Life as a Bering Sea Fisherman! *DEADLIEST CATCH*

Welcome back to another video! Here we are fishing for Pollock out of Dutch Harbor Alaska, in the Bering Sea. What I do is similar to Deadliest Catch, same boats and we fish in the same waters. I just fish for pollock on a trawler. Make sure to leave a comment and subscribe. Let me know your thoughts on this video and what else you guys would like to see.

Looks great. More commenting about what you’re doing while working. Either by voice over or while you’re doing it. What each line does and how it’s connected. What the fish are and how many estimated caught. How do pick up the fish the spill over. Etc. all the explanations would be helpful. And how cold it is out. How cold the water is. Time stamps etc. how long you’ve been hauling each segment. Thanks for sharing. You’re very relatable and easy to follow.

[@jakobolavjensen]

Great feedback thank you!

[@carlaquintana-dv6qt]

Is it the same crew every season? Who owns the boat? Are you all from Seattle or does the crew come from everywhere? Is it always Pollock you fish for? Have you had any accidents, near missies or awful storms?

[@maxl3189]

​@@carlaquintana-dv6qtall of the above

[@GCHatSCHOOL]

100% making me miss Kodiak and trawling. Pollock is such a good fishery too, and pretty much focused on production and quality. Thanks for sharing, and mind those hammerlocks!

[@jakobolavjensen]

Appreciate you watching!

[@Hydrakiller666]

Definitely like the head cam pov. Thanks for the content homie looking forward to more fishing vlogs. Also W hat

[@jakobolavjensen]

Appreciate it!!

[@ShujaaKing]

Dope video man, teach us what you can about the job. I think people get inspired by watching you and would like to try and gain knowledge of the job and like how/why things are done.

[@kayladawley5007]

I love the Northwestern that is my favorite boat on Deadliest Catch Thank You so much for showing it in your video. I really enjoy your fishing videos keep up the great work your doing an amazing job! 🦀

So cool to see all this. Would love to get one of these vids next time you are in some rough weather

[@juffreyd.gregorio881]

Love these videos man! Came from IG!!

[@corneliusagbodjan8436]

Great video Jay.

[@BenjaminBerry-dr4qu]

It’s interesting because when I watched deadlest catch on TV there seemed to be a lot of yelling and screaming and fighting on these boats. You guys seem chill compared to that show. How many bags can you bull in each trip?

[@levimcfadden1516]

Is it easier to get on one of your boats or a crab boat

[@honoluluhelpers]

Vacation in Hawaii #Grateful 🙏 love you guys, thank you, #mahalo

[@bruceboysoutdoors6007]

Boom!!

[@herbsdayout3585]

How big is ya trawl?

[@zandermcmullan8894]

What do you think of the thyboron doors with regards to stability etc. and are you towing mid water or in the bottom with them? Thanks

[@willperkins6562]

What do you do with the fish that fall over the side when the fish nets open

[@Mason_Strodtman]

Are just an employee or do you own the boat or are you partnered with someone? Would also love to see a breakdown of the pay

[@DeclanLagueux]

[@jakobolavjensen]

Appreciate it!

[@1987chobis]

I came from TikTok

[@jakobolavjensen]

Appreciate you!

[@thomaswick4260]

How old are you and where do you live when you’re not fishing. How much can you make in a season? Looks like a shit ton of fish

[@jakobolavjensen]

I’m 24, started when I was 16 though. I live in Seattle! Pay varies alot depending on a bunch of variables

[@RóiV.D]

Where can I apply? Got the experience & wanna try smth different

[@maxl3189]

Go to the fisherman coop where they unload or wharfs with boats Ask for a tucker trip and apply yourself

[@ConnorWalton-mv1bc]

Thanks for the tour bro.. cool seeing a few of the deadliest catch ships in harbour too!

[@jakobolavjensen]

Of course man thanks for watching. One of these days I can go down and walk those docks and film the boats closer!

[@MsMrNoItAll]

Thanks for catching my fish fillet sandwich! Appreciate you!

[@jakobolavjensen]

Hahah no problem happy to do it

[@7.3loki]

Camera on the head better also be nice get a video of the camera system with all of you guys working

[@2006altimaser]

Just found this channel today! And this is the last one. Watched every video already. Good stuff!

[@sigridjensen4870]

Another great video! Awesome job. I like the footage from this perspective! An you look good in a blue hat… well in any color but I’m biased🤣❤️

[@jakobolavjensen]

Hahah thank you mom

[@CassieMcCasky2013]

More fishing content. Please 😊

[@Mudsayy]

Let’s gooo

[@DonnieLopez_]

1. Do you guys have local friends there since you’re there so long? 2. Is there place to party or go out at night when you’re in port? 3. Anyone ever go overboard?

