Can't keep a shell in the air but pretty close..Andrew Gleason F/V Westport New Bedford Mass,I've seen people a lot quicker but those are large scallops which take a little more time, peanuts are much quicker....but no doubt,hes a good cutter,real good 👍
Come to Lunenburg NS. This guys good but they are a dime a dozen in Lunenburg. We’ll show you how to shuck fast and for a long period of time. Fast hahahahaha
He's very fast. I'm just about as fast as him. He cuts a scallop white side up. And uses 4 movements to shuck it and cut the meat. He's right handed. I'm left handed and can cut a scallop in 3 cuts. I cut mine pink side up.
Very good brotha. I wouldn't say fastest cutter ever period lol there is no fastest cutter there is a table of the fastest cutters but you're fast up there with the elite guys. If you can keep that speed all trip and cut big ones like then in my opinion you earn yourself a seat at the table.
Yep. He's pretty fast. I bet he's hard to beat when he gets his rhythm. I've seen a few as fast as what he's doing there. He's putting a meat in the bucket every 3-4 seconds average. That's decent. (better than me) One every 2 seconds is amazing and I've seen it done that fast.
“No you don’t”??? m.th-cam.com/video/qiyzO9M4nik/w-d-xo.html No offense, that’s not the only problem. Scalloped for over 20 years and I smell bologna. Fact that some comments says guy is a captain, explains why he is getting praises while not getting any critique at all. Let me explain what’s wrong with this picture. 1. He throws away tons of scallops. Some people in comments claim that’s broken shells. Well, that would be loooots of broken shells. That would mean, somebody definitely doesn’t know how to use cargo and crashes tons of scallops with dredge’s shoes (definitely don’t belong on winch). Anyway, not buying it. Any normal captain would give hell to a wincher for crushing so much scallops. Captain who knows he will be filmed would not choose basket with all crushed shells or at the very least say something about it (as it obviously slows down significantly). ALSO, if those would be crashed shells, from time to time you would see him sticking knife into scallops, knife stuck, than throwing shell away, OR “surgically” dissecting it from the broken bottom (as sometimes only top shell is crushed, while bottom one is fine). Don’t see any of it at all. At the same time note, as he gets deeper into box, instead of cutting to the bottom of it, so he can clean and throw all the garbage and guts out, he continues to push fresh scallops on top with his hand. That is TRADEMARK characteristic of someone who cuts big ones from the top, than throws all small ones from the bottom away. Usually with both hands. As he knows he being filmed he doesn’t do it, just continuing piling big ones on top. If you not intending on cutting small ones, why waste time picking them? 2. Looots of ALL kind of mistakes. He makes strange moves before sticking knife into shell almost on every second-third scallops. He also struggling constantly with removing guts with one move. If you look carefully, he throws away many bottom shells with meat still attached to it, I mean without landing it in a bucket (!!!). Some people claim in comments, he cuts very clean and with same speed for ten days. That’s again,… great story, problem is, it won’t fly with any experienced scalloper. I can bet my ass, he is neither clean (even for sure he might get good count since he throws away all small ones), NEITHER he lasts longer than 3-4 days (at least cutting this way). I always called guys like this “two days heroes”. THATS NOT HOW ultra fast cutters looks like (and I’ve seen quite of few of them in my career). Ultra fast cutters ALWAYS are combination of steady cutter and fast moves. No wasted moves, very few mistakes, same speed and tempo on every shell. Strange moves (as seemingly unable to stick knife into right place with the first try) ARE CHARACTERISTIC to cutters who cut like idiots (and usually squeeze knife hard, one goes along with the other) for first few days, and in process already managed to knocked their hands out. They have all kind of little pains in their hands, and THIS is what causes all those strange moves. As their subconscious mind tries to prevent pain, hands try to accomplish some task (as say placing knife into shell) in such a way so it doesn’t hurt. As it is not possible, because muscles (and joints) responsible for those move are already sore, they making those strange repetitious moves, as if, all the sudden, they either lost vision or feel and are no longer able to aim knife into the right place. Depending where pain is, sometimes it might take them three times to scoop and throw successfully guts of the shell, sometimes they will look as they have to muscle themselves with shell seemingly unable to open it. That’s is all TRADEMARK sign of pain in hands. So does fast cutters hands doesn’t hurt? Well, all of you want to be fast cutter, listen sharply now. Yes they do. THE DIFFERENCE is, they hurt LESS than anybody’s else. This is DEFINITELY NOT a style of ultra fast cutter. It rather looks like a guy, who tries to cut fast as idiot because he knows he is being filmed, someone possibly timing him, and cheat in a process a bit. It looks as he DOES NOT CARE how fast his bucket will fill, but how many moves he makes per second, throwing at number of occasions entire, half opened, and almost