I remember hearing that tuna can actually heat up so much during a struggle that they begin to cook themselves and it's frowned upon, so I would assume a slower fight would be better. I do remember a short documentary on the subject where a Japanese tuna buyer was at a broker and was pretty skeptical of American fisherman and pointed out things they had done that a Japanese fisherman wouldn't. My experience is only from catching small game fish in the Gulf of Mexico, but I can agree that fishing is a brutal pastime in some ways, but also fish are not particularly sympathetic animals.
