My online persona, is Bluefin.
And my company's name is also in part, Bluefin...
All named for a memorable childhood, growing up near a very big fishing port on the East Coast, of US, in New England. Provincetown, while a big tourist town today, is, and was a huge part of the New England fishing community. As a kid, I can remember seeing the old fishermen, and they unloaded their catch. And every once in a while, they would hoist on the town dock a Bluefin tuna, for all to see, and for the processors to purchase. If the Tuna was over a thousand pounds, it was called a Grander for a Grand meaning a "thousand." Back then, early 1970's, it might happen once a week? Certainly the 600, 700, even 800 pound Bluefin was common enough
These days, MAYBE once a season you might see or hear about a GRANDER
Since 1970, Western Bluefin Tuna stocks have dropped over 90%!!! They simply have been VASTLY overfished. And, we now know, one of their hatcheries, is the Gulf of Mexico. Sadly, oil spills, and shipping has greatly hurt that hatchery.
It is with Deep Respect, and honor, I call myself, Bluefin
