Interesting Fact: This is how the main ingredient in your fish dip is caught!
In a world of commercial fishing that is so unknown to most of us, I couldn't find any in depth videos on what it's really like working on a king mackerel gill netting boat. So, lucky for me, I was given the opportunity to film EVERYTHING and share with you the reality of what it's like catching tens of thousands of pounds of king mackerel in a highly regulated and sustainable fishery. If you watched my Florida lobster video, you may recognize the boat I'm on. What I learned is that lobster boats double as gill net boats.
Huge thanks to the G&D crew for giving me this incredible opportunity and for taking the time to explain every little detail to me about this industry. You all really helped make this video shine!
The music that was played during the morning shots was recorded by one of my favorite Key West musicians, Chris Rehm. I'm so glad I got to use his music and thanks Chris for allowing me to do so! Check him out here: www.keywestchris.com

@robertcarpenter7486 Месяц назад

@@lukawilliams4822 really @luka I know a bit about this subject being a fisherman and an older man fishing streams, lakes and saltwater, here is my take on this topic,,, first over fishing , just take enough for a couple meals, that is enough. When it comes to net fishing, which I personally don’t approve of, I have witnessed first hand 2 large ships using huge nets which drag the bottom and scoops up everything. This is the worst of all,,,,giant nets and mile long trot lines. Our waterways,lakes,and oceans must be managed much better than they are. Also during nesting season I would close down catching fish full of eggs. ,

In Australia these fish are called Spanish. This type of fishing was used here as well snd completely wiped out some fisheries to the pint where these migrating fish have never returned.

@ScottGerke Год назад

Was the industry ever federally managed or had some environmental group studying the population? Since they are migratory fish, it's hard to put the same regulations on other countries. Even if one country is doing the right thing, it doesn't mean the neighboring country will follow suit :/

Welcome to fishing, long tedious work with little excitement and heavy work. But one thing most fisherman understand, help when needed if you can because someday you may need the help. If more sailors and recreational boaters still lived this way on the water things would be better and less complicated.

@jdoyle4811 5 месяцев назад

Quite a few years ago I went out fishing in Nova Scotia on the Northumberland Straight that borders Prince Edward Island as I was up from the States visiting relatives. The boat was of similar size fishing in 150 feet of water about 3-5 miles off shore with a very large trawling net. These boats come out of little harbors on the north shore of Nova Scotia with generally a Captain and a mate fishing for various species that are in season. In this case it was hake they were mating and 6, 000 lbs was brought in to the boat, which was a very good haul for the day. We ate lobsters down below as they were caught in the net but what we did not eat was thrown back in to the ocean.

Back in the 80’s and 90’s we always hired private planes to spot tuna. It’s illegal now here in Massachusettes to use planes to spot tuna breaking water and sunning before they go deep for the night. Anyway we’d get radio contact that the tuna are at this location we’d go there get on the pulpit with a spear that’s attached to a electrical lead We’d spear the fish zap it and bring it in the boat. That’s the best way to fish tuna IMO because the tuna doesn’t fight and lose all it body fat in that two hours of fighting. You always got paid the best for that style of tuna being caught.

Very low pay but you decided to keep on doing it anyway. That's very subjective Bob. My first job in 1972 paid $1.25 and hour. Low pay? Yes, by today's standards. Back then, it bought my first bike and then my first car and then my first house.

Sucks! No wonder why the kingfish numbers here in the Gulf are down with recreational anglers and has been getting harder and harder to catch them.

@podocrypto6072 5 месяцев назад

@@shrimp8004 I've been catching them for decades! But the numbers are way down! They are overfished by the commercial guys that are only looking at what their wallet looks like today, instead of the fishery having sustainability for years and generations to come.

Thanks for coming along on the journey! What I thought was only supposed to be one trip, has now turned into 4! We leave in a few days for what is supposed to our last trip out. After that I'll finally be able to edit part 2. Wish us luck!
