I know they're hard working guys taking care of their families, I just wish someone could come up with a better method to catch shrimp other than dragnetting. It's terrible for fisheries in general. Until then, these boys gotta do what they gotta do and I dig it.
Having a shrimp dog is awesome
I worked on shrimpers out of the Port of Brownsville, Tx in the late 60’s. Not terribly hard work, good pay and great food. Unfortunately, not always the best captains but for a summer job, not bad.
Good video. However, saying " two a.m. in the morning is redundant to be more specific a pleonasm (the use of more words than are necessary to convey meaning). Just trying to help. Best regards from the Cajun Carioca Grammar Guru in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Lift with your back! - the guy from Regular Show.
These owners, Captain and great Hardworking Crew do for the people of the community when they get back in dock! These are Great People helping the American People!
This Captain just said it!! AMERICA IS SELLING OUT TO ASIA BUT KILLING OUR AMERICAN FISHERMEN!!! America takes care of Trash from the Border better then it does it’s VETERANS, it’s FISHERMEN AND FARMERS!!! This country is F uked unless we change the administration and if it doesn’t then A REVOLUTION IS COMING!!
Congrats Captain on being a Pop Pop!!! Cheers buddy!👍🏻👍🏻
I love the idea of sustainably harvesting crabmeat, however there are several studies carried out by the University of Miami that have shown that the minimum mortality of crabs that have both claws removed is higher than 60%. Also they state that it is very unlikely for such a crab to ever re-enter fishery due toe other factors such as predation and the long molding times. Mortality significantly decreased when crabs were only harvested at low water temps. Thanks for the great film, it's just not always as brilliant as it seems. Still better than importing farmed crab meat from Asia I guess!
You looks like you really wants to be in a shrimper...25 minutes of showing of the men on the boat and 5 minutes of sped up actual shrimp work that i think most people really came to see

Hello Scott, my name is Sean and im a freshwater commercial fisherman in Central Florida. I harvest invasive species in lakes. Would you interested in making a video?
Hey Sean, thanks for the invite! it would be great to chat with you more about this opportunity. Can you please contact me on my website? www.scottcgerke.com/contact I look forward to hearing from you, thanks :)
U brada
I was a long line fisherman on the Miss Marie out of Dunedin Marina Dunedin Fl back in the early 80's before the massive regulations set in. 62 now, in Carolina.... But still dreaming about returning to South FL and bandit fishing on my own small boat...
Sea roaches! Yum Yum! 7 days? Back in the day we stayed out fishing for 21 days.... I was a long liner in Gulf of Mexico decades ago before all the changes in regulations. Run short on salted bait? Run three mile shark lines at night! Miss Marie out of Dunedin Marina Fla... There was an old steel hulled shrimper out of Dunedin also....The Blue Ribbon.... I wonder where they are now....🤔
who the hell decides to be a fisherman but with gilnetting cringe
I worked on a boat when i was Young, around 7 years old out of Fairhope Alabama. i use to swim in the salt box when we were anchored. i miss it
What a great video I never knew about netting kings I have been king fishing in north Florida where I live off Jacksonville FL for 30yrs it's a fun time to catch a smoker 50lb+ king thanks for the wonderful video😊😊
Thanks, Dean! Did you ever compete in the Jacksonville Kingfish tourney? Your 50 pounder would have won you a great deal of $$$!
@@ScottGerke I have been in a few of them when my father was alive we fished in 96-08 times best place was like 13 and 18 never could catch a big one during tournament always before or after lol that's fishing I love it.
@@DeanSchumacher ahhh man, that's what always happens! I'm glad you had all of those wonderful years fishing with your father :)
Cool video learned alot on shrimping
What about come to the philippines and experience d life of a soundcrew, it might be fun
Microwave cheeseburger? No thanks, save me a plate of SOS
Luv the vids. Keep up the great work
Thanks Joe!
11:55 what do you do with rejects?
I remember them saying they'd either be sold locally or eat them themselves.
VERY interesting. I could watch that for hours. As a marine biologist I would love to quantify and identify what species they accidentally catch. Very cool
we never find out... btw..
That's a hard work to do.
Key West Pink Shrimp (Pinks) BUY LOCAL MAGA

USA Gulf shrimp is the Best!!!
No wonder I get sick from shrimp!! Out in the heat all that time!
the guy looks like post malone 😮
I was eye-openingand learned a lot from this video. Thanks for sharing!
These guys are some of the most well spoken commercial fishermen I've ever heard speak
Our native domestic shrimp species are so delicious, but unfortunately our local fisheries are having problems with invasive Asian species of everything including shrimp. Their larger species of tiger shrimp are amazing size wise but like all things Asian have little flavor. Of course, if your buying from the big box outlets like Sams or Costco's those shrimp are imported from terrible land locked shrimp farms bred in putrid waters, toxic for consumption, but that's what your buying. Remember REAL Flavorful shrimp? no.. i mean blow your doors off with every bite?.. chances are.. nope! I myself have not had amazing shrimp since the 1980s. and again, im not talking about good shrimp, im talking AMAZING shrimp. both size and flavor. flesh that pop with every bite. I doubt most people especially young people who dont in regions with local fisheries have even any familiarity with what shrimp actually taste like. we need to support our local domestic fisheries.
I want to say this with respect, why do fishing fleets charge more per kilo compared to a land farmer I think there is far more expense for a land farmer which sells their products cheaper

Awesome
Hawaii has the best fishery 0 by catch almost
which fishery is that?
That was cool as heck. Enjoyed an sub.
Great to hear and thanks for your support!
You should go up to the maryland and work the day with @fvsoutherngirl
That would be pretty rad! At some point I'll reach out to him :)
I hate the word community. People help people there needs to be no community.
Keep the heads! Lots of seafood dishes made from the heads.
There is alot of clueless fisherman out there, commercial fish is recorded to every pound sold, for people who dont have a fishing license so they can eat fish.
You are clueless if you truly believe that commercial fishing is not absolutely destroying every fishery on earth. There is no such thing as sustainable gill netting
