Y’all are amazing. Keep showing the world how “it would be nice to work on a boat,” is nonsense. You and your crew work harder than 97% of the rest of the planet. Thank you from a landlubber Mainer. Also, thanks for feeding the non-keepers!!
Love the long form. Also love the shorts too. The claw spa is hilarious, I actually watch a lot of animal channels. I never knew how much I'd enjoy learning about different industries. Tom Pemberton, Pemberton Farms. Dairy cows, farming. Also the hoofgp. Who knew how fascinating watching cows get their hoofs trimmed would be. So much love goes into the animals well being. How every effort goes into the animal's health is taken care of. You've got something special here Jacob. I look forward to watching.
I also watch the HoofGP and Morgan Gold of Gold Shaw Farms in Vermont. Morgan is a really personable former city boy who started with fruit/nut trees, ducks and geese. He got chickens once he realized he couldn't eat waterfowl eggs and got a livestock guardian dogs and barn cats once he realized he needed them. He's expanded to add bees, Highland cows and tried raising a few pigs this year. He's thinking about trying sheep next year "Never goats", but not sure about continuing pigs. He likes how they cleared some land for him, but doesn't want to breed them like he does his other animals. He likes being a small-ish farmer with variety and the cycle of how different animals revive the land. He's also limited on how he can sell his livestock products due to Vermont/Federal food processing laws.
Farmers / ranchers are awesome people!! Jacob and his family farm / ranch the sea for lobsters. We farmed / ranched the prairie of So Dak. When I was a kid we sold eggs to buy groceries. The egg boxes ( 30 doz ) went in the in door and by the time you had. Shopped the eggs were candled and checked and the tab was waiting at the checkout. If you had enough eggs and not too many groceries the eggs would cover the bill!! Same with cream. Federal regulations put a stop to that long ago 😢 Farming/ ranching is the only business I know of where you invest your $$ never knowing what you will be able to get for your product at harvest. Jacob invests in equipment and diesel whether he gets a large number of lobsters or just 1 or 2. Thank You Jacob for conserving the resources of the Atlantic. ❤
No way I'm watching Cow videos. They taste way too good to risk the chance I'll stop eating them. I'll wait until my diet is mostly pudding, when the downside risk is lower, to start watching cows.
Man, that opener is chilling. Really puts us, the viewers in the mindset of how dangerous this job can get, and just how at the mercy of the elements you guys really are.
Sponsors are for the most part how a TH-camr can make money. It just depends on if Jacob will consider offers from companies. Not all are legit A lot of work goes into vetting a contract. However I'd like to see some good come his way. Any kind of gear or tools. No one complains about NASCAR drivers or football players doing endorsements.
Excellent informative videos. As someone who spent a summer as a stern man on a boat in Casco bay, I can honestly say that you are “the real deal”. Longer videos would be appreciated. Great job!
Thanks as always, Jacob and crew. I definitely appreciate the efforts toward sustainability! The dad joke material at the end is a nice side takeaway: How do lobster fishermen say goodbye? “Catch ya later!”
Loved the video! Crazy you caught 2 now with a tag and that's pretty cool! We love watching because you're real and you're humane to your lobsters! And your dimples are adorable too! lol
Oh yeah @eot4637 he’s not hard to look at , very easy on the eyes! I’m old enough to be his Grandmother for sure. He is a heck of a hard worker for sure. Such a very respectable, responsible man with a lovely wife and kids he adores 💝
Jacob. It is awesome to see the passion you have for lobstering. And for the outdoors. Me being from Michigan and you from Maine. We are surrounded by it. I was always taught to embrace it , protect it, and don’t waste it… thank you again for teaching us all a little about lobstering.
Yay! Jacob has a sponsor! Well deserved. Great video today -- also love the production value of your videos, Jacob. Gettin' super good at that camera work!🎥👍
My name is, Donna I'm a 65 year old, single Australian woman, who lives alone in a remote outback location. I have no family or friends - but I have God and my dog's, and I'm OK with that 😁 I just wanted you to know that far over the ocean this old Aussie girl has, and is, saying prayers and sending love for you, Karen ♥️ God bless you 🙏♥️🇦🇺
@NobodybutJesus-nu9vp Thank you. I'm struggling. My family is from Maine and I miss it terribly. I lost my cat to cancer this year. I can only breathe. I'm 63 and I don't understand why life is so hard. But I watch Jacob and remember my days out on the water. He is a blessing.
