Is it true that you was the proud owner of the F/V WIZARD also in the the late 80's and converted it from the Naval Refueling ship?? Then you and your father sailed it down thru the Panama Canal to finish having it fitted for a crab boat??Then once you started crabbing in the King Crab Heyday & before the F&G stepped in and ruined it with the New IFQ Quota System.Then you purchased your other boat and then in Season 5 opies you came to the Timebandit.I ask because i have a website called the Crabbers Corner and we are doing Stories about the Boats and there crews and since i did not see very much background as to how you got started in crabbin 33 yrs ago we was just wondering how you got your start.Like i know Capts Johnathan & Andy have been doing it there whole life.They learned the ropes to be awesome fisherman & Crabbers from there Father John Wesley Hillstrand who started in 1964 and taught his sons all 5 of them how to be the best.I know it takes a special breed to be a Fisherman on the Bering Sea whether it be fighting the Ice & Artic storms in Jan or fighting the Herring boats wanting the Timebandit to be there Tender.It takes a special Breed and with 33 yrs under you belt i take it you also fished along side Capt Phil Harris over the yrs.He will be missed by Millions of people all over the world and i enjoy watching the Timebandit & watching you work the deck and show these young bucks it don't matter how old ya are and i think you show them its just not a YOUNG MANS GAME!! KEEP ROCKIN J.J!!

One step ahead of me as always, Crusher! It's me, Wen, from the other page. Inquiring minds want to know! And yes, it is awesome that you're able to work the deck like you do, JJ. Show those young whippersnappers what you're made of!
