The show is pretty much a joke, but then again, saying that it 'confirms that most commercial fishermen... are not very smart' is shortsighted as well. You've got a reality TV show that's seeking ratings. One shouldn't judge an entire populace based on the actions of a few.
Case in point-
I don't look at this and say most recreational fisherman are idiots who keep short fish. I say those specific individuals are idiots
But seriously, they could have done a better job at this. Curious what the captains think about the show. I wonder how much of the "drama" was just created in the cutting room.
