What's Life Like As A North Sea Fisherman? | Trawlermen's Lives With Ben Fogle | Our Stories

Great video…..very interesting ❤️🇨🇦

Dude is weak.. why even do it just to complain the whole time..

Prohibited area for trade...laws needed

I come from Sweden and whenever I see people go fishing on the North Sea all I can think about is “why do people attempt to bring their small little fishing vessels into one of if not the roughest ocean on earth?”


that being said, I absolutely respect anyone who does this as a job.

Love from Sweden 🇸🇪

🥰🥰🥰🥰watching from philippines

HAHAHA! When I saw the thumbnail of a guy in a 'Yachtsmans oilskins', I knew he wasn't a trawlerman. I bet the crew loved him.

Cracking load of lads you were out with, very tough job and the cracks still good 👌🏻

Its my dream to have a fisherman husband because they work so hard.

i am fishermen from india and would like to work at north sea fishing boat.

I hope not a piece of fish goes into the garbage when eating

...

The last time I ate crab was at cromer and it was dressed in the shell. I dont really buy it from supermarket.

I want to do this one day

is that guy in the orange beanie a filipino? i bet he is! there will always be a filipino anywhere you go and he's the only 1 using the spoon when eating. you really need to use the spoon, it's efficient you scoop rice and bits of meat with it especially in a wobbly environment except with spaghetti ofcourse that goes without saying!

They fish for those prawns when there's literally nothing else left to get

I have to admit I'd cry uncontrollably on that boat till of it😂

Just watching making me seasick.. but what an incredible film 🎉My uncle works as a fisherman there they go to denmark, faroe and peterhead. I thought id see him in this video. 😊

If we usually know what to expect how is it so dangerous?

GOD REST THEIR SOULS I WAS BORN IN ABERDEEN AND REMEMBER MY GRANNY TAKING ME TO THE FISH WIVES FOR HAPPY MEMORIES

They should have worked on a two sided side winder trawler in the 1950, then they would know what hard work realy is.

This is incredible! Quite a world apart from my River Thames Party Cruises lol!

Sorts the men out from the boys

Looks like foxys lil bro

Clinging onto, bleak, stern

To be honest the gov needs to pay them on top of the money they make that whys you see less and Less fisherman all the tough hard workers are dieing off

"We need you!" Said that like he didn't want to let you go😅

I am also an international longline net boat or purshine boat fisherman for more than 10 years...can you help me to get that job...thank you very much

has brexit made things better?

Lucky the TV station will pay them 😅

Bet he was glad to get back to his cushy tv celeb lifestyle.

Oh yes,much respect to these fine gentlemen.

I can tell you,at my age,i could never do what these nen do on this boat for that many hours. When i was in my 30s ir 40s,I'd give them a run for their money,but i just dont have the stamina anymore.

I’m a retired fisherman from Grimsby and I fully enjoyed this programme it really brought back some fantastic memories

My father was on the trawlers in the North Sea. Nearly lost his arm when a steel rope snapped and caught him.

Just wish it could be done a bit more sustainable 😢

Industrial fishing with indiscriminate nets has no future

These Men descend from Vikings no doubt about it

These stories are so important to be brought to the public. They make us appreciate all the labour and challenges fisherman are faced with from day to day.

A true backbone of Britain

I love fishing but don’t like to eat them or any seafood. Sure which I did though. Much respect to all the fishermen out and about.

Great-Grandparents were from Embo, you know, up North 140 yrs ago... Settled on L. Superior. lol You had it good laddy.

Amazing video

Cant see many feminists complaining about equality in employment on this one..

Very brave men I gotta give em that but I think I'll rather keep being a land fisherman 😅

Ben Fogle, I think you are a very nice guy. Respect I have for you. ❤

These guys have done this for years Ben, you can't expect to take all this on board in days, this work his in there blood, glad your trying to cope with all what's going on , great video ❤

This is the closest I will allow myself to the North Sea lol full respect to those who venture out in it 💪🙏

You want to know what draws them back it's called a paycheck

When I was a skipper I saw things you would never believe dark scary creatures
But I don’t talk about them

Wouldn't mind giving it a go. The sea always fascinated me along with fishing and all that nautical stuff
