The reason I haven't started crabbing yet this season is because of the amount of work that still needs to be done. I have over 1000 crab pots that need to be painted, crab line buoys that need to be built, and a trailer that needs fixing. I'm only a few short weeks away from dropping crab pots, but there is still a ton that needs to be done!

I love your novelty buoys, Dude! Screw em. Youre an American, and a better American than 95% of this country! 🤘🤘 sick video like always.
99 percent from my experience
Every time he mentions his Asian heritage it is a little jarring for me because I really have to look hard to see it... Definitely 100% American, but should be proud about his family roots though also...
@@ZachSwena you have to look hard to see his Asian heritage? Are you a human being with eyes, or you think he’s just lying?
Honestly I thought he was native American kinda shocked when he said he was Asian. Definitely more American than these numbnuts who hate our wonderful country.
So I was medically retired from the Army. Even though I’m broken I can still do some things. I would be willing to volunteer some time to help you out with anything I can within my limitations. No pay, just free volunteer time. I live down in Waldorf in Charles county. This is my last week of college for the spring semester so I’ll be available until the kids get out of school in June.
nice of you to offer. I'm across the river in Calvert County, along the bay. Thanks for your service. i was in for 10 years, worked for the gubment for 40 and retired finally about 18 months ago.
Thank you, both and everyone who serves/served
Thank you men. Happy Military appreciation month.
Free fresh crabs would be great,
@@johnniemayfield9510 eh, I have a recreational license and me and my son go out and catch a bushel a couple of times a year.
Just a little farmer tip for ya. For a trailer that doesn’t move a lot take and tap your dust caps for a grease zerk fitting and just pump them babies full of grease.
You know that's brilliant, never would have thought of it, but I'm doing it. Thanks from Maine!
They make buddy bearing that take the place of the hug caps
@@jesseward4296 yea if I was going down the road a lot that is what I’d use. But for something that doesn’t get used all the time tap and drill bit is cheaper
Sad that even up there some jerks are trying to get rid of new crabbers. I’m in Alabama and my uncle wanted to just crab as a retired old man. He had 20 pots maybe. His buoys got cut and lost all his pots. Who does stuff like that? People think they own the water. Good for you keeping those messages as a reminder to keep doing what you do. You’re a huge success. And God definitely will deal with them. Hopefully their hearts will change.
Oh I was so happy that your wife brought you coffee. She’s a good woman. You are definitely blessed.
FYI the black pots look great. ❤
That sucks! That poor guy.
@@KelseyDrummer it really took the wind outta his sails. He just wanted to get enough for a backyard boil with friends. Fear really messes with people. Those commercial guys must feel a lot of pressure to make money. Obviously there’s a lot of cost in it as well. Who knows. I recently had my own moment of fear regarding $15 and being petty about it. I’m smacking myself now because I really was all about fear and not trusting God. Oh well. Glad I’m feeling convicted and will watch out for that greedy monster inside me. 🙏🏻
Regs are limiting seasons left and right. Climate change (whether you think it is man made or not) is really leading to yield problems when combined with all of their other pressures. Overfishing, pollution, sediment run off in the case of the Chesaepeke, etc. We had one of the lowest spawns of Strippers ever so they shut down the charters and commercial is in the future. As something like only 50% of fish caught from commercial end up on a plate.
Bro just casually brushes off bullying and racism. It’s sad but his inspirational mentality is fantastic. I’m so glad he has so many great friends as well as an extremely supportive wife. Keep up the grind and the great content.
Ya it’s pretty sad… I could figure out why someone would be saying “go back to china”. Five min later it hit me, he is of Asian descent. We have got to get away from looking at person’s race.
Because he is smart enough to realize that it can't hurt him if he doesn't let it and standing around shouting and complaining only makes it worse by letting those idiots know they are winning. A lesson that would tremendously change millions of lives if people would listen instead of spewing forth stupidity in search of attention. It only gets the wrong kind of attention.
@@InternationalAcres I've never met an intelligent racist.
Best way to handle it. Guys who write that stuff are just like barking dogs behind a fence. Open the fence and they get quiet.
dog those tires are sketchy
Whoever you were talking to while making the hawks is such a unit. Having someone who is older and experienced to give you introspection on your life so can succeed is invaluable. Keep it up lukey you’re going to have a great season !
I think it is the guy who own the Marina. He was the one helping him fill the cracks in the new crab stand.
The conversation between them two hit home with me hard.
It was the realist conversation between to dudes that understand, acknowledge and accept the thoughts, feelings and life choices.
This type of conversation is what most of us are missing in our life’s.
@@nanate8190 It only takes you selling your morals up the river to see every helping hand as something to be exploited for profit. Hard thing for a lot of people to get around in life and it's why so few people are good at business.
