Shelton Native On Cast Of New Discovery Reality Show

SHELTON, CT — Shelton native Aldo Addario will appear on Discovery Channel's new reality series All On The Line, which chronicles fishing crews that go after North Atlantic Bluefin Tuna.

Addario serves as deck boss on The Subdivider in the show, according to the Connecticut Post. Outside of the show he captains his own fishing boat The Gladiator and works construction.

The Subdivider is captained by Johnny Johnson who hopes to one day catch the biggest bluefin tuna on record; his father holds the world record for the biggest catfish. The show also follows the boat Julia Nicole which is manned in part by father/son duo Dan Smith Sr. and Jr.

The North Atlantic Bluefin Tuna is one of the most valuable fish in the world and a single catch can bring in $20,000, according to Discovery. Boats are only allowed one catch per day and fish have to be reeled in by hand, which makes for backbreaking work.

The show premieres May 22 at 9 p.m. on the Discovery Channel.
