Most wise capt's will only take what can be iced. If you don't the meat is crap.

Last year we didn't get out. The tuna were too far out and I suspect that could be the same for a few more years.

Cycles change. The blob might have got them as well.

From what I read our North pacific tuna are roughly 5-7 year olds. Maybe we are seeing the results that have plagued our salmon the last couple years.
