Vinalhaven Untrapped: FREE Documentary about "The Lobster Trap" 

These people claiming to be on your side are wolves in sheep’s clothing. You see my boat on channel 6 they did the same thing to me.

Lobster work is hard work, no one is hurting the whales except the pollution that New York City and Boston put into the waters.

Amazing factual documentary - we must all stand up for the local lobster men and women of this precious community and other coastal villages. Beautifully and professionally presented. This kind of horrific deception is happening everywhere- fishermen, farmers and on and on. Let's speak power to truth and share this with everyone we know.

Great example of how the Federal Government has nothing but contempt for the people.

Wicked good documentary and a real view into the truth

That’s more like it. Thanks Andrew

Not rocket science that "journalism" relies on sensationalism

Commonsens just isn’t that common. Thank god for these fishermen, the British government sold our fishermen out, we had a flourishing fishing industry, not now it’s all gone, don’t let them do the same to you. We had fishing boats all around this island, we are completely surrounded by the sea but can’t fish our own fish.

I bet the noise from those windmills have a bigger effect on ocean life than any fisherman could possibly produce.

Guess who sold the island away..I love Franky t..captain Hollywood...his wife sold the island....no joke..my family owns old harbor..uncle sunny and family..sorry but Frank's wife sold that island........

Great piece , I’m glad it’s being truthfully expressed to show the truth of good hardworking people !

What an incredible video to watch.... just amazing ❤❤❤

i'm still scratching my head wondering how some reporters from the Boston Globe or the Portland press herald know more about the ocean environment and the people that live and work in the sea at Vinalhaven..They live every day and every night. They worked at environment and have for many generations. These reporters barely know how to find a way to work in the morning. Excellent documentary.

Just make sure that you keep the big factory boats away, they’ll strip the sea floor and trash what they don’t want.

"She should be in prison for what she did. ..."

"He was so intelligent he won't listen to me'. THIS is the crux of what I see many Mainers have to deal with. I think if Mainers don't 'fill' Maine with their own plans, corporations will come in and fill it with their profit driven ideas. Mainers are amazing, and so independant they sometimes get nowhere. That infighting works for outsiders. Time to come together.

Who ever you talk to, record it, and make sure they know it. Good luck.

That is hilarious! 60s - 70s? Do you not remember the "true" reporting on Vietnam. Gulf of Tonkin? Casualty figures and body counts?

Thank you for telling the truth. I was disgusted by the Glibe/Press Herald hit piece.

It's complicated. I knew a lobster buyer who said it was the most corrupt industry he had ever worked in. Bait prices, fuel prices, and lobster whosale price may be controlled by one buyer. 80,000lbs of lobster per year per fishing license translates to a lot of money. The idea that offshore windmills will negatively impact fishing has no evidence behind it, just as the negative inpact of lobstering on right whales has no evidence. Grant money has to be spent on something and there are only about 3,000 lobstermen in the state, truly the little guys in maritime business, but big for Maine's economy. Lobster fishing is like the cowboy of the open range. Tough, hard working, stubborn and generally poorly educated because you can make a man's wage at fifteen, why stay in school? Play your cards right you can retire a millionaire by twenty-five!
