[@EISAlaska]

We're glad you're enjoying our videos! Cheers, William!

[@williamsnapp2605]

Thanks for the video 👍 It's remarkable how a family of four can feed thousands. Love it!

[@EISAlaska]

Thank you William. We are truly honored to help put food on families tables. We are blessed in our profession.

[@TENDRIL77]

I like how you guys show everything about real fishing....good and bad... it is awesome. You guys had a hell of a haul this round! Thanks for sharing!

[@topwatchtopwatch4967]

WOW! THE HALIBUT JUST KEEP ON COMING. Nice!

[@andybowyer3602]

And matt your a really nice kid your relationship with your father is beautiful cherish your days out at sea you've got something special, following in your fathers footsteps seems a rare thing these days!

[@sandtowalk]

Thanks Matt for looking after Pops your a great son

[@philipmccumbee3624]

Nice haul. Take a break and rest for a few days.

[@Meidas_Lea]

A little off topic here ... I stumbled upon the videos of Coast Guard Alaska - Kodiak. Eye opening and some are exceedingly sad. Beautiful and amazing scenery. You guys please be careful in your travels.

[@EISAlaska]

The USCG is amazing. A very valued asset for our communities and the nation. No mater what your walk in life or situation, they are there and ready to lend a hand. Injured hikers, medical emergencies on land or sea, lost hunters it makes no difference.

[@russellgallagher7839]

Beautiful looking fish my mouth is watering. Lovely looking fillets nice and white. Good vid.

[@Audrii382]

Good morning guys, WOW 😲 I love fishing 🎣🎣🎣🎣 GOD BLESS YOU Guy ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹🌹 From SINGAPORE 🇸🇬

[@alannba1156]

Thank you for your time, your videos are awesome 👍 , see you on the next one 👋

[@johnbush2798]

Another terrific fishing adventure guys! The best way to describe your family commercial fishing business is "harmony". You all work very hard, but compliment each other so well. I have been watching for many months and I've never heard anyone ask someone else to do anything...because you all truly work together and everyone knows what needs to happen/when in order to accomplish the tasks at hand (whether its fishing, gardening, or refurbishing or repairing or reconstructing your two boats...you all are like a well practiced team or a finely tuned machine. Your talents, skill sets and especially your family's close-knit relationship is inspirational. EIS is one of my favorite KZbin channels!

[@EISAlaska]

Really appreciate your kind words, John! Thanks so much for your support.

[@stevenhusted1565]

Love that family and how they risk there lives to feed us., The old saying is true. Commercial fisherman help us live better. Have a Merry Christmas.

[@EISAlaska]

Happy holidays Steven! Thanks for tuning in.

[@stevenhusted1565]

@@EISAlaska I was a commercial fisherman, and I love watching you guys, it brings me back to some of my best memories I have ever had thanks. I'm your biggest fan. Thanks I love all of you.

[@koslund11]

Nice to see your Mom on the boat. She sure was bundled up on this video. Tell T we said hi. Looks like it's getting cold. Here in the UP of Mich we're in the 10s overnight and in the low 20s to mid 30s in the daylight. Snow usually waits till the new year to blast up for a few months. Your short days are a killer. The long days of summer sure make up for it. Love visiting the mainland Alaska but after watching your videos, I feel I missed a beautiful part of it. Maybe next time.

[@EISAlaska]

Thanks for commenting, koslund! I'll tell him. Usually we don't get super cold here, being in the gulf whenever a southeast-southerly comes in it brings moisture so warms it up (also creates a big sloppy slushy mess). Hope you can make it backup someday!

[@topwatchtopwatch4967]

GREAT JOB. ENJOY YOUR DOWNTIME.

[@jeffreyloftus3617]

Surely it would save a lot of wear and tear on the back to get some custom built boxes to sit in the fish hold !.

[@williamtukeyjr3661]

Well done folks--should be a nice check.

