- Raw footage of commercial seine fishing for salmon in Crawfish Inlet, Baranof Island, Southeast Alaska. Unbelievable return for the chum salmon fishery.
Footage taken on F/V Lucky Star. August, 2018.
Net rolls varied from 3,500 lbs. - 8,000 lbs. This is incredible fishing!
"The purse seine fleet set a single day chum salmon catch record for the entire state with a haul of over 980,000 chum salmon taken at Crawfish Inlet south of Sitka on Thursday, Aug. 30 according to Northern Southeast Regional Aquaculture Association (NSRAA) manager Steve Reifenstuhl. Seiners took 1.13 million fish in two openings." - Krátké a kreslené filmy
So many questions...but first a few comments...what's for breakfast - scrambled eggs with salmon, what's for lunch - salmon burgers, what's for dinner - salmon steaks. hard work...and what a haul.
I used to work for NSRAA, that was a big year! Glad you guys could make some money.
Great video. I can’t believe that is the Lucky Star. I fished on that boat from 1990 to 1994 salmon in Alaska sardines San Francisco, squid and sardines out of San Pedro. Good to see she still working.
Guy with orange rain gear is a top hand. He was always making things work without the tangles.
Damn i thought he was sloppy
Nice catch, skipper is very calm to watch, guys use a bloody broom to more the fish to the hold hatch not your bloody foot. good video, much better than the Pacificfishing video
what is the name of the tool used to tap water??
@@lucianofreitas3337 plunger
This looks like one of the movies where aliens invade humans.
Totally amazing haul gang ....awesome teamwork !!!!
Guys were logging! Haha! Nice set! I can't wait to go back to work on my seiner!
Damn that roller is sweet. When I fished, those were pretty new so only a few guys had them. We always had to use the brailler when we had a big set. That would take forever.

How can I get a job like this?
I would’ve taught “I could go fish like hundreds of fish with a boat” then I saw these processes that should be accurately taken step by step. Now I know it has to be LEARNED!!!
This is BEAUTIFUL!!!
You youngsters got it easy with hydraulics. In 60's and 70's we had to use hand brailers with the help of the deck winch.
Nice haul boys. Thanks for putting food on the table.
I wish there were videos before we had RSW holds and pumps. Gosh we used to fight down there while pitching fish.
Very nice.I veri qled
see look

My best friend, It's always great. Your video is excellent quality. We liked and enjoyed to the end. Thanks
Show begins after 16:55 minutes this is helpful...
So amazing really a lot of fish caught by intelligent techniques good job guys
Wow... !!! My best friend, It's always great. We liked and enjoyed to the end. Thanks
No fish we're harmed in the making of this video 😂 😂
That’s an incredible set. 40,000lb? I heard crawfish gets awesome late in season. Was that the set of the day or were other boats hauling that kind of weight? Also love the speed that the skipper is hauling at. I hate stacking corks when it’s fast. And the jelly bunnies... oof. Gotta love the work to do that fishery.
Thanks Tyler - yes, the fishing was heavy and slower in Crawfish - too many fish! Our biggest set that day was about 25k lbs as I recall
thats not 40000 pounds that is maybe 5-7 thousand pounds tops
What a joke. Good job with your net 🤣🤣🤣 and they blame a crashing salmon population climate change 🙄 🤣
The guy in all orange is the one making this operation go. That's the way it always is. Smarts and skills are rare.
What’s he doing with the pole and hitting the water
that is very cool..!! Your video is very entertaining, well done my Friend...
Now I can see why our salmon fishery is shut down to recreational angling, makes sense.
Where do you live?

What does a hatchery in Sitka Alaska have to do with Canadas poorly managed fisheries?
My friend I was at Alaska doing the same things, we were pulling out 7 thousand pounds a day for almost 5 months!! 😅😅
What is the pole with what looks like a toilet plunger (LOL) on the end of it being used for as the guy keeps plunging it into the water?
That makes a sound for the fish and they turn into the net
That pole is called a plunger. Personally, I don’t think they work worth shit, but that is from a guy who had to do it all the time.
I enjoyed watching that very much. Men are very good at their jobs!
That was a rare protected species of log.I'm so glad they recognized that and set it free again quickly.Sustainable fishing there at it's best.
LOL, we try our best!
put it back so the next fisherMAN can catch it...Fing moron
That is sooo clever 🤣🤣🤣🤗🤗🇭🇲🤗