finished (with bit of guts left) scallops. He DOES NOT have ANY TRADEMARKS which would be characteristic to ultra fast cutter. Might be OK, might be good (hard to tell). Definitely NOT super good. The fastest cutter I have ever seen was guy from Kathy Marie (around 2008 or so, don’t remember his name, made just one trip with him). Other ultra was Gary from Alaska (he was top cutter on Alaska, on the East Coast (most likely because scallops is different) even he was good he was nothing close to Alaskan performance). On Alaska he was a legend. Another one was Edwino Dutru, my very good friend, short, old and ultra honest Portuguese guy from New Bedford. While weakest cutters would cut 3.25 cheated buckets and good ones 4 level buckets (it was small count, old days), he cut 5, while every of HIS bucket had extra top (he actually stick empty large shells around edges of every bucket so he can fit extra top and continue cutting till meats would not fit anymore and start falling one after another - it was at least good extra 4-5lb). While many guys cheated one way or another, Eddy would consider any form of cheating as stain on his honor. He was also great friend. Also while on subject. Some comments talk about “rebel” style. That’s how I was cutting my whole life. It was called “free hand style” in my days, while “apron” method “the belly style”. While this style might or might not give advantage on count 20+, it also has significant drawbacks. You will never be good on very large shells (U10-15). To grab big shell with one hand without pressing it against belly (and you have to have relatively firm hold, otherwise knife will knock entire shell of your hand), you have to open hand very wide and grip it with just the tips of you fingers, than squeeze it hard. Anything less, knife, even sharp and good, which cuts through lots of guts, will have tendency to kicking shell of your hand. Squeezing hard - as easy to guess, is THE problem. You will have strong pains fast, and start lagging behind other guys. Another possible problem is (not sure was it, it, or perhaps the way I threw guts which my knife missed), my whole life, while other guys looked relatively clean, I (as well place where I cut) was always in all sort of dirt and guts from the top to the bottom. If you have your forearms constantly wet with scallops sauce from shell, as your arm rubs against pants during cutting, you eventually will get scratch wounds on insides of your forearms, which dipped in salt water and scallops sauce will hurt. Standing pain is no BFD or any concern at all. Problem is ANY (even small) extra pain, translates to lower performance. I used to cut socks ends and wear them on forearms, which helped a bit. Nothing however beats clean, dry without any wounds or scratches forearm, which I’ve seen on many other guys. If you can do both styles, that’s awesome. Don’t make mistake however of learning to cut “rebel” style, as you won’t be able to cut “belly style” with same speed, without starting to learn cut all over again. Should you go on a trip with all large stuff and a lots of it, you will suffer a lot, and lower your rank to average - below average. Would I start scalloping career again, I would never choose free hand over belly style again. While free hand again MIGHT be good on small stuff, belly style IS FOR SURE good on ALL stuff (all three ultras I know were “belly”, along number of other very fast guys).
Thats fast but im left handed and had a polish guy show me how to cut one less motion than a right hander.i wasn't as fast as him but he always had a shell in the air good luck with that😂
When a guy online calls the small stuff "swill," I know he's a real one, lol. Dude has quick hands, no doubt. I've seen guys with better economy of motion though. They always grab the scallop perfect with their left hand, never miss putting the knife in or pulling the gut and they actually look like they're doing even less. More and more guys adopting that "Rebel" style too when they don't even need an apron, cutting out in front of them instead of bringing it right in to their belly. Glad he posted this though, I enjoy any videos from guys working scallopers. Brings back memories of my old man. If you're still fishing, stay safe.
@@daniilmosiyenko If you look closely, he misses a gut and can't get the gut off, so he just throws the whole thing over. That's what Richard is talking about. Nothing wrong with that but there was nothing wrong with that scallop, he just didn't want to waste time getting the gut off.
Not bad.. hes trying to hard for the camera ..keeps making silly mistakes..the question is how much meat is lleft on the shell after he cuts it..drives me crazy people that think they are fast but leave half the meat
You obviously aren’t a Skipper for a Scallop Vessel I can tell you that right now. Fckn internet goon. On a good note though those are some healthy Scallops. Can’t beat small shelled 30-40’s. There’s actually a couple 20-30’s I watched him shuck
Andrew Rice 30-40’s?? You ever shucked 30-40 count? Ain’t none of that close to a 40 count scallop. Everything he put thur his hands there would be a solid 20-30 count for sure and I don’t think there was even a 40 count scallop in this video.
If you were my captain, I’d probably quit on Day 2 😆. Stop talking nonsense! This guy is a great Captain, I fished for him for few years, several 50k trips, always big stuff, fastest cutter, etc.

