The fact that you must be an owner-operator in the industry, ensuring the competition necessary for leveling the playing field, is wonderful. Lobster fishers have a merit-based system, which ensures that both the lobsters continue and that the fairest workers win a good living.
In the state of new south Wales in Australia the Dept of primary industries forced all the small commercial fishers out in favour of large companies, easy for the DPI to regulate or so they say. Government shitting on the working guy again
Thank you for showing us the 'not fun' part. Kind of like my old job of hose testing every piece of hose that the fire department owned each year. Wasn't much fun - lay it all out - fill it with water and pressure test it. Then reload it or roll it back up. Never fun but it must get down. Take care / hope the crew / family and you are doing well.
You can look at it like that I guess. Or say I'm responsible for them bein ready to work 100% when they need them. They damn well are. Those fire fighters are brave but they trust me for their equipment to work. I have their back and I am overworked, underpaid, treated Luke shit but I roll hoses so they can unroll them. I'm a cog in a crew that is highly trained and when told to jump we don't say "how hi." We say when can we come down.😮..... got a newsletter have to employ 20% women. Carry bloke over her shoulder down a burning building. They couldn't get anyone. So look who's holding the stop/slow lollipops. Not the blokes no. There should be a gender lollipop movement.
Why get laughed at for holding a stop sign after shovelling roa D metal for 40 minutes. Give her some gloves " I am just pointing out the riddiculous: 1 shovel not even full..... is this legal? I have RSI.
I've never fished, but I farmed for a few years when I was younger. I'm feeling some real nostalgia for those "someone's just gotta get it done" days watching this, I didn't think I'd miss those sorts of days as much as I do
Little by little you are l creating and leaving a documented legacy of Lobster fishing and the Maine Lobster Industry in the early years of the 21st century. This is a brilliant work and something you, and your men should be proud of. Alej
I knew some lobstermen a long time ago. The last thing they want is for a bunch of nubes onboard to muck things up. Unless you're willing to pay A LOT and he's planning on only doing a hundred or so traps. Other than that, if he's got to do hundreds in a day then get our of the way or stay on shore.
- Thanks for making this video to see how you fix the traps. I was hoping after your last video you guys *would* make this video. I'm glad to see this.
I really like how you not only explain and educate but you show us in real time the tools and even the process of things you do as a lobster fisherman. These videos honestly make me come back and rewatch them, simply because its so cool.
Just an idea: work with an artist to mark some merch with those old wood runners. Make some resin wood keychains, magnets, etc. The bore holes would make some really cool looking resin wood art!
Agreed. Some of the old battleship museums like the U.S.S. Massachusetts and U.S.S. New Jersey sell their old teak deck planks that would otherwise be thrown away. But people buy them and make plaques or other memorabelia.
❤ your channel. I’m the granddaughter of a Newfoundland fisherman, who grew up and worked in New Brunswick 🇨🇦. I remember my sister and I as kids visiting my grandparents in Newfoundland and listening in the early morning as my grandfather and uncles getting ready to head out in the morning. That wasn’t yesterday, I’m in my 60’s. ❤ for all the hard work you guys do
I and my wife Anna think your videos where you care for the released lobsters are the coolest. I love that you are so ethical and caring for the creatures you encounter. Especially those little birds that you revive then release after ferrying them back to shore. I and Anna are convinced that the Fish Gods will smile upon you and provide good lobstering for you and your future family. Thank you for the cool videos!
Amazing to see the maintenance & what it actually takes to put lobster on our tables! Eyes wide open, thank you Jacob & Crew! Careful out there from Michigan!💝😊
Maine was my favorite state on the eastern seaboard, beautiful countryside and great food. I remember buying lobster tails for 6 dollars a pound steamed at a restaurant 25 years ago.
