To the skipper of the bjorn 2, Linda Greenlaw, just because you may come back with no fish or a small load doesnt mean you should lose your boat or your position. You are a veteran of the sea and you proved yourself many years as a Captain and sword fisherperson. Sometimes fishing doesnt go the way you want but thats why they call it fishing. You also survived the perfect storm and that in itself speaks of your seamanship so hold your head high and be proud because you deserve it and youve earned it. Im a seafarer myself from Canada having sailed many years on the geeat lakes and you are a hero of mine. Thanks Captain Linda!!!😊
Not surprised the Big Eye has new deckhands or that there is already shady financial shit going on before they even get out of port. Chompers is a criminal. Here is hoping he goes out of business after this season.
Chompers is the most despised Capt on the East Coast and when teamed up with his fiance. They're known as the cheapest boat that will rip off their crew any chance they can get.
Those old guys arent gonna be able to handle the roll and bounce of the bjorn that sled is gonna give them shaken baby syndrome😂 no outriggers= beating
Poor linda was an awsome fishermen back in the day but it seems like between her crew and falling out of the groove a bit she has the deck stacked against her everytime she sails👽
The latest ICCAT stock assessment (2017) determined North Atlantic swordfish are not overfished and are not subject to overfishing. One of the few examples of stock recovery via management. Shoulda picked a different fish to complain about lol.
Some pretty ill shit.he got thrown out of my home port of pt Judith RI for it.the fish house and town cops told him his boat him and his crew are not welcome
When Linda leaves, notice the boat behind her. He's over about 50 feet and doesn't bottom out. That is why it's always important to watch your depth finder, and if possible, leave during a higher tide
I've done all kinds of fishing truhart auditioning work at Long Beach for fishing for so many years for fishing at some winter time commercial fishing for red snapper at long lining experience I have many years I don't get seasick and I don't complain all I want to do is go out and pitch make money that's a plus God I would love to to do this just once in my life fish just love me I like a magnet for fencing
Japanese boats in the North Atlantic? I mean I get they as a people love seafood but to steam that far? Seams they would have a tough time making money with all the fuel they would burn. I’d like to know more about how that works.
All the times I've watched this series and I know it's from 10/11 years ago, but seeing that Chumps is from North Carolina and is a coastal boat. Why didn't his country ass just in North Carolina like them OBX boys do now.
Yeah I'm just an old Salty Dog been pitching since I was 5 years old icing 40 to 50 foot swells on my way to Alaska I then from the East Coast West Coast and Alaska I've got a hell of it to 300 lb The Rock on record long line and I know it it's hard to find somebody that's a good deck hand I don't mind being called a greenhorn and you can scream and holler at me all you want I'm good I'm good with who I am and I know it will catch the fish no matter what bullet I'm on
Scott should've never told Linda his favorite spot now she will be on it make money lol also chomps is homeless now he his boat got broken up and no one want to work with him why well he doesn't pay lol also he makes crew work like salves hell naw word on the Street his wife left him for butters lol
It's not about that young lady getting about from her family,it's about what that ship create,4000 gallons of fuel is 30 thousand dollars,bait 3000,maintance parts in the thousands,employees in the thousands.Seems to me she is making a huge investment in her community.What are you doing for URS.😜😜😜
How is Linda a legendary captain as they like to call her when she can't even catch more then 10 fish unless she follows the real legendary captain around Scotty it's pathetic she fails by her self look at last season
and 10years later, people will be wondering why it is so hard to catch sailfish... No offense, i do love watching it, its like wicked tuna, dramatic, fun, and challenging.. But, in my country, in most country in south east Asia, sailfish is protected animal according to the law.. So, when you catch a sailfish, you are not allowed to bring it home or cook it or kill it, so you have to release the fish again,... Let's say in Kuala Rompin (Malaysia), its easy to get a sailfish since the law is applied there.. Im a not a fisherman, but i do love fishing.. When you catch sailfish with rod, its incredibly amazing, seeing the fish fights back at you, jumping up and running away from your boat, it's an amazing moment you aint gonna get daily.. So when the fish finally gave up, we dont drag the fish to our boat, but we only take pictures while the fish still in the water, then we release it back.. So in future, our grandchildren will have the chance to experience those moment again.. But the way i see American catches those fish, you wont see sailfish anymore in 20-30years later.. You might, but it wont be as much as what you can get today.. And please, dont bring your boat to South East Asia in future if you are running out of sailfish, we will ensure you our sailfish wont end up on your boat.. Just keep shooting your channel from your soil... Cheers!