He's also the captian and a super clean cutter everyone a critic stand next to him bang he cuts like that all watch
Bunch of online shit talkers. This guy is fast. Period.
He's good but to say the fastest ever?
You must be a rebel, no? Don't even need an apron! Quick hands, no doubt. Stay safe.
Just like anything else. There's always someone better period! 😂😂

Absolutely Terry my friend. 14-17 minutes per bucket 17-18 count last couple trips.
That’s a 25 pound bucket also
He's very fast. I'm just about as fast as him. He cuts a scallop white side up. And uses 4 movements to shuck it and cut the meat. He's right handed. I'm left handed and can cut a scallop in 3 cuts. I cut mine pink side up.
Guy is fast give him some credit if there was a NFL for scallopers he would make a team there are guys that are even faster but he is deff elite !!
Ok so I had to watch in 0.25x speed just to see what he's doing... wow!
When you’re on video trying you fuck up more than not paying attention. If you’re faster then post it.. he’s quick and throwing over cracked scallops.
Very good brotha. I wouldn't say fastest cutter ever period lol there is no fastest cutter there is a table of the fastest cutters but you're fast up there with the elite guys. If you can keep that speed all trip and cut big ones like then in my opinion you earn yourself a seat at the table.

No you haven’t
I believe you man..... I’ve seen 2 second cutter.... lefty and righty .....I’m your average 3 second
No you haven’t

PERIOD
Bay of Fundy crews are same if not fast - period
Is that a liner, or just a neoprene sleeve up to his wrist?
Not bad, I am not the fastest for sure but my last trip I was dumping bucket every 14-17 minutes. And believe me we have faster. 18 count
Thats a fast clip ...but I've seen faster in the early 90's cutting swill

The fastest..?? Ha..!! He doesn't even shuck the actual scallop from its shell. But throws it down the chute instead. Yeah fast alright. Not.! 🤣
He's ok definitely people faster I'm one of them
Clean cutting and then speed , it's all about the meat ?? Let's c him after 10 days???? ( not bad )
What kind of liner is he wearing under the gloves? I need thicker ones for the winter.
King Anthomenos usually you don’t start scalloping until April and close it October so they are good with out linnets
@@jerseyboyhunting5666 yup you knowww
Yep that's fast but there's someone that's faster
@Chris Jensen The really fast guys look like they're doing nothing at all.
Me
He also throws perfectly good scallops over when he misses and when he grabs wrong
He throws over broken ones. Pay attention 😉
Yeah those ain't perfectly good.
@@daniilmosiyenko If you look closely, he misses a gut and can't get the gut off, so he just throws the whole thing over. That's what Richard is talking about. Nothing wrong with that but there was nothing wrong with that scallop, he just didn't want to waste time getting the gut off.
Shaggy you'd smoke this dude with ease! 😂😂
what song in the beginning is in the background.

You missed a gut
I could beat him
im faster
Not bad.. hes trying to hard for the camera ..keeps making silly mistakes..the question is how much meat is lleft on the shell after he cuts it..drives me crazy people that think they are fast but leave half the meat
How can you tell he’s shaving meat off?? Ya can’t.
He wouldn’t hold up in the Australian scallop industry
He throw away they small ones. Be a man cita everything
I'm a captain id fire this guy for tossing good shit over thats like cherrypicking in the pile
You obviously aren’t a Skipper for a Scallop Vessel I can tell you that right now. Fckn internet goon. On a good note though those are some healthy Scallops. Can’t beat small shelled 30-40’s. There’s actually a couple 20-30’s I watched him shuck

And he is definitely cutting 10/20 count, not 20/30. It is summertime, the stuff swells up good. 15-17 count probably
