Nice watching you guys fish. I learn a lot about what you are doing. Thanks for the ride..”
The sacrificed work of fishing !! Good luck and to take care of the sea and the resources it gives us !! Greetings to the crew from Chile!!
Thanks Pablo. Best wishes from all of us. Take care.
Lol.
.
Love to see you guys … good luck.
Fascinating. It's good that your following the rules.
God bless you guys.Stay warm an dry .be safe.
Nice to see Family working together without all that garbage drama you see on those shows, like deadliest catch ,, sick of the sensless junk
Keep up the awsome show you guys.
Responsible fishing. Nice catch!
Excellent video! It's great to see how the fish we buy is caught. I once was able to book a Halibut charter trip. It was a fantastic & fun time!
Glad you enjoyed it! We're glad to show the process behind it all. It always feels so great to get out on the water!
Hello, my friend, a fisherman. Thanks for explaining how to fish. I made you catch a lot🎣🎣🎣
I fished the Sound about 10years age, best halibut fishing I have ever seen.
Wow, back again after 2 years for a re-viewing. It's a pleasure to watch all of you getting the job done, good days or stinkers. I've watched enough of your videos that I have some idea how hard you work, and what a wide range of talents you have besides fishing. Developing the skills, and the specialized tools to fabricate your own gear, fitted up as you want it and with the huge plus of knowing your finished fabrications are safe, effective and reliable! The special tools come slowly, a piece at a time (& when you can justify the expense), but they sure do pay off when things just _work!_
The way you have your deck layout organized, and the way you all work together is great to watch. I know it is hard physical work, and you have some very long days during the summer (as we do), but it seems as if you work at a pace that doesn't leave you constantly absolutely exhausted, more vulnerable to accidents, mistakes, or slow responses. Seems like you enjoy life more, and will live longer. Thank you for posting these, and keeping us updated on the Emerald Isle. You've made a lot of progress since you brought her home.
I keep waiting for Matt to dream up a machine where he pushes in a pollock or herring at one end, and 3 or 4 chunks fall out the other end, of the tube, sized "just right" for baiting halibut hooks. You "acquired' the big bait grinder for crab season, but in my mind's eye I see another "torpedo tube" device where the semi-frozen fish gets cut into chunks, while fingers do not. Probably some commercial large-scale equipment supplier makes a machine that does this, but I'd love to see what the Matt and Dad team would brainstorm. Something quick to hook up, easy to use, stows neatly, but that stops instantly if necessary. I'm sure you have many projects already lined up, so I won't hold my breath in the meantime, lol! Best regards and many thanks from land-locked northern Alberta!
Oh
O mai ca
Awesome to watch your you guys do it up your way. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it
Great to see the family fishing together. 🐟🐟🐟
Thanks Tuna, we have a good time.
You guys are great ! Love your fishing vids ! Thank you ❤️
I worked the last halibut derby back in the 90's out of Homer, this is a lot more relaxed than the 1000 boat gold rush of those days. Out of dutch harbour we deck loaded and caught 1 400lb Halibut 3 of us 3 gaffs and one fish refusing to come aboard. Eventually we used the rock of the boat to get it aboard. I believe we were off Kodiak.
Really nice set..another great video !!
I love fishing and love watching others catching fish!!
Same here!
Nicely done!
Awesome catch love watching the video... fantastic guys

Another day in the office..
Another nice day..
Beautifull day nice whether
Very nice job guys
Bless you all..
Thanks for watching, Victor! It was a good day.
Nice huge Halibut. I can my whole neighborhood with that fish..I 💘 Halibut. Last time I bought from the boat local fisherman from Washington. My wife and family went camping and I brought and barbecue the fish..everyone love it.
That's awesome, it's great eating! And definitely nothing better than fresh fish off the boat.
Awesome family!
This looks fun. I haven't gone before in my life. Only Set net fishing.
It is indeed. Set netting looks interesting, I bet its some hard work! A lot of patience involved. Thanks for watching, Morgan.
Wonderful long line fishing catching.
Normally I appreciate sails more than engines, but I do enjoy the sound of that John Deere!
