… I spent a few years typing that sentence into Google, and I never really came up with anything, until only today, when I came across someone's blog, that had "trolling Atlantis" on it instead of "patrolling Atlantis". So, I found the song that way, by sheer awesome luck. Thanks!

MirakelRakel @ 1:02 pm

wow. Really. I …
wow. Really. I remember hearing this song a few times when I was probably no more than ten or eleven years old, and I fell in love with it immediately. However, I never could get anybody to tell me the name of it, or who it was by, and the only scrap of lyrics I could remember was something I thought said "tell my wife I'm patrolling Atlantis"…

I have seen my self Russian and Japense trawler come into NC waters and steal thousands of pounds of tuna. Those bastards need to be sunk.

Giantfaninfla @ 1:02 pm

It was not the …
It was not the regular fishermen who made things bad. We had trawlers do that. They out nets out on huge ships and took everything. Mostly foreign.

I fished in NJ (not for my living). Year by year with the Russian and Japanese ships sport fishing disappeared (we never took more than we used).

I can only imagine what that did to people who, for generations, did the fishing for their lives

I'm not judging. …
I'm not judging. I'm just stating some facts. It's August already and I think I've earned around $10,000. I'm self employed as well so I know whats its like to live without knowing whats around the corner. 3 years ago I made $15,000. So when people start complaining about money I just don't have time to listen. A farmer of the family earned around $70,000 2 years ago part time. With his write offs it looked like he was in the minus. So he goes around telling people he lost money which is a lie.

IrishLincoln @ 1:02 pm

This past year was …
This past year was -876 US dollars. This year I hope for around 16 grand (at best) and I own a 276 acre farm. You don't know the circumstancs so don't judge. Farmers and fishermen work for the government now. I am out next year. I am selling my allotments and land trust. DONE. Going to start teaching.

zcr19 @ 1:02 pm

If we get good …
If we get good weather, prices, and good catches we can earn anywheres from 50-70 grand but if we have a bad year like last year we make just over 25 grand.

I never saw this on tv at all….Was it banned?
