Sri Lanka's Worst Fisherman

good morning guys we are about to embark on an adventure you are going to join the adventure mommy this cat is about to be a mother and I am about to go out on a small catamaran as they call it here you can join us if you want but no I'm sure you want cats don't like water very much. I'm going out in this little bolt this is our boat with this man and we're going to fish for lobster dive lobster dive no one here speaks English I don't I don't speak any Sinhalese that's the way we like it.

This is the boat we will leave on. We will row with these oars. Exactly how we will sit on this boat. I don't know, but it will be a wild experience. walk I don't know how many hours we went out I don't know how far we went the only thing I know is that they wanted to take the white boat I wanted to use this one because I saw them using this a couple of days ago when I met them here on the beach here are our supplies water and our diving equipment this we are here and this is our are the tools the tools to repair right, I don't know where I am I'll probably sit in the middle, who knows, anyway, I'll see you when we're about to leave our license .

They need a license for a boat like this. That's amazing and last night was great. It will be fun. Where will I sit? Where will I sit? sit in the back or in the middle or not here, the boss comes with two people one two three incredible one more thing before I go there is a funny guy who lives here on the beach this man I'm going to say hello, greet him now good morning, how are you doing now? This is his house, so there, yeah, maybe later I'll come back with a beer for you, yeah, yeah, at night, at night, beer, beer, yeah, so we took the boat there.

Hey, hey, everything is going smoothly from here now. The Sunnis now come up and it turns out they're not quite ready to go yet, they've set up the big yeah, this is the machine they dive with, so they've got this, they go pretty deep, they just put in this hose, some kind of equipment archaic diving. and turn this machine on and then you can breed pretty deep we'll see how deep they go here here also the wrong side apparently there thanks I'll help you yeah yeah okay I think I was more on the road than healthy so they told me to We're on our way, where's your board?

I would like to stand up then mechanic mechanic he is the mechanic he is the boss he is the driver so he is the one who is going down with this machine and something is wrong you are going to fix it well come on you think the anchor is lowering the anchor they are trying to find the exact point by measuring through a door by reference points the sea from here the anchor is just a big stone on a rope it's still going down, you see breakfast diving, you're hungry, yes, up for me, yes, it's okay , I guess we eat before we dive, then wait, where's my hand sanitizer?

There you go, a big one for the captain, wait, in fact, I brought some hand sanitizer here we are. sea, you can never be too careful thanks now we can eat anything this is roti what are you eating ice? I see why the hell we would eat there instead of eating there before we go out, get the midsi, look there, it's definitely not what I signed up for, so we're getting ready to fight here, almost ready. I'm wearing fins and I'm going to swim and then obviously I won't be able to see how deep it goes, but I have my GoPro. here, so I'll be there when it falls.

Are you going to start the engine? And then I have to take care of my fingers. I want to dive with an Alabama hat. Oh, coffee, you eat it and drink it before you dive. I'm not well. I'm fine, I'll have a coffee after diving, yeah, so I remember this from when I was diving 20 years ago, before you went down, sitting here, you feel a little iffy as soon as you're in the water. everything is fine no, this one broke this one oh no, that's a disaster. I think they're a little worried that everything will fall, so they're moving it.

Actually, it's a mess here. A potential disaster in the making, if and when. this one is ready to roll, but I go in knowing that GoPro, thanks for moving down a little bit, so it's way down, it's been this five minutes since I went up, now maybe more and we're actually driving following your bubbles where is it? him right there now? Yeah the bubbles appear just pray like crazy how your God and your host in your mouth you mean stop being honest so even though they do this for a living I mean it's been there for so long , I mean, me.

I'm honestly worried about the guy, it's been over 15 minutes, but you know, I guess they know what they're doing. You see this, they laugh and then they have fun, so I can kind of see the bubbles again. This is right over there. So this motor pumping air into it now just stops, but they don't seem too scared about it. I mean, he's been down there because I don't have a watch or a phone here, but he's been down there at least. Half an hour maybe more. I'm still sitting here doing my best not to feel a little dizzy.

I am very impressed that they do this every day, other ways to make a living, yes, every unreal news asset that comes after what it is. amazing dive, yes that's him, does that mean you came empty handed? Oh, wow, it's a good, very good one. There are two bags that we will see in the hallway when we return to the coast. Two well-made bags, that is. Well, there are many great good mornings, how you feel, are you okay, how long was that hour, how long was an hour and time, there is no time, just, yeah. Wow, unreal, what kind of fish, whale, you will see.

Turn the camera back on if something happens. You put sand on them that is big and wet coming home sweet home these guys laugh at me I have a feeling that they actually were they would have liked to go for another guy and that we went I came back simply because they saw that I felt bad which makes me feel a little bad but we'll see if they come out again great let's go up you're going to go out you're going to go out again ok you just came back for me you're the man you're a hero oh very good awesome immersion ah hello oh yeah eh what good to be back I love you ha ah yes relax there we can take a look at the lobster Walter we can see the lobster we can see the lobster good lobster a look I can see the lobster lobster nights here we go beautiful yes, yes, we have one, okay, okay, see you when you get back, see you later.

