Chummer on a commercial “lift pole” tuna boat. His job is so important in keeping the school around the boat and in a frenzy that he is the only crewman that is not fishing. Again, there is no way the few baits doled out around these boats are feeding every tuna. But the chummer’s goal is to keep the waters active to stimulate that feeding urge we mentioned before.

if this kind of fishing is sustainable why the heck are the catch reports saying otherwise, just because you are so set in your ways and want to make money with a resource that cant keep up with your greed
In the late 50s most of the San Diego bait fishing tuna fleet converted to net fishing with giant nylon purse seines and a motorized power block on a boom to pull the net. The days of bait fishing tuna faded into history as did San Diego as a major tuna port. Bait fishing of albacore (white meat tuna) on smaller boats is still done off the West Coast, but on a small scale.
This video clip is from a feature film documentary "The Naked Sea" from around 1954 that made the rounds of Southern Cal theaters at the time when I first viewed it. The film is an outstanding portrayal of bait fishing yellowfin and skipjack tuna on a 4 mo trip as far South as the Galapagos Islands and offshore Peru. It was filmed aboard the San Diego tuna clipper "Chicken of the Sea", a 125' , 360 ton fish capacity vessel. The narrator was actor William Conrad, guitar music by Larendo Almedo
8 cents apiece for a shark bullet back in those days was alot of money for a bullet. That rifle looked like a 22 long rifle. This guy could have replaced Jack Webb of Dragnet fame with his "just the facts" monologue. It's your business your life, stinking sharks, im surprised he didnt introduce us to the Marlboro Man.
@load222 I wish too..but the problem is, that in these better times we do a lot to make sure there will be no more better times..and even if there would be better times again, I bet we would do it again
@watertothepeople im a sport fisherman...we get blamed for the annihilation of a species when we take less than 9% of the total count world wide. better times will comeback when american, japanese, and mexican governments disallow the use of mile long nets on commercial boats.
@seaslayer419 i was referring to bluefin. if you make a statement that we have healthy oceans and sustainable fisheries you are no longer in the real world and I am sorry for that. I realize some have traditions and some rely on fishing for their families, but reality is reality in the end. And sure, you can throw me a species that has healthy stocks; but really, who the f*** is out there getting a head count??? They think stocks are healthy when they bite - very scientific. SEASLAYER - cool.
Now I know why gluttony is one of the seven deadly sins. I live in Canada and I don't feel one bit sorry for the out of work fisherman. They would fish every dam fish in the sea if you let them. Just wish my tax dollars didn't have to pay for those bums welfare.
@gearbow Ignorance is bliss, for every fish caught several Hundred swam right bye those hooks and never bit... This type of fishing is sustainable, Believe it or not but Fishermen really do care about the ocean we live and work on.
the sainers are the one the mess it up. Netting hundreds of tons at a time. At least here the fish still have to bite the hooks. They don't stand a chance against the nets!!
@jaimereyes1 STUPID COMMENT. Those are real bamboo poles, idiot. We never used steel. Can you imagine if you use steel, even aluminum, moron? You'd be so tired within 10minutes flat, bastard. Watch my fishing videos, so you'll learn something, instead of learning about fishing by watching videos and mas-tur-ba-ting.
@jaimereyes1 thank you for explaining me. I will try the bamboo sticks on my boat in Srilanka. Also I wonder why people become so quickly agressive for such a litlle matter and joke.
This type of fishing was acceptable and sustainable because at least 25% of the school would get away, not so with the greedy giant round up Tuna cowboy netting system that surrounds the whole Tuna school and tows it back to port . The rape of the seas has got to stop so fight to stop the greed!
Just watched Horizon: The Death Of The Oceans ? Its upseting to see because there are some many numerous ways we are destroying fish numbers worldwide the obvious ones like Overfishing, Climate Change, acidification (which affects more than most people would know), but others like noise pollution have huge affects. We really are ruining the world for the future generations.
@poker4080 lol but theres a certain way u have to catch the tuna with the bamboo stick live bait run around and your lures plus water mimiking the sound of fish bait in danger.
I really hope they go back to this kind of fishing is it means they will stop using nets. I fear that one day there won't be Any fish for my grandkids
Anyone else notice that most of the "animal friendly" people fighting fishing seem to choose criticizing the lone person fishing for one fish at a time using rod, reel, and skill over the trolling ships using nets to harvest tons and tons of fish at a time? I don't think any kind of fishing should be disallowed, but mass fishing should be slightly limited. Teach some men to fish, and you feed them for a lifetime.
AS is should but hasnt' been for so long.....give the schools a rest would ya? they twenty years plus to recover..... find a new appetite.... please let them be...... the change in the population has been huge!!!!!!!!!! let them grow and be... and once again we can have some more fun fishing.... please let them be....
Back then the fish had more of a chance to get away.. these days huge nets are used to fish for tuna that goes in the can... no chance to get away. Sustainable fishing at it's finest!
Damn good, my old man used to do this, took me on my first trip on the Kitty Hawk owned by Mr. vattuone, was a bait boat converted into a seiner, those bait guys had alot of balls.
fishing for anything should be done by spearfishing, rod fishing and cast netting, not this long line and gillnet bs that is driving fish stocks close to extinction
This video is quite old, now the seas are not that good...the population of tuna has decreased in a really high percentage in the last 20 years...must watch the documentary The end of the line...
What a great educational video. We fish for Barramundi with poles in North Queensland. Just dangle a live bait over a snag, feel the barra and then just pull him in in one go.
They should make all tuna fisherman pole like this maybe for one year every five and they can use nets the other four years. This would give the tuna populations a chance to recover. There's enough canned tuna in the world to last, surely!!!!
did he say tuna? ...this will be a film in a museum in a few years... fishing like this will never occur again. In 40years we've almost wiped out fish stocks. People need to learn to live in harmony with the natural environment.
But have to add that despite pole and line being "better" and cleaner etc., the mentality of "up to armpits in tuna" seems universal, no... kinda the same mentality that drove stocks way down and some critically, mostly from the industrial tuna fisheries but its still a universal attitude of an "endless sea" of fish, especially in those days, that this film depicts.