@@johnceyesdaby no. a moron would put it on board.
Great video! It's nice to be reminded how hard someone works so that we are able to consume the foods we eat.
You don't eat those fish. They are Chums/Dog salmon. Japanese want the eggs. Chums aren't fit to eat.
@@cammontreuil7509 the process of catching Atlantic salmon I'd presume would be identical, no?
@@pnwRC. Atlantic salmon are all farm raised.
Atlantic salmon don't school up like prolific Chums do to be able to net them in this manner.
@@cammontreuil7509 NEGATIVE! The fish I eat are NOT farmed. I pay an extra high price for the wild caught salmon
@@pnwRC. salmon is a generic term.
Make sure you know what you are eating.
Lucky Star that's a great name, I would like to see some specs on the vessel though. Footage tonnage... and some pics.
Roy Scheider said it best ,” your gonna need a bigger boat “.
Nice catch of Dogs! How many water hauls before you scored?
no water hauls that day, just pure fish!
@@aaroncherry2993 tons of red jellyfish do not count...
These guys have it down to a science. Great Job .
Chums are a no brainer. They school together like idiots. Just circle them.
That's sustainable log fishing ! Catch and release. Catch it again.

Well done!!
When a man knows what he's doing you just gotta pay attention and remain silent and watch lol
Yep
God bless you Raj Mohan for saying that
I can feel the jellyfish sting from here
Where was the next haul going. Looked like the box was full, but they all finally fit. Better than the last video with the deck boss screaming and cussing.
Damn really awesome catch dude excellent
WOW That was freakin Awesome to watch!! I love watching stuff like this! I was lucky enough to grow up around guns, hunting, fishing ect…. But I’ve always worked hard to better my life and set an example for my younger generation…. But that’s just how I was raised… So many of today’s youth are so freakin lazy and don’t want to do crap, but yet still expect to have everything given to them drives me crazy….
why did you irrelevantly bring your life story into a video about fishing lol
Awesome video! What is that rod with the thing at the end of it that you guys are hitting against the water for?
I am wondering the same thing. It looks like maybe he is trying to scare something off
Spooking the fish to stay at the back of the net.
what is the name of that tool?
@@lucianofreitas3337 Plunger

Awesome work guys. Love to eat salmon. Do you ship these salmons world wide???
GOOD TO SEE THE GIRL ALSO WORKS JUST LIKE THOSE GUYS....REAL HARD WORK
Yup
What is the guy doing with the big rod that he is punching into the water??
Provoking the fish I want to say
It's a blooper it sends a shockwave into the water to scare the fish away from the opening of the net like slapping your hand on the water makes a pop same concept
@@stevendelcarlo3294 Thanks for that answer. I had spent a little time on the day of my post trying to find it by Google but "man hitting water with stick" was not giving me anything. :)

Steven Del carlo yea thx bro I’m trying to learn more about fishing just go with my dad once in a while it’s fun 😁
what's the white foam left in the water after the salmon are on the boat?
Wonderful video.

Hello cá to quá chừng nhiều cảm ơn bạn nhiều lắm mến chào bạn hiền thanks you OK 👍👍👍
what was the guy in the beginning doing with the long rod ??
Off the back of the boat ?
I'm curious too.....
Wouldn't wanna be the poor bastard who stepped off into one of them 2 openings.

