Are these guys just using barbless hooks for bait..?

[kalidrus]

@creamtt No, they use live bait.

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. Crewmen will often thrash the water with long poles to add to the commotion.

@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.

@74tiger808 The catch reports are going down because of net fishing and other commercial fishing methods. This style of fishing is sustainable.

[74tiger808]

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
