New Discovery Ch. Show Pacific Warriors - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

YakHanded · 07-07-2015, 08:40 AM

This might be old news for some, but I found out about this yesterday and am so pumped to see how it turns out...

PACIFIC WARRIORS – This new series follows the only commercial fishermen in the world who fish from a kayak…alone. With only a paddle, these brave Hawaiian men and women venture out to catch some of the most desirable fish in the sea. They must rely on brute strength to pull in 500 pound Marlin, Tuna, Mahi Mahi and Ono. However, the battles on the sea aren’t just with the fish. Turf wars and classic rivalries among families run deep among this tiny community of kayak fishers, with the natives coming into conflict with the newcomers – not unlike a modern/Hawaiian West Side Story. They put everything on the line – with families battling it out on their turf. But the slightest mistake could cost them their lives. Fishing is their livelihood, and nothing will stop them from feeding their families. (Original Media)
