Definitely not a how-to for sport fishing, as a lot of this film seems to rely on 'revenge fishing', this is, I hope, an example of fishing from the past and not representative of today.
We start on the boat, where the narrator notices some porpoises following them, "Definitely not food fish!" Thank goodness! "But can be used for a lot of other things, like leather!" Soon, they're fishing for tuna, and a shark joins in for the hunt for tuna. After they catch the tuna, (which attained a major laceration from the shark) the fishermen take out their frustration and get the shark as well (using a gun!), soon they're catching Stingrays (!!), a hammerhead shark (gun usage again) and in it's rather strange ending, we see a battle between a swordfish and a giant whale. Curiously, the fishermen decide "to take the whale out of it's misery' by.. killing the whale! Before you can say, "Well, why not just go for the swordfish?" rest assured that they go and kill that as well. Keep in mind during all of this, the most RIDICULOUS narration is going on, with narrator almost drooling over the fishermen's exploits. Quite a strange film.
