Q: How many years can you expect to fish like this?
A: I probably have 10 more years in me maybe. I don't know. Hopefully, I'll figure out what I want to be when I grow up by then and start doing that.
Q: Do you guys fish for anything else? Besides all the crabs?
A: Yes. I fish salmon in the summer, with my gill netter. The boat never stops. The boat goes to Kodiak for herring, then Bristol Bay in the south east for salmon.
Q: Do you go somewhere warm when it's not crab season? Do you ever think about moving?
A: Yes, I go somewhere warm as much as I can. I don't like being cold. I'm going to sell my house this winter and move somewhere warm, but I'll always live in Alaska during the summer. It's a perfect 60-70 degrees. It's beautiful.
Q: How much do you all smoke a day?
A: I'm down to about a pack, but I was smoking about three packs. I'm trying to quit, but we smoke a lot of cigarettes. It's a pretty high-stress job.
Q: What's your favourite prank so far?
A: My favourite was on the roof with about 100 gallons of water. I got one of the guys, painted a big red X on the dock. He came out and asked what it was for and I hit him with the water; parted his hair right down the middle. That was at the end of the water fight, it started with a glass of water at the beginning of the day.
Q: Do you ever play music on the deck?
A: Yes. Rock 'n roll. The young guys like the rap, but I don't like it. Music gets you through the day.
