Deadliest Catch

Posted by Matthew McEwen

We were watching Deadliest Catch, the do-or-die crabbing reality show when I remembered that a friend of mine and I were going to try and work on the fishing fleet in Alaska for summer employment during college. I think he actually paid $25 for the catalog of the ships and information. Although it would have been fun freezing to death, working 20 hour shifts, playing with dangerous sharp instruments (they were jobs like grinder and fish masher) and of course smelling like ripe fish, we decided that it probably was not the greatest idea.
