    Default Feeding giant crapp... well actually bluefin tuna.


    I know these aren't crappies, but this video is awesome. Made by friends in PEI Canada who are professional tuna fishermen. Some of them are over 1000 lbs.

    Way cool, I would have had to drop a hook. Those can sell for upwards of $25,000 each. Sushimi grade bluefin is nearly as valuable as gold.

    That's true. My friends became quite wealthy between the tuna and lobster over the years, but the Canadian Gov. is becoming so restrictive that it's nearly impossible for the pros to make a living anymore, plus the indians up there pretty much have free reign, and don't have to follow the same rules or pay the same fees, or follow quotas, especially with lobstering. They have 3 fishing boats that cost a quarter mil each and for each boat they have to pay 150k license fee per year to the Canadian Gov. They drop the quotas every year, plus the Japanese have pirate ships that take thousands of tons each every year driving the prices down and depleting the bluefin numbers. It's a rough business these days.

    Those fish are amazing though aren't they?
