Son’s First day Lobster Fishing - He THREW $1,000 OVERBOARD! 

6th generation. Let that sink in. That’s pretty amazing. Family tradition for decades ❤

A dad investing in his kid is one thing, but the best friends of that dad ALSO investing in the kid is just magic. This is how young men are made.

Watching Jacob and his son really melted my heart. He showed such love and patience, and the crew was right beside him in that. What a great memory

I admit this is one of the great things about social media, you captured what will be great memories to be able to be re-lived at any point in time! Thanks for letting us be part of it.

Loved that Jayce was so conscientious that he measured each lobster to make sure that it was truly a keeper. Already thinking about the seventh generation. 🥰

gotta love grandpa "jake you call me on cb" all pissed, as soon he heard the grand kid voice, right away. Yup parents love their grandkids more than their own kids 🤣

You made me cry with this one. I didn't have a father...and seeing you work with your son and beside your dad made my heart burst. I pray that your entire family have prosperity, health and an abundance of blessings throughout your lives.😇❤️

100% best episode. I know Grandpa will be eager to take Jayce out now that you guys know he can handle a whole day on the boat too, that will make some great memories!

The smile on your boys face when you handed him that lobster was priceless . Only a father can understand, appreciate . It's beautiful thing to be able introduce and hand down such a way of life to your children . Your living the dream man please never take it granted .

Patience & consistency are VERY important when raising a child. You're an awesome dad, Jacob. ❤

It is so wonderful to see a little guy that is so curious and engaged with his surroundings, he wants to do everything that he sees. It’s so refreshing to see and hear a little with good manners, not whining and freakin out and demanding. Sign of excellent parenting, congratulations to you and the Mrs. That’s a long day for your little guy and I hope it’s the first of many. I love that Papa wants him on his boat too. FANTASTIC day guys, thanx for sharing and letting me live vicariously. Love&friendship from landlocked Edmonton Alberta CANADA 🇨🇦

Jacob this might have been your best video yet - 6th gen. teaching him to respect and love the creatures of the sea and the birds in the sky all with love and kindness. Maybe he’ll be the next barnacle buster. Thanks for sharing his maiden voyage.

Your love of the sea and your profession is only eclipsed by the love for your son. Such a beautiful video.

That just may be one of the best RU-vid videos I've ever watched!! What a great day to have captured on video. Your boy did great. He will always remember his times on the boat just like you. Cheers to you and the crew for taking him with you!

Your son is a cutie patootie!!! I love that he is potentially the 6th generation fisherman. You're a great Dad Jacob...and I love how your lil man is stirring up memories for you too...thanks for sharing your family w/ me...God bless...

This is so wholesome. I love how he was standing in the box. How all of you treated him like the child he is, so adorable. How you called ur father and how he wasn't annoyed after realising who he was talking to. Love how you said that you will support him no matter what he choses. This is so cute. Your son is so adorable and so well mannered too. Your wife and you are doing a really great job raising him.

Jayce is adorable, bright and confident - it was fun watching him enjoy his day with you. Someday, he might be repeating this with his own kids. It's awesome there have already been 5 generations carrying on your work and looks like number 6 is in the works! A fine family tradition. 🙂

These memories he'll cherish forever bless him ❤️ Nothing like a day with your dad doing what he does learning the ropes ❤❤

I loved watching Jacob interact with his son. I'm honored that we got to watch Jayce’s first time out with Dad and the crew. Jacob, I'm glad you will support your son no matter what he decides to do as an adult. All parents should be like you.

Great to see a son loving being with his dad. May you and your family be blessed .

Gives a whole new meaning to "Take your child to work day" Jacob, this is priceless! loved that your crew was encouraging Jason as well. Great Job and you're a great Dad!

The other good thing is that he's got a whole video of his first ever day. That's awesome.

had a smile on my face the whole video. Nothing beats father-son day

What a fun day for your son - you can tell he adores you, beautiful!😂❤

Crew was great helping with your son to have a memorable positive trip.

Wonderful seeing Jacob interacting with his son. God BLESS.

Just when you thought this channel couldn't get more wholesome. Best wishes to you and your family! You're killing it!

He has your smile! Can't deny that little boy is yours! He’s a cutie… and 6th generation? WOW!!! Impressive! With the birth of my great niece, we now have 8 generations on our family farm!

00:23 He already has the 1000 yard stare that fishermen and sailors get from being at sea for too long 😊😂😂

My church gets socks and boxers from bambos by the thousands and they donate them to us to give out to the homeless and to give to our disciples that come off the streets and struggle with addiction and spiritual battles so you guys are buying them and you're helping us out all the way in California we appreciate it and God bless you

Jacob, hats off to ya for being a cool dad, and person on social media. Great role model to look up to.

Your son is such a beautiful child! He will remember and appreciate going to work with you all his life. My father took me to work with him when I was 7 or 8 (he was teaching flight training to foreign military students at that point). I even remember the diagram he drew and explanation he gave of the physics of how a plane can lift off and fly. I’m 73 and can still remember it as if it were yesterday. Btw he also had a great and slightly warped sense of humor like you, lol. Miss him so much.

