I am a chef who works with scallops often at my job. It was awesome to see how my product is harvested ! Thanks!!

[@highlinerytc]

You are very welcome!

[@Diddley-js6lf]

Thank You To All The Fishermen Who make it possible for Us Americans To Enjoy All The Bounty The Seas Have. Thank You All For Your Contribution To Our Mother Earth By Feeding Her Children.

[@wojomojo]

Need to be said that some fishermen/fisherwomen don't contribute ti but instead destroy/exploit Mother Earth. Dredging is controversial, for example, but not sure about this particular fishery. Ed: Apparently the Alaska dredging of scallops are deemed sustainable, good to know!

[@gonefishing4204]

Thank you fishermen for your hard work and contribution to allow us to eat seafood when we want

[@dba6121]

Thank you to all those involved in my making my dinner a good one.

[@User-hq4ml]

Thanks!

[@highlinerytc]

Wow! THANK YOU! Appreciate it!

Y'ALL DO AWESOME WORK, THANK YOU FOR COMING TO WORK SHOWING US EVERYTHING YALL DO... IT'S A LEARNING EXPERIENCE FOR US, THANK YOU AGAIN...

[@highlinerytc]

Thanks for watching!

[@dungeonandragons]

I'm not an American but I love the way you guys prepare yourself before going out for fishing. God Bless you guys out there. Be safe always

[@highlinerytc]

Thank you 👍

[@pipsqueek581]

They work hard and need good food. I would love to be a cook on a boat like this. ❤

[@theeaskey]

When was a younger man i spent many years fishing the north atlantic. If u can survive that u can survive anything.

[@sharongibson1161]

I LOVE scallops !!😊 Thanks, guys !!

[@margauxmilan]

Thank you for your hard work

[@peterk814]

This was great

[@Bennyblanco0]

The music when they were leaving😂

[@highlinerytc]

@@Bennyblanco0 Had to change the song otherwise it wouldn't be able to monetize! 🤣

[@davidrobertthomas1515]

Simply the best!

[@krypticphantasm]

Wow! Accidentally found this channel! Excellent narration and music choice. I didn't expect CCR to play as the departure song, then a shot of "Provider" to name the boat!😮

[@highlinerytc]

Glad you liked the music. We try to keep the vibes going out there.

[@wvbs83]

Are these weathervane scallops?

[@Cronkadoodledoo]

“The by-catch is gently thrown back in the water” said 15 seconds after the guy stomps on the stingray

[@Private02-d5i]

Let’s go brother Kalvin I see you. Amazing ❤👏👏👏👏👏💯

[@AndrewGrey-o2h]

They should start a TV series and call it "The Deadliest Catch".

[@highlinerytc]

Right

[@AK2HI]

My boat is a 70 foot tender now, it was designed to be a shrimp dragger but I realized how destructive this is to the bottom as well as all the bycatch gets tossed so now I just tender salmon and stopped longline and shrimp fishing, but most fishermen don’t care about anything but their bank account

[@AK2HI]

@@jimnorthland2903 50 yrs experience with or as a fisherman BIG difference

[@AK2HI]

@@jimnorthland2903 I was a dragger and that shit is absolutely terrible for the environment, sea floor, and any benthic organisms

[@highlinerytc]

Right

[@jacobishii6121]

Good on you,a lot of of our boats are taking the same route in the NW

[@firstnamelastname5330]

Good thing scallops like these are caught in sandy conditions so you’re basically racking sand… with hardly no by catch mainly sea cucumber and star fish

[@RHatakeyama1961]

Off Hokkaido, Japan they catch 12 tons of scallops in 4 hrs. Everyone gets home in time for lunch.

[@angusmackay6196]

Aye so they do 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@kevinerickson2595]

I was on that boat for 2 1/2 months during exon Valdes oil spill

[@highlinerytc]

Thats awesome

[@bibinthampy1599]

15:45 They named their boat, Provider..thats shows a respect where u work.

[@petereriksson1390]

Youst Love this type of KZbin video 's! Many and Big thanks from Peter Eriksson Sweden Europe Thumbs up from me!😊😅😊

[@ianturpin9180]

I trawled for scallops in Queensland. Like you we discarded the gonads, despite them being extremely tasty. Also if you eat a freshly shucked live scallop you get a tingling sensation on your tongue much like licking a 2.5v battery.

[@russellking9762]

You can also get that same sensation from licking pussy except it's called the clap

[@scherbertdan]

Why the tingling?

[@gharrett2092]

That’s because you are allergic.

[@ianturpin9180]

@@gharrett2092 nope, have eaten thousands in my 75 years.

[@ianturpin9180]

​@@scherbertdan because the scallop is still alive and the muscle is trying to close the shell.

[@edwardleroy8435]

Thankyou!!!!!!! Delicious 😋

[@hardroad1536]

Wow!

[@AK2HI]

All the little things most don’t see, you can’t store your product on a wood pallet, DEC inspectors told me this as a shrimper, it needs to be another non-porous material that can’t hold moisture and breed mold

[@jonremysancho]

Does the DEC have pdfs on their website or other resources to learn?

[@AK2HI]

@ I would think so, I’m just use to them coming to the boat and doing the inspection like coast guard dockside exam

[@vincegedeon6583]

Cleaning the boat i wouldn't wanna do especially everyday lol

[@highlinerytc]

Normally cleaning after the trip. Not every day

[@0p9o8i19]

Whole different story in winter

[@darrenroy4857]

How much is a paycheck? And is it hourly or quota?

