This cost me OVER $10,000 dollars!!

Welcome back to the channel, folks! It's Jacob Knowles here, ready to take you on another day in the life of a Maine lobsterman, but with a twist. As we find ourselves in the slow season for lobster fishing, our tasks shift from the daily haul to maintenance and preparation for the busier times ahead. Today, we're embarking on a crucial mission: to retrieve and repair over 50 lobster traps, a fleet valued at over $10,000, all of which have seen better days thanks to the relentless wear and tear of the sea—and a mysterious creature that calls these waters home.

Our journey starts at the crack of dawn, under a breathtaking sunrise that paints the sky in hues of orange and pink—a reminder of the beauty and serenity that comes with the job. As we head out to sea, we'll share with you not just the stunning vistas but also the hard work that goes into maintaining our gear. Each trap, battered by the elements and the creatures of the deep, tells a story of the challenges we face out here on the water.

But today's not just about the physical labor. We'll dive into the mystery of the "crazy thing" that lives in the ocean, sharing insights into how it affects our traps and what we do to protect our livelihood while respecting the delicate balance of marine life.

So, join us for a day at sea, filled with stunning visuals, hard work, and a glimpse into the life of a lobsterman during the slow season. It's a side of lobster fishing you rarely see—the preparation, repair, and perseverance that ensure we're ready for whatever the ocean throws our way.