Your son is so sweet. It's so cool making memories with him. He's so cute.

Having your son out with you was a favorite day. I'm glad he did so well and didn't get sick! Having your son in the boat was a favorite video, for me, too! Congrats Dad! You're doing great! He's a neat kid! We need more like him in this world!!! ❤❤❤

There's nothing better in the world than spending a day with you kid doing work together!

Oh my goodness❤Best episode ever 🥰 God Bless you Jacob for being a great Father🙏🏻 Your Father raised you good and it shows Sir. Outstanding❤

The best thing is the day that you’re children can see you work and start to understand why you leave home every day very important. God bless you and your family.

the best part about this video was the fact that your dad was more happier then you that his grandson was on the boat with you saying it was one of his best days lobersting ur dad lives for those moments i guess Edit: for your son's age he caught on extremely fast and was even able to do some hard task by himself.. that just proves that generation traits simply get passed down to each generation whether you kno it or not. Because I'm almost certain if you put another kid on that boat who is his exact age without anyone in there family who was once a lobsterman they would not catch on so quickly to the point that there performing task like that alone that's INSANE!!!

What amazing memories! I can see the smile on pops face through the radio when he realized his little buddy was on the boat with you just like you used to do ❤❤❤❤

Im glad you got it on film so mom can watch and see the fun yall had together too!! He is such a cute kid. He wasnt scared to touch anything you showed him.

2:22 thats wholesome man. What its all about

Love seeing this ❤, my father was a long hall truck driver for 18 years in Southern Ontario once I turned 8 back in 2007 😅 he would take me across the pond to Buffalo and Tonawanda, those where my greatest memories with him, talking to other truckers on the cb and helping him shift

I was ALL SMILES watching this!!!! I grew up on a farm and spending the day with Dad was the best days of my life.

I love this video! Looks like Jayce has got fishing in his DNA. So lovely to see a son taking interest in the family business and he did so well too. I think you need to give that young man a raise!

Best part was when Jayce got on the radio with Papa and Papa realized who he was talking to.

As a lobsterman's daughter, I loved watching Jacob's son learn the trade. U go little Jace! Daddy will teach u everything you'll ever need to know

Your boy will never forget this experience. God bless you Jacob and your family +crew! ☺️✌️❤️🦋🙏

Oh my,I have a tear in my eye,my father had a white fish boat out of Peterhead, Scotland,North,sea fishing,he used to take me to sea on my Hollidays from school every summer, loved every minute, you took me back looking at your kid looking so happy, that's the way I remember it, thank you.

I love that the young guy says, "Bye, bye" to the lobsters as he throws them back into the water.

Your son will never forget this day and neither will you. Awesome video Jacob!

Am I the only person who finds these videos strangely addicting and is thinking about moving to the coast to get a similar job on a boat?? Love these videos!!🦞🛥️❤

I love how is safely tucked in the back but still gets a great view of everything and I love how he actually had a chance to interact with all the the lobsters and the safer ones. I love he said Bye Bye to all the lobbies when throwing it off board. He has such a calm and gentle demeanour, beautiful to see such a young kid so good

Dude you got me all teary eyed seeing three Generations of Fishermen.

This is so adorable. I love the ending. God bless you and your crew Jacob.

Reminds me of when I went with my Dad and my son coming with me. Then waving to my son as he was steaming down the river to sea. Very special memories Jacob ✌️&❤️ from England 🇬🇧👍

Jacob I have watched every video you have posted and this is by far THE VERY BEST. Keep up the good work Dad.

There are few things as absolutely beautiful as a father and son who truly love each other, and a father teaching his son an ancestral trade.

I feel as excited as Jace everytime I see Jacob Saturdays. I love these videos. And the sound in Papa Knowles voice on the radio was so sweet. ❤❤ It was emotional for him too. ❤❤

This was just too adorable! It was great to see Jason having so much fun with you Jacob!

Love the videos always. Your son will remember this day for the rest of his life. You're a great dad Jacob!

Videos like this restore my faith in humanity...Naturally, it took a Mainer to do it. ..Best video ever Mr. Knowles!

Jacob, seeing you and your son interacting out on the boat together is so precious. Thank you for sharing this amazing moment of your life with us.

This is one of the most beautiful things I've ever watched. You gave a 41 year old guy the feels.❤

This has become one of my favorite channels to watch. I grew up in Connecticut and spent a good number of weekends in Southern Maine. Thank you for the great videos, and also for showing the world how awesome the Lobster Fishermen are when it comes to taking care of the environment and ensuring that the lobster population is sustained. Thank you for lobsters and the great videos.

Jayce is a beautiful boy! I love the $1,000.00 incentive. The crew was super respectful of the rules and each other.

I hope he enjoys lobstering like you do and he takes on the 6th generation. It’s very difficult to keep family business in the family. ❤❤❤. Thank you for the videos.

