“That video says it all! Captain Jack is the real deal. If he can learn to work through his fears and learn how to thrive in such a crazy dangerous place, so can the rest of us. I loved his talk that I saw in Oregon. Truly inspiring. And his book made me feel like I was on the boat with him!” – Trish Wilkenson

“Thank you Jack, for all the stories and pictures. As a retired Alaska fisherman, often missing it, this is the best way to revisit my 25 years of commercial fishing. Beating ice off the boat, is not what I miss, but the amazing friendships, earned in tight quarters 24/7.” – Poul Toftemark
