Cool story - a couple of young blokes working hard and living their dream. Great to see.

[@Johnsmith66999]

Buying and working out of the boat you did work experience as a kid in is so cool living the dream mate

I spent 22 years commercial fishing with my father... I still love to fish!

[@mykemyers6488]

In my opinion this is some of the most respectable commercial fishing you can do. You are not killing your bycatch, you are not killing undersized fish. You are able to bring everything up alive and healthy sort through it and return what is to small or unwanted back to the ocean unharmed. In no way should this be comparable to people that long line or net fish because of the high kill rates that come with those methods.

[@alastairwilliams9550]

Did you see how long it took to measure them? Fish don’t breathe air

[@BradGryphonn]

The only real issue with any 'deep' fishing is the swim bladder issue. Fish brought from depths quickly don't get time to adjust their swim bladder and in most cases, even if the fish is thrown back, it will still die. Live coral trout fisherman carry a bladder punch that is used to release air from the fish immediately after being caught, saving them from certain death.

[@BradGryphonn]

@@alastairwilliams9550 You would be surprised how long a fish can last out of water. It's still not good for them but a few minutes out of water isn't fatal.

[@kaladin8374]

Pulling them up 90m kills them

[@mykemyers6488]

@@BradGryphonn They make a tool that is basically a big hypodermic needle it'll that is used to do something called venting a fish. Where you simply poke a hole in it release the air from the swim bladder and it's able to swim down no problem and has a high survival rate. You can order this tool online for a few dollars.

Shame about the negative comments. I'm a fisherman here in the UK 🇬🇧 and use traps for lobsters 🦞 and crabs 🦀 and nets for fish, bit of rod and line for fun.Nets if rigged right don't catch many undersized or unwanted fish,Joe public need to be made aware of this

[@werenesian3912]

Beautiful ocean, beautiful land

[@downunderfulla6001]

Great way of fishing. Almost zero lactic acid buildup like all line/net caught fish. They are 100% fresh the second they leave the water. My partner was born in Gore🍺🍺

[@lukeduke3001]

good to see the kiwi crew and the hat keeping the captain warm

[@beatems]

Wheres the ice in those buckets or are they stored in a fridge on the run back

[@seandesmond5924]

Being so deep do you think the fish that are undersized and let go make it back to the bottom?

[@CRZ38L]

The depths aren't actually that deep compared to other types of deep sea fishing, and Sanpper don't suffer from barotrauma so the released fish should be fine, providing they don't get preyed upon on the way back down.

[@jessewilson8676]

They should keep the heads either use them for bait or fish meal. Tossing them overboard is a waste of potential money.

Wow.nice place n life

[@spaceman5734]

I love leather jackets they are nice fish to each.....wish you can keep the head I just feel we are disrespecting the animal thats given its life for us to live by not eating the whole animal.

[@tassieTRUTHS]

Thx ABC

Snapper and Leather Jacket, The yummy chicken and quail of the sea! Yehaa, Yepee, Yahoo!!!

[@cazalygiouba9224]

Can you show me how to cut your ladder jacket

[@WadeKratzmann]

Should definitely be keeping the heads or unless that's the payment to the sealife to eat, but definitely crabbers, would buy, or mince them for dog food or for pallet for farmed fish..

[@powellpker]

why dont they keep the leather jacket heads for bait?

Very very good technology 👍

[@Golden-dog88]

with traps like these you could harvest the invasive cod and spare the Australian natives

[@joedennehy386]

Why on earth do you take leather jackets out of the net, leaving snapper to suffocate before measuring and returning to the water?

[@joedennehy386]

@@jobbinal you get more money by teturning snapper fast so more snapper survive, then you catch.more later. Just not thinking

[@fishoheino2599]

Snapper and most fish can survive out of water for several minutes before their condition deteriorates. This does no harm to them and once they return to the water they swim off just as healthy as before.

[@joedennehy386]

@@fishoheino2599 thats no reason to leave them to wait longer than is neccessary while they grab leatherjackets. I have released many thousands of snapper and the faster they go back in the water the better. There is no excuse for it.

[@user-rr5ce1wb2j]

@@joedennehy386 Fisu caught on line are exhausted and have to go back immediately. The snapper in the trap had no fight to endure so they survive just fine out of the water that long.

[@waqarkhan25]

please trap the carp fish for human consumption

[@downunderfulla6001]

We shouldn’t have carp in Australia but for some reason they were smuggled in and released. They are a star rating of 2/10.

[@calvinlim2615]

exploitation and greed. no wonder no fish left in sydney, melbourne and adelaide

[@walomeister5632]

@K Andreis your 100% right. trapping is the most sustainable way to catch fish as the traps are fabricated in a way where only the desired sized fish gets trapped. It’s the things like weighted bottom trawling that is emptying the oceans let alone destroying the sea-bed.

[@abbimilagon5499]

Traps and long lines are the best way to fish.

[@abbimilagon5499]

@DHCETC spearing is awesome.i used to do it alot. But for supplying the fish market. They need alot of fish. Fish traps would be the best as you can let Go what's to small or the wrong species. We might have to start farming alot more fish species in the future. I've built aquiponics systems up for growing Barra and vegetables and fruits at the same time. But I still love diving. Even just for exploring and relaxing.👍

[@lachlanoneil8938]

Hah yeah in Sydney I would say it's the recreational fishermen doing this as there are almost no commercial fishermen there and they don't seem to catch fk all

[@Fire4FX]

NZ raping & pillaging the seas. Should see there snapper catches.

[@jcharlton9312]

In Australia we only fish 13 percent of our waters but amateur fishermen always got to blame someone for not being able to catch a fish

[@alastairwilliams9550]

Half the fish would be dead by the time they measure them

[@notrophyhuntersallowed4231]

media lead you beleive this is sustainable practice I assure you its far from that learn how to use a rod reel this practice must be banned

[@notrophyhuntersallowed4231]

Trapping needs to go learn to line fish
