Watch: NH tuna captain reels in giant fish, and posts it on TikTok
“It was when I was lifting it out of the water and my friend was like, ‘Holy crap!’”
A New Hampshire woman caught an 800-pound tuna and posted the video to TikTok for all to enjoy.
Michelle Cicale, one of the only female tuna captains in the area, has amassed 215,500 views on her most viral video.
Cicale, whose boat is named “No Limits,” said she is trying to keep up with her male competitors and told Channel 7 she knew this catch was another opportunity to do just that.
“When the rod bends … you don’t know the size of it until you get it in view,” she told Channel 7. “It was when I was lifting it out of the water and my friend was like, ‘Holy crap!’”
