Jacob, I spent my young life on the Gulf of Mexico. Now I'm a grandmother. Found your channel 8 weeks ago. My 32 year old twins have been watching you for years. I told them about you 🤣. Oh yeah Mom, we love him. I'm so behind. Absolutely love what you do. Such fun for me. Good job!!!
I’m a woman and enjoy reading a book while others fish here in Idaho. But for some reason I love watching your channel Jacob. Been watching for about a month now and I’m intrigued by all the weird looking fish, and how knowledgeable you are about each one. Thank you for this channel, I found something I didn’t know I enjoyed 😂 Prayers to you for an abundance of Lobsters for the rest of the season🙏
I grew up in Maine and your videos bring me back home. Your enthusiasm, hard work, and kindness reminds me of where I came from and the Mainers I grew up with. Thanks so much for your content and I wish you more and more success to bring Maine and the art of lobster fishing to the rest of the world!
After discovering your channel, which I *thought* would be one viewing out of curiosity… giving ‘snacks’ to eggers, showing us interesting fish, and your sense of humor keeps me coming back! Thanks
I would do the crabs. You showed up in my feed after Leon, the rescue 🦞. I don't miss any posts from either channel. Why I love your posts is the charming humor, family, teamwork, ethics, adventure, ocean views and business details. I am Montana farm and ranch heritage. Always wondered about this harvesting as it is vastly different. Thanks for this perspective. ~Montana Fan
Amazing how much you throw back. Love your kindness, snacks and respect for the various creatures you find, I've learned so much. Cheers and thanks to your crew and videos, that I enjoy from Hawaii!
I have so many different types of emotions - all good - watching this channel. I never thought watching men catch lobster would be entertaining but the educational value is priceless. Judging by the comments, it’s also reassuring to see that people are still interested in learning about where their food comes from, the work involved, and sometimes, the dangers involved. Have to admit too - as someone who’s deftly afraid of the open ocean - the fog gave me anxiety as I was concerned about other boats crashing into y’all. Anyway, thanks for the videos and stay safe! Hoping the fog will let up before the summer ends.
Jacob , are these the same stone crabs that are caught down here in Florida? They just break off the claws here and throw them back so they can grow new claws . Your right they are great eating ! Thanks for the great job of explaining everything, we enjoy all your videos! Stay safe !
The wide angle lens and the rocking of the boat makes it seem even faster too 😂, definitely some quick skilled workers there. Edit: kinda makes their arms and feet look like they are moving very fast haha
@@Blackswan19874not the same crab and we can the claws off and throw them back. but there is very little market for them nobody wants to pick them and gov has made it next to impossible for somebody to do it out of their house to sell to public.
Born up here in Nova Scotia I grew up loving the Atlantic and it's East Coast treasures, and now at 57 I have found yet another... a fisherman named Jacob! Been trying to binge watch start to finish and realize I may not be an old dog yet because of all you are teaching me. Now I need to book a fishing charter to get out with a couple friends for the day and feel mother nature in all her beauty (not fury!). Love fishing, swimming, cliff diving and now watching a good old boy proudly following in his great grandfather's footsteps! THAT IN ITSELF SPEAKS OF THE EAST COAST PRIDE WE POSESS. KEEP 'ER UPRIGHT, WATER TIGHT AND IN SIGHT!
So, this will be a little lengthy, as I'm a 60+ year old woman who has three adult children. I can only speak for myself, but, I'm a very southern Hoosier, & only live about 3-4 miles from Louisville, KY. Our world, in general, has changed very much in the last three years. I stopped watching 'news' about two years ago. Seems that 90% was ONLY horrible, negative stuff. I've been following y'all about a year now. Absolutely LOVE ❤ this particular video. You probably never think about how a person's overall health & psyche can change very quickly.... BUT, I feel much more relaxed, calm, ..... and, believe it or not, my heart rate is much lower after watching this. I've always loved learning about anything that is new to me, & my normal lifestyle, environment, etc. Every time you explain (teach) about all of what y'all do, & anything about the Atlantic Ocean, I feel just a little more intelligent about our USA, & areas I've never had the opportunity to visit, see, etc. For me, that is a very good thing. You are all very hard workers, & definitely represent the good, 🇺🇲 American male, that are good guys. 👍🏻 I'm always wondering since you all must wear those waterproof jackets, coats, etc., well .... don't y'all get super HOT?! And, that's not even talking about all that FOG, 💧 water in the air! I basically just wanted you to know that YOUR personality with your videos certainly mean a lot more than most people will ever take the time to express it. Thank you for making my day calmer, & a little happier. Have a blessed, happy, healthy weekend. 🇺🇲
Love seeing a first-person perspective of what lobstering off Winter Harbor's like! I couldn't be happier to have found your channel and see my hometown again after being away on the other side of the world for almost a year now. Your videos make me really miss the co-op and the early mornings waiting in the fog for the first run out of WH on the Bar Harbor ferry when I was working it last summer
I could listen to your lessons all day long. ❤ I find myself watching for comfort. Something about your nature is comforting to my ❤ whenever I feel sad. Thank you for being so kind.
