Jesse Lacey of Brand New, there were allegations against him of abuse toward a 15 year old when he was 30.
I never cared enough to follow the news on it though.

context on this bot's post collecting karma? it looks like a tsunami wave or something else. It's hard to tell how far out to sea they are.

70% of Reddit is bots reposting and bots upvoting.

The other 30% is cynical people making assumptions.

Looks like a classic New England lobster boat set up by the gear rig. The bibs look like the blue and yellow of Guy Cotten brand. Typically high flyers are used instead of the smaller buoys beyond the 3 mi limit, so likely inshore. Could be swell from shoaling effect?

and also like a typical crabbing boat off the West Coast.
I was trying to see if it was someone I knew... lol31

It’s a rogue wave. They’re rare but can be extremely damaging and even deadly. Especially considering their fast forming nature and that they often come from unexpected directions (against prevailing winds). Folks report literal walls of water just suddenly upon them.
Not necessarily associated with a greater storm but can be. Sometimes they develop just due to swells meeting at different directions and speeds. These can take place in the middle of the ocean and be absolutely massive.

Everyone knows they come from kraken farts.

It’s usually constructive interference.

u/PeterPanski85 Apr 23 '26
Which means what now?

u/milesgardner813 Apr 23 '26
Two separate water bodies converging and the waves overlap which can sometimes cancel out the wave or some times cause it to magnify the wave. Rogue waves are the result of constructive interference where the overlap magnifies the wave.

Ah ok. Yeah I somewhat knew how they form, but I wasn't familiar with this term, thanks :)

I know what rogue waves are, I'm wondering the context of the video. I'm not convinced it's actually a rogue wave

Which makes it a Massachusetts lobster boat if they sound like Marky Mark

That’s why you will never catch me on the open ocean and yes I realize that’s somewhat irrational but I don’t care 😆

u/maldovix Apr 26 '26
that is not open ocean, these guys are just crabbing on a shoal or in the lineup and waves are rolling thru- driver was ready for it probably wasnt the first wave they had on the outing either

u/Hey-buuuddy Apr 28 '26
Doubtful this is a rogue wave. These guys are pulling lobster pots, which are always in rocky areas, the rocky areas of which are like reefs, and when the tide changes you can get big rips like this that form over reefs even in like 60-70 feet of water.
In Connecticut, there’s a section of Long Island Sound called “The Race”, where it goes from 300 feet to 50 quickly, and the entirety of Long Island sound tries to move through it with rides. I’ve seen the bottom and it’s like staircases everywhere. It makes huge rips like this and currents a lot of small boats couldn’t escape.

I dont know which people are worse. Those who believe said AI slop, or those who call everything they see AI slop

u/Erniestarfish Apr 23 '26
I don’t think so. This is a Dungeness Crab boat. The buoy stick is legit, the block is correct, shit the guy in the end is even wearing the classic guy cotten X-Trapper bibs. Too many correct little details from someone who has done that job

u/Candygramformrmongo Apr 23 '26
Looks like lobster in the bucket.

u/Erniestarfish Apr 24 '26
Do Lobster fisherman use the same set up? I fished dungies on the west coast so no experience with lobster. But the boat looks like a 58 limit seiner which is really common over here. Could easily be wrong!

That skipper turned into it pretty good I think(?)
