How on earth can there be a reality TV show about catching tuna be so intriguing. And, for 7 seasons!!!!!!!! Terrible.

Wicked tuna is a fantastic show that can be enjoyed by all the family with or without prior fishing knowledge! I have never been fishing myself so did wonder if I would enjoy this program but boy was I wrong! It caters for everyone, the wonderful fishermen explain everything they are doing and why and you really feel involved with life on their boats! They are very hard working men (and the odd woman) and you get emotionally attached to your favourite crews, personally I am always rooting for Hard Merchandise, Dave is a fantastic captain. I have watched all but one series and have enjoyed every single one and cannot wait for the next one. I have watched the North vs South series but do not enjoy them as much as I like to follow the original fishing boats.

I love Wicked Tuna!!! My ultimate favorite show. It has drama, action, comedy, and adventure. Its for the whole family, and its enjoyable to watch with a tub of popcorn. Very thrilling show and cast members. I love Season 6, my favorite. Superb cast members. I can relate to each and every boat. I love Captain Paul Hebert, Captain Dave Marciano, Captain Brad Krasowski, Captain Tyler McLaughlin, and Captain TJ Ott. However, my ultimate favorite Captain is Paul Hebert, I love his laughs - I love Paulie, (spoiler alert) because he's always saying "that's a big bastard". I love everything about the show. There is never ever a dull season, or a dull episode. All the episodes are fun and exciting to watch. I highly recommend this show to everyone, the kids will love the action pack scenes. My kids love Wicked Tuna. It is so awesome the show continues to succeed, because I want to see a lot more seasons in the future. I don't want to see Wicked Tuna end. It's a show I will never get bored of watching. I love the competition, and it breaks my heart when the season isn't as the Captain expects it to be. The hardships of fishing and to keep everything positive is not an easy task. Ultimately hands down, I love everything about the show. 10 Stars

I've followed along with every season of Wicked Tuna thus far, and it's a decent show. Of course, we are all aware that bluefin tuna is notoriously overfished and its populations are dwindling, but watching this show, you get to learn a lot about the fisheries and the hardships that these fishermen have to go through in order to make a living. It's an eye-opener to a different kind of community, and it's entertaining and emotional for viewers who are foreign to this kind of environment.National Geographic also does a good job of turning the bluefin fishing into a sort of competition, which kind of pulls audiences in to see how each fishing vessel does by the end of the season. Sometimes, you've got good catches, and other times you fail miserably. It helps quantify the swing of good and bad luck that these fisherman face with each season.There is obviously a lot of talk about overfishing bluefin and why National Geographic chose to air a show that is about depleting bluefin stock. However, there are regulations for bluefin tuna fishing, and as long as these regulations are met, I don't see why people are complaining about it. The fisherman are doing it for a living, and National Geographic decided to tag along and enjoy the ride. I say it was a good decision to focus on working-class people for once and give them some of the spotlight. Overall, I find this show to be amusing because of the competition and the different wildlife that these fishermen encounter on a regular basis. It's a good show, and you definitely feel for the captains and their families if they have a bad year.