@@lilytheboycatHi! I'm 66 and lived in New Hampshire for 20years and now live down the Jersey shore. I'm in danger of losing my home. I am disabled, but I have God on my side. Whatever he deems right for me I will follow. I'll pray for you. It always helps. I also wonder why life is so hard,it gets worse every day. But I keep on pushing. Love and hope to you. Keep the faith! Bless you!❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing more details about the sustainable aspect of the Maine lobster fishing industry. I think that gets lost on a lot of people who associate lobster with decadence and luxury. It may seem expensive, but that is because the industry can last indefinitely and you are paying the true cost of the product. The same goes for shellfish farming industry which is just as sustainable and as an important food source as lobsters. I hope I speak for others when I say that we would love to hear more about that side of things in the industry from someone who lives and works it. Keep up the amazing content, one of the best channels on youtube!
I never thought of it that the traps need cleaning every now and then. Learned something new today, thnx! And it would be really nice to see more longer videos!
From another Maine sternman, Personal opinion, Keith has the correct order of operations. No point in checking the tail, sex or eggs if they’re not a keeper. Measure first. Tail second, eggs and sex third as they’re both under the tail.
Great video Jacob! It’s refreshing to watch an honest, hard working crew out there with some enthusiasm to provide us with some clean entertainment. I’ve been out lobster fishing with some friends off Yarmouth years ago and you remind me of him. Pray you were safe from Lee. Thanks for sharing!!!
Thank you Jacob and crew. Your videos are fascinating, educational and entertaining. Life just doesn't get any better. God bless and protect you and your beautiful family.❤
The wife and are excited for you, your crew, and family that you're blowing up but also sad because so many are discovering you. You deserve it but it felt like it was our little secret page. Congrats. Keep up the fun videos!
Wow! I learned so much about this lobster fishing industry. 3 parts stood out. - The washing, cleansing and maintenance of the traps. - The regulations involved in sustainability for the Maine lobsters and the retail process. - The tracking program and its essential purpose. Overall, what an incredibly hard job this can be in one day especially when the weather can be difficult and/or hazardous to fishing and trap maintenance. I really respect your efforts on choosing this hard job. I also appreciate you taking the time to share your knowledge and teaching us about the marine life in the North Atlantic and the lobster fishing industry. Thanks for this very informative video log Jacob. Peace and Blessings to you and to all your family and friends! ☮️💟👍🥰
Absolutely fascinating to watch your videos. Thanks so much for the work you put into filming and editing these videos. Stay safe out there and be well.
I love lobster and it is VERY GOOD to know their release survivablity is so high. Thanks for taking the time and effort to make these videos. They've given me a much deeper appreciation for what it takes to put a lobster on my plate.
I don't eat lobster and crab by choice, but I really Respect your family tradition in the industry. Thank you for educating us on sustainability and breeders, eggers etc!!🦞🦀💗
Captain Jacob, Thanks for taking your precious time to edit and post. I really enjoy the long videos and I take breaks for the shorts too. Prayers for your family and crew.
You’re so AMAZING & all of you are such hard workers :) I love you hand them a snack. So kind. What a lot of work you do & cooking traps adds to it. Stay safe & keep smiling & laughing
I'm from Winnipeg Canada and love everything outdoors. Unfortunately your style of outdoors is never something I've experienced first hand. Its super satisfying to see the "how they do that" style informative content you produce. I appreciate the love for your trade and the sustainability you and the boys practice. Been liking the shorts but definitely getting into these longer format further in depth episodes. Thanks man!
Not only are your videos entertaining, they are also informative which I really enjoy. I can see how hard you all work and your teamwork is amazing! Keep em coming… And thank you for sharing.. ❤️🦞
I love learning about the industry and lobsters in general. I've seen lobsters in FL while scuba diving but didn't know much about them. All of you stay safe.
Thoroughly enjoyable and educational video. It’s like the best of Discovery Channel with a host who makes us all care about the lobster fishery business. Please keep posting, Jacob!
