Swords: Life on the line

[FishermanTim]

Mayb they should do an expose' of the destructive nature of the commercial industries that make their living off of the ocean.
No favoritism, cover each industry equally, so that you see the REAL price we pay for seafood.

It could cover so much territory, and let us know about the seafood we eat, where is is harvested, and the methods involved in harvesting.

Either the editor of this show was drinking, or they want to purposely get PETA bent out of shape.

I thought it was going to be more interesting being local. While it was cool seeing the large tuna brought on board, I was turned off by a lot of the show as others have mentioned. The baby sword and the gaff-and-released mako were a little much for me. Looks like I'll have to stick to re-runs of deadliest catch and the old ladie's 10 different real housewives shows.

Nevermind PETA. Nobody likes longliners.
Not even guys on midwater trawlers.

They've done more damage than anybody.

Awecomeon now...you all know that it was the rec fishermen than wiped out swordfish, cod, bass, fluke, herring bunker and every other species in trouble...Comm fishermen have quota's they can do no damage ... you should know better.

Indiscriminate methods of fishing are obsolete and should be stopped world wide. But the chances of this happening are slim to none. Comm fisherman have the very attitude spouted by the clip of that show.."I don't care who is working against you we are going to get ours" (even if it is the last fish in the sea)
