Trawlerman

In one of the most intense experiences of his life, Guy Martin takes on what is often called the most dangerous job in the UK – working as a deckhand on a fishing trawler. Not a single trawler still works out of Guy's hometown of Grimsby, one of the country's biggest fishing ports when Guy was growing up. So, Guy has to travel to another famous trawler town, Brixham, in Devon. Here he sets sail for a gruelling 4-day trip on a 30-foot beam trawler called William of Ladram. Under the guidance of the boat's most experienced crew member, Lizard, Guy learns how to land the catch, often manhandling madly swinging nets on the rolling deck to release up to three tons of fish. He's taught how to sort the most valuable fish from the worthless (which are thrown back in) -and then how to gut the catch. It's an energy sapping trip of long brutal shifts, little sleep and the ever-present danger of falling overboard, or being injured by the massive array of heavy equipment he's working with, although Guy will also discover the amazing camaraderie of such a tight knit crew -and the bravery of the 
people who put fish on our plates. He'll also enjoy the freshest fish dinner he's ever had.
