Anyway, like I was sayin', shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey's uh, shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There's pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich. That- that's about it. - Bubba

Spent my teenage years shrimping out of Bayou La Batre. It was how I wanted to spend my life but life had a different plan. I still look back on it fondly even the bad times were good.

I love that the majority of comments are about Forrest Gump/Bubba 👏👏😂

I am a Commericial shrimp boat deckhand out of Galveston, Texas. I wanted to thank you for providing a quality video that I was able to share with my viewers of my Facebook page. They thoroughly enjoyed learning about how our boat operates. Take care and I hope you’ll do more.

I have no idea that you had required so many by catch devices in your industry now I have a better feeling about what you are doing out there continue the good work with your videos and many of us armchair shrimpers will appreciate your product thank you

I absolutely loved this video! I do so love shrimp, especially in a simple sauce of horseradish and ketchup. Thank you for the great video!

I learned something everyday via youtube. Thanks for sharing. I love eating shrimp.

"I've been on a real BIG boat." -Forrest Gump

Seeing Capt. Wesley on the Luana Luisa was a treat. Lots of memories!

These kind of trawlers have fascinated me for years. Captain Reggie Sawyer of Darien, GA was a great help in making my companies shrimp boat model kits more authentic and fun to build!

Everything I knew prior was from watching Forest Gump. I really enjoyed seeing the exclusionary devices for turtles and fish. Had no idea of the requirements and sustainability. Thanks for uploading!

As a retired teacher, Science, I gotta say, this is a wonderfully informative video. Had no idea how the boats actually worked. Thanks

Been watching shrimp boats leave Freeport Texas for years. Had a general ideal of how it was done, but now I really know. Great Video.

Good video! I always wondered how the nets worked etc, We have a retired fishing vessel that was converted into a pleasure cruiser and I love seeing how the components that still exist on the vessel fit in with the process. We sleep in what was once the "fish tank" and found shrimp fishing areas marked on the old charts, but it was made by a company since not operational so I crave weird information about how the boat worked.

This is a very nice video. Thank you for uploading -Dylan

Wow, I learned something. This is really interesting! Ever since I saw Forest Gump, not only that, and living in Florida, I've always wanted to know how they worked. I'm happy about the turtle escape hatches too.

I have honestly always wondered about this. Thank you

Thank you for making the video! I learned a lot from it, and i've been curious to see how TED and bycatch removal devices look in action.

Nice haul! I came here because Im eating shrimp at home right now, and there's nothing that enhances flavor more than knowing where your food came from. Thanks for making this video! Yum!

Good thing Lt. Dan showed up when he did I'm not sure Forrest could have handled this all by his lonesome...

Thanks for this informative glimpse into shrimp harvesting. I’ll savor my next meal of shrimp even more.

Great video, Yet one important note was left out.. Its the stablelizers placed on the outside of each side of the out riggers that keeps the boats from flipping over in high seas. Shrimping was my very first job in the Gulf before T.E.D.s were implemented. We were based out of Sabine Pass, Texas.

Very good info and now I know about how a Shrimp Boat operates!! Well Explained Sir and I do wanna Thank you Much !!

I shrimped the West Coast of Vancouver Island in the early 90's. We played a role in the destruction of the ooligan population. Nobody knew that they swam out to deep sea of the west coast, only to return to spawn in the rivers. There were few rules, and little science. I was on a 50' 3 man door trawler. With a 50' wide net in 60-80 fathoms. From 5am till 11:15 at the peak days on 1.5 hour tows and under 10 min turnaround. Tows maxed out at 3000-2800 lbs and at 95 cents to as much as $1.10 a pound. Boat held 28,000 lbs max, we pushed above 30 a few times. Thats leaving harbour 9 pm arriving on the grounds 5am, two days fishing at the peak, 3 days the norm, 4 at the beginning and end of the season. Always left the grounds immediately after last tow, arrived harbour 5-6 am unload, sometimes immediately, sometimes as late as 3 pm. Hour and a half unload, clean, load new ice and reset the panels. Back at harbour S.S.S clean up, restaurant/pub 5 pm, dinner, drinks and stagger back to boat 11:30 pm, boat pulls out, pick crab pots in harbour, reset bait, and go shrimpin again !

