Commercial salmon fishing in Crawfish Inlet, Alaska.
Фильм және анимация
Raw footage of commercial seine fishing for salmon in Crawfish Inlet, Baranof Island, Southeast Alaska. Unbelievable return for the chum salmon fishery.
Footage taken on F/V Lucky Star. August, 2018.
Net rolls varied from 3,500 lbs. - 8,000 lbs. This is incredible fishing!
"The purse seine fleet set a single day chum salmon catch record for the entire state with a haul of over 980,000 chum salmon taken at Crawfish Inlet south of Sitka on Thursday, Aug. 30 according to Northern Southeast Regional Aquaculture Association (NSRAA) manager Steve Reifenstuhl. Seiners took 1.13 million fish in two openings."

So many questions...but first a few comments...what's for breakfast - scrambled eggs with salmon, what's for lunch - salmon burgers, what's for dinner - salmon steaks. hard work...and what a haul.
I used to work for NSRAA, that was a big year! Glad you guys could make some money.
Great video. I can’t believe that is the Lucky Star. I fished on that boat from 1990 to 1994 salmon in Alaska sardines San Francisco, squid and sardines out of San Pedro. Good to see she still working.
Guy with orange rain gear is a top hand. He was always making things work without the tangles.

Crawfish inlet is a very beautiful place, some of the best huckleberry picking I've seen. That was a beautiful set. I'm terrible at guessing but I'd say somewhere near 15,000 pounds?

@@vpcha Can't you read ? it's a fish FARM ! Fishes are raised in cages that can be as large as 1 km in diameter. Boat casts its net in the middle of the cage. Sadly enough this type of fish population increases as much as chicken population increase in a chicken FARM. Watch how salmons don't fight and die very fast on this video. If you ever saw a WILD salmon fight against being trapped in a net you would see the difference ! Worse : they feed those fish with fish meat and other dry meat powder to which they add antibiotics, anti-fungi and other GMO by throwing whole buckets of them in the water. The stuff which isn't immediately eaten by captive fishes goes out in the open water and wild fish in the surroundings are contaminated by GMOs. This sometimes change their genetics… which in turns changes the species. That's what's dangerous about those farms. So what is not environmental friendly is the contamination of wild salmons nearby those farms. Not the fact that fishermen in this video catch too many fish. Cheers !

this is in Alaska with some of the strictest regulations in the world for both sport and commercial fishing. There are quotas and when they are met for that season the fishing of that species is stopped. They also regulate where, when, and how you can fish. So, certain areas maybe closed to fishing that year, or only open for a short time, or open to fish one species but closed to fish other species. Or, maybe prohibit nets in certain area and can only use longlines etc.

If you order Chum from a restaurant, your a f**king idiot and you should do a little research before you order Salmon again. The one thing you might order from I high end restaurant would be and caviar / the eggs from this type of salmon. So unless your a plant or a cat/dog then I don't recommend ordering Chum / dog Salmon from any restaurant. Sorry for being so direct but I work in this fishery and to come off as if they ar stepping in the fish on purpose is a very improper statement and these guys are busting there ass. Let alone people don't usually eat the meat of these salmon, mainly the eggs. You want good salmon then order Sockeye (Red) Salmon or King Salmon or Coho (silver) Salmon. Stick to those 3 then you will have a good meal but don't order Chum (dog) Salmon or Humpy's (pink) Salmon. Have a good day!
