Courtesy Lola Crisp Lola Crisp, a 13-year-old teenage girl from Barnstable, Massachusetts, caught a whopper of a bluefin tuna Sept. 18 while participating in a commercially-permitted tuna tournament in the famed Cape Cod fishing area. Crisp's tuna was unloaded from her fishing boat at Barnstable Harbor, where it weighed a staggering 591-pounds, according to CAI, a Cape Code National Public Radio station. Crisp pocketed $8,500 for winning the event. Each boat paid an $800 tourney entry fee.
