    At 6:40 what the gentleman said "you have to be present onsite everyday" it the work ethic that most of us have forgotten. This is hard, backbreaking work and our generation doesn't realize that there are real people who labor daily to bring us our food, maintain our society and build the future. I enjoyed this episode and respect this great family working together. This is the family unit and unity that America and the world needs.

    I ADORE seeing fishing families still thriving! My uncle is a fisherman, and I have nothing but mad respect for them! But up here in the northeast (Particularly the TriState are) fishing is becoming difficult. Many of the old families either are dying out, or NOAA Fisheries is pushing them out. In my area theyre putting wind turbines off the coast (which don't get me started on, it is BAD for the ecosystem). I have fond memories of one of the boats he used to work on, and now he is his own captain. Glad to see this.
