Did anyone see the "Tuna Wranglers"....

..on Discovery channel last night?
I tuned in, expecting to see guys actually fishing for tuna the way it should be. Instead, I see these jerks (they don't qualify as fishermen in any sense of the word) "corralling" tuna by luring them into a net with anchovies. Where the hell is the sport in that?
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.
