Coffee-Table PhotoBook, the "black-&-white documentary" of a unique and fleeting era in Alaska fishing history.

Previously published stories written in the '80s—plus new overview chapters—capturing the voices of fishermen in the middle of the fishing frenzy that destroyed their time-honored way of life. Puts you in the middle of the action as the upheaval in the longline fisheries—halibut and black-cod—unfolds before your eyes, pushed hard by changes in the salmon-troll fishery as well.
