Thread: Charlie Tuna, Shark Bait??

  1. #1

    Default Charlie Tuna, Shark Bait??

    I am having repeated nightmares after watching Roland Martin and gang motor out 100 miles to a Island off the S. California coast. Normally I don't watch Roland's show but he was going fishing for TUNA!!! OH BOY!
    I remember when I was young and I watched those crazy guys yanking big tuna on board, one after another. The show certainly started off good enough, Roland and the group started catching BIG 100 pound tuna and I thought, "This is COOL!" Well the fun came to a halt when the Great White SHARKS showed up to see what all the commotion was about.
    Fishermen started reeling in tuna that were chewed on, but it was ONE tuna and shark encounter that I can't get out of my mind. The guy has the 100 pound tuna near the boat and from out of nowhere a GW Shark comes to the surface like a trout to a dry fly and BITES OFF 50 pounds of tuna!!!
    Captain I signed up to catch tuna, nobody told me I was going to use them as BAIT!

    Having a completely irrational fear of sharks, I'd have messed my shorts and most likely passed out completely.
