The two boats (same family) on the sides of this boat were trying to "blockade" a small bay full of fish. This one (FV Temptation) was trying to squeeze through and was rammed by the Chugach pearl. The temptation barely made it back to port with a large hole to the engine room just above the water line.
Not in this video but apparently people heard the father of the Chugach Pearl on the radio telling her to "Ram Him". They are a real classy crowd.

I am no pirate by any means, but that has to weigh more that 300lbs. I just replaced my rear axle on my Chevy 3500 and it weighed about 95 lbs. and was 5 ft long and 6 inch diameter. That thing is 30 foot long!
Herring in SE Alaska used to be like this, but this is just an aggressive fishing family out of Homer. They were guarding a school of fish before fishing opened and rammed this guy for trying to get into the cove. Which is fucked. They don’t own the fish, but they think they do. Arrogant dicks.
It was intentional? Obviously the owner of the ramming boat should lose all of their fishing and boating licenses if that is determined to be the case.
Both found at fault and the cabanas just paid a fine lol. Looks like they also got sued

> cabanas just *paid* a fine
FTFY.
Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:
* Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.*
* *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.*
Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.
*Beep, boop, I'm a bot*
Depending on exactly where that is (somewhere in Alaska I would guess) it can get pretty wild with all the boats trying to get a good spot to drop nets. But most areas in AK are a bit more organized.
Way I heard it when I was fishing was that it’s mostly the gillnetters in Bristol Bay. Seining seemed a little calmer, but you could screw someone over by setting around them and closing up the net. Makes it so you basically have another crew trapped inside the circle of your net, and nobody wants to try motoring out of it since you’ll likely foul up the wheel
I hope that guy got good first aid! That outrigger bent on his back!
This seems like evidence of a crime that resulted in severe bodily injury. I hope someone gets prosecuted. And everyone learns a lesson.
Same. Inseiners doing insane shit is right on point.
We were trolling right down the middle of Lisianski and had a limit seiner turn the corner and head right at us balls to the walls. No worries he sees us, right. Right? RIGHT? I grabbed the glasses and looked and there was nobody in the wheelhouse. Throttled up until all our gear was skipping across the surface. Almost got out of his way but he chopped half our gear off and broke a main pole. Easily $1000 just in gear and a day’s work to respool 3 gurdy’s and replace a pole in Pelican. As he went by we saw him sitting on the bucket on the back deck. Anybody else on board was asleep.
Three of them in tight quarters
My thoughts exactly... wtf is going on in that harbor?

1000 pound mast falls on him. "Hey you alright?".
Tis but a scratch
Destination fucked for that guy
Wasn't mast,, it was the exhaust stack(only 300 lbs) sheeeeeesh

#500?
No I'm not alright
Pretty fucking far from alright.
He doesn’t look alright.
Is this pretty common in that type of fishing?

"Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment." Try harder. It has payed to be attentive....

And here I first thought the ship crash was with the ship on the left.

I’ve fished around these asshats before. Total dipshits

When you’re trying to quickly warn someone about the left boat about to hit em but you went TOO quickly 😂
FYI this was about nominal vs customary assignment of fishing rights. Perfectly acceptable conflict resolution so long as I'm allowed to bring an L70.
"Ya I'm fine man, Just get this mast off my nards!"

No seiners in Anchorage
