they dont have to unhook the fish because the hooks have no barbs on them to get caught in their mouths.
13 weeks for 300 T Mix Jack,albacore and Ahi
@tunaseiners we’re still doing it right here in American waters on the Pacific Ocean. We get albacore that way, and you’re right on about it being a sustainable practice
non pescate.
Tuna are so interesting as are the fishers who chase them. Yes the method of pole and line though not used as much in the “industrial” age also is much cleaner with less bycatch of sea turtles and other animals, and a good high-quality product for high end market, whereas longlining for example should use C-hooks to reduce indirect bycatch, and the net fisheries are just fishing so much mostly for canneries, low-value. Cool video, thanks.
But have to add that despite pole and line being “better” and cleaner etc., the mentality of “up to armpits in tuna” seems universal, no… kinda the same mentality that drove stocks way down and some critically, mostly from the industrial tuna fisheries but its still a universal attitude of an “endless sea” of fish, especially in those days, that this film depicts. So interesting
do they actually kill the sharks?
those were the days….
did he say tuna? …this will be a film in a museum in a few years… fishing like this will never occur again. In 40years we’ve almost wiped out fish stocks. People need to learn to live in harmony with the natural environment.
Man, these dudes would bench press a house!!!
Thanks a lot fellas. Now there’s next to nothing left.
Great piece of historical footage. Unfortunately we did understand anything about sustainable fishing, in fact we still don’t.
It’s no wonder that tuna have almost all but vanished from our seas.
What type of Tuna are these?
What a great educational video. We fish for Barramundi with poles in North Queensland. Just dangle a live bait over a snag, feel the barra and then just pull him in in one go.
They should make all tuna fisherman pole like this maybe for one year every five and they can use nets the other four years. This would give the tuna populations a chance to recover. There’s enough canned tuna in the world to last, surely!!!!
This video is quite old, now the seas are not that good…the population of tuna has decreased in a really high percentage in the last 20 years…must watch the documentary The end of the line…
wish I could do this nowadays…
fishing for anything should be done by spearfishing, rod fishing and cast netting, not this long line and gillnet bs that is driving fish stocks close to extinction

The fuck man why shoot a shark it’s just trying to get its dinner which those SEMEN are taking from it.
Damn good, my old man used to do this, took me on my first trip on the Kitty Hawk owned by Mr. vattuone, was a bait boat converted into a seiner, those bait guys had alot of balls.
