Ode to the Harpoon Fishermen

Harpooning tuna is a venture of craft and grit, leveling the playing field between hunter and prey. It requires patience, expert boating skills, fishing prowess, and a healthy dose of hand-eye coordination.
Once harpooned, the fish rapidly emptied a basket with 600’ of line and a buoy. Today, when a fish is hit, a 1000 Watts of electricity travels through a wire-core line, instantaneously immobilizing the tuna. The result is a premium-grade product free of lactic acid buildup and zero bycatch. Once a booming industry, the craft is declining to more conventional and easier means.
But for Tyler, the thrill of the hunt keeps him coming after decades of experience-when favorable conditions usher him oceanward, a keen eye on the horizon, the slightest sight of a cresting fin igniting his primitive drive.
