Watching this was like being there- you know on a small fishing boat with a storm brewing.

I'm a fisherman myself so I really appreciated the underwater footage, seeing things I've never been able to see topside. My grandfather was a weir fishermen, a type of fishing that is quickly disappearing from the coasts of the world, but really one of the most environmentally sound ways to catch fish in the wild, without resorting to aquaculture.

Anyway I do think that fishermen and scientists both could get a lot from this, and even if you're just plain interested in maritime subjects. There's some great old footage in here too.

Loved it! This is just as good as their first one, Lobstering on the Benjo. Think Discovery Channel, overcast gunmetal skies, and sensual underwater scenes...

Who knew that squid and mackerel came from such funny looking contraptions?

We purchased this entire fishing set for our culinary school to show our chefs exactly where the fish they're preparing comes from. I looked around and could not find anything so specific in exploring the different fisheries as this one.

Weir Fishing, part 3 of the series, is my personal favorite, tying with the shellfishing documentary. My only reservation here is that we would have preferred DVD but the VHS worked for us too!
