Wicked Tuna tv show

[bigeasy1]

Anyone a fan of the Wicked Tuna tv show? I kinda got "hooked" on it.Normally I'm not a big fan of reality based shows,and I'm sure a lot of this show like the bad mouthing each other is semi scripted,but I try to look past that.

I like to watch the hits on the rod when line starts to scream off the reel.It reminds me a bit of my salmon trolling only on a much bigger scale.I guess all of us fishermen experience the same feeling when a reel starts screaming regardless if it's a 30 lb salmon,striper,kingfish,or a giant bluefin tuna.

I love when we're trolling and all the rods are out when all of a sudden one of the wire rods gets hit and it's tough to get it out of the rod holder.
During those moments of silence,when you're waiting for the hit is hard to explain to a non fisherman.
That's when I remember the scene from the movie "Patton" when he looked out at the battlefield and remarked on war and said,"God I love it so".

As far as the bad mouthing each other behind their backs,it's probably done to hype up the show a bit,but I'll admit that we do the same when were trying to outfish other boats,especially certain arrogant charter captains that we know.
