I live in London, driving Double Decker Buses for 27 years. I really love how you both have such a chilled rhythm on the boat. Father and Son. Thank you so much.
I kind of wish I was a graphic designer or something when you said " NO more Skate" I had visions of a funny t-shirts being made with a big skate coming up on the line and it saying " Hi guys, thanks for another free lunch see you next year " ;)

Len, I don't remember past seasons with you having so many skates, it almost looks like you are having a invasion of the beggars, your thoughts. @32:46 that big mother didn't get away this time.
I was very pleased at the end when I saw so many halibut to be processed. The set seemed to be Skate after skate it was also interesting to see that whilst in proportion you were catching a higher percentage of skate the number of cod caught in the set was way down. But overall a good return of Halibut for a set. Initially I was feeling well you fluked a nice netting of herring so bait cost way down but all you were catching was skate in return so good karma was not being rewarded. Overall a good enjoyable video, thank You.
This time I like to see how you start out with laying out your bait lines. And how you cut up the bait and store it for the next time. Very interesting!!🙂✌️✌️👍👍🙏🙏👋👋
what an awesome trip. So what do you guys do when you are not fishing or working on the emerald isle with the Family?Do you go out to the local restaurant for a meal together or catch a movie.Hunt?... i'm curious.Love your content.
if you had set to fish for skates , there no chance to get that many :D One idea Matt maybe consider to put a camera in the middle of your line under water . It will be great to have some footage of that , and maybe it will help you guys understand more about the fish actions , maybe the hooks or the length of them . Or how they approach the bait and etc.
Hey guys nice to see a good days boating, if you had been United Kingdom fishermen you would be millionaires by now on those beautiful Skate you threw back, here in London Skate wings fetch a mighty fancy price, and for good reason they're delicious! I hope Matt can claim tax back on the $25 for the lost gaff, well Dad did have to cover his running expenses🙂
I know in hobby fishing size of bait matters. The larger the bait the larger the fish. Have you ever tried whole fish as bait? I am guessing the cost on return may not work with your number of hooks.
A nice swivel stool fitted to the underneath of that baiting table that swings out would be nice to rest on , it will help your back and feet resting as you work , 😝
Haha, that’s a novel idea! As uncomfortable as it might be we gotta stay on our feet since it’s more ergonomic for working, a stool sadly might also prove a hazard for line or hooks to get wrapped around inadvertently. 🥲
We’ve heard of them being used for imitation scallops I think it was? Quite interesting, we can’t keep enough skates for it to be viable for us unfortunately.
My goodness, been watching for a few years now. Always wondered why yall don't get Giants. Finally see yall hook one and you lose him! Ahh man! Good drama! Should probably put a gun near by or a harpoon.
It's unfortunate that skate has no value in your area. I was watching an English fisherman targeting them in and around the Bristol Channel. My bet is that skate wings find their way into fish fingers as well as wet fish in a fishmonger's shop. I don't think it's an acquired taste as such. I've seen it in lower South Island (NZ) fish shops so there must be a demand.
You all are catching a lot of Skates. Probably a payback for releasing the big Halibut the other day. Next time don't slam a gaff into the Halibut if you are going to release it. And yes, you did release it, which was obvious by the lack of action by the old man, not even trying to help with a 2nd gaff. I'm not upset because you wanted it to go back, I'm upset because of the one gaff that did get in to the fish. You know better and the audience deserves better.

Father and Son.
Thank you so much.
The look on Matts face when he lost the gaff--precious lol
I kind of wish I was a graphic designer or something when you said " NO more Skate" I had visions of a funny t-shirts being made with a big skate coming up on the line and it saying " Hi guys, thanks for another free lunch see you next year " ;)
I appreciate the fact that you pop the hooks with a gaff. Better for the fish and how people view commercial fishing.
I really appreciate and enjoy watching you guy's fish thanks for sharing your day on the water for those of us who can't get out there 👍👍👏👏🙂🙂
It's great when you can get your own baits saving money
It certainly is, saves us a good chunk of change and it’s fun for us to do and viewers to watch! 🙂
A good enjoyable video, thank You.
Good Stuff Thanks Guys
Thanks again for bringing us along Gents!
Boy I wish I could spend some time on the boat with you guys ,that would be my vocation, 🥰👍🇬🇧

