Twenty seven year old Jake Anderson grew up in the fishing town Anacortes, WA. Starting at 17, he spent 10 years salmon and cod fishing in Bristol Bay. Jake’s dream was to fish crab on the Northwestern. It’s extremely difficult to get a spot on a crab fishing boat, since crewmembers depend upon each other for their lives and livelihood. Fortunately for Jake, he knew the brother of Nick Mavar, a long time member of the Northwestern crew. With an introduction from Nick’s brother, Captain Sig and the Northwestern crew agreed to give him a shot as greenhorn.
Jake is an ambitious young man. He hopes to run his own business someday. For now, he is looking forward to becoming a full-share crew member on a crab boat. Jake enjoys skateboarding in his spare time.
