Being retired for the last six years, I've come to the conclusion, that I like watching people work more than my best day at work. Thanks for sharing. If you love what you do it's not a job but a life long fishing trip.
Hi Koslund. Glad we can provide some entertainment for you. I definitely agree that its hard to call this a job some days, its just so enjoyable.
Good one!
I just go back over them & watch them all again, and again. It's so amazing and relaxing to me. Love the Rock fish. Good job
Glad you like them Fay! Thanks for the support.
The family that fishes together stays together,,, hard work, smart work, Family work.
100% agree! Thank you Mac!
Nice to see a fam that gets along, mom n dad raised u boys right!!! Shout out to mom n dad. I run my fathers spiny lobster boat down in Key West, I wish we had the relationship Dad and son have!!!

Dude
I am from Tenakee Springs, Alaska. Juneau Alaska.
Your videos are great. This is our Alaskan Heritage. A True Hardworking Fishing Family.
The videos are great to see. It is funny living here, relating to this life/job, and then enjoying the videos so much.
The trip north, was a great video. You guys should take trips like that, just for the video footage.
You, are a good, Smart, hardworking person. and a Good Son. I give you my absolute best wishes, for all of your life going forward.
Thanks so much, Sterling! It was really an awesome journey, hopefully we'll be able to do it again someday. We also enjoy watching other Alaskan do their thing.
Great team work guys plus a great video.
Stay safe.
Thanks gazellis, good to see you, and thanks for watching!
hello,,,i think this is the 10th video ive watched now....luv the family work, nice nature clips and more, keep up the great work ... :)
Holy crap, sure glad my buyer took the fish in the round, not gutted and scaled, hope you got a good price for that.
Having grown up on 2000 acre beef ranch with an antagonistic brother, I'm always impressed when an older brother helps his younger learn the ropes.
I thought they are brothers but actually father and son.
Awesome family business that cares about the product they provide. Great video as always. Thanks for taking us along!
Our pleasure! So glad to bring you along and offer our best.
Best Fishing Team and a Great Family Keep up the great work and please keep them coming and always bring LOTS of coffee to work LOVE you Guys
Thanks Jack! Coffee definitely keep the arms and legs moving some days!
If it doesn't go in past the barb then it doesn't count! Lol.
I can think of half a dozen boats that'd be happy to have your mum work the deck. She might not be as fast as Tristan but she's consistent and knows all of the jobs. Good on her!
Yea, she does great! I enjoy their banter, lol.
Beautiful looking catch guys,really well done,good luck for your adventures and hope you stay safe,love your videos

Incredible! What great episodes! I think I missed my calling in life! I love hard work and family time!
Everyone who likes to fish thinks they want to commercial fish but 99 outta 100 who get first chance quit fast first season, sleep deprivation for 6 straight months alone plus sea sickness and most people are prone to it and those that are cannot commwrcial fish on deck lol next is thenpain, on land we fight gravity one way up and down, but on rocking vessel yiure muscles tendons ligaments etc literally get torn broken down and rebuilt as you fight gravity while lifting and working hard 20 hrs or more a day on feet on rocking vessel where you're fighting gravity 180 degrees on rocking vessel for first time ghat your muscles haven't ever done on land, it hurts agonising pain head to toe your first season and maybe second, very VERY few survive this agony but those that do now have the muscle memory and have adapted body by tearing breaking down rebuilding every muscle tendon and ligament in your body and you'll hurt entire career but ghat first year or two is a deep total body agony agony on planet can endure especially when coupled with sleep deprivation and conditions conditions deck, like if north of San Francisco you'll freeze all year even in summer its windy cold and winter's are cruel cold and further north of sf you go the coldernit gets and fewer hrs of daylight per day in winter and north of wa you'll have icicle boogers off nose all winter and not see sun for half a year and be in total darkness 20+ hrs a day in most fisheries lol and this job shown is mild and easy I contrast to many other or most other commercial fisheries I've done this and Dungeness in wa or ca and rest of crabs in Alaska and salmkn in these states etc and herring squid etc and cod and rock fish etc and albacore from Oregon *(summer) to Samoa (winter) we stay on biomass of fish year round) and THAT job was funnestand hardest a fishing job gets just me on deck and one guy in wheelhouse on albacore jig boat pulling in 200-400+ albacore per day by hand on deck 20+ hrs a day 320 days a year, few humans CAN do this work but every one who likes to fish thinks they want to but in m 35 yr career on pacific and Bering 9 outta ten or closer to 99 outta 100 people I've seen get first opportunityto break into industry quit or fired very VERY fast most end up breaking down physically which leads to mental breakdown and they end up embarrassed limping up the dock upon our first trip back to dock lol the one and only fishery id say a newb had shot at is husband and wife or 2 man famiky team on a nor cal ornoregin small salmon trawler live non boat work the summer 6 month season bank all dough can pay offnhoat in first year nor two barring anything disastrous, and ears fishery like these where boat returns to dock every night are very rare and the only re a shot somwone has at breaking in industry with no past career experience and possibly surviving and maybe even making some dough that's my advice after 35 yr career because it's the ONLY time I've seen it done
Awesome video guys! Love the fishing smack talk! :-) Always remember to watch out for those hooks! Cheers from Australia.
