DEEP SEA FISHERMAN FRITZ FLINDT: Tough pollock fishing on the 62nd parallel WELT HD DOCUMENTARY The job of a deep sea fisherman is still extremely dangerous today. Waves, storms, physical work and hardly any sleep - the stress is high, even though the ships are now ultra-modern. Fishing far out requires experience and luck. The weather can change within minutes and the same goes for the price of fish, which varies greatly depending on the amount caught. A race against time and the forces of nature quickly develops. Deep sea fishing: everyday life on the fishing trawler Iris The fishing trawler Iris fishes on the 62nd parallel between Norway and Scotland. The crew works around the clock to catch pollock. Dangerous conditions, nets weighing tons and lack of sleep are part of everyday life. Captain Fritz Flindt steers the ship through rough waters, while modern technology such as slaughtering machines makes processing easier. The catch is brought to Hanstholm, where prices of over €2 per kilo are achieved at the fish auction. Despite modern equipment, deep-sea fishing remains one of the toughest jobs in the world. Captain Flindt, who has been at sea for 48 years, is planning his retirement - but for his crew, life at sea is far from over. #fisherman #documentary #deepseafishing #pollockfishing #fishtrawler #dangerousjob #modernfishing 🔵 WELT DOKU YouTube Channel / weltdoku 🔵 The WELT news livestream / @weltvideotv 🔵 WELT Podcasts YouTube Channel / weltpodcast 🔵 WELT news channel YouTube Channel / weltvideotv 🔵 WELT Netzreporter YouTube Channel / dienetzreporter 🔵 The top news on WELT.de http://bit.ly/2rQQD9Q 🔵 The media library on WELT.de http://bit.ly/2Iydxv8 🔵 WELT news channel on Instagram https://bit.ly/IGWELTTV 🔵 WELT on Instagram http://bit.ly/2X1M7Hk
