I'm no shark angler. What did they do that was so unacceptable?

Well the title of the video does not say "shark fishing",they catch a nice blue shark from a boat kitted out and run properly for sharks so not sure what is wrong.I think the title is something about a big fish taking a bait intended for sharks

They hooked and lost exactly the species they targeted at the point in the video Jon, Bluefin tuna. It's an ICCAT protected species and only to be targeted by authorised boats within the tagging program. The trip they were on was not within the program.

Without watching the whole video again did they say they were going to target Bluefin Tuna?

So how do you know they were targeting bluefin, I had the video on but didn't watch intently did I miss something.
If deliberately targeted and they managed to land one they wouldn't be able to make the video?

If you've ever fished for extremely large fish you'll know the gear you require. They're in amongst loads of bluefin, seeing them bust out, picking them up on the echo, massive 6/700lb fish. The gear they hook the bluefin on isn't uk shark gear. 80lb stand up tuna stick with full roller guides, 50 wide reel probably with 500 yards of 80lb line loaded. They were loaded for bear for a reason. Not smart making a video when it's so obvious what's going on, so yes they wouldn't be able to if deliberately targeting, hence the accidental catch spin.

No don't know what gear is required. Now you've explained I see your point
