I am sort of thinking about taking a job on an Alaskan fish processing boat. It is 2-3 months and between $3500 - $5000 a month.
So has anyone done this before? If you did how was it?

I never did it, but my buddy did one summer.
He said that Alaska was amazing, but that working on a fishing boat fucking blows.
Then again, it's a goddamn boat full of fish so you already knew that
I like ducks. -

I have had many "commercial fishing" friends.
Sounds like tough work.
I want to experience it - first hand.
For sure.Comment

Man, I saw this one story where they repainted one of those fishing boats but changed the painted line on the hull.
So when the dock workers stacked the crab traps they overloaded it and when the boats went out they capsized.. .
The crew did not fare well.. .
That high pay prob is to compensate for higher risk.
