Harpooning Swords
Just watched an interesting episode on RI PBS about harpooning swords on George's Bank. Series is call Saving the Oceans. Pooning is environmentally friendly in that it is selective and no by-catch vs long lining.

 Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.

The meat isnt as tought as a tuna - it essentially melts a hole in them and the dart pulls. |

Dont fire until you see the whites of their eyes!

A good run is better than a bad stand!

I do know that the Canadians got the better side of line when it comes to swordfishing. The area on the far eastern end of Georges Bank, up near the Northeast Channel has been on fire the past seven or so years. I talked with a spotter pilot who flew out there and he said it was pretty crazy with Canadian stick boats and with fish.
They're still all over Georges on our side it just seems the fish favor the other side, up on the Northern Edge and across the Northeast Peak.
Pretty cool fish.

I cooked some thresher a few weeks ago with Eben. Not a bad tasting fish. Grilled it.

Just watched both episodes....thanks for posting this.
I wish we did lot more of this and a lot less of indiscriminate fishing methods (LL and Purse and dragging). I know not all species can be fished this way but we have to do something. The purse seine tuna disaster this season will come back to bite us in the ass. They have to stop this. Just because we have the ability to remove all the fish in a school if we want to doesn't mean we should.
