When Sarah Landry first heard a fishing line fly off its reel, she never imagined a 385-kilogram tuna was on the other end.

The co-owner of fish market Poissonnerie Gagnon in Rimouski, Que., had travelled to the Baie-des-Chaleurs, wedged between the Gaspé Peninsula and New Brunswick, with two fishermen hoping of catching a bluefin tuna typically weighing around 225 kilograms.
 

About 10 minutes after dropping their lines, they felt movement.

"We concentrated. There were five of us on the boat, it was quite physical work," said Landry.

"We were exhausted from struggling one hour and 20 minutes of fighting to get the beast."

She says the team got lucky.
