could not finish the fight alone. The largest I ever hooked and got to the boat was about 400 pounds and the season was closed so we had to let it go.

On that boat, it was a stand up fight with a rope tied around your waist. Another guy would hold the rope while you were hooked up. I think the captain was more worried about losing his Penn International rod and reel than he was about losing a customer since the rod and reel was worth $1000+.

He must be single.

I'd take it to japan and sell it. A 513 pound bluefin sold for $177,000 U.S. back in January. It's no wonder they are on the fast road to extinction with prices like that.

Paint the end bright orange to protect the late nighters.

[Chnginthhofl]

That'd be a good looking mail box.

[jkjkoda]

Should have had it shoulder mounted. Our add on to house!!

[Surface Tension]

I like it and what better reason to build on the house for a man room.

Tuna are very cool fish, but I wouldn't mount any fish unless I had space to hang it:) I've wanted a marlin mount for years (and luckily have had lots of "candidates!) but just don't have the wll for it. Huge mounts do look out of place in many homes...I think I'll mount the next nice wahoo I

get...more like a big muskie size-wise but still a cool looking fish.

[fishorgolf]

cut it in half and put one half on one side of the wall and the other half on the other side
