"Fishermen don't watch that junk."
There's a lot fishermen don't do, Anonymous, like get involved in the process of the politics of fishing.
Looking back when I was on deck, all I cared about was sharing up and getting my horn scraped.
It was different back then.
That was before the industry was being attacked by the ENGO's and fishermen were respected.
I don't know how much longer a young guy will be able to have a future in the industry as soon enough crewmen from Brazil will be flown in and stay on boats for a length of time then rotated back home on a regular basis. Cheap labor and free transportation.
It's time to really lean into those that will make this happen.

Wes, I also posted a DC piece on my website.
People like the show, and it has been an ice breaker to get citizens to talk about the industry.

Wes, I'd like email you.
