We anal-ize it with scrutiny because it's our own back yard.
The show is for television entertainment 95 % of the people watching are never going tuna fishing. Just like I'll never be on an Alaskan crab boat, or lobstering on georges.
I'm sure if any of the footage of the fishbucket comes out there will be some eyebrows raised as well :shock:

I will have to say, Bill on Bounty Hunter should try to get up a little earlier if he needs to catch tuna to pay the bills.... JK
The boys that were on Dave's numbers were not "Googans" either....

Seems the nature of these shows to always make it a boxing match. The lobster wars were pathetic,guess trying to make catching lobster interesting for a tv show you need confrontation.

anyone catch sundays episode? it wasd nice to see more fish and less b/s...also nice to see some small throw backs(show made it look like there was only giants around), it was a bit annoying that dave on tuna.com kept wineing about not getting the biggest tuna. The rest of the fleet knew it bothered him and kept grinding him lol.
also liked when hard merchandise hooked up while on a cod charter....

Like the editing: one shot mirror surface, next shot 2-4 ft'ers!

Capts are saying season coming to end/last trip (imply Oct/Nov) and we are only going into episode #5?

Anyone else notice how the narrator says Gloucester? I have heard it pronounced a few ways, but not the way he says it.

Everything is better on the rocks.

Mike Rowe is the narrator. He does a ton of shows for discovery, nat geo, etc. He is usually pretty good, but the "Glowster" thing has me dumbfounded. I've sat there and replayed the intro a few times and I can't figure out where he gets his pronunciation from.

Yeah where the hell does he get "Glowster" it's not like he's never been there either, then filmed a Deadliest Catch after show thing there a few years back and he was physically there.

Either way, the yelling about Googans is kinda funny IMO. I don't know anything about tuna fishing, but I'm guessing its just like everything else in that there are some very well known spots that everybody frequents, to call them your own just cause you are trying to make money is kind of #^&#^&#^&#^&ish.

Fish were being taken in close as early as August. The abundance of macks brought them inshore.

wicked Tuna

Anyone consider that Nat. Geo. has an agenda and that is to stop fishing for BFT. All the crap between the capt's doesn't make me like them, except Marciano who seems like a regular guy. When NG starts trying to get a ban people aren't going to care at all because those affected"the capt's" aren't someone they like. Tuna.com doesn't seem to know that I claimed all the numbers 60 yrs ago!

Pure rumor

A close friend said he grew up with Paul stated to me that he was talking with Paul the other day and he "Paulie" said he hit a huge pay day from the show and next year he will have his own boat on the show..
Now my friend sometimes is full of BS and I will not say the $$ amount but it's huge

What a bunch of idiots. The entire show is an embarrassment to all fishermen. It confirms that most commercial fishermen act like a bunch of fools and are not very smart. If this is the class of people fishing out there...they should shut the industry completely down on that basis alone.

I can't watch it, it annoys the $hit out of me. I hope I never see any of them on the water.

I agree for the most part, but remember they are being "coached" too. They want to become actors like the crab fishermen did. So if being obnoxious works, then pump it up. Its NOT reality TV. There is no such thing. LIke those stupid survivor shows. Gimme a break, they ain't suffering. Its all a show. The tuna show is the same. Its all a bunch of crap and made only for rating and $$$$$. Has nothing to do with fisheries crab or tuna.

The show is pretty much a joke, but then again, saying that it 'confirms that most commercial fishermen... are not very smart' is shortsighted as well. You've got a reality TV show that's seeking ratings. One shouldn't judge an entire populace based on the actions of a few.

Case in point-



I don't look at this and say most recreational fisherman are idiots who keep short fish. I say those specific individuals are idiots

But seriously, they could have done a better job at this. Curious what the captains think about the show. I wonder how much of the "drama" was just created in the cutting room.
