I’m Josh Pierson, skipper of Papa’s Catch, a 32-foot gillnetter in Bristol Bay, Alaska. After spending 12 years as a deckhand, I started running my own boat in 2012. I live and work alongside my amazing crew mates, who are also some of my oldest friends, for two months every summer. The rest of the year, I work at a school in Southborough, MA, and live in Harvard, MA, with my wife, two kids, a three-legged dog, and a three-legged cat.
