Googans Everywhere!!

Re: wicked tuna season 2
 

I was trying to watch two shows at once, googans everywhere on one channel, walking dead everywhere on the other tv channel!! Not sure what is worse!!!

Re: wicked tuna season 2
 

I was doing the same thing.. Walking dead and Wicked Tuna

Re: wicked tuna season 2
 

I wonder how those guys would react to getting a fish or anchor line cut off by another boat without the cameras there. Something tells me it might be a bit different.

Like him or not, nice job by that kid landing the fish solo. Deserves props. Did his crew quit on him?

The pranking should be a side bar, like on Deadliest Catch, not the main theme of the night. Guess you can blame the lack of fish for that. Would have rather they focused more time on Tyler's solo fish, way more interesting.

The cut bait in the pole holders is a classic.. Within a day the smell is out of control.. lol.. Another good one is to put bait on the deck so all the birds land and eat and crap everywhere.. lol

They did not say where tylers crew was.. I know in the last one he said if they did not get in the water to cut the line out of the prop that he was going to leave them at the dock.. so maybe it was bc of that.. Fishing solo for them is a little Scary.. a lot can go wrong fast... I know it can be done but much easier with a crew

Re: wicked tuna season 2
 

If you listen to him in the cockpit on deck that day, he said they worked so hard lately he gave them a week off but he was not going to stop fishing.

and i would have to assume we are not seeing many shots of tuna.com because it seems he is getting on the boat early and leaving late so i am thinking he might have charters to full fill while filming?

Re: wicked tuna season 2
 

oh.. so maybe tyler gave em some time off.. I hope he didnt ditch his crew.. seemed like good guys who worked hard.. and the one even had his back when Ralph pushed him to the ground.. They have shown the boats out on a charter so idk why they would not show it again.. who knows..

Re: wicked tuna season 2
 

Yea, but it's a + in the ledger, not a -...bait 'n fuel for another tuna search...don't forget Marciano did it last year & they got a fish..the charter guys each got a turn,a shirt and a major memory...they seemed most appreciative for crankin' the handle...
Bill puts too much onus on the charter to "keep it tight" & "they don't know"!!!Didn't look like it to me..seemed like the charter was doing a pretty good job...
Question for Dave(Tuna.Com)...I know it'd take longer to get the fish to the harpoon and it would probably fetch less at the buyer, but wouldn't easing off on the drag help improve the catch/pulled hook ratio? Don't really know what it is, but from the show, it seems pretty bad... Drags set at 50-60#? Bluefin's mouth isn't iron plus the fish's inherent weight generates a lot of preloaded drag, or not?

inquiring minds would like to know;)

Re: wicked tuna season 2 - my thoughts - possible striper show?
 

1. Tyler gave his crew the week off
2. Putting the truck up on blocks was pretty good
3. The Bounty Hunter is great at catching shorts - but sucks at everything else
4. The googans will always be there - so deal with it...stop complaining
5. Tyler is the face of a new era of fisherman. Hard core, young and brash!
6. Tuna.com is still my favorite. Sandro knows his way around that boat and that other mate (forgot his name - think it's Paul) is a hoot!

Good show but too much drama and not enough fishing!
I want to see techniques, rigs, rods, etc.

- Someone should pitch a a show about the Spring Striper run and charter boat captains. More catching, more aciton and less drama.

It's always easier to blame someone else for your ineptness . Googans fit the bill . It's one thing when one runs over your anchor line . It's another when there isn't a boat in the direction the fish is pulling . Stop um or pop um mantality takes it's toll . Break the fishes will or break your tackle . I'de rather lose them early than have them fall off at color. We didn't start landing the 100+lb BFT until we put the WOOD to them . Too bad we don't target them anymore . I miss the Bacardi and Texas Tower . Thank you Goverment .
