Nice to see Family working together without all that garbage drama you see on those shows, like deadliest catch ,, sick of the sensless junk
Keep up the awsome show you guys.
Love how Mat just bulldogs those big octopuses. Most dudes would pee their pants.
Why?
It's a pleasure to see hard working families work together and good at what they do enjoy watching
I love fishing and love watching others catching fish!!
Same here!
So much more responsible than net fishing
I fished the Sound about 10years age, best halibut fishing I have ever seen.
God bless you guys.Stay warm an dry .be safe.
Hi from Australia, man l just love your videos, l have worked on a few lobster and deep sea trawler boats but watching fishing in Alaska is so cool, goodluck fishing.👍
I love seeing the amazing fishing. Love from Jeddah Saudi 2
Hello, my friend, a fisherman. Thanks for explaining how to fish. I made you catch a lot🎣🎣🎣
The sacrificed work of fishing !! Good luck and to take care of the sea and the resources it gives us !! Greetings to the crew from Chile!!
Thanks Pablo. Best wishes from all of us. Take care.
Lol.

Nice huge Halibut. I can my whole neighborhood with that fish..I 💘 Halibut. Last time I bought from the boat local fisherman from Washington. My wife and family went camping and I brought and barbecue the fish..everyone love it.
That's awesome, it's great eating! And definitely nothing better than fresh fish off the boat.
Normally I appreciate sails more than engines, but I do enjoy the sound of that John Deere!
Same here, she purrs!
Love Your Fishing Show & The Fishing Trips!
You Are All Always Great To See And That You Are All Abiding By Your Fishing Zone Laws! And Your Cach Sizes! Great Work!

Thanks Alfred👍. We appreciate your support!
Responsible fishing. Nice catch!
What an awesome family dynamic
Thank you, Tony!
That was cool pulling up that octopus! Make a nice meal 😄
Ok yes from Jeddah Saudi Arabia
I worked the last halibut derby back in the 90's out of Homer, this is a lot more relaxed than the 1000 boat gold rush of those days. Out of dutch harbour we deck loaded and caught 1 400lb Halibut 3 of us 3 gaffs and one fish refusing to come aboard. Eventually we used the rock of the boat to get it aboard. I believe we were off Kodiak.
Great work guys excellent footage!! Stay safe out there!!
Thank you Eric! Will do!
Thanks for showing in slow motion the hook removal
Wow, back again after 2 years for a re-viewing. It's a pleasure to watch all of you getting the job done, good days or stinkers. I've watched enough of your videos that I have some idea how hard you work, and what a wide range of talents you have besides fishing. Developing the skills, and the specialized tools to fabricate your own gear, fitted up as you want it and with the huge plus of knowing your finished fabrications are safe, effective and reliable! The special tools come slowly, a piece at a time (& when you can justify the expense), but they sure do pay off when things just _work!_
The way you have your deck layout organized, and the way you all work together is great to watch. I know it is hard physical work, and you have some very long days during the summer (as we do), but it seems as if you work at a pace that doesn't leave you constantly absolutely exhausted, more vulnerable to accidents, mistakes, or slow responses. Seems like you enjoy life more, and will live longer. Thank you for posting these, and keeping us updated on the Emerald Isle. You've made a lot of progress since you brought her home.
I keep waiting for Matt to dream up a machine where he pushes in a pollock or herring at one end, and 3 or 4 chunks fall out the other end, of the tube, sized "just right" for baiting halibut hooks. You "acquired' the big bait grinder for crab season, but in my mind's eye I see another "torpedo tube" device where the semi-frozen fish gets cut into chunks, while fingers do not. Probably some commercial large-scale equipment supplier makes a machine that does this, but I'd love to see what the Matt and Dad team would brainstorm. Something quick to hook up, easy to use, stows neatly, but that stops instantly if necessary. I'm sure you have many projects already lined up, so I won't hold my breath in the meantime, lol! Best regards and many thanks from land-locked northern Alberta!
Oh
O mai ca
My goodness I haven't seen the number to wash tub in years but y'all keep up the good work anyways have a great day
May god bless your family. Be glad your not down here in the states with all this crazy COVID stuff. You all are working hard with family in the most beautiful surroundings. Love the channel!
