Very true. It is extemely rare to spot a feeding school of blue fin tuna these days. They are down to less than 10% of their historical population. We need a morotorium on fishing for Blue FIn both commercial and recreational until the stocks have recovered. I am a die hard tuna fisherman myself but know it is necessary if we are to save them for future generations.
A great start would be to remove all seiners from the water, i fish as well in Canada and know that if it was left to a rod and reel fishery we wouldnt be seeing a decline...why catch 40-80lbs tuna in a sein that never had a chance to reproduce yet, i found it funny when the guy in the video said that 300lbs was a big one!! In PEI here the avg is 800lbs
and people think bluefin are becoming hard to come by....they all grow up at the same time fellas...anyone out on the bank knows what i am talking about
The tuna and the whales are feeding on sand eels. That day they were about 6" long. I have been to this area over 5000 times in my life and have never seen a feeding show like this.
A Gloucester video, and I don't think I heard one single profanity - amazing!

Ban all commercial Seining and longlining today! These guys are devestating the stocks of all pelagics around the world.
Rod & Reel and Harpoon only to save the resource.

It seems like the whales and the tuna were working together to contain those sand eels. Awesome video.

I'm confused...Were the whales eating the tuna or some other fish that the tuna were also feeding on?
