This is terrific programming. Kids need to see stories like this so they know how civilization works.
Also, I admit that I clicked because it's Mike Rowe 💪🏻

I grew up and fished Florida for 30 years and don't go anymore because it's been so depleted and I don't want to make it worse.

Thanks Mike! We need alot more of this! God Bless You!

Corporate fishing is nothing but bad for the industry. Mike Rowe should do a special on all the small boat private fishermen put out of business by corporations. Same with farming

[nicholasholden]

A friend of mine used to work on fishing boats he would go out on a unmaintained and leaky 32ft fiberglass boat from the 80s (no freezer just a big cooler), and every week it had to be towed back to the fish house or the bilge pump would go out. But he somehow was the best out of the about 30 men on 7 boat. And they used 100 pound boxes and where it was grouper they could up to 450 each.

Godbless our fisherman and farmers. Without them we would be finished.

Mike Rowe's comforting voice... you know work is gettin' done.

I used to work with Alaskan fishing boats, from 20' mom and pop boats up to 300-400'. I've been on America's Finest a couple of times, it actually looks like this. It's way cleaner and fancier than most other fishing boats.

I used to work in Seward and Dutch Harbor.

[tanksnuthin]

I'm extremely interested in this now this looks like such a cool frigin job. I need to watch this show more often

[Jaronite]

A lot of investors choose farmland commodities.

Never forget to support your local fishermen & naval engineers!

[tulipqwertywolfie]

Why am I just finding this show now? Dirty Jobs, but Rowe doesn't get dirty

[rickdiaz]

This is sickening! How many pounds of "bycatch" is killed for every pound of yellowfin sole they catch? This super trawler is depleting everything in its path all for that mighty dollar. The light at the end of the tunnel is the better they do the quicker they will put themselves put of business.

[DePalma.]

Mike Rowe has great content...there are millions of us that work with our hands for a living & make good money.
Kids need to understand this lol.
Most of us have worked since we were youngsters, it’s better than college for many people.
We own houses, travel, have families etc.
The American dream!
In my opinion the best thing you can do for a kid is to get him working by the age of 13, whether he goes to college or not

[Camperr]

trawling is an awful choice. destroying ecosystems.

[KingKsEDC]

This is insane! My mind is blown just thinking about how you build a ship like this lol. Jeez.

[brendabailey]

Yeaaaa Mike Rowe. So glad your back. Someone. Normal
For a change. Well almostt🌝😄❤✝️🕊👍🙏🇺🇲☝️💯

[nobodyspecial]

Ships like this are the reason why "tried and true" fishing spots turn out to be empty of fish. They suck up all the ones there leaving none behind to replenish stocks.

[chuckeynewkirk]

And that's why conservation plays a key role in our Fisheries we do not need foreign countries coming into our fisheries and wiping out our fish and it's happening all around the world

[colehudson]

Only thing that I hate is I will see dozens of these boats pulling flounder for market but we as surf fisherman can only keep a slot fish for one month out of the year in NC. We have been throwing back about 100 flounder per trip since these rules as by catch with about 10% dying from swallowed hooks. But the people with rods are to blame for over fishing somehow still.
