At least U know what is going on...think Mr Sandman is jealous...the show is all scripted except where Tyler was shoved...that was real and happened at the tinny tuna tournament held here in Gloucester...I think in the next two weeks there is a boat show in NJ...one of the characters will be making 2,000 for a four hour signing endorsement...some do not get paid much for each episode...and Mr Sandman should know people before degrading them ..one is a commercial airline pilot others have their own business....:)

Hardly jealous. The last thing I would want to do is emulate any of them. I am just judging them by their behavior on the few shows I have seen. I think they degrade themselves.
In some regard you right though, I should not call them names, for that I apologize. I don't know any of them and really don't watch the show very much except in passing but find their behavior degrades all other fisherman. (scripted or not)

Nearly all of them are constantly complaining about money and implying the other guy is always taking "his" share... and are trying to teach the other guy a lesson of some sort by getting some sort of at-sea revenge. It is a ridiculous waste of time and not entertaining. I saw a Tee shirt this summer that would be appropriate for them...

:rollem::rollem::rollem:

You guys should watch what you say about these guys !
They might not like it and give you a call threatening sending some mafia goon relatives to see you !
Don't ask me how I know :hidin:

If it weren't for the drama it wouldn't be on at all.

Its a show looking for ratings and ratings only. 4/5 of the show is scripted /and or acting. Just look how poorly the editing is done. Enough said.

i don't record it

I spoke to some on the show. The level of editing is epic and 9/10 scripted. Almost as real as any other gun, pawn, swamp, housewife, driller, digger show that is on..........

Now thats a show I would watch :rotf2:

Tyler's dad has a large moving company in Nashua, that no doubt had a hand in financing that boat of his. He can crow all he wants about how he's paid for it. He wouldn't have gotten the loan if he weren't in the lucky gene club. The boy would be well served to learn some humility and appreciation for life's circumstances. Commercial fishermen have their own form of prairie justice... That said, he's put his time in over the years on others' charter boats. Think he would have learned something about ethics from them. Yes, he's a kid, but he doesn't have to act like a stupid kid.
Marciano is on over the other site. He's one of us.

I guy up north I know knows him and the rest of them very well.
According to him there was no loan involved, the father is loaded and told him to go buy any boat he wanted, not sure why he chose a 35 Donnell, I would have chosen a mid 40 ft Wes Mac !
As for him the way he appears on the show don't believe any of it.
He puts a LOT of fish in the truck also !

I trust Ronnie, so good to know the details better than I did. Never doubted his time or his catch by the way..... But just knew his dad was involved as opposed to Tyler paying for it.

I know we all love to scrutinize the hell out of these shows, but I still think it's pretty cool that a show like this is based in our backyard..

What I really want to know is if they get paid for being on the show or how it really works...

It was good to see them get paid something other then 20 bucks a pound..hee hee

Yes, but Capt Bill gets $5!

Them prices R gross...then take out for shipping etc:...:)

They get paid for being on the show....Marciarno and .com R the highest paid plus endorsements and free stuff...rods...reels etc:....Marciarno has a choice of one of 3 free new engines for his boat...even prior to his boat sinking and he will be getting new electronics and will pocket his insurance money.

That's great to hear, especially if it's produced like you guys say, if they are going to "act" they should get compensated!

Marciarno was at the Jersey boat show a 3 day event he did not realise that he would sell out on 500 sweat shirts in 2 hours of the boat show opening...he will be at the Baltimore boat show in March...Marciarno and a crew member from .com will be taping a 30 minute food show with Rachel Ray....Marciarno is the most popular character on the show....:)

See..there is some hope in human kind if he is the most popular!

They get paid. Nothing wild like Hollywood starts, but they get something, and then they can supplement that with appearances and talks at fishing shows etc.

I just wish someone would knock that kids grin off his dopey-#^&#^&#^&#^&in face.....

another case of "dads money made me great"

He thinks it's his own personal Jackass show :hs:

How does a 150 tuna measure 74"????

what a crock
that fish did not even look 6 feet including the tail
guess they were desperate

deheaded and gutted. They weigh fish all different ways on the show?:smash:

I know that, but even before gutting and with the head, it was short in my opinion, figured it would go over 200 with head

the tape measure wasn't even stretched

They were on Fox Boston a few days ago.

Tuna are measure by Curved fork legnth.

Looks like some of the Captains will be at the RISAA show, I'm sure you guys will be lined up to meet them! :D

I think the show sucks watched it once............

the cup does seem to be half empty most of the time.....

as in whoa (sp) is me for i fish for tuna....

sing a song dude..... whistle, hum a lyric , play beatles music

something / anything other than complaining....

Question for you guys as I know nothing about Tuna fishing - on the show, when they hook up, they start driving the boat, but you never see them pull the anchor, are they doing it and we just don't see it or what is happening?

Usually drop the line overboard, the line has a buoy and they go back after to retrieve it, unless some scumbag takes it on them
