Donna Pascoe, 56, may have caught the world’s largest Pacific bluefin tuna, which would make the sizeable fish the largest of its kind to be caught on a rod and reel.
56歲女漁夫唐娜-帕斯科釣到了或許是世界上最大的太平洋藍鰭金槍魚。

Pascoe was onboard her boat “Gladiator” on Feb. 19 when she hooked the 411.6-kg pacific bluefin tuna. She sent the fish’s measurements to the InternationAl Game Fish Association to recognize her as the new world record holder for a pacific bluefin tuna catch, and she's still waiting for the official word.
2月19日,唐娜在自己的“鬥士號”船上捕到了這條重達411.6公斤的太平洋藍鰭金槍魚。唐娜已經向國際漁獵協會申報了這條魚的尺寸,她還在等待官方確認“世界之最”的消息。

"I hooked up at 9:10 a.m. with the reel screaming," Pascoe told the Saltwater Sportsman. "The fish never surfaced, so we had no idea what was on the other end. After three hours, the fish surfaced and the skipper yelled 'Tuna, world record!'"
唐娜表示,“我是在早上9點10分的時候釣到這條大魚的。起先它一直沒有浮出水面,我們也不知道釣到的到底是什麼。經過了3個小時,這條大魚慢慢浮出水面,我們都大叫道‘是金槍魚,破世界紀錄級別的大魚!’”

At 411.6kg, the fish weighs twice as much as a baby elephant and could fill 3162 cans of tuna.
這條金槍魚重約411.6公斤,體重約爲一頭小象的兩倍,可以做成3162個金槍魚罐頭。

Alistair Blair, chairman of The Fish Society, the largest online fish retailer in Britain, told MailOnline: 'The wholesale value of a bluefin tuna that size would be in the realm of $8,300 to $16,500 - that's about four times the value of an ordinary tuna. The retail value, of course, would be much higher - somewhere around $83,000 or more.'
漁協主席、英國最大的在線漁業零售商阿利斯泰爾-布萊爾表示,“這條金槍魚的批發價可以達到8300美元到16500美元,是普通金槍魚的4倍。如果是零售的話,就會更貴了,差不多可以達到83000美元或更多。”

Last year, however, a 222kg bluefin tuna sold for $1.09 million at a Tokyo auction. By that standard, Donna's fish could be worth up to $2 million at auction.
去年在東京的拍賣會上,一條重達222公斤的金槍魚拍出了109萬美元的高價。如果按照這個標準來看,唐娜的這條大魚價值至少超過200萬美元。

Donna, however, is unable to sell it because the fish wasn't caught on a commercial vessel. Instead, she plans to have it mounted by a taxidermist at the Houhora Big Game & Sports Fishing Club in New Zealand.但是唐娜不能賣掉這條金槍魚,因爲她不是在商業漁船上捕到的這條魚。因此,她決定將其做成動物標本放在新西蘭的一傢俱樂部裏。

Donna explained: 'We were originally going to have it smoked and shared around our friends, but then we were talked out of this as it was so monumental.'
唐娜解釋說,“我們原本是打算把這條魚烤來吃,和我們的朋友一起分享它的美味的。但是,我們覺得這實在太有紀念意義了(所以決定把它做成標本)。”
