I really enjoyed watching this video ! That's what YTube is all about, not those who put anything together to get views. Talented and beautiful crew !! Well done. Glad for your success !
Nice video. Used to go to Alaska on the regular when I lived on the West Coast. Now live in Florida , watching I know I have to plan another trip back.
Wow, wow, wow. Dreamed of coming up that way as a kid. Ended up in NC. Every time i watch something from up there i almost get sick thinking about it. I do commercial fish here, and its what i love to do. Just wish id have went that way instead. Thanks for sharing.
I just found your channel. We baited up yesterday and head out tonight for our halibut opener. The challenge of filming while also working. Hard to do both. Hopefully I’ll be able to get a good video out. Good job on yours.
It is hard! Have a safe and successful trip and hopefully I'll find your video too! Looking forward to the opportunity to make more in the future. Maybe another trip in August with my Dad and brother. 🤞🏼
I fished out of Petersburg in the late ‘90s. Yeah I’m old ! I was younger then. Worked on the Guide and the Theresa Marie , to name a few. Excited to find your channel. You have a new subscriber.
Your a lucky lady to have your dad make you part of the crew. My daughter was a bit to young to bring along when I fished out Gloucester especially during the winter.
Winter fisheries are rough. I started with him when I was 11 and didn't appreciate it at first but grew to love it. Definitely don't overdo my workload anymore cause it's hard on the body but I'm thankful for the opportunity it's given me.
Awesome as video... the fish look like giant flounder like what we get here in New Zealand but hugerrr😂... all in all looks awesome boat, crew an scenery.
New subscriber here!😊 I loved the beautiful scenery along the shore. The fish! I wish I were young enough to make an Alaskan fishing trip! I'm looking forward to more fishing videos, I've followed the channel of a commercial halibut/cod fish/rock fish operation on Kodiak for several years. I'm glad to have found your channel. I loved the music you used on the video, and when I could hear what you were listening to on the boat your taste in music rang true! Great tunes!
I fish down south but never commercial. I eat Halibut too, but not as much because cost for us in Texas has risen quite a bit do to fuel and shipping. I'm curious did you guys far short of goal because it is becoming harder to find halibut? I know down here fishing isn't what it used to be when I was a young boy. It's a lot harder to fill a cooler with fish, crabs, anything.
Man i miss home! I remember seeing your dad's boat in the harbor when I was younger. Didn't he build it himself? I seem to remember a story that the owner of Zeus built the boat and another one like it. It has been 25+ years since I left PSG but i miss it. Thanks for the video.
Fisrt fished back in the bad old derby days, 24 hour openings. Learned from and old guy who was 64, how to run stuck gear, set 40 skates off the chute in an hour. The second boat I fished the captain was in his thirties and ran snap on gear and thought he was the faster person ever at running a roller. He took 20 hours to run 45 skates of gear. The next opening I ran the roller and after eight hours was done and he asked me what we were supposed to do now. "Run in and anchor, bait more gear and set it, what else." He hadn't been trained by an old timer so didn't learn hard core fishing, "assholes and elbows," fishing..
@@Brynnmarieblack Fished for a guy out of Kodiak one spring and he wanted to set five skates for halibut just to fill his freezers. I coiled five skates in the tubs, tied them together so I could kick one into the chute after the preceeding one ran out, and set the chute off the back of the boat and he came out and the captain said it was impossible that line would go out for more than a half second. I explained I'd set great that way many years and though it might seems impossible it really worked. I wold prove it it if we just tried. Nope. He insisted we run line from the reel and it took forever. Guess the old way is dead. Used to be unless there was a 150+ halibut one didn't stop the roller while running the roller, one had to shake all the fish as they came along, Not easy for left hander to learn to use the gaff like that, even if it was dogfish for a hundred hooks in a row.
What are those brown matts your working on? Do the keep the fish from sliding around when your cleaning them? They look like door matts. Awesome video.
Yes! You got the purpose of them right! They are called coco mats. We also use them to stand on when hauling gear in order to have more traction on deck.
A lot of the audio is poor need the talk loud or get a mic. Another tip show one shot of haulin gear slow so we can see it then high speed is fine. Like the videos. Love the scenery
Loved the content but had a problem with sound volumes. When you are talking, the volume is at one level and when you switch to the background music it gets much, much louder. I had to constantly adjust my speaker setting to balance it out.
If this was a music video it turned out great . Could not hear you talk very well because the music was so loud an saw very little fishing. Good music tho . Would love to see a lot more fishing In regular speed .Thanks
You have got the eye! Invest in some GoPro’s with multiple camera, angles, continue with shots that are scenery dominant including shots of the Mariners experience… shots of vessel, underway, piercing through waves, etc. Prepare for 10 to 25% of your work day changing batteries, changing camera angles, and utilizing your penchant for this art form by planning ahead. It’s a tall order, my dear, but I believe you fit the bill. Salutations, and, thank you!!
I watched this video so I could learn about halibut fishing but I'm still mystified, all I learned was bait and skates. It was 9 minutes before I saw an actual fish
No disrespect meant, I'm up to 8 minutes in your video and I haven't seen one fish come over the side. I guess I'll try and watch the rest and see what happens.
You'd be a really inpatient deckhand then.. that's why they call it fishing and not catching and these videos show the process, not instant gratification.
Good start. You have our attention. Now more deck time. Bravo!
loved it...a little more about catching the fish!!!.....:)...
I really enjoyed watching this video ! That's what YTube is all about, not those who put anything together to get views. Talented and beautiful crew !! Well done. Glad for your success !
You cannot beat the views and music. Thanks for sharing
Great video! The raw footage is awesome. A lot or people focus on edits and sound overs but the raw stuff is the best!
Skip to minuet 8:20 to start seeing halibut
Pretty good video, thanks for sharing!
Very nice video. Well done 😊
Very nice work!! Keep it up.. subscribed!!
Awesome video new subscriber thanks for sharing
Sounds like a great plays list on the boat.
Always!
Nice video. Used to go to Alaska on the regular when I lived on the West Coast. Now live in Florida , watching I know I have to plan another trip back.

