“I’ve Fished From Nome To Mexico”
Sez Veteran Skipper Louis Wick
“I’ve fished for everything there
is to fish for.
“I’ve fished from Nome to Mex
ico.
“I’ve fished for 51 of my 08
years.
“So I guess you might describe
me as a fisherman.”
Having thus established his iden
tity, Skipper-owner Louis Wick of
the boat Eldorado, turned his gaze
back to the various activites of the
moment in the small boat harbor
where his 68-foot diesel-powered
vessel is moored during the pres
ent “slack-season” in the King
Crab fishery.
And it would, for the very rea
sons he stated, be difficult to de
scribe Louis Wick as being any
thing else but a fisherman, and a
highly successful fisherman.
Having spent most of his life m
pursuit of the riches of the sea,
Louis Wick is obviously a man
who loves the ofttimes hard but
frequently rewarding life of a
fisherman.
And having “fished for every
thing there is to fish for,” and
“fished from Nome to Mexico,”
Louis Wick naturally fished for
herring and for halibut, and natur
ally became acquainted with Ko
diak waters early in his career as
a fisherman.
And thus it is not surprising
that Louis Wick was one of the
venturesome and enterprising fish
ermen that pioneered Kodiak’s
King Crab fishery when it was
still but a fledgling business back
in 1955—only seven years ago.
And now, instead of following
the herring, salmon, tuna, halibut,
shrimp and other riches of the
brine during their various cycles
and seasons, Louis Wick is strictly
devoted to the near-year-round
pursuit of the mighty King Crab.

And this is a bit unusual, in
that as plentiful and lucrative as
King Crab is, and as efficient
and/or fortunate as Louis Wick
has been in getting them (and he
is one of the “highliners”), he
has little, if any, affection for the
creature King Crab itself.
It is not that he dislikes eating
King Crab or abhors it’s appear
