'Hook, Line & Sisters'

Yet another reality TV show about Alaska commercial fishing is set to make its premiere.

Hook, Line & Sisters will focus on fisherman Dean Anderson and family.

Deckboss understands the one-hour opening episode will feature this year's Sitka herring fishery, with six more episodes taking in salmon seining at Chignik.

The series website describes Anderson as "a grizzled sea dog known for his aggressive fishing."

The series begins Thursday night and runs through Feb. 2 on TLC. Check your local listings for times.

They couldn't have picked a better year to film seining on chignik. At Last documentation for the board of fish to really see how rough they have it there.

The Board of Fish?

You mean the Board of Screaming Flea Productions?

43 See Grunert I, 109 P.3d at 935.

44 The dissenting opinion suggests that we are drastically
chang[ing] the discussion by identifying a new flaw in the
cooperative scheme the fact the emergency regulation allowed
permit holders to benefit economically from the work of others.
Dissent at 32. But in Grunert I we stated that the Chignik
cooperative fishery scheme is fundamentally at odds with [the
idea of active individual participation] because it allows people
who are not actually fishing to benefit from the fishery
resource. 109 P.3d at 935 (emphasis added). The cooperative
scheme addressed in Grunert I differed from the cooperative
scheme we consider here, but our conclusion is the same: The
legislature must give the board statutory authority to create a
fishery scheme in which permit holders profit from the harvests
of other permit holders.

45 We were informed at oral argument that our decision may
affect other cooperative fisheries. We express no opinion about those fisheries. We have been given no specific information
about those fisheries and at oral argument it appeared there were
disputes about how each of those fisheries should be defined,
such as whether any of them involves a single fishery.

Even Malcolm Jamie Ross knows the chignik cooperative fishery was a farce. Where's he now? Who's fishery is he f@&$king up now? The way he's moving he'll be in southeast soon. Then he will have to do battle with football head himself. That can be good or bad. Only time will tell.

HOOK, LINE & SISTERS is an inside look into a little explored territory - the wild, unpredictable and competitive world of deep-sea commercial fishing. Patriarch Dean Anderson is a grizzled sea dog known for his aggressive fishing as much as his salmon hauls. As captain of the Memry Anne, he squares off against rival fisherman, hungry sharks and his own hardworking family. His wife, Susan, spends as much time refereeing familial feuds as managing the family's finances..."

And the hungry sharks' who can't make it fishing...Jamie Ross? Unexplored Territory from a Social Services Agency.

Where Fishermen have to explain the fishing laws, to the Board, Law, and the rest of the brain dead reality show on dispay, right here in Chignik!

Ohh, Ohh Ohh Jamies Cryin...

Raked over the Coals?
Jamie Ross and Associates, Raking themselves over the Coals, by the Majority!

"...I think that it changes sort of the economic model in another sort of more fundamental way as well. Under the limited entry system, holders who don't do well for whatever reason -- bad luck, bad judgment, bad finances, bad equipment, who knows -- are going to economically suffer, and ultimately
their option is to -- you know, their end game is to sell the permit, get out of the fishery, and some new entrant will arrive on the scene. Under the co-op system, those who for whatever set of reasons are less able to succeed economically will rationally opt to participate as minimally as possible.
Ten deliveries only and then they stop. That permit remains in their hands and new people don't come in, whether those are new people from the local community or from Anchorage or from
Seattle, that doesn't matter, but there is going to be less turnover. That may be a wiser system. I'm not making a judgment as to which is better, but they are clearly different, and the first is the one that is set up by the Act, and I think the second system is not permitted by the Act. Perhaps that should be changed, but that's not my call...

Never one to let the minor matter of a major holiday get in the way of fighting, Union and Confederate troops in Florida continued their usual activities today. Ships and town alike were bombarded by Federal naval forces around Pensacola today. Returning the favor, Confederate troops bombarded the dickens out of Fort Pickens. That installation, an Army base from conflicts long before the Civil War, never left Union control.

Couldn't agree more with poster on12/31 @10:34a.m. and 2:26p.m.

