I’ve DONE THIS!! I did it on a small fishing boat in the Maldives. No reels, just line as long as the fibreglass pole, and a home made hook made from a nail. Very selective method of fishing – quick and tidy – nothing like the indiscriminate killing of unwanted species in nets.

Sad to know that the population of tuna is down by 90%. The U.S. did propose a ban yet Japan and other key EU nations put a ban on it. I wonder what thier excuse will be once these fish are gone.

really, if, as a society, you disregard the needs of the individuals in your society itself, by undermining these as insignificant and base needs, thus ignoring them, then no matter how ‘humane’ your fishing methods are portrayed to be, most likely, as an economy of that same society, the economic efforts will reflect the basic personality of that same society, namely cruel and inconsiderate. IMHO….

That’s great they were able to implement a more selective and less destructive fishing method. An example that could be followed in many fisheries around the world. Awesome footage.

This is a far the better way to help sustain stocks! Even one step better is rod and reel no polling. I have preached this for years as it is more sustainable, target species specific and allows the smaller local family fishermen to compete more fairly.
I catch smoke and eat all my own tuna for the year . I never buy netted or longlined.
