    • @gary7708
      @gary7708 Před 8 měsíci

      @@twentytwo138 While I agree that intentional sportfishing is not good, we need to remember that many times a fish is caught out of season, too small, or prohibited. Perhaps it would be better to have fishermen attend a class that teaches how to properly release a fish without killing it. I know that some places require boats to have a "Descender" device on the boat. This lets a fish go back down to a level where it has a good chance of survival before automatically releasing it. This saves many fish, but I doubt all fishermen use it for fish they don't consider valuable. We can also remember, that every dead fish becomes food for another soon enough, so while it is a sad, and avoidable situation, it isn't a total loss to the ecopsystem. The worse loss is bring fish home, letting it sit in the freezer, and then throwing it out a year later because you didn't eat it. 😕

    A good view from undersea...
    I always fishing from the boat and saw this feeding frenzy many times. One incident when I hooked a bonito reeling in a few metres from the boat then coming from underneath at an instant and great speed a huge marlin probably 4 metre in length pinned it and hauled the bonito on its nose 2mtrs above the water. I lost the bonito with the marlin..
    Wish I caught that rare moment on cam to show it here...

  • @fialee8
    @fialee8 Před 3 lety +16

    Based on all these BBC videos, this small fish swarming tactic maybe works out 1 out of a million times. If anything, they would be better off breaking off into 10 or 20 smaller groups and making a break for it in all directions. Sure, two or three smaller pods may not make it, but most of them will escape.

      @fialee8 Před rokem +2

      @@juniperburton7693 Three things come to mind: 1) small fish have short lifespans and typically cannot escape once caught (so they can't learn); 2) the ones that do learn to escape, aren't on the video; and 3) also, animal documentaries are almost always staged in some form since you can't have a camera crew on 24/7 cruising around to find an instance in the vast oceans, jungle, or desert.