These aren’t sailfish. Swordfish. Both bill fish but different species. Good on you guys for the rules on sailfish. We protect our marlin now and bluefin tuna quota is way down. We need to get rid of long liners still. Rod and reel fishing is sustainable. Not long line.
$40,000 COST to Leave the Dock, before they even make a PENNY ??Bull shit .... If you need that much money to sail .. you are doing something wrong .. He must be counting the LOAN on his Boat, and his House as well . thats just ridiculous for such a small boat ..
$40k to cover a seasons expenses isn't bull shit. That's not per trip, but for them to cover expenses for a season it's certainly possibly $40k is the number.
@@JeffSmith-eq3kc So thats like an average persona saying " it costs me $8,000 to leave my Driveway to go to work " ? .... yeagh if I add up for the whole YEAR , gasoline , insurance, repairs ,Tolls , Tires etc ... .. so I get your point ... but its MIS LEADING ..as they dont Break it down for what it costs EACH time they leave the dock ... which is probably around $2,000-$3000 MAX What it costs in a Year is not relevant ...because they are discussing each TRIP . The Alaskan Crab guys do exactly THAT ... " Groceries $2,500" for example ... they dont say " groceries cost us $50,000 because no one gives a shit what it costs for the YEAR and it would be meaningless .
I know these videos are 15 years old Linda I have a lot of respect for you as a captain you've been through a lot in your career and I can appreciate that. Dave on the other hand drama Queen I know he's your friend but he look like a P*** on camera.
I noticed. You dont show the crew, beating the fish on the head several times. In order to kill it, before dragging it up on board. Why dont you show the world, just exactly goes on...?
@@JeffSmith-eq3kc No. I wouldn't want a 300lb anything thrashing around trying to kill me, in order to get away. However, that's not my point. Show the beating over the head of the fish. Its the facts.
This is so hard to watch, I can't stand seeing commerical fishing just slaughtering a species like this. They catch more in 1 night than 50 recreational fishermen will catch in a year. Absolutely terrible.
@@redflametech If you were not a snowflake you would accept that commercial fishing in the U.S. is a highly regulated industry backed by massive amounts of data.
@@321gates I have been around the gulf my entire lift, every person i have ever known talk about commercial fishing take double their quot all the time, and then they cry that they can't make a living ont he quota they are given so they get extended another equivalent quota and the lie cheat and steal for more. It might be regulated, but it's damn sure not policed, i have know enforcment officers and they bust a small portion of the cheating, but there is no way they can get them all. It's also mostly regulated and there is a lot of buddy deal BS where someone knows someone that gave favoratism to some politicans friend in the name of some quota that is then used or sold off to someone else, there is so much crap going on in that industry, and if you have anything to do with commercial fishing, then you know damn well it doesn't get policed nearly at all. They are too busy writing tickets for some rec fisherman who has 1 trout that is 1/4' too short while the commercial boats roll through with millions of pounds of fish and they can't even contorl what size they catch and keep, large, small, brood stock, doesn't matter, they all go into the the hold and get hauled to be sold. I bet you wouldn't call me a snowflake to my face you scumbag. I hate people like you, you're either a troll or you are the scourge of the earth lying cheating thief. Regulated my ass
@@redflametechYou're leaving one very important factor out of that lengthy rant … DATA! Do you really think those amped up scientists/animal crusaders are going to let a species of animal go extinct because of (in this instance) overfishing? If they had their way, there would be no hunting or fishing, PERIOD. My gawd, last I checked the gator was still on the protected species list, backed by huge penalties for poaching. I'm 5th generation Floridian so I've met your type in abundance. Your problem (as a sport fisherman) is not the "slaughtering of a species" from an ecological standpoint, but rather from a "that's less fish to put on my boat" standpoint. I get that, I do. But, your weekend boat isn't contributing near to the economy that the commercial fishing boats are. It's a balance that neither side will ever be completely happy with, unfortunately. The snowflake remark was made because you did not express your gripe in enough detail, therefore your post resembled that of an uneducated tree hugger. Just a misunderstanding, I believe.
yup that electrician needs to go hes not cut out for this sword fishing hell i bet i can do so much better thn this whimp my dddy ws a fishermen for 31 years i used to help him out
