You know it was a good day when even the cops say you caught too many fish 😂
game wardens are worst to be honest, these guys can go through whatever they want without a warrant. Game wardens are not to be triffled with, those dudes in green man
Flip side of that coin.if you all legsl.guess what.NO PROBLEMS
@@johnschneider1483don’t need a boat license in the NT I live in Aus you can drink on ya boat as much as you like 👍
This form of commercial fishing is a lot more sustainable than trawl or gill nets
If this is commercial fishing, they're supposed to immediately put them in ice for the market. Looks like they're just fishing
@@tng907you must live in a reality where everyone and every business does what they are supposed to, cause I don’t. That’s not the reality.
I work in Alaska as a charter boat deckhand in the summers. We are checked like this every single day when we get to the docks. Helps ensure that boats who decide to overharvest or harvest illegal fish get caught, or never do it in the first place. It’s one of the reasons Alaska’s fish populations are so much better than the other west coast states.
Edit: yes I’m aware Alaska is way larger with a smaller population. However if you know anything about the commercial fishing industry, Alaska harvests more fish commercially and through charters than any other west coast state and pretty much every other state in the U.S. It’s Alaskas primary industry besides oil.
Yep. Works wonders and they usually aren't hated because everyone wants the populations to survive
This is what I love to see! Trying to become a Cheechako. Grew up in Minnesnowta and the summers are nicer in AK. Just as many mosquitoes but not the heat of FL summers with winters from the Arctic. My kind of place. 😂
What it really is, is government overreach. Got to keep their big fat thumbs on the people.
@@geraldhowse8597how? Some dickhead bags out all the fish and leaves none to carry on the next generation, nobody else gets fish. Pretty fuckin simple.
@@geraldhowse8597 who hurt you? Also the tragedy of the Commons is real
Don't hate on the guys trying to keep overfishing under control...regulations are there for a reason. If you enjoy fishing and want to keep doing it regulations help keep the assholes accountable.
Luckily for me in SC there is no limit whatsoever alot of people will never get a Chance to catch 115 fish in a day and keep them all
bootlickers like them have taxed and regulated the industry into dust...
I watched a NJ wildlife officer in full tactical gear , ballistic vest etc. measuring fluke on a small boat with a Grandpa and his grandson. He walked by and I said to him "maybe you're a little overdressed for this party". He did not appreciate this, too bad, so sad.
Some of these guys are A-Holes.
Two types of Game Wardens / Fishing Officials
1. Are power tripping asshats who just want to ruin everything and anything involving their respective section
2. Are actual good Wardens who are actually stopping people from overfishing/overhunting
Here on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, I've only encountered the latter. Friendly, and very Professional.
Edit: That's only with game warden \ conservation officer. No experience with fisheries officers. I guess they're out there, but never met one in over 20 years!
Looks like officials respectfully doing their job. Good work all around with the oermits, licenses, and measures.
Looks like you go for pork sausages, these tax paid human rights violators, just want power over the people. The corrupt politicians and brainless sheep, believe that amateur fishermen are depleting the fish stocks by having a few extra, while the comercial fishermen are catching many tons each. Get some brains people.
@walker.wayne5772 That's not a search, that's an inspection. It's not to put you in jail, it's to preserve fish stock so we can keep hunting and fishing in the future.
@walker.wayne5772he's a game warden, not a police officer. They don't need warrants for a situation like this
This is great
People need to do that to ensure the population is and stays healthy
@@Nebaulusnot at all 😂 this is actually what conservation looks like. but to an uneducated individual it looks like a scene from the "Blackfish" documentary 😂
@@thestinkiestpp1894 Don't know much about the american fishery bc I live in germany. Our fish population isn't doing as great as yours.
Near where I live a few years ago, two old jerkoffs got caught with a few _hundred_ bluegill and sunfish in their boat. The limit is 25. After a search of their homes they found over 1000 more. They had been catching, cleaning, and freezing them and _never ate any._ Infuriating.
I remember reading about something like this. It was some elderly men here in TN.
Fish and Game does an important job.
