We Set 5,000 Hooks… Then a Giant Bluefin Horde Slammed the Line

A cinematic ocean documentary exploring a high-risk offshore longline operation and the immense scale of modern bluefin tuna harvesting. Filmed in real conditions, this expedition reveals the technology, coordination, and human decision-making required to deploy thousands of hooks in open ocean waters. This is not sport fishing — this is industrial risk, heavy equipment, and survival at sea. In this episode of Ocean Hunters, we follow a professional crew as they manage a massive longline system while a giant bluefin tuna horde overwhelms the operation. Every decision at sea carries weight — fuel, timing, equipment, and safety. All scenes are presented in a documentary context focused on education, safety, and real-world marine operations.
