Thanks John 👍 I definitely put my self though it making these videos but the life experience an fishing journeys are well with the effort

I work at the shipping ports in California, I see those massive container ships all the time. The first time I seen one come into port was so terrifying simply because of how gargantuan they are. I can drive my work truck right up to it and watch it get loaded/unloaded. Mesmerizing. At night, when they're idle and everything is quiet, you can hear the tether lines creek and stretch as the water and tide slowly rocks the ship about. The sound of the lines stretching and creaking is spooky and reminds me of something out of the Pirates of the Caribbean. Seals love to beach themselves on the chin of the ship and at night they're so flippin loud with their calls and wails I can hear them clear across the yard!

Nice boat, bit different to that tiny crabbing boat 4 of you were on recently. You dont iki your fish, or put them in an ice slurry? Seeing as they are rod caught you have a chance to get a really premium product. The eating quality is so different

@koolaevah

Жыл бұрын

Nah, they're not the same but same family and if cooked they taste the same. If you're not sure what you are catching the easiest way to identify is to check lateral line on the fish. Coalie has the line straight along the body but pollock's curves from tail upwards. Hope it helps 👍
