Sure...it would be worth a lot more had he decided to rush it to Tokyo and put it up for auction. It would have even been worth a lot more than 5,000 had he brought it to one of the international boats offshore and had it sampled and sold it to them, but not a half a million dollars.
This is true with all commercial fishing though. I spent a good part of my life working all day catching a product I sold over the dock at average $6.00/lb and could drive 1 1/2 hours to Miami beach and buy my product that I just sold them for average $50.00/lb.
