Good idea, controlling the fish can be a challenge.

Wow, this show is pathetic! I was hoping to learn something. I'm learning they are a bunch of whiners! More fishing less whining! Makes our region look like a bunch of losers. Sad representation IMO.

Good to see it in the 'second' episode, but just goes to show how scripted/edited the whole show is. Spun one way on Georges, next episode on the bank...

Last time I checked steaking it up at sea was still frowned upon...

That's the ticket, but add about six inches of fluorescent yellow or orange tape to the bitter end to make it more visible.

while that may be true....the only reason he circulates
in port to the other boats is just to rub their noses in it...
and nothing else.....

My understanding is these guys didn't even talk to each other, let alone fish with each other before the show .....it's a show.

Any idea what these guys make in $$ for being part of the show?

Steve,
Dave on the .com I believe put over 80 on the boat last year. The dude is a stud ;like him or not. As for not speaking to each other I believe the term "casual" acquaintances is appropriate.

Jet BLue pays well also........

Hard Merchandise puts his share of fish on the floor in Tokyo also... Don't let him kid you. He isn't eating raman noodles every night.

I agree...

When Discovery was doing lobster wars, it was something like 5 or 10k... I can't imagine a smaller network is paying 70K

The big established Fairhaven boat(s) saw 10k, the young guns running around, not so much.

This was a big, established boat, not from Fairhaven, who told them to go screw...

Each boat is paid a small sum per episode aired. 10 weeks, not sure how many times it's re-aired weekly, 4 ?
Obviously they are hoping it takes off like American Chopper & Deadliest catch and the $ will come later.
They are some making $ off selling tshirts & merchandise also.

We all know tuna fishing is boring sitting out there all day chumming....if they did not add to it ....who would watch it.

Like I said earlier in my post it's good guy bad guy scenario... thats what makes the show.

I went out on the Bounty Hunter last year with a friend who chartered the boat. He got one fish about 72". The fish was stuck before they knew if it was legal or not. I didn't understand why they would harpoon it if they were not sure that it was legal. Caught the fish on a mackeral dangling from a kite.

I would rather have gone out on a boat that was targeting sbft rather than waiting around all day for one fish. I spent 12 hours on that boat and it was too long. They obviously work hard for their fish.

Dotcom can catch fish, that is for sure..... Hard Merchandise at least made a break to find fish away from the weekend warriors..... But the rest of the show sucked..... Bunch of whining babies. Someone "jumped" MY numbers. Screaming at anchored boats to move when "they" arrive on scene. Has done nothing but convince me to have a firearm onboard when I go out in the future. Fatheaded A holes. Eff them and anyone who thinks they are right to tell an anchored boat to move. get there earlier........

Last nights show was a joke.
Non stop bitching about Googans, should be 100 times worse now that every guy with a boat and some gear knows their boat.
Another joke was the mate on Bounty Hunter crying !
The mate on Odyssey "Pirate", wonder if he's ever been to a dentist in his life.

I might change the name of my boat to "The Googan"

It seems like there will not be one positive thing that comes out of this show for the tuna fishery.
