  • Awesome video, nothing compares to making a set on a nice foamer. I worked on the Daniela out of Samoa for years!!! I still get fired up watching this!!! Thanks for posting the video!!!

  • Hi GettinRadOverhere:

    I´m glad you liked...!

    The video was posted only with the intention to be watched by former fishermens or that other people learn about the life of the fihermen, no as some retarded guy try to start a controversy about what is right or wrong in the fishing business. Thank´s for watching, by the way Daniela was the former Conquistador uhh? check tunaseiners(dot)com

  • This boat was called Matawmarfach while fishing for a Giap company her name before I don´t know

  • Great video! Looks like a nice set! What boat is this on? I can see it's a Martinac.

  • Not sure, what I know it was fishing for a company based in Giap in the Federated States of Micronesia around 1997-1998 , the skipper a Croatian, the skiffman a Peruvian guy called Gordo Lucho send me this video

    Regards

  • anybody have any idea of where is daniela now and if Ray Fournier and Tomy are still fishing......

  • My friend was also on Daniela.

    Hi is from Croatia.

  • Wow!! Now that brings back some good memories. Thanks for posting this clip. I used to fish on the M.V. Lone Wolf with Tommy Zollezzi and Frank San Filipo. We used to make fun of the Matawmarfach name because we could'nt pronounce it right sometimes.
