Guest Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 Awesome video Cal. Look how poorly they were treated compared to today. Bruised...in the sun....not bled.....what a waste! glad times have changed with regard to appreciating the tuna's great culinary qualities. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

moppa 1 Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 BRINGS BACK SOME GREAT MEMORIES. HOURS OF BOREDOM LOOKING FOR TUNA THEN HOURS OF SHEER ACHES AND PAIN POLING TUNA. THE WORST WAS WHEN THE TUNA WERE TOO BIG TO SINGLE POLE AND TOO SMALL TO DOUBLE POLE. THE SKIPPER OF COURSE WOULD WANT US TO SINGLE POLE. TUNA FISHED IN THE EARLY 70'S. RECOGNISE SOME OF THE BLOKES IN THE VIDEO. ALDO WAS THE SKIPPER IN THIS ONE. MILLIONAIRES ONE WEEK . PAUPERS THE NEXT. Cal 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rotare 491 Posted March 26, 2015 Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 That looks back breaking work! With hooks flicking through the air, gaffs flying and the risk of falling overboard I wonder how many injuries these guys end up with after a trip. How's those automatic lifters / fishing rods! Need a couple of those on my own boat Quote Link to post Share on other sites
