[@sp0ons2]

The plunger is shaped to project a loud 'pop' down into the water in order to scare the fish back into the net. Before the half-purse (when the rings come up and are pinned with the hook) there are plenty of places for the fish to escape. The plunger guy tries to prevent that. Some boats even have a guy plunge at the stern before the gear has started to come over the block.

[@vincent7520]

@@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 !

Ok a few questions answered. These fish are all for human consumption.

There a very few negative aspects to this program, the most negative is the concentration of the effort can make a few unpleasant experiences between the boats.the most valuable aspect here is the fact that these are new dollars not value added dollars and the hatchery program is paid for by a cost recovery program derived by a portion of the catch.

It would have made the video more enjoyable to watch if there had been a Narrator to explain what the crew was doing during this catch. Chum are not good for Retail consumption, how are they used for marketing.?Any estimate how many Thousands of Salmon were caught on this one haul.?

[@johnnygee5639]

There eggs! There eggs are the most sought after out of all the salmon that the eggs is what makes these fish so worth the effort. This year dogs (chum) went for $1.20 a lb and they average about 5-12 pounds. I read somewhere that this was about 60,000 pound set which if it was then each "bag" they filled would be about 10,000 lbs. The reason to fill the bags is because if they tried to bring them all on board at once would roll the boat and or they would come over the rails. Anyways I hope that answered some of your questions.

Why do they beat the water with that pole?

[@trimbaker1893]

That is called a plunger. it pushes air down into the water. everything that makes bubbles in the ocean eats salmon. salmon know to swim away from bubbles that are rising underwater, could be a seal or whale exhaling them. It works great. a good crewman can turn the school of salmon back away from the open end of the net by plunging deep with the plunger. until the purse line rings are aboard, the fish could all escape from the open end. I worked on board the F/V Verna C back in 1996. We caught 660,000 pounds of salmon that season. Double the usual catch...I think it was my cooking that made the difference. Smiling, George. ( you get to hang a broom in the rigging at 300,000 pounds... we had two brooms)

The crew member in full orange Grunden's should take note of the rest of the crew working while he stands around (on top of the dogs) and getting out of his rain gear before the deck was cleared. This would have never been acceptable on our boat.... Other than that, great video! Maybe it's time to get a soc?

[@feshfeshdukduk7147]

Why do the guys in the beginning of the video keep slapping the water with those poles?

[@Antonocon]

Probably to keep the fish hiding down at the bottom of the net. That way they won't try to come to the top and jump over the net and get away.

[@johnstone210]

That log ,was it a tag and release..????

Do they need a OSHA 30 hour course...

*Feeling a bit silly now, with my sportfishing "catch and release" mentality....*

[@rezarhodes3865]

This was mainly pink salmon which i wouldn't catch for sport or keep anything more than bait. Now if you are catching cutthroat or sockeye and releasing the smaller guys in hopes too hope it gets larger the next time someone catches it... That's good sportsmanship

[@philipkeeler9997]

@@rezarhodes3865 These were Chum. (as per the description). Pinks usually weigh no more than 5-6 lbs.

It all helps ,it’s the right attitude to have ,commercial fishing has destroyed many of the fisheries,they are trying these days a bit better but we are just taking too much ,catch your own

That dude in the orange knew his shit. Well done.

[@jasonmgavitt2357]

What is the dude doing with that long pole he keeps hitting the water with?

[@isaaccherry9617]

It is called plunging. It creates a popping sound like a cup would on the waters surface, intended to scare the fish back into the net.