Lol, thanks Steve. Glad you enjoyed the video. We have a good time.
Nice day of fishing and beautiful day....
Anita good afternoon! I know this is another two year old video but that is why I'm asking. You are handling rockfish differently here than you do now. I'm wondering why you gut them here and not now? From past experience I always found it easier to fillet in the "Round," because it kept rigidity in the body and just made it easier, but I was and am no professional. This video sounds like you were finding your way with the processor because they are custom processing for you, not a Marketing Board? I don't think I fully realized that you sell all of your own product and I have a lot of respect for that. The pride you and your family feel for what you do makes me smile. Is your family all you, your husband and brothers? Have a great Sunday. I continue my fight with kidney failure today. Your show is so uplifting to me it actually helps me relax
These fish were being shipped fresh to a buyer in California. Alaska regs allow us to gill and gut onboard but not process (fillet, freeze, etc.) onboard without a processing license and inspections.
@@EISAlaska ahhhh understood! Thank you so much. Sorry for being long winded, I am Canadian and a fisherman! 🤣😂
Can’t get over catching so many per line nice work
Sometimes they are chompin'! Other times not so much. Thanks Air!
Great stuff guys! Keep it up. Love watching, and the explanations.
Nice, spot for rockfish. Good day.
Matt the proper groom inspector 😂...what paperworks😂😂
Such great fish to eat. I recomend anyone who wants to order fish, order rockfish. You wont be disappointed at all!
Appreciate the comment jp!
@@EISAlaska if the ocean allows it, I'm going to be down in Depoe Bay Oregon catching lingcod and rockfish
hope some of those fish make it to the stores around where we live cus we know they aren,t farm raised...good job.
Thanks Thomas. These are headed to farmers markets in California and Nevada. We do sell direct to customers across the US. You can shop online at eisalaska.com
Nice catch , y'all going to keep on until I learn something ! I hope your weather holds out . It seems like your disposition seems better when it's this calm .See ya' next time .
Hey Steve! Glad you're enjoying the videos. Its definitely more relaxing when its calm out. Easier to work too.
looked like the perfect day
Thanks for another great video
Was that Gimli I heard Tristan? (0:47)👍 love to watch you guys work with your skills and knowledge! Hope you boys enjoyed your dinner with Mom Thanks
Always enjoy your show
Glad to hear it!
Those totes have multiple uses we just use those to build a massive igloo here in gig harbour Washington during our snowfall last week
Yeah, those totes are really durable. Whenever they are on sale we grab a few, and we use them for everything. Gear storage, fish and bait totes.
I'm sure you know the trick with a piece of light fishing line. You can remove a buried hook painlessly. It is so fast, it's out before you realize someone is taking it out.
I haven't heard of this actually, can you elaborate?
@@EISAlaska It's simple and painless. I got one almost in my nipple. It was a size 10. I didn't want the guy to try, but man, it really was quick and painless. I found a good video that shows it. Its not the Houston one but same technique. How to: Remove an embedded hook yakaddicts
@@EISAlaska wht it does is pulls the the hook tight against the back of the wound away from the barb similar to how you remove the hooks with your metal handle. This opens the wound and you pull out while holding down on the top of the hook in a circular motion. It happens in about a tenth of second.