[@Wayne-ou5ps]

Provider was originally from NEW BEDFORD, MASSACHUSETTS....

[@richardernst8857]

I really love me some real scallops they are my favorites and soooo delicious 😋 and I bet every fisherman thinks about Forrest Gump when they are out there hahaha 😂

[@ManMountainMetals]

4:12 no way that's 😳 only a thousand pounds.

[@mikeheisenberg288]

G7 coffee that’s all you need at sea 👏

[@raymondherbst7126]

How much do these guys make? Two weeks out, probably on 12 hour shifts. Hard non-stop wet work in all kinds of weather.

[@highlinerytc]

Various every season, but weather normally nice until October.

[@douglasdoan7437]

They use artificial intelligence voice in the video how many time I hear this voice absolutely emotional shingtao

[@stevedingman474]

lol scallops are a favorite shell fish , crabs , shrimp, and cod and halibut my favorite sea food … I can see why it’s expensive!

[@NicolasValentinScotland]

Good video❤

[@williamkechkaylo7915]

weathervane "hockey puck" scallops are 3 inches in dia. ! i would love to try them. can't find them anywhere. must sell out fast. wonder how much they cost - i still would buy them.

[@giarcllafard1170]

A shout out to my buddy Josh Adkins, who is the engineer of/on the Provider

[@cynthiarausch1997]

Wow, you guys are amazing. May God be with you

[@terry6665]

Not me. Niga music?? And killing sea floor. Nope 🙅‍♂️

[@misterslats]

Listening to the Ramones trawlin' for scallops. There's worse jobs.

[@ballistic350]

Listening to bsb awesome 😂😂

[@gingerthedog3951]

What do they do with rubbish of boxes and plastic and bottles??

[@donniedarko444]

Break the boxes down, throw it way on shore. If there's room for the boxes with product in them then there's room for them when they're empty and broken down flat. You insinuating they throw trash overboard?

[@gingerthedog3951]

This type of fishing destroys the sea bottom

[@williamc4221]

"An" is the indefinite article that's used before a vowel sound. "A" is the indefinite article used before consonant sound. So, the title of this video should read, "A day in the life of an Alaskan fisherman."

[@donniedarko444]

Thanks professor

[@josephdelfin1751]

13:13…I see you. Real one alert. Chubzies Smashburgers was here.

[@josefandino9374]

Great stuff

[@randyneilson7465]

How much does each box of product weigh?

[@MacMittenns]

This video rocks.

[@KerryThompson-e5g]

you no the rubber tyres to prevent wearing down of the net and rings etc is just more micro plactic in the water

[@ntiveStoner]

The net on the provider is made up of steel rings and chains they use cable to drag it and pull it up

[@highlinerytc]

We are always trying to find ways to be more sustainable.

[@REPR100]

Makes you want to go to college

[@highlinerytc]

lmbo

[@carlosmerino7436]

A super expensive product, a very exhausting job, I hope the men have a good salary. What I liked most about the video was that they feed them well.

[@Mike-gc9ih]

I wish I was young again and could do this without getting seasick 😢

Not bad in the summer, weather's pretty nice.

​@@bradenkasper9802Rrrr me to Matey walk the plank. 😂

[@larrysorenson4789]

@ OK. Stay tuned. The “season” is April through September. The rest of the year is simply too brutal. There are freighters leaving for Asia and beyond every day from Long Beach and Seattle. Hunting on the internet should lead to the companies who staff these vessels. If you are young and have great grades contact your senators asking for an appointment to the Naval Academy or the Merchant Marine Academy. Both are great starts for a career at sea. Best wishes.

[@capnchip]

VERY DESTRUCTIVE operation!! NO Doubt! Who cares?..as long as they get a bunch of money! AND, that head banging "music" is enough to make one stop looking at the video. It is horrible. All-in-all, this thing SUCKS to me! It's the same with shrimping! Been there, I KNOW!!!

[@torbenhellborn3175]

Real mad made movie

[@amitas7047]

The sad thing is that no one questions other countries where all thier food products waste plastic goes to ...into the sea or brought back to coast here even tissue paper and paper cups are used on indian boats they use steel n glass cups and glasses and have much less plastic ...seen vidoes so i can say but every second comments is where does d plastic go 😢funny how we just corner specific places ...nothing against this group of fishermen...my point is d one doing d work knows best

[@colognelotion4260]

[@daviscampbell9020]

@highlinerytc7939 that's good. I look forward to working on the ocean.

[@schlaznger8049]

So that giant metal dredge weighs as much as one crab pot that Deadliest catch uses...I always new Discovery was lying about the weight of those crab pots

[@jennifertselentis4755]

Does not look like a job many would want.

So many fish as by catch. That's some good food going to waste when you don't even look at what you got trapped in the bag.

[@highlinerytc]

This is nothing compared to other fishery.

[@Wayne-ou5ps]

...THE REAL TRUTH IS.... SCALLOP FISHING IS THE TOUGHEST FISHING A MAN. COULD EVER DO... BELIEVE ME,,...ONCE THE DREDGES COME OVER THE RAIL, YOUR BENT OVER 15 OR MORE OURS A DAY.....AND NEVER MIND IF THE Captain TOWS. INTO THE PILES ...THEN YOUR LIFTING BOULDERS.
