※ This video is part of <Extreme Job - Tuna Fishing in the Philippines, Part 1-2> that aired from March 28 to 29, 2012. Extreme catch with bare hands, Tuna Hunters in the Philippines! General Santos, the largest tuna producing area in the Philippines, where 750 tons of tuna are caught every day! Here, there are tuna hunters who fight for a single fishing line with giant tuna weighing up to 100 kilograms. When you think of tuna fishing, everyone thinks of deep-sea fishing boats, but these hunters only have a pakura (one-person fishing boat) that can barely fit their entire body. Thanks to these people who stick to traditional fishing methods as if they have gone back in time, tuna from the Philippines is still highly regarded as the best tuna today. However, the process of catching a single tuna is by no means easy. During their one-month stay, they have to fight against numerous dangers on the sea. Strong waves, 40-degree heat, and even the threat of pirates! The road to full-scale fishing is long and arduous. We closely covered the entire process of tuna fishing in the Philippines, where they still adhere to traditional methods and risk their lives to catch giant tuna. - Over a thousand fish caught per day! The General Santos unloading dock is filled with fishermen carrying giant tuna weighing about 100 kilograms. However, catching even one tuna is not an easy task. Small-scale fishermen have to set out into the deep blue sea with boats that can barely accommodate three or four people. The small-scale fishermen set sail with small boats. After fighting the waves for days to find tuna, the guests who come to visit them are pirates! It is a moment when even the most veteran fishermen fall into fear! If they are caught by pirates, they could lose all their assets and even their lives could be in danger. The fishermen urgently turn their boats around and run away. After many twists and turns, they decide to return, but even that is difficult. As the pitch-black night approaches, a storm rages, and even the boats are causing trouble... - Fishermen who are determined to go out to sea again. They split up into micro-boats for one person and start fishing for tuna. This is a livelihood that they desperately want. After waiting for hours with their fishing lines, the tuna finally reacts and crosses the line, but the smart tuna quickly runs away... A second chance that comes without a moment to catch their breath! A strong signal comes to the hands of the young fishermen with their youthful faces! A lifelong fight over a single fishing line! In contrast to the anxious hearts of these fishermen, the General Santos port is crowded with tuna every day. Although they seem to be carrying 100 kilograms of tuna with ease, the fishermen's shaking legs tell us that it is hard physical labor. It is difficult to describe the tension they feel because the commercial value of expensive tuna decreases if they accidentally drop it. An old man is seen picking up stones (one of the bait materials for tuna) all day long on the riverbank near the port. Even though he is too old to catch tuna, he cannot bear to leave the sea, so he heads to the port today as well. ✔ Program name: Extreme Jobs - Tuna Fishing in the Philippines, Part 1-2 ✔ Broadcast date: 2012.03.28-29 #GolladunDocumentary #ExtremeJob #Sea #Fisherman #Philippines #Seafood #Fish #Fish #Raw Fish #Tuna #Life #Drama
