(FullRick Name)Fehst's Bio: Season 4 marksRick's first season as captain for the lucrative Early Dawn. As a young man he decided to become a crab fisherman, and after serving only three years as a greenhorn, was given his first opportunity to skipper a vessel. Ever since then he has worked hard on numerous boats as both deckhand and captain. In 2005, he joined the crew of the Early Dawn, and at 43 years of age he is proud to be at the helm.
Capt. Rick Fehst loves his job! In his 25 years in the Bering Sea, Rick has only missed one crab season due to injury. Fishing is his passion and he hopes to do it until the age of 60. It is rare for him to fish any less than eight months out of every year, catching red king, golden king and opilio crab.
Rick has been married for 15 years and has two children. While rarely at home in Edmonds, Wash., he enjoys working on his house and in the garden during his shore leave.
