    A few years ago, I'd seen them doing this up at Morro Bay for albies.

    that last vid reminds me of the tuna pens off ensenada
    (& may very well be )
    although it looks like that vid was in italy somewhere

    i remeber when the excel out of S.D. run into & on top of the tuna pens , when they finally were pulled from the pens the

    " big question was posed " DID YOU CATCH ANY BLUFIN ???

    I HAVE WATCHED THEM FEED THE TUNA IN THE PENS IT IS AMAZING SCENE TO WATCH THE PEN LITERALLY ERUPTS LIKE A VOLCANO

    JDP,,,right you are Sir. That was in the Mediterranean. Not long ago, when the big Bluefin
    were plentiful, they used to just net them and do their business in the net. Now the Bluefin
    are smaller so they put them in holding pens until they fatten up then they do their blood
    bath later.

    Wow, that Flickr slide show is incredible. I wonder what kind of shot that guy was using to kill the tuna. Buckshot seems like it would do too much damage to the meat. But bird shot seems like it would leave a bunch of pellets left in the meat. Never seen that before, pretty eye opening.

    Nope, that's William Conrad, famous Radio and TV Star. Died in 1994.
