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

Some big nets and big money.I'd do it just like I'd go on deadliest catch.Never happen but if the offer came about I would do it.Try anything once or twice.The show if thats what it is was kind of boring IMO .They wait then wait then wait.

The ocean CAN be used like a farm if managed correctly. It did seem like the aussies had it pretty well managed, whats the difference if they take a big chunk of there quota in one shot instead of over a longer period of time. Its the same argument the rec guys have a bout commercial bass, in the the end it is the rec group that harvests more fish than the commercial.

Believe me, I do understand the right to earn a living.
I think the thing that got me was the fact that the show was promoted as "Tuna Wranglers", which would lead most of us to believe they were going to be fighting the fish, like on a rod and reel.
Instead, the show was like a very dull "Deadliest Catch" knock-off.

If tuna are being harvested by fleets with nets, so be it. I can't argue there, particularly if there are quotas in place, and I've enjoyed the fruits of their harvest.

I should have been more specific in my original "rant".
I expected to see a show about CATCHING tuna, not HARVESTING tuna.
