Show is about Canadian Tuna fishing around Nova Scotia/P.E.I area.....similar to the way they fish on "Wicked Tuna"..
Apparently the "biggie" Tuna congregate there in late summer...
They are allowed one only fish per season.....(tag holder).
So far they've been bragging about what great fishermen they are and how the "guys down south' are just catching "bait".
They make the claim that 1500lb Tuna are often around (although no-one on the show has caught one anywhere near that yet)....and how you can make up to 30,000 dollars off one fish.
Which is odd...because.......
Of the Tuna they have caught so far, the price Canadian is way lower than what the USA Wicked Tuna guys get. One guy got 4 dollars a pound (Cdn. dollars) on the Canadian show.. The USA guys get paid in American dollars and seemed to get anywhere from 16 to 24 USA dollars per pound.
As far as I know the Tuna on both shows end up in Japan........so it looks like the Canadians get hosed price-wise.
No-one on the Canadian show has cracked 10,000 dollars......never mind 30,000 dollars.
In shows gone by the Wicked Tuna guys have caught quite a few "big" Tuna (over 500lbs.......some past shows they had 1100 lb'ers )........and they get paid well.
The guys on Wicked Tuna make more money than the "Catching Monsters" guys overall.......so I don't know what the Canucks are tooting their horns about.....
Still a good fishing show to watch though........
