What do they look like???

OK, I've caught albacore, held them, admired them, examined them, disected them ... even eaten them. But I don't have a good idea how they operate in the water. I'd love to see a video of a swimming albacore, to see how those long pectorals work under water. Are they like aelerons or like wings? Do they flick them out to change direction, or do they sail on them? Has anyone ever seen a video of albacore swimming? Does anyone know where I might find one?

I am not sure if this is what you're looking for but it looked like fun to me.... prowler tuna fishing

I like the kid in the 3rd video who's resting the pole on the gunnel! What a great shot! He's all by himself but he's determined to get HIS fish in! Not paying attention to anything else but just reeling! [img]graemlins/applause.gif[/img]

Pete, at times we see free swimmers under the boat, following up the hooked fish. Usually the free swimmers have their big pec fins out to the side; looks like a bird gliding but no flapping.
