Story
In the Strait of Messina the sword fish hunters pursue their prey with a harpoon. This fascinating fishing technique dates back to the Phoenicians times and today it hardly survives in that strip of sea between Calabria and Sicily. Strange boats are used to hunt the sword fish: with a very high mast and a long gangway overhanging from the bow, they seem to defy the laws of physics. Some sequences aims to reconstruct the hunt in the 50s, when the sword fish was sighted from the coast and pursued in a rowing-boat. The "human" protagonists of this documentary are two crews: the first coming from Sicily and the second from Calabria. No prey escapes the Sicilian crew. On the contrary, the Calabrian one is not so lucky and no fish is hunted for several days. This will seriously endanger the family incomes. This particular fishing tradition doesn't endanger the environment and the species, as well as a predator fish cannot cause the extinction of its prey.
For all the people complaining about the size of the fish: THIS IS NOT A MARLIN, like the one you americans have in the ocean (they also live in deeper sea, not this near from the coast) but a different specie of swordfish that can be found in the Mediterranean sea. The size of that fish, considering its specie, it's perfectly fine, it's an adult not a baby.
guy looks like freddy mercury if he lived to be 60
4:00 sword fish boat to catch a swordfish lol
The production of this film is just amazing. I know it 's hard work to make it. Thank you for sharing.
It's dramatized... I promise you that it didn't happen this way.
Ikm
My friend John had a stick boat in california for years. Guys a fishing legend. I've seen him with dozens of swordfish unloading. A true seaman adventurer. Huge admiration for the free spirit.
...this sort of fishing seems inefficient. I would imagine they have to catch quiet a few to make a profit considering all folks in their crew.
they not scum bags, it's just a different method of fishing, and kills the fish quickly , but is not great to look at , I'm too a fisherman so it does feel crap to kill a fish, but sometimes you gotta make a living
Change your job and don't be a murderer!!
your living shouldn't be putting fish into extinction.
omg, shut up.
ONE FISH
rickard, it's not just one fish.... many people do it and I'm sure a crew/boat that big kills a lot more than just one fish...
usually, the ones bitching live here in North America or the most developed European countries... not everyone has limitless supply of food choices that hop in a car go to Costco or Tesco....
Gus Dagher idk man I'm in America and I'd rather do it this way this is badass 😂😂😂
Hi
So true
Yes but we all have 300,000. Dollar's to go fishing for something free..lmao
cool part is that the boat looks like a marlin
ganja man tfc
All that and the fish isnt even a marker. No purple gladiator, a baby sword. Lol
No it's not a baby. It's a different species from the ones found in Mexico and us. Ita a Tetrapturus belone, not a Makaira nigricans. Don't be so ignorant
Swordfishing in a leather jacket. 😂😂😂
Fantastico! =)
What did he say at the end 😂😂 banana??
Johan Carmona lol that's hell truth
at the end he says "Bagnara Calabra" , or rather Bagnara fishing town !!!!!
Hahaha
Amazing skill!
What an ironic death for the SPEARFISH.
3:40 when your phone's about to die
it's not murder, put yourself in their shoes and try to make a living, you can't just change your way to provide for you family on a dime, if they are either selling it or eating it there is no problem quit overreacting
there is no such thing as murder if you kill an animal
you're an idiot. Just because they're selling or eating it desist mean there's no problem. there's a huge problem and it's called over-fishing which is putting many species of fish to extinction. these people need to find another job, because them having a "living" isn't worth the extinction of entire species...
thousands of species of fish are now critically endangered because of over-fishing.
Thomas I am aware of that because I love fishing and the outdoors but you cannot expect them to not provide for their family, put yourself in their shoes, and quit being such a fucking tree hugger, and get your facts straight about the endangered species, if it was that bad they would be illegal to catch and wouldn't be as widely fished so you can go fuck yourself then get back with me on your ne opinion you liberal fucktard
james, you've been upgraded to dumbass. I love fishing, that's why I want to conserve it... it's not that easy about just making fishing of certain species of fish illegal to fish because they're endangered. look at bluefin tuna, they're nber has dropped dramatically since the 50's yet people can still fish for them, depleting their numbers even more. another example would be sharks. 64 species of sharks are endangered mainly because of over-fishing with most of it being illegal poaching of finning the sharks...
again, no one's living is worth more than an entire species...
I love the environment and want to stop species from going extinct, so I don't get why you insult me with an asinine comment like "tree hugger" as I'm not talking about plants in any way...
and please tell me, where are my facts not straight of over-fishing?
+azn, so you support over-fishing?
That seemed like such a breeze compared to hook and line fishing that thing outta the water.
you know they worked so hard for that fish
I wonder if anyone was able to afford it.
Kendall Davis it was only 3 feet
if that music doesnt make you uncomfortable idk what does...

