24 HOUR ROD AN LINE COMMERCIAL FISHING TRIP - Massive pollack Landing in FRANCE !

[@johnwelbourn3811]

I really enjoy these commercial fishing trip videos Jay, they're educating as well as entertaining.

[@SMASHFISHING]

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

[@Scar_117]

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!

Good story.

[@gazellis1961]

Brilliant video as always Smash,awesome fishing as well.Those Pollack certainly grow big out there in the channel. Must be deep as well as all there air sacks were hanging out there mouths. Thanks for sharing.

[@littlehon8330]

Awesome video jay , some beauts caught on that trip 👌

[@SMASHFISHING]

Glad you enjoyed

[@Scotland_my]

What a day that was. Fantastic content bud. 👍

[@fredsoltveit8453]

Love the video Smash.Did you get seasick😀Do you know how many pound the catch was ?😀

[@SMASHFISHING]

I think it’s about 850 lbs of fish

[@Backdaft94]

Pretty cool video. Nice to see commercial rod n reel fishing

[@SMASHFISHING]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@glendockree9171]

Brilliant video mate!!

[@timothyjohnston6314]

Caught the premiere, but had to watch it again with the family. Kids need to see where their food comes from. What a banger👍🇨🇦

Great video jay mate!

Thanks dude

[@carolynweeks7730]

Excellent video well done all,not that your other videos arnt excellent but this one really good keep up the fab entertainment

[@SMASHFISHING]

Thanks for watching I appreciate it 🔥

[@timbrooks2763]

Brilliant ! 🐡

[@joedennehy386]

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

[@patchthesinclair5896]

I need to get to sea again, thank you Jay, for yet another brilliant upload,🎣

[@SMASHFISHING]

Thanks dude much appreciated

Now that's fishing at it's best. Well done geezer

Awesome nice one Jay

Great video Jay, thank you.

Thanks for watching mate

[@yvonnetresidder9171]

What an experience. How big do Pollack grow? Certainly caught some big ones there.

[@SMASHFISHING]

Pollack can go over 20lbs haha big fish I think the biggest we had was round 12 lb

[@jackd8747]

Sweet Jay - seeing as you crossed the shipping lanes, did you come wrecking in Lyme Bay? Good stack of wrecks over here

[@paidiandtomas]

what are you using i'm interested to fish for big pollock great vid btw

Nice to see them landed , I thought France had burnt down 😂😂

[@protopigeon]

what a great trip and those Poo Bass were Mahooooosive!

[@SMASHFISHING]

Thanks for watching mate

[@allumgraphics]

Really good to see the boys catching fish . . . but it would be more helpful if you showed the lures used, reel up techniques and the length of traces etc.

[@patrickdale]

Great fishing smash❤

[@mikeridge3229]

In Thailand the swim bladders of fish are highly prized, deep fried they come out like massive pork scratching and sold for good money.

[@Jason-vx1xe]

Great video you only need the chips now

[@robertduthie]

great video,what port in france did you land the catch at?

[@frablo4645]

Cherbourg

[@SMASHFISHING]

Cherbourg

[@PT-sj2ww]

Great video !!

[@spadebraithwaite1762]

I used to buy fish in the covered market in Oxford. I realised that coley was half the price of cod and the fish were bigger, with better flakes. And, I used to catch pollock out of Poole Harbour. Are they the same fish?

[@kucharzowanie]

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 👍

[@spadebraithwaite1762]

Running ledger with a long boom and 3 lures that are a fathom apart 👍

[@colingontier7697]

Great video Jay nice lots of pollock good lads to go out with. Nice long day for you. What was your biggest. You didn’t do a lot of fishing. What was the total weight for your day.

[@SMASHFISHING]

Hey mate we fished from sun rise to sun set so I had the camra on and off a lot , when i make these commercial video I like to show how the lads do it more so then me being on camra , sort of documentary / vlog style video , it gives people a better understanding and feel for what they do 👍

[@russellanderson8735]

brilliant vid wee change like to see more wonder if it pays well going over to france rather than dropping here.

[@danieltrottier8599]

Awesome

[@cosmic.synergy]

How are the fish able to sit out like that and not spoil or go bad or anything? I've always wondered that. Or do they just catch a bunch and then stick them in an ice box? You know what, I should just keep my questions to myself until I finish watching the whole video LOL. Literally answered my question a few minutes later.