What the guy with the long stick doing looks like he's punching the water with a boxing glove at the end of the stick
javier S D I was wondering the same fucken thing 😂
@@danbraun8430 I'm guessing it's a noise maker to keep the fish away from the freedom end of the net.
Graeme Glen oh I bet you are right, I never thought of that 👍
It's a plunger, imagine a toilet plunger but about 18 feet long and made of metal. It's used to make noise to keep the fish away from the boat.
So much blessing bro!
What's the haul? How much do they get paid per pound? If anyone knows, thanks
The stick is to make noise to keep the fish in net before it is closed
That's pretty funny.
That fish on the top left corner has to go through all of this again... 29:01
Someone missed the part where the cork or leads guy was post to call out "Giller" and then the web guy was post to handle that haha!
What is the guy hittin the water with the pole? What is the cause of that? Sry im from oklahoma and havent a clue
Un buen trabajo se nota que son profesionales
Wow, where do I start? Amazing video!! I started watching fishing videos to get pumped for next season and found yours to be very relaxing. Crawfish inlet is a very beautiful place, some of the best huckleberry picking I've seen. That was a beautiful set. I'm terrible at guessing but I'd say somewhere near 15,000 pounds? It's very entertaining reading these comments and seeing everyone asking about plunging :) Don't listen to the haters, they have no idea about our lifestyle.
Yes, the fishing work is a work like no other - glad you enjoyed it! I published the video for fellow fishermen and educational purposes. No fancy editing. No overblown hype. Just straight fishing! Our biggest set that day was about 25k lbs
25k is pretty good, I was in Crawfish last week and our biggest set was about 5k. So far it has been a disappointment there this year.
Zcaể
@@aaroncherry2993 Looks like a huge operation what was your share ? and theres a good while repairing the net
Beautiful set of nasty Chums ? You don't know your fish. They are called dog salmon because really only fit for a dog to eat.
looks like bycatch was octopus, flounder/halibut, and other juvenile fish. and the bycatch that went overboard was alive. (unlike earlier comment stating otherwise)
It's hard to minimize bycatch in a narrow inlet. Flounders are tough fish and have a 95% survival rate when thrown back in ocean. Jellyfish are everywhere, all the time. Very annoying I must say.
You are a smart thinker thank you
So what was the total for that day when you finished sorting? One or 2 more of those and the decks gonna be loaded
We loaded the boat with about 60k lbs of salmon
@@aaroncherry2993 I wouldn't consider a Chum a salmon. Salmon is a fish people love to eat.
@@cammontreuil7509 If you were to look up the definition of "salmon" I don't think it would include "a fish people love to eat"
@@danielspencer5855 in the true sence you are correct.
Salmon is a generic term that the uninformed have been brainwashed to believe is one fish.
Chum/Dog salmon are not common table fare.
You will see this fish sold at Asian markets, but not at your local Safeway.
Now that's team work!!
What is the guy doing with the pole hitting the water?
he plunges to keep the fish in the net, because there is a gap in that area where the two ends of the net meets.
Chris Gridley it’s known as the “idiot stick” because it doesn’t do anything at all. Skippers just hate seeing their crew stand around.
It would be nice if they add another camera attached to the little boat so we can see how it drags the net back out into the ocean.
Are They Over Fishing It Or It's Salmon Season's Time!
¿ Cual es la función que cumple el hombre que golpea el agua en la superficie con la vara y en envase cóncavo ?
I worked a seiner southeast forty years ago. Those boys just made some money - no jellies either - damn.
One of those catches is over 100.000$?
que trabajo cordinado exelente pesca y muy buenos trabajadores
What’s the pole slamming into water doing?
What’s the guy doing with the long pole with the ball on the end?
If you want to see more than a winsch pulling a net, scroll to 18:50 first fishes appear hahaha
no. the first fish actually appears at 2:59
@@wrenchaholic Think of all the innocents tame badger has deceived.
Absolutely incredible I am living in a country where we do not have Salmon. Most unreadable fish in the world. And to see fisherman working so hard to give the world something ineradicable is absolutely great. I Love it!!!!
Trust me you wouldn't eat those nasty Chums.
What is the purpose of the long pole they are using?
It's to drive the salmon down toward the bottom of the net, to keep any from jump over and out the net
Whats the name of the hotrod boat? Bingodopper? I'm curious why it sounds so tough? Does it help scare the fish into the net.
Scott Acheson No, but the noise gets their attention. The sound of the engine in the smaller boat tells me it's a small diesel attached directly to an all aluminum hull and super structure. It is a nerve wracking sound.
Why do the fish bleed? The water in the hold is so bloody, why is that? Is that Roe and not blood? I am not seeing a lot of by-catch that others are complaining about. I found this to be an interesting and informative video, thank you for sharing, and answering questions, really helpful.
Aí é sem chance ;que haja conhecimento e senso de preservação dos estoques de pescados ,em prol das futuras gerações e da vida no planeta.
It would be easier to go to the grocery store and buy some salmon.
It’s called feeding the hungry of the world.
this is in Alaska with some of the strictest regulations in the world for both sport and commercial fishing. There are quotas and when they are met for that season the fishing of that species is stopped. They also regulate where, when, and how you can fish. So, certain areas maybe closed to fishing that year, or only open for a short time, or open to fish one species but closed to fish other species. Or, maybe prohibit nets in certain area and can only use longlines etc.
