Jake Anderson Biography

Born in Anacortes, Washington, Jake Anderson is an American fishing Captain aboard the fishing vessel F/V Saga. He has been featured in the Discovery Channel documentary television series Deadliest Catch since 2007.
Being a fourth-generation fisherman, Jake has always lived close to the sea. He was born in Forks, Washington, and grew up in the fishing town of Anacortes, Washington. He was surrounded by generations of fishermen. After being raised in this rich environment, he took to the sea at an early age with his uncle Brian Mavar.

At only 17, he was fishing salmon off Bristol Bay in Alaska. When 20, he was on a trawler processor and began pot fishing at 25. One year later, he became a greenhorn on the Fishing Vessel Northwestern. He worked there for the next six years.

His hard work and commitment carried him from greenhorn to full-share deckhand to relief deck boss, under the then Captain Sig Hansen. Although he has experienced his fair share of trials, he has also worked to overcome them. Jake has matured and aged dramatically, since his sister’s sudden death and his father’s murder.

 Jake Anderson Skateboarding

Skateboarders ramble the city, surfers ride waves on the beach, and fishing captains fight daily in an endless battle against the ultimate of foes: the sea. For Jake Anderson, captain of his own crab fishing vessel, sailing, fishing, and skateboarding have always been his three major interests.

Though a great skateboarder with a prolific career ahead of him, an injury on his ankle cost him that. He needed to sustain himself, and without being able to skateboard he couldn’t be sponsored by shops, brands or guilds.

It was then that an ocean of opportunities appeared before him; literally. He started getting aboard fishing ships all over the northern West Coast, from Seattle his hometown all up to Alaska, and then down to California mostly as a cabin boy. The skateboarding injury was indeed an accident and a tragedy, but an accident that led him to a new fruitful destiny, not of tragedy but of success.
