This is awesome! I was a deckhand for Skipper Eric back in my college days. I had zero experience and easily got seasick. I think the only reason he took me was I was good friends with his sons. After a week of getting sick my equilibrium reset to a steady sway and I felt better. Easily the hardest job I have ever had, 5am to 10pm every day when we were on the water. We would come back to town ever few days or so to sell. But if you weren’t fishing you weren’t making any money. Charlie, you picked the right guy to take you out. Eric is a class act and a patient teacher.
Oh my garsh! I remember Eric! Didn't deck hand for him, but he and my dad are buds. He would call my wrestling meets. Can still hear his raspy voice going "And another take down!"
To be honest I don't think it's either I think he might just sound like that from all the screaming he might have to do on the boat I don't know what it's like to be on a boat but I'm sure it's pretty noisy out there.
A bad day on the water is better than a great day a work. I agree with you fishing is such a relaxing hobby when your not dealing with the dicks but there’s dicks everywhere you go in this world. Wishing you Tight lines my friend
@@liquidoxygen819 Ope. Looks like ya got yaself ghosted there friend. Now my 3rd cousins friend knows a friend that's lookin to answer questions. Why don cha come on down to the next fish fry.
I spent 14 glorious days looking at Mount Edgecumbe from my aunt Mary’s house. Sitka is a beautiful town with wonderful people! Can’t wait to go back!!
Welcome to Alaska! We love midwest folks here, lots of cheese heads including myself! 😀 The question I got in the lower 48 constantly was “Ohhh Alaska!! Like the crab guys show!”
Well what a coincidence, I’m a Wisconsinite and I’m in Alaska right now on vacation. I was in Juneau last year and this year I’m in Homer. Caught halibut in Juneau and this Saturday I’ll be going for halibut, rockfish, and king salmon!
As a born and raised sconnie, it's always been a dream of mine to move to Alaska. That said if they think we talk Funny then I think I'll stay here. Very funny stuff. Keep er moving.
@CharlieBerens Alaska’s honored to have you!! Hope you come back and do more videos in the Last Frontier!! I might not be a commercial fisherman but the work ethic is the same for us pipe-liners up in the oil fields of the North Slope. I recently relocated to Wisconsin for work (solar energy’s taking over), and got a pleasant surprise: met my soulmate who’s born and raised in the Badger State, and we are happily engaged to soon be married ❤ and he loves my Alaskan accent 😂(I didn’t know we had one). Again, many thanks for the video Charlie!!
@IronDogger kinda a long shot of a question; did you happen to know, or do any dog mushing with my friend Joel Switzer?? I so wish he was still alive today!! I can totally see him showing Charlie the ropes on Dog Mushing 😆
Idk how this doesn’t have to a million views. So hilarious, this channel and Charlie Berens are both slept on. They’ll be nearing 1 million subs in no time. As a southern guy from southeastern North Carolina I love watching how these northern-midwesterners act.
Ohhhh man you were in Southeast Alaska!!! U gotta swing back Ketchikan next time u head to Alaska, we are the "Salmon Capital of the World" ... We need Charlie in Ketchikan!!!
Bro I’m so happy to hear that other people know what sheephead is I live in Minnesota and no one I know knows how to play except my family and I love the game.
Sheboygan checking in. :-) If you'd spent more time here you'd know all that stuff already. But really, great interview style shots of the two of them and an excellent edit. Very "The Office"...but not because...well, y'know. Ope, I said too much.
@@CharlieBerens Loved it. Hope the trip up there was fun. Beautiful state. Big credit to Heather and Eric for being such good sports and being GREAT on camera. Heather's facial expressions were excellent.
I went out with some neighbors who competitively fish for Lake Trout on Lake Ontario. My lord. I thought I'd be a big help, these guys had it down to a science. I basically stood to the side and handed em what they told me to.

