I had a friend that dropped out of high school to work a commercial boat out of San Diego back in the 70's. Worked up to first mate, got a percentage and got rich in the process. Put his father through law school, and worked a tug all the way around the pacific. Way to go John!
Deep sea fishing is indeed a dangerous job. Thank you for this video. I learned a lot. How I'd love to eat freshly caught Halibut. The sight of the ship's cook taking his pick from the bucket of fresh fish is so wow....wish l could do the same. God be with you all.
This is like a sea adventure documentary --being prepared for unknown event --weather/ technical/ electrical /dry catch / human medical casualty as there is no ambulance or hospital on ocean / food supply limitations/ great job & team work
That diver is tough as nails. He looks like he in his 50's or 60's even, but hours in freezing water working with a tiny knife. I have nothing but respect for him.
cut my shrimp net off the wheel after my dumbass copilot ran it over in the freezing cold. and the end of the net at the bag was full of shrimp which the dolphins were trying to pick apart and untie the net ,: for real can untie. KNOT : drop two knives to the abyss, not really t deep 7 fathoms, look it up .

@@DagheCalamar Seaspiracy was fact checked by a marine biologist, basically the whole documentary was way overdramatized in order to get views. You have to be an idiot to believe that documentary
@@Jack-uu6dj there's no marine biologist who can say what reality show us, i saw marine beds and i saw the devastation of our ocean, the documentary shows clearly what multinational industries say about marine preservation, but the truth is that you don't want to stop eating fish and you knoe that if you convince yourself that it's all fake than you won't feel guilty when you will do something that you know it's dangerous for the environment, and I think that is the most stupid thing you can do, instead of searching someone who has your same opinion to fell safe of your beliefs and behaviors, go yourself and watch what's happening in the world and study like there's no tomorrow, that's the only things you can do
I don't really see the problem with deadline though without it the ship will never set sail because they can always go anyday. Everything in life have a deadline anyway
The team work incredible well together, exhausted but still can show the can do attitude all the way, well done to the team especially to the chef. Thumb up.
This is the most most advanced & sophisticated technology in deep sea fishing. Huge question mark! Will the sea run out of fishes? The world has enough for everyone's needs but not enough for anyone's greed.
Of course, the sea will run out. The greed of humanity and the waste they create is completely unsustainable. Soon the sea will be barren and devoid of life and the humanity will pay the price which they deserve.
I read a lot of comments mostly criticism such as damage to environment, destruction of ecosystem, etc.. I would disagree because most of fishing in Europe are strictly regulated with allocated fishing quarters, fish types and zones. Environment damage, ecosystem destruction and overfishing are mostly done in underdeveloped countries across the globe where governments don't have means to guard their sea resources. This is evident especially across Africa from west of Mauritania, rounding up via south of Africa to East of Somalia. Overfishing there is catastrophic! It also happens to some countries in Asia and South America. These folks in the documentary meet the EU regulations imposed within their fishing region in Europe; otherwise they would not allow themselves to be filmed in a well-known documentary like this. Focus should be on those who break fishing laws & regulations in poor and underdeveloped countries.
@@mundlkalli4396 You're welcome! According to Pew Charitable Trust, China, Japan, South Korea, Indonesia, Taiwan and to some extent US are the most responsible countries when it comes to overfishing.
The current problems with the UK/EU fishing was caused by EU boats fishing in UK with their transponders switched off. The only reason to do so is to fish illegally, for high value catches, undersized fish or in areas that were restricted. This is the reality of your much vaunted EU regulated fishing. We are also seeing boats that have been granted a licence being sold (with the licence) and the skipper buying another boat, applying for another licence... rinse, repeat.
This was fun. I have owned two commercial fishing vessels - crabbing boats. Usually it's just a 2 man crew and we go out each morning and come in each evening. While it was nowhere near the scale of operation seen in this video, still I could relate to a lot of what I saw. I was really relating to them getting the nets stuck in the propellers. Hey - it happens. I was scared when the engine stopped. It can be really dangerous when a boat has no power, whether big or small. I have experiences that are too hard to share. The best part was the teamwork and the camaraderie. Thanks for posting. Really cool.
