I go fishing to relax. No Thanks!:

[Howard B]

I can buy my fish at the market!

[pmelah]

that would be an awsome ride

[Panjandrum]

As a boater (sailor), I am constantly in awe of the power of the sea. This video is awesome in showing just how seaworthy some boats can be, and how skillfully some can be operated. Some scary moments for all, though!

[bongobobny]

Aarrrr, there be strong seas thar, but not to worry, them ships can handle it...

[Carbon_One]

That's a very very good example of why I stay on land. No thanks.

Been there, done that......Oh, wait, my boat was 800 ft long and weighed 40000 tons. Guess its not the same..... those guys are NUTS!!!

Having many years with sailboats I know what the oceans can do. More than once I have been blinded because the waves have been higher than the boat. You just have to know what the sea can do and what you and your ship can do. If you figure you can beat the seas then go ahead, if you figure the seas are going to beat you then run.

If you figure you can beat the seas then go ahead, if you figure the seas are going to beat you then run.

 

... or SWIM !!!

[GAWildKat]

I can't swim so no ty! I stay on land to fish!

[chabicheka]

Wouldn't mind going fishing with those guys, but getting your cigarette doused with water every 5 seconds would really piss me off.

[Flyinfool]

Looks like fun.

 

 

To watch from shore.......

[mraf]

I think I'm going to puke!

[ragtop69gs]

I puked on my desk just watching that !

Went on a cruise to Alaska in 2000. In Juneau went on a 4 hour fish trip. 21' boat with 4 fisherman. Rough seas that day. Another fishing boat was beside us and it would disapear completely from view. We caught 3 salman that day. The captain tried to get a fish for each of us but one guy who could not speak english could not land a fish even though there were 5 hooked for hime. We could only run one rod because it was so rough. Closest I ever got to being seasick, turned green but held it in.

 

Went again in Katchekan and the water was like glass. All four fisherman caught our limit of 4.

Looks fun, did the North Atlantic on a 567 feet long, 55 foot wide, 9,600 ton ship that was a blast you could literally walk on the walls.

[Grump]

just a light riple

Been there a few times myself in a 48' boat, the light blue one is probably about 42'. It's definitely not a nice situation. Looks like sand in the water so it's probably fairly shallow. Somewhat like the entrance to the Columbia River where the outbound flow turns the sea into total confusion. During bad weather the swells can be so deep boats such as those two can hit the bottom. Chose to stay out to sea a few times rather than mess with that ****.

Now picture running in seas like that 10 (or 100) miles from shore, in the dark, and 30 degree temps. Not sure how those folks walk,,,,,,

Walk on a couple bulkheads myself. Lost power in the middle of a hurricane. Thought we were going to davey jones locker that day.

[Yamamike]

No thank you very much! I was getting seasick just watching the vid! LOL:sick:

[hunter 1500]

I've fished Lake Ontario in my 20 ft Penn Yan in 5 and 6 foot waves where went you went down in between the swells all you could see was water. Been blown off there a lot when the waves were larger.

Sold the boat 10 years ago and don't fish there anymore.

[naturbar]

i'm amazed that they keep the engine room dry !!!

[dacheedah]

Gone diving in seas not 1/3 that rough, couldn't wait to run down the anchor line. But boarding the boat can be a real painful experience. What man won't do to earn a living. . .