@@virginian7317 Cool! Great to know. Gonna check out that video. Thanks Robert!
Nice work fellas
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love it, You guys are the best.
Thanks, Tom!
This was so educational! Thank you so much!
I love you alls method of fishing just love it you, all crutch it all the time
Brings back a lot of fun memories
We enjoyed your video guys. What a catch awesome.
Big thanks!
You are a well oiled machine in action. That was a very productive day.
Thank you for the insight.
Welcome, Bill!
Love to watch your video👍👍👍
Awesome video! I would love to see your technique of filleting them when the gutted and gilled like that. I've only done them whole. Keep it up guys!!!!
Hi Spanky. We fillet our fish whole also. These fish we are cleaning are headed to farmers markets in Vegas and San Francisco.
@@EISAlaska I figured that. Sometime if you could show us how you fillet Black Bass, Lingcod, Butts and salmon. Everybody has a different technique and I’d love to see yours! Thanks again!
@@spankyr.5544 You bet! Check out some of our catch, clean cook videos and the salmon canning video. I think we fillet fish in all those videos with the exception of ling and halibut.
We used Bedadine to clean our wounds, works like a champ.
Love your videos, would be awsome to have a working holliday at your place, you all seem like really nice people. Greetings from Denmark
👏🥰❤️💚😍👍 watching from Philippines 🇵🇭
oh loock at that bleading properly now
nice work
Man, I bet that can turn into a tangled mess. Cool to watch
Good exercise.
Nice Video! Keep UP the good work
Thanks, will do!
Are recreational anglers able to use a similar set up in Alaska? Looks like a good way to keep the family fed 👍🏼👍🏼
Nice day fishing 👍
Yes it was!
Watch this fishing activity it's joy, full luck. Like production proses 👍👍👍
Many many thanks!
What sort of hooks are you using? And do you sharpen them ever. Also, amazing that anything bites on those lures. Do you ever bait them up when the bite is poor?
Hi, we are using EZ baiter 15/0 hooks with a chunk of PVC tube on them. We never sharpen them unless the tip is broken off and we do bait them with squid sometimes.
Man I hope you're getting top dollar for the cleaning... on the other hand it is you guys!
You are a great team
A lot better than the guys on Deadliest Catch.
Yous are lucky such easy work
bet those bits would be good with shrimp chopped up.
a cod fish is always great to have.
Nothing beats a fresh catch for dinner.
Happy Independence Day
Yes I'm a veteran and celebrate my independence
God bless America
Bless you and thank you for your service. Happy and safe Fourth of July!
Love ur video's brother
тяжёлый труд,достойный улов,честные деньги.
thanks for your channel!
fisherman's ore is dangerous and labor.
Thank you for watching Maksimin!
when heading back in you made reference to 9 full totes, then I think you said 85 each. is that 85.00 $ each tote full ? great video as always !!!
Hi Ray. That was an estimate on weight. They were actually close to 100 pounds each, so not a bad afternoon fishing.
When I go fishing I offer the fanciest bait and lures with limited success. You throw bare hooks out and the fish swarm to bite. I'm surprised the fish dont just swim up and jump in the boat.
It would be cool to see some of the behind the scenes like packing the fish for market, and if you sell at a market, thanks. Great videos.
We had a species called "Brown Widow" rockfish off of the Sonoma, California coast . I wonder if they are the same ?
The fishery was wiped out by the large mid-water trawlers . May be coming back now ?
When removing the hooks from the fish you use that hand tool (also a hook). Can you explain how that works as the fish just seem to pop off. Does it brake the fish's jaw or is there some other reason the fish pop off. Thanks !
Hi Christopher. Its a gaff hook, and using a twisting motion in addition to gravity it turns the hook upside down where the barb doesn't catch on the jaw. And no, it doesn't break the jaw. Thanks for the question.
wondering the same thing. seemed kinda harsh, but, ah mean, ya gotta eat, so.....