I went up to Alaska to work for ICICLE Seafoods. It was like working as a slave. 16 hour days. 4 men per room that was half the size as the ones these men have. I quit after 1 month and went to work for the Longshoremen. 3 times the pay. I ended up staying up there for 6 years and my last job was for a company building a new powerhouse for the island.49.95hr. plus fringe. I was pulling in $ 2650.00 a week after taxes.

@@ShawnDarlinghalibutfisherman What makes you think that I DID NOT know??? Did I say that??? No I did not. I made more $$$ than any fisherman. And I didn't have to worry about ending up as fish food.
@@58nunzi I pretty much spent my childhood up in Alaska. I commercially fished for my uncle and it wasn't easy work. It took quite a while before he decided to make me full share. Other than my uncle, two others and myself on board. We would be at sea for just a few days per trip. The type of fish I really liked going after was the rockfish. We had a dozen hooks on a reel that ran on an electric motor. Even though the hours were long we could also do long lining, and Kodiak tanner snow crab. If I had the chance to do it again I probably would. But now I am self employed in the sport fishing industry back in Iowa.
The wetsuit the diver is wearing has a constant flow of warm water that circulates thru the wetsuit keeping the diver somewhat warm so they can tolerate the low temperature and avoid hypothermia, so the diver can stay down alot longer getting more work done…
What abuzz to watch. I thoroughly take my hats of to any hard working people /teams /and Fishingtrawlers are exceptional hard working people right dwn to chef's /divers you name it great, great knowledge of experience of jst watching this. Awesome motto. Solve problems instead of complain and that is excately what that skipper/ captain nd his sole team done.. Flying that flag proudly Germany.. 👌
@@devonbluetony even if people would eat Moderate there are still 7.8 billion Human beeings on this Earth . If u want to eat fish sustainably go and fish by yourself and eat local fish , not from Overseas thats where the problem lays .
Great idea Hans. I leave a few minutes from the channel. There used to be plenty of fish in the bay including sea bass. Problem is the trawlers sucked them all up and so nowt left for the locals !@@kenkong8100
Huge respect to the men doing this job. I do have concerns on if this type of harvest is sustainable. Whatever these fish are eating is going to be abundant for the fish left to be cought later so they will grow quicker.
That was great to watch. I like how well everyone works together. The importance of keeping moral high even in the most stressful situations. I like how one of the first things they show is the cook making food. 👌
We've towed 22,24 foot boats 5 miles back with a 26 foot boat a few times. We've been towed back as well. My friend has gone over the side a few times to untangle the prop. That's all I have. Not even close to these fishermen. Terrific video on real life at sea.
Well done for recognising you have this problem James, think now about your family and your fan looking koi pond. Your pond built is one of the best I've seen, looking forward to see your next project build, hopefully things will be better from now on 👍
What I thought was great was how everyone stayed so cool, even when they were dead in the water everyone kept their heads, nobody was panicking or yelling, it’s like hey that’s just how it goes, Bravo guys, great job
My dad is a fisherman in india , it's really interesting to watch fishing done more professionally abroad , ✌️ watched the complete video without skipping
What a great job. Ive been at sea in the Alieutians on Ocean going tugs but it was never this cool. I love that ship. What a wonderful job. I bet it pays decent too!
I'm a new zealand fisherman and work on this type of boat never have I seen the net get stuck 😳 rookies. Crew would be hating on the captain for that one
This was BS, totally programmed, how do you get both nets caught if you’re moving ahead at 3 or so knots while settling the nets? No one would be dumb enough to back down while settling the net.
29:24 "The ship has state of the art equipment"... Don´t be fooled by the hammer, after the hammering the crew sent him to the bottom of the sea, searching for the prey in the form of a sonar torpedo. These germans boys are slick ...
guys, this particular fishing is as close as it gets to sustainable compared to others from other countries.... everything gets monitored by proper experts there, in other countries nothing gets monitored...
@@Niphiz I know you don't know anything, can tell by your comment that in other countries nothing gets monitored. Guess you never heard of the Commonwealth or Scandinavian countries which has the strictest fishing regulations in the world. As for freezer trawlers being a sustainable fishery , you are deluded pal. LMAO a boat that takes 90 days to get it's quota like that one crew member said he was on can't be very sustainable. Go back 10 or 20 years and see how long it took lol.
