According to the National Fisheries Institute, a whopping 88% of American households enjoy canned tuna, making it one of the most popular seafood choices in the country. But here’s the catch: while most of us picture tuna as the small fillets or chunks that come in a can, these incredible fish can actually grow to massive sizes, rivaling a full-grown cow in weight! That’s right, tuna aren’t just a kitchen staple; they’re also one of the ocean’s most powerful giants.

Curious about just how enormous they can get? Stick around and watch this video to discover the jaw-dropping story of the largest tuna ever caught, and all the fascinating, “fishy” details that come with it.