Congrats on the million mark... and wish you guys all the success in the future. You bring back memories of my childhood down the cape with my gramps. Now I'm talking about the 60's so that dates me lol.. but his wooden traps would date my anyway lol... and then going clammin' at coast guard beach. Btw, I live in a town in ma. where the modern lobster trap was invented and see trailer loads heading out all the time. Best to you guys and stay safe out there, one of, if not, the most dangerous careers to have is working on the water✌️💚
Well done once again!!! 🙌🙌🙌 Never get tired of your channel and videos. Yussss, I encourage you to do more long videos. Growing up on the Texas Gulf coast and sailed many bodies of water, I recognize your respect for this industry and most likely preservation of all marine life. I imagine you maintain excellent safety practices. I don't worry about you and your crew, as I have lived through some very dicey ocean experiences with excellent, cautious and very skilled skippers. Keep up the fine work. ❤❤❤
Sure do enjoy your shorts and this longer one! You are fun, informative, unique approach, so positive with great energy! Great crew! Love to see all you do! Beautiful family too!
My dad’s family were shrimpers out of LA & TX- I spent one summer working on the Gulf 35 years ago… I can’t imagine the conditions y’all work through! I have learned so much from you and I am so happy to see the sustainable practices. Love the shorts and I look forward to your future long-form videos too!
Jacob, I actually Subscribed to your channel after watching a few of your TH-cam Shorts. It was the treat you give a released lobster that I thought was nice and cool. And now I’m a viewer because of it, and I’ve learned a lot about your profession thanks to you and your crew. And the treats. 👍😎🇺🇸. Stay Safe Folks!!!
I just started watching you not to long ago. I love to watch you and your crew an the sea creatures yall pull out of the water. Thank you for sharing with us .
Interesting, I didn't know you "cooked" the traps like that, makes sense tho. I hope the big storm didn't hurt you too much, I know y'all get bad weather up that way as it is but actual hurricanes aren't typical. I couldn't help but think of the movie Perfect Storm, stay safe guys, the ocean is an unforgiving lady
Loved this video very much. Super interesting to see step-by-step what you guys do and how hard you work so we can have delicious lobster. It’s really a dance that you guys do hauling them up picking the traps sliding them over cooking them, baiting them back over side. I enjoy all your shorts and now that’s really good long. So happy you found friends to help because it’s not an easy thing to do these videos. Much luck and I’m so glad the hurricane didn’t hit you guys hard. Living in South Florida. It’s a constant worry. Much love.
Glade you got back to port before the storm really hit. Interesting to hear about the tracking system of some of the lobsters and where they came from.😮❤❤❤
Hey Jacob, been following you for awhile now and I've got a question, compared to other Maine lobster fishermen, what size is your operation? Small, medium, large? And yes, you created a "thing" when you started the snack and release
Nice work on getting a sponsor! Watched it through for the support. Love what you guys do and envy the true hardworking lifestyle and family. Keep it up, it's only up from here!
It's probably weird but i think that weather up there is so beautiful. I'm from Texas and it's literally only sun and dryness over here, cloud cover and fog feels so cool whenever I see it. It's eerie and somber, but i rly enjoy that.
That's awesome with AG1! It's very popular and glad to see you promoting it because I'd love to use it, as I know the supplements I take with vitamins are a game changer! Out racing a storm is a trip! Three minutes slow will have it on you. People do not realize how dangerous the North Atlantic is and that Maine is the least populated State because the North North East weather is wicked. Alaska can't hold a candle to the North East! There are no Sea Lanes in the North Atlantic. Only the fantastic Fishermen from Maine and the North East. We thank you men SO MUCH for hauling our Seafoods and taking care of all the species of Fish you come upon. It's no joke. I swore I would NEVER touch a Fish again, with a Fish mongering background and I haven't! The sound of the cats crunching the bones are indelibly etched in my brain. For a time I worked st The Fulton Street Fish Market and never touched one. I tried and got physically ill and couldn't eat a STEAK after that!!! 😭🤣 Thank you for all your hard work and for sharing this life with us ❤ 😅
A couple questions Jacob, if I may: 1- can you even smell fish anymore? 2- are those a special type of fishing glove or just regular workman or gardner gloves that you wear? I LOVE how informative your videos are and that’s why I love to watch. You identify the type of fish(es) you catch and usually have a snippet or two of education about the fish. You taught us today about sand worms. I love to learn about things I’ve never got to experience in life, so I thank you for that bit. Last question. Do you catch the fish that you give as a treat or do you buy it on shore before you start? And what type of fish are those that you serve as treats? I very much appreciate and thank you for the humanitarian way that you do treat what you catch. Yeah, you toss your catch around quickly and a lot. With 400 traps, I’m sure you have to move quickly. But I appreciate that you remove barnacles before you send them back or offer them a treat and so forth. That’s what keeps me watching also. So I appreciate your appreciation and care for all life in the ocean.