@@52Rambler I was reffering to non european/western style countries about the monitoring, in India,Africa,China etc I dont think its the same.... Do you know Le Chatelier?? All the human waste that enters the oceans is getting recycled from phytoplankton to later fish and other species that get fished. But lets just forget about that,I mentioned as sustainable as it gets, it doesn't mean its fully sustainable, which in reality nothing is really sustainable in those terms,nor fishfarming,nor trawling.
Amazing job. I really like challenges like this. And I want to ask the part of the main engine that died before, how the next process becomes the engine running again? Is it because of the propeller entangled in the net the cause?
Basically once the net was entangled & the props couldn't turn any more it would have triggered a 'kill switch' to stop the engines. Engines have these fail-safe systems to prevent damage to the propellers & engine if something does get stuck. In this case, they were lucky that no damage was done & once they removed the net it was OK to start up again 👍 But if the propeller shaft or blades were bent or got damaged they'd have to fix them before they could go anywhere.
I think everyone figured that out. Narrator used what's known as the power of suggestion which allows you the listener to make the mental leap to conclusion
Great documentary, when the ship' nets got entangled in the prop and they were waiting for the "dive team" to turn-up I thought "oh dear" when I saw two old guys appear with what looked like a pen-knife, I wasn't filled with confidence. But give those old boys their due they did a great job, proves the old saying don't judge a book by its cover.
Peter! Trains very much for the kind introduction to FALL. Living in Boston, the leaves have started to FALL and our vintage 34’ Sea Ray is coming out of the water next Friday. Yup… just another FALL chore. But I’m very appreciative of the wonderful woodworking skills that you provide. Great work. Here’s to Spring! Cheers! Ray Gecawicz Pronounced… “ge sau vitch” 😎
I've actually worked on a commercial fishing vessel fishing for this exact fish in the Greenland zone. We had an observer from Greenland on board that was tasked with taking tests and monitoring our catch during the six weeks we were out there.
Easy to see why so many fish stocks are depleted. Nothing against the hard working fishermen, but the harvesting methods are too efficient for fish populations.
@@sirvilhelmofyonderland Cannot be done. A propeller guard ruins the dynamic properties of the screw. The ship would require much more power to do the same speeds and would use significantly more fuel that would heavily impact the profitability of the vessel. Net entanglement is very rare. Usually only caused by a heavy trailing sea whilst at low trawling speeds.
We need to ban stop this big trawler fishing because these greedy capitalist destroy the fish industry and killing the earth and fish extinction 🖕🖕🖕😈😈😈😈😃😃😃👍👍👍👍🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳!!!!🌎🌎🌎!!!
@@freefall0483 you asked for a solution, I gave you one, prop guards come in all shapes and sizes, and many are designed not to interfere with the props dynamic physical effects on the water. Some are as simple as two posts. 👍
I fished for FORTY YEARS AS A COMMERCIAL FISHER MAN AND BROTHER IT,S GREED ,WHEN IT,S ALL GONE THEN WHAT I AM SURE SOME ONE IS EATING IT YA RIGHT GO ASK NEWFOUNDLAND WHAT IT GOT THEM WHEN THE BIG BOYS WERE DONE TAKEN EVERY THING THEY COULD CATCH OUR SEAS ARE BEING TORE APART BY CHINA AND A FEW OTHER SHIT HOLES JUST MY THOUGHT
The fact that they have to pull 10 TONS per net to stay profitable, is the epitome of greed. And i am a sustainable commercial fisherman. Think about how many 40-80ft boats they could employ vs a 400ft mansion..more jobs more families more work, less profit
Respect to seamen and one love from Jamaica 🇯🇲 hard work must be notice i would love work on that or similar ships i like where these men view safety as family base on trust ,yes one love from my island Jamaica 🇯🇲 ❤❤❤❤.
Too Late mate. I was a Trawlerman back in '50's when the Spanish Russian and German Motherships started stripping the Cod and Haddock from the North Sea. You could walk over the miles wide shoals then. Mowadays. Tey no longer exist, Thank you motherships. All they see is the big Dollar.......
Awesome! I spent 20 years doing this on the Oregon Coast. Same exact thing, but on much smaller boats. But those are NOT halibut. They are “Turbots “. Considered a “junk fish” in Pacific Northwest. Junk in that they suck and aren’t worth much. Also called “Arrowtooth Flounders”.
