Purse Seining + Rolling fish

[@e30325ikiller]

u know the legend of the fisherman who sunk his boat cause he couldnt get his stomach full enough

[@mofekka]

well.. ok.. but when you roll a bag of humpies 10-20 times a day all summer.. and load your boat many times every summer for years.. you kinda know exactly what the hydraulics can do and what the boat can pack. So the legend isn't really applicable here.

[@mofekka]

Yeah, last I fished was 95. Chatam Straights black cod opener was a blast. 24 hour derby and we loaded the boat. Fishing just isn't stable enough, no bennies, not guaranteed. I miss the scenery(Alaska) alot.

[@mofekka]

yeah, probly close to 2500 3k. I did Chatham Straight black cod opener once. That counts as Southest. But funny you say "BIG" boys in SE. Its all limited to 58 feet anyway. Limit seiners in PWS too. And my fishing days are loooong over with. I miss it at times.

LuvsChopin, read the title of this clip "....Alaska..." not the NW or CA. Overfishing has decimated several fisheries in the past, notably the Atlantic cod fishery & sardines in CA. However in the west more damage was cause by building damns than anything else. Alaska's salmon fisheries are the last bastion of renewable resources from the sea. Well managed and well executed. Its a lifestyle that takes great skill and is not a sport whatsoever! Shall we all move to NYC and drink lattes, POOFTER?

@@davidnelson5891 yeah hatcheries we’re a good idea but in practice it turns out to be not so good. You forgot to mention decreased genetic diversity.

[@YoMamasCasa]

Miss the sound of those hydros!

[@svhotelcalifornia7146]

looks like the old carmelina before the pilot house, and sinking of course.. aka "my lady"

[@mofekka]

Yeah, I know Jim. BS'd with him quite a few times back when I used to fish. I didn't know he owned the Chalishan. That used to be Jack Lamb's boat, named after his children, Chad, Alisa, Shane. I read somewhere that Jim got busted. Too bad for him.

[@mofekka]

Why? Because harvesting natural resources for human consumption is bad? Would you rather the boat sink, spilling diesel and oil into the environment? The salmon fishery is highly regulated by ADF&G allowing for proper escapement to ensure enough salmon get up stream to spawn and keep the run going year after year. Your comment is indicative of someone who doesn't think before they type.

1. commercial salmon seining is not "destruction" of any kind, particularly the oceans. IGNORANT!! 2. commercial fishing is not greed. It is a way of making a life. Yes, there are types of fishing that not good. Bottom/factory trawling, high seas drift netting are a couple. Salmon seining an efficient means to catch salmon for human consumption, perfectly safe for the environment and the ocean. You're barking up the wrong tree here. Go away. All future comments from you will be removed.

You have no idea what you're talking about and its clearly obvious. Stay landlocked and lubberized and stay out of things which you know NOTHING about. Go spend a summer on a seine boat. Get into the captian's head about how the fish are running, where, why, time of day, wind direction, change of tide, eddys, rocks etc. Go work 20 hours a day 5 days week and then follow it up with a couple 10 hour days on the weekend for 2 months and tell me about lazy. You are clearly VERY ignorant.
