Three Hours of Living & Working on a Tugboat!! -Compilation Video-

[@ianmankersen]

I’m a Captain and my name is Ian. My son and I are both fans of the channel. We are both avid saltwater fishermen. I push jet fuel barges between Louisiana and the Florida panhandle. If I don’t make it through this whole video you’ll understand because it’s like being more at work while I’m at work watching. Love the content brother.

[@TugTrashOutdoors]

I appreciate it Cap! You be safe out there and I hope you aren’t in this storms path!

I am impressed, never thought of what it takes to be on a tug boat and work, eat and enjoy. Thank you for sharing

[@TugTrashOutdoors]

Thanks for watching!

[@MarkFitzhugh-w5r]

i worked for 34 years with Tidewater Barge Lines which runs tugs on the Columbia and Snake rivers. Pusher tugs hauling fuel, grain and other commodities. Rode the tugs a few times but my main job was as a tankerman pumping fuels off the barges, Brought back a lot of memories. I love Florida and would have enjoyed working on your tug. Keep the videos coming!

[@TugTrashOutdoors]

Thanks! Great memories!

[@vh04863]

i love watching transport videos like this

[@scottross501]

I just started watching your videos. Actually this is the second one I've seen. Entertaining the people isn't always easy. You and your wife are doing a great job. Hope you enjoy your time in my home state of Michigan.

[@TugTrashOutdoors]

Appreciate the kind words!

[@knowhim3624]

You and your Wife really are a 'HOOT'... - Driving the 'boat is a no brainer for YOU!!! Hello, especially with your experience...Thanks so very much for sharing the REAL stuff with your followers - 'Down-Home' is always going to pull us IN and show us what so many of us have done for 'decades'...HUGS and TYVM for sharing...

Love your show, especially when you are on the Tug, I spent over 16 years in the Army and love to see your fishing and hunting and Tug, especially with your family, btw originally from Michigan, keep it real!!

[@sandcrabronco]

OMG! I have visited many of those locations on Gitmo, dove off of those rocks, got drunk and tried to sleep on the beach, shore patrol took us back to the ship. Brought back so many memories! This was all back in the 70's. The night time storm scene was just awesome. I would fish the Indian River on my bike and crashed one night when my stringer of whiting and trout got tangled in my front wheel and forks... Loved, loved, loved this video! Enjoying being retired but miss the good old days!

[@TugTrashOutdoors]

Cool!

[@theathjr]

Ian it was fun to rewatch all of these Tugboat videos all in one movie. Great job and thanks for sharing👊

[@TugTrashOutdoors]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@jeffaddison6332]

Hi, back when I was working on tugs, we made a triple barge tow to Gitmo with everything that was needed for that McDonald’s. Glad it’s still there. The Tug Bayou Bull, Misener Marine Consruction.

[@stayontarget47]

Thank you for that. Smallest things we had to remind us of home was the best. That McDonald's was always sold-out of nuggets

[@TugTrashOutdoors]

Cool!

[@stevesproul3744]

I always use a little corn starch before the egg wash it seems to make them a little crispier in the end. I absolutely loved this video seeing the life on the Tugboat.

[@TugTrashOutdoors]

Great tip!

[@stanleyshelby7460]

Glad I was able to contribute some knowledge to your first time explaining the process to sail aboard an Oceangoing tug and documenting your sea time for upgrading your certificates. Nice job this time around. Aloha.

[@kenneth-ml5gb]

Wow, that’s so long of a drive! Admire your dedication to getting it done!

[@sheliamclane2528]

I really enjoy your videoing. Tug boat and fishing. I hope crystal doesn’t get scared watching the storms. I really enjoy both of you

[@sheliamclane2528]

I use cracker meal to fry my fish.

[@TugTrashOutdoors]

Thanks! Appreciate you watching

[@Julianne955]

Love the Tug videos, this one, all together was fun to watch. I think all the people involved are amazing, not an easy job whether on the tug or the one holding down the home front. Have a wonderful week out there, wherever your travels take you!

