Can someone please explain this?!? Video included...

Why do some of the herring guys on the piers dump their nets next to their cooler just so their friend can pick the herring up one by one and toss them in the cooler, rather than emptying the net directly into the cooler?

I've seen this several times and it always baffles me.

Maybe they have some bones to pick with their friends

I honestly think they are just clueless, or making sure the friends works for their fairshare?  havent seen it. Whats the best wayto un-snagged your net? Lost mine.

extending pole with a paint  roller handle does a great job for unsticking nets.

Mt brother will swim for it if you give him half a bucket.

I have friends to do just to weed out the smaller ones.

I have seen it many times and I don't get it either.  Someone offered me a net full once, I accepted and he dumped it right next to my cooler.  I thought he was being a dick, but then he did it to his own cooler too so I dunno.

Doesn't make sense.

Why would you weed out the smaller ones?  I like getting smaller ones, reds and greens make better salmon bait.

Exactly! I actually vacuum pack the small ones and toss the biguns in ziplock.

Maybe they eat them and only want the BIG ones.

Nope, they put ALL of them in the cooler.

You got him trained good. Is he good with ducks also?☺️

The small ones are perfect for Tuyo. I’ll post a pic of them in my dehydrator later after work.

Oh so you just used dehydrator instead of leaving them in the sun? How are they? Im doing tinapa this weekend. Hopefully I will catch more if theres another spawn.

Yea. It’s too cold and too much humidity in the air to have them dry quick. In the Summer I use old fashion Sun to dry them.
