Great video, I was a commercial fisherman for 15 years in Nova Scotia Canada, fish dragging on browns bank and George's banks, also Heron saning, silver hack, shrimp and lobster fishing. We fished out of West pubnico Nova Scotia. I really love seeing different fishers, and how they do it.

At age 13 was doing a full share job as a deckhand on my uncle’s western rig trawler in Cape Cod bay. Tough work at any age.

I was a fisherman from 1981 to 1992. I wish I hadn't done that but focused on something more land based. Port, Brixham, south Devon, UK.

I just scored a deckhand job on the Misty Blue. A little more cramped than I would have imagined! I put my name in the hat on a facebook forum and I luckily was the first one to actually come out and show up when I said I was going to. Excited, but nervous. Headed to Kodiak Alaska around the 26th. Peter Pan cannery job. 15k for 60 days plus depending on how well we do we'll get an incentive. Our boat is not anywhere as modern as yours! We have the same washer dryer setup though! Cheers!

[@atsra659]

Bro, im so jealous of you. I would love to get on one of these catcher boats, but im not lucky enough to know anyone to get on haha. Im stuck working on a factory trawler, also just got off a long liner for cod. One just like the beauty bay that the boat is docked behind in this video. 7 seasons in a row so far, 8th season coming up this A season. I got a spot on the best factory trawler though that pays really welll and has the best workers. I would still rather be on your boat though. Stay safe this A season bro.

[@kingklipo]

Hello. I am interested in this field and moving from alberta to new brunswick to start this kinda work. Do you have any advice on how I can get started in the industry?

Lol you’re just the total opposite of the picture I had in my head of “Alaskan fisherman” You don’t smoke.. or do anything bad for your health, you actually care about your health, and you could take or leave fishing you just like the money you’re not all addicted to it. Love it for ya man

[@always_markb]

what's wrong w processing? Is it just super nasty?

[@Halfstep2024]

@@always_markb I haven’t done it but imagine multiple conveyors of nasty ass fish running every direction with blood and guts and heads everywhere you turn, 12-24 hour shifts 7 days a week unless you’re steaming back or something is broken down, the majority of your coworkers are from Russia or Japan or China for whatever reason so you can’t communicate with most of them, you can literally die at any moment in one of the worst ways imaginable aside from fire but fires also a risk.. 😂 yea.. those boys earn their share on factory boats.

[@Halfstep2024]

Or if you’re really unlucky you get to work in the freezer area which is like -30 degrees and you stack tens of thousands of boxes of fish all day every day. But they feed them fuckin amazing 😂 so that’s a plus.

Hey i was wondering how can i get a job on such a boat and what do i need to do to get one? My name is Max i am from germany 22 years old and I worked as a ship mechanic and wanted to try something new. And is it your boat or do you work for someone

[@slaytronic]

as someone who fished in every kind of boat you can up there you should move to a H&G boat they make way more cash then just scooping up fishing and selling it super cheap to a factory to process don't waste your youth on crap money with you already being a deck hand you can move to any other boat into a nice highly paid position no waiting around for raises up to deck

[@Halfstep2024]

He’s not a deck hand he’s the mate.. and his dad’s the captain. I’m fairly certain he’s making all he wants to make and then some.

[@Halfstep2024]

Also who in their right mind would go from a gig paying metric fuck loads of money already, not really having to do THAT much physical labor (in comparison), with his own room and shit where he’s second in command to a job where he’s one of like 100 other dudes all trying to become one of the top 10 dudes and 110% do manual labor 16-20 hours a day. Not trying to speak for him but holy shit man I’m not even remotely a fisherman and even I can see that’s a shit move.

[@slaytronic]

@@Halfstep2024 100? what kind of boat are you talking my boat only had 25 people on it they should prob consider upgrading to a h and g boat then they would make way more cash you make cents on the dollar delivering whole fish

[@coreytate7539]

Hey bro I’m 21 years old wondering how I could get in an entry level job as a deckhand. How could I contact you for some tips if that’s possible, love the content been a subscriber for a while now. Thanks bro

[@benosick8542]

Realistically you'd have to get a job as a processor on a catcher/processor (which fucking sucks, 16 hour shifts, down below decks all day) and if you do really well at that talk to the forman and the deck boss and maybe they'll try you out as a deckhand (youll probably still have to process but at least you get to go outside) Then after you know what you're doing there and have made some freinds in the industry you might be able to get a job on a catcher boat like this. These smaller boats don't really post job openings, you kind of just have to know someone and wait for the opportunity.

[@funkymonkey5248]

​@@benosick8542 lol 16 hours more like 20 hours lol its hell

[@Anna8765]

Baybaybestie here, how do you and your coworkers maintain healthy relationships? Do your spouses come to see you guys when you’re gone for 6 months? It must be tough

[@jakobolavjensen]

Good questions! It’s not easy to maintain relationships we definitely all get frustrated with each other at certain points. We all get along pretty good though. We are there together and have the goal of getting the season over with so staying positive really helps and makes a big difference. As far as our relationships with our spouses we just have to text and call as much as we can. Being away from relationships at home is definitely the hardest part about the job. It’s two seasons though so we are gone 3 months at a time so it is a long time but atleast we don’t have to go the entire 6 months in a stretch.

What about the observers? Do they sleep with y’all?

[@benosick8542]

A lot of the pollock catcher boats like this don't actually have observers anymore. They have cameras that monitor for all the regulatory stuff and we do our data collection at the processing plants instead now. It looks like that's the settup they have here. Everyone I've talked to prefers it this way, when I observed on small boats like this I was just underfoot all the time and it's easier to collect data during the offload anyways.
