Brandon McGirl caught a bluefin tuna weighing 1,116 pounds during an overnight trip out of Rye Harbor, New Hampshire, on Saturday, according to WMUR, the local ABC affiliate that first reported the catch. The fish is reported to be the largest bluefin caught in New Hampshire waters, surpassing the previous state record by about 154 pounds. The previous record was set in 2013 by a crew on the Salt Shaker out of New Castle, according to Breitbart News. McGirl described the conditions as difficult and rougher than expected. The crew chased the fish for about a mile and towed it back to the harbor because it could not be lifted onto the boat. Fox News compared the catch with a recent 500-pound bluefin caught off San Diego.

All three headlines lead with the record and the weight, with Fox News and Breitbart News using the stronger ‘insane’ and ‘whopping’ wording, while the New York Post's headline is the most straightforward; all three articles come from right-side outlets and the story has no left or center coverage in this sample.