In Michigan every spring there's a "smelt run"; small tasty fish. State wanted to put controls on how many you could catch, and the large hunting and fishing community pressured the legislature to refuse it.
So the overharvesting continued and now the runs are small and sometimes don't happen at all.
I mean, some people were catching basketfuls and throwing them on their gardens, plowing them under as "fertilizer".
Yep, and we have all these petulant children in here bitching about it. Game wardens were introduced because we were hunting and fishing species out of existence. I'm fine with a warden dropping by to check my license and my cooler if it means future generations get to enjoy the natural resources that I get to enjoy.
I appreciate the fish and wildlife guys checking everyone and doing their jobs.
Print out your license, and keep a copy with your fishing gear.
Way easier than fumbling with a phone.
Every heard of the 4th amendment?Land of the free home of the brave we thought this was? Bootlickers.
Print it out and laminate it or cover it with clear packing tape. You used to be able to buy em in person here and they were nice, bright colored, and waterproof but now difficult to do it anywhere other than online. So laminate and then keep somewhere handy - I might have a clear drybag for my phone on a lanyard and that's a easy place to slide it. My partner had clear bags for lures and he'd have his license in one in the top pocket of his tackle bag.
Backup on the phone too. But easy to grab paper license is always good, and that you went to the effort to have it easily available is a good sign for the official folks doing their job (which is a good thing). You can see them noticeably chill out lol.
"Do you mind if i throw some on the tape"
Like you have a choice😂
Exactly. What is he going to say “no officer, we’d prefer you didn’t” 😂
Well, it can be a cooperative scenario....or a combatitive scenario
Respect the resource, protect the resource.
look up what happened to the cod fishery in Newfoundland Canada. Don't let it happen to you.
@@ScottPittman-jc7ph I grew up on Puget Sound and have watched numerous fisheries collapse... and that's for EVERYONE, not just the big commercial outfits. Can't keep rock cod anymore as a sportsman... and because of industrial pollution, there's a whole bunch of other stuff that's inedible anyhow.
Support your local wildlife department. They're literally the only police I don't mind interacting with
same, a lot of them are hunters and fisherman as well so they usually understand. Regular cops dont drink and drive so we have nothing in common
Most of the time. Ran into some cool ones. Ran into a couple of d***s. Favorite of all time when a new guy checked our walk in outdoor freezer and the old redneck landowner chews him out so bad he literally left crying saying don’t ever call him if we need help lol. He left the county next season
In actuality, these people definitely don't support them. The only people who support them are the poachers, the funding comes from fish and game violations.
Be quick and polite - these guys are only doing their job and our fish stocks are in such a terrible state that this is so necessary.
Of course there will be assholes power tripping, but I've found they're fairly rare to encounter.
I find that offering a nice cold soda on a hot day helps a lot. They check that everything is in order and then head off to hassle the next asshole in line.

Overfishing is seriously an issue that needs to penalized
Oh, trust me they got fined if not some jail time you can’t catch that many without consequences or commercial licenses and I’m talking you need a lot of licenses to fish like that
@@mrwhiskers1471 its very simple to get a commercial license now days, anyone get get it and catch ton of fish. Definitely there should be a different limit even for commercial.
LOL they're using fishing poles they're not out there using nets they caught a couple fish that's nothing compared to the people that net the fish you guys need to do some research....
This is absolutely dick to do with overfishing.
I truly believe that you people have an infant's understanding of the ABSOLUTE FUCKING SCALE of the oceans....
This little boat has about 1% of what every commercial boat out there netting pulls in... *_every single day._*
As much as we hate game wardens, if it weren't for them, you would have nothing to catch cus poachers would take everything.
And the Chinese & other Asian countries would steal everything because their waters are way over fished out
You have to be legitimately braindead to hate game wardens. If you hunt or fish you should be happy they exist, I’ve never met a game warden that was disrespectful, rude or nasty. They check what they have to check and they’re on their way.
2 people who enjoy the environment doing proper thing
@@floppycockjamboozle5382 the police are making sure they aren't taking fish that are still growing up, as well as make sure they aren't taking more fish than they are allowed to, both of which serve to protect and control the wild fish populations at a sustainable level so people can come and fish for their food every year.
