Anyone Know This Guy?

[AkBearHunter]

So have you met Sig Hanson from the Northwestern? That dude is wound up way to tight but he knows how to fish. It's amazing Phil hasn't had a major coronary with the shit he puts up with on his boat, plus the smoking and all. Still, it would be cool to listen to them boys talk fishing for one night in some bar out in bumfuk Alaska.

Easy to get wound,with that much stuff going on...though Crabbing is pretty mundane compared to many Fisheries.

I much preferred Dragging,as it's a potpourri of sorts and like Xmas with every tow. Shrimping beats Crabbing in my book and Midwater Trawling is a gas,becuse you flat pound the volume.

All of it is on Limits and watered-down anymore and the fun is gone....................

Sig sold out the fishery to Russian crab. He's doing advertising for a seafood dealer down south selling Russian crab that's been under cutting the price of real Alaskan crab for a few years. He's not the most liked guy in the fleet and I heard he got in a bit of a pickle in Dutch by throwing the first punch. I figure if your going to sell out then you better be able to put up with the ridicule.
Phil's boys also got in a bit of a pickle at the Mecca last fall. Being a hollywood fisherman don't sit well here since the fleet went from 250 boats to 90 in one season due to rationalization. H@ll I ain't even a fisherman and I walked up to the bar a couple weeks ago right next to Blake from the Maverick. Lets just say he wasn't to happy when I walked away a couple minutes later with my drinks and he was still standining there. His jacket sure looked nice though....

The Beachcomber and Solly's still around? Haven't puked in Kodiak,in quite some time.

Fishing quit being Fishing,when everything went to limits and being watered down...................

Sounds like the logging in Western Washington during the Spotted Owl Farce...

 

[TBinKodiak]

Beachcomber's is now the Salvation Army and Solly's is Henry's Restaurant. Kodiak has aged and mellowed with the fleet. They paved the road out past Pasagshak two years ago and there are houses all the way to the fence of the Navy SEAL base on Spruce Cape now. There's still a little logging over on Afognak but its been a pretty small crew over there for a number of years now.
Cod and Halibut prices have been strong this year and it sounds like salmon will be good to. Only problem is $4.20 diesel is going to eat up a lot of those profits.

I don't think i'd call being thrown around on a deck convered in ice, fighting 40 foot seas, and dodging 800 pots mundane but I've never commercial fished so all I have to go by is what I see on that show.

Stick I have to trump you once again. First off, fisting is nowhere near as cool as hunting - and I've hunted and drank beer with both John Wayne and Forrest Gump at the same time. If it's snowing this weekend, I may have to upload the video of this discussion because it's pretty funny.

 

[BuzzH]

That picture is a classic...man thats funny.

Who needs a mel dutton decoy when you can just pop up the duke?

 

[TLC]

Greenhorn, agree with you that hunting is way more cool than fishing. but with the way this thread started out, maybe you want to change "fisting" to fishing?

TLC...I'm beginning to notice a trend. You killed my Hmo joke, now your working on GH's fisting post. Maybe he wanted to type fisting. I mean, just last year Steelhead and Stick were busted fisting each other. Even if you're right, try not to ruin the humor, bud.

 

[The Hedgehog]

Are there serious fistermen among us?

 

[Big Sky]

Isn't Babe Winkleman a big time fisterman?

TB,

I lived 2yrs on Afognak and loved it.

AK,

There's lots of stuff that you have not done and it is greatly humorous,that such things do not prevent you commenting upon same.

As to the Gay Parade...to each their own and I find it curious that so many wish to brag upon playing the flute..........................

You must have been starved for attention there as well.

Ovis, sorry, don't mean to be stealing your thunder.

Stick, may regret this, but what the hell is an afognak? hoping its a boat?

and now not sure if watching the deadliest catch will be the same knowing Sid, Sig, whatever his name is, got his azz whooped up on.:BLEEP:

Afognak is an island north of Kodiak...full of natives and inbred white men...maybe a few brown bear or elk. Some of those white men get blacklisted and sent to places like Prince of Wales, or the slope to change tires.

 

[TLC]

Ovis, until you said the stuff about bears, thought you were talking about alabama.....natives and inbred white men......maybe even tennessee.
