As a 60 year old, I'm thoroughly impressed with your work ethics and perseverance. 👏 👏 👏

I’m 35 years old I own 2 commercial long liners and salmon trollers not to often you see the younger generation with hard work ethic much respect to this fellow fishermen

[@Big.MikeObama...]

Yes, exactly 💯 He has the same work ethics my dad taught me. I just hope he keeps up the good KZbin content. ✌🏾

No disrespect man but what does being black have to do your reason for being impressed. Why would you say that?

Hi Luke, I am 70 years old. I enjoy your videos and I enjoy your character. Life is 90% attitude. You have a good attitude. You also have two four letter words that follow you called hard work. Most guys your age don't even understand what that is. Keep it up. The dividend will be paid with the ethics and morals that you have. Here's to a successful 2024.

[@alejandronan607]

Luke, I recently joined your community and can only say...thank you and you are kicking ass!

[@American_Diogenes]

I’m looking forward to more “Can It Catch” episodes. I hope you thoroughly enjoy your off season! 🙏

[@jamesblinzler7421]

As a garbage man my crab pots are trash cans, I only put them out once but a pick them up constantly, I captain my trash truck all alone. Watching you crabbing and fixing boats, trucks, equipment and well everything. Is awesome! Keep up the good work, it’s hard but honest work. Be proud and Congratulations. Growing your family is just as hard as work but the payoff is priceless.

[@shadowdog500]

For some reason your post got me thinking about trash collection in Venice Italy. They literally have a garbage boat that pulls up to your house.

[@jamesblinzler7421]

@@shadowdog500 dude that’s awesome. Best of both worlds.

[@carsonstrom6966]

Luke, I really enjoy watching your channel. I’m a 27 year old running my own trucking company as a owner operator and my wife says me and you are a lot a like running around always doing something working on stuff all the time before the sun comes up until after the sun goes down! I do it all on my own also I’m the driver dispatcher mechanic accountant it’s stressful but always worth it! Keep it up!

[@paulcook7888]

Job well done Luke Congratulations on your new adventure ❤

As a fellow business owner, we have to learn how to run our own race. It’s hard to not play the comparison game… We have to find our own normal and pace!

[@brotherbax4083]

Great work, Luke. You made it through the season with all of your fingers and toes, married a lovely woman, and made new friends. Looking forward to seeing what’s next! Thanks for the great content and positive attitude. You’re an amazing young man!

[@Big.MikeObama...]

As a black man, I learned a lot from men like you and white men as well. You guys don't sit around and complain, you guys make shit happen. I wish you the best, and I'm jealous because you're married and am not. But anyway, I do hope you keep up the good KZbin content. ✌🏾

[@KeithCooper-Albuquerque]

I also learn a lot from this channel. Luke is an awesome young man and a great example for anyone who wants to start his or her own business. This is a very positive and inspiring channel. Comments like yours help make this a great community. Peace to you sir!

[@jvatkinson40]

Hello, I am an Old White Guy and I appreciate the way you've described us. I feel that you, too have all the potential for a life filled with excitement, intrigue an love. Your woman is looking for you now. Keep your eyes open for her. Please, let me know when she shows up. Hang in there drive careful and watch out for drinks... Why? They don't lookout for you! Best Wishes...

[@selwynellison8504]

Your work ethic is fantastic. I've been crayfishing here in nz 24 years. I'm running a vessel solo and I feel like you when I take time off. If I'm stuck on shore fir a week or 2 with bad weather I start climbing the walls. Always something to fix or day as a fisherman may be different fisherys but still same problems

[@zendetta4364]

As a mixed guy who sees all walks of life: it aint just a white thing. I know many white folk who will never amount to anything because they think the world owes them something. You are the controller of your own future. Race does not decide. God speed brotha

Hello I’m white and my neighbor is Japanese with a black wife, I’m going to show him this video, I just thought you wanted to know that, good day

[@carolinegoodman4192]

Luke! How on earth could you feel like you have not accomplished ‘enough’ this year! Someone has brainwashed you into thinking that your only value is in how much work you do in a day. You are so much more than that! Burnout is real and can take a long time to recover from. Get some rest, have some fun, enjoy your new married life. You have a drive that few people have but you need to remember to take care of yourself too! I look forward to seeing your next big adventure, whenever that may be.

[@kick_then_shift]

It's just how all of us seasonal business owners feel at the end of the season. We have to save all season and pray there's no unexpected expenses that pop up until the season starts again. We just feel like maybe I should work until the weather stops me. But you gotta know when to fold em. He's making the right call.

[@johnatyoutube]

You rock, Luke! I don't know how you do everything you do. Take a break and a breath. It's so important to pace ourselves. The crabs and breaking equipment will always be there. Enjoying being with yourself and your wonderful new wife. And don't feel bad about resting. We all need to recharge. One day, I hope to shake your hand. I was at Rumor Reel last night and thought of you. You've become lore in the Dena. You have become an important voice for Chesapeake watermen. I told my friends all about you. We were out on our boat yesterday as well. It was a beautiful day to have a last day in the boat out on the Bay. When we got to Rumor Reel in the evening, we had a toast in your honor. May 2024 be an even bigger year for you work, your channel, and the fun awareness you bring to our beloved Bay life. And may all your dreams come true!

[@teddyjones8027]

[@paullalone4718]

Your scaffolding idea is a great idea but what we do in Alaska sometimes is it's kind of like your scaffolding but if you put heavy either Lane x or heavy plastic it's the same kind people use on like dog sleds or stuff like that and you make sure you countersink the screws but if you put those pieces of plastic on there they'll slide much better and it's less wear and tear on the pots

[@CSE_Sports_Camp]

Congrats on 9 years excitied to watch 10. Must be nice being able to end a little early this year. The striped bass season doesnt end till decemeber 10th so il sure well see you out crabbing again next year. Maybe we can race the boats?

Old guy here who operated a couple of my own startups and I can tell you the most difficult part is getting to a volume of customers on your own so you can then expand with equipment upgrades and regular full time employees. Sometimes partnerships with someone you can trust and is in the same position as you can effectively get you and them over the hump and allow both parties to grow at a higher pace together than they would otherwise apart

I’m In the same stage now as a welding business owner. I’m 27 & now am 4 years in the business by myself. I am now at a transitioning stage where I need to step back and hire a couple guys. You can only do everything for so long solo and I’ve basically reached that threshold! It’s hard to transition but will be a must!

[@momof2641]

Dude I’m really impressed by your work ethic, it’s becoming hard to find in today’s society. My prayers go out to you and I’d love to see you engulfed by crabs in 2024. I want to see the video of your baskets being load with jumbo male crabs and stacked 3 high on the roof. Just never know, I’ll never forget my dad’s biggest year and having to haul crabs to 3 different places all in opposite directions because he had flooded Delaware’s market. He had bushel baskets stacked 4 high on the truck, 3 high on the trailer and I’d have to meet him at the dock to pick up the gear and gas cans because they had absolutely no room for anything else. We got amazing pictures that year of his loads, had them all printed, framed and hung on what we named the “haul of fame”. We got central air that year and we didn’t eat crabs everyday they were replaced with steak. Keep setting goals and chasing them down!
