    Great video. That one fella throwing the hook in such a confined space did well. That crew has a very efficient rhythm and way about doing their business. I gotta say, your way of editing, narration, etc., is excellent, and is maybe the most important factor of why I watch, other than the cool content itself. I agree with you that dawn barely breaking is a great time of day. An example of what I mean by your excellent videos is like when you take the time to move the view to what you are talking about AND leaning over the side with the cam later to show another example. Well done. (Are those snails used at restaurants as escargot?) That's all one big longgg line of bait traps with and anchor on each end? You aren't kidding about keeping the line untangled and orderly. I'm sure that has been a hard lesson learned on multiple occasions in the past for some greenhorn. That body of water must really have a great deal of snails on the bottom. How long do those traps sit out before they haul them in again?

These boys graft very harm and one thing that did stand out to me is the harmony in which they work. Brilliant team to spend your time with. Have a great day Benny and take care. 😊👍🏻🐚

      Escargot is the French word for snail. The type found in restaurants under that name is the edible land snail.
