(CNN) Three teenage fishermen can tell their friends about the big one that didn't get away after fighting for 7 hours to land a huge bluefin tuna earlier this month off the coast of Maine. The fish weighed about 700 pounds and was strong enough to drag them for 10 miles before they could reel it in, 17-year-old boat owner Wyatt Morse told CNN. The teens were about 40 miles off the coast of Portland when they caught the fish. "We didn't see the fish until 6 hours into the fight. Morse said they could tell that the fish was huge, even though they couldn't see it.
