You should at least put up a few paragraphs from the article to support a statement like that. Otherwise, it could be misleading. How many commercial guys were involved?

I had a friend who worked on the crab boats in Alaska. there's money to be made, but you work like a dog, and if something screws up and the boat sinks, you will be floating in 600-2000 feet of freezing water until you are rescued, IF they get to you in time.

Salmon/herring is a little easier fishing, but it's no picnic either. The season is limited for commercials.

Now, if you were to say that 10 guys particpated in that pot, I would have to agree with you. without numbers, it's hard to put it into perspective.
