    After missing his flight home from Sitka, Alaska, Charlie Berens gets a job on a fishing boat for the summer to make enough money to buy a new plane ticket home. Charlie relies heavily on his experience of catching walleye, bass, and perch back home on the lakes of Wisconsin but might be out of his depth when ocean fishing for King Salmon in Alaska.

    This is awesome! I was a deckhand for Skipper Eric back in my college days. I had zero experience and easily got seasick. I think the only reason he took me was I was good friends with his sons.
    After a week of getting sick my equilibrium reset to a steady sway and I felt better.
    Easily the hardest job I have ever had, 5am to 10pm every day when we were on the water. We would come back to town ever few days or so to sell. But if you weren’t fishing you weren’t making any money.
    Charlie, you picked the right guy to take you out. Eric is a class act and a patient teacher.

      To be honest I don't think it's either I think he might just sound like that from all the screaming he might have to do on the boat I don't know what it's like to be on a boat but I'm sure it's pretty noisy out there.