You know something Jacob I'm not even a big fan of lobster but if someone asks me if I want lobster I'm asking if it's Maine lobster because i now know in some capacity what it takes to catch one. What you do is exactly what this world needs to keep conservation realistic and viable and I admire your determination and flexibility in adapting to what's in front of you. I know that the old ways work best but sometimes you need to change your ways for a changing world and you and your crew exemplify that with ease. Good health, good fishing and good luck to you my friend.
Totally awesome to see the "not so fun part" behind the scenes of lobster fishing. Now I just want to spend the day lobster fishing on your boat with you guys. Thanks for the great video.
I grew up in Brunswick, Maine, around Orr's and Bailey's Island. Grew up loving seafood and of course lobsters are my favorite. Clams and crabs run a close second. Fish too , just all seafood except escargot, can't do snails. I married a navy man from Philadelphia and we used to do crabbing in New Jersey. I caught a 3ft sand shark and took it home and cooked 'er up. I now live in Northeastern Connecticut and miss being around the sea . There's little chance around here to go clamming or crabbing and if we want lobster we have to go to the supermarket. Very costly. Love your channel it brings me back to my home and ❤️
We went to Maine several summers in the early 70's. Dad befriended a crusty old lobster man in Islesboro, who took him, my brother and me out for a run one day. We couldn't touch anything to help - that would be illegal. Old style traps of course - antiques now. Mom paid $1.00 for a bucket of crabs; she was willing to pick them to make her salad. After the first few, we had to pick our own if we wanted any ... We were less enthused than she, so most of the crabs were hers. She even went back to buy a second bucket. Dad and I spent more of our energy clamming, gathering mussels and periwinkles, and sea spinach. Dad and brother went dogfish fishing. There were sea urchins all over the place - we weren't aware they were edible then. I really wanna go back to Maine!
@@tanikokishimoto1604 I grew up eating buckets of periwinkle’s when I was a kid in England. We’d sit outside around the galvanized bucket and pick them out of their shells with a pin, dunk them in malt vinegar and eat them.. Good memories. I’ve only had periwinkles once since being in the U.S. and those were in a Chinese restaurant and in a sauce. They were nowhere near as good as the simple ones I remember from childhood .. (and I loooove most Chinese food. The same place made some awesome crabs served upon a newspaper covered table ;))
I once dated a guy whose sister lived in Maine. I was looking forward to visiting Maine (not so much her--all she ever did was glare at me, never even said hi to me once) and eating all the Maine seafood. Unfortunately we ended up splitting up before that happened.
I find this channel really helpful. It shows incite in to a work I would not have even know, but shows the ideas and as an industrial design major seeing this gives me ideas how to help. More people in industry doing this would help us as a community to help and work together.
Once I realized my mother was screwing up cooking fish. As an adult I know love seafood more than ever. Lobster and crab or my 2 favorites. Halibut and trout are my favorite fish. And now finding your channel and learning all this interesting sea life,great internet.
Like you said about the rules stopping fleets forming i also like that it keeps the bosses boots dirty and hands calloused which in my experience helps to keep the work environment a little friendlier and understanding
Your TH-cam gives a new insight to how the lobster industry works. Makes (only cuz I have a limited income) me feel better about the price of a lobster dinner or roll (though it's been years).
As someone that grew up crabbing in the Delaware Bay, maintaining our 50 or something traps at the beginning of the season was by far the worst part of the summer. This brought back (horrible) memories. Thanks!
My dad's side of the family is from Maine, and my grandpa is still a lobster fisherman, so this is really a great way for me to connect with a part of my family that's 24 hours up the east coast.
I imagine it can also be a dangerous job at times. It’s certainly hard work. The emphasis on small business run and owned is impressive. When I was a kid I became fascinated by fishing boats and read everything I could find in our local small library…mostly historical stuff and mostly fiction, lol. I would have loved something like your videos…but in 50s and 60 that would have an unusual show!
I really enjoy hearing about all the things you do as responsible farmers of the sea. Notching the egg producers to protect them releasing the biggest males to help with maintaining the lobster population and the cages that "Open up" after time to prevent lost traps to become traps that just kill animals needlessly. Such a smart way to work and be. Excellent!
