Were the guys in the video that were down in the hold with fish that appeared gutted and on ice, on your boat?
Haha, we fish as needed depending on the type of fishery(salmon is the most relaxed@ daylight + an hour or two) so the hours vary all the time. If a 24h + work day is required then that's what we do. Food and sleep are luxuries sometimes. It's amazing how long and hard you can work when your pay is based on production not an hourly wage. Plus, when there is no going home at night and you're stuck on the boat you may as well work and try to catch more!

Yes that is our boat and the guys down the hold are plant workers. We sometimes have to unload our own catch but not too often.
