Back in the middle fifties I was able to fish with my dad out of montauk long island.It was not uncommon to see tuna blitzes like the one in the video. It was also faily common to harpoon swordfish that would be sunning theirselves on the surface. Captain Forsberg would award 50 dollars to anyone who first spotted a sword. If the fish spotted was caught you got 50 dollars. Unfortunately ,I also remember the Russian trawlers that just about wiped out the bft. I think it was about that time the USA finally extended the boundries to keep the other countries from fishing the waters out.
