Alone on her boat, the “FV No Limits”, this woman managed to catch a colossal 1,000-pound Bluefin tuna.
This catch resonated powerfully in an industry where such accomplishments are often attributed to male fishermen.
Ken Fraser caught the largest bluefin tuna ever recorded which measured nearly 1500 pounds.
Since purchasing her boat, Michelle has proven that gender is no barrier to achieving greatness in the fishing world.
Her desire to see more women involved is both a personal goal and a rallying cry for gender equality in the industry.
Bluefin Tuna often measures up to 6.5 feet and weighs around 550 pounds.

As Michelle catches this 1000-pound tuna, she encourages women everywhere to pursue their passions, break barriers, and make history,