[@emasbury]

Good to see you kept the best for yourself. :)

[@lukejansen2321]

Nice fish! 🐟

[@EISAlaska]

Thanks! 👍

[@strawcarpenter9559]

Beautiful pile of nice fish. I'm feeling the need for some cod! Any frozen fish we get around here all list sodium tripolyphosphate as an ingredient so that the fillets soak up water like a sponge and weigh more. You have to squeeze it before cooking. And the taste and quality never comes close to yours.

[@EISAlaska]

We sure appreciate your support, Straw!

[@jackarmer8560]

Great catch Guys now you can get out of the weather and stay warm glad you had a safe trip with no problems . Now time for coffee .

[@bobpaup4222]

Guy's Thank You for the video!! Nice average in the off load for the time of year. Salty brine can be rough on the hands and legs. Have you guys looked into neoprene waders and gloves. I'm glad you made it home safe. 👍👏👏👏👏

[@EISAlaska]

We wear neoprene gloves, the atlas gloves that are orange and blue. As for our legs the Grunden bibs do the trick, unless you kneel down and water runs in, you're just fine.

[@Audrii382]

I like to watch your video, ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@ThoughtfulWander]

Be safe EIS crew and enjoy the time off! Stay warm!!

[@fightinglady52]

Awesome business you guys have. Been watching several days now. Your videos show a family fully committed to the fishing industry. Keep them coming. I need to try some of your catch, add a little variety to our menu. We catch and eat: pompano, trout, reds, flounder, mackerel to name a few.

[@ronald8ish]

Great teamwork

[@googeelou]

Thank you for sharing another video. Much respect and admiration for the hard work you guys put into your fishing. God Bless!

[@donaldtouchton9523]

Awesome job.!!

[@lewandlo]

You should keep your throats on those fish and sell them. Some people really like them . Another way to pay for gas on that boat. I dont know if you do that already. Great videos. Cheers from Ontario.

[@jimengle1615]

I like to go down each side of the dorsal fin b4 finishing out the fillet, it gives a better angle for the second side.

[@rickeybakerbaker8915]

[@greengus5258]

i was told if you remove the head after the 1st side the 2nd side is easier.

[@EISAlaska]

That might be true, help flatten out the fish. Great tip, Gus!

[@ThoughtfulWander]

Question - how do you all clean out your holds on the boat after a haul? Are there some sort of regs that say you have to use something to sanitize it or anything like that? Duh had to keep watching to see you do it. sorry about that... hehe

[@timothyfoster7564]

Very good haul. when the new boat is ready are the two of you each run a boat ? and well your son be a deck hand on one of the boats?

[@adiharmayadi4495]

GOOD Job

[@mrpatrickwilson1]

As fishermen, what are you most pleased to catch for your own table and how do you cook it?

[@EISAlaska]

Yelloweye rockfish followed by cod and black rockfish. All delicious species and so easy to prepare in just about any dish. We hade yelloweye sliders with a side of coleslaw for dinner last nite. It was so tasty!

[@getsemedina1399]

Saludos desde mexico yo tambien soy pescador

[@karldahl4113]

Beautiful catch, and iced perfectly for the processor. I have a feeling that "yellow eye" is your favorite, is it? Are they in the wasse family? Great trip guys, not you can rest for a few days!

[@karldahl4113]

Now you can rest

[@karldahl4113]

Waw great catching fish

[@williammcdonald3293]

With the bigger boat will you be able to go out fishing in more inclement weather and longer with that larger fish hold? ty for the video nice haul.

[@EISAlaska]

That's the plan William! It's hard to fish the little boat in the winter, and the Emerald Isle will also allow us to fish some areas further away from town.

[@andybowyer3602]

How much bigger is the new boat?? Cheers andy

[@gazellis1961]

Awesome video and catch guys...just how many trips do you make fishing for Halibut and Cod a year?

[@EISAlaska]

Thanks, gazellis! This season we did 4 or 5 trips.

[@garyammerman2153]

Nice offload Len/Matt! Looks like catch numbers are holding up later in the season...always good. Do you guys target black cod... which used to be a good fishery for us down here in WA?