Thank you so much for taking the time and post this video clip. I like it very much.

Thanks for the doc! Well made, makes eating these tasty shrimp taste all the better!

Really interesting. Great to see professionals, the true ecologists.

Glad to learn about the shrimp boat. Great video!

I would love to try shrimping like this one day. Looks like a lot of hard work but rewarding as well.

Keep that Shrimp hand strong! Shrimpin ain't easy!

I came here to catch a glimpse of Forrest Gump.

love eating shrimp! thank you for this video!

Great video! I learned something. Thanks.

I never knew how shrimp were caught....very informative/educational video....nice going

My tummy thanks all the shrimp workers.

I WENT shrimping during a summer break from college, and I STILL never knew exactly HOW the nets worked. I just knew they brought in breakfast lunch and dinner and a WHOLE LOTTA MONEY! No, it wasn't Bubba's idea of shrimp this or shrimp that... we caught lobster, crabs and every kind of seafood known to man, and we ATE it!

Thanks for posting this video.

First! You have to name your shrimpin' boat! The most beautiful name in the world,.... Jenny!!!

Thanks for showing how the nets work. I know about the "Ted" but did not realize the shrimp fisherman developed them that is cool. I did not know about the "By catch" this save other species and cuts down on the work with have just shrimp to go through. I love shrimp, I love fishing and want to see fisheries taken care of. On to watch Crawfish fisheries video. Best wishes keeping the health of the fisheries.

Thank you shrimp alliance, I enjoyed this educational content thouroughly, shrimp!

Thanks for posting

Keep 'em coming, guys. Love to eat 'em.

Great video. I'm so hungry now!

Thanks for the video. Very educational.

nice explanation of how the net works

Today I learned something good, thank you

What a cool video and love the turtle and fish release things absolutely 💯👌🏽🇦🇺

Lots of hard work!

Great video 📹 Thank you for Sharing Australia 🌏

This video looks like a informative video I'd watch in middle school

Excellent video thanks for posting

This is a great video. I was a key west shrimper from 77 to 83. I still wear two earings..like we did then.

Great Job ! Fun and very informative to watch . Good to see those turtles and fish can escape . Thanks

Awesome information. Ty

Bubba Knew way more about shrimpin then this!

Excellent video thank you so much for sharing

Thank you never knew about nets. Fantastic about the sea turtle safety feature. Really

Wish you guys would do some more videos like this. trying to buy a shrimp boat

Great video! Thank you for providing this educational material. When the shrimp are in the hold below, are they iced on their journey back to harbor?

Awesome! Thank you so much for that!

Awesome vid, thanks!

We enjoyed your video as we are watching a shrimper off Daytona Beach Shores.

Yeah great job, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Informative. Well delivered. Thank you for sharing the video clip. God bless.

Thank you very much. I love it.

Thats a great video thank you for the video very informative

Good vid from a NS Can skipper!

👍有知识掌握捕鱼虾的技术

Excellent educational video! ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Very neat, thanks for sharing this video! :)

very cool...and that's from an old key west shrimper..

Very interesting, as I love shrimps. We call 'em prawns in the UK. Our shrimps are brown shrimps and very much smaller. They are also very tasty, but difficult to peel because of their small size.

Excellent video.

You didn't mention the shrimpers. They are a special kind of people, hard working at sea and hard partying ashore. There is something addictive about a shrimper's life. No matter what happens ashore, as long as you get back to the boat you have a home, a job, and food. Many boats follow the shrimp back and forth across the Gulf Coast each year. The life in fishing ports is"colorful" to say the least. And there is something magical about the moment you pop the bag line and empty the bag. Mud and misery? Clean shrimp and a short easy culling? And maybe an old pirate chest. You never know until you pop the lines, and dump that bag on deck. I haven't been shrimping in 45 years, but when I am on a shrimp boat, with the smell of the fuel, the nets, and the sea, I find myself wanting to head out again.

