Yes, but Capt Bill gets $5!

They get paid for being on the show....Marciarno and .com R the highest paid plus endorsements and free stuff...rods...reels etc:....Marciarno has a choice of one of 3 free new engines for his boat...even prior to his boat sinking and he will be getting new electronics and will pocket his insurance money.

That's great to hear, especially if it's produced like you guys say, if they are going to "act" they should get compensated!

They get paid. Nothing wild like Hollywood starts, but they get something, and then they can supplement that with appearances and talks at fishing shows etc.

How does a 150 tuna measure 74"????

what a crock
that fish did not even look 6 feet including the tail
guess they were desperate

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

deheaded and gutted. They weigh fish all different ways on the show?

I know that, but even before gutting and with the head, it was short in my opinion, figured it would go over 200 with head

the tape measure wasn't even stretched

Question for you guys as I know nothing about Tuna fishing - on the show, when they hook up, they start driving the boat, but you never see them pull the anchor, are they doing it and we just don't see it or what is happening?

Usually drop the line overboard, the line has a buoy and they go back after to retrieve it, unless some scumbag takes it on them

I see... so then I would imagine there is still a risk the fish can get tangled in the anchor line...

Yes very real risk. And other anchors as well. The mono will slice an anchor rope quick

I need a better system this year. I need one of those choke cleats so I can dump the line without running to the bow.

Don't tie a loop in the end that you tie to the boat
Have it go thru the bow chock, then bring it down to midship cleat or wherever you can reach it.
When you need to go Just uncleat the end and let it slip up the rail and thru the bow chock.
I use 1" yellow floating line so I can't run it over

Better yet, do splice a loop at the end of the line, then slip the loop through the cleat, but don't loop it over the cleat, just put a dowel through the loop. Attach a line to the dowel and to let the anchor go, just pull on the dowel line. That way you can release everything without leaving the cockpit.

Just watched the latest episode last night - question for you guys again on the economics of this. They build it up like there is a fortune to be made out there and many captains say they can make a whole year salary, but I just don't see it. I mean it's nine weeks in and the gross earnings for the top guys is about $50K for the entire boat, by the time they pay the crew and fuel and supplies is this really possible?

I hope he's not a professional dart player.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio
