I am your Captain Commercial fishing in Alaska

Fishing in Alaska this summer on the Pillar Bay. The underwater shots were filmed in 1997 on the Jackie R from Gig Harbor Wash. The boat sunk the next year.

[@skysirrico]

Right on brother. In back up here in AK for the Sitka sac roe battle. Glad you like the vids. Wait till you see what's up next.

[@ViCiOuS66]

as an ex commercial fisherman on the BC coast,, I can totally relate to everything in this video,, the only difference between canadian and amercian seiners is we use drums to spool our net aboard whereas you guys use the powerblock. also,, i think we can fish bigger boats,, wasnt the size limit on american salmon and herring seiners 55 feet at one time or has that changed since the 90s ? just curious

[@skysirrico]

Hey pkam 150, I've never fished in the bay but check out cowboys of the sea in bristol bay. It's a National Geographic show, should give you a good idea on what to expect. Good luck

[@nowimaginethat]

Damn, thats a big haul. Is that normal? ?ooks like they almost sunk the boat... and the boat DID sink the following year? I hope everyone was okay. Nice vid

[@Arzakh1]

I want to come to Alaska to do some commercial fishing too. Is it hard to get a job? and how much do they get paid in average?

[@michaeltanner14]

"WHAT IS THE SONG IN THE BEGINNING???"

[@michaeltanner14]

[@bing12345678901]

[@jpalmer0707]

They are purse seining, not trolling or trawling.

[@skysirrico]
