Coast Guard to the Rescue

Grassflatsfisher · 08-07-2008, 01:43 AM

A buddy of mine sent this link to me. It's to a fishing forum on the West Coast.

The story is unbelievable. They have pics to prove it happened. That would be one long long day on the water. Good learning experience just in case you ever get caught in a similar situation.

Takes some real salty seamen to blunder into a marked tuna pen being towed a few hundred feet behind a big fishing vessel. Good watch keeping.

I recently saw a show on Discovery Channel called "Tuna Wranglers" which was a documentary on Tuna fisherman off of the coast of Australia. It discussed and showed the tuna pens described in that story. When sharks enter the tuna pens, divers jump in and wrestle the sharks out of the pen. It was pretty interesting. Keep an eye out for it to show again.
