i hate the pots, the string is the most fun



I've done all types of fishing and ****. Lake Tahoe was lots of fun, went shark fishing a bunch of times, and i live on a lake too lol.



but yea i know commercial crabbing and fishing is some hardcore stuff, im sure i could handle it the only thing that could eventually get to me is the smell

The smell on a crab boat isnt bad at all, you smell REAL FRESH air. You are outside the whole time. And LOTS of people say they can do it. The only way to know for sure is to do it. It takes ALOT of will power... your mind has to be strong. You will feel more sick than you ever have in your entire life, and you will still have to work VERY hard for over 30 hours at a time. Its tough, and most people cant do it. Thats why they make good money.

Didn't I see something like that on TLC or the Discovery Channel? Like "The most dangerous job in the world" or something like that?



Maybe if I was single, buffed, +100lbs, and nothing going for me in life, then I'd do it. That, or the military.

Yeah, its the #1 dangerous job in the world. Lots of people die doing it.. but its not as bad as people think. Think of it like this.. I can make 100,000 or more and only work 4 months of the year.