[@jase4270]

Its nothing like the deadliest catch. Crab fishing is way more dangerous.

[@2006altimaser]

I'm sure its a simple answer? But would rather just ask. But how do big fish not get caught? And how are the nets full of all the same exact fish?

[@frankjones774]

Oh man so sad we have the equipment to clean the oceans out and so we do it with 7 going on 10 billion people on the planet and the wild fish stocks at a fraction of where they were 50 years ago so I am sure that you can see where this goes and it is not good or sustainable we really need to think about the future and our children ....

[@StevenSelden-o1o]

Describe type of trawl and doors, parts of the trawl, splitting straps etc..very nice and real presentation

[@Adventuremac499]

Came to support from insta, great video man, keep up the good work!

[@jaybig360]

Your job is dangerous brother. Can I come ? 😊

[@desmondhughes9369]

that looked like all juvenile fish

[@SriKavuru]

I came from tiktok too. This was really cool! I like your content a lot, I’d love to see a video about what workouts you do that help you with your job. All the pushing/ pulling etc. your job is obviously super physical.

[@jakobolavjensen]

Awesome thank you! Appreciate the feedback / ideas

[@harrisonholt8242]

What kinda truck you got?

[@marknobes9412]

I want to catch some fish and I don't get sea sick

[@danespersen]

Do you get to meet any of the Deadliest Catch guys?

[@EmotionalScenes]

love to see more videos on being a fisherman! way more intersting than the cars! Love those sea videos !

[@maxl3189]

The sea is great

[@kitties8883]

How often do you get those brows done bud?

[@CoreyCanady-w7q]

I work for UniSea

[@hansnolte8835]

[@josephfitzgeraldnsw5794]

[@sweetybell999]

[@umarpanwala8575]

I really like your job and your content. Can you upload weekly so we can see more.

[@chichosoria5563]

[@jakobolavjensen]

Sounds good!!

[@PsunnProductions]

Have you ever fallen overboard?

[@jakobolavjensen]

No I haven’t thankfully

[@TheBackyardFarmingFamily]

Hey Jake we just subscribed, saw your content on instagram 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@goldhound6105]

This s better than deadliest catch because it is real. It shows how mundane it really is. I've fished for 25 years and this is legit.

[@jgwhite1408]

Literally never seen that many fish 😂 damn never interested me what fishermen do but you make it entertaining I quite enjoy the content thanks for sharing

[@lukewinsper6026]

Watsup man. If you don’t mind me asking, how do you get a job like this. Love the content

[@qdoggy99]

I wanna work with you guys after watching this. Great video!

[@markfreeman2022]

Do you usually gain or lose weight on the ship? How much do you weigh now?

[@samuelmcmullan3836]

From TikTok.. awesome content 👌

[@fdr1516]

Hey Jakob, how do you get into this line of work?

[@johnbush5159]

Meals and bunk room

[@VegetableWarriors]

Yo, this looks dangerous and exhausting but so much fun, I love fishing and just now started watching your vids, I think they are really cool.

[@jakobolavjensen]

Thank you bro!

[@lucaslovesclouds]

How often do you eat fish

[@onewaygfmc1869]

Keep on grinding

[@velazquezandalusians9971]

Kool video bro

[@igh-n5z]

awesome videos man👌🏼👌🏼for a teenager planing to be a fisherman on trawler i must say this content is so fun to watch because i get too see more indepth of what you do while fishing and not and would really like to see more🤩

[@adincasarotti2701]

You a straight bum if you wanna work a trawler🤡

[@ZacMclaughlin]

Definitely, weird shit that shows up in the nets. How do you target pollock and not end up with tons of random things that wind up in the hull?

[@jakobolavjensen]

Different species will look different in the downsounders and theres just years of fishing out here so we have a pretty good idea of where to go

[@om9482]

How did you get a car where you work assuming this is seasonal and you live in the lower 48?

[@jakobolavjensen]

You’re correct! Our company bought the truck for our crew

[@robinmarquez4952]

Explain how you get paid, like is it per load, or salary, etc. either than that cheers bro

[@jakobolavjensen]

It’s based off total catch, I can explain in more detail next video!

[@callmerigo443]

What’s the work schedule like? How often do u go out there

[@maxl3189]

As often as possible and board trawling you will get probably 39 minutes before next shot if you don't have to steam and you do this for atleat 18 hours of the day Smaller boats do anyway, these guys can fill up very quick

[@toddbucsok9347]

What kind of fish are they and what are they used for?

[@jakobolavjensen]

Pollock! They are used for a ton of stuff

[@thomassmith2215]

Here from TikTok! Love your content!

[@jakobolavjensen]

Awesome! Thank you

[@BryonLawless]

I came from tiktok
