Commercial salmon fishing in Crawfish Inlet, Alaska. 

Why do I have to use a rod and reel. And where is the survival of the fittest

Thank you. great insight.

Nice is a misnomer," interesting" or "fun" maybe. This is fish FARMING anyway …

@@vincent7520 It is a massacre, and we eat that.

@@Thouveninpascal Have ever cast a net in the wild open sea or a river ? Jesus made the same with his miracle catch.

@@Thouveninpascal Maybe u would feel better eating a handful of grass with your whine. You admitted to eating 'that', so you contribute to the massacre. hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

They probably made a few thousand off this

The boat as a whole anyway

It's called plunging. When the other end of the net is first brought back to the boat the only gap is under the boat. So they plunge to keep the fish from escaping under the boat.

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!! 😅😅

PURE GREED!

These are salmon. Read up on salmon stocking and harvesting, and how they keep the numbers up. These fish are hatched and released into the wild, and then they are caught at the end of their lifetime. They only live about 5 years and then die. It would be a crime if they were not eaten and just left to rot after they reproduced.

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.

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

what is the name of the tool used to tap water??

@@lucianofreitas3337 plunger

I’m thinking that’s where the saying comes from ”down the hatch!” 😃

@@kenpohanis5211 Yeah! Reckon walking the plank's a cleaner drowning than that muck.

what

@@kenpohanis5211 AZ

@@kenpohanis5211 àAaà!I

Damn i thought he was sloppy

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. :)

@@Benglator1 anytime

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 😁

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.

100000 месяц. Зарплата.

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!

It's to drive the salmon down toward the bottom of the net, to keep any from jump over and out the net

no. the first fish actually appears at 2:59

@@wrenchaholic Think of all the innocents tame badger has deceived.

mushy as fuck because they are barred up garbage chums.

Mainly just used for there eggs bruh. If you eat Chum then you should understand the best. An as far as texture goes from King & Sockeye and then you go and take a bite out of chum Salmon or humpy. The demand for chum eggs is thee most sought after eggs out off all the salmon than any other salmon. The rest of the fish usually is fertilizer or pet food. So to say that your chum was MORE mushy because of the fisherman "walked all over". I think is was more mushy because just in general all the fish were in spawn phase of there life so they changed colors (from the fish going up a creek into fresh water then some of them come back out of the creek when the tied goes out.). Anyways these guys did a good job of working together and also for catch a telephone pole. Well note to all: that you could have a side job selling firewood after all the twigs and branches and logs you accumulate throughout the day. An if your skiff man helps you out then chances are your skipper won't be on board with your side job. Those weren't "DIVING DOGS". Those must have been sleeping dogs haha jk. Thanks for sharing the video. We just put our net away and the bait shed is on and ready to head out longlining (60k lbs of Halibut & 40k lbs of Black Cod) and then it's time to prepare for a short and we'll needed / wanted vacation. The price of dogs (chum) this year went up to $1.20 lb so that 60,000 lbs set right there, today would had made each deckhand (full crew share of 10%). Would had made you a little over $7,000 each. So that I would say would be a very good payday for about 30 minutes worth of work not counting the off load time once you hit the tender! Nice job fellas!

im told they cut their heads of too! pusscakes!!

@@micjam1986 These are chum. you don't buy these whole some gets canned some gets smoked most go to pet food it is pretty low grade. you want to eat sockey, coho or chinook. maybe pinks, but not chum I throw them back or use em for halibut bait

Was thinking exactly the same thing

No system in place ... Lack of giving a damn or greed to get nets out again?

I agree. If this was beef, pork, or chicken they would of been shut down long ago.

Yup

He is making noise to keep the fish away from the opening under the boat.

They don't swim in the hold. They suffocate and die .

@@Dawgreen oh dear! Another childhood missgiving unearthed. Thankyou Dawgreen for unveiling more of my innocents for all to see, INCLUDING MY SILLY SELF! 🇭🇲🤗🤣🤣 Have a good one!

The chum salmon market is 99.9% canned fish.

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

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!

Yep

God bless you Raj Mohan for saying that

a cup at the end of the stick makes a popping sound that's supposed to scare the fish back into the nets and from swimming out the open end of the net before they close it up by lifting it.

Nah you don’t buy those kinda salmon

You're gonna love the beef industry then lol.

@@philipkeeler9997lol

Don’t be such a fucking puss

haha pussyass

Yes they will. Thanks to hatcheries and conservation, there are more of them around today then there ever were. Read up on the salmon fishery. Also these salmon are canned and not the best ones for eating.

Calm down candy pants. The fish will be fine 😂

That's pretty funny.

