Thank you, loftie! Yep, freaking out doesn't help the situation.

all the netted salmon are coming on board & a great catch. Thanks for the on-board view. 👍

What makes record perfect is we see families working together, everyone is watching eachs back, rush quarters more flexible

Great job ! Love the way you work and how when things go wrong there’s no angry outbursts or cursing, you just get it done without drama.

Thanks Vernosifuel. That set was something else! I was so proud of my family for being on top of things, keeping the web clear of the stern and toughing it out. We sure learned a lot that day!

Only if every skipper remained that calm and collected during times of pressure I might still be a commercial fisherman in Alaska. Well done cap!

Awe the fun of fishing and trying to avoid other boat's net's and shore...awesome video ...blessings

Alaska is a wonderful fishing state.

Great patience and team work. Great video!

Thanks Mark, it was a battle for sure! We were glad to have it back onboard, lol.

Saw a You Tube film in Tamil Nadu (India) netting anchovies off the beach (Indian Ocean) there was about 80 people hauling in the catch. Plenty of anchovies for all. Consequently, there was lots of excitement. Really interesting. Fishing is of course the common theme. The sense of #independence and #joy of a large catch is #Wonderful Thank you EIS Alaska for many interesting hours of viewing.😊 God Bless You. RB (an aussie) & cheers for great catch too. I eat salmon regularly each week - healthy natural food. 😊

I sure hope you do this opener again this year. I really enjoyed this video. It was great to see that huge catch!

insane combat fishing, what a haul......I thought the net was gonna get hung in the rocks.

That was one beautiful Alaskan fire drill! Nice catch. Congratulations to the Fish Tale crew.

This video was far more interesting than I was prepared for. These look like Pink Salmon? I hold Salmon Sacred in my life. They must be treated with respect, because if they ever disappear it will be the end of us. Seining has always been a mystery to me. I watched from a distance but never got the gist of it. Tristan!!! You can move when you have to!!! Holy smokes my man! You knew what had to be done, why and when! You are amazing! Your Mom is no less incredible, you two work well together, I have not had the opportunity to see that. Len when chaos appeared to be running the show, you stepped out and brought calm and encouragement, all Matt needed was a Lariat and a six gun! 😁 I really appreciate you giving an insight to this method of harvesting fish. I do not feel quite as negative about it as I did. I'm still not sure Salmon should be so heavily used but so far some runs are okay. Coho (silvers?) And Springs (Kings?) Seem to be the worst abused species. That is why I don't like Guide Boats, for them it is all about masculinity and Male Pattern Baldness! In other words "I may not be much of a man, but with a few thousand dollars I can compensate. That is why I do not fish salmon in freshwater. They do not eat and they have strength for one spawning run. Anyway I digress. This video helped me see better

WELL DONE

Wow, that was a s#!tshow, but NICE set! Good to see someone that has their rolling bunt set up correctly and knows how to use it. We were used to so many routine small sets that we rarely used it. When it came time, we had to totally re-educate ourselves. Good job Y'all.

Hi Philip. It is called a plunger. The noise and bubbles that are forced into the water help push the fish back into the net so they don't swim out past the end.

The footage is amazing, but it would have been great to have a voice over telling us what was going on with the net, the hoist, and the out boat.

I'll help

How does one get on a boat like this? I'm headed to Alaska in a few weeks hoping to get onto a boat for the summer then go crabbing in the fall/winter.

What is the purpose of the plunger in the water while you are pulling in the nets?

@EISAlaska

The noise and bubbles spook the fish and keep them from running out the net. The skiffman also plunges when the net is held open.

Good catch and I enjoyed watching your videos. I hope to see how this fishnet works in the bottom and how it trapped the fish? When this pandemic is done, I would like to go back to Philippines and apply your long line fishing for halibut but of smaller version. I have noticed different style of long line fishing in the Phils. and it's so frustrating especially they do it manually and so messy. Thanks for video and I subscribed and keep watching it.

I think I figured it out after watching your seining videos how the fish is being trapped except the process how to gather those bottom rings and was placed on a big steel hook being lifted separately on the side of the boat.

Are the fish supposed to go through the block up there when they're in the net

@EISAlaska

2 жыл бұрын

Nope, not typically. It couldn't be helped in this case, they were late season fish at a hatchery opener, so they had what are called "hook jaws" which salmon develop late into their life cycle. As it implies the salmon have gnarly jaws and teeth that snag up on the web and get dragged up into the block.

And when do they retrieve the fish

@EISAlaska

We delivered our catch to a tender after we made this set. There were several tenders staged in the bay to receive fish and transport it back to town. We offload to the tender in the next video. Thanks for the comment and watching.

Hey Patty. These would go to fillet markets if they were harvested earlier. By the time this area was opened the fish were in poor shape. Most likely the majority ended up at the fish meal plant. The roe is used also if it is still good.

It's called a plunger. As you force it into the water it makes a popping noise and also pushes air bubbles into the water. The fish see and hear it turn around and swim back into the net.

You would think after all these years these boats would be required to have waist-high bullworks. And at the very least a PFD that's automatically goes off if you're unconscious in the water. Apparently some of the wisdom hasn't made it down through. If you don't believe me jump in the water with the reindeer and see what happens make sure you got a rope in your hand.