Alot of inaccurate info on this documentary.good for the veiwers who dont have a clue but not for inexperienced fishermen.i spent 20years groundfishing on Georges bank but not on this scale that boats a beast man

👍Really enjoyed this video. Tough work & dangerous too. God bless 'em. Keep them safe!

What abuzz to watch. I thoroughly take my hats of to any hard working people /teams /and Fishingtrawlers are exceptional hard working people right dwn to chef's /divers you name it great, great knowledge of experience of jst watching this.
Awesome motto. Solve problems instead of complain and that is excately what that skipper/ captain nd his sole team done.. Flying that flag proudly Germany.. 👌
No wonder fish stocks are becoming scarce. Great documentary but why are ships this size allowed to plunder the oceans ?
Simple question to you :
Do you eat fish ?
@@kenkong8100 Moderation is the answer. Thre is no need for supertanker fishing boats killing off everything that swims. Yes I do eat fish !
@@devonbluetony even if people would eat Moderate there are still 7.8 billion Human beeings on this Earth . If u want to eat fish sustainably go and fish by yourself and eat local fish , not from Overseas thats where the problem lays .
Great idea Hans. I leave a few minutes from the channel. There used to be plenty of fish in the bay including sea bass. Problem is the trawlers sucked them all up and so nowt left for the locals !@@kenkong8100
Bigger ships big profits,small ships less frofits
Huge respect to the men doing this job. I do have concerns on if this type of harvest is sustainable. Whatever these fish are eating is going to be abundant for the fish left to be cought later so they will grow quicker.
especially for surviving eating crap!
What a gorgeous documentary! Thank you so much!!!
Thank you, nicely done. I always wondered about this. Presented in a comfortably consumable manner.
That was great to watch. I like how well everyone works together. The importance of keeping moral high even in the most stressful situations. I like how one of the first things they show is the cook making food. 👌
If you wanna work on a ship you have to be very content
*morale
We've towed 22,24 foot boats 5 miles back with a 26 foot boat a few times. We've been towed back as well. My friend has gone over the side a few times to untangle the prop. That's all I have. Not even close to these fishermen. Terrific video on real life at sea.
Reaaally enjoyed this good document, my new hobby of seeing documents,, is growing big & biiiig!!!
We used to call these mock halibut very tasty and a nice fish to fillet one of my favourites
Well done for recognising you have this problem James, think now about your family and your fan looking koi pond. Your pond built is one of the best I've seen, looking forward to see your next project build, hopefully things will be better from now on 👍
Really great stuff. Many thanks. Few of us ever see things like this.
Yeah when they exhausted all the resources and there will be little left for your children,enjoy and thank on behalf of them also...
What I thought was great was how everyone stayed so cool, even when they were dead in the water everyone kept their heads, nobody was panicking or yelling, it’s like hey that’s just how it goes, Bravo guys, great job
My dad is a fisherman in india , it's really interesting to watch fishing done more professionally abroad , ✌️ watched the complete video without skipping
Can I ask does your father in India work on fishing trawlers or on smaller fishing boat/s? Just curious to ask. I enjoyed watching this video too.
WOW so amazing nice to know how our 🐟🎏 are coming to our table thanks again and God Bless You My Friend's.
Yeah when they exhausted all the resources and there will be little left for your children,thank on behalf of them also...
10 is one per net is NOT sustainable
If you want fish.. take a rod and go catch it…
THAT is sustainable
Very hard work for Fish.Thank you for Fishing.
What a great job. Ive been at sea in the Alieutians on Ocean going tugs but it was never this cool. I love that ship. What a wonderful job. I bet it pays decent too!
@Bernardo Baltazar Villamayor aaa1aa?tyù
I work on ship. We can paid in black Halibut. And I don't even like fish!
Awsome docco most interesting indeed and the cook is awsome bummer bout the end result though
Great documentary. God put the food for us and the demand is there.
I love Germany 🇩🇪🙏🏻🇳🇵
“As they said- ---- everyone can cook, except the cook” 😂😂😂😂
Hahaha
hahahaaha
@@kingmantimhztaylor3008 🤣
Such a great episode! Documentary with phenomenal drama. Love this channel!