Super excited to see some YT longs come out. Even the shorts are great to keep in touch. I'm sharing your channel w friends and fam. Thanks for featuring the other crew too.
I'm sorry Mr. Knowles...a bad day setting/cooking traps is still better than any day trapped in an office!!! I'm sure you're busy getting the cabins rental ready and running that side business as well, all on top of having a very young family...but I'm really grateful for your content bc even though I was born on the prairies, my heart will always belong to the sea. God bless...
Hey Jacob you should make a few videos showing people the basics of reading the bottom machine for setting trawls in good spots and how it works setting/hauling depending on which way the tides running, maybe some nasty snarls people would be mind boggled to see the snarls we deal with sometimes
You’re doing a great job producing quality short and long form content! This was really nice! The aerial drone footage and intro was top notch ❤you and your guys doing this are doing a great job 👏🏻 Lobstering looks miserable to me but you sound like you really enjoy it. ❤
I love your videos. I am from “away” but have a vacation home in Boothbay Harbor. I love your sharing of live in my favorite state. Maine is as close to heaven as I could ever be.
You're a good Captain, Jacob. It helps to express positivity to your crew under miserable conditions
The PR that you provide for all ethical fisherman is very valuable and hopefully you influence the not so good ones to do better like you.
Don’t believe the propaganda. The laws regarding commercial fishing are very strict.
@@madtabby66I don’t doubt this. I’d be interested to hear Jacob’s thoughts on the auditing/enforcement side of things
There isn’t to many crooked people out here really. Mostly honest guys wanting to make an honest living
Glad you survived the hurricane. Thanks for taking your precious time to post. Prayers for your family.
There was no hurricane Cathy
I grew up in Florida so I Know what you're going through when it comes to hurricanes!!! So, let her blow... Keep it up, Jacob...
Y’all are amazing. Keep showing the world how “it would be nice to work on a boat,” is nonsense. You and your crew work harder than 97% of the rest of the planet. Thank you from a landlubber Mainer. Also, thanks for feeding the non-keepers!!
Excited to see more of the whole process. I enjoy the shorts, but love longer videos!
Always glad to see new content but never more than after a hurricane! Lots of prayers offered on Maine’s behalf. Many Blessings!
We didn’t get much wind at all from that storm
Love the long form. Also love the shorts too. The claw spa is hilarious, I actually watch a lot of animal channels. I never knew how much I'd enjoy learning about different industries. Tom Pemberton, Pemberton Farms. Dairy cows, farming. Also the hoofgp. Who knew how fascinating watching cows get their hoofs trimmed would be. So much love goes into the animals well being. How every effort goes into the animal's health is taken care of. You've got something special here Jacob. I look forward to watching.
I also watch the HoofGP and Morgan Gold of Gold Shaw Farms in Vermont. Morgan is a really personable former city boy who started with fruit/nut trees, ducks and geese. He got chickens once he realized he couldn't eat waterfowl eggs and got a livestock guardian dogs and barn cats once he realized he needed them. He's expanded to add bees, Highland cows and tried raising a few pigs this year. He's thinking about trying sheep next year "Never goats", but not sure about continuing pigs. He likes how they cleared some land for him, but doesn't want to breed them like he does his other animals. He likes being a small-ish farmer with variety and the cycle of how different animals revive the land. He's also limited on how he can sell his livestock products due to Vermont/Federal food processing laws.
Farmers / ranchers are awesome people!! Jacob and his family farm / ranch the sea for lobsters. We farmed / ranched the prairie of So Dak. When I was a kid we sold eggs to buy groceries. The egg boxes ( 30 doz ) went in the in door and by the time you had. Shopped the eggs were candled and checked and the tab was waiting at the checkout.

Farming/ ranching is the only business I know of where you invest your $$ never knowing what you will be able to get for your product at harvest. Jacob invests in equipment and diesel whether he gets a large number of lobsters or just 1 or 2. Thank You Jacob for conserving the resources of the Atlantic. ❤
We have similar tastes! Love this channel and the hoof doctor too!
