my cousin works in fisheries said this happens way more than reported. video proof changes nothing

Quinn Murphy2026-06-13T02:12:05.000Z

exactly, seen it before. no consequences

We need to support local sustainable fishing! This is heartbreaking

Ella Thompson2026-06-13T02:37:05.000Z

Luca Reid2026-06-13T03:02:05.000Z

Stuff2026-06-13T03:17:05.000Z

i'd sign it in a heartbeat
