Eating the head of a herring, one boat's tradition for the greenhorn before they set the first cage. I'd try for another boat personally. :lol:
Next week: Jake takes the wheel. This is a kid who has grown into a man over the past few seasons.

The boats:
Cornelia Marie
TYPE: 128-foot house aft
Number of POTS: 180
* KING CRAB CAPACITY: 312,000 lbs
* BUILT: 1989 – Alabama
* CATCH SEASONS: 1 to 6
Captain: Captain Derrick Ray
Engineer: Steve Ward
Deckhand: Josh Harris
Deckhand: Jake Harris
Deckhand: Freddy Maugatai
Greenhorn: Ryan Simpson
The original Cornelia Marie had a extensive rebuild in 1995 that added 21 feet to her overall length and increased her catch holding capacity to one of the highest for a crabber. She is named after Cornelia Marie Devlin, a co-owner of the boat who handles much of the daily business of the boat's operation. The Cornelia Marie's twin Mitsubishi engines generate 630 horsepower for a top speed of around 10 knots but they've often been an engineer's — and captain's — nightmare.

The Northwestern was built by Sverre Hansen, a pioneer in the Alaskan king crab fishery and the father of Sig, Edgar and Norman. The original boat was 108 feet long and specifically designed to harvest king and tanner crabs in the Bering Sea. A few years later, when the king crab catches collapsed, the Northwestern became one of the first boats to fish for opilio crabs. Throughout the 1980's the Hansens and their boat kept busy fishing during most of the year by following the various crab populations' seasonal patterns. Twice since then the Northwestern has been lengthened to pack more crab and carry more pots.