Death by a thousand paper clips actually sounds much worse than by paper cuts. It’s now in my vocabulary! Thank you, Luke, for adding to the American lexicon!
Your supposed to pack the grease into the bearing through opening in the side with the larger diameter and you keep packing it until it comes out the side with the smaller diameter that’s how you when it’s full of grease
Cam3 here for this
Also was going to say that, but I figured someone beat me too it.
Luke I just wanna say thank you, thank you for bringing us along on your journey your crazy busy and we understand and hopefully we all appreciate you spending the extra time to pick up your camera and take us along for the ride
I enjoy your videos , it was just a few weeks ago you mentioned you were Korean.
Up till then i just thought you were a young baby faced guy. 😅. With a super model wife 😊.
Today when you showed the bouys with the slurs and cursing it angered and blessed me. You have the can do persevering attitude that makes America great. You work circles around most of us.
Thanks for sharing your life with us.
True story. Asian descent or not, still a 100% American. People should go play a game of "hide and go f**k yourself*!
That last scene of you trying to open the Tundra hood was priceless dude...thanks for all the videos and for being a productive human being. You inspire the rest of us to work hard too.
You're such an ambitious, likeable guy. I think everyone who follows you wants you to succeed. I love how you're open and honest about your anexity but what impresses me the most is that you don't let it hold you back. We believe in you, you got this!
I’m a thousand miles from the ocean, and never ate crab, but what you do is interesting. It parallels a lot of the ag industry. When it’s go time it’s go time. Any other time is spent in preparation, up keep, and improvements.
You'd love md crabs. As long as you're not allergic to shell fish. That would not be a good day
I'm still so impressed with the fact that there is no beeps for foul language. 3 young men and you could have your your kids watch with no fear of what they might hear.
"Grab a few different flavors of hammer" my new favorite quote🤣
Adding "Death by a thousand paper clips"
18:25 Thank you Luke. Your dedication gives me an escape from my world for a bit. I am a trucker and I only go home 4 times a year to see family. Your videos make me smile and gives me an escape.
You are lucky to have your older friend at the Marina. Someone with knowledge and understanding of your life is a priceless treasure.
You are doing great. The guys who are writing bad things on your stuff are jealous!!!!
I started my own business had 4 full time employees for 20 years , now I’m slowing down.
Put in the hard work and you will succeed!!!!!!
pack the bearings from the side, you will know when it packed all the way when it squeezes out the other end. pack on the large side, as a mechanic this is the best way to do it without a bearing packer. keep up the hard work
The thing is Luke, none of those critics (flag scribblers) have thousands of people interested in what you do. We watch YOU because we like you. Keep up the great content.
“Like” is a strong word. I watch for the tool tutorials.
@michaelalbert8474 what tool tutorial? The second hand self made stuff he uses? Gtfoh. This guy is way more "liked" you than ever were.
@@MikeH44
You should watch a couple of his videos. His use of “hammers” is incredible.
I would be disappointed you don’t like me except I know you don’t know me. Hopefully, that won’t change.
Watching you paint all those zincs you spent all the money on is killing me
I was thinking the same exact thing😅😅😅
I was saying same thing like now they won't work
I came to the coments to check on the zink comments
Same
That being said. They wont rust until the paint is gone. And electrolysis is a funny thing. As long as the zinc is directly contacting the metal it will work. Covering them both shouldnt be bad
Get your pvc at a plumbing or HVAC supply house, and it will cost less and be far less likely to be old and brittle, as it has a much higher turnover there.
"I keep this as a reminder... Screw'em"
Fucking wise words right there.
You're the most relaxing and wholesome channel bro (and I get bored very easily). I really appreciate you! Look forward to every new episode.
Love your attitude towards those “special” hawks.
You are “Eating the elephant” one crab pot at a time. Paint, hawks, bearings, and everything else it all gets you ready for the season. Go get those crabs 🦀 Luke!
Wow! I did commercial salmon fishing in the early 70s, and I thought it was labor intensive! I stopped fishing and went to work doing "repo" commercial fishing vessels and taking them back up to Seattle Washington. The pay was great, there was no labor, and I just had to navigate through big winter storms, which could be quite the adventure! Dangerously so! I never realized how much labor went into crabbing.
Kudos to you, Luke, for following your dreams! 🤙
You guys are what make USA the best. Hard working young men and the supportive wife. Let’s remember the women behind these men. Live free men
The videos keep getting better every week, your work ethic is amazing. Good luck for the start of crabbing season!
i love listening to your guys comraderies despite not being a fisherman / crabber, myself. Its funny what people in different trades like to joke, rant, complain, and dream about when around people in the same field of work. Im a stainless TIG welder out of Pasadena/Edgewater MD, and do a lot of PC work as well, so if you ever need anything, try to find my comment- would love to help you grow more or help you out if you needed a favor!