Thanks for taking us along I live in Maine and its great to learn about the fishery and how hard you all work best of luck fishing ! Discovery is gonna be knocking at your door to do a show you are a natural in front of the camera well done .
Your videos make me miss Maine (currently live in Alaska). Its so cool to see you promoting Maine and the lobster industry. Maine is such a special and beautiful place.
Jacob, in the future, try stacking your washers and run 1/16th" (.0625) pilot holes; you'll, or whoever is driving the screws (self tapping) be glad you did (make sure you use a backer to run the tip into)
I think next to farming you have the most beautiful and hard job in this country. Thank you for doing your videos. They are a wonderful insight to an industry we in the Midwest probably don't even give a thought.
Boat Builders in some cases use high-density polyethylene for framing. That could be a lower cost runner if you can find another way to give some weight.

Thank you for showing us the less exciting parts of lobster fishing, it was so interesting to learn something new. I hope you have an easier time getting the rest done. Happy fishing! ❤
Great behind the scenes, getting a look see into the nuts and bolts so to speak of an industry rarely seen. Very educational. "It iis what it is" nothing to do but push through: good thoughts there. Wishing you and your team continued success.
I knew it couldn't all be fun and games, but your great attitude lightens the load.😊 Hope the extra weight on the traps doesn't make hauling them up every day too tiring.😕 You're a great leader and mate!🫡
It looks like you have a great job your the sole director of your success. I'm sure it must be a generational career, your always smiling and making a learning experience for your viewers, thanks brother
Going back and checking another video that snuck by me. I agree with the previous commenter that what you’re doing in not only providing great entertainment cuz cuz ya’ ll all do have some funny times and side note…as I’ve gone back to catch older videos, I must say that your crew of Cody and Tristan and the new games etc, along with the education you provide has provided a more fun video. But back to the beginning here, you really are creating an historical record for fisherman to learn for years and years from now. And so much content provides information to those working on sustainability to the industry.all around the horn Jacob…GOOD WORK!
I used to fish for bugs in Maine. We used smaller traps with a curved top that were all made of oak with window weights for ballast, being a little smaller we used to fish with 10 traps on a string. I really enjoyed the marine education, you never really know what you might bring up in your traps. Great show. I love how you clean off the barnacles and send the breeders off with a snack. Cheers
I never thought that i would be interested in a lobster fishing channel, but i’m loving all of your content! Hopefully you keep doing TH-cam content, and keep up the great work! 👍🏻👍🏻
@@kasondaleigh Thats fair, but I want this dude to get the exposure. Such a great and informative channel. I would love for everyone to watch stuff like this and stop with the politics and divisive shit.
Wow, absolutely neat to see how nature evolves to handle man made things! pretty amazing! At least you guys made good progress on getting the other 50 traps ready
Jacob, someone might have said already, but you can buy a socket adapter bit for your impact driver. That and a deep socket would make removing and driving those nuts a lot easier and faster. For next time! Thanks for teaching us all this cool stuff about Maine and lobster fishing.
I love watching you guys and learning so many new things! The more you replace the new runners, the quicker it will go in the future. A few years from now, you'll look back at this video and see how much faster you are with practice! Stay positive..love your videos!
I love you and your team. I'm sorry I couldn't complete this particular video. Probably because I don't fish . I'm sure it was interesting to others in your field. However I really enjoy watching the majority of your videos. In fact until this one. You kept me going all day. I'm not well so this is great. I would like to say thank you so much 😊
Recently discovered your channel and have to say how informative it is but also entertaining. Love how conscious you are of fishing responsibly and caring for the eco system so we can enjoy your catches for years to come. Question though, how quickly do those degradable hinge things wear out? So if you lost a trap, how long could what’s in there survive and then get out? As a final thought, videos like this show the shear amount work you guys go through to earn your pay. For anyone thinking lobster fishermen earn a fortune and are all raking it in (I sincerely hope you are btw), they need to watch videos like this to see the massive amount of labour that goes into earning your living. Best of luck to you all!
