I spent 8 years crabing up there and saw countless ideas that failed. In the end it's some ground hearing and a couple of cod hanging in the pot is what draw the crab in. As far as being relatively shallow; it is relatively shallow compared to the 5000 foot depths beyond the chain but King Crab are still 200 to 500 feet down and Opilio even deeper, and Brown or Golden Crab deeper yet. I remember fishing Brown King Crab at 400 fathoms (2400 feet). If you think the deadliest catch seems dangerous you should ask discovery to film Crabbing by long line out on the chain. It is Crabbing on steroids. I measure all I do in my life against the time I spent up there and nothing compares. Not even a tour in Iraq with the National Guard as a Cav Scout seemed dangerous. War by comparison is mild. It makes me proud. It makes me think how lucky I was to not even sustain a serious injury in 8 years and how Mark JJ Mateuski was killed on his first trip. I often and think of the three men I called friends aboard the Pace Setter. Not a day passes without some reflection of my time in Alaska. If you are considering giving it a go, think long and hard about how much misery you can withstand without folding. Yes the work is difficult, and the hours are long but for me it was the compounding misery that made the biggest impact. Cold, wet, tired, sweaty, unshowered, sore, salt burning the eyes, fingers smashed, dinged in the head with a door, slip on a heavy roll, etc etc. WHAT IS YOUR LIMIT? It’s been tried.

It Just happens to be the best show on television! Even the old reruns are worth watching over and over again I have been hooked since season 1, these guys are brutally honest, about how they feel about crabbing and the camera's in thier face, thats what makes it so good. I hope Phil has rested and recooperated during this long abscence, we sure missed him. As for all you other captains out there in Alaska I missed you too. Those lobstermen, and big fishermen can't hold a candle to my crab guys. Keep them coming we need more lots more like you.

It was an emotional day, but we managed to laugh too. We left flowers for the boys at the Memorial. Adam and Ryan were the highlights of my trip. Seeing them in person has given me a real sense of being able to move forward. Meeting with one of the other Moms was comforting and I wish I hadn't felt too ill to spend more time with her the next day. Also we met with a former Katmai fisherman who has been a strong support for me during this last year. He knows how much I love him. Finally, for the other man who joined us at the Memorial, thank you for your kindness. I only hesitate to mention your name because of your current situation, and I am afraid that I might complicate that. But you know who you are, and we alll appreciated spending time with you. The Katmai fund will be receiving an influx of funding in the next couple of months. The final amount will be influenced by whether certain people who are in a position to donate do so or not. We welcome donations of any amount and will be releasing a statement from our Board of Directors soon. Some of the families met in Seattle yesterday with two of the survivors.