Also, my brother runs a custom apparel place out of Bmore if you ever need ANY merch made!- they can do basically everything you can possibly think of
Outstanding Video Luke. Everyone watching is proud of you.
Luke, You have my respect and admiration for your work ethic and sense of humor. Thanks for sharing with us. I hate to nitpick, but you forgot to put the inner wheel bearing seal in the hub. The bearing won't last long without seals. for now, put a grease zerk in the bearing cap and just pack that puppy full of grease. That will be good enough for a while. Good on ya mate!
Looking forward to this season can’t wait for next episode. Your work ethic is off the charts!!! Thank you
So here I am recovering from surgery and for entertainment instead of watching Netflix I decided to enjoy this channel.
Easy way to put the tire back on that type of axles is leave 2 bolts with the keepers in close to each other but loose them hang the tire. As for tightening them the best way I’ve found is when you look at it the spokes make a “v” tighten those 2 first and directly below the “v” tighten it first then the last 2 bolts. Those types of axles are used for mobile homes
Good tip!
I love your videos. Your "get it done, whatever it takes attitude is something missing nowadays in far too many folks. You earned your spot guy. Your determination to succeed, whatever it takes, is very admirable. Keep on pushing Luke. YOU are a perfect example of the true American sprit!
Love the video! Here is a tip: Just keep going until you get everything done........then try to figure out what you forgot to do! Have a great weekend and season!!!
You're my hero, the last 5 minutes is a page straight out of my screen play!
Yeah...I'ma dork/geek - @ 13:20 - love the heavy drop cord for your saw. VERY commonly overlooked method of not wasting time...fewer breaker resets, less wear on the tool...all that stuff! Keep up the great content, @Luke McFadden!
Your "Grind a little harder." attitude when someone tells you to "go home" is what makes you a True American! Good on you. Thank you for the video!
Thanks for the show Luke 🍻
Love hearing you and your buddy talk, that is amazing Luke definitely keep those chats in the video 😉
Great video Luke. So much work and you make it look easier than it really is.
Luke.you’re doing a great job . Thanks for making videos. Very informative and entertaining. 👍
My best friend was a commercial crabber here, he moved to Snead's Ferry NC and they only have to take their pots out of the water down there in January. Not to mention the cost of living down there is way cheaper!
Keep grinding, hustling, make that money brother
Always
As someone who is retired at 55. You'll make it. You have the drive and passion to make it work. Find your way to push through and but also when to pivot.
Luke, you are awesome! I hope you have the best ever crabbing season.
Man, you are one of a few TH-cam content Masters. I love your videos, keep up the good work.😊
Love the channel! Keep up the grind! Pro tip on bearing grease: dab a bunch of grease on your palm, slap the bearing on edge into the grease. It will force it through the race and cage. Works great!
LOL! "Not so much a question". I Love this kid! Outstanding!
Hey Luke , keep after it . I started watching 4 weeks ago and I am going to keep following you . Keep your head up .
Love to watch your videos. Good luck crabbing this year Luke. I’ll be sure to make my way up to your new boat crab shack to buy some crabs this year. GET TO WORK!
Your a very talented young man. You can fix it all. Not many ppl around that can do that.
Your a hard worker.
I wish you luck you can start your crabbing season soon.
Crazy operation. Good stuff
A tip for staying organized when you are busy and get easily distracted. Keep sticky notes in your truck and write stuff down at the end of the week if you didnt get all that stuff done prioritize it in a list. Im just like you and that helps me alot!
When doing vinyl siding, we cut it with a reversed circular saw blade. Try and run your drill in reverse so as to melt your way through the PVC. It's worth a try.
Bradpoint drill bits work good on plastic same with step bits.
Definitely glad you are on TH-cam and love your channel and your attitude!
Love your videos! You are very entertaining! Hope you have a amazing crab season! 🦀 🦀🦀
💯 all the way Luke!
I use 5 gallon buckets for basic tools. Keep a couple of buckets around with an assortment of basic tools of the trade. Drill some small hole in the bottom to let out tain water. Spray it down with some WD40 on occasion for rust prevention.
These last two longer videos are 🔥🔥
you have me vested, I always feel like im pulling for you as the guy who cant win at anything, but stays positive. You really could have your own reality show, and id watch it
Keep up the awesome content bro. I wait every week for your upload
Don't know if anyone has said or not, if so over look it.
That axle set up is what is known as dayton hubs. Dayton hubs are stronger, but scare a lot of people off since they can be dangerous since tires do fall off if stuff isn't checked. But perfect for what you need.