@@lynxx5800being illiterate and coming here to read would be a problem. 😎
Its insane
way better than long liners..
Definitely not a rough water friendly set up.
No, that's why they fish near the coast in the Mediterranean
So, aperantly trying to support your family is bad??🤔🤔
Wow! Looks like a lot of patience and hard work.

human power!!
Best
very traditional...
Great shot even though he got dressed fo the ball just for the video
This is a sustainable fishing method
vegan people would be like....
at least theyre going out and doing the dirty work themselves unlike most people just buying them,.
personally i think its an awesome way to catch the big fish,atleast they are eating what they catch,not just taking fins and dumping the rest over board!!
Good working
But why the blood look so pink
So the fish looks like the boat
basically a swordboat to catch swordfish
"Que"
Im I Spanish yet?
Wow i spot rainbow!
aimbot?
Marlin??? Is the PISCI SPADA.
Wtf why does the boat have this tall crain thing on it.
Ramauld Ramharack to have a good look on the water, they can spot swordfish from there
NOOOOO MY DREAMS OF UNICORNS
Headshot
The real AquaMan hunt.
this is my home Messina Sicily
Protect fishing
Those 2K ppl that dislikes are just bunch of Vegans
來台灣買就好了！
Hi
Now that was cool. You all.know killing a fish for people to eat and put money in your pocket for your family is no different than killing cows, pigs or chickens. That swordfish lived a free life. It went anywhere it wanted, it's only barrier was where the water meet dry land. The boat should have been named Neptune.
If u dont want to waste your time jump to 4:00
God bless u
not the best way to die
Not the worst either.
It wasn't the cleanest and it's also pretty dangerous to have any of the fish with bills on a boat while it's still kicking. Large halibut (60-80kg) need to be shot or killed by other means before they're landed.
Heh, just made me wonder why the put the full documentary for a fee when the ending editing was a little... time wasting? Kinda like the Bollywood style or a way 1920 style of movie
Great fishing...
viva l'italiaaaa
Hola
Bigfish
just borrowed from posiedon.
This is so backwoods fishing
Hahaha
Id like to see this boat in a good swell
It was Paul Newman
Sad. That's a small marlin you got !!
Its a swordfish;)
That is not a Marlin, that is a mediterranean swordfish, different species
That’s not how it’s usally done but ok
Who says that's not how you do it? That's TRADITIONAL Italian fishing. Probably since the Phoenicians were around was done that way. How can you say that's the wrong way, that's only a different style of fishing, that's all.
מה הם עושים???????????????
hurts bad
it look like oil rig.

Subir nesta torre de vigia, bom ter um cinto de segurança, preso por corda e através de roudana, que controle a subida, pois o mal súbito pode ocorrer, ao final do dia a família lhe espera ,agora está pontaria è demais.

Like india movie =))))
Migue RD estabacano
Figo
500 dolar mil fish
OWWW WHY
That was a baby sword. Why would they kill a baby?
Because that's not a baby. The marlin is not the only species of swordfish out there. That is a mediterranean swordfish Tetrapturus belone, not a Marlin, Makaira nigricans.
He didn’t spear nuen off that tip
