This is 100% directed and edited by the producers. These guys are not idiots, they don't talk like this in real life. I'm across the dock from Ralph Pratt. Do you ever hear him on the radio sounding like an idiot?
Seas 20-25 feet?
The boat that won't start, yet you can see land in the background.
The reality is that they tried to make a reality show on staring at a balloon for 13 hrs a day. That's reality. It's miserable, it's boring. They haven't shown George's except for the first episode. I saw George's this summer where there was so many boats hooked up at one time, people were practically crashing into each other with fish on the line.
For that first 5 minutes that fish takes off, it's heroin. Trying to replicate that in a 1 hr show is useless, especially inshore tuna fishing, which is essentially lottery fishing.
They also never filmed the part where one of the captains on the show comes up to my buddy on the dock and apologizes for causing a scene. "it was for the show".
