Luke, your comment, “really, any boat that’s not mine is fun” is classic. We can tell you’re having fun working hard. Thumbs up!!

[@jimratliff2753]

You are a hustling kid. Love seeing the great attitude, the humor and the hard work. Keep it up bud!

[@harleyboy6029]

Someone needs to give this kid a Truck Sponsorship! Just saying. Keep up that Hard work! Good seeing you Back! 🍻 🦀

[@MrMattDat]

Great job Luke! Remember, your equipment is not junk, it's Vintage!

[@paultkr8184]

The positive attitude is priceless. Keep up the good work.

[@melodymakermark]

@paultkr8184, and he’s like 27 or 28. I’m almost 64 and have never A) worked that hard or B) reached that level of positivity. Somehow I’ve managed to carve out a decent retirement, anyway.

[@mikep3509]

Been missing you. Glad you’re back. You deserve a big WIN

Thank you!

Cool bot for the win

​@fvsoutherngirl are you going to the Maryland crabcake festival?

[@dagwood1327]

On the trailer brakes: check the safety line that connects to the hitch. They are designed to lock the brakes if it detects the trailer comes off the hitch. Sometimes the detector switch needs to be replaced.

[@frankyensan]

I got labor day crabs and they were spectacular!!!! Thank you for making it happen

[@frankyensan]

Wow i I made the n video

[@Hurst6969]

where is the crab stand?

[@RagingNana]

That's how it always is when you grind to get that paper. You got this!!

[@arthurrichardson5277]

As hard as you work and grind you deserve a big win, and some much needed days off!! Glad your gamble paid off. Love the videos man, keep on keeping on.

[@miguelserna793]

Check the emergency breakaway module. Most trailers come with a emergency module with a small cable that attaches to the bumper near the hitch. If the trailer unhitches itself down the road, it pulls the pin on the module and immediately sets the brakes. If you haven't been attaching that cable, they do still go bad and will engage the breaks. All you need to do is replace the module. Cheap easy fix. Good job finding crabs and a willing audience to buy. Wins always feel good.

[@usafirst79]

Came by on labor day and got 2 doz. Best crabs ever!

[@quarlow1215]

It's probably a surge brake. The controller is part of the tongue on the trailer. When you step on the brakes an actuator in the tongue activates the brakes.

[@myronhigh3527]

Congrats buddy! You DEFINITELY earned it!!!! GOD BLESS ALL!!!!👍🤗🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@lethbridgescott3161]

HEY . I am from Newfoundland and just wanna say you guys are a real inspiration to all hard working fisherman and women.

Man all the hard work will eventually pave your future in the industry! Keep at it and be the man…

Luke, you have to quit stressing so much. Its not good for the heart 💚 Like you said "I just have to let it go" It is what it is! Take care Luke!

[@jeremymullen5378]

🔥you are great fisherman and have a top notch crew man.. really enjoy your videos.. next year plan out a first annual crab 🦀 run, boats register go fish for 3-4hrs, come into port, and you class size or look of the crab and do something like that 🔥👊🔥🏍⚙️🔨

[@matthewbond8874]

Just let it go. Something I could never master. You will live much longer if you can. Just love these videos.😊

[@nitramsonjack4741]

Working hard, pays off in the end. The plus: More projects!!

[@westxranchin]

I can totally understand your statement about driving junk. Nowadays I drive a really nice new or pickup. Yet I’m still always questioning every little sound I hear it make and analyzing it as I drive it. I listen to the point where I trick myself into thinking there’s something wrong.

[@joycef8443]

We always had crappy cars when I was a kid. I am almost 75 and I constantly listen to engines and every little twitch sets me off.

[@Nello353]

Don,t worry about noises, the older you get the less noises you hear, I know because I,m 92 and am lost without hearing-aides.

[@raybankes7668]

Check the tounge of the your trailer. You may have surge brakes wich rely on stopping presser on ball that then applys the hydrolic brakes. The harder you stop the more therailwr brakes are applied

[@elric40]

Luke is just such a hard working young "child sized man" (bhwaaaahaaaahaaa) and funny self-deprecating guy, I am always rooting for him. Every time I see one of these, I remember fishing with Grandpa back in the 60's in Surf City, NC. There was a young couple from Maryland that just showed up as tourists on the super long pier there that is long gone from hurricanes. Folks back then actually just threw blue crabs off the pier because they were considered trash and they would eat your bait, so some guys would stomp on them, then kick them over..... This young couple (from Maryland) just screamed as they couldn't believe what they were seeing, went in and bought every cheap styrofoam cooler at the store there. They were getting about 2 bushels an hour FOR FREE which I guess was worth it. When they filled their van up, they left happy with over $100 of crabs in 1968 dollars and were only 4 hours from home......We hill folk had no use for them back then.......

