I don't know how much of the show is true. I haven't seen it, and won't if I have to pay. Judging solely off of the bios of most of the people involved, and what PETA has to say about the film, my guess is very little is true in the way that it is presented to the viewer.
most bonnet head sharks live in bays or nearshore. I for one am an avid saltwater fisherman. I release what's not wanted and adhere to all fishing regulations. I don't fish for sport. I fish for groceries. let the hate posts begin
Well I fish the intercoastal waterway and little jetty's in Jacksonville. Lots of bonnetheads, lots.
Divers who are targeting deep water fishes often have equipment to bring the fish up slowly to avoid buoyancy issues that will kill deep water fishes if they are brought up too fast. Poking holes in valuable aquarium fishes is anti productive for fishes that are destined for sale to live fisheries. Dead fishes are not very valuable for live fisheries purposes.
I will say, cooked delicately, bonnet head shark is good eating
Really?
Black tip same way, best sharks to eat. anything over 3 feet I throw back, 2 1/2 to 3 feet is best. Cook it like a thin chicken breast. let the hate posts begin
Yes typically these shows interview extremists with no real idea. It did show one fish having its swim bladder vented at depth.
but that is not going into any aquarium
More annoying and probably well out dated and full of crap
I actually built a small DIY decompression device that I could carry when diving. I would bring up Black Cap Basslets from around 90ft of water when on vacation. It worked really well for years, I use to have around 6 of them in my tank.