No way I'm watching Cow videos. They taste way too good to risk the chance I'll stop eating them. I'll wait until my diet is mostly pudding, when the downside risk is lower, to start watching cows.
I feel the same way! love the hoof gp and now I’m obsessed with lobsters and The claw spa!
These long videos really help in understanding what it takes to be a lobster fisherman in Maine. Thanks for posting. Keep safe out there fellas.
Man, that opener is chilling. Really puts us, the viewers in the mindset of how dangerous this job can get, and just how at the mercy of the elements you guys really are.
I normally skip sponsors but for Jacob, I will watch every single one.
I agree!
Just skip he already got paid
Yeah its great to see him become more popular.
Sponsors are for the most part how a TH-camr can make money. It just depends on if Jacob will consider offers from companies. Not all are legit A lot of work goes into vetting a contract. However I'd like to see some good come his way. Any kind of gear or tools. No one complains about NASCAR drivers or football players doing endorsements.
This is the first time I saw he had a sponsor, I did a little cheer for him. These guys deserve it!
Thank you, Jacob.
Your videos are getting better, & better. ✅
Y'all are hard workers!
Have a great week. ✅
Its not all claw spa and road snacks. You're very good at showing us a little bit of your world! Thank you, your crew, and your family ❤
Excellent informative videos. As someone who spent a summer as a stern man on a boat in Casco bay, I can honestly say that you are “the real deal”. Longer videos would be appreciated. Great job!
Only advertisement I sit through and actually enjoy, man works hard and has a pretty nice side gig that goes along with it. Much respect, cheers!

Absolutely fascinating to watch your videos. Thanks so much for the work you put into filming and editing these videos. Stay safe out there and be well.
I love that cinematography in the beginning. I felt like I was about to watch some Hollywood horror/suspense movie.
So relieved you guys made it and are safe.🙏
I love lobster and it is VERY GOOD to know their release survivablity is so high. Thanks for taking the time and effort to make these videos. They've given me a much deeper appreciation for what it takes to put a lobster on my plate.
What is it that i watch lobbster videos and shorts evry time? Im still not bored, that is astonishing for me! Thank you guys 👍

love the longer videos, brings back memories of the seasonal work I did as a young man in New England on lobster boats & in Sugar houses ❤❤
Awesome! Thanks for showing how you cook the traps.
Thoroughly enjoyable and educational video. It’s like the best of Discovery Channel with a host who makes us all care about the lobster fishery business. Please keep posting, Jacob!
This was really interesting! Glad you guys made it home safe and sound ahead of the storm. And congratulations on your sponsor AG one!
Pretty cool.
Liked the drone footage showing clouds and all.
The ropes seem like a job to keep from tangling up to me.
You always give them a snack before you release them. That makes me smile. 😊

It’s great to see other ways of lobster fishing.
I love 5 to 10 min videos! So many are 15 to 45 mins. I rarely have time for those.
I pray that God keeps all of you fisherman safe. I love your channel. God bless all.
Your vids are amazing!!! Thank you for your time. Love the idea of calling someone to find out where a lobster has been.

So happy you found friends to help because it’s not an easy thing to do these videos. Much luck and I’m so glad the hurricane didn’t hit you guys hard. Living in South Florida. It’s a constant worry. Much love.
Glade you got back to port before the storm really hit. Interesting to hear about the tracking system of some of the lobsters and where they came from.😮❤❤❤
I'm so glad i subscribed to this channel.
Being from New England i learned so much from this channel.👍
Hey Jacob, been following you for awhile now and I've got a question, compared to other Maine lobster fishermen, what size is your operation? Small, medium, large? And yes, you created a "thing" when you started the snack and release
Most guys fish all 800 traps and have mid 30 to mid 40’ boats nowadays
Love you put out a long form video. Awesome to see how y’all work together. Please keep the videos coming
Glad to hear you'll keep doing more long videos. Love these longer videos on the boat!
You are so awesome Jacob. I have a whole new respect for lobster fishing.
Love watching you guys!! Always interesting and sometimes humorous. Congratulations to all, beautiful little girl ❤❤❤
Nice work on getting a sponsor! Watched it through for the support. Love what you guys do and envy the true hardworking lifestyle and family. Keep it up, it's only up from here!
