Awesome Catch!! - King Crab Fishing in Northern Norway 

Move back to Denmark if your heart is there, you only live once. Enjoy our beautiful ocean planet. # HeroesAtSea.

Thank you! Yes, it was a beautiful day! 👍

Hi from Norway! Yes, the pot design has been researched on for years now. There are both large collapsible pots (like the ones I use here), and smaller ones which suit a one-person boat perfectly. The pots I use here are actually quite old, from the late 90-ties. They can't really compete with more modern designs.

Yes, that is correct! The Russians put out Kamchatka king crab in their part of the cold Barents Sea. This was done in the 50'ties and 60'ties I believe. Apart from a lone visitor now and then, the crab did not spread to Norwegian waters until the 90'ties. It really is a huge and healthy biomass in this area, but still nothing compared to the Bering Sea. In the Norwegian quota area only boats under 40 feet are allowed to join. Outside the quota area it is free fishing for all, as Norway believes this to be an alien species and wants to keep biomass from spreading further.

@@norwayfishing I'm from Southern California my ancestors came from Norway 1000 years ago I'm a commercial fisherman the longer I'm on the water the better I get surfing and fishing is the way I'd love to come out there and put the smack on all that crab and sell it make a few dollars however I'm not a Norwegian citizen I've never worked on boats over 25 ft I've only worked I open Skiff boats working by myself 90% of the time I'd like to try a couple different trap designs do you have rock crab up there or crab similar to that cuz crab fishing is pretty much all I ever did I guess Sig Hansen went out there anyways maybe one day super half the year it's all time I bet I heard people are pretty nice in Norway anyways I work 7 days a week I got to get to work

Very good crab! Thank you! I have just subscribed to your channel!

Average of 3,5-4 kg pr crab... Does not take long to gain a solid load!

With patience comes reward 😘 During the length of this video, the Arctic Ocean gifts us several thousands of EUR/USD. Wanna join or is that too slow for you? 🤪

Tja...... "Søringa" også, som seg hør og bør, dersom de er kvalifisert!

Hi, yes, fishing in Norway is lucrative and nice work! If you are a resident of any EU-country, you have the same opportunity as Norwegians to buy a small boat and start fishing in Norway! In my home port of Havøysund, Finnmark, I know both Danish, German and Latvian fishermen with own smaller vessels.

@@norwayfishing I am a citizen of Ukraine living in Poland, so I am looking for a crew of sailors or a company that could hire me for a season (I will prepare the visa and other necessary documents)

​@@who6788 Sailors sail boats, Fishers work in fishing.

Because they taste good on the platter! With lemon and mayo.... I actually don't kill them, most are shipped alive to global customers.

In the quota area a maximum of 30 pots for each boat. I myself have never used that many, this season in 2021 I used 12 pots which yielded a daily catch of 600-700 kilos.

@@norwayfishing how much qouta are you allowed to catch? Is the qouta issued by the government?

@@neroyellow The quota area is east of 26E in Finnmark, Norway, close to border with Russia. In this area a limited amount of total quota issued by the government is split every year on each vessel qualified. West of 26E there are no rules so anyone can join with no limits on pots and gear used.

@@norwayfishing thanks for the information! I fish crab in Alaska on the FV Silver Spray. Just curious how things are done in different parts of the world

В России уже мордой в палубу откнули ))))))
