Overview

Get ready to question what's on your dinner plate as Charles Vaught, a broke, nerdy, loveless hippie wannabe-turned-fisherman, spills the guts-literally-of the seafood industry on commercial fishing ship, the Northern Jaeger. Join him as he ventures wildly out of his depth, leaving his comfortable life in rural Washington and climbing aboard his 'Mistress of the Sea' with 100 tough and hardened career fishermen, in search of fortune and glory on the Bering Sea. From back-breaking labor and gleeful fish slaughter, to getting caught with his pants down, weathering violent storms, and learning the ropes of his new role as a viscera technician, Vaught's memoir is a hilarious and eye-opening journey through the commercial fishing industry in the year 2000. Discover the shocking secret of surimi, survive a fully functioning sea factory, and discover why you should probably think twice about that seafood dinner. So much more than a memoir; Vaught's wit makes Northern Jaeger a gut-busting adventure that'll leave you hooked! Charles Vaught is author of State of Fire, a nonfiction book about his experiences as a wildland firefighter in Washington State. Northern Jaeger is his second book. Vaught's upcoming literary adventure will deal with his years spent teaching English in Vietnam.