[@johnkay7354]

on the charter boats, most dont have ice so they run sea water through the catch to keep cool

[@billywatts4689]

It's March

[@wftxidiot6518]

Is there a size limit on Pollock?😁

[@Steve-em4tb]

Do these guys do charters as well?

[@Mar-nc1om]

Noticed my comment on how they’re gutting fish alive has been removed? I’ve been watching smash fishing for years and never have I seen this savage way of despatching a fish!

[@SMASHFISHING]

I didn’t take your comment down as I dont take any comments down , what ever you said must of been picked up from KZbin , this is the way people get there fish fresh , I’m not going out to criticize how these boys fish I’m simply making the video to show the commercial side of fishing , in any fishing there is good and bad , also people have different opinions on fish management, I’m not hear to try tell any fishermen how to do there job or criticize them for anything as this is there job and how they feed there family’s , even if I agree or disagree with how they do it , I just want to film a side of fishing not many get to see , some people will love some video of it and some they won’t an I understand that fully and everyone is entitled to share there opinions 👍

[@Mar-nc1om]

@@SMASHFISHING thanks for the reply! I wasn’t having to have a dig at you. You do a great job with how you do things. Just shocked me how they did it 😅

[@johnkay7354]

and what way do you suggest, beating it over the head until it stops flapping about, have you never seen the commercial trawler fishermen deal with fish

[@Mar-nc1om]

@@johnkay7354 I wasn’t talking about other fishermen. And yes beating it over the head until it stops flapping is much better than gutting it alive. It’s not like they have too many fish in one go to do it.

[@johnkay7354]

@@Mar-nc1om they were pulling them in 3 at a time, they cleaned and packed when the boat went around for a new drift, ive fished on charter boats for over 30 yrs and i never seen one fish get its head crushed, its put in the box when caught, and the deck hand will gut and clean them, some are still alive,

[@alanmorris8783]

I assume your “magic Chum” was a few lung-fulls of Smash’s breakfast!

[@SMASHFISHING]

Yup 😂💪 the fish was rolling in after that 😂

[@yanphuc]

You guys are spoiled in the UK and FRANCE it seems like haha. In Canada the cods we get are half the size of your cod filets XD Our pollocks are about the same as our cods in size.

[@ianforrest6728]

I enjoy watching sustainable fishing but annoying to think in the Irish sea there's a trawler hoovering thousands of tons of fish

[@SMASHFISHING]

Your very rite mate I see a lot of people criticizing small fishing boats an small trawlers but they don’t know how big the super fishing boats really are ! One of the huge fishing ships could take as much as the hole guernsey fleet in a single day 😂 it’s insane to think about

[@zim2cool4younoobi47]

the hooks they are using are called sandeel V2 if someone wondered

[@markgreen8247]

don't think so

[@bertbasset8961]

Y sell the fish at the French side buddy,, do they pay more surly the extra fuel to get there and back would eat the profit

[@SMASHFISHING]

Guernsey don’t want as much as the lads catch , also France pays way more almost double so it’s well worth it to them

[@planetzogg1]

Pollack and chips for tea on the way back?

[@SMASHFISHING]

I wish haha

[@michaelkenneally7551]

How come they didn’t use the jigging machines ?

[@toddlepelley4274]

Why not knock them over the head when kept before putting them on ice? Not a negative comment just a question?

[@matthewcadle7200]

Time thing I think?

[@SMASHFISHING]

Great question mate I thought it would come up , it’s to do with the fish being in perfect condition, hitting them on the head can bruise the fish fillets , also it’s a time thing as these boys need to catch a lot of fish to cover cost of boat and then catch enough for there wages so the quicker the better and the quicker the better quality an price they get , it makes a huge difference

[@johnkay7354]

why would you knock them over the head before putting them on ice, they've already been gutted and cleaned

[@SuperKabookie]

Why don’t they ice those fish?

[@SMASHFISHING]

They ice all the fish , just when 4 of us pulling up fish it’s hard to sort them quick so we catch loads of fish for 20 minutes then sort them an repeat

[@SuperKabookie]
