Me, too. Few people realize one of the best swordfish grounds in the world was the water between BI and Nomans and out 10-15 miles. As a kid I watched 300-500lb fish brought to the dock by boats out for just the day (harpooned). Long lining put an end to all that and wiped out the great white marlin fishery we had 20 years ago to boot. Just another commercial interest/fishery management/greed horror story. |

A good run is better than a bad stand!

Wasn't too impressed - may watch on occasion and might not.
I also have a self-imposed sword ban. Another case of too many hooks in the water.

agreed, its one thing to see a full pot of crab come over the rail, but seeing swords and big tuna get dragged on board bleeding will put a lot of viewers off quickly... |

It's also one thing to haul crab DURING dangerous seas, and another to finish hauling fish before a storm hits.
This will rank up along with the Lobstermen saga and the Tuna Wranglers......   |