Most amazing n incredibly interesting video ever!!!! I love you guys! Be safe out there, peace ✌️ Kimi
I'm a new zealand fisherman and work on this type of boat never have I seen the net get stuck 😳 rookies. Crew would be hating on the captain for that one
Good for you
Funny how it happened when there’s a Documentary Film Crew on board too..
This was BS, totally programmed, how do you get both nets caught if you’re moving ahead at 3 or so knots while settling the nets? No one would be dumb enough to back down while settling the net.
Amazing edit work and voice over done to create such an amazing documentary..❤
29:24 "The ship has state of the art equipment"... Don´t be fooled by the hammer, after the hammering the crew sent him to the bottom of the sea, searching for the prey in the form of a sonar torpedo. These germans boys are slick ...
ahahaha!
dude hahahahhah
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Awesome documentary. Much respect for those who prepare this and for the crew members 🎉
Nice documentary there. That's why I love watching documentaries from WELT
guys, this particular fishing is as close as it gets to sustainable compared to others from other countries.... everything gets monitored by proper experts there, in other countries nothing gets monitored...
You obviously know nothing about the fishing industry at all.
@@52Rambler no I dont know anything! :D could you help me with your knowledge then please?
@@Niphiz I know you don't know anything, can tell by your comment that in other countries nothing gets monitored.
Guess you never heard of the Commonwealth or Scandinavian countries which has the strictest fishing regulations in the world.
As for freezer trawlers being a sustainable fishery , you are deluded pal. LMAO a boat that takes 90 days to get it's quota like that one crew member said he was on can't be very sustainable. Go back 10 or 20 years and see how long it took lol.
@@52Rambler I was reffering to non european/western style countries about the monitoring, in India,Africa,China etc I dont think its the same.... Do you know Le Chatelier?? All the human waste that enters the oceans is getting recycled from phytoplankton to later fish and other species that get fished. But lets just forget about that,I mentioned as sustainable as it gets, it doesn't mean its fully sustainable, which in reality nothing is really sustainable in those terms,nor fishfarming,nor trawling.
Are you high?
Amazing job. I really like challenges like this.
And I want to ask the part of the main engine that died before, how the next process becomes the engine running again? Is it because of the propeller entangled in the net the cause?
Basically once the net was entangled & the props couldn't turn any more it would have triggered a 'kill switch' to stop the engines. Engines have these fail-safe systems to prevent damage to the propellers & engine if something does get stuck. In this case, they were lucky that no damage was done & once they removed the net it was OK to start up again 👍 But if the propeller shaft or blades were bent or got damaged they'd have to fix them before they could go anywhere.
What a documentary!. Highly recommend, very educational. 💕
professional at work. everyone doing a great job 🙏🏻👌🏻🤓
Yeah when they exhausted all the resources and there will be little left for your children,enjoy and thank on behalf of them also...
Credit to that diver, that seems like tough work.
What an extraordinary effort to feed the people, unless it gets exhausted.
narrator didn't really explain why the ships cant use "heavy fuel" near the shores. the stuff is toxic and damaging to marine life.
CO2 emissions
I think to many watching that was understood though.
Air pollution. Too much soot and NO2.
@@peredavi actually, thicker fuel oil has more sulfur content, 0.5% compared to 0.1% of Marine GasOil.
I think everyone figured that out. Narrator used what's known as the power of suggestion which allows you the listener to make the mental leap to conclusion
I once got my fishing line caught in my boat motor prop.
We definitely need more deep sea fishing documentary.
Wow. Awesome documentary. Good work.
Brilliant documentaries! Love it!
Great documentary, when the ship' nets got entangled in the prop and they were waiting for the "dive team" to turn-up I thought "oh dear" when I saw two old guys appear with what looked like a pen-knife, I wasn't filled with confidence. But give those old boys their due they did a great job, proves the old saying don't judge a book by its cover.
Peter! Trains very much for the kind introduction to FALL. Living in Boston, the leaves have started to FALL and our vintage 34’ Sea Ray is coming out of the water next Friday. Yup… just another FALL chore. But I’m very appreciative of the wonderful woodworking skills that you provide. Great work.
Here’s to Spring! Cheers!

Love this but truly wonder how sustainable these stocks are
Probably won't last long if overfishing continues.