You rock great up load. Good honest hard work. Choice lifestyle.
Looks like hard work yet what makes it wonderful is everyone knows their job and it's family, Peace.
Absolutely
Boy that's the prettiest halibut fisherman I've ever seen
If all TH-camrs we're like this what a world we would have. Absolutely wonderful
Awesome vids! I like the fact that you are fishing as a family. Reminds me of my dad and how we fished together in Palau. Thank you!
Check out greatfishak.com We are selling our own fish now!
love to watch your video.........
Hi Robin, the picture of you coming in on the side of that boat is priceless. Thank you!!!
Wow, wow, wow. Dreamed of coming up that way as a kid. Ended up in NC. Every time i watch something from up there i almost get sick thinking about it. I do commercial fish here, and its what i love to do. Just wish id have went that way instead. Thanks for sharing.
Another halibut trip video coming soon! Thanks for watching!
Great vid. Love it. You go girl!
Thank you!
Awesome! I remember back in 2012 we did a 32k trip in 4 days

Brings back memories. I worked my Uncle Roman’s gillnetter out of Port P in 1978. Great memories. Great video. Thanks.
Very cool! Thanks for watching!
We were about 25-30 miles south of Port Protection
Very cool, you were right you did a pretty good job on the video
I fished out of Petersburg in the late ‘90s. Yeah I’m old ! I was younger then. Worked on the Guide and the Theresa Marie , to name a few.
Excited to find your channel. You have a new subscriber.
Yeah I know the Theresa Marie!
@@Brynnmarieblack I heard she’s only tending now. But I crabbed aboard her, for a couple years.
That was awesome 👏
Now thats p-Town. unmistakable beauty.
What beautiful skies and weather you enjoyed!
It's was perfect conditions!
Liked and subscribed 😊
Well done! I like the use of captions as well as voice-overs. They add layers of interest to your production.
Thank you for that compliment!
Very interesting video.... I couldn't take my eye's off it.... I am now a new subscriber 😉👌
Welcome aboard!
@@Brynnmarieblack T y.... I worked one season in Dutch Harbor AK it was a great experience 👌
Awesome stuff, Hello from Southern NJ!
Your a lucky lady to have your dad make you part of the crew. My daughter was a bit to young to bring along when I fished out Gloucester especially during the winter.

