LAKE CHARLES, La. (KPLC) - A find on Rutherford Beach has quite a tale.
Nelwyn Miller found the tag for a blue tuna off the beach in Cameron Parish. She sent it back to Stanford University scientists, who had tagged the tuna.
They were able to provide their data, which showed the fish swimming all the way from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico over a period of eight months.
