Commercial Dungeness Crab Fishing

commercial dungeness crab fishing off the coast of north california on F/V Donna Mia

[@oregonpatriot1570]

One of the best things about living in Oregon is the winters, when fresh Dungeness crabs are around $7.00 per pound! *I eat a BUNCH every year. **_THANKS FOR WHAT YOU GUYS DO!_*

[@realdeal1986]

Nice work boy's, you guys look like a well oil machine out there! I wish I could go and experience that for about 1 day.

[@CAKESBYMEME]

This is a perfect video to demonstrate perfect team work.

[@tylerbenton3734]

Am I the only one that had their mouth drooling the whole time?

[@NoName-np8ko]

+Tyler Benton Nope, I am STARVING right now!!!!!

[@roberteddy8025]

It's nice to see two people work so well together, it looks like they've done it once or twice. That's a lot of crab as well.

[@spunkmonkey5000]

Nice to see the catch landed, sorted and the smaller crabs put back Asap. 👌🏻

[@jeronimomod156]

This is cool!!! It's like a miniature version of Deadliest Catch!!😍👍🤟👌

[@richardalvarez1294]

[@Jsmith6367]

[@panikojp]

[@nuaso7143]

[@imwithstupid6730]

[@jorgeavalos2593]

Crazy octopus at 4:20!

[@IIIIIIllIIIl]

[@bigmurff]

Target Unicorn yee!

[@VietboyGamerUSA]

+Jorge Avalos that's really big octopus.

[@petermz8770]

he ate all the crap in that cage

[@doctoredable]

Why did you release the octopus? If you kept it you guys would have had food for many days!!

[@prettyiskelz3259]

When that one crab that be sitting out for the longest finally moved and made into the water 🙆🏾‍♀️🙆🏾‍♀️

[@barrysimkins3668]

very fast,working as a team and good haul. how many times have you hit your mate with that rod

[@alexkg1]

18:51 That one crab almost got away when it managed to go over the table! Then it got picked up and tossed back in. FREEDOM DENIED! HAHA

[@MrTatts64]

Excellent! Thoroughly enjoyed the video. And oh man, what I wouldn't give for some nice fresh crab. Cromer Crab, of course ;)

[@dickdagger3279]

love the clip guys

[@bugaljuice]

i like how that one crab is hiding.

[@jimstevenson9033]

Jorge Avalos Great video Bro!!! What is the weight that you guys strive for? Tank Filler? And the average per lb., gross you total out for? Enjoyed this video and became a new subscriber!! Best of luck to you, your other mate and Capt!!

[@jimcaptaindollakdollak6036]

Crab Animals Cap V good job guys.

[@FlintF]

Wow. What strikes me is how strict they handle the width of the crabs; too small goes overboard.

[@wesleymonske8103]

You guys are pro's . Hard workers ....tell the lazy boss you need a raise and a tip 😉 not like the last one either.. look both way before crossing the street !

[@Ats192]

Nice team work

[@MrUnderthesea]

Wow! Using this for my Marine Bio Class to see you at work!

[@dianedelcarlo6555]

MrUnderthesea hope they like it its the f/v seeker in Charleston oregon

[@krisolyboy1823]

thank you for sharing.. awesome team work fellas..

[@leomartinez4398]

20:12 that crab got tossed so perfect lol

[@jackli7230]

Leo Martinez 良冖

[@TheReefRobber]

Thanks for sharing. I subscribed and liked.

[@cannotsin1]

Thank you for sharing.Great video. You could not pay me enough to work that hard ! How many feet do you fish for the crab ? Oh and looks like you did not check for males or females or perhaps your so quick? I missed that please explain Thanks A Lot ! Well oiled machine !

[@cannotsin1]

Cannotsin How deep do you fish? Thanks Again !

[@menolastnameneeded1023]

+Cannotsin its dungenus so im guessing 0-400 ft

[@wesleymonske8103]

More like 100' to 225. Dungeness like eel grass. Then shrimp 225 - 400' ft. Spot shrimp is the stuff. Holy crap batman ! Break tail off , butterfly raw best stuff ever. Thats what shrimp should taste like. Like crab when they die they release bile into their blood to decompose (its ammonia) the funky fishy taste. Fresh is best.

[@sandracoomber2107]

COULD WATCH YOU ALL DAY!

[@tfoen7678]

cool video. Are you using a GoPro camera? 4:20-ya could've made crazy calamari, folks love it over there? Unless Cali laws forbid it.

[@2011blueman]

I'm wondering about the practice of dragging the haled line back in the water as you're retrieving the pot. Aren't you risking getting the line stuck in the propeller?

[@chapmanhere3397]

No they have buoys and are driving away from the buoys watch in the video

[@wesleymonske8103]

No

[@garyjohnson679]

Best crab in the world right there Dungeness crab

[@rickkania8398]

Great vid, thanks.

[@michelleleighty9302]

your sitting on that bar scared the heck out of me what were you thinking ??

[@Kanikapila00]

What a rythym...you guys just clicked

[@captaincappy7810]

Great video wish i could get a job doing that

[@tomharrell1954]

Dam good haul. You two guys are a ass kickin crew. Super Way to work together. I hope you get paid good.

[@puaaono-jeremiah1430]

True pros. What a haul.

[@pnaoto4949]

Looks yummy! Octopus also, wanna eat.

[@deewhyy7012]

Meanwhile, Patrick Star and his new wife are lying on the floor, wondering how the hell they caught an Uber to Hell’s Kitchen

[@xevious2501]

did you guys catch the huge octopus they tossed back.. what a loss.

