 Live Chat with Jake Anderson, May 6, 2008Jump to a Page: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | Sarahlu03: What is your bunk like on the Northwestern? Do you have any pictures of family and friends? Jake Anderson: I got the ADFG (Alaska Department of Fish and Game) map of the Bering Sea, it's got like St. Paul, St. Matthew, Aleutians. I have maps because I want to be able to run the boat. I want to have a future with the company, so I like to have charts. djdebsing: So what do you think of the Jake versus Jake on the Wiki site? Jake Anderson: I was sick that day and got to the boat and we had to trash talk each other. I was puking. I was like trash talking, walked the rail to get sick and then walk back. I haven't seen it, but I heard it's pretty funny. We wear way cooler clothes than anybody on the other boats. PA2B: Hey Jake! My friend thinks you're the best thing since sliced bread. Are you single? Jake Anderson: I am single and I haven't had a girlfriend since Valentine's Day. She broke up with me at the place she was a bartender at. Very, very, very single! And I'm not a cheater :-) crabfan87: How long did Edgar make you wear the cod? Jake Anderson: A couple of hours. That's what they love having me on the boat for. None of them wear their knife, but they make me wear a cod; make an example out of me to scare everyone else. Everyone's afraid of him on the boat, everyone except for me. He's like my older brother. I know we complain and get dirty, but he's never taken it too far with me. He's never crossed the line. Nick Mavar is a different story, but Edgar Hansen loves me like a little brother. We're really close, as much as I hate him! Just kidding! :-) Zack: What's that scariest thing that has ever happened to you? Jake Anderson: You'll have to watch to find out, it's coming up. Setting gear when the pots are stacked on their doors. in rough weather, that's always going to come close. That means the pots are standing up really high. You do that when you're sending out your gear at the beginning of the season, you have to stack them right in order to fit all the pots on board and keep the boat from tipping. So, you have these 8' pots that tip real easy, it's dangerous. Stuff like that you can't see on the show. I guarantee you if you saw it, you'd be scared. Anyone would be. Our whole life is based on being around death, you see it standing on the bridge and know if you're going to jump you'll die. It's like that all over. If I stick my hand here, I'm going to die. If I look this way or that way, I'm going to die. If I don't pay attention I'm going to die. Really, you can't see that stuff on the show. Headin2Alaska: Jake, I appreciate the fact that you stand up for yourself but don't you think that it would make life a lot easier for all involved if you tried to get along with your deckmates? Have you and Matt made up since the season ended? Jake Anderson: Me and Matt made up right after that. We're like brothers, I'm not lying when I say that. So for me and him to get into a scuffle, that's not anything that bothered us. That's normal life on a crab boat. As far as me and Matt making up, he's my best friend. I'll back him up until the day I die. He'd take a bullet for me and I would for him. That's the truth. I love him. He's one of the toughest fisherman out there. He might whine or complain a little bit, but the fact is you can take Matt into any weather, any situation, he can take any order. He doesn't have a problem with it. Barbara: What's the longest amount of time while fishing you've been without food and also without sleep? Jake Anderson: With me, I'm so high strung I can't eat. You have to watch what you eat or you'll be drained. On our boat, all of us are professionals, I can't really say I am, but we all eat and we're fast enough we can always get something to eat and make it back without being late. Sleep? 40-something hours for me. They've all done 60 some hours. That's straight, no breaks, no sleep. I think it was 44. stormsbrew: What is the stupidest thing you did as a greenhorn on your first season? Jake Anderson: I have to think about that, I'll get back to you. |
