That's one way to do it. Sure is a bunch of feesh!

They might want to bleed em' and get em' on ice... But what a productive technique.. Looks to be easier than a hand line.

Whack 'em and stack 'em, boys!

Thats cool.

That should be the only technique allowed for Skip Jack harvest. Its a selective fishery, and actually does a lot of good in areas where there are large populations of sub-adult Blue Fin, and other endangered, pelagics.

The method takes a long time to master, and can create havoc if one poker is out of sync, or cant un-hook the fish properly on the "backcast" essentially. Those Jack are actually biting the bare hooks, and sometimes they cinch leaves, or yarn in the knot, but usually the scholling Skip's will eat anything in their face.

I wondered how they were hooking up so fast.

Looks like a few of tose guys are wearing helmets... And for good reason I'm sure. I'd hate to get hit with a flying fish or pole.