OMG THE CAPTAIN VOICE... he cracked me up everysingle time he started speaking
Great show constant laughs. I have to listen closely to understand what you're saying. Ya'll talk kind of funny. It was worth the effort. Now I'm fixen to play it again.
We don't actually speak like that in WI - the tone of voice esp. , is exaggerated quite a bit from what - usually the older folks , esp. in Norwegian-heavy areas - sound like . In my experience anyways. If the younger ones do it, it's on purpose or our of habit from doing it on purpose. Not to mock anyone, but to celebrate anything unique and homey about our home. I'm in western WI, Dunn co. , and don't "get out " a lot tho, never have. So, this is very much just my experience.
@@ajb.822 that was sarcasm. I am a southern boy and make fun of everyone else for having an accent. Because we speak perfectly and the rest of the world needs to pay attention.
So funny! 😂 When we were stationed up at Elmendorf, middle of summer....midnight, so full light....outside on the sidewalk....neighbor cleaning a salmon. 😂 True story.
Haha my parents were born and raised in Cornell WI (near Chippewa Falls) and moved to AZ where I was born. I inherited my "Ope" and love of the Packers from them!! 😀💚💛🧀
I immediately recognized the volcano in the background - Mount Edgecumbe. Look up Mount Edgecumbe April fools prank for a good laugh. One of the most legendary April fools pranks of all time! I fly up to Sitka occasionally for work. Beautiful area. Love the videos Charlie! Used to live in the Midwest too and get a good laugh. You blended with the locals in Seahawk territory amazingly well for being a packer fan. 🤣
Thanks, that was a great prank, too bad he didn't have access to some of those big display fireworks, maybe a few sticks of dynamite, that could have been even more epic!
Yeah geeze, when you coming down south to Illinois eh? I gotta couple two tree of Dem walleyes in the freeze for ya. My wife is from Wisconsin. If you see her folks tell em I says hey. Seriously I love the content and I'm from Chicago hope to see you around here soon. Take care bub

That's awesome man glad i seen your post and ya fishing is tough. I'm a fisher on the east coast Canada.
Stay salty folks 😊❤️
Oh my garsh! I remember Eric! Didn't deck hand for him, but he and my dad are buds. He would call my wrestling meets. Can still hear his raspy voice going "And another take down!"
I love these little videos that he does when he visits places
thanks Bob!
Makes the entire trip a tax writeoff ;)
Yeah the first time ones are great too
Yea
Sorry, I ruined the 369
I can’t tell if skipper is acting or legit frustrated at Charlie 😂
Both
Definitely both
Both
To be honest I don't think it's either I think he might just sound like that from all the screaming he might have to do on the boat I don't know what it's like to be on a boat but I'm sure it's pretty noisy out there.
He’s a boomer. Comes naturally to them
It’s kind of funny that you could actually see how excited Charlie was when he really caught a salmon.
Best deadliest catch parody ever.
thanks Marvyn!
No its the best Liveliest Catch
Wonkiest Catch? Ope-iest Catch? Catchiest Catch?
“You ever been ocean fishin”
“Ya I’ve caught a 35 lb muskie in da Green Bay”.
Which is now mounted in Hayward.
As someone from southeast Alaska who knows the trolling industry well. This is absolutely hysterical and well done.
Is that an average size for a king out there? The average steelhead in the tributaries out here are the same size, thought that salmon would be bigger
@@amandam8609 that was a small king salmon. It was barely legal at 28”
Everyone is laughing at Charlie acting like a goof, while I'm thinking man what a beautiful day out on the water. What a lucky guy,
A bad day on the water is better than a great day a work. I agree with you fishing is such a relaxing hobby when your not dealing with the dicks but there’s dicks everywhere you go in this world. Wishing you Tight lines my friend
That might be a sign that you are a true midwesterner
As a fisherman, this is one of the funniest things I have ever seen!
thanks Benjamin glad ya liked it! where do you fish?
I deep sea fish in California and fish with down riggers for lake trout(similar to salmon)
@@CharlieBerens What is the biggest walleye you’ve pulled out of lake Winnebago?
@@benjaminwaterman6964 He has never pulled anything from the Winnebago, caught some nice ones from the back of the Chevy though!!
@@charlie21gunner87 Hahaha I bet!
This brings so much joy to my day!
glad to hear it!
I love how mid west jokes could easily transfer to life on the praries in Canada and still be funny
That's also mid west bud
Long way from Manitowoc, Charlie.
Do you mind if I ask what your profile picture is of? Looks gorgeous
@@liquidoxygen819 Ope. Looks like ya got yaself ghosted there friend. Now my 3rd cousins friend knows a friend that's lookin to answer questions. Why don cha come on down to the next fish fry.
Eric and Heather seem great, must have been fun to record that day. I hope they loved this video.
Spots mountains: Charlie you aren't in 'sconsin anymore
It's like a bumpy Manitowoc
Love Sitka Shares!! Makes great holiday gifts. Well done, Charles.
I feel that on Charlie would say, “watch out for deer” to skipper on his last day.
It's amazing he could keep making jokes while catching a king salmon. When I'm fighting a coho it's just swears and grunts
Oh ya that was good ya know! Hello from Minnesota!
hey Der Minnesota
Definitely our 21st century Gilligan
I spent 14 glorious days looking at Mount Edgecumbe from my aunt Mary’s house. Sitka is a beautiful town with wonderful people! Can’t wait to go back!!
That man has been yelling at deckhands for so many years and at such a volume, that his vocal cords are blown out. Eric was meant for that job.
Eric is a stage 4 throat cancer survivor. Used to have a radio voice.
@@ericsarahjordan
If you’re not fucking with me, then: damn that’s rough, but either way, what a perfect gig for ‘em.
Ope! Sorry I didn't apologize before I made an utterance there, jeezum crepes...
Your videos are hilarious sir 😂😂😂
All of these videos are fantastic.
Welcome to Alaska! We love midwest folks here, lots of cheese heads including myself! 😀 The question I got in the lower 48 constantly was “Ohhh Alaska!! Like the crab guys show!”
but Alaska mosquitos are bigger than the distance between a Bear's football and the goalposts...
Charlie found the P bar! That place is legendary! 0:33
That was great! Looked like a really good time. 😎👍
it was a blast. Glad ya liked it!
Have you ever been to Sheboygan? 😂 Lived there over 4 years, and Charlie's Sheboygan references are hysterical every time. Keep 'em comin'.
Right up there with the cranberry farm, keep up the good work eh! 👍🏻👍🏻
That was so much fun to watch! Thanks (as always) for making me smile. 😜
Extremely cool episode! Keep going, Decky!
Well what a coincidence, I’m a Wisconsinite and I’m in Alaska right now on vacation. I was in Juneau last year and this year I’m in Homer. Caught halibut in Juneau and this Saturday I’ll be going for halibut, rockfish, and king salmon!
A nice heart warming end to a fishy tail. Love it!
Always a good show, Charlie!
Charlie, you manage to make friends wherever you go! And so noble of you to "donate" all that money you took with you on your trip... 😉
Captain Eric is a pretty alright salt! That decky aint worth much, the tall one I mean.
I'd have to agree with this assessment
As a born and raised sconnie, it's always been a dream of mine to move to Alaska. That said if they think we talk Funny then I think I'll stay here. Very funny stuff. Keep er moving.
Hey Charlie, I grew up Midwest, moved to Alaska for ten years love fishing inland or at sea
Ohhhhh Alaska embraces you buddy 🤙🏽
it's an honor !

