Thanks for the consice reply Pedro!! You are right on also about the two hour VS two day fish!! Fishing buddy in Fla. commands higher price for his grouper because his fish are handled properly and only hours old when delivered to the wholesaler.

Started a post about marcianos reel. Didn't see that it was on this post. Anyway. I saw that. Lol

Re: wicked tuna season 2
 

Calling it a "fishing soap opera " really nailed it. Is there some financial network bonus at series end for the most / biggest fish or are these guys just all about how great they are. Can't say I miss Paul either. Though there is still a lot of sensoring going on, It sounded like I was watching a fleet of garbage trucks backing up last season. My advice to any whiner is "Shut up and fish !"

I think Pin Wheel is going to put up some nice numbers this season! He is driven and has the heart for it.. He is a die hard fishermen.. But we all know that Tuna.com is the Champ!!

And to the Boat Christina and the other harpoon boats.. your all chumps! Need a plane to find the fish then u just drive up on em and spike them in the back... Thats Weak in my book! Rod and Reel should be the only way..

Good to see Paul, Dave and Sandros fishing together again in 2nd show. These guys have some chemistry.

I have a new found respect for Pin Wheel now too... Kid's got game risking it going out the the Banks... No risk, no reward but you have to balance it.... At the end of the day it's not how much you make, it's how much you keep...

Heading up to fish with Dave and the crew in June and hoping he doesn't take us out to the Banks. Getting too old (and smart) for those long trips :)

Right on Pete..last year they mentioned it once...every once in a while they show a mate using a light rig but never say anything about it anymore...we know but the general population doesn't...oh, well........

Fishing live bait is the way to go.. You will see every time they are jigging or bait fishing for ling,hake,cod,herring,macks... Put them out there and a giant sees it.. Cant resist! or so you hope soo. haha

Chuckie ,People Forget that Not so long ago we used to set up inshore a little and catch Bluefin when the Yellowfin didn't want to play . We still use livies when we can get them for Yellowfin . I keep looking at the pic of my little 85 lber that I caught some 12-14 years ago . You and John put a hurting on the Yellowfin that trip . Even Todd Burger got um ! We finally get it wired and start to catch them up to 200lbs then we get shut down/limited to 1 over/1under by our Goverment .

Pete, Wait till you see what YOUR PRESIDENT has instore for you. It's all about zones.

Re: wicked tuna season 2
 

A lot of scene switching on this show between reels and sounders, definitely not telling everything about how they catch, which is fine.