Man you guys hooked some HUGE skates this trip
You guys have some great office to work in..... LOL I wouldn't mind driving to and fro every day....
All good!
This time I like to see how you start out with laying out your bait lines. And how you cut up the bait and store it for the next time. Very interesting!!🙂✌️✌️👍👍🙏🙏👋👋
AS A CAPTAIN YOU TWO WORK VARY WELL TOGETHER, I WOULD TRUST YOU BOTH TO DO THE JOB NEEDED TO BRING HOME THE FRESH FISH .
Fantastic
Nice Job! Enjoy seeing you guy's out Fishing! Always entrusting to watch whatever you do! Thank You For Taking Us Along!🙂
Great video. With all those skate, you should have brought a hockey stick and a puck. hehehe.
Wow you guys hit skate land there. Some were huge also, but at least you got a few halibut.😊
Nice haul! Thanks yall
You guys ever considered trying to catch a few on rod and reel . It might be interesting to see
the angle of the camera was great nice video sorry for the gaff loss be safe and healthy till next time bye bye for now.
Weather is as good as it gets. Great for hauling gear. U guys don't mention tides and moon stuff. Always paid attention to that.
what an awesome trip.
So what do you guys do when you are not fishing or working on the emerald isle with the Family?Do you go out to the local restaurant for a meal together or catch a movie.Hunt?...
i'm curious.Love your content.
Wow skate or die dude! Crazy how many you catch!
HI GUYS FROM SWEDEN GOOD WORK MEN 👋👋👋👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
First time I’ve seen the reel fully depleted!
if you had set to fish for skates , there no chance to get that many :D
One idea Matt maybe consider to put a camera in the middle of your line under water . It will be great to have some footage of that , and maybe it will help you guys understand more about the fish actions , maybe the hooks or the length of them . Or how they approach the bait and etc.
Greetings from Belgium. 👍
Seems it was a skating rink down there. I'll show myself out, thank you.
So good very good❤❤❤❤❤
in the uk about 40 yrs ago you could buy skate wings at the fish and chip shop
I love Alaska I even watch outdoor boys they live up there near you I think
Hi, I'm from Portugal, I really like your channel, keep up the good work. Now I have a question, why do you release the skates?
Hey at least the halibut didn't get off this time.l it coated you $5 bucks but you'll make it back.good video thanks
Would be nice to see you use the drone agin. Beautiful area.
When is the Emerald Isle going to be ready for her first fishing voyage?
I guess the cost of the gaff is offset some by the cost of the bait. All in all a nice catch even if it was so spread out.
Would adding a swivel at one end of the ganyon cut down on the line twist?
What is the spacing between hooks and how are they kept spaced on the cable?
Go look and their videos.They have a bunch of them that show you everything it's called research yourself.Stop being lazy
Those little naps are called checking the eyelids first cracks
How many times a year can use fish for each species of fish
Have you guys tried to magnet fish off the boat? Ya might find some cool things or ya might get the magnet caught in rocks.
i'd like to see how your bait lines attach to the long line
Is there a market or season for skates? Really like the videos. Thanks.
Hey guys nice to see a good days boating, if you had been United Kingdom fishermen you would be millionaires by now on those beautiful Skate you threw back, here in London Skate wings fetch a mighty fancy price, and for good reason they're delicious!

Do seals take the fish off the baited hooks or have you caught them.
The top view that you’re showing now is far better than any of you you’ve had even when you’re holding the camera
Is there a market for skates? I know they'll eat everything in Asia.
Fun
😊😊😊😊😊
Is there no market for the skates? Dog food?
I know in hobby fishing size of bait matters. The larger the bait the larger the fish. Have you ever tried whole fish as bait? I am guessing the cost on return may not work with your number of hooks.

What type of skates do you catch?
must be sting ray season,,, Jerry
So how long did that skate follow you befor lol
G'day mate I was just wondering do halibut get parasites inside like worms and stuff where is the water to cold down there
What does the Salt do?
Were i live the skaters we could cut off the wings off and the fish plant s would buy it ❤
We’ve heard of them being used for imitation scallops I think it was? Quite interesting, we can’t keep enough skates for it to be viable for us unfortunately.
with the cost of fuel do you make any money
veddy veddy good
when when big boat?????
Very very soon. 😄
With all those skates you should catch clean and sell for yourself if cost effective
You can eat the wings of a skate, so why throw them all back?
When it comes to those big ones, a guy thinks you both need to gaff them at the same time, that’s two big fish that have thrown poor mat for a loop.
Or a actual gaff hook slap gaffs suck for big fish
My goodness, been watching for a few years now. Always wondered why yall don't get Giants. Finally see yall hook one and you lose him! Ahh man! Good drama! Should probably put a gun near by or a harpoon.
Too bad that you can't use skates for bait since they eat so much of the hard-earned bait.
How about a safety cover over that spinning drum. Would cut your hand clean off. Sorry it bothered me.
It's unfortunate that skate has no value in your area. I was watching an English fisherman targeting them in and around the Bristol Channel. My bet is that skate wings find their way into fish fingers as well as wet fish in a fishmonger's shop. I don't think it's an acquired taste as such. I've seen it in lower South Island (NZ) fish shops so there must be a demand.
If you want to increase viewership think about doing catch and cook of some sort, people love it.
You all are catching a lot of Skates. Probably a payback for releasing the big Halibut the other day. Next time don't slam a gaff into the Halibut if you are going to release it.

Get over yourself
You did not lose a gaff you right where it is its just out of your reach
Hey, what’s wrong with you guys you can’t get the big ones in the boat ha ha ha..!😅😂
😊😊😊😊😊
