Big Halibut Haul - Longlining in the Gulf of Alaska - Commercial Halibut Fishing 

Thanks! So glad to hear.

That sounds absolutely delicious 😋

Thank you so much, Cindy!

@@EISAlaska eeeeee

@@EISAlaska ipeeeer

Yes, I love them too and their coopporation between them. A Happy Family,keep up and GBU All, AMEN. 🤗❤️❤️❤️👍🙏🙏🙏✝️ Borneo is Watching. 🤗🤗❤️❤️❤️🙏✝️

Oops, I read your comment right after posting mine. But glad you too know the difference. Together we'll fix the world!

😁

I was taught when filing that the fwd stroke cuts, but every 3-5 fwd strokes should be followed by a reverse stroke to clean the debris from the file teeth.

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks Peter.

Our pleasure! And well said, Bob!

Thanks Rhodora! Yelloweye are such beautiful fish. I had to come up to speed on cleaning, got rusty over the winter. 😆

Yep, Tristen is a man of few words! Lol. Thanks for the comment as always Raven!

He k no n. I nvkn k no N. N n b knn k b n be I’m n

Definitely not excited on the inside. Looks as he’d rather be home playing video games. As someone who fishes in the area, he definitely isn’t enthusiastic

Our pleasure! Yes I'm sure it was one of these, lol. Glad you enjoyed it, so great to hear feedback.

Yep! Sometimes it's hit or miss, especially on the first sets of the year. You have to find 'em first.

I agree Debbie! Thanks for watching!

Cheers Jack, we sure enjoy it.

@@EISAlaska and great to see as many fish returned as kept to keep the fishery healthy

Lol!

Lol, I meant to add that to my little voiceover at the start but then forgot. Glad to see someone reads descriptions.

Thanks Steve, its good to be back.

@@EISAlaska watching your videos takes me back to when I did it with my uncle and his wife in the 90s did it for eleven years. If one's kid started doing it now people would cry about child labor laws. It made me a better person and gave me a work ethic

You bet, thanks WIlliam!

Lol, great film. That would be terrifying though, especially because we're on a little boat.

Thanks, Brett!

More to come!

Agree, great channel nice family business

Thanks, wolf! There nothing I hate more than a cluttered messy deck. Too much stuff to trip on and get hurt.

Glad you like them! Thanks Jimmie. Best wishes to you and your family this holiday season.

My pleasure!

I really need to learn to cook them. We tried frying some once the flavor was awesome but was like chewing rubber unfortunately. We'll try again someday.

@@EISAlaska dont overcook it.

@@EISAlaska I am from far away - Bulgaria. Thanks for the nice adventure for us! I have a book about octopuses. She began by describing a case from ancient Greece. There was a good cook there. Octopuses became fantastic with him. One day he had a big client. I don't remember the name, but he was a serious man - a good man, like you. He really enjoyed the well-roasted octopus. He ate, ate, and finally got the interweaving of the charm! It is very painful. They called a doctor. The man said to him: You have messed up! There is no fix! You'll be dead in two hours! Our hero - he was spoiled a lot, but he decided that he would at least eat properly! He made a decision and said to the Master: I will die anyway! Then let me eat the head of the octopus too! At least I know I ate this deliciousness! I read the book 40 years ago, but I remember that the tentacles of the octopus before being cooked are beaten with a wooden club. To relax the muscles. Otherwise, the meat remains tough, rubber...

Thanks Curt!

Haha, nah we're pretty chill on and off camera. Quite a boring lot if I'm being honest. Sometimes we joke around talking about doing a "Deadliest Catch" sketch, get some drama going, haha!

