Deadliest Catch Dungeness Cove – Meet Captain Kenny Ripka

deadliestcatch-kennyTell me about your careerI’m a commercial fisherman.   I’ve been doing this since I was 14 years old. It’ the only job I’ve ever had in my whole life. How did you get involved in the show?

They found us, but we never thought we’d be on TV. It all started with a phone call. What can viewers expect to see? Viewers will see exactly what it’s like to fish crabs off the coast of Oregon.  It’s highly intense and stressful.  They’ll also see what it’s like to manage home life and fishing. And a lot of crappy weather! Read the rest of the interview here 10:47
