That's some hardcore fishing, Phillian. Very Deadliest Catch... minus the crabs.

Same fishery, just a different season. Bristol Bay is just the inward region between the Aleutian islands and the Bering Sea. Flying into and out of King Salmon, Egegik or Adak is a trip.

Most of the crabbing rigs (Deadliest Catch boats and crews) work as tenders offshore during the summer. Know a few of them personally. Not a bad thing to say about anyone. People that live or work in Alaska are just a different breed.
 
pfft I have WAY better bluesteel pictures than those but if we want to get into the really embarrassing photos.. here is me circa 2000 with my vanilla ice hair cut and my "I think Im cool because I have a 20 dollar silver chain draped OVER my shirt" look. Complete with early indicators of a future career in internet marketing (note the cheesy headset).

My wife's uncle captains a crab rig up in the Bering. Toughest mfer I know, definitely on my "do not go to the bar with" list, people end up broken and bleeding. Alaskan's are a different breed.

Props to all the lovely ladies of WF!
