[stripes5150]

I'm shitting myself in bed watching this. for real.

[plansman]

Wouldn't want to be there.

[Solja2010]

dude we wanna hear the original background sound not some shitty music!

[Blakspire]

Its not called a hurricane its gale force.

[ak99692]

@Blakspire anywhere in the world it is either a typhoon or hurricane, in Alaska it is a storm or as you pointed out a gale force wind.

[ak99692]

@Blakspire anywhere in the world it is either a typhoon or hurricane, in Alaska it is a storm or gale force wind as you have pointed out.

[Jackle61]

@ak99692 Gale force winds start as low as 39mph, then there are different levels of gales. Fresh, Strong, and Heavy. The heavy gale is only up to 63mph, where a hurricane starts at 73mph and goes up from there. I'm just saying.

[Bondidog]

@ak99692 Not quite. There are some places where they are called cyclones.

[albinio157]

What boat is this? Offshore or shorebase?

[ak99692]

@albinio157 shorebase for Westward.

[ak99692]

@albinio157 shorebased for Westward Seafoods.

[albinio157]

@ak99692 Is it the Alaska Command? Had a few buddies that worked on there but one is on the Pacific Prince now.

[ak99692]

@albinio157 Yup! Shawn was here the previous season before this video was taken.

[albinio157]

@ak99692 Is Paul Garcia still over there? I worked with him for about a year on the Gladiator. If he's still there, tell him he's a homo for me. lol.

[ak99692]

@albinio157 Yeah Paul is still here, I will let him know!

[mysticmagic4760]

Great video!

[jcx420]

Looks like some fun kayaking!

[ak99692]

used one of youtubes free songs and don't remember the title, sorry!

[razvancfrforever]

Can you please tell me the name of the song ?

[cassdady]

Man, Good ole days running to each set.

[koczisek]

Great video - it shows the reality better than any other here. I've been to ~8.5B and 4-5 sea at most on Baltic but it already gives a clue, especially on a 15m yacht, where you're constantly washed including times when you got to do your work on fordeck. BTW your cutter shows a great prowess - almost no rolling in this conditions, maybe because of the load.

[ToomuchBTUstoday]

Here in Canada and the US the Great Lakes all have their own traits with Lake Superior being the most wicked of all were I spent many years was Lake Erie.This lake has taken many a life it's shallow and rocks or seep as it's called I believe.When a storm comes and it can quickly it can make things miserable because Lake Erie is volatile for these reasons.The tugs are designed for the lake and have been known to beach on the sand to ride out the storm and then back out again.

[sid77777]

good video spoiled by the music

[Multi1033]

nive vid

[spikehosinski]

Looks like one hell of a ride, I've always wanted to try it.

[ToomuchBTUstoday]

Do you use the nets for a sea anchor,where you full with the catch in the hull?I can feel adrenaline on the hook.I've never this but I like to jump out of planes.More power to ya... 

[ak99692]

@ToomuchBTUstoday We were full and headed to town with 1.25 million pounds of pollock!

[ToomuchBTUstoday]

North sea must be a bitch'Great Lakes waves are mosly smaller but there's a lot more it tires you out thanks for showing I come from Europe originally.

[QuantumBasis]

Would definetly be nervous as hell

[haloskullhunting]

whats up with the flares

[ak99692]

@haloskullhunting That was the red light on the camera reflecting against the wheelhouse windows. No flares.

[atticgnom]

Cool video, makes me miss being on the Bering Sea

[a3matrix]

Wow. Total madness. Really digging the music the video is set to. Can someone tell me the name of the band and song?

Thanks

[layed]

one of the coolest vids ever, congrats on surviving.

[Dimehead420]

Fuckin A

[GuildF40]

I got so into this I thought I was on watch lol

Great vid

[MegaSharky09]

good video mate im a trawlerman in cornwall england i have a modern 50ft vessel and i wouldnt fancy fishing in your part of the world respect to you all

[delrioa]

Nice video and a very nasty weather.

[carp8332]

Ok I was on that vessel!! I was driving and another crew member took the video.. No no 200 mph it was a sustained wid of 90 knots with gust of 120 knots. This was coming across Unalga pass where the Pacific Ocean meets the Bearing Sea. All these people making negative post are probaly little boys who get sea sick in the bathtub and have Miley Cirus on thier wall..

[bonziisthebestever]

Yeah you tell them carp hahaha

[Mrchacha55]

@carp8332

Salute ! WOW. Brave men.

[FargoForums]

@carp8332 Oh yeah dude? You've been in the bering sea but you dont know how to spell it? I'm pretty sure that if you drove through the bering sea you've looked at a map and saw how it was spelled 100 times.

[ak99692]

@FargoForums Carp8332 has bee fishing up here for about 20 years!!! I know him and a lot of his friends so don't be a hater

[kornofulgur]

foR

[kornofulgur]

five stars foe the vid.

stay safe.

[matpicot]

oh man, but that's crazy! How could the boat resist? each wave over the bow, that's incredible... respect to the crew...!

[radiotelescopio]

amazing video, I would die to be in a ship like that in a storm like that and survive to tell others about it. In which country or which place maybe I can pay for a trip with the captain in a storm like that?

[555phantom]

gr8 VIDEO. But u fucked it all up with the music!

[ak99692]

Couldn't post it with the music I made video with because of copyright bullshit!! sorry

[tschaffan]

Nice video - thats a storm that will keep everyone awake - makes me miss being on the mighty Bering though. Do you know which boat and year this was?

[ak99692]

This was Feb. 27, 2009 just north of Unimak Island heading toward Dutch Harbor. My captain asked that I not release the name of the boat.

[CalifMoF]

What do you feel during all that??

[ak99692]

all you keep saying to yourself is "OH SH&%!!!" and hope your boat comes back up after each wave!

[CalifMoF]

I wish you then that your boat will always come back after each wave

[haloskullhunting]

@ak99692 ya i know like holy crap i was in it with a salmon boat and i was like o crap!!!!! like i got air born in the bunk

[skywolv]

A classic quote in an Alaskan newspaper while a hurricane was hitting the lower 48

by a resident of an Aleutian island, "Down there they call it hurricane. Up here we just call it wind and deal with it.  200 mph is pretty common around here."

[hydrohyde79]

200 mph is quite common is it, what fuckin' plant are you on dude because it isn't plant earth...

[skywolv]

That was a quote in a newspaper, word for word. i'm only repeating it. Whether it was true or not, I don't know. The Aleutians do get wind, and lots of it. I lived further north in Nome, and the record wind there is around 85. I don't know what plants you are on, but I'm from planet earth.

[hydrohyde79]

i'm on the marijuana, the ganja and i'm from planet earth, sorry for the spelling mistake, i'd say that newspaper was exaggerating quite a bit, anyways i'm going to roll a joint and leave this planet, i'll be back in an hour or so, later...

[Scrige]

how old are you that you can't even spell a 6 letter word?

It's PLANET.

plant is a form of vegetation.

I doubt he lives on one of those.

[Randyc2800]

@skywolv

Retarded for a newspaper to have a moronic statement like that. Hurricanes are much stronger storms and actually hit where people live, not some deserted rock no one gives a s--t about in the Bering Sea. Oh yeah, and 200 MPH? Sorry, not in the Bering Sea. Hurricanes do that and have been recorded over 225MPH in gusts.
