18 FOOT? 🤯 Do you believe it? 👇

In rare deep-sea footage recorded by a Remote Operated Vehicle (ROV) near an offshore oil platform, observers documented a tuna estimated at nearly 18 feet in length.

For perspective, Atlantic bluefin tuna usually grow 6–8 feet long, with record individuals near 13 feet. That makes this sighting extraordinary—suggesting there may be undocumented giants in the deep.

These ROV inspections, though routine, sometimes reveal the hidden ecosystems around subsea oil rigs. Structures like these act as artificial reefs, drawing schools of fish and the predators that follow them.

Encounters like this highlight how much remains uncharted beneath the waves—over 80% of the ocean is still unexplored. Even with familiar species, we’re still discovering just how massive and mysterious they can become.

L E G E N D! 🙌😂 Would you? True story 👇

Etienne Constable of Seaside, California, complied with a city order to hide his boat by building a 6-foot fence and having his artist neighbor paint a photorealistic mural of the boat directly on it. by @qualifiedfishing

⚔️ This incredible shot tells the story of a broadbill swordfish that wasn’t going down without a fight — driving its bill clean through the wooden hull of a boat like a hot knife through butter. A testament to the raw power of one of the ocean’s most formidable predators, this is why big-game anglers have always respected the broadbill. Hooking one is hard enough… but when they start punching back, you know you’re in for a ride!

Additional info from Larry Litvinoff:
The name of this boat is the Oscar II. The picture was given to me by Dr. Bill Robinson back around 1975. You can still see the water dripping out of the puncture hole on the right. This picture was taken in Newport Beach, Ca. I gave this picture to John Doughty at JD’s Big Game tackle store on Balboa Island, Newport Beach, and is still hanging on display in his store.