Thanks for opennig a window to your lives. I have a lot of guestions, what is a rockfish is it a cod fish, you don't put any bait on? I would like to hear a little more about your boat what is your power trian? l
Hi Clark, thanks for joining us. Rockfish are of the genus Sebastes with over thirty types in Alaska. The main ones we harvest are black, dusky and dark rockfish with the occasional yelloweye. Cod are a different species and are bottom dwelling. Here we are harvesting cod. th-cam.com/video/Ezz2IK337so/w-d-xo.html. Both cod and rockfish can be caught without bait when they are on the bite and feeding aggressively. Our vessel is 35 foot and has a 220 hp. Lugger 6414T for a main. Very good on fuel and economical to run.
Super like 👍👍👍
Thank you! 👍
I wonder how many times a month the deck hands get a hook in hand .
Mainly just light pokes, never had a hook go though.
@@EISAlaska And you never want a hook to go in any deeper either ! I've been fishing for bass and big catfish with rod & reel and with trot lines( long lines ) almost all of my 63 years....never got a hook in past the barb until last fall. First- my boyfriend was no help ; and as we were a long way from medical help; I'M the one that had to push that big barb through my own thumb and cut off the barb. And it had gone in DEEP in the worst place it could, of course. Hurt so bad I thought I was gonna need some other clothes ! Nope, you don't want that barb !
Okay
Quick question. Why dont the fish float on water and not swim back down deep in when they accidentally fall in water?
They have an air bladder that expands when they come up fast. We have to keep all we catch because many won't survive if released.
I'm a retired electrician. I assume those hokey switch arrangements for the reeler motors are operating 12 volts, right?
They are, LOL. We have the stuff to build new boxes and rewire the jiggers, we just haven't gotten around to it. But they're all on breakers so at least that is covered.
I'm curios but how much you're getting paid per pound for those Rockfish?
can you share where you purchase your rockfish jigs id like to try them for Black Sea bass on the east coast off New Jersey
Thanks guys, What bait did you use ?
Nice my brother 🙏❤️🤝👍
Thanks for the visit!
Nice size blacks did you catch all them in 1 drift?
Hey Trumper. This was around 8 or 10 drifts. They seemed to biting pretty good that day.
Good fish
The old bleach water hand wash for wounds to kill that infection
Works like a charm. Also takes away the nasty sting from rockfish spines when you get poked.
Nice
Great post. You guys work your butt-off. Do ya/can you sell these as whole/frozen? My friend breeds/raises Lycan shepherds, and feeds his pack
according the BARF diet. Fress frozen raw fish, chicken, and game :)
now you can say he is hooked on the job
Are these fish filet at processing plant?
These go to a fresh market down in California. Packed in wetlok boxes with gel ice.
Were those all black rockfish?
Yes, Blaine.
Can I just ask and I don't want to offend you but I see your mum on the boat but no dad! Im new to channel and just wondered if you had lost your father along the way??.
And I've another question does your boat make that ice or do you have to buy it in?? Thanks so much and I hope I haven't offended anyone as I hope to ask you many questions about your job in the future, thank you andy Liverpool uk 👍
Hi Andy. No worries about asking. This is Len, the dad. I am working the forward machines, and have a blue sweatshirt and black hat on. Sometimes people think we are brothers, lol. Those are my boys working the back machine. We get our ice from the processor. If you are delivering your catch to them they supply it, otherwise they charge. It runs 125- 150 dollars a ton. Take care over there Andy, and thanks for joining us and feel free to ask us questions anytime.
@@EISAlaska wow im glad you're still upright!!🤣.
You have a great family there with really good work ethics the term 'he runs a tight ship' come to mind! Im gonna enjoy coming along with you guy's and yeah I am being careful where I tread what with this covid shite! I've been locked down now for what seems a bloody lifetime. On the other hand my m8s gotta fishing boat moored in Liverpool docks and were going out for a spot of fishing and maybe shrimp!
I'll let you know if it happens great to hear from you and I wish you nothing but good luck in your future ventures speak soon brother! Andy👍
Thanks Andy. Good luck out fishing. Hope you get some nice shrimp. Stay safe over there and keep us posted.
Muito bom excelente pescaria
On an average Rockfish Day, how many lbs. of fish do you haul in?
Multiple LOTR quotes. Yeah I'm in the right place!
Definitely!
How old is Tristen? I have a grandchild with that name.
very nice teaching..now let's see if he listens to you.
Have the fish all drowned?
They are not wriggling one bit... 😂
If there are so many rock fish why is the recreational limit at four per person?