I love this!
Your dad is so awsome.
I swear he never ages!!
So neat that you're able to get out with him!
Looks beautiful
Looking forward to the next trip coming up in August!
Me too!
Beautiful scenery
Hard to imagine those big flat fish getting up into the 500 lb range but it's been known to happen occasionally.
This was cool, I used to fish on the B.C. coast back in the late 80's, back then we would get 50,000lbs in 3 days !!
Damn that's a lot of poundage!
I was on the Eileen in 86 I believe, we landed 37,000 24 hrs derby opener on Portlock Bank.
Those where the days😊
I fished on the Rising Spirit @@Chuck-y1q
Thanks for showing the hard work to help feed other as well as yourselves. Hopefully the low carb numbers is a natural cycle that rebounds.
Feeding the world one trip at a time!
Hello from Mississippi
you are so lucky too be able too live this life in AK
We're thankful for it!
Lots of work !
Indeed! Had a great time though!
Cool video i pretty much do the same thing but with a longline drum we had around 1,000 halibut this last opener
Right on!
Awesome as video... the fish look like giant flounder like what we get here in New Zealand but hugerrr😂... all in all looks awesome boat, crew an scenery.
That looked totally yummy
cool video :)

I'm glad you noticed! I was happy to add that in there! Our tunes are very important to us on deck!
I would go on that Trip just for the Halibut
Awesome job chic ! Would love to see a fixed camera shot from where the tunes hang from to watch process...thank you,the crew and the captain !
It’s awesome seeing such hard working people. Great video!
Awesome.
Dream trip for me.
Thank you for sharing it was lively!
Be bless in Christ Jesus!
So cool! I’d love to see more about the process you are using to set and pull the gear.
Thanks for the feedback! Will hopefully be making another halibut video in August with more information and better footage!
Nice trip. Figured by now the trawlers would have taken them all.
Yeah they scoop up so much and don't really create sustainable fishing.
trawlers pick up halibut > ? i kinda think not
@@doncallies8803 are you joking? They're allowed more halibut as bycatch than the other user groups can harvest.
Looks fun from Ohio

It's not always difficult to find them but this trip it was so yes, that's why we fell short.
Our boat is almost done tendering and i'll be back halibut fishing for our quota

Warren Westrom built his boat.. not sure if I spelled that name right. Masculine boat and fishes well! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Wow, your eyes are 😍

40 skates in an hour is pretty good! Sounds like you knew more than the second Captain you fished for! Haha

I'm thinking they're long lineing.
I worked for AGS outta Naknek and unisea outta Dutch harbor but my goal is to grt on a boat and off land based plants.
Pretty place but I better stick to the gulf for my fishing
you go girl we need more women in the industry
Thanks but do we really? 😅
@@Brynnmarieblack nice to here from you. greetings from N.Z|. from one fisher to another keep up the good effort😁
Great. Spent 3 summers working for IPHC, always thought halibut fishers were cool!
The best!
Looks like the chicken Halibut derby. I sure miss that area and the cabin Up at deep creek.
Haha yeah I didn't get footage of our big fish coming overboard but will do better capturing them our next trip!
Been there done that for a month at a time. Hard, dangerous work. Much less fun than is shown here.
What are those brown matts your working on? Do the keep the fish from sliding around when your cleaning them? They look like door matts. Awesome video.
Yes! You got the purpose of them right! They are called coco mats. We also use them to stand on when hauling gear in order to have more traction on deck.

Hello my good friend 👉👉🔔🔔🔔
Are you using bear hides to clean those fish on
Coco mats.
You sure have pretty eyes!
I want to work with you.. I love to fishing and working onboard
So you gotta fish for fish to catch the fish? Lol!
Big fish eat smaller fish ha
If this was a music video it turned out great . Could not hear you talk very well because the music was so loud an saw very little fishing. Good music tho . Would love to see a lot more fishing In regular speed .Thanks

Wow thank you for sharing this interesting video. Also have to say you are a stunningly beautiful woman
I heard she’s married to a Mexican 😮
I watched this video so I could learn about halibut fishing but I'm still mystified, all I learned was bait and skates. It was 9 minutes before I saw an actual fish
suggestion re: video. No fast forward footage, less music, keep volume levels steady. Had to slam on mute button too much.
like to have just one halibut
3,000 lbs for 3 days that is terrible 😂😂
No disrespect meant, I'm up to 8 minutes in your video and I haven't seen one fish come over the side. I guess I'll try and watch the rest and see what happens.
You'd be a really inpatient deckhand then.. that's why they call it fishing and not catching and these videos show the process, not instant gratification.
Too much fast forward and loud music, please let us see what your are doing. It looks SO interesting!
🙄😐😑😔🤤😴
😂
LTD
Have got to be the strangest ugliest fish
You haven't seen a monkfish or angler fish then 😂
Lets see some fish. Pictures of bait does not get it for me.
volume really low need better speaker volume
@@thomascheatham8810 yeah I tried to improve that in my most recent videos
3 sets havent een a fish yet your face is nice but...
