I forgot to mention, lobsters in the Bahamas must be Size: 3 3⁄8 inches carapace length or six inches tail length. (Be careful-the U.S. carapace minimum is 3 inches, so pay attention on how you measure your lobster.) and commercially we are aloud to keep 250 lobsters. We ended the day with 212. We averaged 8-12$ a pound per lobster

Can you include some measurements in a video of like a 3” you let go and a 3 3/8” Bahama legal for comparison? Would like to see the comparison and maybe the weight difference

As a avid lobster diver in the florida keys,,,Very few of those were even 3" ... SO WHERES YOUR GAUGE? Sorry you can't BS someone who does this all the time... in case you want to know a 3" lobster is about 8 years old and will spawn 2 or 3 times before its legal to collect...

Awesome! Love Casper’s channel too. Great to see youths out there livin the ocean life. And tell Johnson we asked about him. Lol

Enjoyed the video, only problem I have is how many lobsters are first killed then measured and thrown back in the water. I know a lot of people would say yes but the other fish will eat it. So why not just hook all fish and kill all other fish in the same way ?????? Just seems like the net idea you mentioned seems like a better option, thereby throwing back all those that are undersize......

As a fisherman. Commercial and recreational I can see y’all are doing what you are supposed to. I had a retail fish market for years and I was paying 12 to 15 per pound 20 years ago . I can’t believe the price hasn’t changed much in all those years.

Seems to be the only thing that doesnt go up. Fisheries been making 2-3x the amount, and the restaurants double up. I see 25.99/lb tuna here and have never seen over 7 bucks a lb even when there is no fish and its off season. I think in the next few years lot of fisheries are going to be going out of business as the commercial fisherman start selling more direct. We bust our fucking asses while other people make a ton more money then us just peddling our goods.

Great content. Real Life Living. Don't feel the need to say it over and over again about what is being done is legal. It's like you are trying to convince your audience about it. You put a disclaimer in the beginning and mentioned it early on. That's more then enough. Yes this is your channel. Run it as you see fit. However, maybe next time mention during your voice over, the seaaon for lobster fishing, how many can be harvested, the economic impact it has for locals, etc.etc..... Wiki Info. It adds to the overall enjoyment to watching your lifestyle and adds depth to your videos. Regardless dude, I'm a fan. Keep it up.

Way more effective this way

If you keep fishing for lobsters the way you do, one day they will be all gone because of greed and overfishing. This is how most Caribbean countries have lost their lobsters.

Film your girlfriend deveining ALL of the lobsters BEFORE she rips their tails off. 🙏 It’s VERY EFFECTIVE. It’s time for her to start cleaning the animals. We need more women on KZread doing this.

8-12 dollars a pound is false my boy .. that's hella low 20+ per

You must learn to kill lobsters with only one hit, and when you take a fish, kill him with the knife immediately, then make photo or video. When we fish, they give us their life, we must give them respect and a decorous death. Signed by a very old spearfisher that has learn this rules 62 years ago

Nobody will give you hate Adam🇺🇸 some people bitch but we don’t really count them as people because they eat the lobster👍 they go buy it they eat it they just wanna bitch about how it was caught go get your own! We have the same thing with people here in the states with cows and pigs and you wanna know how it’s done but they want to eat it!! ❤️❤️SOMEDAY YOU AND ME AND YOUR BUDDY VIC ARE GOIN FISHIN❤️❤️🇺🇸

The fishery is maintained by the size limit. An there are far less boats an divers in the bahamas than Florida. So not as many people have access to the lobster. They did all this in 30ish feet of water. An likely didn't see another boat doing the same all day. The lobster population will be fine.

@@who_is_asking I Gotta agree with you! My uncle is a lobster trapper in Maine. Each "licenced" lobster trapper in Maine is allowed 800 traps!!! That's right, 800!!!! My uncle runs 600 with a 3 day soak so he pulls 200 a day and rotates (during the season of course). And I saw bays in Maine that had THOUSANDS of traps. Take the big ones, release (and feed!) the small ones for they are the next generation. My uncle calls it FARMING lobsters because all the bait grows the little ones fast and leads to increased reproduction! Farming! And did you know lobsters were SO plentiful at onetime they used to be jailhouse food? It's true, look it up. Cheers!

Yeah its legal but I just feel bad for those lobsters, i fish all the time and have caught lobster myself but in this quantity it just doesn’t feel right, idk

Please let the rest of the lobsters (and other legal to capture sea life) live to be caught and eaten another day. Our resources are already under constant stress from overfishing so please do what you can to be a part of the solution-not the problem.