JT Granger or whom it concerns,
Are you some kind of arm-chair fisherman or what? Do you even fish? Probabally somebodys deckhand in BB for a whole month and a half long season. No-body cares about the co-op any more. If you were so smart you would would no that Dean was part of the original lawsuit to stop Jamie and the co-op.
About the only thing I agree with bobbyt on this fish blog, is that you need to come out of your moms basement sometimes and get some air.
You would'nt even last one opener fishing with Dean.

The dude with the tin foil hat that's two sizes too small is mostly just boring. He needs to get a new schtick.

They use to troll all the way out to False pass, Dutch and beyond. Trolling is a state wide permit, it should open back up. If some people in Homer and a few other places could have there way, it will. I think it would be a good thing, to show some of you guys out west what a true high quality salmon looks like.

We used to be able to do a lot of things years ago that we can't do now, unfortunately. It would be a good thing for troll permit values, if you happen to own one, but for others in the established fisheries, maybe not so much.

Its always boring, when 3 sizes are too small at Petersburg Packing, a little political subdivision, shown best at the CBC Club, S.E. Seine Buyback Program.

"political subdivisions" quite a concept when your red CBC Hat, is a bit too big, to hold in those 3 big braincells, in the basement at SEAS, CFEC, UFA, and Petersburg Packing.

It's a great big state, with quite a few small brains, shown best with Petersburg Packing Co, a "political subdivision" where 3 braincells can never be covered by that CBC Hat size 19 sizes to large!

Knowledge of the truth IS a heavy burden if you intend to twist it and use it to your personal gains illegally. I don't have that problem.

I prefer to better the industry as a whole, not to steal from within. Plenty to "go around" for honest efforts.

And, thanks for recognizing my bad-assedness fishing abilities, I'll try not to get too swelled up in the head. You're probably not that bad yourself, keep practicing and you too may have a shot at attaining the upper levels of the trade.

Well, this has to be close to the most imbecilic post I've ever read here. First of all, personally, I always found those 'loading up' feelings were greater with herring than salmon. When you place it in the 'bigger dick' catagory all sympathies for your mental impairment go out the window. You are one pathetic clown.

Ive run a seiner 30 years and caught around 38 million pounds during that time - averaging 2 million pounds a year since 2001

There's alot of different styles, approaches to seining

The important thing on this show is to show the good side of seiners and of the ak commfish industry and adfg

So long as this family does this -rock onandersons

I've been lucky-made sure there were no breakdowns-had great crew-good processors

There's hundreds of exceptional seiners in Alaska

Some of these guys are even highliners

Eye candy is nice on the boat but there is way too much estrogen involved. I know of a few skippers out there with only daughters who must think to themselves regularly 'Fack, I wish I had sons who I could just tell to STFU when they come into my wheelhouse.'

This whole family knows how to work!

I fished Crab for years, one thing is certain and that is Dean knows how to work hard. He is a die hard! I really like this show. Hope his bad luck is done for a long time. His girls are being taught by a very good fisherman and they are pretty good fishewomen as well. Keep it up.

Anonymous said...

Great show! You sure don't own a boat like that being a lowliner. Even if your dad was a good fisherman and got you started in the business. Fishing is all about hard work and paying your dues. Dean's actually as genuine as they come. He gets caught up in the moment. He's not afraid to take risks and fail, sometimes it works for him sometimes it blows up in his face. Still you have to treat people how you would like to be treated. But I do have to say if I was getting 2,000 fish a haul I would want to get unloaded too.

Just be another idiot, and you too can get a job on the White Star Line, for politically correct skippers, without a clue.

For example, the best in the world!

Next vessel;

Edward J. Smith, skipper White Star Line
HMS Titanic, sister ship Olympic, and the politically correct skipper, it works the same in any ocean.

Dean's a freak?

And that just depends on the meaning of the term freak?

I wish they would show the Grizzled Sea Dog in Sitka a few years ago crashing into the Confidence, litigating the collision while there's a huge load of herring dying alongside, nearly losing the boat, and losing the entire load of fish. Getting around them is only half of it when your in the deep water. He certainly is fun to watch.