Man, Lobster fishing seems like it has a lot less drama than the Alaska Crab Fisheries :). Looks like mostly peaceful fishing (I am sure storms pop up every once in a while that makes this more interesting).
I love the respect you give all the animals of the sea…..especially when you give them a snack before throwing them back as a thank you. Keep telling us about the sea creatures.
Gorgeous video and I learn so much. The lobsters are amazing animals - so ancient and know how to survive. I can see your love and respect for the sea life
Keep em coming... luv watching your vids. I grew up on cape cod and worked everything from traps to trawlers when I was younger and make me miss it and want to go back out!! You make it look easy but for those that know... it ain't lol.. wishing you guys the best and be safe out there! ✌️💚
Fun fact, the lumpfish is on the national currency for Iceland. Many countries consider it a delicacy, and in countries that don't have sturgeon they eat the female's eggs (roe) as caviar.
Just moved to my dream seaside village in Australia so the algorithm sent me you, Jacob.I appreciate that you throw back your unwanted fish alive, having just watched a horrific doco by Gordon Ramsay on shark fin fishing in Asia and the huge amount of dying and dead unwanted fish they dump, just so they can cut the fins off the sharks, relegating them to a dreadful death.Maine was the first state I learned about as a teenager decades ago, its always been a place I would love to visit.You guys work so hard, I am in awe. Btw, its whale season here, we are enjoying their frolics.
That fog is crazy. We get occasional fog in Florida, but it's nothing like that, and it burns off by 10 am. I've seen such fog in movies, but I thought it was Hollywood exaggerating.
I live on Nantucket and its been foggy like this most mornings for a few weeks straight now, i grew up in NY and had only seen fog like this a few times, now its normal
I live in the middle of the UK & can remember driving at night in fog so thick I couldn't see the road. I had to open my door so I could see the white line in the middle of the road & follow it. This was the only way I could stay on the road & not in a hedge! Scary shit!
Wonderful watermen videos. I had two great uncles who lived on Monhegan for decades. They operated the general store there and fished lobsters during the winter. Couple of tough old coots. Best to you and crew.
I love it when YOU’re surprised & delighted by the treasures of the ocean! ❤️ (I seem to better see the colors & markings of your critters, when you are outside the wheelhouse.)
You guys work like a well oiled machine. You had better keep that crew happy! How long would it take to train another guy? I grew up in Destin Florida. My family ran commercial and tourist boats. Ten hours on the water and two hours prep and two to three hours cleaning fish! I used to cry when I could hear the sea bouie in the morning from my bed. Rock and roll! There were many times when we would need to reach up to put a fish onboard, ratchet seas! Those days are gone. I am 63 and most of the people Daddy's age that I grew up fishing beside are gone. As a girl and young woman I loved most every moment. Went off to college then came back to work the galley and commercial fish on the side. Wonderful memories.
Love these videos Jacob! Does it take about a week to check all the traps, and then start the cycle all over again? How long do you generally let them soak?
Keep the videos coming. Let's hope that people understand why the prices are what they are. Keep the fishing videos coming You have earned some time off.
I just found your channel and I love what you do it's very entertaining you don't see many channels about sea fishing or catching lobsters and for you to explain what you do and show us different things you catch is always fun keep the camera rowing I never really subscribe to channels but you got me lol keep filming the great content it's rare to see what goes out on the ocean and sea floor !!❤❤❤
I love how you take what you can and need, and those fish or breeding lobsters or oversized or undersize you can't, get a snack and put back... Lobster catching with humanism (putting them back if need be and ensuring that there are future lobsters)
In Rhode Island the crabs are a big extra for the day boats . 12 to 15 dollars a dozen ; the seafood stores are getting 3 dollars a pound . The offshore lobster boats in the fall start getting 10,000 pounds and more . A big buyer is in Point Judith
Would love to hear more about lobstering and the dangers of it. Just read about the young man who is currently missing and how it’s possible to get tangled in the ropes. I think people have a glamorous image of lobstermen and women in their heads and don’t realize how treacherous it can be
I’ve been selling lobsters for the last month in a half like crazy as I work in a store- pretty cool to see the other side and probably cooked-sold lobsters from your boat = pretty awesome. Stay safe out there.
I just started lobstering myself recently, grew up my whole life on the maine coast and always was more into carpentry and stonework. Lobstering is a great time tho as long as the smell of bait and seasickness arent a problem for you. I find it so weird that there is no market for those big ass stone crabs. Even if we pull up a trap with no lobsters, you can bet your ass there will be a handful of big ol crabs in there. If there was a market that would be easy money lol! I sometimes take a couple home for diner, but no one else seems to give a shit about em. Toss hundreds back every day.
WOW... I'm an idiot sometimes.... He was asking if i could see the blue and here i am nodding like he can see me through the screen. 😑😑🤦♀️🤦♀️ Lol 🤣🤣🤣
Jacob, I spent my young life on the Gulf of Mexico. Now I'm a grandmother. Found your channel 8 weeks ago. My 32 year old twins have been watching you for years. I told them about you 🤣. Oh yeah Mom, we love him. I'm so behind. Absolutely love what you do. Such fun for me. Good job!!!

