How To Be An Alaskan Fisherman

Corey Arnold shares his incredible journey through the trials and tribulations of becoming an Alaskan fisherman. Popularized by the discovery channel show, The Deadliest Catch, Alaskan king crab fishing is one of the most dangerous professions in the world. I, like many others, thought that becoming a crab fisherman simply meant signing a life contract and getting on the Bering Sea during crab season, oh how wrong I was. The 'glamour' of making such large sums of money in such a short time has to be earned and not given. The full story is a short read with many incredible pictures, and can be found Here. Definately worth gaining an insight into such a foreign adventure.

There's more than just crab fishing here in Alaska. Salmon and halibut is a big thing in my town.
