World-Record Yellowfin Possibly Caught in Puerto Vallarta

 Ron Tegland reeled in an estimated 432-pounder on his yacht Tenacious.

Word is coming from Puerto Vallarta that an angler may have reeled in the largest yellowfin tuna ever recorded.

On Wednesday, Brandon Hayward of Western Outdoor News received a photo of the monster tuna from Eric Huff, owner of Eric’s Tackle Shopin Ventura. The giant tuna was taken Tuesday by angler Ron Tegland on his yacht Tenacious.

Using a mathematical formula that squares the length times the girth and then divides that figure by 800 to arrive at an estimated weight, the fish taped out at 432.4 pounds. If the weight is confirmed, it would officially be the largest yellowfin tuna ever caught, and only the second to exceed 400 pounds.

Puerto Vallarta is well-known for an abundance of giant yellowfin tuna and has not disappointed big game anglers this year.

The Tenacious is said to be traveling to San Jose del Cabo in Baja so the fish can be weighed on a certified scale. We will let you know as soon as we hear an update.