This is not a natural return. These fish are all raised/released at this site specifically and explicitly for commercial harvest when they return as adults.

To Aaron Teuscher: Just look at a RU-vid video on how many times the earth has been nuked by countries, with the U.S.A. doing the most damage.

That’s what she said

He was hitting water with it. To get remaining fish in the net. Before they close the net

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.

All i see are a bunch of dipshits netting fish

Yep- but still working hard and too many fishies making dumbass comments....

I'm curious too.....

I'm not sure what you are calling "damage". Purse seining is actually very easy on the bodies. These are dog salmon. The main purpose for these is the Asian row market.

Absolutely nothing is wasted. Not all of it is destined to a cold case near you. And all the resulting by products provide excellent fertilizer for the organic farmers. Nothing is wasted

Films actions

Oui

@@rogue40 Taking a pristine product and damaging it is never an improvement to profitability.

Alaska has a limit on how big the fishing vessels can be for salmon. 58 feet for seiners. Hence, the term limit seiners.

@@deweyhobie …thanks.

why did you irrelevantly bring your life story into a video about fishing lol

LOL, we try our best!

put it back so the next fisherMAN can catch it...Fing moron

That is sooo clever 🤣🤣🤣🤗🤗🇭🇲🤗

free range duglas fir...no shortage of em.

@@johnceyesdaby no. a moron would put it on board.

This form of fishing is non invasive plus you also have to think about the thousands and thousands of hatcheries in alaska aswell

Very nice.I veri qled see look

Oh yeah been there done that wrestling matches in the Gurry. I used to love those smashed Humpies at the bottom.

Josefina Rivera hello JoSa!

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 🙄 🤣

I thimk it's to scare the salmon in to staying down deep to make the net pulling a bit easier ?

It makes noise to keep the fish away from the boat. There's a small gap when you're pulling the net in underneath the boat.

There eggs! There eggs are the most sought after out of all the salmon that the eggs is what makes these fish so worth the effort. This year dogs (chum) went for $1.20 a lb and they average about 5-12 pounds. I read somewhere that this was about 60,000 pound set which if it was then each "bag" they filled would be about 10,000 lbs. The reason to fill the bags is because if they tried to bring them all on board at once would roll the boat and or they would come over the rails. Anyways I hope that answered some of your questions.

Very good for your fising

GB to. Me

Nice set and really well handled by the crew!

Aqui no Brasil nem sei mais o valor. Só passo vontade. Um absurdo o preço

They have quota limit, don't worry about that

These are salmon. They only live about 5 years and then reproduce and die. They constantly monitor the numbers of these fish, and raise eggs in hatcheries then release them into streams. I visit a hatchery every year to check on the young ones that I will be fishing for in the following years at the end of their lives.

these are high maintenance boats... repairs on the nets, fuel costs, fishing permits, coast guard certifications, food on board, engine repairs and upgrades, radar's and other electronics, plus the high wages for those who work on the boats and run the gear. alot of these guys can only work when Fish & Game Departments say its allowed, and even then this can be only 2 or 3 openings , and depends on how many hours the opening is. there is alot that goes into this type of work ... and work it is... trust me, you would rather dig a ditch then work on these boats as a green horn...lol

These are not the salmon you buy in the store or at a restaurant. These are chum salmon being harvested right in front of the hatchery, primarily for their eggs. The flesh is pretty low quality at this point compared to ocean fish. At best they get canned or smoked, but they're never going to be found at a nice restaurant near you.

@@caskillet hmm okay. Thanks.

@@donnyinalaska all fisherman need to use money for everything. Fuel, maintenance, labor, etc, etc.

@@chefemjay . agreed... I use to commercial fish from Petersburg ,Alaska , Frederick Sound all the way up to Port Alexander Alaska...

Hi there, it’s called plunging. Making loud noises under water theoretically scares the salmon back into the net.

@@aaroncherry2993 oooo thats cool

it's trying to get on board with its mates xd

It’s “commercial fishing”

હિદૂતાન વાણ

Those are Chum salmon. Just good for the eggs. Japanese eat them. The meat is near unfit to eat. They are the least desirable salmon. I didn't know salmon were in rivers in Germany. That's interesting. These Chum salmon are not.

Chum is least desirable of salmon but it still tastes better and is healthier to eat then any farmed salmon. I have been eating fresh, canned, frozen, dried and smoked Chum(dog) salmon my whole life. Also, it is still sold in grocery stores all around the U.S.

The meat is most certainly fit to eat. Would i rather eat Chinook(king) salmon, yes, of course. But their numbers are dwindling because they are the best, so they cost more.

Chums are a no brainer. They school together like idiots. Just circle them.