[@EISAlaska]

Thanks Gary. No we don't hold any blackcod quota. We have considered getting into the fishery, especially with the advent of slinky pots. It's a big investment though.

[@BraianLC22]

Wow, very good fishing brothers, how many kilos did you deliver? greetings from Argentina!

[@EISAlaska]

This was around 1500 lbs if I recall correctly.

[@wranther]

Good to see you made it to offload before the blow landed upon you up there! On some of your smaller halibut, what is an average dressed weight on smaller halibut? Just watching Matt cut the yellow eye filets, do you have a market for the skeletal remains? Just curious of how such remains could be used for fish stock? Hope you ride out that storm Safely and remain Healthy! -Bob...

[@EISAlaska]

We usually end up with around 52% yield on them, hard to tell the difference between big and small. The carcass would make great stock.

[@eddysantana1504]

Yo. Quiero. Vivir y. Aya. En. Alaska.

[@kennethmorgan6591]

Good catch and yeah nice filets on those yellow eyes. Never have caught or tasted a yellow eye. How similar do they taste compared to ling cod ? Cheers

[@EISAlaska]

I think they taste similar, slightly more buttery perhaps. Very firm and thick flakes.

[@allen2473]

How's the new boat coming along. Have you had a chance to work on it lately

[@EISAlaska]

It's coming along slowly but surely. November really got away from us but we're getting back to it now.

[@martygrove3986]

Will you be able to aquire a second (larger take) halibut permit for the Emerald Isle and still keep the existing halibut permit for the Fish Tale? Or will you just use the Fish Tale and the long-line gear to catch halibut?

[@EISAlaska]

For now we plan to continue fishing halibut on the Fish Tale. We'll definitely keep it in mind going forward on the Emerald Isle.

[@hansulrichjohner2694]

Some 15 years ago we caught some cod in Ireland but the meat was full of nematodes. Do you have this problem in Alaska too?

[@EISAlaska]

We get some with parasites at times. Bringing them down to temp for a period of time kills any missed in processing.

[@hansulrichjohner2694]

@@EISAlaska Thanks for the answer!

[@sandtowalk]

What do you do with the orange fish take home and eat

[@robincraven2911]

WAS THAT A SNAPPER OR A ORANGE GROUPER ????? Okay I heard you say yellow eyed we don't call them that in Florida

[@EISAlaska]

Yep, Yellow Eye. They are marketed as red snapper down south.

[@teddytheyorkielowellpenner777]

Out of the 3 different fish on board what do you like the best.? And also which payed the best halibut or cod?

[@EISAlaska]

Yelloweye is my favorite! Halibut pays the most by a large margin.

[@topwatchtopwatch4967]

WHEN YOU ARE OUT FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS LIKE THIS TRIP, APPROXIMATELY HOW MUCH IS YOUR FUEL COSTS?

[@EISAlaska]

On a three day trip with a 12 hour run to the grounds we will burn 70 - 80 gallons of fuel. So somewhere in the range of $250 dollars.

[@stephenhall5430]

What do you guys like better halibut or salmon. Which pays the best

[@EISAlaska]

Salmon. We don't really eat much halibut. Halibut pays better though.

[@richardnace9926]

Great catch! What was the total weight of the catch?

[@EISAlaska]

I believe the round weight was around 2500 pounds of halibut. Cod was 250 pounds or so.

[@jerrygonzales4006]

Nice catch! I was scrolling down to see if anyone asked this. Great videos as always 😊

[@harrystokes1412]

I'm curious about expenses, fuel, bait, permits, and other gear. And what market is paying for Halibut, cod, crabs and other fishes. Is it worth the expense, maintenance and labor?

[@googeelou]

Is this same fish processing center you always use. I ask cause you usually have nets lowered down to load the fish on. Different company this time???

[@EISAlaska]

Yes, different company. New kids on the block so good to spread the work around. They will get a brailer (net) soon we hope!
