Watching people who’re skilled at their craft, no matter what it is, is so amazing. Watching you guys so efficiently sort between lobsters, clipping the females, packing the bait and prepping new bait do effortlessly just screams ‘My days are long and hard, but I barely even notice till it’s already over.’ Great work, and keep it up boys!
@@Mace9396 it's like an alien abduction story. "They brought me up in this cage thing then grabbed and prodded me and put this Notch in my tail and this band on my arm, then they gave me a dead fish to eat as they threw my away and I floated back down here"
@@icarojose6316 In many of the videos when he's showing up close why they can't keep some of them, he puts a fish in their claw before throwing them overboard.
Yeah, but he only films the really big lobsters or otherones that he thinks special, and holds on that one lobster for bit. It should be pretty obvious when they are working fast its just toss because you are in rush
@@RELLIKPIR Theres a pizza place down the street from my house that uses an old blockbuster sign as their sign template. Has their name on it but you can tell what it used to be.
Thanks for introducing the crew and talking a little bit about what you do, I think a lot of us here on UA-cam found you because of the bird but subbed because of your great attitude.
The vids just randomly showed up for me. Possibly because of increased views due to the bird vids and the algorithm pushing it as a result. The birds vids didn't come until much later for me but it clinched the deal lol
I think you are demonstrating to the world, what it is to be a Maine Lobsterman . They need this kind of representation. A lot of good is coming from this for our state. Keep up the great work! Very nicely done!
Lmao I love the comparison between the working pace/methods and the methods when you're showing off a unique catch. I knew lobsters were probably more hardy than you treat them in the individual vids but this definitely seems more accurate to what they can handle. "Yeah, welcome to air, you're too small, bye" ad infinitum
Born, raised, lived my entire life in southern maine.. love your videos and what you do for the industry. My family have been involved one way or another with the fruits of the sea for many yrs! Great videos brother!
Back throughout the 90s I used to work on a onshore lobster boat, I was the bander and I baited the traps. I remember it got so foggy out that you could not see three to four feet in front of you and we had to shut everything down and continuously blow the horn, the water was as smooth as glass at those times. I used to load the boat up with the bait ( 4 55 gallon drums of strung flounder) 👍🏻 that's one job that I really enjoyed 👍🏻 I am definitely going to subscribe to this 👍🏻❤️👍🏻
For whatever reason this channel popped up in my feed and I am totally here for it. I don't subscribe to anyone and I watched just a few of your videos and immediately subscribed. I like the way you work man. I'm a hippie and believe we should treat nature as nature treats us. I love your humanity. This is what I'm talking about when I say people should know how your food is handled before it becomes your food. I'd be a customer for life with you. I buy whatever fresh catch you got.
If you see this from a Delaware Bay Waterman. Amazing videos Amazing that your showing people what life and work on the water looks like, keep up the good work
I love how you mentioned how repetition of these tasks lead to mastery of them. I never dreamed I’d be good at loading and unloading aircraft but after two years in nearly every position on the ground crew I can say it’s true! I appreciate your work and your passion! Every man dreams of being a fisherman at some point haha
Brings back fond memories of me nannying in boston. Went for a bike ride in summer to cohasset. Struck up a conversation with these old guys& teased them about their accents. Well i bet u never been on a lobsta boat! Never i said. So he took . Me down to the dock. The water was like ice still as could be. Chug chug chug went the engine. I felt like Katherine Hepburn on the African Queen. It was magical. The kindness heartwarming. What an amazing legacy to be a lobster fisherman guy. Not alot different than my dad a midwestern farmer. The weather the boat/tractor the hard work feeding people. Noble. Thankyou!
I grew up on the midcoast and have lived here most of my life. Its cool to see someone showing what we do to such a large audience. I mostly go 3rd man but if someone cant go or if im helping on a smaller boat I run sternman. It really is one of the greatest jobs out there if you ask me, always out on the water, always seeing cool and interesting things. As long as you can handle the smell of the bait, Id recommend anyone give it a try!
My dad, younger brother, and I did the lobstering thing when we were young. I ran the boat, dad handled the traps (wood traps), and my brother baited. Did that for years. The only part I miss is being out on the water. The regulations weren't nearly stringent as they are now. Thanks for making the videos. I really, really enjoy them. Love your humor in the job. Stay safe. Bottom side down.
When I was a lot younger, I worked on a stone crabbing boat, and let me tell you that was fast paced hard work! So I can only imagine that these boys earn their money here.
Thank you for holding the camera! You have an awesome Shorts channel, I really enjoy learning completely random and useless facts about lobsters, and I mean that with the utmost sincerity! Also, seeing the blue lobster was badass!
I don't care how repetition is I think it's a cool way to make a living!! And I understand it's not for everybody!! Keep up the good work Jacob!!! Be safe, and your crew sir!!!
God I miss working on a boat! I'm originally from the county, but fished out of Corea for four years! Being a sternman is easily my favorite job I've ever had! Love your content man! Keep it up
Thank you for sharing your days on the boat. I’m learning a lot about lobsters. I love the way you give them a snack when you release them. Fascinating 😊 I have a cousin flying out to Maine to meet up with a friend who works catching lobsters also.
Lobsters that are undersized or female breeders will get thrown back. There is a hand measure that is used to determine exact length, but once you've been doing it a while you can tell when one is obviously too short. If a female with eggs is caught then you put a V-shaped notch in its right tailfin so that other fisherman will no to throw them back in the future.
Past 2 years have had me in hospital fighting.A year ago i had a transplant&am blessed to be here.I have always wanted to experience a day or two working on an 🦞Atlantic Lobster boat.Im getting on now but still think you've got the best job ever.Thanks for making my hard days a lil better by taking me away with you.🇨🇦🦞🦞🦞
This channel is pure gold. Really puts into perspective all the work behind the fish/seafood at the fish munger. I guess you keep track of where your traps are via gps? Don’t want any other fisherman stealing your catch