I've actually worked on a commercial fishing vessel fishing for this exact fish in the Greenland zone. We had an observer from Greenland on board that was tasked with taking tests and monitoring our catch during the six weeks we were out there.
@@NoR110011
And what were his findings?
@@Eztliz We were allowed to fish up our quota at least. And the fish we catched was healthy and of good size
Easy to see why so many fish stocks are depleted. Nothing against the hard working fishermen, but the harvesting methods are too efficient for fish populations.
Enjoyed the documentary.
Fantastic Documentary. Well done
The fact that a fishing boat’s nets can get wrapped around the propeller seems to be a glaring design flaw.
Do you have a solution?
@@freefall0483 a prop guard
@@sirvilhelmofyonderland Cannot be done. A propeller guard ruins the dynamic properties of the screw. The ship would require much more power to do the same speeds and would use significantly more fuel that would heavily impact the profitability of the vessel.
Net entanglement is very rare. Usually only caused by a heavy trailing sea whilst at low trawling speeds.
We need to ban stop this big trawler fishing because these greedy capitalist destroy the fish industry and killing the earth and fish extinction 🖕🖕🖕😈😈😈😈😃😃😃👍👍👍👍🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳!!!!🌎🌎🌎!!!
@@freefall0483 you asked for a solution, I gave you one, prop guards come in all shapes and sizes, and many are designed not to interfere with the props dynamic physical effects on the water. Some are as simple as two posts. 👍
SICKEN TO SEE SO MUCH LIFE DESTROYED GREED
I am pretty sure those fish are being eaten so....
I fished for FORTY YEARS AS A COMMERCIAL FISHER MAN AND BROTHER IT,S GREED ,WHEN IT,S ALL GONE THEN WHAT I AM SURE SOME ONE IS EATING IT YA RIGHT GO ASK NEWFOUNDLAND WHAT IT GOT THEM WHEN THE BIG BOYS WERE DONE TAKEN EVERY THING THEY COULD CATCH OUR SEAS ARE BEING TORE APART BY CHINA AND A FEW OTHER SHIT HOLES JUST MY THOUGHT
The fact that they have to pull 10 TONS per net to stay profitable, is the epitome of greed. And i am a sustainable commercial fisherman. Think about how many 40-80ft boats they could employ vs a 400ft mansion..more jobs more families more work, less profit
Yess
@@etothelij what it means is that the price they get for the fish is very low from the wholesalers…
Well done. Great On Board Crew! Thanks for the video
Fantastic video and documentary keep safe every one
They had so much sophisticated technology on that ship, but nothing to prevent such an obvious accident?
Some one made a bo bo and he was not see on video after
Very strong
I find the crew amazing..wish I could work with them
Same :(
You think the feeling would be mutual?
@@bumpydevoshire1067 I have the feeling it will
@@inspirebelief333 Good luck. Might need to learn German and get some sailor legs

This is very interesting.
Respect to seamen and one love from Jamaica 🇯🇲 hard work must be notice i would love work on that or similar ships i like where these men view safety as family base on trust ,yes one love from my island Jamaica 🇯🇲 ❤❤❤❤.
I respect the workers and their skillfulness as well as their courage. But we are strip mining life in the sea and its not sustainable.
Too Late mate. I was a Trawlerman back in '50's when the Spanish Russian and German Motherships started stripping the Cod and Haddock from the North Sea.
You could walk over the miles wide shoals then. Mowadays. Tey no longer exist,
Thank you motherships. All they see is the big Dollar.......
4:08 This is DEFINITELY Kurzgesagt’s voice actor. So distinctive :)
My boy just left for Alaska this morning to do this type of work. Praying he makes it back alive😭
Awesome! I spent 20 years doing this on the Oregon Coast. Same exact thing, but on much smaller boats. But those are NOT halibut. They are “Turbots “. Considered a “junk fish” in Pacific Northwest. Junk in that they suck and aren’t worth much. Also called “Arrowtooth Flounders”.
worth good moneybhere in newfoundland. 3$ lb ish
Alot of inaccurate info on this documentary.good for the veiwers who dont have a clue but not for inexperienced fishermen.i spent 20years groundfishing on Georges bank but not on this scale that boats a beast man
