'Harpoon Hunters' star compares waiting for tuna to a 'sniper waiting to take a shot'

"Harpoon Hunters" stars Capt. Joe Dion and Capt. Niko Chaprales tell Fox News Digital what's it's like out on the water searching for giant bluefin tuna.

"I think the toughest part of this industry… is just when you’re going up on these fish, it’s almost like, for me, time kind of slows down," he told Fox News Digital. "It’s almost like a sniper waiting to take a shot. Your heart's pounding through your chest, and you have to make that decision on when to throw." "For me, time kind of slows down. It’s almost like a sniper waiting to take a shot. Your heart's pounding through your chest, and you have to make that decision on when to throw."

Chaprales said the "pressure" to harpoon a tuna is "always there because we work so hard to get to that moment in the day where all the pressure’s on you, and, you know, it’s not just you, it’s your entire crew and your pilot is depending on you to make that shot and make that decision of when to throw."
