We owe them a debt of gratitude,” say Laurilee Thompson, owner of Dixie Crossroads Seafood Restaurant. In her quest for more than 50 world fishing records, Christine Perez fought some of the ocean’s biggest gamesters. But now Christine is battling the toughest fight of her life against cancer. For over 25 years Troy and Christine Perez have been fishing, hunting and surfing all over the world. They have been a huge part of our fishing community for years, helping with fishing seminars, tournaments and sharing their wealth of knowledge of fishing. Together they hold so many world records it’s to many to count. They are always together and share a deep passion for the outdoors; they are a true husband and wife team.

We are all deeply saddened by the passing of Capt. Phil last February. He was a devoted father and loyal friend to all who knew him. We will miss his straightforward honesty, wicked sense of humor and enormous heart — in every way, he was a true American legend.
Phil was a star of Deadliest Catch from the series premiere in 2005, but what we all shared on TV for just a few years was only a small part of his life as a fisherman and father. He worked for 18 years as captain and co-owner of the Cornelia Marie and for 32 years in the fishing industry. The son of a fisherman, Phil is also the father of Jake and Josh Harris who both served — and learned — under him on the Cornelia Marie.

Seattle Times: Capt. Sig Hansen’s memoir…..

northwesternpat — Sun, 28 Mar 2010 20:08:12 +0000

Sig recently sat down with Jack Broom to discuss all things North including the now Sixth Season of Deadliest Catch which airs April 13th.

Sig Hansen admits this: He doesn’t read a lot of books. And the idea of doing one himself sounded like more trouble than this “Deadliest Catch” skipper could tolerate, even though people around him had been suggesting it for years. But once a publicist connected Hansen, who lives in Shoreline, with Montana-based outdoor writer Mark Sundeen, things fell into place. Read the Full Story

Save Bristol Bay

northwesternpat — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 05:57:49 +0000

Pebble Mine advocates call for boycott of Seattle restaurants serving wild salmon from Bristol Bay, Alaska. As food blogger Ronald Holden put it, “Are they crazy?”

Here’s the dish: a media firestorm erupted this week because thirteen of Seattle’s finest seafood restaurants stepped up in support of protecting Bristol Bay’s salmon fishery (where I got my own start as a salmon fisherman) from the proposed Pebble Mine by serving and featuring Bristol Bay salmon on their menus.

In response to the positive press coverage of this Bristol Bay salmon promotion (part of Trout Unlimited’s Savor Bristol Bay campaign), there was a backlash from the Pebble folks, namely from the Truth About Pebble’s Board Member, Gail Phillips, who called for a boycott of these restaurants and from the Pebble Partnership’s CEO, John Shively, who denounced the chefs as a bunch of yuppie foodies from the big city who don’t know anything about how hard it is to live in rural Alaska. Little did Gail and John realize that they would feed the fire and help get the story in the New York Times, the LA Times, the Seattle Times, Seattle PI, the Washington Post, the Anchorage Daily News, and over 200 other media outlets. Here is today story in the Seattle PI: Save the salmon by eating salmon

I know where I’ll be eating dinner tonight, one of the thirteen Seattle restaurants serving wild salmon from Bristol Bay, Alaska. Those restaurants include: Art of the Table, Chiso, Emmer & Rye, Flying Fish, Persimmon, Ponti Seafood Grill, Rover’s Restaurant, Steelhead Diner, Tilth Restaurant, Tilikum Place Cafe, The Pike Brewing Co., Palace Kitchen and Etta’s Seafood.

Join me in supporting Alaska’s commercial fishermen and Seattle’s chefs and restaurants by voting with your fork and Savoring Bristol Bay!
