that drone shot of the sharks trying to steal the catch was epic!

Have you ever seen the real old timey (30s/40s) films of commercial tuna fishing?? They use huge 10-12ft long bamboo poles with no reels and only about 15-20ft of line. And the hooks have no barbs! They just hoist them (15-100lb fish) over their heads and the hook comes right out! Awesome to see if you haven't.

[@edshmedly1]

This brings back great memories for me Aaron. Back in the mid 90's I spent a lot of time in the Dry Tortugas fishing yellowtail.

Thanks for showing your followers and future followers a small piece of the enigma that commercial fishing industry is. I fished commercially for over ten years out of Stock island lobster. So many hours go into the final results. Some people think that you just get out on the water and ta dah! You catch anything you want to and just as many as you want then go back and sell it for the prices you want. It's one of the hardest jobs in the world. Yes sir I would love to get back out there doing it again just because the ocean is my happy place and I love love love the Job.

Very informative! Thanks! You're making a difference! Ohio State University Journalism 101: 1) Know your audience 2) Ask obvious question accordingly in the form of who, what, when, where, how & why. Fishermen/women are your targeted audience who want to know where is your location, how far off from shore, why the location was chosen, can you count on it daily, what is the fish food being used, cost, what kind of pole, hook size, bait on hook, are yellowtail the only targeted species, are all size fish mixed up in one spot, could you cast further to get the bigger yellowtail who are smarter & cautious, when do you quit, expenses that offset potential profit, etc. WHAT YOU HAVE INVESTIGATED IS INFORMATIVE, BUT MAXIMIZE YOUR TIME WITH PREPAREDNESS THAT GOES BEYOND FILLER CHIT-CHAT. THE GUYS ARE BEARING DOWN ON THEIR WORK, SO SHOULD YOU TO THE SAME DEGREE. NONETHLESS, YOU DID OKAY, BUT NEED TO HIT THE BULLSEYE WITH PREPAREDNESS & APPREHENDING AUDIENCE QUESTIONS. YOU WILL INCREASE YOUR SUBSCRIBERSHIP ACCORDINGLY.

Nice going. I lived in the Virgin Islands for a few years. I had a trick to get a yellow tail every time I went out inshore fishing. I used a floating Yozuri crystal minnow. Dark. Rattle. I had a small skiff. Troll around the rocks. Slow. 100’ of line out. As the lure just passes the rocks it’s fish on. I could catch 10 and sell or give away 7. The kingfish were fun. Mahi Mahi and tuna were a common catch. It was fun for too long.
