a lot of false drama. way too many commercails and just brutal. Nice gaff job on the mako. the tuna was cool though. Dont eat sword either and yes long liners suck.

I spent a year and a half of my life creating a video (Gladiator of the Deep/Death of a Resource) that showed how destructive longlining and ocean drift gillnetting was to swordfish, sharks, turtles and sea birds. The RFA was instrumental in getting the current time and territory closures in Florida that has been responsible for much of the swordfish comeback...I have NO use for either non-selective method of fishing.

I'd like to see a show of draggers killing 10,000 pounds of fluke to make their 1,000 pounds of Jumbos NOW THATS A SHOW WORTH WATCHING!!!

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.

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)

I only eat pond raised swordfish.


Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body...but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand - martini in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming WOO~HOO - What a Ride!

the full moon looks orange sometimes when it rises because the light has to pass through more of the atmosphere then when the moon is higher in the sky. the blue light waves scatter but the red light waves pass through...... if you were wondering.

As far as indiscriminate fisheries, put the following in order from worst to less.

Long lining, Gillnet, Bottom Dragging.

My guess would be
Gillnet, Bottom dragging, Long lining

Guy being interviewed on wzlx Sunday morning talk radio is some guy who has dedicated his life to trash in the ocean. He says one of the biggest things with them is long liners. In a storm I guess these guys lose the lines. They end up tangling something and causing huge "garbage patches" in the ocean.

Just thought it was an interesting point given the talk of this show.

as far as TV goes, i thought it was pretty good compared to the rest of the crap that is on. i'm not going to pile on the guys for trying to make a living, whether i agree with it or not. and by the way, that mako would taste good on the grill.

I have been watching and have found some of it intriguing. The best part was the crew on board the Eagle Eye got about 25,000 each. Then they flash to Chompers wife handing out checks and those guy got 800 each. Now I am no business man but she said she had to borrow money to pay her crew, and their boat hauled in the 2nd most catch, either someone lives high on the hog, or needs remedial math

If his crew were smart they would tell him to pound sand especially with all the crap they put up with from him..
