- Life as a commercial crab fisherman in the Bering Sea is a wild one. We spent some time with the Silver Spray, a 116-ft crabbing boat based in Kodiak, Alaska, and got to hear their story. Working in some of the most adverse weather and environmental conditions nature has to offer, putting in 18-hour days filled with rigorous manual labor, and putting your life in the hands of your fellow crew makes for quite the intense scene. But someone has to do this work, and this crew represents a uniquely inspiring group of individuals who commit themselves to the life of a commercial fisherman.

Crazy job. Respect from a truck driver
Hey, I know the Prouts! It's good to see them out in their element, after all these years!
I am very interested in this job because it suits me with more than 15 years of fishing boat work experience. How can I get this job? Thank you
I would love to experience that kinda job love it on da ocean
they tendered our herring in Sitka this year lol, got our seine stuck in there prop was stuck tied up with a 60 ton bag of fish for a whole night lmao
Have any fishing footage?
I'd really love to experience working on one for a season. I know it's not easy but seems like something I'd love after awhile but idk, gotta be tough mf for sure
Silver Spray was the boat that unfortunately found the Destination. They found a coil of rope, an EPIRB, and a lifering which clearly said "FV Destination SeaTac" all of this pointed to that the boat went down and Destination was gone. Silver Spray had to go back to SeaTac and tell their families that they were gone.
I have to choose order to make
is better model Gale or Storm? for BIB and Jacket
better PVC or PU ??
thanks a lot
Neither both aren't made for real work they fall apart after a few hours of work and are to think to keep warm in they aren't worth the price they charge for them if they were under 100 for a set mabye but if you really want to work in them don't it's a waste
@@samduncan344 thanks. your advice on a good product?
@@carlocogo7594 guy cotton blues they last 10 generations at least
Boat has a very strange design. Not a big fan of that a-frame setup on the house
The F/V DESTINATION, F/V NORTHWESTERN, F/V ROLLO have same design I guest.
@@sontungle2641 The boats you mention have a typical Bering Sea crabber mast system from the mid-70's which exists to provide a mounting point for required navigation lights, antennas and the big sodium lights. The Silver Spray has a massive "A" frame usually used on purpose built trawlers or some oil field supply boats. It also has a stern engine room which is very unusual for a purpose built crabber.
I wonder why they dont cast more of these boats on "Deadliest Catch", if not jus fort a episode or two. get some new blood on the "shoe"
too cold for the camera crew i guess
Because they want drama and 95% of the boats don't fuck around
