[@philabowl8073]

What a knaughty knot!!! The trials and tribulations of a fisherman. Awesome video as always. Thanks from Oregon!!!

[@stuartelder7344]

Hi from Australia, l haven't commented for some time, lot of stuff going on here but l'm back with avengence. l could watch you guys for hours, l think Halibut fishing is my favourite, then l watch your Cod and Rockfish vids and l love them as well, it's like therapy for me, can't beat being on the water, take care and load that boat fella's and mum..😁

[@EISAlaska]

Welcome back, Stuart! Hope you’re having a good winter season. We definitely enjoy jigging, its pretty chill. Halibut longlining is super fun too.

[@billroyals7223]

Really enjoy watching ya'll doing all that it takes to begin each different fishing season. You take us with you as you prepare the boat, catch the fish, and get your catch to the processors. You truly have a family run business that continues to grow. I also enjoy watching ya'll doing repairs on your equipment, working on your new boat, and fixing your garden in between your many chores.Look forward to the next video.

[@jorgefernandez4145]

I really enjoy ya'lls video's showing what can happen instead of cutting that part out . please keep the video's coming.

[@orgcoast5990]

WOW! What a snarl. The 'long line' version of a bird's nest.

[@jennihudson9484]

Definitely training the young one he will be a pro shortly. As it’s a family business good to see the whole family participating.

[@EISAlaska]

Ignore the above scam Jenni, its not us.

[@teddytheyorkielowellpenner777]

I am positive you were the only one who did not think that was one heck of a tangled mess

[@andrewholliday5220]

Well done guys ,nice to hear Ts explanation on how to clean out the halibut

[@cindydenton2681]

Gotta just love watching these episodes, love to watch this family work together and share so much! Thanks again guy's! What a treasure we found when we literally hooked up with you , the fish we've purchased from you is all we will ever buy! Good Job as usual. Stay safe our there and God Bless you all!

[@EISAlaska]

Ignore the scam message Cindy, some unsavory character has been trying to scam people with our icon.

Little tangle tip for everyone when remaking your your pile of what ever never pull from the bottom of the pile always make sure your head end front end what ever you call it is at the top of your pile.

[@googeelou]

Wow! I I nervously watched EIS dad expertly untangle the line mess. Very impressive. Was afraid one of you would trip over the line. Nice fish haul. You guys rock! God bless.

[@scottdilley356]

Oh i forgot it all ended scrambled together. A great way to get up and see you guys again.

[@TheCaptainbeefylog]

Between this video and the one where you baited and dropped your sets, it's pretty much a crash course in commercial fishing. Very nice.

[@philmccumbee6938]

Looks like another good fishing trip. You three know how to get it done. I guess mom is there to cheer you on. You need to get mom to show us how to cook some fish.

[@ALLGODSDIE]

congrats on 65k ! I was just watching reruns on jigging for black rocks.. I see this channel having 100k in 2 month's or less.. thank y'all for quality fishing content..🐟

[@GoldVP...]

16months prior to that wasting, the Japan earthquake happened, and leaked radiation into the central pacific, which hit Vancouver Island on(where I live), flowing upwards to you, and all our starfish turned to mush...sad, but 3yrs later they started coming back again. Enjoyed the video guys, thanks ❤️🇨🇦🍻

[@jamesa4124]

Thanks again from another Aussie, it's always great to see you guys with a good haul.

[@EISAlaska]

Ignore the scam message James, been having some problems with a scam bot in comments.

@@EISAlaska No worries guys, Thanks.

[@ThoughtfulWander]

Nice job explaining the process for cleaning the halibut Tristan and Matt! very informative! 👍👍👊👊🎣🎣

[@Tom-np3en]

I spent many years as a deck hand on a deep sea charter vessel off the Queensland coast. A lot of time I spent undoing tangles for customers, I thought I was pretty good but you take the cake. Well done

[@lootllama8862]

That was a great video. Never new your reel would get tangled up like that. You guys stay safe. See you next time.

[@EISAlaska]

Yep, that was one of our bigger snarls. Thanks for coming along, Loot Llama!

[@akmalfishhunter]

Little treat seeing this pop up after work. Loving the upload briggs

Thanks Daroy. Glad you enjoyed it! Have a great evening.

