Wicked Tuna Boats, Their Captains, And Crews

 Wicked Tuna Boat FV-Tuna.Com:

The captain of the Wicked tuna boat Fv-tuna.com is Captain Dave Carraro.

The FV-Tuna.com is the most hated of all the boats in all the Wicked Tuna boats. All the other teams do not like these boats. The boat was built in 2003 and it has a 38 foot high sheer Duffy that has been painted black. The boat is referred to as the black boat at times. Every fisherman that hunts for the Bluefin tuna in Massachusetts knows about this boat.

The reason for this is that it brings in one of the largest Tuna fish to shore. This makes all the other crews jealous. The other reason why the FV-Tuna.Com is quite popular is that the captain of the boat is known to give the wrong coordinates of the vessel and make other crews go on a wild goose chase at the ocean. Many fishers see the boat as a significant problem for their business. The paint job is held secret and is known to attract the giant fish somehow that it captures.

Former Boats in Wicked Tuna.

The Bounty Hunter

The bounty hunter is made to have all the whistles and bell as well as all the comfort that are in a home. It is characterized by a clean deck, a great bed as well as great food. It is one of the most comfortable boats, but this does not matter in the game. What matters is the size of the tuna and the number it hooks. If it does not perform the owner will have to sell it with time. The captain is Bill Monte

The Odysea

This is one of the smallest of all the boats. The captain of the boat is Ralph Wilkins who says that the size of the bat does not matter. He says all that matter is having people to guide you on how where to go for the tuna. Ralph works as a team with the captain of the Bounty Hunter who happens to be his best friend he says that their friendship has made them more potent in the game.

The Lily

This is one of the best harpoon boats that is captained by Bill Muniz who has been nicknamed Hollywood. The fishing method referred to as harpooning is an ancient method that has a modern twist. The harpoon boat has spotter plane that is used to track down schools of the Bluefin tuna. It can carefully select the perfect position to get on tuna with a sing harpoon shop. This is a very technical method to fish and is done within very short seasons of the Bluefin migration for the waters in Canada. This is usually from June to Mid-July.
