About the Author
“Only a few big waves come along in your life. Stories of Alaska fishing fired me up as a young man. I had to go, but could I endure it? My story is truly a family thing. We’re like astronauts. The only thing we don’t bring is the air we breathe.” - Jack Molan
Capt. Jack lives with Joanne, his wife of 41 years, aboard a classic wooden boat. His three adult children and wife have all worked in the fishing industry in Alaska. Capt. Jack commanded the Fishing Vessel Columbia for 28 years. He also captained the “Deadliest Catch” boats Aleutian Ballad and Cornelia Marie and Arctic Research Vessel Norseman II.
