    5th generation fisherman, that's awesome, wouldn't be surprised if Jacob was born on a boat or spawned from the sea

      Hey sorry to bother you, but as a fishermen, do you know how hardy you have to be? I've seen a scrawny dude from my last job about my Size 6'2 in hight and both of us were fairly skinny about 170-180 pounds each, he left UPS and started working on bait boats, dunno what a bait boat is but i assume it's someone who brings fishermen bait, he said its 10xs easier lifting and dealing with bait and catching lobster as you hardly sweet, I'm skinny but I sweat so much it became a massive worry for my family, anyway It always seems cloudy and cool weather over there and whenever my friend sends a video, he would have already worked 4 hours but didn't break a sweat due to how cold everything is, anyway if he made it, do you think someone my size can handle it? Or is it something you need to be able to bench 250 pounds easily like how UPS let us.

    I love it when vocations become traditions and passions that carry on throughout generations. There is a family up the road from me who are on their 7th or 8th generation of stewarding, tapping, and boiling maple syrup on the same acreage.

    Absolutely amazing that you were able to get into doing what you love at such an early age. My family was in the roofing business. I could roof a house as a teen, but I hated it and got far away from it the first chance I got. 😅

      My grandfather was a roofer and fell off the roof and became disabled. He was disabled the entire time of my life. He sat on the couch drinking Budweiser and watching westerns or wrestling.
      Roofing is a hard job and can be dangerous. He knew a lot a men that got hurt doing that job. Some worse than others.

    Great intro video - loved seeing pics of you as a boy with your Dad and Granddad. 😊 I lived in Maine for 7 years close to the coast and I would go to lobster pounds in the Harpswell area to eat or get lobsters for dinner at home. Watching your channel brings back good memories, and I admire the way you and your crew do your work. I'm excited to watch the future open up for you and your family with the vacation rentals and other income streams you have going. Stay safe and be well!

    I grew up in a small isolated fishing community in Nova Scotia and while I never did any lobster fishing myself, it's bringing back a lot of memories of my home town and the people there when I watch your content (even the accent is almost identical)!
    It's cool learning how much there is to know about lobsters and the fishing process that I never knew about despite being around it as a kid. Guess I was just too busy eating the lobsters to care lol
