After posing for photos next to the giant tuna, Ms Wright cut it up and gave chunks to her friends. Recreational anglers are not allowed to sell their catch so she missed out an a potential $4,000 she could have made by selling it. 'We knew the tuna were running so we took the day off work - they come down in certain currents and then they're gone in one, two, three days,' Ms Wright told the Daily Telegraph.