[@nashcarlos]

That's red gold right there

[@TheamazingFisherman-yb7ox]

Damn that octopus looks delicious.

[@rebecca-chrisndrewsmom]

Do you keep both females and males since you are commercial

[@wishec22]

and the stars?

[@BIGFLIPCOINS]

I got you bro and great work.

[@WizzleThump]

Why is there stuff tied to the pole you use to grab the bouey?

[@alexkg1]

WizzleThump I'm guessing maybe for grip?

[@BrokenRRT]

WizzleThump - so you can see it when it falls in and floats away

[@joeorwell4323]

I wonder how much money on average each crab is worth?

[@henrymorales549]

you guys run like a machine

[@TheChevyboy420]

Man I'd love to do this

[@kevinlee3137]

I did it, working under Phil Harris, on the MV Shishaldin, a long time before He owned the Cornelia Marie.

[@jorgeavalos2593]

We use squid and mackerel

[@jacobfox8681]

most commercial crabers use clams

[@BrokenRRT]

Jacob Fox - most commercial crabbers use what works and they can afford!

[@DarnellHendeason-dk3uw]

Abortion leftover

[@sexylila19]

damn that was a big ass octopus woah!

[@doctoredable]

Pull, empty, re bait and drop!! Then check for shorts. The string gets moved into the prevailing sea. Do it again.

[@kevinlin642]

u guys run a nice system

[@captainfun11]

Great Video J, See you out there this year?

[@titanicshipssquad6771]

Did they even measure the crabs

[@michelleleighty9302]

how the heck many are you allowed to harvest in a day , that's wild

[@briantalbot1452]

Open fishery, once the season starts you can catch as many as you can until the season closes

[@chriciamariegaudia5784]

I wouldve made the octopus a pet. Hahaha..

[@goldvulcan9284]

Good jobs guys keep my tummy happy lol

[@simonheine2996]

How many gallons is your live well tank?

[@qcryptz1404]

The carb in the bottom center at 26:45 is makin me laugh

[@Dosindapendence]

what he say to you?

[@michelleleighty9302]

were you headed for port at this time to unload ?

[@dylanbigley1633]

How do you start your own fishery?

[@johnechterhoff4791]

What are you using for bait?

[@BrokenRRT]

Hi Jorge are you still fishing? Know of any crab boats for sale in the area?

[@michaeltarasenkoop2389]

how many pots are there on a line ?

[@DogsRC]

How can I get some expierence in this line of work

[@michaeltarasenkoop2389]

Nice to see them check for size and male or female I guess ! That is how we can sustain our fish population

[@yiowd.768]

Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed it. Both dungeness n video. Sad dungeness is expensive where m at. Thanks to UTube too

[@solangerodrigues7396]

Nossa trabalha muito rápido legal👍👍👍

[@bradgillis3701]

How does the trailing line stay out of the screws? neat video.

[@Andersbrook]

+brad gillis You mean the propeller?

[@bradgillis3701]

Anders Brook Yes, another name for propellor to some..

[@Andersbrook]

yeah! I think they have "sinkrope" on it (directly translated from swedish) so it lower itself under the prop :) Atleast that is how it works when i fish lobster :)

[@bradgillis3701]

Anders Brook Ah ok. is it a weighted line?

[@Andersbrook]

Yeah, kind of! have a nice weekend man! :)

[@michelleleighty9302]

throw the star fish back in and stop stepping on them please and ty , nice teamwork :) \

[@paintedbird6791]

In oversea market, that Octopus would have earn you 1000

[@AndynTiffanyfishing]

[@jinfeng6220]

[@viktorcheng2061]

Why are Dungeness crab prices so jacked up nowadays?

[@BrokenRRT]

Viktor Cheng - best tasting crab there is!

[@trenchcoatbandit]

two bait jars in one pot? dose it work?

[@Dosindapendence]

really?your really asking that question

[@simonrandall5471]

There's one hiding at the bottom of the screen.

[@deewhyy7012]

You stepped on a starfish bro

[@homeishere2089]

26:36 that one crab staring into the camera, LMFAO!

[@michelleleighty9302]

so do you get all the crab you can eat for meals ? lol

[@jeep8778]

Why didnt catch octopus , fried octopus with lemon and garlic good

[@blueg3027]

cringed so fucking hard with that comment

[@erikdevaney4781]

that crab @31:30 looked as if he was throwing a tantrum like a 5 year old..

[@danrivca6896]

Hi, Great job !! I'm hymatized watching this video for over 20 minutes ! I wonder what kind of bait is best to catch the crabs ? Thank you, Dan

[@matthewcasagrande231]

Squid

[@wesleymonske8103]

Squid for Dungeness, also turkey legs or duck . They are greasy and chum the area. Herring and anchovy work well too. Its s matter of how many tide changes (the soaking time) .anything from the sea works. Fresh is best ! Not stink bait.(old stuff) I found the best to be bbq colonel chicken. Fresh tuna ,duck , mackerel . Stink bait they have to hold their noses with one claw. Less productive plus it stencihes the pots. When you stor them it will attract rodents. You can hose down pots to remove the fresh smells. Its kinda like girls 👧. Bath often.

[@my4daughter]

That is sad you had to put back most the crabs in the water because they were small.

[@BrokenRRT]

Miami Lash - not just small but also female.

[@angelamalini6852]

Don"t throw it in the ocean , throw it towards my house lolz !

[@yiowd.768]

Good to see some toss back. Good for future generations>both dungeness n humans
