Old School Tuna fishing video - 1940's
 

No purse seiners, no longlines, no spotter planes, no side scan sonar. Only bamboo rods and live bait. Granted, I don't like to see so many fish taken, but at least they are using rods...

Most tackle shops carry the full-length videos (A tribute to tuna). It is a 2-video set with both parts 1 & 2. In spite of methods somewhat less advanced than what factory ships employ today, it still states they were taking 80 tons per day.

Our tackle shops don't have the fancy pants stuff you guys have in Flori-der. :rolleyes:

That's ok, the shops in FL don't have much snow so that makes us even right? [img]/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Now that you are a Florida resident over 40 (or was it 50?), have you purchased a leisure suit and white pleather shoes? :o

Down here, retirees wear walking shorts with black hosiery socks and dress shoes, with the socks held up by garters. Only retirees who live up north wear leisure suits. :cool:

Yep, we have alot of "gray hairs" in sunny Florida - sorry guys :eek: Down here they drive with their turn signals blinking all the way down the road. Thank the Lord most don't boat........... :o

Re: Old School Tuna fishing video - 1940's
 

I thought the ones with their signals on were just the standard snowbirds not knowing where the heck they were going . The few that do boat are more than enough!