@@muscleman125 that makes sense from the police perspective. I’m not sure if the fisher is doing the right thing though.
@@muscleman125 NO they are just looking to arrest them and impound their boat
I recently had the time of my life in the Caribbean, me and my dad caught some pretty nice king mackerel
Just in case anyone is wondering the legality of wardens searching:
The U.S. Supreme court upheld Maihkio vs. California which says game wardens have the authority to stop, question, and search citizens without a warrant or probable cause.
The court clarified that people who hunt and fish have reduced privacy rights concerning the Fourth Amendment.
Legislating from the bench is wrong. What the SCOTUS should do is refer the case to the Congress and explain what is wrong with the existing law/amendment. Courts should not create law/undermine law/erode constitutional rights. We have an entire branch of government that should be creating and amending law.
No wonder there's no fish around I'm glad in Australia we got bag limits
He said "Porbeagle Shark" but I heard "Poor People Shark" and I cant stop thinking about that
Bro that was a dope angle of the shark
In iceland we call that fish ufsi. Some people call it ocean salmon. Which isnt correct. But why dont you bleed them? Once caught, cut the to bleed them. The fish stays fresher longer.
That's what I like to see, respectful law enforcement working with fisherman yet doing their job to keep fisheries in good shape.
Respectful tyranny is still tyranny. Tyranny with a smile is still tyranny. So much for the 4th amendment. Thought this was the land of the free, home of the brave. Bootlickers.
They're just doing their job. If it weren't for the DNR the foreigners would fish out every lake here in Minnesota. They do it anyways, too many of them to catch.

They are doing their jobs properly 👏🏼
Great vid. I also wanted to let ppl know of a new report that was released yesterday.
A new study has revealed worrying levels of fiberglass in oysters and mussels. This marks the first time fiberglass or glass has been found vs the microplastics. The tissue samples of oysters and mussels were collected near an active boatyard in Chichester Harbor, a popular sailing destination in South England. A perfect example of 'cause and effect' dumping of manufacturing rubbish finding their way into our waterways or similar household dumps. Truthfully none of this is a surprise as its commonsense there wld be an impact although we don’t know yet the true impact of these micros, drug cocktaiks in our water. Other than there's a big drop in birthrates and fertility across the workd. A lot has to do with aging populations but the drop in fertility is a big concern.
You know you can stop When you catch more fish than you would ever eat in a year. 👍 ocean isnt limitless
You know, obviously, if they were only trying to feed themselves, they wouldn't have continued fishing that much.
They're most likely taking those fish to market.
try tellin that to the Chinese. they will be in your waters real soon.
Man if obly every interaction between people could be this respectful and polite
Its really great to see sensible conservation working. Its happening in pockets around the world. Lobster in Maine have strict catching parameters too, which means big males and female eggers are protected.
And that’s why we have them.
Game wardens are the ultimate fisherman.
Game Wardens are a boon to society. Keeping wildlife rescources available for our childrens' children.
I have so much respect for the officials doing their job. That’s why we pay licensing fees. Keep the waters populated for future generations. Nothing incenses me more than seeing arseholes keep undersized fish.
Bootlicker. So much for the land of the free, home of the brave. So much for our 4th amendment.
To be honest I respect the guy. You weren't doing anything wrong. Neither was he, he was as doing his job. He'd rather be cautious than risk someone actually overfishing.
Awesome..
Three way rig with 3 fish on line 😊
Love it
That Bauer gaf is SWEET
Well (hopefully) you'll put out a part two of this video so we can see what ultimately happened.
The officer said have a nice day, and left. Happens hundreds of times every day all across the country.
Oh my gosh! Apparently ocean regulations are way different than inland regulations here in Michigan except for small panfish. You can only keep maybe six of a species. Can't believe how many you were able to keep legally! I expected you guys to be going to jail with that many fish.
These fish don't have a bag limit, and they are a small commercial boat, so they are aloud to keep more than non commercial.
The Bauer pole is a nice creation, instantly knew you were a hockey player when I saw that.
When the feds show up, be thankful, because they are helping keep the fishery alive.