Same here, she purrs!
Nice..someday wanna b there
Good job T !
Thanks!
Another great video!
Glad you enjoyed it, Ben!
Nice to sea a catch as it actually is the good and the not so good. Thanks
Thanks, Graeme!
Some nice-looking fish for sure 🐟🐟🐟🐟👍🇺🇸🙂
Thank you, Joe Lee!
That was great!!!
Thanks for watching, Joe! Appreciate the comment.
Thanks for another very interesting video. Sitting in Northern Norway (Europe), I can see quite a few differences from the halibut fisheries we are doing here. The halibut looks the same, but ours (Atlantic Halibut) seems to be bigger in average. The minimum size here is 47 inches, and I guess the average size is more like in the range 50-55 inches. It is not unusual to get like 93 inches (approximately 100 kg / 220 lbs) halibuts, whereas the Norwegian record is 314 kg/ 692 lbs. Another difference is the vessels design (approximately the same vessel size or less) and the way we are setting and hauling the line. Always setting with the sea current and hauling against the sea current. Setting out the line at the rear of the boat, and hauling it on the starboard side, with the bow against the sea current. Normally, the branch lines are attached to the main line withe knots. It seems like we have more rough weather conditions than you, but the mountains are very similar. Keep up your good work!
Thanks Svein. Your fish are definitely larger there, our minimum size is 32". We get larger fish when we are shallow up in the rock piles, but 35-40 pound average would be big for a trip. Also the Bering Sea tends to have larger fish and 450 pound fish are not uncommon. Most vessels here do haul gear amidship on the starboard side. Stern hauling just works good for us, and we pull with the current when possible. It is very easy hauling like that often with little or no throttle and steering input for the set. We also set with the current or at an angle. Many of the larger vessels say over 50' use conventional gear in tubs or skate bottoms, where the gangion is tied to the mainline. We like snap-on gear because it baits fast, and no gearwork when you are done hauling. Also it keeps our deck nice and tidy. Both gear types work good though and convention gear is faster to set and haul than snap-on gear. And the weather...well we are pretty fair weather fishermen these days. We do get into some nasty stuff occasionally, but we try to avoid it. The area we are fishing has open water clear to the Washington coast and during a good storm will see seas build to 30 feet or more. I really enjoy reading your comments and would like to see your fishery. I love the lines the vessels up there, and you guys really work some rough water. Good fishing to you and be safe!
@@EISAlaska Hi again, guys
Another quite big difference between our coastal fisheries and yours is the variety of fishing species and the associated gears you are using. I have seen you fishing with lines for halibut, jigging for rockfish, using pots for crab and purse seine for salmon.
In Northern Norway the fishing fleet 35 feet and less get the majority of the yearly income from one single specie - the North East Atlantic Cod - also called “Skrei”. The season for it is January to April every year. The gears used are gillnet, longline, jigging machines and scottish seine.
Most vessels are specialized on one specific gear, but some combine gears, for example gillnet and jigging machines, lines and jigging machines, jigging machines and pots.
This year, the cod quota for a 35 feet boat is 39.4 metric tons (78000 lbs) round weight, which is 26.3 tons head off and gutted. Due to real bad weather in january, february and partly march this year, the fishing was difficult, but the prices went all time high. Approximately 3 USD per kilo (2 lbs) head off and gutted.
In addition there are big quotas for haddock and saithe (atlantic pollock). The price in the market for these species s approximately ½ to ⅓ of the cod.
Other important species are tusk, atlantic halibut, greenland halibut and King Crab (only in the north eastern region). In addition there are mackerel and herring, but the small coastal vessels normally do not utilize the pelagic species.
Summa summarum: You combine more gears and fish on more species than we do.
Nice catch👍👍👍
Thanks, Cari!
great content!!!
That was a nice catch guy's and that One Dang, pretty big. Great video and enjoyed it as always. Hope you guy's can keep your heads above water (Pardon the Pun) with your business and Stay Safe out there. until next time !
