Another reason for me to "strongly dislike" this guy.

I can not imagine what Pt. Pleasant, Pt. Judith, and Gloucester will look like if all this gets pushed through the pipe.

Wow... Us little people who pay all the taxes take it in the shorts again from the very people who were elected and sworn to protect our interests. SCREW THEM!!

This government of ours is getting way too big and involved in legislating in areas where they have no expertise and in many where they don't belong. They are becoming way too powerful yet seem to have no accountability to their consstituants.

Time to take back our country.

What happened to the Wicked Tuna topic? Fisheries management screws everything up.

Your rite Dave.. lets get back to the topic!!

So the Bounty Hunter mate says he's worried about the charter guys who are inexperienced and losing a big fish and costing him money... I get it... but why then are you taking a group of guys who are paying for your charter? Not something you should be saying publicly on TV. Now Capt Bill s saying the same thing.........AND then they lose a nice tuna by themselves w/o a charter????

I was just fishing in Mexico on a charter and something similar to this happened to me. I was pulling up a big grouper and the captain thought I was just an inexperienced fisherman struggling with a small fish on. It wasn't until the slob started to surface and he knew it was nice money in his pocket that he stopped laughing at me and took it seriously. We landed it, then when the line dropped back down to the bottom, we hooked up again and the mate tried to set the hook without setting the drag properly and the leader snapped. Now I know the market for grouper and bluefin tuna are drastically different the principle here is the same. Fishing is fishing and not catching, no matter the experience level lost fish is part of fishing and can happen to anyone.
With that said, I feel that when you book a charter the captain and crew have an obligation to the experience of the customer and any fish caught that can be sold is an added bonus. You can't have your fish cake and eat it too.

Sorry for the rant guys, love the show and happy the Tuna.com isn't portrayed as the villains of the Massachusetts seas anymore, those Pin Wheel guys need to shut up and learn from the veterans instead of playing childish antics that make the fishing community as a whole look poorly.

No one is immuned to #'s poaching . It happens all the time offshore on Bottom trips . Some boats leave early to steal your spot from the prior days fishing . It's frustrating when you travel 60+ miles only to find someone on your spot . You just hope that there are othe pieces close . It's just part of fishing . Never leave port without a plan B and C .

I hear where your coming from. It's a TV show, they have to make it interesting. There trying to play actors, I wouldn't take it to heart. Makes it interesting.