Always remember to punch a pregnant lobster.

I legitimately thought you guys gave treats to every non keeper. I was like “no way those guys carry that much extra”
The treats are baits they aren’t doing charity, they are baiting them.

Working on a lobster boat has been the hardest and yet most rewarding jobs I have ever had.
Makes it worth it when cap lets you take a couple home everyday then you feel so rich your tired of lobster
You must’ve never had a hard job then
How do you get into that industry...
@@luckeyfuataha4784 u gotta know someone or go to maritime school
Dam I know no one....guess be fingers crossed...bugga..
It's crazy how efficient he is at sorting the lobsters. He can glance at them for half a second and know if they're keepers.

Hello Keith and RJ, It a long day thats a back-breaking job. Thank you for bringing us lobsters in Maine. You are appreciated.
I love that you take a little time to educate people about the biology, ecology and economy of lobsters!

These are some hard working fellas
this is exactly what aliens do with us
Apparently it was traumatic to get yeeted without a snack 😂
I admire your hard work and dedication to your craft. It takes motivation and courage to be a owner/operator so kudos!
Seems like a very awesome group who loves what they do. I pray for great weather and calm tides for you guys, keep up the amazing work!

Makes me wish I was working on one again! Fresh lobster is freaking the best
No fancy glamour beauty daddy’s girl ✅
No “successful success” course ✅
No clickbait ✅
Just normal fellas working hard✅
That’s 10/10 for me
What kind of fish was that bait? Is some fish better than others or is what you use cost driven?
Wow. I like seeing this side of what y'all do. THANKS! 👏🙏✌️😊
Credit where it's due guys, been and done several seasons and it's hard work when the catch is good, go hard boys.
Guarantee every single one of them makes as much as most doctors at least lol
Hard work. You don’t need to go to the gym IMO!😊
Coming from the mtns of Kentucky your videos are so interesting. It’s cool to watch and I’m learning things id never learn otherwise
Love watching the lobsters doing cartwheels going Weeeeeeee! as they fly through the air 🥰😆😆

Whew! You guys really work for your pay! (As the saying goes, dirty hands, clean money) Hats off to you guys you work like champs!
Thank you. I appreciate you explaining everything. ❤. In Northern WI, we have no idea how this all works!
What criteria do they use to determine which lobsters to keep in which to throw back?
Lobsters that are undersized or female breeders will get thrown back. There is a hand measure that is used to determine exact length, but once you've been doing it a while you can tell when one is obviously too short.
If a female with eggs is caught then you put a V-shaped notch in its right tailfin so that other fisherman will no to throw them back in the future.
