COMMERCIAL FISHING FOR RED SNAPPER

[samuelgordonelliott]

I love fishing. I love boats. I am a towbat skipper on the river and I build wooden boats for fun. Hoping the snapper fishing will be good once te red tide passes. Looking fwd to next year.

I understand that you have to feed your families and you are out there breaking your back and that you probably have been doing this type of work for generations, but I have been offshore fishing "recreationaly" for 25 yrs and the reason I'm told why we cant keep but 2 snaps is because the commercial catch gets the lionshare of the quota.. plus we get less than 60 days before the nmfs close the season.. factor in horrible weather and you might get in 3 trips at 3.65 gal gas .. UNSUSTAINABLE !!

[PecolaCatfishHunters]

dumb ass! recreational fisherman catch more snapper a year then commercial fisherman go to NOAA and check the stats, its not just about what u get to catch with your little fishing pole, its about the country

[maskkuwaity]

cool

[andycindy73]

miss the water myself workd on a 56 ft steel hull called the southern cross i loved it

[Mr10inchnail]

FUCK NOAA

[guacacuda]

wow!!!!!

[dustyflair]

we caught 1,400 pounds in a few hours on the 1st spot we stopped on last year. So far this year I have only been recreational fishing in the gulf and EVERY reef is COVERED with snapper from the bottom to 10 feet below the surface in 100 feet of water.

[OK2BCK]

fantastic video!

[thereelstory]

Any idea where these commercial fishermen offload? I need those fish after they have been filleted

[thereelstory]

Every word he spoke was so true. He called it years before it started happening.

[brachan021]

Ya and NOAA says our red snapper are over fished looks to me like they need to take a trip with these guys

[Mr10inchnail]

@brachan021 NOAA has the balls to say that Surf fisherman take more striped bass then commercial fisherman

[nolangreen]

Very awesome video, reminds me of a speech I gave in high school

[nolangreen]

This is a great video, I did a speech on hunting vs commercial meat in my college public speaking class last year for my senior year of high school. This video is amazing.

[emnimal]

Oh my fucking word. this speech is so great. who is this guys. who ever I love ur words

[GoPlayMW2OrSomething]

wow that looks like fun!

[scottberryman50]

from a old fisherman that yearns to be able to fish again and has seen his better days - I would like to say Thanks and let you know that your videos are appreciated . sometimes I can almost feel the wind in my face smell the salt air. only another fisherman knows how cruel this life really is . Thanks Again

[allen3200]

@scottberryman50 Thank You very much

[scottberryman50]

@scottberryman50 Sorry !!!! my post doesn't sound right ----- I was refering to how cruel on the human body the backbreaking work of commercial fishing really is .

[allen3200]

@scottberryman50 So True Thank You Very Much

[hornywigger]

nice job bro, good to see some people still understand hard work. good luck

[fusilier45]

very cool vid,do they taste similar to bream?

[falatoronto]

wow, top catch.

[Boskovic1987]

There is no shortage yet, but you'll see how bad it will get.

[allen3200]

@Boskovic1987 We the commercial fishermen have been fishing for over 400 years what are you talking about.

[NoPushSissa]

Gosh on the Bama coast Red Snapper are taking over everything. the Triggers have vanished along with many other snapper species. when we catch illegel ones we just throw them to dolphins

[allen3200]

@NoPushSissa The same in Louisiana and Florida hard to find any different fish for all the red snapper

[hellafyno]

Not bad... And George Carlin is good.

[CondemnedPatriot]

dude long live George carlin, amazing video. you da man (lol)

[giampow1]

Fishing & George Carlin,...a great combination, nice catch!!

[milano04]

Great video with Carlin bonus. Pls keep posting

[gman4u21982]

come on guys i know u can move faster then that

[mulletboater]

thank you for the stand-up bit,very funny kind of pertains to the video subject. the cca stinks,i used to have a nice job at a fish house that had to shut down because the fisherman kept getting fined over petty issues.

[groffel123]

Awesome video. Love the George Carlin bit...

Keep up the good work!

[allen3200]

Thank you & fish on

[240SSONLY]

Hey Allen I am a commercial fisherman in fl. and I really appreciate this video. It reminds me of when I had access to a class A permit in freshwater La. I have been working on a our problems on a personal level for 17 years now.I belive I have found a way for you and I and a few select others to keep doing what we have always done.Contact me.  Brad 850-624-0010

[allen3200]

thank you

[brakuda66]

i think that the red snapper population theory is bullcrap, and there aint no shortage in them.theres enough red snapper alone to feed the world for 2days.

[dustyflair]

that's the crushdown. How much snapper does your permit allow you to take?

[allen3200]

For the year we have about 3500lb we cauth 2000 in 4 hours we as commercial fishermen are being screwed by our government There is no shotage of any fish.The big charter boats that have over 20 people per trip and some time 2 trips a day are killing greater pounds of fish than any commercial fishing there is only a few 100 of us and thousands or millions of you guys we are only a drop in an bucket

[theswanman]

where was this at?

[allen3200]

Louisiana

[XXTUCHITXX]

about how much is that much snapper worth?

[allen3200]

ABOUT 3.50LB TO THE BOAT

[svalon]

im new to fishing and its amazing how easy you guys make it look what kinda of bait is that you using ??

[allen3200]

squid

[adyzal]

@allen3200

hello..

What kind of squid are you using.i seem the squid color is orange is it?

[adyzal]

Hi,what type of squid are you using??

its look like the squid is orange color is it??

it is does matter if I am using white squid to catch grouper?

[seabass410]

A 1 FISHING VIDEO!!!!!!!!!

[allen3200]

thank you your comment means a lot to me

[CommercialFIShman]

What kind of rig is that? I am guessing those are about 0/6 jap (circle) hooks spaced about 12 inches apart with 9 inch leaders for each, and about 10 hooks in all? If that's correct, do you just come off the bottom about 3 turns and let them hook themselves?

[allen3200]

It's a oil rig.I like the 10/0 hooks and you are righi about the rest

[YeahRight825]

That's not "fishing" that's "catching"... lol.

[fuelish1]

wow, I wish I could catch something other than a throwback size redsnapper.....seems everywhere I fish, that is just about all we seem to catch, with occasional keepers......

[sellsfish]

I am glad to see you post a commercial video. I have been argueing with the SAFMC on the East cost about the same thing. They are shutting us down one species at a time.

[allen3200]

Yes for no reason at all red snapper are over populated now and is hard to catch any other fish because of them

[allen3200]

READ THIS VIDS INFO

[dabasketbaby]

Wow junkload of redies Im surprised that they didnt get a different fish ever!

[allen3200]

RED SNAPPER ARE TAKEN OVER THE OIL RIGS

[allen3200]

ITS HARD TO CATCH ANY DIFFERENT FISH

[yellozone]

was that guy talking being sarcastic?

[allen3200]

NO, NOT AT ALL IS THE TRUTH.

[halosucker117]

DANG AT 3:02 MIN THAT A LOF OF RED SNAPS

[xxXtuchitXxx]

awesome! thats a shitload of snapper...and for those who see this as a problem...everybody's gotta eat and feed their families...this is their livelyhood...u dont like it, dont eat fish!

[Fisherguy28]

@xxXtuchitXxx Completly with you man. The only thing i have a problem with is finning, cause they just throw the rest of the shark back. It's a waste, but if they start using them, then i'm cool with it
