A 400 kilogram (880 pounds) tuna is landed by eight fishermen. This is adifficult and dangerous time when synchronized effort is required to land thetuna. Poor timing can cause the poles to break and a fisherman to land in thewater. Some fishermen have died in this manner after falling overboard and beingstruck by the tuna tails.