That being said an old farmers trick of tightening them up, sit a drink can on the ground at the bottom sidewall edge of the tire and spin it and slowly tighten the lugs all the way around. If it hits you have one side further out and it will wobble going down the road.
I do love how you call everything a hammer.
I follow you on tiktok (originally) but am glad you have been putting out youtube content. I prefer your youtube content. Thanks for the entertainment. Keep grinding man.
Keep moving forward, you’ve got this
Your editing is top notch!
When I look at you I don't see race. I see a smart driven individual trying to make it in this world. I don't know how old you are but you seem like my kind of guy. I really do hope the very best for you and your new bride. And if I live closer I would be more than grateful to donate some of my time to you. And that's just because I only surround myself with intelligent individuals.
I think I get why you run your own business and don't work as just a crab fisherman, and it's not just because of the money. You know you can make the decisions that will improve you and your crew's success and grow your business. That's a harder battle and not as worth it when you're just a number working on a crew. Please keep doing what you're doing. The world needs more leaders who get their hands dirty, help each other, and know that we should be working towards the same goal together. This applies to everything in life. Love seeing your ingenuity, engineering, and accidental multitasking. From an IT analyst with a mechanical engineering degree :)
I just found you, and I can say I'll be starting from the beginning love the content man!
Wow! Great video. You two make an amazing couple. Enjoy life. Keep smiling and best wishes.
I really wish for you a 46 foot Markley! Have a great season!
Fair Winds all…..
I’ve recently found this channel and immediately sub’d then watched every upload. Now, I regret that because I find myself wanting to see what’s next 😂
Keep moving forward Luke I’m buying from you this year 💯
great work but i may recommend doing some of that over winter to lighten your work load in the spring keep maintenance going all year
You have to be ready whenever it's time to go good luck with your season young man you dam sure put the work in😊
Man… you and your crew are doing work! Good to see the younger generation working so hard! Get it bro! Let me get some crabs!
Its a free country for now. Had me rolln. U said that so smooth and slipped in flawlessly.
Luke you need to sell your crabs threw local CSA's. Community Supported Agriculture. CSA's are a great way to support your local small farmers while getting real, local food produced by people that don't hate you like the government does.
Your videos are great! Keep it up!
Keep grinding kiddo!! You belong here!!
Luke I like your work ethic, I to am a fixer of all things, My family and I appreciate your positive never give up drive! Keep at it, thanks for the videos.
Those paperclips will get you every time! Keep up the great work!
We used to build boat docks. The bottom was painted with aluminum oxide primer then covered in cold tar. We painted the top with Imron until the EPA made that stuff illegal (with good reason).
Bubba.. You had me cracking up. Lol. Keep on doing what you are doing. You seem like a hard worker and funny as hell. You are a true American. Don’t let others try to put you down. There are some ruthless assholes out there. Good luck with your crab fishing.
One major problem. You should have installed the bearing into the hub and installed a grease seal. Love your video's. Keep up the good work.😊
Awesome script Luke - give those writers a raise, baby!
One thing that will hugely help you out and make things easier, invest in a tool box for the boat, the home, the truck, storage lot, not having to track down tools and having everything you need in a moments notice is honestly a game changer
Definitely! Exactly the same setup of tools in each box/bag. Heck you probably have 2-3 sets of most things laying around already, scattered around. Ask one of your deckhands or your wife to organize this project. Learning to delegate is the toughest part of learning to be a leader. And delegation is also one of the signs of an effective leader.
They arent running heavy up here in North Carolina,,,yet !!. Lol ..last year crab house stopped selling by the bushell...and tried charging 45$ a damn dozen !!.. of #3s!!.. CRAZY !!.. hooe you have a good year
You should make Death By A Thousand Paperclips onto a t-shirt
You’ll be stronger this year, don’t worry and grind away
Great video as always
On the grease cap on the trailer wheel I recommend adding grease in the cap that way keeps little extra grease in there
You are an amazing young man. God Bless you and yours and help you along the way.
That's how we make our Gill net buoys in va .. works amazing good job brother
Another solid video!
Lil tip Take a fine grit, sandpaper Sand your spendel We'll make it a lot easier to slide bearings on.
Don’t worry Luke, you’ll get it all done before the crabs show up. The scenes with the truck hood brought tears to my eyes I was laughing so hard. Try looking in the middle of the hood, use a flat head screwdriver and pop the latch, hoods open…😂😂😂
So awesome that you’re not afraid to do anything and always learn from your mistakes. I tell my kids this just about everyday your not going to learn if you don’t try
14:00 - UniBit (aka Step Bit) - absolute best for drilling PVC, hands down. Have drilled many thousands of holes with these - hardly ever chip, don't pull up onto the bit, good stuff - a little pricy but WELL worth the investment in time saving...
