Title: New TV series...
Post by: Aiala on May 26, 2021, 06:56:04 PM
Netflix just posted a new original series: "BATTLEFISH"! :D

I haven't watched any yet, it's about albacore fishing off the coast of Oregon. I guess I'll give it a try, if for no other reason than to see someone catch an albacore (something I haven't done since August of '86)... ::)

Aiala,

I too will check out BATTLEFISH for sure.

If you have access to OUTDOOR CHANNEL, I enjoy watching - THE FISH MONGER

The show highlights San Diego Fishing along with specialty cuts of fish and how to enjoy them.

Will it be a "reality" type of series? You know, with all the scripted drama and competition? Not that I wouldn't watch it, but like that Bluefin series; Wicked Tuna, prolly limit my viewing time. Last time for me was '93, but that was commercial offa the Wa. coast.

I have watched a few episodes.  It's certainly more entertaining than daytime TV.

That Battlefish series has been around for a few seasons.  It is :
cool because:
It's fishing.
Big difference in the approaches - it is all "hook and line"  but you have older "old school" type boats and then you also have the new school "?OppoTunity" that is basicallly a hopped up sportfisher that is fishing commercially.  Cool show.  And speaking as a SoCal boy - Albacore ARE just a myth right?  You know, like Bigfoot and Unicorns?
