As much as all of us want as much information and details as the next guy, you can't fault the cast for being cautious with what information airs on the program. One day Wicked Tuna will no longer be but all the boats involved will still be chasing tuna for a living. Not sure what the Captain and crews cut is from the show but I would think they make more money from their chosen profession than what the show contributes to their 1040. None of us in the same situation would risk the tricks of the trade for a lesser pay day on something which will probably be gone in a few years.

There's probably no more secretive fishery in existence than blue fin tuna fishing and while like everyone else I'd like to know more details about how and where they fish, I'm not holding my breathe.

Hope season two is a good one but in the absence of details which won't be volunteered, I would guess the story line will be similar to last year. Still not bad to get your fix during the winter months when we're all going through cabin fever and some form of withdrawal!

I watched and I wish that they wouldn't put in all the drama . Bring in some Young Guns to stir the pot to get better ratings . Leave the drama at the dock and just go fishing ! Also even though the clicker sounds are anoying it tells the helmsman that the fish is taking line without anyone saying a word .

Noticed that some of the boats were using newer reels but could determine the make - look like maybe oversized Avets or Canyons???? Anyone know what the reels were


Last seasons they all had Penn Internationals - this seasons something new

I think that they have Reel Venders sending them free stuff to playtest for exposure . I saw a smaller Avet on one of the bait rods . I think that there are more 2 speed Internationals this year . We do it all the time to get our product out there in Movies/Tv Shows .

Ah, don't get caught up in that. I'm sure the producers script it and prod the guys to get into it. At least they are giving fight times now.

AWESOME FIRST EPISODE !

I hope some one beats the $#!T out of the New Hampshire Idiots.
by the look of the previews someone slaps him up a bit.

Normally I root against the people from Boston. but these idiots are red sox fans anyway.
LOL

Hope Dave and Marciano are the top 2 boats again.

Penn Internationals, Shimano Tiagra and Marciano had a bunch of new Accurate reels, they are great reels but expensive, I'm sure most of this stuff is donated for exposure.
