The hook is attached to the boat with its multi-strand wire cable and rope for a hand's free lock-down on the catch. The Blue fin tuna is allowed to swim alongside the boat, relaxing after the fight while the toxins are flushed out and the core temperature is reduced naturally as water passes through the gills. When conditions are right, a quick dispatch insures the meat is of the highest quality for the highest price at market.

Captain Bob Earl attended a seminar sponsored by N.C. Marine Biologists in conjunction with a panel of Blue Fin Tuna buyers. The problem under consideration was scrombrotoxin poisoning, also known as histamine poisoning, resulting from present methods used during the handling process. During the struggle of the catch, toxins (lactic acid) are released into the flesh of the fish and the core temperature of the fish rises as a result of this. The buyers want the flesh cleansed and the temperature reduced as soon as possible. The old method of instantly icing the fish allowed the core temperature to remain high because the toxins remained. Eliminating the production of this natural poison would secure the best quality (and thus most valuable) meat at market.

Captain Bob found the solution by applying a new spin on another product he developed in his shop. The Blue fin Tuna Swimming Hook evolved from a Tarpon Gaff that Captain Bob originally designed and built for renowned Boca Grande Tarpon guide and Tarpon tournament champion, Captain Robert McQue. In that situation, the fish was kept alive and secured in the water for the live weigh-in and revived for release by swimming and maintaining its health. The Blue fin Tuna Swimming Hook evolved from this tool, but the objective of it’s use it to secure the fish alongside the boat where it can swim until its flesh is cooled by flushing out the toxins. When the fish lights up, it can be dispatched to harvest the highest grade of meat for market. Trying to tie a rope to a 700 lb. Blue Fin Tuna can be difficult. With the Swimming Hook, one snap and you've got him. |
