[gregghainen]

Black fins are not a regulated species. Would they be included in the 20 fish per person total bag limit? Thanks in advance.

Isn't the 20 fish pp limited to 'reef fish' ? (blft are NOT a reef fish)

Black fin tuna limits in state water are 2 fish or 100 lbs., in Atlantic federal water there is no size or bag limit.

Edit; Federal Gulf water No bag or size limit same as Federal Atlantic

Are you talking about the Gulf? Blackfin Tuna is not part of the reef fish so not included in reef fish 20.

Go to the link above, click on recreational regulations. There is a section that covers tuna. Blackfin, no closure, size etc.
