I know a marine biologist that had to go out on those boats during a season. apparently these shows do not come close to doing the horrible job justice. And this is a guy who was standing on the side observing.

His estimates about how frequently they "almost loose someone" was incredible.

and I agree, the trab baiter is the freakiest and scariest job on the boat. couldn't pay me enough.


And it my book - that kind of boat fishing counts.

Keep lines wet and tight in the pacific