I used to go to the P Bar (Pioneer Bar) and cash my paychecks from Sitka Sound Seafood, which was right across the street. Crazy place.
Skipper Eric was great! Really enjoyed your time at sea, decky!
I’ve been salmon fishing in Alaska. It’s super dope and fun. Glad you got to fish up there!
Thus was super well done and very cool.
You can't tell me that's not Super Dave Osborne in witness protection
allegedly
@@CharlieBerens ope, sorry for blowing his cover.
@@notdoug4651 Sounds like Super Dave.

Whoever came up with this collaboration is a marketing genius
This was so cool to see. Excited to see you keep'er moving and doing other things 😁.
Hahaha love ya Charlie. Be safe out there on your adventures. Cheers, till the next video
Good catch there Charlie!
“I gotta get home! .. That’s a joke! ... sometimes the best jokes are also true..” 😂😂
One of your best !
thank you ! I had a ton of fun making this one
Loved there for 16 years n knew Eric n Heather. Great country, miss it.
As a fisherman, this is awesome. I’ve caught salmon before, it is honestly one of the most fun fish to catch for sure
Keep her movin
heck yeah

I’ll be there this weekend. Looking forward to it.
Ha! Ain’t seen Eric Jordan in years. Never thought I’d see Edgecumbe, Eric, and Heather on this channel👍
DUDE, this is PERFECT
Aww Grandpa Bob is smiling down on Charlie
Sheboygan checking in. :-)

Big credit to Heather and Eric for being such good sports and being GREAT on camera. Heather's facial expressions were excellent.
I live in Sitka its amazing you got some film with good weather
Captain Eric just made me pay his tab and he hasn't ordered anything yet, and we're not at a bar.
Great video!!!

Finally made it! Good for you!! Now have some real Alaskan salmon!
This is top notch Bud!

Missed that flight and money😂😂 *Perfection* 🤣
Good video
Yep😁
thank you!
Do a Wisconsin Accent tutorial video!!
Love this. As an Alaskan girl, this cracked me up.
Lol! “Should’ve thought more about this before I started stress eating (prunes)”
4 am. Have to be there before the sun comes up.
I’m thinking the skipper was debating if Charlie can float or not..
🍻
You should do a riff off of homestead rescue that would be funny AF
Him trying to sing wellerman would be a good part to this
Eric needs to be a voice actor or a comedian
The guy is hilarious 🤣
Love the videos Charlie keep er movin an watch out for deer...👍
Looks like Lake Winnepasaki to me..
"I'm sailing!...... Ahoy!.... "
I can't stop laughing ! I'm having trouble typing from the tears in my eyes!
I would go nuts with this guy on board.
Great video.....ya missed the tide Charlie! 😂😂
“Liveliest catch”
Another great video
Haha this was the best video yet.