It’s crazy how we have to hire people to protect our environment and when they do so people are mad. Can we win anything in this society? Do your job you lose. Don’t do your jobs we all lose. Figure it out.
Hey if youre in the limit i have no complaints! Great work guys
If they were this aggressive with boarding illegal Chinese fishing vessels as they were with recreational fishermen, we wouldn't have shortages of fish
I love it when people do their jobs properly and do not overstep any normal boundaries or get shamed for it. You know, like in a normal functional society. ❤
The fishing looked immaculate 🔥
That is a load of fish how much time do you think it took?
@@MWilk098pshh 2 hours is a bit long if they’re consistently getting triples, I worked on a charter boat for a bit and when we got a lot of triples we could be done in 45 minutes
Good on ya! Glad you are doing this the right way and the cops are making sure ppl don't over harvest or take protected species.
also if you review the history, several boats have been lost, not due to weather, but that the crew got greedy and overloaded their boat to the point it sank... the waters of alaska are NOT calm... so i like the fact they are so diligent in their labor. work hard but work safe* ((even if safe is relative to the conditions,)) frankly i'm surprised there is no such thing as submarine fishing fleets yet ... since under the water is so much calmer ...usually**

If only people in Florida cared more about the coral reefs and the fish populations not to mention manatees and alligators. In my lifetime I've watched the coral reefs around Tampa bay all the way to the keys go from thriving to dead bleached and zero life. I was part of creating a rock pile and special concrete manmade reefs for all manner of life to grow on. In Florida because of the heavy pollution by paper plants and sugar cane harvests not to mention the invasive species like snakehead and lionfish to iguanas and pythons up to 20 ft long. The government knows that the paper plants are directly responsible for the increase of red tides which can be deadly to everything including humans. Used to at my childhood home you could go out on the dock at any given time during the evening and see a huge pod of dolphins now they barely exist in much smaller populations. In the last 20 years all of the gulf of Mexico and Bahamas have seen 95% of the Coral reefs die off. Iguanas and pythons and Nile monitors have decimated the land and native species. Not to mention the maleluca trees brought here to suck up water in the glades to develop swamp into farmable land. Now the state pays people to go out cut down and kill the trees which is very difficult because if the tree seeds up before its cut down over a million seeds can germinate and take over again killing off the native species.
This is all something that our government knows. However because these companies are literally paying for people like ron desantis to keep oppressing the state and allowing things they should have stopped years ago...
Ron desantis and the Republican party have made Florida a hellscape for all. Nobody can afford insurances with increased homeowners insurance going up 400 percent in some areas causing companies to leave. Hes caused the biggest employer of the state Disney to stop billions of dollar plans that would bring in more jobs for Floridians because of his authoritarian policies and making books illegal and waging his war against whatever wokeism is. He doesnt even realize that hes literally saying hes against smart people that can actually use critical thinking. What I'm saying is. When you vote this year. Consider all this
Wow, nice blog! Estrogen has wrecked your brain. All that estrogen and you'll still never pass.
If you don't know what "wokeism" is, your political opinion is invalid. Insurance rates are up across the country due to lawless activity emboldened by the BLM movement! DeSantis for President!
If your woke, your not an intelligent person capable of critical thinking. More like critical feelings!
If you discard facts and nature your using any kind of critical thinking!

The Law is more concerned about some dudes fishing than what's going on at the border.
they don't care, they would rather sell us out if they could. Those people are not our friends.
They keep everything in check. Without them their will probably be no fish

@@6413Teddy "If it's not breaking the law it's none of your business"
The ocean is not privately owned, it is everyone's business and people who sabotage the health of it should be held responsible. Overharvesting is the same as tearing up a roadway, stealing tax dollars, or dumping trash in your local water well. It is a mistreatment of a public resource that many more than just you rely on. You could've just said "That's not the case here" and have been right, but instead you choose to react with the most boomer take imaginable. Stop being weak and start assuming your actions have caveats attached, because they always do if you wish to be anywhere near a reasonable person.
