Yakobus Da Silva, 33, born in Larantuka.
He has been fishing since he was 17 years old. He started as bait thrower and boat cleaner, then started to fish skipjack tuna and soon after that yellowfin tuna. The biggest tuna he ever caught weighed 104 kg and he spent approximately 45 minutes to bring onto the boat. He likes the job as a fisherman as it fulfills the life of his two kids even though he has to spend almost 24 hours on the boat, leaving his family behind.
