These Aussie a$$holes are more concerned that they won't make their goal of $20 million worth of tuna in one trip. If these types of "tuna-rapers" are allowed to continue and (God-forbid) flourish, we can kiss tuna goodbye. These "guys" are wiping out entire schools of tuna in one shot. I guess the rest of the world (or at least the southern hemisphere) has no regulations on tuna harvesting.

Needless to say, I watched it long enough to turn my stomach, an then moved on.

I dont think these guys much care about or or claim to be "Sport" fishing. 20 million bucks can drive people to do almost anything I think.