Very interesting. My wife's father was a shrimp captain based out of Apalachicola, FL. His son works at Buddy Wards and Son's Seafood Company in Apalachicola.

very nice..from a guy who actually used to do this,,,

I went shrimping back in 2003 and it must have been before the times of by-catch reduction devices, because we half the catch was usually fish, rays, sharks, and every other type of seafood imaginable (even conch shells with live conch inside). I spent the first 10 minutes desperately trying to save all the fish's lives that we wouldn't eat. That changed me, and I promised to learn and help the situation because that wasn't right. Now I'm a fisheries biologist lol

I love Shrimp!

Good video thanks.

Great video. My favorite way to cook shrimp is in butter with a little bit of onion powder, some green onions, a bit of garlic, and handful of cilantro at the very end with the heat off. Seafood candy.

I like Shrimp, and I was Curious how it was done. Thanks

Interesting, thanks for the video

a proud supporter of BP

Those are some nice looking shrimp

I work on a shrimp boat in SC. Best fucking job I’ve ever had. Nothing like seeing that sunrise in the morning.

Interesting video...thanks

Bubba and Gump shrimp

Excellent,YUMMY !

Interesting! Thanks!!

very educational video

You do it a bit different than us Aussies. We have a different deck setup, we dump our product on a raised tray which is better for your back.

I was watching this while eating shrimp :)

Great examples of some clean pulls. If they didn't catch 5 times as many fish as they did shrimp here in NC I wouldn't have an issue with them at all.

A bunch of dudes being bros eating shrimps sounds awesome were do i sign up

hi I was worked srhimp trawler fishing in Scotland year 2007 very hardworking

Thanks :)

Awesome.

I've worked on a shrimp boat and while it's a lot of work, I can be fun at times

Nice video. I was surprised to see that (mostly) proper terminology and nomenclature was used in the narration. This video comes closer to how it is actually done than any I have seen. I was somewhat surprised to see a few glaring omissions though. First, when trailing the starboard side, the crewmember tossing the bag over stood briefly in the bight. Good way to get hurt or pulled overboard. Second, why wasn't the pelican hook attached? You are supposed to take a turn with the lazy line, ensure that the pelican hook is still secured, toss the bag over the rail, THEN release the pelican hook and pay out the lazy line and attach the sugar line if one is used. There are a few other details that would get the crew screamed at or kicked across the deck if it happened on my boat, and fired immediately if it happened again. I was disappointed that you did not show the sugar line and lazy lines retrieved, pelican hooks made fast to the choke straps, or whipline being passed around the throat and made fast before swinging the bags aboard. Also the guy tying the bagstraps is an idiot. He used about 5 or 7 slips and you only supposed to use three. He doesn't know how to make it tight, either. You can lose a LOT of shrimp with poorly tied bags, especially on a two rig boat. You did not show the trynet deployed or retrieved, either. Attempting to catch enough shrimp to pay for fuel, ice, insurance, etc without making trys with the trynet is not going to generally be very successful. And you didn't show how to head shrimp. Most non shrimpers don't even believe that 2 or 3 men can routinely head several boxes of shrimp a night, or have the most vague understanding of how it could be done, or how torturous it is on the hands. Show a real shrimper's hands, a week into a trip or 3 or 4 days after the end of a trip. It would be an eye opener to many. Looks like you had a bunch of college kids on that boat instead of shrimpers. Just sayin. Or those boats. You pieced together video shot on a four rig boat and a double rig boat. Confusing to viewers, maybe. They won't know if the dummy door just appears and disappears, or what.

now I want some shrimp
