Actually, it was 3 days for time bandit on king crab. My bad. Yeah, they make 10k less than the northwestern, but they get done 5 weeks sooner. 40k for 3 days (actual on the sea work) is better, in my mind, than 54k for 6 weeks. Call me crazy.
The season lasts as long as it takes for the quota to get filled, guys. The time bandit filled its quota in 3 days (king crab), it took some other boats something like 8 weeks. From where I sit in Ohio, I think they should go back to derby fishing.
Watching these guys talk about the Katmai is effing deep, man. Tough ass dudes, all trying not to bawl. God.
