Su’ao township in northeast Taiwan is celebrating the start of tuna season after local fishers caught the "first" bluefin of the year. The massive fish, weighing nearly 270 kilograms, was awarded the title “First Tuna," an honor that goes to the first catch of the season weighing over 180 kilograms. It will be auctioned off later this week.
