actually the principle is way different....those guys are commercial fishing.... The longer those fish fight, the more acid built up in the Tuna's flesh.... That's why they gaff em, and tow em to cool them down before cleaning them.... Great lakes guys are in it for the fight....sport fishing.... If we wanted to just crank em in, guys would have the telephone poles and big reels from the old snagging days...
I agree that Tyler is a douche....Dave.com is a total type A personality...but he is a Hell of a Tuna Fisherman..... Dave Hard Merchandise really needs to restore that tub... My favorite boat has to be Hot Tuna.....relaxed Capt and a sweet ride....
