From Fishing Trip To Fight For Life: True Survival Story 

Who saw 76 days out at sea and then got hooked

i knew the situation wasnt good when it was just him speaking

Who else is comfortably watching this in bed?

"I prayed for a dolphin to give me a ride or somethig"...

If you have an emergency kit for instances like this, why on earth would you store it in the cabin where you wouldn’t be able to access if an emergency occurred?

*that moment when you realise only one of the guys are speaking about what happened...*

My best friend and I sound a lot like these two. We've been best friends for 30 years and we do all sorts of hunting and fishing together, including off-shore fishing. This story hits home, because this could easily be him and me.

Ken: I'm a master diver and survival expert, but let's just forget all that- we'll follow Ed's plan.

What a good man/person he is... Sorry he lost his friend . I cant even imagine how scary it must be to be one of these ppl that get stranded bobbing in mid of the ocean... The thought of it overwhelms me!

How heart breaking. I hope he doesn't arbor guilt. He did all he could and it was an impossible situation. Blessings and peace to both families.

The older guy should have taken charge and forced his friend to swim to the oil rig at the beginning!

Absolute super human effort by Ken and Ed to stay alive that long and Ken swim that far. Ken did the right thing by leaving and going for help. Sometimes you need to help yourself. It was probably the swimming that helped stave off the hypothermia for just long enough. My biggest fear was he reach the oil rig and there was no ladder or platform to climb on.

The moment he said 'my wife calls him the other husband', I knew how this was going to end.

I wish Ed had swimmed to the rig when it was first suggested. They would have gotten out of there in no time.

Something isn't right about this one.... He knows more than what he's telling us.

So many stupid decisions, first, they should've not leave the platform before knowing why the boat was taking on water, second , there are no excuses on not taking their life saving bag...

Anytime you hear of a marine’s journey, It just radiates sheer willpower and that’s inspiring in so many different ways.

Something is not right about this. 🙏🏽

If my expert trained diver friend says swim to the rig I would do so. I can't imagine choosing floating away, cold, over a dry oil rig.

8:38 save your energy??My guy, this is the best time to use it.

It makes no sense that they couldn't grab the emergency ditch bag. That is the ONE thing that you do!

It was really really dumb.....to not go to the rig the moment the boat sank

So much for the wife springing into action.

Boat mysteriously sinks fast, ken had credentials in boat safety, ken owned the the 30 foot boat, no alarms go off as boat floods, ken ends up 54 miles away, other man didn't want to swim to near by platform they had just left, neither gets the survival gear, both were experienced boaties/outdoors men, wife doesn't notify authorities, all sounds a little fishy too me 😂

RIP Ed This is a very sad story 🙁 The last bit when he kissed the girls made me tear up

YES! Fight to Survive! This this the 2nd best show ever, after- well, you know. That show that shall not be named.

Awwww so sad at the End.. 😢 his family has to be devastated, may he Rest In ☮️ peace ✌️

I’m comfortably watching this at my desk!

So, my boat is sinking and I’m near an abandoned oil platform that isn’t sinking....hmmmm, Let’s drive away from a safe platform 👍

He called his wife first instead of calling 911 right away to let them know his friend was at risk of dying at sea. Great "friend".

Wonder please bring back I shouldn’t be alivestream back for studying. Was my favourite thing to watch on RU-vid try a water focused livestream if you do especially the helicopter rescue one with the large waves and army man

😢 so sad! He did everything he could, Ed knows, and he lives on in the memories and through his children. RIP in the loving arms of Jesus🙏🏻✝️

Why do I get the feeling this dude killed 'his best friend'? For one I'd love to know how a brand new boat sinks. Secondly, IF it starts to sink, why would you drive away from a perfectly solid platform? And then there's his body language.......................

It dont make sence how there wasnt time to get essentials but they managed to save a bottle of coke

Ken deserves a sea swimming medal. I've binged watched a lot of these survival at sea stories, and no one actually is able to swim to an oil rig successfully. He accomplished the seemingly impossible.

This man Ken is an incredible man! He has so much strength and had the wisdom to call on the Lord for help. You can hear the sweetness in his voice. Ken, you will see your friend again in heaven! You did the right thing.

Title: These Men Survived 🤔🙄 RIP ED

I would have been embarrassed to have a film made about myself.With all his apparent knowledge on safety and the equipment he had he failed at every possible stagee of the event..it was for me also embarressing to watch too

Why didn't his wife call them in as missing?

Man is legendary. My heart!!!

So if it's a newly bought, refurbished boat with an experienced seaman who's checked it all over....why'd it take on water so quickly. Lots of unanswered questions there.

for all his preparations, he forgot to take the most important things - a handheld waterproof vhf radio, and 5 litres of water, more important than flares, whistles, spare lifejackets etc. Also, the very first thing you would do when you see the boat is sinking, is get your grab bag, you are better off sinking with the boat than leaving your grab bag behind. Also, see the boat is sinking, drive away from the platform, boat sinks and don’t swim back to the platform - what?

Oh my heart hurts for him. This show is so good❤️❤️

Master survivalist, LOL They didn't secure their emergency provisions when the ship was taking on water. But most dumb of all they didn't stay on the oil rig to wait for help.

Thanks for reposting these tv shows to youtube i mean it so we can watch these when ever i want and i love this series keep it up 👍

Who else has soooo many questions for this guy and his wife who’s a 911 operator and didn’t call anyone??????

