If you look at the photo below you can see how the barrels come up and onto that stainless steel rail system where they go up to that table and are sorted and dumped.

You see hauling stations like this aboard the boats on The Deadliest Catch. Open to the elements, not too fun in shitty weather conditions.

Possibly the cleanest dragger of all time. It looks like a pleasure boat it’s so clean. Video coming.

This is the view looking down at The Patriot Engine. Matteo runs a GM in The Patriot and GM engines are usually painted green. Matteo painted his red because this particular model of GM engine is called a Screamin’ Demon.

Matteo Russo took me for a tour of his dragger The Patriot. Nice boat, and very clean, it is built like a tank.
You can tell a lot about a boat’s owner by how well it’s engine room is maintained. Matteo’s Patriot engine room is spotless, much like Clark Sandler’s Sea Farmer II, Cape Seafood’s Boats and The Western Venture.

In this photo you see the deck of Matteo Russo’s Patriot. In the top of the picture is his stern trawler net reel. The reason it is called a stern trawler is because the net is set from this reel from the STERN of thge boat. You see in the picture the net wrapped around the net reel.
Then in the middle of the deck you see pen boards. Pens and pen boards can be above deck or below deck. The pen boards fit into channels which section off portions of the deck or the hold of the boat where the fishermen sort fish or dump the fish out from the net when the net comes aboard. Down below different pens are used for different species.
