SAN DIEGO (CNN) -- It may sound like a fishy tale, but these anglers have the weighty evidence to back up their boasting.

A group of tired fishermen returned to San Diego Tuesday from a trip off the coast of Mexico. In their hold were 18 tons of fish, including giant yellowfin tuna -- some of which weighed more than 200 pounds.

Fishermen say the weather phenomena known as El Nino has warmed up the waters of the Pacific, attracting bigger fish and making for potentially more lucrative hauls.