[@teddyjones8027]

HELLZZ YEAH BROTHER MAKE THAT MONEY, everyone keep yourselves and love ones safe and healthy and remember to SMILE 😊

[@bccradventures84]

Grind it till you make it young man!! Your going places even if it doesn’t feel like it at times!! 😊

[@MarkoMygun]

Luke,your trailers brakes are electric they apply when you hit the brakes. There controlled when you hook up your trailer to the truck through the plug in. You should be able to adjust the brakes on the trailer. But unless you have a trailer brake controller put on the truck you can only adjust them by hand on the trailer. The controller let's you adjust them inside the truck while driving.

[@Mack.of.all.trades]

Your girl is the real deal. That’s the kinda girl that makes the world keep turning

Selling out of crabs is the win!

Young man you and your crew are hard workers. Wife too! You sell a quality product and try to please all your customers. Keep up all the great work you guys do. Stay strong and push on.

[@kevinbrooks1104]

I'm from the north never actually have eaten a soft Schell crab . Ironically I am a chef . But I have to tell you. I respect the work you put in. If you work hard good things happen.

[@securem3]

I trust my old junk over new. Old stuff builds allegiance, new stuff only goes down

[@shaneoakley8757]

New favorite KZbin channel. So, if you have a 7 pin trailer plug most likely there is a brake circuit in there. A controller would be nice so they don’t lock up. You can get them aftermarket if the truck doesn’t have one.

[@russellfredrick6519]

Glad to see you're getting some time off. As for using the window A/C unit for cooling your trailer it can be done with no problems, but you will need to change or clean the filter more often and clean the coils more often.

[@BornAHawkEye]

Why does this kid sound like he has a Pennsylvania and southern accent? Appreciate the hard work

[@MikeHawk42O]

Highly doubtful your truck came with a controller. You're applying full voltage when applying brakes which is why they lock up, u need a controller to be able to control it hahahaha

[@chris_bjj123]

Good to see your hard work pay off. BTW, you don't need a controller if you have electric over hydraulic or surge brakes. The trailer brakes engage when the truck brakes. You can add a controller to adjust.

[@JBC_cat]

What a great idea! I could not find any crabs in my town on Labor day! The whole seafood section was just wiped out at my local market. You must have made lots of people happy! Awesome work!

[@gregjohnson9051]

I hope you make millions.

[@willbraswell4906]

Love your attitude and work ethic! Thinking about your trailer brakes, since you didn't see any braking device inside the cab, maybe your trailer has surge brakes built into the tongue coupler that receives the trailer ball. And someone already mentioned the small cable that comes out of the coupler to set the brakes if the trailer comes loose so make sure that it isn't set. Just trying to help. You probably already figured it out since I'm a month late in watching this video. Peace. Take care.

[@russellswanson208]

I use the same up for my walk in cooler at home for deer

[@spartan1010101]

Picked some up at the stand the week after Labor Day, still great stuff and the corn was insanely good too. I appreciate everything yall do.

[@Hurst6969]

where is the crab stand?

[@brianpierson7708]

Come February you need to make a run down here to south Louisiana and pick up a trailer load of crawfish and take back up there you could real make enough money to cover your spring cleaning, prep, and bait bill !!

[@allenwebster6329]

Yes ive drove a vehicle im not sure whats going ive repaired not alot but a couple of times ,i have 2001 explorer sport trac 4x4 ,it has almost 400 thousand miles on it and runs pretty good, my son and i take our boat to the lake about every weekend to fish my trk is kinda old with many miles but no major repairs and it still goes good so far, i really like your vídeos you are a very down to earth person , Jeep doing what your doing,stay safe and god bless

[@duaneayers6117]

You should put a very small camera on your boat. Have it warn you when you're not on your boat. Keeps the stealing down.

Did u ever figure out your trailer has surge brakes . Duh.. truck has nothing to do with it. Other then activate master cylinder on trailer when you apply the brakes 82 yr old crabber Maryland Dude in North Myrtle Beach SC I really enjoy watching. Reminds Me when I was young

I driven many a shitbox car or truck. When you finally break down and get a decent truck, you will never go back. Toyota should give you a Tundra as a sponsor. Love your vids.

[@cookshok2014]

Great job 👍👍 wonderful work 👍👍👍👍 my dear friend 🙏❤️🌺💐

[@dcs4555]

well i'm sure you figured it out. i'm late as always. so just realize the brakes started working - ck, and the trailer might have a battery fed Ebrake-ck, and your prob seemed to be that they started working. i'd say saltwater intrusion. but yeah, you need to make use of those trailer brakes. not urgent, not emergency. keep them rinsed off even though it doesn't go down into the surf. its probably saltwater - it kills locks erodes everything. i would find electric brakes on that trailer, since it seems that is the issue. the better option is hydraulic. but then reversing while uphill will cause it to compress the cylinder - i know you are smart enough to get that. good luck. you are killing it. at life. and you have a wife. so right there you have beat the hell out of life. good job. love it

[@yoitsmav]

Coolbots are amazing! I'm looking into using an insulated shipping container and 2 window ac units to make a diy walk in deer cooler. Crazy you got one for the trailer glad it's working for ya.
