What does fv mean in fv tuna.com

Among the several captains who lead their respective crews and fishing boats are Dave Carraro of FV-Tuna. It was actually my partner at the time who came up with that name about 15 or 20 years ago. As a captain…well, it depends. Safety-conscious—although there are risks involved, but we try to reduce those as much as possible.

And one that wants to succeed, catch the most fish, and make a lot of money. I was 26 years old. But again, I was a fisherman first and a pilot second. As a pilot though, I had quite a few friends that did it. I knew how much time they had off, and being a pilot fits my lifestyle. With all the time off, it allows me to fish when I choose.

About four or five days of fishing—could be spread out or could be all at once. When I come in from fishing, a lot of the times I just run home, take a shower, put my tie on. Grab my flight bag and head to the airport. I like that. I also read that you guys had to send in an audition tape for Wicked Tuna. What was that tape like? So we just continued the process and they sent us a little mini-camera. Along with the camera was a list of questions.

We just set the camera up on the boat and the three of us—myself, Sandro, and Paul—sat in front of the little camera and took turns answering the questions one by one.

When we were done with that, we packed it up, put it in a little bag, and sent it back. About a week later, they called us and asked if we were interested in doing the show. Well, we always have six people on the boat in addition to two crew members for a total of eight people. But the cameras are always in your face 24 hours a day, pretty much seven days a week. We had 16, hours of footage last year for basically 44 minutes of TV [per week]. Is anything scripted? None of it really has to be fabricated.

So yeah, what you see is pretty much what you get. We had to fight a fish for about 10 hours. It was very long and strenuous, both physically and mentally. We were fighting that fish in very, very rough seas.

But that was definitely the highlight of the summer. I can tell you that we love to fish, we want to have fun, we want to make a few dollars, and we love chasing giant bluefin.
