John Bennett fishes with 2,000meter long lines, each with 10,000 hooks. This is one boat, and one line. This story epitomizes the tradgedy of the oceans. Think about multiple long lines set by multiple fishing boats throughout the oceans. Bennett fishes for toothfish (sea bass), but think of the waste and slaughter of ocean creatures killed as bycatch: sharks, turtles, birds, sea mammels, etc., as a result of this destructive practice. Truly a crime against nature, and a fishing practice that should be outlawed.