I love your shorts and I’m loving the longer videos more !! The ocean is so beautiful thank you for the videos also please be safe out there!
So glad you didn't get womped on to baddly.
My Family in Scituate MA said the harsh of it missed them 👍.
Thanks for the Video!

It's probably weird but i think that weather up there is so beautiful. I'm from Texas and it's literally only sun and dryness over here, cloud cover and fog feels so cool whenever I see it. It's eerie and somber, but i rly enjoy that.
Storm sure was something! Shame about the Eden Star, lot of other boats. Glad to see yours is alright though.
That's awesome with AG1! It's very popular and glad to see you promoting it because I'd love to use it, as I know the supplements I take with vitamins are a game changer!
Out racing a storm is a trip! Three minutes slow will have it on you. People do not realize how dangerous the North Atlantic is and that Maine is the least populated State because the North North East weather is wicked. Alaska can't hold a candle to the North East! There are no Sea Lanes in the North Atlantic. Only the fantastic Fishermen from Maine and the North East. We thank you men SO MUCH for hauling our Seafoods and taking care of all the species of Fish you come upon. It's no joke. I swore I would NEVER touch a Fish again, with a Fish mongering background and I haven't! The sound of the cats crunching the bones are indelibly etched in my brain. For a time I worked st The Fulton Street Fish Market and never touched one. I tried and got physically ill and couldn't eat a STEAK after that!!! 😭🤣
Thank you for all your hard work and for sharing this life with us ❤ 😅
A couple questions Jacob, if I may:
1- can you even smell fish anymore?
2- are those a special type of fishing glove or just regular workman or gardner gloves that you wear?
I LOVE how informative your videos are and that’s why I love to watch. You identify the type of fish(es) you catch and usually have a snippet or two of education about the fish. You taught us today about sand worms. I love to learn about things I’ve never got to experience in life, so I thank you for that bit.
Last question. Do you catch the fish that you give as a treat or do you buy it on shore before you start? And what type of fish are those that you serve as treats?
I very much appreciate and thank you for the humanitarian way that you do treat what you catch. Yeah, you toss your catch around quickly and a lot. With 400 traps, I’m sure you have to move quickly. But I appreciate that you remove barnacles before you send them back or offer them a treat and so forth. That’s what keeps me watching also. So I appreciate your appreciation and care for all life in the ocean.
You’re a phenomenal Captain Jacob, keep up the great work and you’re a great DAD as well. God Bless.❤
Super excited to see some YT longs come out. Even the shorts are great to keep in touch.
I'm sharing your channel w friends and fam. Thanks for featuring the other crew too.
I love your videos, long or short. You have my admiration and gratitude. That's a tough job. 👍
loved this format and i'm glad to see you guy's are okay after that storm
Love your shorts, but these long videos are my faves 🦞
I'm sorry Mr. Knowles...a bad day setting/cooking traps is still better than any day trapped in an office!!! I'm sure you're busy getting the cabins rental ready and running that side business as well, all on top of having a very young family...but I'm really grateful for your content bc even though I was born on the prairies, my heart will always belong to the sea. God bless...
Love seeing the extra sea life you catch, as well as the lobsters 🐠🐡🍤🐟
Love watching you. You are a good person. Thank you for making your videos. I have learned so much.
STAY SAFE OUT THERE CAPTAIN JACOB!
Hi Jacob! Love your educational videos! Keep up the awesome work you do!
Hey Jacob you should make a few videos showing people the basics of reading the bottom machine for setting trawls in good spots and how it works setting/hauling depending on which way the tides running, maybe some nasty snarls people would be mind boggled to see the snarls we deal with sometimes
i could watch this guy do this for hours haha!
I love when he gives lobsters a snack! So cute!
what great cinematography
You’re doing a great job producing quality short and long form content! This was really nice! The aerial drone footage and intro was top notch ❤you and your guys doing this are doing a great job 👏🏻
Lobstering looks miserable to me but you sound like you really enjoy it. ❤
I love your videos. I am from “away” but have a vacation home in Boothbay Harbor. I love your sharing of live in my favorite state. Maine is as close to heaven as I could ever be.
UK here! Love waking up to a new video of yours! A long one as well!
Your videos always make me hungry for seafood 🧡🦞🧡
God bless you all ❤️🇺🇸❤️
I love that you give them snacks ❤
