Sitka Herring 2011: Infinite Grace loses a big one!

[Alaskrab]

iNSEINE. HA. The Arctic Fox is doing herring now too?

[BootsBTI]

A note on the filming. I helped shoot part of the video. We know the footage is rough. There was a lot going on at the time and catching it all on video was kind of a secondary notion. We figured the money shot was worth the rest. Thanks for watching. No I don't personally know Tom.

[automatickrystal]

My uncle Tom is majorly blessed to keep gettin' huge catches and to still have his life and the lives of his crew members :) do you personally know them? I live in Oregon so I don't really get to see any of my AK family, sadly. Love the videos you have though. AWESOME.

F***, I love this video!... ;)

[patrickcharlie88]

Haha, cute little "Seine Boats"... :)

[patrickcharlie88]

Camera motion captures the intensity of a classic "Herring Opening"...

[patrickcharlie88]

Rigging lets go at 2:02 ... :)

UHEH! HUTCHQUATT!

Note to camera man: Slow down. Instead of swinging the camera wildly back and forth, do it slowly. When pausing on something you want to show, actually pause, for more then a nano second. Just saying.

[patrickcharlie88]

Love the music! Which tune is that?

[DangleCity]

Saw that boat in the homer yard this past September. Talk about a beautiful boat!

[stpaul7]

Oh great Music went perfect with thte Video!!!

[stpaul7]

LMAO REMINDS ME OF THE MOVIE JAWS WHEN THEY ALL WENT OUT TO HUNT THE SHARK LMAO!!!!

[southeastalaska2005]

AWESOME tribute to life in Sitka! Especially the view from 1:50

[kmg501]

Didn't watch the whole video because the camera work was annoying and I immediately muted the music but just watching the first 90 seconds it seems to me that there are some pretty dumb regulations at work causing this mess.

[Alaskrab]

@kmg501 you're kind of a jerk - and obviously not a fisherman.

[kmg501]

@Alaskrab

Yes because a dangerous close quarters race with expensive equipment and lives is such a great idea. Who in their right mind would ever criticize such a thing.

/sarcasm

[Alaskrab]

Its a way of life. And those who do it LOVE it. Not to mention make a pretty good living. Be as sarcastic as you want. You're waaaay out of your element.

[spunspinner]

it's all a great testament to their skills at fishing with a little luck to boot. Trying to lay you line and beat out the other boats as the fish come in, while hoping your float doesn't pass that line in the bay that the coast guard set as a boundary

[haidaboyktn2004]

U hafta be greedy in that fishery cause there's only 4 or 5 openings

[Zydecosis]

Infinite Grace is none too graceful here!

[bobnala]

Good Ole Greed

[rwmalm97]

Great Video!

[BootsBTI]

Whoa! So crazy! Looks like fun, maybe I'll move to Sitka and buy a seiner! I mean why not! Right?

[hiddenthink]

Nice video.

Did we get a record catch this year too?

Is the quota going to be raised again for next year?

[beringse]

Damn...great footage man

[1aquilachrysaetos1]

So how exactly did this happen?

(also, I agree with the others. . . please change the music.)

[thomasquall]

@1aquilachrysaetos1 The safety line to the boom snapped, all the weight shifted to one side in seconds. Lucky it didnt flip

[nativejake11]

tom only you know how to push the limit!

[Trixtergent]

You have to be careful! Greed kills!

[GotBait]

Awesome footage. Nice save guys! Glad to hear everyone was ok.

[Selchy]

Friggin awesome footage watching the whole thing as it happened. Everyone sure was lucky to not have been hurt. Good thing no one was on the starboard side of the net pile. If someone was they must have had wings on their feet. So glad she righted herself... with help. No one truly understands the feeling of losing or almost losing your boat until it happens to you. We can imagine what it's like, but it's not the same. Grace was definitely infinite with this event.

[CaptnSlippery]

Million dollar boat.......100 dollar side stay for the boom. Attention too detail please.

[highdesertblues]

No bucking strap?

[highdesertblues]

Considering the price is next to nothing you should change the music to something more humiliating.This is more comical than thrilling.Like "Three Blind Mice" or something more descriptive.Hahaha!Crew shares could be in the negative after expenses.LOL!

[skysirrico]

You got some good shots, but I already used this song in a herring video. Come on, be a little more creative.
