developmental defects that we re seeing in killifish, cardiovascular, their hearts aren t formed properly and that doesn t bode well for a fish s health. would you say that this is rock solid? no science is rock solid. and this is the language of science that sometimes opens the door to the spread of misinformation by parties that have other self-interests. scientists never say this is it for sure. but the weight of evidence is very clear that there s a very strong correlation causatively, we know oil causes these kinds of effects. we know we saw these effects in the field in the lab coincident with the arrival and timing of oil, the effects we see in killifish and the noaa folks saw in their fish were at the kinds of doses that we saw all over the gulf with the spill.
some fishermen who happened to include broward county safety officials. the two of them who didn t want their faces shown said they felt they were just at the right place at the right time. another 30 minutes to an hour and probably wouldn t have the same outcome. they were in pretty bad shape, both cramping, very dehydrated, very tired. they appeared to be mildly hypothermic. we thought they were bait fish. we got up close and once rerealized they were in trouble we brought them on board. that s right. he said he thought they were bait fish. they went to something
we originally thought they were bait fish. once we got up close and realized they were in trouble we brought them on-board. we ve got one of the fishermen on the phone with us. good morning. how you guys doing. hey, thank you so much for making some time for us here this morning. i just have to ask you. you re out there in the middle, seven miles out and you see a couple of people bobbing around out there in the water. what did you first think? obviously our first response was how in the world did they get way out here. we didn t know if they were some snorkelers or somebody on a surfboard or what. as we got closer we noticed they didn t even have any life jackets on. it was kind of an odd situation. treading water 14 hours. what kind of shape were they in? actually, mentally i was surprised. i think they were just kind of in a mild state of shock from
outcome as it did today because they were they were in pretty bad shape. they were both cramping pretty bad. they were very dehydrated, tired. they appeared to be mildly hypothermic. we originally thought they were bait fish. we got up close. once we realized they were in trouble, brought them on board. wow. the coast guard says despite what they went through, the couple will make a full recovery. the current crisis in iraq is very confusing. who is involved and what are the issues driving the country toward a full-scale civil war? find out straight ahead in our quick course: iraq 101.

it s not like casting out a little bait fish on the line. one tip? we use a lot of live bait. we use the live herring, mackerel, blue fish. wherever you are fishing, it depends on where you are is what you use for bait. every place you use different bait. what s interesting is you were talk being how this season of wicked tuna, there is a lot of bad weather. even if it s a crappy day, you got to be out there because the season is so short, you got to make all the money for the whole year in 14 days? you only have like a few months to do this, to make it happen. and it s harder and harder because bill and i, we re friends. but we are competitors on the ocean and we will be. yes. we re all fighting for the same fish. all of us are fighting for the same fish. i got six over 1,000. 1,000-pound fish? wow. how long does it take to reel it in? is it like ernest hemmingway?