Blessings to you and your family Patty. Things are a mess down there and we hope things get better. Thank you for the kind words and support. Best wishes from us and be safe.
Great to see the family fishing together. 🐟🐟🐟
Thanks Tuna, we have a good time.
This is only my second video watching you guys but you guys seem like you are some nice people
Thanks for joining us Ivy.
Love the excitement of every fish coming up to the boat 👍😎
Fascinating. It's good that your following the rules.
Love to see you guys … good luck.
These guys weren't fishing, they were catching!
Excellent video! It's great to see how the fish we buy is caught. I once was able to book a Halibut charter trip. It was a fantastic & fun time!
Glad you enjoyed it! We're glad to show the process behind it all. It always feels so great to get out on the water!
Nice watching you guys fish. I learn a lot about what you are doing. Thanks for the ride..”
Beautiful presentation Loved it Thanks for sharing
Thank you! Cheers!
Thanks for another very interesting video. Sitting in Northern Norway (Europe), I can see quite a few differences from the halibut fisheries we are doing here. The halibut looks the same, but ours (Atlantic Halibut) seems to be bigger in average. The minimum size here is 47 inches, and I guess the average size is more like in the range 50-55 inches. It is not unusual to get like 93 inches (approximately 100 kg / 220 lbs) halibuts, whereas the Norwegian record is 314 kg/ 692 lbs. Another difference is the vessels design (approximately the same vessel size or less) and the way we are setting and hauling the line. Always setting with the sea current and hauling against the sea current. Setting out the line at the rear of the boat, and hauling it on the starboard side, with the bow against the sea current. Normally, the branch lines are attached to the main line withe knots. It seems like we have more rough weather conditions than you, but the mountains are very similar. Keep up your good work!
Thanks Svein. Your fish are definitely larger there, our minimum size is 32". We get larger fish when we are shallow up in the rock piles, but 35-40 pound average would be big for a trip. Also the Bering Sea tends to have larger fish and 450 pound fish are not uncommon. Most vessels here do haul gear amidship on the starboard side. Stern hauling just works good for us, and we pull with the current when possible. It is very easy hauling like that often with little or no throttle and steering input for the set. We also set with the current or at an angle. Many of the larger vessels say over 50' use conventional gear in tubs or skate bottoms, where the gangion is tied to the mainline. We like snap-on gear because it baits fast, and no gearwork when you are done hauling. Also it keeps our deck nice and tidy. Both gear types work good though and convention gear is faster to set and haul than snap-on gear. And the weather...well we are pretty fair weather fishermen these days. We do get into some nasty stuff occasionally, but we try to avoid it. The area we are fishing has open water clear to the Washington coast and during a good storm will see seas build to 30 feet or more. I really enjoy reading your comments and would like to see your fishery. I love the lines the vessels up there, and you guys really work some rough water. Good fishing to you and be safe!
@@EISAlaska Hi again, guys
Another quite big difference between our coastal fisheries and yours is the variety of fishing species and the associated gears you are using. I have seen you fishing with lines for halibut, jigging for rockfish, using pots for crab and purse seine for salmon.
In Northern Norway the fishing fleet 35 feet and less get the majority of the yearly income from one single specie - the North East Atlantic Cod - also called “Skrei”. The season for it is January to April every year. The gears used are gillnet, longline, jigging machines and scottish seine.
Most vessels are specialized on one specific gear, but some combine gears, for example gillnet and jigging machines, lines and jigging machines, jigging machines and pots.
This year, the cod quota for a 35 feet boat is 39.4 metric tons (78000 lbs) round weight, which is 26.3 tons head off and gutted. Due to real bad weather in january, february and partly march this year, the fishing was difficult, but the prices went all time high. Approximately 3 USD per kilo (2 lbs) head off and gutted.
In addition there are big quotas for haddock and saithe (atlantic pollock). The price in the market for these species s approximately ½ to ⅓ of the cod.
Other important species are tusk, atlantic halibut, greenland halibut and King Crab (only in the north eastern region). In addition there are mackerel and herring, but the small coastal vessels normally do not utilize the pelagic species.
Summa summarum: You combine more gears and fish on more species than we do.
Cool guys
Really nice set..another great video !!
Great haul love it!
Awesome to watch your you guys do it up your way. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it
i love halibut its the, best eating ocean fish!
