lobstermen are NOT bering sea crabbers

[NOKUY]

ok this lobster wars show on Discovery is a fookin joke.

peeps gettin seasick on a pond ...lmfao

come on... lobster fishing to crab fishing is a "candle in the sun"...almost silly in comparison.

not a one of those guys could step foot on a bering sea crabber.

and they think they work a hard job.?. JOKE

im sorry, but it doesnt compare, and the show is junk...

......plus they dont even have "mike rowe" for commentary....haha

Someone's crabby today , sorry couldn't help it.

 

[HCSmyth]

I agree Alaska crabbing is more hardcore. But that camera man that got sea sick was pretty crazy.

ha ha...sorry, but i dont have much remorse for for pussies that cant work.

plus u get seasick w/ a camera and cant work..im sorry, but no respect...suk it up and dont be a bitch!

Ive seen all that crap before, and all "seasick" usually is is a copout to get off a boat.

u ovecome seasick in far less than a day if u suck it up, ...just a pussy who doesn't wanna be there...wah wah

I saw this show and was thinking the same thing. Just doesn't compare to the Bering Sea show.

 

[meduser180056]

I saw another show where they catch tuna down in Australia. Didn't look to dangerous either except for the diver that has to dive into the netted area with sharks in there.

LOL,yeah,not to dangerous at all,I mean he's only in there with sharks!!!
Yukon,
I dont like that show either,but to say the Atlantic Ocean is a pond is a little stretch dont ya think??I understand the Bering Sea is the roughest piece of water on the planet but that doesnt make lobstermen pussies!More than enuf fisherman lay on the bottom of the Atlantic to justify there job being deemed hazerdous.Lets not forget,IT WAS THE CAMERAMAN that got sick,not a fisherman.heres a little piece I grabbed real quick,I didnt see the opelia fishermen with this death rate.
"From 1993 to 1997, the occupational fatality rate for lobstermen in Maine was 14 per 100,000 licensed lobstermen, more than 2.5 times the national average (4.8 per 100,000 workers) for all industries."

im glad u guys agree!

ive worked on bering sea crabbers and gulf of alaska halibut boats, ......mainly halibut, but i just have a hard time watching the loberstemen act like the have such a hard job.

i hardley ever see them even get wet, and and they dont work 72 hour shifts.

...and get seasick on a calm pond

...and they bitch and cry and holler about how hard they work more than crabbers do in 1000 times worse conditions.

lmfao....a crabber on a lobster boat would throw everyone overboard

 

[NOKUY]

mmmm..nuthin like working und HPS lights!

 

[RED145]

LOL!!!!
Come on with yer nonsense,a man is a man,I seen plenty of "crabbers" turn pussy and jump ship at the next port!!And if you worked the boats then you know this to be true.Maybe a craber from alaska could throw a lobsterman off the boat,maybe the crabber would get his clock cleaned,hard tellin not knowin.But by NO STRETCH are bering fisherman any tuffer than any other commercial fisherman,they are all in the water at natures disposal.

 

[daisy jane]

Haha I know what you mean NOKUY. I didn't really like the Deadliest Catch but they had it a lot harder than these guys (and one girl). But have you seen Tuna Wranglers? Those guys do some crazy stuff. They have to catch sharks using their hands and then manage to coax them out of their nets. They also sew the torn spots in the net underwater. I don't like any of those shows, but at least watching people deal with sharks is interesting.

And ya, I happen to have a little crush on Mike Rowe So I don't mind him as a narrator.

ok good call...sort of, but bering sea fishermen are FAR tougher....and u can ask any fisherman in any ocean.

ive seen peeps almost 30 years old literally cry until they got back to dock.

ive seen peeps shake and shiver for 3 days and then suddenly pull their head out their ass and be 1 or 2 of the best people i ever worked with

ive seen peeps act tuff and puss out after 1 day...then squat in their bunk till dock

.......its almost scary just to go out into the gulf of alaska....

once u are brave enuff to work/ live and work on the bering sea the ill give u sum props.

all oceans arent the same

I couldnt agree more.
Ive been out west in ak.....worked the rail plenty.....but I consider myself no more 'manly' then the fellows fishing the banks of the atlantic.

yukon.....what are some of the F/Vs you were on? Bering or around kodiak.

OMT ..u know i cant safely do/say that

... my captian and boat are out in "port lions" ... the boat i was on it sank/burned ... w/ seveal good friends on board.

my cabin was a small walk from womens bay.

my capt. sold me land and the cabine there on kodiak for a min. then baught it back when i needed money. (im a fool it was less tha 1 grand an acre on 5 acres ....and less than 1/4 mile from beach)

 

[Old Man Time]

Port lions eh.....know the people that owned the lodge there?

Sound like your talkin bout the flats....5 acres....close to the beach....there wouldnt have been a little bar down the road was there?

 

[NOKUY]

a little bear hehe....

 

[NOKUY]

omt we were usually on an 89 foot halibut lonliner in the gulf

 

[NOKUY]

your new boss ...hehe

 

[Tom Hill]

I have tens of thousands of nautical miles by the keel as captain, been in heavy shit, & wholeheartedly agree with you Yuke. None compare to the stout-hearted men of the pacific northwest who quietly earn their living from the sea, 365, regardless. You spend enough time out there, & you'll be spending some time wishing you were somewhere else

 

[Guest]

Every fisherman wishes he were somewhere else and a hammerhead is a hammerhead be it off sable island or kodiak.Just another fishin' idiot mouthing off 'cause that's what we usually do best.When its blowin' 60 knts its blowin' 60 knts.I'd rather be a pussy digging clams from my canoe, it'll make my carbon footprint smaller than a piping plovers.TV is gay anyway, go lift some wieghts and adjust your bed of nails.PEACE!!!MUCHA LUCHA!!