And sure enough🐟🎣
I helped cover the deck with tuna in Costa Rica with the locals. I caught 26 that day and my arms were destroyed. It was worth it. I kept a couple for dinner and the captain sold the rest. It was just like this video but yellowfin tuna instead. I miss living down there, it's awesome.
Man I remember when we went lobster fishing in Florida and this cop came we had like 7 over the limit that was 2 each the cop starts checking them I'm shaking and my uncle says if you want you can take some home for the family the cop says alright grabs 3 and says to my uncle dont come back over here lol we was broke and my uncle had warrant out of miami Dade we was in the keys the best and the most adrenaline moment I had in my life that cop man I will never forget
Nice to see them doing good work
This is in sportfishing. This is like commercial. You’re not leaving any fish for other people.
the local here always say, when you caught soo many fish like as if the fish come to you. you better stop early, because its the sea telling you to leave. sometimes its a sudden bad weather or shark
Glad to see they are doing their jobs and that you were legitimately keeping fish and not poaching
I’ve enjoyed all of your videos so far! I really like the long form in depth discussions and interviews a lot. I’m looking forward to more videos about or including tea. Hope you enjoy the rest of your day!
Dude! That’s a fish haul. Nice going.
Good to see tax money still isn't being spent on anything useful
The shark is nature telling you that you’re taking more than you need
the shark is an opportunistic hunter that smelled blood and saw an easy meal.
Nature wasn't saying jack- that's you humanizing the situation. The shark is just living its life, it's not some cosmic sign.
I’m personally a fan of the decking, because my primary method of fishing is via paddleboard, which uses the same padding.
Never fails,to come up from a lobster dive and your friendly EP are always there to greet you
You forgot to mention if they gave you any tickets

Repurposed Bauer for a gaff hook and gopro arm. You could not be more New England and I love it!
Yo porbeagle is cool it's critically endangered. Cool find
The Bauer hockey stick is golden
i hope this rules exist in japan , everyone just overfishing here 😅 mostly Tuna
This is what happens. Doesn’t show what happens. Big brain content my dude
Portbeagles were thought to be extinct until my uncle Tim and his sharking team caught 2 in one weekend during a Martha’s Vineyard tournament years ago. They won the tournament.
They were just doing their jobs. I appreciate that. We need more protection for our wildlife.
The shark said “hey bro, you gonna eat that? 👀”
I lost a codfish to a shark. It didn't break the surface but grabbed it a few feet below the boat. It was pretty cool.
The hockey stick goes crazy
The Minnow marshals responded, good catch
Hey, at least the cops are doing their job
Fish on the boat: “Mom!?! Mommy!!!!”
*half fish carcus dangles overhead*
Yeah my grandfather is pretty sure that his uncle is the reason why there is a limit on how many fish you can catch because he would catch hundreds of fish at a specific time and place
Nice big pollock. Seems like going for them off shore they’re so much bigger than the ones I catch from shore. Only caught one off shore once and it was HUGE (compared to what I usually catch)
I have absolutely no problem with people catching loads of fish this way … it’s when huge boats with nets take out 1000s
The hockey stick hook is ingenious
"I hope we run into the game warden today.",, said no one ever who was hunting or fishing.
Im glad people seem to understand that overfishing is a problem in this comment section
That’s a lot of fish. Hopefully non of it goes to waste.
Only take what you can eat. In New Zealand if you take more than the legal limit, the fisheries will impound your boat, car and all equipment.
Those fish are almost guaranteed going to market. The person who uploaded does commercial fishing.
Even if they weren't, after gutting and cleaning, you wouldn't need much more than a big chest freezer for those. A family or two wouldn't take too long to get through that much fish eating it a couple times per week.
That fish has no limit in Massachusetts waters. No size or bag limit. In Federal water (more than 3 miles from shore), there is a minimum size limit but no bag limit. Atlantic Pollock are far from being overfished. The level of fishing could be increased a considerable amount from where it is now and the population would still not be at-risk. The same can't be said for all other species in that area, but Atlantic Pollock are a fish that there is a surplus of in the area.
If they are commercial fishermen, they have not broken any laws.
the bauer gaff is elite
If you are legal who care. Glad they are making sure you are legal to save resources.