I live in Florida so this tragic loss pierced my God bless you you and your family

Yessss finally i missed these man these were why i watched

This guys wife was cheating on him notice she said the friend is like her other husband. So she and Ed tried to get insurance money by killing her husband but it went wrong . That’s how I see it this story doesn’t add up

Early for once love this show

Awww this story is so sad RIP Ed ❣

OK can someone tell me why the heck they left the dry old platform they were fishing near it and go deeper into the ocean? At 4:08 they were practically touching it, they could have waited for rescue on that platform, at least would have been dry!!!

Should of swam for the rig asap when they had energy

Sooooooooooooo, boat starts sinking, leaves only source of dry land by motoring away from it? 🤦🏻‍♂️

My favorite series besides "I Shouldn't Be Alive".

This is the first one that made me cry😭😭😭😭!!!! Ed♥️

Hold up, so they was a platform next to were the boat sank what they could of climbed up the ladder to wait for help , and ed just wants to stay there? Sounds fishy...

Boat is sinking common sense tells you secure your life saving equipment.

I've watched tens of episodes by now but only this one has made me tear up by the end.. As the song goes. He ain't heavy, his my brother.

That ending got the tears going....

Adipose tissue plays a very important role in a situation like this, making sure that you don't lose too much heat & providing the body with energy. That's the reason this guy is still alive.

I’m sure people are gonna come for me for saying this but I feel like Ken shoulda skipped the food and calling his wife and called the coast guard himself to save his friend, it’s clear that seconds and minutes counted here.

Damn. That tugs at the heart strings

I am so sorry for your loss and for his children's loss. This is very sad.

I do between 8,000 and 10,000 miles in the ocean deep sea fishing every year and I got a feeling that ocean is gonna get me one day

“ the adventure becomes a nightmare “ What’s your favorite line of narrator? 😎

In tears by the end...

I don't get why they left the rig, then decide not to swim to it straight away . RIP Ed

Good lord this episode got me right in the feels big time. That poor guy has to live with that decision for the rest of his life. He absolutely did the right thing but I’m SURE he wrestles with it constantly. Sad ending, I hope everyone involved is doing good these days

Idk why his wife didnt call 911 within the 1st day smh..

Why didn’t they swim back to we’re the boat was docked before it sank or even got into it while they new water was starting to flood

Twist: Ken actually set up Ed by tampering with the boat because Ed was sleeping with ken’s wife. Anyone find it fishy that the boat goes down so quickly and 100 yards away from a platform. Ed never decided to swim or even paddle when ken is trying to go for help. Just seems fishy to me that considering they are surrounded by Rigs Ed never agrees to go with ken to one.

So.... the wife never called to report her husband missing? 🙄

The video title should've been "What not to do if your boat is SINKING"

the Ocean is no place to get caught off guard in, it is unforgiving, I'm happy at les one of these guys made it home safely.

ED, THIS BOAT IS DEFINITELY GOING TO SINK! DO YOU THINK WE SHOULD RETRIEVE THE LIFE RAFT IN THE BOW OF THE BOAT. NO, JUST PUT YOUR LIFE JACKET ON AND ABANDON THE BOAT.

How convenient ie phone out of range, perfectly good boat takes on water, both engines die etc and left perfectly good platform, didn’t have time for emergency kit, left his mate behind etc hmmm.

Pretty suspicious circumstances, I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a secret or two

Greatest channel and show online 2020.

God bless America, god bless these men and there families..

Ed is gone and Ken's got a lot of 'splainen to do ! All sounds very fishy to me. Maybe should be a criminal investigation !

Assuming the actual boat is the one at 3:17 from home video. I know this boat, I owned one identical. Looks like a Wellcraft Scarab Sport 302. It's a 30' center console with twin outboard engines. Quite a different boat than the one used in this recreation video. The one in this production is roughly the same length but it is a Sea Ray cabin cruiser with inboard engines. But at the end of the day, a sinking boat is a sinking boat. There should have been a bunch of stuff that would have floated when the open center console sunk. These guys likely had a cooler full of beer, drinks and food and another full of bait. Never the less, as a life long boater myself. If I were tied to an oil rig or any other solid structure and the boat started taking on water, I would not leave the safety of the platform. I would try to fix the problem there and if the boat still went down at least it would be tied to the rig and we would be dry. You can always retrieve things from the sunk boat if it's tied well to the rig, it will only be a few feet under water. In fact if the boat were sinking I would use every line I had to tie it to the rig.

This one got tears in my eyes

Poor guy, he must have a lot of guilt on his mind, but his friend is now with the Lord. x God bless him.

As much as only one person was speaking, I was hoping the other survived too and just didn’t want to talk on camera. It’s so sad to think he died alone.

Catch a ride on a dolphin???? That’s about as far from reality as you can get.

You try your best to fine help for your best friend God bless you sir

SOLID FROM PHILIPPINES STAYSAFE EVERYONE GODBLESS

wait, they're TROPHY HUNTERS and I'm supposed to feel sorry for them? I don't think so!

Well..Now I was expecting him to have a pulse after all, or that they had the wrong person and he actually made it to shore. Dang :/

A Beautiful story Thank You for sharing 🙏.

These guys are true best friends

Invest in a EPIRB and keep it on your person when away from the dock.

No emergency raft...you drove away from an oil rig knowing your boat sinking, these guys panicked

It's so sweet that he called his wife first, knowing thay she could take over from there ❤ Edit; just seen the ending 😢😢😢

I love sea movies ❤ True horror when they have a problem 😘 Thats why i stay on land 😎

This boat with all its fixing sounds like the Titanic.

Why didn't the wife call the coast guard right away when he was overdue?? Waited until he called her?? Makes no sense...

Watching this on a boat right b4 service goes out.

This made me tear Sad story
