The big fish are here in the waters of New Jersey. 

Capt. Kris Black came back to the dock Monday with a near 500-pound giant bluefin tuna on the deck of his boat, Fish Stix. The fish measured 90 inches.

Black said he stayed inshore of the canyons and was trolling ballyhoo when the brute struck. The fish took a good run on them and hunkered down.