​@@EISAlaska Nah! I'm sure that Mom keeps you all in line if and as necessary - one wave of the wooden spoon and everyone is back on their best behaviour, LOL. Seriously, to be able to do work you enjoy, even when the sets come in thin or the days are blustery with a bit of sleet in the wind, being out in that beautiful spot and with everyone in the family pitching in as needed - you are blessed. When I was a young lad and my Dad would take the Beaver on floats up to some lovely lake spot up in northern Alberta or B.C., it was always a pleasure even when there was work to be done. Often we'd be picking up one or two parties, maybe tying a canoe above each float (and chasing off the odd bear who'd climb up on a float and fall asleep in the sun (!), I never regretted any of it. For a few summers, we had a little "forward base" camp set up on a small island in one of the larger lakes, and my Mom and my uncle would "keep the camp," making breakfasts or suppers, with my uncle's Army coffee and what he nicknamed "Rum Buns" (I doubt there was much rum in 'em, but catchy name). We all worked, but it was always enjoyable. being on a beautiful lake in really pretty country. We'd see a lot of animals, but rarely had any problems. So, I have good memories of working with family, in really beautiful country. I was flying the aircraft (under my Dad's expert eye) as soon as I was tall enough to reach the pedals and see over the nose. Also got to pump out the buoyancy compartments first thing every morning, (even tied up to a pier, the float-tops were slick!), and "do the Daily" maintenance checks and routine. Very rarely had any problems - those engines were so well made, and a real pleasure to work on. Occasionally, we'd fly into Whitehorse, and occasionally up to Anchorage. It was a wonderful time to be living and working there, especially on long summer evenings, and meeting many good people along the way. I learned to always carry my bag of rocks when flying into a lake on calm days; the idea being that in order to see the lake surface properly, we'd do a pass over and toss out a rock, which changed the water surface from a flat mirror to one with nice visible ripples - the better to judge altitude when lining up to land on the water. It's surprising how easily the human eye can be fooled about the height above a flat calm surface! All the little tricks of the trade, and lessons learned the hard way by pilots in "the early days" about safe take-offs from and landings on water. Starting young, as I and others did, we were fortunate in both our 'mentors' as well as in the period. To see your family out at work on the water, as well as rebuilding your new vessel, "Emerald Isle" reminds me a lot about some of the best parts of life - being able to do what you do, with the whole family, and not just fishing but all of the other jobs (and skills) that you use or learn to do. In one respect we're lucky today - we have access to tools and materials (TIG welding and fabrication, for example), as well as modern electronics of every description. These certainly open up all kinds of new possibilities, undreamed of even just 15-20 years ago. Anyhow, enough blathering. Thank you for posting these - and all the rest - of your videos. You've developed an interesting production style and format, which makes each video something to look forward to. Thank you. E.I.S. Family - even though I'm not very good as a fisherman. But thanks to my Mum, who loved to read aloud, I did learn early in life that I agreed with the author Mr. Kenneth Grahame who wrote in his classic children's book "The Wind In The Willows," ". . . There is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats.” {I got a good chuckle while checking the spelling of the author's name. the entire paragraph was quoted in the opening of a recent paper presented in one of the regular academic & research engineering Journals published under the auspices of the world respected Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers [the IEEE Oceanic Engineering Society] in their Journal, the "IEEE OES Beacon," the March 2022 edition. I'm fairly sure that Kenneth Grahame, for whom writing children's stories was part of his evening relaxation, after his daily work as a Clerk in a large bank in London, England, ever imagined his whimsical introduction would one day be part of the opening of a Paper published in a top-level Engineering journal read world-wide, LOL}.

Các bạn đánh bắt rất được nhiều cá nhưng sao không bắt hết mà thả đi nhiều cá vẫn to vậy?

I tried to leave a lot of it in there, longer format video. Good to hear some feedback.

Hi Ralph! It's Matt replying, we tried cooking some with a quick batter once but couldn't get it to be tender. I'm thinking the leg might have been too big, (it was like a 1-1/2" disk). We'll try again sometime after learning the proper cooking technique. That sounds delicious though!

Thanks Louie! We’ve been wanting to finish up our rails, the ones on the port side we built several years ago. Just haven’t gotten around to doing the rest, hopefully soon!

Meant to say Chilly Day.

Man, that sucks, you really can't beat them for eating in my opinion.

Are you doing it yet?

No. No 1 was willing to hire me were I am😔

@@OTRAL24 I wanted to be a treasure hunter. But I also wanted to feed my family. I've been a garbage man for 20+ years and realized years ago that I am a treasure hunter. Except I get paid a regular wage and the treasure comes to me. The point of this ramble, Look at what it is about fishing that draws you to it and see if there is something else that fits that template. Not saying this is THE way, this worked for me. Good luck to you.

Yelloweye are so good!

Massive fish for sure, at least a thousand pounds I imagine!
