Billy Prime Joins us today to share his story from recovery and clinging to the sea to keep him afloat.

Captain Jeff Klein, in his own words has been on more boats than he remembers, his passion for "Our" fishery, and yes i mean Our fishery to anyone who makes  living on the water comes out in this episode.

Captain Bart Eaton joins us again, this time to tell the story of the very first Pollock Trip conducted by American Fishermen in Alaskan Waters. This man is dear to my heart and his stories always get me with his way of telling them. This one is especially great as he tells us of the first Pollock trip in Alaskan Waters as well as watching the demand for what has become the most sustainable and commercially marketed species in the US in the Last 45 years, we are not trying to take anything away from our spectacular Salmon runs as the State Of Alaska Manages its fisheries far beyond any other.
