It used to be a man could learn to fish, scratch up enough to buy a boat, and if he works hard enough at it he could make a decent living, not get rich by a long shot mind you. Now for someone to buy a boat and go fishing, you have to be wealthy already. Thats how the government wants it. It really seems they want to keep the poor people poor, and the wealthy people wealthy.
Facts
Very true. I honestly feel like they’re putting the screws to the fishermen for this exact reason. It was the Last Frontier. If a guy worked hard and was skilled (or plain lucky. Sometimes better to be lucky than good in this business lol) you could move up in the world and become self sufficient with minimal government oversight. They want us all spending a fortune to go to college just to be unemployed or boxed in a cubicle
Please
💯
It's like that in every kind of buisness now. Restraunt, bars, construction, landscaping etc. Its all by design
Fishermen, Farmers and Ranchers are the new Indians. Moved off their harvest lands, culture destroyed, generational links broken. Food supply disruption is the point.
Yeah I agree to an extent it is definitely about control. My family owned a farm for over a hundred years and they were put in a position where they had no choice but to be bought out and the entire situation was horse shit. Low and behold it is now a government farm.
My grandpa was a old school fishermen. I grew up watching him bring shrimp to cap canveral flordia. I always told him growing up I wanna be a fishermen, work on deck and go for the wheel house. By the time I was 18 there was nothing in my home town for fishing…. He said move to Alaska and try to walk the docks. 28 years old and been fishing for 7 years. And we work like ur speaking 48 hours rush to get offload and do it again for months. I’ve spent two years in the bearing sea. Long lining halibut and black cod. and pot fish grey cod. Killed salmon on wood boats as old as my grandpa. Chain drive helms. no electronics. Just a real fishermen as a captain. Not in the bearing sea but in south east inside water calm days. But it makes u a iron man in my days. So I do it all. Now i crab fish 8 months a year! Can’t say I’d do anything but fish. Pot fishing is my favorite. But fish on brother.
yeah i’m a fisherman the NOAA is a bunch of dingbats
Wow, this doc has been out a year and there is only 1 comment other than this one.
This is what's wrong with commercial fishing, there is no interest in the plight of the American commercial fisherman.
Born and raised in MA, can't complain now that is 2023 seafood is expensive. The work that a real fisherman do is beyond...
Do a sequel and show us where all these fishermen are today.
That would be a shit show lol
Sleeping witht the fishes…😁. Metaphorically… lol
This guy sounds like lou Farigno "the original Hulk"
The government has regulated the fishermen out of business. What people don't realize is that the government hasn't regulated fishermen out of business, they have regulated them out of a way of life. I know many, many men that in the prime of their lives have had the only thing they know ripped away from them. There is plenty of fish, the problem is the conservationist counting the fish aren't fishermen and they don't know how to find them. Ask any commercial fishermen and they will tell you that there are more fish out there now than there were 20-30 years ago.
Government control sucks but not every situation is as you say, there are a lot of fisheries in trouble. It’s not only people not knowing how to find them. Even fisherman have noticed massive change in 30 to 50 years. Go watch the crab fishing documentary that talks about and shows fishing in the 50s to 70s and you see a huge amount of crab that you don’t see now and it talks about how it went downhill after 1980. It’s not just them bitching about regs the fisherman themselves said they were not catching shit. Some fisheries may be over regulated but not in every case. This show even says the fisherman noticed a massive decrease in fish in the 70s
Boats prices and fuel prices have made it much harder to start an operation. It’s not a barrier to entry it’s a concrete 500 foot wall to entry.
Some may make it but they probably had some real big backing or inheritance.
It’s strange seeing Dave Marciano with hair.
No stress . . . . 🤗🤗🤗🤗
The anniversary of hurricane grace the perfect storm an the loss of the andrea gail is comin up love tht movie as well
The movie boat, sister ship, the Hanna Boden is in Pt. Judith RI. I saw it last weekend.
Bing bang boom yeha says it all
Being an x gillnetter it’s making my blood pressure go through the roof watching this hahahaha NOAA is a joke and yes I’ve had to throw fish overboard witch is sick when people could have eaten it I’m retired now cause my body’s beat to shit from fishing and I started fishing on boats with a compass and paper machine or Fathometer … those were the days.
Bullshit they make u throw over a 1000 pounds. how easy is it to take that in as 3 trips and save fuel money and see family. If u have a limit of 500 pounds per trip.
How was the lobster fisherman offshore we would catch Pollock cod fish when I come up with the traps the eyes will blow it out the bellies will bloated from the depths of the Trap the lobster trap and we cannot keep them we're about to throw them overboard
If they didnt change the regulations there would be no fish left right now...these draggers kill so many small undersized fish that never get to spawn.
great film