Good job remaining calm during the line tangle.... i would have been saying some not so nice words.... nice video

[@Celtic-jr9cn]

Well done little bro. Your smash this now. Great vlog eis. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@chriskulpa4056]

Had to come back and watch a Halibut haul to recall how the mechanics worked. I'm amazed at how much was gone from that cod from the octopus.

[@EISAlaska]

They are ravenous! Wouldn’t wanna get in a scuffle with them underwater.

[@HungNguyen-gc5go]

Amazing. Hard working people. Thank you guys.

[@nathanchambers1006]

Good to see T out and at it. He needs more water time. Great video guys.

[@EISAlaska]

Ignore the scam message, seems someone is trying to impersonate us.

[@scottdilley356]

Thanks for the show..reminded me of scrambled eggs tomatoes fresh. and halibut checks a little surger breakfast or any time and toast and i always cooked hash browns. Oh our market was without heads most of the times

[@wranther]

Aside of the pesky knot fish you tangled with, real nice looking run with some fine halibut now ashore. May the good weather remain with you! -Bob...

[@EISAlaska]

Thanks, Bob!

[@wilwilliamson8831]

Just trying to play catch up with your vids, halibut fishing in Alaska is definitely on my bucket list 👍

Thanks for commenting, Jed!

Great episode! Keep rolling EIS team!! 👍👍👊👊

[@michaelbrausch8874]

I watched your videos so long I can tell a legal halibut as soon as it’s gets on the deck!

[@EISAlaska]

Haha! Yeah, once you’ve seen enough you definitely get an eye for legal fish. I do verify with the measuring table pretty frequently too.

[@flyingbeaver57]

Looks like another good day on the water, and a few fish in the hold to make it worthwhile. It's instructive to see how you all work easily & at a steady pace, teamwork without drama, just gettin' 'er done. It's mid-August today, and the days are beginning to noticeably shorten up. I think that this is the last time we'll be changing to/from Daylight Savings Time. There was a Referendum Ballot during the last Provincial election - I think that's how it ended up. Kind of makes sense, since everyone around Alberta has already given it up. But the summer, she's creeping away little by little. Ah well. Thanks for posting your video - enjoyable as always. Have a good summer, and whatch out for those Therbligs!

[@EISAlaska]

Thanks Flying Beaver. Yes, summer is starting to wane here also. Slight change in the colors with browns and yellows starting to creep in. It is still dark now at 5:00 am and summer is slipping away. Have a great fall and take care.

[@gary.southamptonangler]

Congratulations on 65k subs keep the vids coming love watching your vids in alaska here in uk

That was a great explanation and visual and a really nice haul stay safe my friends

[@ThoughtfulWander]

Great explanation on the weight and details Captain! 👍👍👊👊

[@kerrypitt9789]

Tristan is a young man of few but important words. I totally appreciate his humor and his analysis of situations. At one time you would have been a History Keeper. Just want you to know you are appreciated Tristan.

[@ericupton4527]

Tristan would be a good fire watcher!!!

[@waltertiamfook66]

Suggestion, before you drop them into the slush ice, put them on stringers so when you go to unload you just need to pull the stringers instead of individual fish?

[@michaelmount76]

Thanks for another great video guys

[@lesliefisk1269]

you guy's shows how it's done 👏👏👏

[@scottessery100]

44:45 that’s a long day 👍🏽😊

[@Stan_L]

Great video! Thanks for sharing.

[@allanragnarsson5929]

I see you have container from Sæplast Iceland, these are special made for small boats, to fit in their cargo room, to spare you work pulling every fish up by hand, you just ice the fish direct to the container and your work is much lighter :)

[@scottdore8391]

Hey you did well sir over here In Maine we call that a knife knot lol great video and great patience

[@EISAlaska]

Ignore the scam message, thats not us.

Good job family awesome work..

Epic haul! Love you guys!

[@Grandstaff_Au]

Very informative. Stay safe!