I just discovered your channel all the way from Newport Beach, CA. We have 🦞 traps in the winter out here in the ocean ⛵️. I love watching your videos.
The fact that you must be an owner-operator in the industry, ensuring the competition necessary for leveling the playing field, is wonderful. Lobster fishers have a merit-based system, which ensures that both the lobsters continue and that the fairest workers win a good living.
That's such an easy solution to so many potential problems.
such a great idea for running things - first time I heard of it. I hope it's already used elsewhere and spreads.
In the state of new south Wales in Australia the Dept of primary industries forced all the small commercial fishers out in favour of large companies, easy for the DPI to regulate or so they say. Government shitting on the working guy again
Fun fact, a gas station works this way and it has made hundreds of employees millionaires. Stewart's in Northeast US @@n0f8r
This is better than anything on discovery channel these days.
Thanks for the continued education on Maine lobster fishing work Jacob!
Indeed! Thanks very much. Greetings from South Africa 🇿🇦

What's nuts is that the majority of the people watching would rather replace runners then sit in an office waiting for 12pm and 5pm 😂😂
Yet there's no shortage of office workers. But there is a shortage of lobster runner fixers. Why do you think that is?
I’m learning so much from you! Thank you for sharing even the smallest details of what it takes to run your business

Maintenance days suck but they're the most important days i think.
The prep and maintenance is huge amount of work! Thanks for sharing.
Greetings fellow lobster fisherman our season start tonight here in the magdalen islands wish we could fish all year like you
I really like watching TRUE professionals!
Thanks for explaining how the ropes n 5 traps are organized
I like the behind the scenes stuff.
Jacob, someone might have said already, but you can buy a socket adapter bit for your impact driver. That and a deep socket would make removing and driving those nuts a lot easier and faster. For next time! Thanks for teaching us all this cool stuff about Maine and lobster fishing.
I love watching you guys and learning so many new things! The more you replace the new runners, the quicker it will go in the future. A few years from now, you'll look back at this video and see how much faster you are with practice! Stay positive..love your videos!
Recently came across your channel and enjoy watching what you do being a family business.
Interesting to know about the owner operator. Makes the price even more worthwhile
This looks like decent and honest work. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Thank you for all the amazing content Jacob
I love you and your team. I'm sorry I couldn't complete this particular video. Probably because I don't fish . I'm sure it was interesting to others in your field.
However I really enjoy watching the majority of your videos. In fact until this one. You kept me going all day. I'm not well so this is great.
I would like to say thank you so much 😊
Recently discovered your channel and have to say how informative it is but also entertaining. Love how conscious you are of fishing responsibly and caring for the eco system so we can enjoy your catches for years to come.
Question though, how quickly do those degradable hinge things wear out? So if you lost a trap, how long could what’s in there survive and then get out?
As a final thought, videos like this show the shear amount work you guys go through to earn your pay. For anyone thinking lobster fishermen earn a fortune and are all raking it in (I sincerely hope you are btw), they need to watch videos like this to see the massive amount of labour that goes into earning your living. Best of luck to you all!
So glad I found you through watching shorts. Learning something with every video❤
Hey Jacob, please come to Australia. We’d love you here. Keep talking and just let the other guys do the real work ! National Aussie tradition !😅
Love seeing you guys back at it the not so fun part of fishing. Until next video 😀👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️
Wow rough day. Heavy work, good luck finishing them up. Love the videos
I just discovered your channel all the way from Newport Beach, CA. We have 🦞 traps in the winter out here in the ocean ⛵️. I love watching your videos.
Happy for the rope change to protect the whales.
You guys are so good. All the boats are parked facing the same way. So organized 😂
Much respect - thank you for sharing this episode with all of us
Hi Jacob, Thanks so much for showing this. Super interesting. What a beautiful locale and day. Wish I could call that my office!
