Fishing In The Extreme: Alaska And The English Channel | Catch
3,389,657
Published 2018-03-18
The best crews of the West Coast head for Alaska. There, they battle pelting rain, rogue waves and icy decks to haul up hundreds of pounds of herring eggs. The eggs will later be sold to the lucrative Japanese market but the stakes are high - fishing deaths account for approximately a third of all occupational fatalities in Alaska each year. Aboard the Sendettie, a factory ship, tenacious fishermen sail the English Channel for weeks at a time while battling the elements.

When I was stationed in Adak for 22 months, I spent 27 days of leave to go onto a cod boat called the "Paula Hendry" (since sold and moved to Southern Florida). It was the hardest and most dangerous work I have ever done. Based on that one experience alone, I believe that the men on these boats deserve far more credit that they'll ever get.

Proud of these workers because it’s not an easy job especially when the sea is furious!
-
I love this narrator! His narration on the Deadliest Roads series is so entertaining and his impersonations will tickle you 🤣

The Herring skipper is a yeller, the worst kind of skipper. Chaos requires calmness as does good communication. Driving panic into your crew is a formula for disaster.
-
I love how EVERY fisherman is noticed and not just the crabbers.... 🤘.... Absolutely one of the most dangerous jobs in the world 🌎.... Keep it up brothers....and sisters 💪
-
Beautiful camera work! Love how calm and intelligent the French captain is. That's the type of leader you want.
-
Quite a difference in calm between the French skipper and the American!

By far the funnest fishery ever. I miss Herring fishing. We fished one October and the openers were every other day for 20 min a day (so 20 min. Every 2 days). After a month we never got our net wet. On the last day of the season at minute 19 we let the net go and ended up catching 70,000 lbs. of herring. Cruising around those bays in October is beautiful and so peaceful. Best month of my life.

more power to these men

I live in Brighton & Hove, well Hove is where my flat is and the English Channel is on my doorstep. Used to swim in it daily when I was a lad. They should of had a little more of Mitch, he was always smiling as seemed a funny chap.

Man what a great find this was. I worked on a couple of those boats. I also worked on the first float plane shown (red/yellow), stripping paint off it for a repainting.

The Maverick expanding its portfolio by fishing for herring, just a smart owner, keeping his boat & crew working.

Such a beautiful documentary!!!
-
Very interesting work and also very dangerous! The elements on the sea can change so fast that it takes skill to recognize dangers! Wonderful film and educational too. Thanks a million fish!

As a Bering Sea Captain this Captain is a screaming nut job....
-
This is an outstanding video with great narration, I never new that the smaller ships fished so close together. It's no wonder that near collisions and tangled nets can be a cause for a stressful day. That's not to say the adrenaline rush you get from all this fast paced action isn't intriguing. My hats off to the men and women who go to sea and do this type of work.