I really enjoy watching your videos!! Entertaining and informative! 😅
I love how gentle you are when you return the females with eggs back into the water.

you sort through the cages so fast I feel like I'm watching in at least 1.5x speed. Amazing how efficient you guys are!
I know! I’d be so sea sick too.
Jacob , are these the same stone crabs that are caught down here in Florida?

It's amazing to think that other than diesel engines and metal traps this is pretty much the same job guys were doing in the gulf 200 years ago.
Fun fact, the lumpfish is on the national currency for Iceland. Many countries consider it a delicacy, and in countries that don't have sturgeon they eat the female's eggs (roe) as caviar.

Thanks for a wonderful video and giving treats. 😊
something is just absolutely funny about the crabs getting yeeted
Great video! Thank you for taking us with you!
Agreed, we've had a pile of crazy fog here in Shag Harbor, Nova Scotia, as well. Keep up the good work guys
I'm a novice fishermen, I just love it. I have no way to fish anymore so I get my thrills watching your channel.
Looks like a FUN job! For about a half hour! Much respect to ANYONE in America that still works hard for the money. Thank you guys!
Thanks for these long-form ride-alongs... great stuff!
My sister and I near SoPo really enjoy these videos! The rain has been smothering recently, lotsa fog.
Very ethical fisherman! Keep up the great work, be safe!
My fave part is when you put the snack in their claw. It looks like they are celebrating. Woo-hoo!
Such hard work, you all are amazing
Jacob, I just love your enthusiasm.
"Circle of Life" starts humming "In the Jungle" 😂
That fog is crazy. We get occasional fog in Florida, but it's nothing like that, and it burns off by 10 am. I've seen such fog in movies, but I thought it was Hollywood exaggerating.
I live on Nantucket and its been foggy like this most mornings for a few weeks straight now, i grew up in NY and had only seen fog like this a few times, now its normal
Here you can see valleys filled worth fog on satellite sometimes. But nothing this thick. I didn’t even know it was possible for it to get that foggy.
I live in the middle of the UK & can remember driving at night in fog so thick I couldn't see the road. I had to open my door so I could see the white line in the middle of the road & follow it. This was the only way I could stay on the road & not in a hedge!
Scary shit!
Not going to lie, I like these longer videos.
The thing about a job that requires a particular set of skills, is that when you are good at it, you make it look easy. You all make this look easy!
I could watch this all day. Like a treasure hunt! Plus I LOVE lobster!😊
Love you’re videos ❤ You guys are awesome to watch. It’s nice to see Real men, doing Real work 🥰❤
I love the lump fish. I’ve seen the small ones in aquariums.
That diesel sounds incredible on headphones.
Best channel on TH-cam! Thanks for taking us along with you.
Wonderful watermen videos. I had two great uncles who lived on Monhegan for decades. They operated the general store there and fished lobsters during the winter. Couple of tough old coots. Best to you and crew.