@celticraider1 I guess its been a year since you posted this but in case you never found out the answer to your question it is because there is no barb on the hook. AND, this style of fishing was called fisshing from the rack.
@celticraider1 becaus they wee using barbless hooks and the fish fell off rather easily. that's why they also had to make sure to get them in with one swing after hooking up...

We have to fight for survival to be able to eat and have food .. just like a lion in the circle of life .. they have to kill to eat .. so think before you speak
Depopulation of the entire human race (except for me) is the only answer. We must erase the human parasite plague that endlessly leeches upon our limited resources. We Environmental Elite shall eradicate Global Warming, snuffing out the human life whoes very breath suffocates our Goddess Earth. With your help we'll create a better pandemic, a more lethal virus, a deadlier plague, in hopes that one day the disease called Humans are utterly extinct. Because the world is a better place without YOU!
What on Earth could be killing off the world's Dolphin population?
Oh, its the dirty stink-sauce sniffing slant-eyed gook monkies called Japanese. Filthy fucking smut kiddie-porn fetish anal assfuckers, the whole stinkin' lot of 'em. In 5 short years, dolphins will be extinct, thanks to the FUCKING JAPONESE.
Search for "The Cove" video on YouTube, you'll quickly agree Japan needs to be NUKED AWAY like the jews of old, a ruthless parasitic race draining the world's limited oceanic resources.
i'm srry, did u get dropped on ur head too many times as a child? i think that u have been doing too much drugs. i will admit that it is alot of tuna.
humans arent a disease to earth. we would be called a virus. but thats our nature.. your like a virus thats ashamed of yourself. like a retarded virus
UNLIKE THE AUSSIE WITH THE 100 POUND MARLIN THAT HE CLAIMS TO BE 450 Pounds then eaten by the shark, just callin it out !, that marlin was 110 max, dstupid aussie!
nalydsemaj: that's true places like Solomon Islands and some western pacific islands still using and adopting this sustainable practice, South Africa also as you mention it.
@tunaseiners we're still doing it right here in American waters on the Pacific Ocean. We get albacore that way, and you're right on about it being a sustainable practice
WOW! This is a REAL workout for sure; I have hand-lined cod (250-300) in an 8 hour day; and holly crap what a workout. I could not imagine the work out these guy have fishing this way...
HOLLY TUNA!!!! THIS IS UNREAL FISHING. i HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS....I guess first the warm up with the smaller ones...then the 2-3 man team to hook and toss those 100-200 pounders... What a GREAT video!!! Thanks for sharing...
Best video on youtube, I chase tuna with longline gear for 10 or 12 set trips here in NS, Can. If we can scrape up 10 tonnes of quality tuna in a 2 week trip we`re doing really good. We get around 5/lb for nice yellows. I won't catch 360 tons in a lifetime. Fun too watch. I have much respect for anybody who uses a hook/line. It's the netters who ruin things for real men.
the fishermen cast feathered jigs into the water and haul them back systematically a few seconds later. When fish are larger than 8-15 kg, double poling may be necessary. If a tuna is caught, the movements is prolonged and the tuna lands on the vessel's deck where it releases itself from the hook (because it is barbless). The line is then ready to be thrown again
thanks,i was stunned cause tuna have hard mouths and if the hook gets set then it should not be easy to come out,i know its barbless but i thought it was strange,thanks for the quick reply.
Awesome video.I used to pole skipjack & yellowfin & albacore Tuna NSW Sth Coast Australia 20 years ago.You can't compare anything to poling.Adrenaline rush.Ultimate experience.Yellowfin were the best.Golden lightning strikes from the deep specially at the back of the boat.Pole snappers,Wimp Breakers.,boat hold fillers.Big skipjack were good.Small ones took too long too fill the boat.Fuck,we had muscles everywhere. This all stopped when the cannery closed......In Eden.

