Discovery Channel's new show Fighting Tuna has successfully portrayed Cape Cod tuna fishing and fishermen in an accurate manner that is informative, educational and entertaining.
The show features 4 captains who are all dead set on hooking and landing fish that can fetch as much as $20,000 per fish.. Of course the one thing Cape Cod fishing is notorious about-the weather-is keeping everyone stuck on the docks during a late October bite.
Cape Cod tuna fishermen fish from relatively small boats, especially considering how dangerous, windy and rough fishing hot spots like Stellwagen Bank, Cape Cod Bay and George’s Bank can become. If it is windy on land you can rest assured the wind is howling at George’s Bank-some 150 miles east of Cape Cod.
Waves in these areas reached heights of greater than 25 feet during Hurricane Sandy, which hit Cape Cod this past weekend.
The show begins with Paulie Stern, who has a reputation for catching big tunas and lots of them. He’s heading to Stellwagen Bank, one of the richest fishing gounds on the East Coast of the United States. Paulie is known as a “fish killing machine” who would “much rather be on ocean than on land.”
