  • @TubeBoobforyou not too many pup/rat hookups when you use 18/0 circle hooks.the ones you do catch are released alive. most bycatch is released alive since we switched over to circles. nmfs observer stats prove this just take the time to do some research. just look around youtube and see how many rec fishermen off fla are catching and gaffing juvies then high fivin each other like its a double marker. a bunch of rec fishermen using electric reels now also...not very sporting is it?

  • @TubeBoobforyou no it was 105% in 2009 so they were very high in 2007. Cant give you an exact number but not in any kind of trouble as you tree huggers would have people believe.

  • @TubeBoobforyou Efficiency on a stick boat? Are you kiddin? You have to steam 100 miles offshore(big fuel bill),can only stick during the day and the weather has to be flat calm all in the hopes of sighting and sticking 5-10 fish if your lucky...thats not effecient. Selective yes...efficient no.

  • @Longliner2011 Yeah I'm a meter reader and part-time fisherman who has worked on a commercial boat before. Why don't you just admit that there are better ways at selectively harvesting pelagics?

  • @Longliner2011 No stupid, I'm merely saying that bycatch and juvenilles are cleverly edited out to depict longlining as some kind of perefect fishing method. You can't argue with the efficiency and bycatch mortality rates on a stick boat.

  • Right and your telling me the MSY of swords was at 105% in 2007 when this video was shot? Sorry I'll call the BS flag on that one. And please spare me your oh so punishing longline regs when we know how many foreign longliners do not obey those regs fishing in international waters. Observers are good, all for it...

  • ******I work in federal law enforcement *******

    This explains you jumping to conclusions without knowing any real facts about longlining.

  • @TubeBoobforyou You are telling fishermen who actually longline fish to watch the discovery channel "reality" show about longlining to understand the longline fishery???? You cant be that dumb!!!

  • @TubeBoobforyou

    Jackass...the Atlantic swordfish is at 105% of maximum sustainable yield. There are just as many swords now as have ever been. Both Canadian and US longline fishermen have to abide by regulations you cannot fathom. To start with we HAVE to use 16-18/0 circle hooks not J hooks as you claim. Circle hooks prevent gut hooking and therefore allow us to release by catch alive. We have to carry govt observers. You are misinformed and to ignorant to educate yourself before judging.

  • I love the look of money in its rawest form.
