What's new is old. Same technique I remember seeing on films back in the 50's. Dolphin free tuna.
This looks fun as hell. Looks like they're using backtail jiggs. They need to market better.. safe dolfins, and no drift nets.
Recently saw some canned tuna in a food store, touting this method of catching. It was very expensive, about 6 bucks for a can of about 2 1/2 times the size of a Bumblebee can, which is a goodly amount of fish. I tried it. It tasted the same. I'd buy it again. They are also doing this in the Atlantic. Like Tumblebug says, "what's new is old." Well said.
My "response" above is a link to one of the older films mentioned. I'd love to do that :) Tenkara fishing for tuna could be the next big thing....
