Fishing While Ship Is Anchored | Chief MAKOi Seaman Vlog

[@seastacker8582]

Cultures may vary a bit, but fishing is just one of those universal things that brings people together. Great episode!

[@saml7610]

You're absolutely right. One of my favorite moments in my life was just sitting on a dock in a tiny town in Costa Rica on the Pacific side, and an old man came down and started fishing. He pointed at his pole and it was clear he was asking if I wanted to fish with him. I nodded, he disappeared for a minute, and came back with a second pole and a larger tackle box. We just sat there for hours and fished together, it was really nice. My Spanish was bad, so communication was hard, but we still had a good connection by sharing the experience itself.

[@irongoatrocky2343]

The worst time fishing is always better than the best day working!

[@mikecumbo7531]

Eating also brings people together, particularly if you are eating what the group just caught.

Facts brother

[@jameslanning8405]

Some old memories Chief... When I was a sailor, I was on an LST. And we sometimes lowered the "fantail gate," Which was a big door at the stern, that opened up to allow amphibious vehicles to go in and out. But sitting at anchor, the gate served as a great platform to stand on, just a few inches above the waterline and cast our lines. One sailor, got hooked into a 'skate!' It had to be a monster, and it snapped the line! "The one that got away!" And almost took a sailor with it! lol

[@LimestoneCoastCustoms]

I love the message here. While we all have our place & parts to fill in our roles, no one is above anyone else as humans. Something that I have always recognised is the respect you have of all ranks not matter what. The fact that deck hands have caught & fed everyone including ranking officials is not lost with you, ever! Much respect & happy travels!

[@13699111]

I agree with your comment

[@MrBigShotFancyPants]

I met a captain or 10 who may disagree. Lol But that's commercial fishing not shipping.

@@MrBigShotFancyPants there's arrogance to be found in every walk of life... Those that don't value what others do/contribute are POOR in Character, regardless of size of bank account...

[@MrBigShotFancyPants]

@@patrickjordan2233 1) My comment was a joke. 2) Captain status at sea has nothing to do with money, more a meritorious thing. 3) The captain saved my life once.

[@ashleycrawford1896]

What a good way of getting all members on board to come together and just enjoy the simple things in life, love your work chief take care

[@TheEddyrose1]

Thanks for the memories Chief, often when we were anchored, almost all of us onboard started fishing, there is nothing better than fresh caught fish, I remember the chief cook getting upset because it was steak night and most of us only wanted fish!

[@scottsaulsbury4887]

Hey, Chief! Whenever you're bound for the Columbia River again, please let me know. I live in Astoria and fairly regularly paddle out to the ships at anchor in my kayak. I'm ex-USN and spent a bit of time in the PI in 1984. Some of my favorite shipmates were from the PI, and I learned a lot from serving alongside them. We never got to fish from the ship (it was an aircraft carrier... that makes fishing tough!), but the cross-cultural benefits on the mess decks was undeniable! I love your videos and your dedication to professionalism.

[@williamwilliam728]

As a Canadian married to a Filipina and now living in the Philippines, I throughly enjoyed this fish fiesta. Nothing beats fresh fish fried or roasted over hot coals. It just peels off of the bones. Chief, you don't like doing the dirty work with the fish... haha 😆 Thanks for sharing the human side of being a seafarer.

[@miketarbox1190]

One of my best memories of my time in the service involved my CHENG. We had just completed a rather strenuous exam called OPPE(Operational Propulsion Plant Examination). We passed it with flying colors and no issues were noted. For this, our CHENG took the entire crew, well, everyone that wasn't on watch, to the base club and pulled out his credit card. We feasted like KINGS that night. No idea what the total damages were.

[@hoots00]

You do a wonderful job with your videos and your channel. I love learning about the seafarer’s way of life. The way you present the topics with your narration, light music, and great editing have captured me since I saw one of your videos more than a year ago. Thank you for what you do.

[@WaterburnerActual]

Howzit Chief!?! Thank you for another Typically Outstanding Video! It was informative, entertaining, and in the end, relaxing to think about the video as a whole. Tks again, and as always, looking forward to seeing more of your seafaring videos. Take Care and. Stay SAFE!!

[@martrex]

So many vivid memories of my travels around the the Pacific with Fijian crews. As well as fishing that happened at anchor, trawling off the stern of the oil tankers in the company I worked with, for tuna, wahu, dolphin mahi-mahi and an occasional barracuda was always popular, . Especially when you'd get the good skippers that would sail around the atoll reefs that abounded with wildlife. Conway Reef was notable, The crew caught enough fish to hire a refidgerated truck on arrival in Lautoka (Fiji) and send the catch by road to their families in Suva. As one Chief Engineer to another, thank you for refreshing my memories.

[@davidbenner2289]

Back! I can stop my strike! I had stopped eating canned sardines until your shows came back up! Now, it's feast time!

[@PinoySeamanTv]

the best video creator in the planet so far salute Sir Chief MAKOi 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭

[@robertgeorgewerner]

Chief, looks like those fish knew they were going to get a chance to feature in one of your videos and couldn't wait. What a wonderful slice of life. Thank you for sharing. And thank you and your team for all the hard work you guys do for us

[@1rembo69]

So good to see you back on youtube & so good to see the crew being able to enjoy fun when the work can be set aside!!! For me I like to see improvised cooking grill top & pans!! 😛😛

[@randyclyde4939]

Thanks Chief! A good lesson for everyone. No matter their particular position (in life or work) camaraderie is important for everyone. Developing friendship and instilling respect at the same time can be difficult. When leadership understands that we're all equal as humans and should all be treated with respect, we will all do better. Thanks!

