What Do You Do with a Whole Cow?

I saw this article about Hurricane Bank YFT.

Hurricane Bank yields monstrous tuna for intrepid anglers | Outposts | Los Angeles Times



Supposedly, these were caught by anglers with pole and line. What does one do with such larger amount of fish? Even if you have space in the freezer, how do you preserve the quality and get it home?

First you call everyone you know to have a feast. Then you sharpen your 48" filet knife. Then you fire up the smoker and vacuum sealer. Then you do the math on how much mercury you can have everyday.

I eat as much as I can fresh, then smoke the rest. Smoked tuna salad is unbelievable, and mix some flaked up tuna with egg and bread crumbs, roll into balls or pat into cakes. Gastro Orgasim!!

most of it is traded right at the dock for canned, I always do my own with jollypenyo. Last for years in the cabinet.

If you can eat your tuna in 24 hours the trip is free.

This offer was made to me a couple of times from a friend. The tuna was around 115 pounds. No puking allowed. I tried but failed both times. It's very hard to eat more than 8 pounds of fish in one sitting.

I thought 8 lb tuna was Cow Tuna ...?????
I am now afraid that my goal to catch Cow Tuna @ 10 lb will not be valid.
I might need heavier tackle.
Any suggestions on tackle for 10 to 12lb Cow Tuna??