I started following you because of the lobster Bowie on TicToc. I enjoy how you teach with your videos and just show us anything cool.
Keep the videos coming. Let's hope that people understand why the prices are what they are. Keep the fishing videos coming You have earned some time off.
When lobster fishing is the side hustle that enables a fantastic TH-cam channel!
You're supposed to lick the suction cup first, Jacob!
mmm, toothy!
😂😂😂
I appreciate your knowledge that you share. It is fascinating what can catch in your traps
looking forward to the underwater drone footage, especially of the shipwreck.
My dad would have loved watching these videos
You have a good crew. The guy next to you, during a lull, took the time to clean the small Buoys. Love it!❤
"Ow! He WILL take a snack! LOL" lol
Jacob, love your channel!!!
Funny , educational, man of the people . Great work captain
That transition between day 1 and day 2 was smooottthhhh
I just happened upon your videos and they are addicting!! So interesting! Thanks for sharing.
Love watching your videos!
Thank you for your show always so very interesting even though you do the same thing over and over it is always interesting thank you again
Thank you for not adding music. It's a very good video, thank you
You should show us a bit of the sale of the lobster, I'd be interested to know how that process works.
Thank you for all your work for Us!
*Thank You* for the video and educational content Jacob. It is greatly appreciated. 👍👍
I enjoy your videos, and your respect for all creatures

this is what sustainable fishing looks like
I have soo much respect for you and your team! I know this is such a hard job, it can literally stink, and sometimes you can taste the stink… 😂
I went on a cruise though Maine up to Canada and it was so unbelievably foggy most of the ride
N.Ber here....ha
Thank you! I enjoy your videos and shorts. May God bless your lobster season. ❤❤❤
Love your videos. I had a cousin who lived in Gray Maine. She used to visit me in Florida
In Rhode Island the crabs are a big extra for the day boats . 12 to 15 dollars a dozen ; the seafood stores are getting 3 dollars a pound . The offshore lobster boats in the fall start getting 10,000 pounds and more . A big buyer is in Point Judith
Spent last week in Winter Harbor. Love your home base.

Enjoy your videos. ✌️
You should put a clock up in the top right. It would highlight how you are working through the day. Love your channel. Thanks.
Keep up the hard work u guys really appreciate you following the rules ❤❤❤
“Jacob stop filming, do some work yeah” 😂😂😂
Enjoy your videos mate! ❤to you and your family from 🇬🇧 👍🇺🇸🎣
I see all of those lobsters in the crates waiting to be sold and I think of Leon...😮
I’ve been selling lobsters for the last month in a half like crazy as I work in a store- pretty cool to see the other side and probably cooked-sold lobsters from your boat = pretty awesome. Stay safe out there.
Love the videos, cheers from Colombia 🇨🇴
Don't forget to watch the adds so this man can get paid more💪
Lobstering looks like it can be alot of fun
I just started lobstering myself recently, grew up my whole life on the maine coast and always was more into carpentry and stonework. Lobstering is a great time tho as long as the smell of bait and seasickness arent a problem for you.
I find it so weird that there is no market for those big ass stone crabs. Even if we pull up a trap with no lobsters, you can bet your ass there will be a handful of big ol crabs in there.

tHAnk you for a great video. I love this channel.
Thank you for your great videos 🦞
send em away with a snacc!
that needs to be on a shirt.
happy momma lobster with a fish in her claw getting tossed back to the sea :D
What is the typical depth that lobsters are found at?
A mainah doing mainah stuff. Love your content.
WOW... I'm an idiot sometimes....
He was asking if i could see the blue and here i am nodding like he can see me through the screen. 😑😑🤦♀️🤦♀️
Lol 🤣🤣🤣
hey jacob cool video as always this content is memeable
Love your channel. Get to enjoy lobster fishing and not have to go to sea. lol
Great video Jacob!