[@selfcorrectingunit8671]

Especially enjoyed watching the crew hand line! You can tell they are quite experienced with this kind of fishing.

[@bobbyp3428]

Nice vlog Chief!

[@jackiejanetm]

As always, it's delightful to see you Chief! Great video. All the best to you and your great ship mates!

[@alainaarrhodge5900]

I love this video Chief! The guys free-hand fishing and just enjoying being alive and free. Thanks for sharing the joys of your crew with us!

[@antoniocacal211]

Reminded me of the years during my command. Together with off duties crew, I did fishing too while waiting OPL anchorage. I'm now 70 and retired. Excellent job Chief. Salute!!!!!

[@seanmcgee8184]

AWESOME please keep these videos coming I really look forward to your new content THANX FOR SHARING

[@FloridaJack]

Men across all cultures share this activity. Enjoyed watching you and your crew doing exactly what I have done all my 73 years when I had the chance. Thank You, for the update.

[@ohasis8331]

You can't beat a good work crew for getting things done properly, with ease and just good all round fun.

[@stephenhope7319]

I swear this is true Chief. I am out in my garage watching your video while getting a project ready and as soon as your video gets to the grilling of the fish, I smell bbq!!!! My neighbor fired up his bbq as your video was showing!! I thought my Mac had developed special powers of door simulation :) Thanks for another great video.

[@rebelbelle62]

It's wonderful to see you lads enjoying a spot of fishing. It makes for a nice time and a great supper.😊

[@McTroyd]

Nice catch, Chief! And that paint job's looking pretty sharp too. 👍

[@rexmyers991]

GREAT Video, Chief. Very good editing and a great story. Thank you.

[@jp-um2fr]

I know nobody reading this will believe me Chief but some months ago my wife and I ate some frozen cod. As I threw the packet away I saw the use by date. The cod had been at the bottom of our chest freezer for 4 YEARS. It tasted fine and we had no problems. However we always look at the date now. Your crew do look a happy lot. Great video my friend.

[@paulus12345]

Having a meal of freshly caught fish, shared by ALL the crew (regardless of rank) is PRICELESS and is better than any "team building" exercise!

[@benclark1753]

Excellent video, thanks. The funnel looks immaculate with it's fresh paint!

Been there, done that 50 years ago Chief. Very happy memories. Thanks for the reminder.

[@cullenmiller8170]

Looks like your new assignment comes with a great crew. Lots of smiles. 👍

[@FreddieExPath]

This one Reminded me of a story my father told med, from the time he was at sea as a marine engineer in the merchant fleet during the late 1940s to early 1950s, when, of all places, the ship he was serving aboard was laying at anchor somewhere off the coast of the Phillippines, at some time during the early part of 1948🙂. I think it started with some traders from a nearby village coming out to them in outrigger canoes, looking for opportunities to do trade with the crew aboard the ship. And from there it developed into much of the crew being taken ashore on the outrigger canoes for a sightseeing trip to the village ashore. In fact, my dad took some pictures of the occasion. And I inherited the photo album with the pictures in concern, after my mother passed away not so long ago (at 92). So, this video inspired med to have a look at the album and those pictures 👍🙂.

[@martinosborne2842]

Lovely post...thank you...👏👏

[@marclattoni1959]

I very much enjoy these insights into seafaring life. Thanks!

[@13699111]

Chief like many of the comments I can't even begin to describe my feelings of working with working for highly qualified individuals like yourself . It's a whole different world of family first living working together for the benefit everything possible . I'm not a word master I'm thinking of all the positive . Thank you for posting all the great videos on your channel chief .

[@johnpaulhenry2566]

I love to see people when they are laughing and happy! Thank you.

[@danielsplayhouse3804]

That's actually a good message that you put out there cuz I already know it's tight quarters and the time being around each other can be the monotony and just to break free to do some fishing and break bread together makes a good friendship and a good crew!!!!

[@FLGurl]

One of my most favorite meals while vacationing was when my late husband and I were in Santo Dominoca where I had selected fresh caught fish. They grilled it, and presented it on the plate without the intestines. My husband thought I would refuse, but I was in love with this offering. It was the best fish I had in a very long time. So fresh and just for me. Yes, it was almost whole but without the intestines, but was so good. I grew up with fresh fish caught and grilled to eat, so this was nothing new to me at all. Yum!

[@marksaunders2500]

Hi from uk Chief MAKOi and crews👋👍 great to see you guys bringing a weathered ship back to life and will be brand new again soon with a bit time and hard work 👌 and what better way to celebrate a hard day and free time time, to string a hook and throw that line. And your right there's nothing better than fresh fresh fish rather than freshly frozen pleased you all enjoyed I almost smelt the aroma of the food 👌 thanks for your time be safe and see you soon 👍 👋

Wow, look at all those Mackerel!! Some good eating for the crew for DAYS!!!!! Too bad you don't have a smoker. Could smoke a lot of them and store them for the long voyage. One of the healthiest oil fish there is! I could literally SMELL that grilled Mackerel!!! Had me drooling!!!

Until you have had fresh fish, you will never understand how good it is over frozen stuff... Also, it keeps traditional skills alive, boosts morale, and keeps you occupied. Glad to see the more lighthearted side of being part of the crew.
