It would be simple to have safety belts attached bt cable or other strapping substance then anchored to the deck of the boat to prevent fishermen/crew from being thrown overboard.
Christian Vaughan if the boat flips your getting eaten by the squid... he already mentioned that so it doesn’t matter if the boat flips or not you’re dead if you go into the water in that area
Fishing can be a high intensity environment with men crossing from one direction of the boat to the other, crossing paths could cause the cables to become entangled and possibly result in injury from falling.
I remember my 6th grade teacher named Ms. Humboldt who gave my class a whole rundown about how her grandfather discovered and named this squid after them. Pretty cool.
Nearly got a facefull of ink when he pulled that thing out the water. The shot right before it when it was spraying in defense, that ink looked like some pretty nasty stuff.
Y'know it's cool that he wants to put the creatures back but considering he's on a fishing boat wouldn't it have been a better gesture to give it to the crew?
Now that I’ve seen how difficult it was for them to shoot this part, my respect has increased tenfold. Especially for Kelly, the director. Love me a badass queen ❤️
I remember those years. I worked on a purse seiner out of Westport, WA. We targeted sardines, but caught about 100 Humboldt squid one day. They were mixed with the sardines, had to pitch the squid back overboard. Heavy bastards
@@So_Sag if this shit was available back in when I graduated it wouldn't be as hard to do things, there wasnt any help back then like there is now. In 2013 my final year of HS, technology was extremely banned from schools they threatened to take your phone, keep it for a year 😂 which my parents would never allow that. See kids back then we didnt have RU-vid in 6th grade to look up how to do math or something we had to tough that shit out. I didnt see a smartphone till I was in 7th or 8th grade and that's when the iphone came out and the only kid who had it was the millionaire parents kids.
@@HeLIEl shit i feel that, i cant even imagine what it was like in the good ole days of no technology, privacy out the ass and everything had to be done with brains, common sense and skill.
That's what I always liked about Mr. Jeremy Wade...the biologist out weights the angler...u also learn many things about the catch and not just the how to of it...and the one time he let the people win out in keeping the catch was out of respect for local tribal culture...
Has someone noticed that the squid at 5:33 kept changing its color to match that white ledge and then the ship floors? That's some fast camouflaging! It was like less than a second! And that thing was surely in panic mode lol
It says a lot of just how horrible the currents are if the captain and his crew have already done it a dozen times before, yet still manage to get seasick.
Ye never know what kind of beast lies in the deep. The only guarantee is that there is a beast that lies in the deep. Now picture the vastness of space as an ocean. Woops!
Once water is over your head, it’s all the same. That’s what my aunt, an open water swimmer taught me. I’m a strong swimmer but I’m still terrified of deep water 🥴
He said so this is the beast but that was a small one. Ive heard Humboldts can be 6 ft. If you look at their beak, jagged hooks on their arms, their aggressiveness and extreme intelligence you might not worry about the Humboldts so much but what about a giant squid up to 50 ft. They have proven it exists.
What makes squid scarier than a shark is that they are much more smart and calculating. They have problem solving capabilities with the same frenzy instinct as a shark. 😭
The deep sea definitely scares me but I believe its the giant squids that actually gets me... I know it could definitely just be my imagination but you could never be so sure about how big one of these damn squids can actually be... we just dont know... and its frickin terrifying.
The "coming to a beach near you" line is no joke. I'm from Vancouver Island Canada in the Pacific Northwest and back in 2006 we had a flood of humboldt squid migrate to the western side of the island. The dead ones were washing up on the beaches in the hundreds for at least a month...
For Humboldt's you only have to go to the sea of Cortez. They fish for squids, I dove with one that I happened on. It was trying to drag me down, and it was strong. Humboldt's scare me way more than sharks.
I only saw it clearly for a few seconds. And everything looks a little bigger under water. It looked like he was 5 ft long and at first it was cool to see it swimming. Then it decided I was chow and in a second it clammed on to my left thigh and started pulling me down. After it latched on to me I think it was more like 3 ft. The whole time it was flashing red and feel it chewing threw my wet suit. I was at 90 ft so I inflated my bc and that was the only reason he couldn't get me down and gave up and left. I am really grateful their wasn't two or more I would not have made it. The locals warned about diving deep at night in open waters. Hopefully you live and learn.
I thought about it my knife was on my right calf. I was to busy pulling it's tenticles off me. I could feel it chewing so I started to panic a little. I was worrying about it getting through my wetsuit. To tell you the truth my dad always said if you run into any critter's that you think is big enough that you need to use your knife. It's already too big and all your going to do is piss it off.
I’m pretty sure the fisherman knew he was going to throw them back and they were compensated quite a bit just to bring him along. If they literally paid the cost for every squid he threw back plus extra for their inconvenience having to babysit him and the camera crew why would they care.
Gotta give him credit for making monsters out of minnows and catastrophes out of the commonplace. I'm guessing he often announces that the sky is cracked and near collapse every day he collects his "deadly" newspaper from the driveway.
OMG! The river monster guy has graduated to the SEA! But those squid aren't really deadly! They could bite you, but that's about it! And you can bite them, and I hear they are delicious!
Little late here, but BS, Humboldt Squid are f*cking dangerous- you fall overboard into a ravenous swarm of these things, they’ll drag you down and shred you with their beaks and tentacles- think of them as the squid version of Piranha..
I spent 6 months on a NOAA fisheries research ship in the Eastern Tropical Pacific - we would stop for water testing each night and also go fishing. I have pulled in squid like these but have seen others at least 5 feet in length. Scarry.
