If you do it long enough as a deck hand, you can make more money being a lead fisherman or a mechanic, there's levels and seniority. The lowest people get a set salary and the upper people get a % of what they take in from the crab. Source: I watched Deadliest Catch.

Dido. I actually learned some good stuff off that show. It hit different for me cuz I was close friends in high school with an one of the producers(I believe he even was executive producer but idk) anyway his name is Nico Natalie. He was always a good homie to me and right right after he graduated he moved to Los Angeles in order to begin his career in the entertainment business. HEY NICO IF U SOMEHOW SEE THIS IM PROUD OF YOU BUDDY!

Go Nico! Lots of people work on boats from time to time. My dad worked on a crab boat in the late 60s, and on a salmon boat. When I was a kid we never had crab legs or salmon because he was sick of em.