As if I couldn't love you all more! What a great kid, dad and honorary uncles! Best wishes to you all!❤😊🦞

Your son is adorable! That darling little face when he held the lobster 🥰 six generations too wow amazing, keeping it in the family, beautiful. Love your content man! And love to the little man. ❤

@2:16 I think this right here is right up there with my favorite day ever watching the Jacob Knowles RU-vid channel! PaPa and his boys! 💓 🦞👨‍👦‍👦💓

God bless you & your precious family and keep y'all safe AMEN!! MELT MY HEART!! 🦞🦞🦞🦞🦞🦞🦞🦞🦞🦞🎉🌎🥰

Him in the box and the cabin room part, and doing/saying all those funny little kid things, oh my gosh he’s adorable 😊 what a lovely day

i thought he threw a lobster worth $1000 overboard 😅

The last few minutes of this video was so dear and how you talked about your great grandfather holding that huge lobster too. Just love your heart for your child and the legacy that you have as a fisherman. God bless you!❤

Love the video father and son spending time with eachother

From years of sailing I learned to keep saltines or fruit or any easy snack handy so that if I felt the least bit queasy a small snack would put it to rest. During a big storm off Buzzards Bay in ‘61 (I was 13yo), we headed off shore with sails furled except for a few square feet of the mainmast of one very sturdy ketch. When the winds changed we added a couple of sea anchors to slow our approach to land. All my siblings were seasick, the girls below and the boys tied to the cockpit with their heads in the scuppers. I kept asking my parents to put up more sail so we could heel over more! How they managed the five of us kids, the storm and all without letting us know just how scary things were still amazes me. Here’s hoping all your really really really rough days end as well!

Awesome! 6th gen family biz is like finding 1 of 2mil lobsters that are special in Maine. I know because my son is fifth generation in ours and its literally 1/10 of one percent of businesses in Maine.. thank you for carrying on the tradition!

Seeing your son’s first day and the unexpected moment when he threw $1,000 overboard is a reminder of the priceless memories that come from these unique experiences. It's moments like these that make life unpredictable yet so full of joy and laughter. And I am Floating Village Life.

This is PRECIOUS!! I’m not even 5 mins in and hearing him CB Papa was heart melting!! So, so cute!!! Ahh the way life should be ❤

Ohhh! my! goodness! 😃 You have got the absolute cutest young man ever I did see for a son! Good thing you were able to meet and marry the cutest little “egger” ever! May God bless you and your family always.

Absolutely the best episode yet! Jayce is so adorable, smart, and so much like you. Love PaPa's reaction. Wow 6 generations! That is so amazing.

What a beautiful video, just watching the joy on Jayce's face and proud Papa Jake just taking it all in, this video put a huge smile on my face 😂❤❤😂

Love how excited Jayce is learning about lobsters. ❤

This video is sweet & your son will never forget this day.

Thank you for sharing a moment of time with your family. The raw beauty of tradition and love is not represented enough in most of our worlds and I cannot thank you enough for what you shared with us. Your family is beautiful and I enjoy everything you share with us.

Your lil boy is a living doll! Cool kid! Teach ‘I’m good daddy!! 😊❤really cool dad! The competition is always a fun thing to watch! So glad you do that. Not only a morale boaster but I hope it helps ur crew.

Six generations is an amazing lineage. Good on your for passing it on!

Awww that was awesome! Seeing your son Jace on the boat, banding and learning the lobster fisherman way, that was absolutely awesome Jacob! Thank you for a really brilliant video. Have a lovely weekend you guys!

Tbh you’re my favorite RU-vidr rn. No bs 25 second shorts, just nice long videos of genuine interactions. I live in CT and you inspire me to take care of but also eat more lobster 😂

That's awesome he will never forget, i was raised around cattle and dad had, a usda, slaughter house. I ,grew up and learnt to appiciate how pork and beef .i have also had that luck to have many seafood meals. I wish more could appreciate what they were eating! God bless you and your family! Be safe out there! 🙏❤️

My cheeks hurt from smiling all the way through this. Jayce is a delightful young lobster fisher! Thank you again for sharing your world with us. ❤️

What a beautiful video. The joy in your father's voice when he realized your son was on the boat 🥰🥰 Thank you for sharing.

He’s a keeper

My heart needed this episode!!! 🤗🤗 2:00 so awesome he talked to his grandpa too!!!

Wow 6 generations of doing this and what sweet memories for the family. It's sweet you took your son with you so he can see what you do. Plus your son is interested in taking care of the barnacle

Dang it what timing for someone to be cutting onions nearby must have a chat to my neighbor about that. Honestly though how good is this to see, the continuation of a Legacy. 💪

Your son is a sweet boy, looks very interested in the fishing. He'll never forget this day. You're a good dad Jacob!

I live in Maine, in potato country, and you do a wonderful job of teaching us all about the lobstering business. Such hard work and part of the backbone of our wonderful state! You're a wonderful father and it's great to see you teaching him and see how proud he is of his father!❤

This was absolutely great to watch. He's such a little cutie and has so many good questions. Congratulation on your new Co-Captain, plus Papa Jay's reaction on the radio was priceless.

The happiness on your boys face an your face was great nothing like love of a child an a great parent great to see..