@celticraider1 I guess its been a year since you posted this but in case you never found out the answer to your question it is because there is no barb on the hook. AND, this style of fishing was called fisshing from the rack.

@celticraider1 it's the way that the hook is made

@celticraider1 No barbs, a tuna which never stops vibrating like a muthafuck will unhook that j hook easy once tension on the line is released!

@celticraider1 becaus they wee using barbless hooks and the fish fell off rather easily. that's why they also had to make sure to get them in with one swing after hooking up...

@celticraider1 there is no barb on the hook for the specific reason of not having to reach in and unhook the lure

We have to fight for survival to be able to eat and have food .. just like a lion in the circle of life .. they have to kill to eat .. so think before you speak

Depopulation of the entire human race (except for me) is the only answer. We must erase the human parasite plague that endlessly leeches upon our limited resources. We Environmental Elite shall eradicate Global Warming, snuffing out the human life whoes very breath suffocates our Goddess Earth. With your help we'll create a better pandemic, a more lethal virus, a deadlier plague, in hopes that one day the disease called Humans are utterly extinct. Because the world is a better place without YOU!

What on Earth could be killing off the world's Dolphin population?
Oh, its the dirty stink-sauce sniffing slant-eyed gook monkies called Japanese. Filthy fucking smut kiddie-porn fetish anal assfuckers, the whole stinkin' lot of 'em. In 5 short years, dolphins will be extinct, thanks to the FUCKING JAPONESE.
Search for "The Cove" video on YouTube, you'll quickly agree Japan needs to be NUKED AWAY like the jews of old, a ruthless parasitic race draining the world's limited oceanic resources.

@tunaseiners we're still doing it right here in American waters on the Pacific Ocean. We get albacore that way, and you're right on about it being a sustainable practice

Best video on youtube, I chase tuna with longline gear for 10 or 12 set trips here in NS, Can. If we can scrape up 10 tonnes of quality tuna in a 2 week trip we`re doing really good. We get around 5/lb for nice yellows. I won't catch 360 tons in a lifetime. Fun too watch. I have much respect for anybody who uses a hook/line. It's the netters who ruin things for real men.

barbless hooks
paniauboy 2 years ago 2
how do the hooks just fall out of their mouths when they pull them in?
gonein7 2 years ago 10
the fishermen cast feathered jigs into the water and haul them back systematically a few seconds later. When fish are larger than 8-15 kg, double poling may be necessary. If a tuna is caught, the movements is prolonged and the tuna lands on the vessel's deck where it releases itself from the hook (because it is barbless). The line is then ready to be thrown again
kalidrus 2 years ago 13
thanks,i was stunned cause tuna have hard mouths and if the hook gets set then it should not be easy to come out,i know its barbless but i thought it was strange,thanks for the quick reply.

Awesome video.I used to pole skipjack & yellowfin & albacore Tuna NSW Sth Coast Australia 20 years ago.You can't compare anything to poling.Adrenaline rush.Ultimate experience.Yellowfin were the best.Golden lightning strikes from the deep specially at the back of the boat.Pole snappers,Wimp Breakers.,boat hold fillers.Big skipjack were good.Small ones took too long too fill the boat.Fuck,we had muscles everywhere. This all stopped when the cannery closed......In Eden.
