I have been a commercial fishermen for 20 years own multiple boats it’s definitely a job you have to love if you want to stick around I see a lot of guys attempting it as a career but it’s not for everyone

[@jacknichol3425]

how did you get and find jobs

[@shannoncargo468]

I grew up around the industry and knew a lot of people my 1st year but if I was to look for a job and never commercial fished before I would walk down the docks and talk to people that work on the boats always a lack of good help

Do deckhands need a license or certificate of some sort?

[@shannoncargo468]

@@Mrs.T305 none of that is needed

[@Nemineme]

What a great adeventure! What was the name of the boat your were on? All the footage is from other videos on CZcams. Hard to believe you have no personal footage. It's a bit sus.

[@w47shaw]

I worked on the boat you took the salmon seigning video from. The Anthem!

How do you find Captain's in Alaska

[@haroldconover5221]

There ya go !

[@johnmorgado8676]

where do you live/fly out from to get to Alaska, im guessing you eat the cost of flight

[@JD-lb8np]

How random, 😅 i live in AK and was looking up how to send fish to the lower 48 now in watching this video of commercial fishing 😂wtf

[@lornejustice7571]

What percentage where you working for? Ive signed on for 10%
A million lbs is supoosed to be the goal right? How did you come out with only 14K ? Thats like what 3-4% ?

[@connorbyers]

10% except in rare cases is usually reserved for returning deckhands and not first years -7-8% is typical for greenhorns. And the % is minus the cost of fuel and food, and the price of salmon fluctuates every year.

[@Royalred616]

Plus you only get a p2 share

[@kenaidog6974]

PWS seining is a vacation.

[@Billwolkoff]

How is Seining in PWS like the deadliest catch?

[@dominickdouglas5097]

Can you tell us what websites to go through to apply to be a greenie?

[@jamisontulin-jensen209]

Who let this horn have a CZcams lol

[@alberrtogil2250]

Do you need any certification, license to work here????

[@Ak-710.]

Just an Alaska commercial fishing license is all you need to get on a boat

[@hadisarjono1043]

cant i join that job

[@robert8909]

A full summer for 14k😂😂

[@FuegoRapidoAhora]

You know that’s equal to $118,000 across a year…. as an 18 year old I think? And food and place to stay paid for?

[@eriksprieditis1988]

is that a lot or no?

[@Nemineme]

300$ a day, but as Connor said the experience was the better payoff
