Funny, my wife does not like fishing at all, but she does like that show. I like the big guy, the captain of the Hot Tuna, who is always out there with his dog. And I find the harpoon boat/spotter plane interesting.
Interesting to me that the guys in the lead catch what, one fish a week? Not what I was expecting. Though I suppose there are better captains out there who have no interest in being on TV. As someone who knows nohting about this fishery, I like to watch it in small doses. I assume that all of the drama within the boats and between the boats, at least most of it, is scripted to generate interest.
