First time out that far and wanna do some more !! Just gets exspencive with a 2 stroke 225 merc sucking down the fuel ...and oil

It would be nice if there was more on angling technique. This is a tuna fishing soap opera not a fishing show. I still watch just to hear the reels sing.

It is in the contracts on the show that they do not show bait rigging etc.....

Exactly! So heavily edited. Why not tell us how long it really takes to land each fish? They make it seem like landing a fluke is more of a struggle. Hope they get off that "Dave is evil" theme already, it's getting very old. Deadliest Catch does it much better blending the personalities in with the actual fishing and also giving you good technical info along with it.

How about:
- how do they choose where to fish
- what does the rig look like
- what are they using for bait and how does it change over the course of the season
- what depth are they setting baits at
- what is going on with water depth?

Expieaance past & current info
Some use all mono , I used yo use Dacron , top shot mono
Aussie barrel , crimped to top shot other Dacron double core spliced looped to reel side of TS. TS can be all 250 to 300 # floro crimp hook
All crimps get chafing tube , I blackened all mine.
Fresh mack, herring , hake & any live bait you can add to the pot!
Changes w/ availability & season

Depends on location & bait readings
Don't know what you mean here! Water depth is where you go offshoe inshore etc,

Deepest I've hooked up 90' buy you can well below and above those depths!

Im watching this show now, I find most of these guys annoying, im jealous of the work they do, I dont like how every time they hook up they insert a fake drag singing noise in to make it more dramatic. That said, most shows on TV are awful, and this one's not so bad.
