BRUNSWICK — The Georgia Department of Natural Resources announced Friday that a men’s record for the heaviest little tunny, Euthynnus alletteratus, has been set by angler Dusty Blackburn of Fleming. On May 4, Blackburn caught a 22-pound 1-ounce little tunny in the Gulfstream 70 nautical miles east of Ossabaw Island. Once boated, the fish appeared large enough to challenge the state record.