Wow, they came back just to discourage me, now I'm sorry. horrible, okay, good luck guys, good luck, yeah, later, I'll be back, I'll be back, yeah, oh, you speak English, cool, that's awesome, that's my face here, oh, this is your place, yeah, that was awesome , here is mine. David, oh, you're a diver, there we go, come on, now you can see what kind of good, okay, there we go, you must be very confused, there we go, come on, cookie, now come on, cookie, I'll give it to the chef, right? OK? Apparently it's for you, is he giving it to you for me?

How am I going to cook them? You said it's hard to find fresh lobster for your restaurant, so yeah, they're not going to break. Okay, I'm back here with the crabs and Chef Segarra. Do you remember the name? Now he's been telling me that next year they won't be allowed to dive, just like they do now, they'll have to sin dive with the whole driving team and then here's the boss. you own the entire operation, he says this is not economically viable because they don't cost enough to make it commercially viable, so this is the last year they are allowed, 2020, next year no more diving with this method , so I was lucky.

I have to see it before it's over, the lobster is lucky. I mean, there will be millions of these guys out there now, but people, yeah, aren't that lucky. Are you going to go cook this now or yeah, that's how they catch them when when when when they swim down there they don't get caught in a net, they're free and then he comes with this one he decided to fish here and then he puts it in the plastic bag, well, they are very unlucky, this is the second time in one day. They got caught up in the same thing, that was impressive.

I thought there was a net or some trail down there and he just went to the trail and then he opened the trap and then he took them. I didn't know they were free down there they are very far apart a killer Dan is entering the rock now he is reaching 230 the homeless man who lives here yes there is a homeless man here I don't know if I have any recording of him or not he is nowhere to be found To be seen, only the gnarled fruits of your workforce will say the things you consume, etc., every day are here, so I have been a backhoe at home.

I took a shower. I went to eat at Pizza. But I've edited a video and those guys are still out there. God knows how long one of them went astray because the only one who submerged was a mechanic. The skipper went underwater today that I can imagine and it was raining. Pretty heavy too, so I don't know how rough the seas are, but a landsman, which is my new name, there's no more progressive spear, a landsman could only copy it there a long way for maybe two and In half an hour these guys are arriving at six, seven, maybe even eight, because we still don't know when they'll be back, but I'll sit here, wait for them to come back, we'll see.

How many lobsters were they able to catch? They come. I see them in the distance. I'm not sure if they are visible on this camera, but I just checked the time, so it's 2:30 exactly, which means they've been there since 6:45. I think we set sail, what a day they've had, it's unreal and the wave comes, it's very easy, we're waiting for the next big wave, here we go, how many dives do you do, one dive after another, three crazy dives for half an hour, dives, it smells good and funky. Oh, big ones, good catch, mr. . trusty old anchor how many meters is this the length 25 meters 25 meters so when you swim when you swim how do you do it do you hold it or do you just have it just do you have it here or do you hold it I love you, he holds this soccer ball, yes, he does you are, but you hold that, no, no, this is around your arm, yes, I see, why don't you write it down and then look at the boat?

Do you ever look at the boat? you have some time, you see where the boat is and then you try to go in that direction, okay, very dangerous, my boat is here when you did what was coming, so you follow the boat or the boat falls, you can abort, follow God , follow him. Hey back. on the hunt with all the supplies yeah okay I'm walking around documenting no time to sit down yeah no way yeah where are you from yeah be careful what city could do what trade like that straight to the market hockey over the market, oh yeah, here's the market.

Man, you are the market man, all the cardboard, wow, they are even on the floor here, what's wrong with this 2 kilo, a little bit and six point eight, six point eight, five, a man and there is no big one, be the biggest, good morning, good day. Same thing every day I go straight to the cigarettes where we go to the market or where they sell them like this HD accounts with the price like this the big one the big lobster was two yellow ones 2 kilos and you won 500 5000 5000 oh this is impressive 500 kilo one kilo yes OOP two point one kills five thousand two hundred and fifty degrees and then you have six kilos, the whole little one sold for twelve thousand, you know, 100, yeah, so in total you got seventeen thousand four hundred and fifty-four okay, okay?

I see a good price, no, not good, 4000 rupees is a price that does not affect 2500 mm, yes, a hundred good, there is no price here, this is about a hundred dollars, it is about a hundred dollars in total, yes, so this guy owns everything. I guess he got it. and then he has to do it, I don't know how they did it, whether he pasted them for our bonus or Padayappa's or yes, how is it going well? So you got a hundred dollars for all this and you sold all the lobsters for four hundred dollars. TV, yes, it is already well priced, so you are not happy with that price.

Did you try to order more? I tried asking for higher normal prices of Oh, thousand, a kilo per kilo, but today it says a kilo, 200, okay, wait, damn, Diego got 17,000. while $100 is 18252 like $95 $95 is fine, but he's not happy, yeah, because he's always explained that all day. Yes, Hornady, we have some people, yes, how does he pay them? Do you pay them per day or, for example, how much is the total price? He divided the with the people, I say, I say heavy, this will be a little secret between us, but each of the crew members earned more than the owner today.