[@denali9449]

Tangles and snarls are a pain. On my second Halibut trip the old Norwegians let me do some hook baiting and line handling. We were using conventional gear with each skate in a tub. The baited hooks and gangions were spliced onto the ground line and coiled into the tubs. One set I was tasked with tying the skates together. When done properly it is a thing of beauty to watch as the gear pays out the chute from one tub to the next. But, when the 'new guy' ties a skate in backwards it is an awful mess. The entire skate was pulled out of the tub and over the chute before anyone could say a word. The next skate payed out perfectly. I spent the next six hours bearing the stares and curses of the entire crew, knowing what kind of mess we were facing when we pulled that set. As the set was hauled my dread grew as we approached my tangle. It never came. Each skate came in with a fish on almost every hook and nary a whisper of a snarl. No one said a word or declared that I was a lucky dog, nothing. Just more stares whenever I tied the skates for the next set. At the end of that trip the crew voted me a full share and offered me a bunk for the next year. I got into crabbing and trawling out west and never went back to the schooners but 45 years later I still think about those days.

[@idolfishing]

Hi guys nice video watching from Philippines 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭

[@simonr6643]

Interesting how you clean them.

[@noemarin3237]

Good job boys

[@scottdilley356]

Almost all fish squid octopus clams crabs even all fish guts can be used for halibut we used all of these we would run ten hooks of each and take the results from a couple sets and whatever was working best we wood start using 25 hooks oh and at night we would jig and fish for bait in a area of our set's it would show what was around lol and it was fun we ate alot of squids just some of. My memories

[@nathanclarke5040]

Use need to do a video on how your products are processed

[@tomtribby2309]

I dont understand why you put the black cod back it looked like a very nice fish.

[@douglasstehr3877]

What a great Team Len. I noticed you kept an octopus on this trip. Do you eat them? I love octopus sushi.

[@oldladyfish]

C O D !!! YUM !

[@anthonyaldava2784]

NICE JOB

[@richardrife1659]

How much longer is it going to be on the other boat to get it ready for fishing love your show down to earth real people instead of putting on that’s what I like about you all the most straight up I have any years in state care love to come up and visit when they go fishing

[@scottdilley356]

Oh and we cleaned cut the heads off and dip them in a plastic garbage can solution and freeze all we're dipped twice 24 hours apart more work for us...i love your videos stay safe

[@scottdilley356]

My brain isnt working righ so what do i do lol

[@scottdilley356]

Thanks for just being here for a old disabled guy

[@EISAlaska]

Ignore thae scam message Scott, that isnt us.

[@marknunya3035]

❓ What happens to the octopus are you able to use it for bait? As always fair weather and calm seas. Good luck and God bless.

[@bennyrobles9194]

Can you smoke the halibut.? Thx for the info in advance.! Greetings from the Dutch Caribbean.!

[@kenn8563ify]

Hi guys, wow that's what I call a birds nest !!!!!

[@timolski1427]

Great Video as always. When you were hauling in the tangle, why were so many baits worn out?? Crabs or current??

[@EISAlaska]

Sand fleas! They can eat fish up pretty fast if the conditions are right.

[@johncortesi4288]

What do you do with the octopus? Do you have specific buyers for that type of fish?

[@ThoughtfulWander]

So when we going to see halibut lunch options from the EIS team? Catch and cook? hehe :)

[@michaelbrausch8874]

Can you use skates for bait?

[@garyammerman2153]

Len, When you are talking "net weight" (gutted, head off) what about the cheek meat? Do you not market that and isn't it counted in your yearly poundage quota? My favorite habilut cut for halibut tacos for sure. Great video!

[@EISAlaska]

Hi Gary. The net weight is what is deducted from our quota. The processors also base the ex-vessel price pay on the net weight. Technically the heads are the fisherman's property to do with as they please. Most don't bother with cheeks. We do have ours's processed and sell on our website. Cheeks amount to 1% or so of net weight. And your right, cheeks are delicious and the best cut!

[@paulsimpson9993]

Cod tacos yummy

[@johnmeeks9618]

When offloading, halibut in the blue box, cod on the left, what is the pile on the right?

[@EISAlaska]

Ignore the scam message seems someone is trying to impersonate us.

[@dmltrylarin6698]

Hi guys. Not a bad catch! If, for example, I went with you to the halibut fishery, a member of the team on deck, how much would I be able to earn in a month?

[@fanznoize]

`super video

Nice haul but what a messy situation you guys are in. I've got a strong feeling that that rope is made in China.
