New Show, Wicked Tuna, on Nat Geo, Tonight

[fisheyed]

My Gf and I play a drinking game with swamp people, we drink any time they say shoot em. We tried to drink for subtitles but it got a little out of hand. The tuna show is pretty good. One guy flat out lies on the water but seems to be the best fisherman. I don't blame him. When your talking big money I would too.

That's brilliant! We used to play drinking games to The Police' "Roxanne."

One team drinks for every "Roxanne" and the other drinks for every, "Put on the red light"..

Have you ever met a fisherman that didn't lie?

Actually there's a bunch here that might streeeeeeetch the truth a little on occasion, but 99.9% of what they say is true.

Kate & I saw Wicked Tuna over the weekend, and I only have one criticism: It's not that believable and is kind of unrealistic. I mean, how often do fishermen radio bogus numbers to one another to send others on wild goose chases? Also, I have a hard time believing that despite a lot of water, other boats will get so close to one another as to snag an anchor. I mean this stuff never happens on the bay, right??

But seriously folks, I was in hog heaven watching this over the weekend, and some things in the water I guess are universal. I like deadliest Catch well enough, but I can relate more to Wicked Tuna since these guys are hook and liners. I also liked the way that they address and discuss the conservation aspect of these threatened bluefin tuna.

I have my DVR set up to record Wicked Tuna in case I miss an episode.