Thanks for all your effort to help us get food on our tables!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
how many hours do they put the nets in the water? 2 - 3 hours? or 24 hours?
Each set is usually 30 minutes long
Wow😱😱😱
That was a lot of 🦈🦈🦈🐟🐟🐟 early boundery. 😂👍👌👏
Hai , whats is the Guy doing with the pole ?
I wonder too...
At the end of the pole is a cup that when rammed quickly into the water, makes noise that scares the fish away from the only place they can escape, until they finish pulling the net closed .
@@MADDLADO1 Thank you, was really curious what he was doing!
What is the instrument ya'll kept jabbing in the water, and what does it do?
Do the fish take a dumper when they're being hauled out? The water looks gross
That's basically Blood and Sh*t..
B because fish get crushed by the squeezing net and the weight of the thousands of fishes going mental above and around them.. So their Bowles are squeezed clean and injured fishes bleed.
*Feeling a bit silly now, with my sportfishing "catch and release" mentality....*
This was mainly pink salmon which i wouldn't catch for sport or keep anything more than bait. Now if you are catching cutthroat or sockeye and releasing the smaller guys in hopes too hope it gets larger the next time someone catches it... That's good sportsmanship
@@rezarhodes3865 These were Chum. (as per the description). Pinks usually weigh no more than 5-6 lbs.
It all helps ,it’s the right attitude to have ,commercial fishing has destroyed many of the fisheries,they are trying these days a bit better but we are just taking too much ,catch your own
20:23 that's a good catch
Ronen Shemesh I'm guessing thirty tons of salmon were netted which should wholesale for about 50 cents a pound USD. The. Refs payday for this one catch should be about $30,000 USD. Hell yes!!
So amazing how great it is. Love it, thanks. Like
Flying fish at 9:15 on the right doesn't quit moving until after 13:00...takes them forever to suffocate and die
Funny comments from you “fishies”...
it’s life... these hard working guys are making a living and support their local community. And feeding a lot of people.
All i see are a bunch of dipshits netting fish
Yep- but still working hard and too many fishies making dumbass comments....
My OCD wanted to see every last fish go into the well.. I mean, c'mon man!!!! LOL
What did that blue rope that was being hauled in do exactly?
its the purse line that closes up the net
Crew knew what to do and when.
Do they need a OSHA 30 hour course...
Looks like a lot of salmon. Is this sustainable?
yes it is, becouse the government set sustainable amounts to fish + the fishing goes on only a few days-weeks each year..
so that a big enough part of the salmon can migrate up the riwers to spawn.
and create a new generation.. remember,, 1 salmon can lay 2000-10.000+ eggs. hehe
Salmon farm : the kind fed with MO and antibiotics, the kind you get in your favorite restaurant.
of course not have you ever heard about fish population increasing anywhere in the world ? i have not
@@vpcha Can't you read ? it's a fish FARM !
Fishes are raised in cages that can be as large as 1 km in diameter. Boat casts its net in the middle of the cage.
Sadly enough this type of fish population increases as much as chicken population increase in a chicken FARM.
Watch how salmons don't fight and die very fast on this video. If you ever saw a WILD salmon fight against being trapped in a net you would see the difference !
Worse : they feed those fish with fish meat and other dry meat powder to which they add antibiotics, anti-fungi and other GMO by throwing whole buckets of them in the water. The stuff which isn't immediately eaten by captive fishes goes out in the open water and wild fish in the surroundings are contaminated by GMOs. This sometimes change their genetics… which in turns changes the species.
That's what's dangerous about those farms.
So what is not environmental friendly is the contamination of wild salmons nearby those farms. Not the fact that fishermen in this video catch too many fish.
Cheers !
@@vpcha actuallt the way the Dutch are setting quota's the North sea is seeing more fish. Even blue fin tunas are swimming here again after they where gone for decades.
whats the long pole ? and why is the guy spiring the water with it ?
At 21:00 why is the water so brown around net, and the brown gets bigger? Also why is there so much foam around net that also gets bigger?
Next time you order salmon at a restaurant and it comes with a boot mark on its face - it came from this boat.
If you order Chum from a restaurant, your a f**king idiot and you should do a little research before you order Salmon again. The one thing you might order from I high end restaurant would be and caviar / the eggs from this type of salmon. So unless your a plant or a cat/dog then I don't recommend ordering Chum / dog Salmon from any restaurant. Sorry for being so direct but I work in this fishery and to come off as if they ar stepping in the fish on purpose is a very improper statement and these guys are busting there ass. Let alone people don't usually eat the meat of these salmon, mainly the eggs. You want good salmon then order Sockeye (Red) Salmon or King Salmon or Coho (silver) Salmon. Stick to those 3 then you will have a good meal but don't order Chum (dog) Salmon or Humpy's (pink) Salmon. Have a good day!
What are they throwing back?
What’s the guy spearing the water for?
They could save a lot of money if they would just pay these boys a million bucks to take care of the silver carp.
For your information, US fisherman is catching silver carps and export them to China. See youtube. Believe me America is smart and very quick to solve a problem. Other option is to allow immigration for 1 million Chinese and settle them in the Midwest, they will fish and devastate The carps in no time But I think such an option is politically inadvisable