Good for sure. But if you love halibut you should try lingcod
Greetings from Indonesia
What a haul! Proper job.
Nice guys, great day, you killed them
Yes, this was a good day of fishing!
@@EISAlaska I just discovered your channel and have watched almost all your content, fantastic, we are big fans in Massachusetts, keep up the great work
Really appreciate that Paul! Glad you are enjoying the content.
Nicely done!
I appreciate you guys not whacking them w clubs. So many others do, I'd rather rewatch yours than theirs ... Thanks!!
Whacking with clubs is counter productive, though the ending of a life is still the result, you won't miss and bruise up the flesh and you see when they cut through at the gills initially? That bleeds the fish so not only do you get nice white fillets, but blood starts to go bad very quickly so best remove it. If you kill them before you cut them, they don't bleed because their heart stops.We have a responsibility to treat all of our food animals with respect so there is no wastage. Good observation
They're not conscience, they have zero clue about pain or they're being caught for food. If the animals we eat had a consciousness, we would never catch them. We would never be able to hunt an animal or fish.. 😂
Wonder if some of that Halibut hits my favorite Fish and Chip place here in Eugene,Or. Newman's Fish Company. If you haven't tried it, head over there. Been around since 1890. Best Seafood in the PNW.
Another day in the office..
Another nice day..
Beautifull day nice whether
Very nice job guys
Bless you all..
Thanks for watching, Victor! It was a good day.
Wow
Awesome catch love watching the video... fantastic guys
Thank you very much King Havi!
GREAT WORK GUYS!
CHEERS FROM SOUTH AUSTRALIA.
Salute to u n ur family I never been on boat n I'm from NYC so 2 totally different lifestyle wut I would luv to experience tht
Guys they're starting to harvest dog fish off Massachusetts where I grew up.. by catch has put their numbers through the roof! They are actually great eating..
Thanks Joe. Industry has tried to get fish into those markets years ago. I think the biggest challenges had to do with dealing with the urea they excrete and skinning them. I'm sure lots has changed since then and it may be worthwhile to take another look at processing them here. They can get really bad in the fall and will run halibut and everything else out of an area practically overnight.
In Ireland there good for crab potting
@@nickjohns1192 for fuck sake you have them in Ireland?? Surprised to hear that! Stay safe boys!! Lots of fishing and crabbing to be done!! God bless!
Nice haul need to order
Nice catch👍👍👍

Awesome job👍 now all ya have to do is send them Halibuts out my way😝
Thanks mericanwit.
Nice..someday wanna b there
Another great video!
Glad you enjoyed it, Ben!
If you split the octo between the eyes the two lobes of its brain will pop out ....which you can then servere from it's central nervous system. It takes a split second and the octo won't be making anymore decisions. It stops them from crawling around and you won't have to peel them from the hatchcovers. :)
Good tip Allan, thanks!
Good job T !
Thanks!
Beast mode.
So wow
Good job
great content!!!
Nice catch, I actually just caught a halibut on my channel like a week ago.
I watched it, nice shot!
@@EISAlaska thank you 🤟
Good life! Wish I could come go with you one time. For real, why don't you have a contest??????
Nice office!
It sure is!
Hasil rawe nya cukup melimpah saudaraku 👍👍👍

Thanks for watching!
Great video. I like it
Thank you very much!
Great vid..
Thanks!
This looks fun. I haven't gone before in my life. Only Set net fishing.
It is indeed. Set netting looks interesting, I bet its some hard work! A lot of patience involved. Thanks for watching, Morgan.
Wonderful long line fishing catching.
very good 👍👍👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Shout out 💪💪👏👏
Watching here in Philippines
Thanks, bambam!
Nice video
Thanks J C.
Thanks for another great video. I know it must be boring for y'all, but it looks rather fun an enjoyable to me.... as I sit here on my couch never have been on a working boat.
Glad you enjoy it Joel! It can get boring at times, but we keep ourselves entertained laughing at the gulls fighting over scraps, and enjoying the beauty of our workplace. Sometimes you pull up a cool rock or some old gear or a big fish pops up when you're not paying attention.
Amazing
Thank you! Cheers!
Voy a tomar esa práctica de sacar los anzuelos en las pescas que hago.