Thanks Stubby. We are in good shape for now, but we are looking at long term impacts and trying to mitigate our loss. I know the same applies for a very great percentage of the American and world population right now. All the best to you and your family. Stay safe!
Thanks for showing in slow motion the hook removal
Thanks for another great video. I know it must be boring for y'all, but it looks rather fun an enjoyable to me.... as I sit here on my couch never have been on a working boat.
Glad you enjoy it Joel! It can get boring at times, but we keep ourselves entertained laughing at the gulls fighting over scraps, and enjoying the beauty of our workplace. Sometimes you pull up a cool rock or some old gear or a big fish pops up when you're not paying attention.
This is only my second video watching you guys but you guys seem like you are some nice people
Thanks for joining us Ivy.

Thanks, bambam!
Good job
Beast mode.
Nice office!
It sure is!
Those octopus are huge
Wonder if some of that Halibut hits my favorite Fish and Chip place here in Eugene,Or. Newman's Fish Company. If you haven't tried it, head over there. Been around since 1890. Best Seafood in the PNW.
nice catch!
Thanks!
Nice catch my friend enjoy your vlogging
Thanks for watching!
I appreciate you guys not whacking them w clubs. So many others do, I'd rather rewatch yours than theirs ... Thanks!!
Whacking with clubs is counter productive, though the ending of a life is still the result, you won't miss and bruise up the flesh and you see when they cut through at the gills initially? That bleeds the fish so not only do you get nice white fillets, but blood starts to go bad very quickly so best remove it. If you kill them before you cut them, they don't bleed because their heart stops.We have a responsibility to treat all of our food animals with respect so there is no wastage. Good observation
They're not conscience, they have zero clue about pain or they're being caught for food. If the animals we eat had a consciousness, we would never catch them. We would never be able to hunt an animal or fish.. 😂
i love halibut its the, best eating ocean fish!
Good for sure. But if you love halibut you should try lingcod
Love this family fishin business ! More videos please guys ! Love watching them
We sure will, Jrb, thanks for watching and commenting!
So much more responsible than net fishing
That drum would have saved my back! I coiled so many skates of line.... it's a beautiful thing. I fished out of Prince Rupert in the '70s, so I am kinda old to do it now.
I started out fishing on a 75' longline vessel. We carried 350 tubs (1/3 skate) of gear. It's really nice not having to move tubs around. Best of all, when we are done pulling the set the gearwork is finished!
So wow
Cool guys
Pescar aí é bom meu colega , abraço a todos
That was awesome. Gotta go sleep. Thanks guys, I've got lots to catch up on lol.
What does a 58" fish give you?
Great video. I like it
Thank you very much!
Wow, you guys make it look so easy! Awesome stuff, first time seeing something like this. So cool.
Lots of practice Gary. Really glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!
Amazing
Thank you! Cheers!
very good 👍👍👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Good fishing
Guys they're starting to harvest dog fish off Massachusetts where I grew up.. by catch has put their numbers through the roof! They are actually great eating..
Thanks Joe. Industry has tried to get fish into those markets years ago. I think the biggest challenges had to do with dealing with the urea they excrete and skinning them. I'm sure lots has changed since then and it may be worthwhile to take another look at processing them here. They can get really bad in the fall and will run halibut and everything else out of an area practically overnight.
In Ireland there good for crab potting
@@nickjohns1192 for fuck sake you have them in Ireland?? Surprised to hear that! Stay safe boys!! Lots of fishing and crabbing to be done!! God bless!
I love this video catching fish llove to catch fish also so guys keep safe fishing
We will, Thanks for watching, Cortes!
Great vid..

Greetings from Indonesia
Voy a tomar esa práctica de sacar los anzuelos en las pescas que hago.
Nice video
Thanks J C.
Maravilha,pesca maravilhosa!
Nice video amazing
Thanks for the visit.
Looks like they're coming in like pearls on a string! I'd love to come to Alaska to fish Halibut at some time. I've done some longline fishing for eel in Denmark, but that's no longer legal.
Thanks Ole. That was a nice day, good fishing.
What type of eels are illegal to catch? I thought they were plentiful
