Discovery Channel Show on Swordfishing

[James80]

Six happy, seven sad

Six happy, eight sad

"like fingers on your hand, plus one"

The second show was a hit with me, Showed much more fish in this epesode, Still waiting for Chomper to lose his cool, although we saw a little of it. He will steal the show and blow his mind. He seemed to be a little short tempered. No place to be an idiot in swells and rough weather with a pissed off captain. 6 Happy 7 sad 6 Happy 7 sad too funny..... most people have 4 fingers not 5 maybe thats his mistake. he forgot he had a thumb in there? LOLOLOL

Sorry here guys. Long Lining pisses me off, I have seen what they do. Long Lining sword makes no sense to me. Swordfish bring 100 times more money from the Sport Fisherman. Plus Sport Fisherman don't kill everything that swims.

Long Liners will kill nearly every Swordfish plus tons and tons of by catch in just a few short years if given the chance. This is not a maybe this is a fact. THEY HAVE DONE IT BEFORE.

Why let them kill the resource AGAIN so only a few can prosper ?

God giveth and God taketh..it's a friggin reality TV show..that's about what they want you to see. Whatever motivation is behind this show will surely come to the surface..my guess it won't last the season or Greenpeace will start a new series.."LongLine Wars".

I have a feeling these guys are being set up too.

Scotty Drabinowicz works closely with Molly Luftcage at UNH in tagging.

Has anyone noticed that Linda Greenlaw, 10 years out of the game, is out there in a brokendown old boat that came out of drydock to go out on this "adventure", and she mentioned she pulled these guys away from full time jobs? Meanwhile Drabinowicz can make a call on the way into a port where probably 100 people total live and pull a true sworder off of dryland in the middle of the season.

I think maybe she was brought in to add some "celebrity" and "adventure" to what is being billed as a true reality show. If you call central casting to add some cache to your line-up aren't you no longer a true reality show?

Too much whining, too much fake drama, a weak sister to the Deadiest Catch, IMO...

[On The Edge]

Gotta Agree With mark. So far it has fallen far short of my expectations. Still Cool to see all the swords. Besides it's a shit load better then crap like "Big Brother", "Survivor", or "American Idol"

They have a hard time with this show comparing to Deadliest catch. Seas here are 6-10 ft. Seas on DC, 30-60 ft.

[CindyLou]

No comparison to Deadliest Catch really, but I think it's interesting due to the local connections. I'll continue to watch and root for Chompers to finish last.
