Alaska's Bering Sea Fisherman Stories

When I was eighteen, I had a big fascination about Alaska, so I asked my friend Smitty-Harrison Smith-about a fishing job in Alaska. He told me he could get me a job. So I went up to Seattle, Washington, to get on the Jackie Bell, a fifty-eight-foot salmon troller, to go up the Inside Passage, heading up to Sitka, to commercial fish in the Fairweather Range. We were fishing for Chinook salmon. This is where my forty-year journey started. This book is a collection of stories from my journals during my experience fishing all over the Bering Sea and the Pacific Ocean.
