    My Photo scholarship 2011 entry - A Day in the Life of a Salmon Fisherman - Kodiak, Alaska

    As the boat rounds and meets with the skiff, the crew starts the massive hydraulic wench, called a block, to start bringing the net and fish on board. Efficiency and timing is critical, as other boats circle and wait their turn to make a set. If any mistakes occur, Beverly J could lose her turn in line, and that means losing the next catch of salmon.