[@TugTrashOutdoors]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@sandrasnoddy1334]

I grew up in San Diego so my dad n I would go out ocean fishing half day such good memories I was only like 10 years old. Love your show n family ❤

[@TugTrashOutdoors]

That sounds like a great childhood, I'm glad you're enjoying our show!

[@jashenfelter]

The life of being under way. Best part of it is the scenery. I loved it. When I was in the navy I would get a cup of coffee and go sit on the bow and just enjoy the view! Love these videos. Love the fact you have your daughter and her friends in your fishing and crabbing videos! Keep up the amazing work sir

[@MarcSteiny]

Yo Tug, that was my first video .... I have been curious about tugboats since I was a little boy. This video was such an eye-opener! Thank you for sharing. Can't wait to start binge-watching all of these! You and the Crystal are so excellent.

[@TugTrashOutdoors]

Thanks, I’m glad you enjoyed it!

[@davidmcduffie1398]

Thank you for the Tug Boat video, you explained a lot more in this one than in the passed ! ! !

[@TugTrashOutdoors]

Glad it was helpful!

[@strayedcat1966]

My favorite breading is Kellogg's Corn Crumbs especially for snook. In a pinch when we had nothing for breading, we used potato chips all smashed up... It was delish! Love me some blackened Mahi!

[@TugTrashOutdoors]

Thanks! I might have to try that sometime.

[@ogre7219]

When u showed the tarpon in Gitmo-I had a rush of memories from the late sixties as a 17 year old seaman fighting those monsters off the stern of our destroyer. We were down there for shakedown and sea trials after FRAM2 conversion....some of the most enjoyable times of my existence on this old rock....

[@TugTrashOutdoors]

What an awesome memory!

[@robhull7056]

Woohooo....time to tug some stuff.... throw out some lines and catch some dinner!

[@karinbrantner3081]

Snook is my favorite fish! I even have a glass carving of one made by a friend on my coffee table....the best to catch and eat!

[@TugTrashOutdoors]

The best!

[@carolburgess6377]

I love your show! When I was a kid my grampa would pinch our toes awake before the sun came up and we’d pile into the pickup to go fishing all the near by creeks and ponds. We learned early how to clean whatever we caught . Breading of flour , salt and pepper. To this day I love fish. The only thing I do a bit different for the grandkids is to soak the fish in milk to take away the fish taste.

[@randallmoser5386]

This video was absolutely amazing. Me working on a tug we would have fresh fish on my watch. Can’t wait until the next adventure

[@raymondbradley6788]

[@dennisalbasi3689]

Tug. Glad to see you on your own channel. I remember seeing you while fishing other people out of Jupiter. Now that I found your video's I plan on watching more of your video's. The first time the wife ad I had our Mahi was blackened and in Taco's. The wife was never a big Taco person to begin with. She could never understand fish with cheese. But once I made the Taco's, she loved not only the Mahi but the Taco's. The only reason some folks use flour before the breading is to dry the fish and make the egg wash hold better to the fish. But I'm with you, it changes the taste of the fish. I also use Ghee insrtead of any other kind of oil. Not only for the health reasons, but the taste. Ghee is sometimes called clarified butter(bit not the same) The Ghee has a higher smoke point, about 480 degrees. Got to love Florida! The wife and I live on the west side just off of Indian Rocks Beach. We just got through Helene and Milton. We are good, no damage. We were able to help those in need and the beach is still being cleaned up. Take care and stay well!

[@TugTrashOutdoors]

Glad you found my channel and that you're enjoying the videos!

Nice Tug Marathon. Like a good book, it was hard to put down. Took me two days to watch the whole thing, but it was very worth it. Thank you for a glimpse inside. Loved it! Always looking forward to your videos. You need some "aji cachucha" peppers for your beans. Next time you're in S. Fla let me know and I'll get you a plant. Not spicy but very flavorful. As a matter of fact, you can probably get the real Cuban ones in Guantanamo. Be mindful to get the ones with the strong smell, almost spicy Aji Cachucha

[@TugTrashOutdoors]

Thank you!
