Longest working period was 56 hours. Actually working, pulling / getting fish out of the net or fighting the waves. Rarely slept 4 or more hours for 5 weeks. Drift netting. Other types of fishing or season might be better or worse, depending on what Fish & Game allows. Realistically, a mechanic / First Mate sleeps less and does more than me. I'm First on a Tender (fish receiver), but Captain is also a mechanic because he's competent. Literally paid to watch Lord of the Rings and eat candy that the Fishing Office gave us. Tendering can be ass when the fishing is good because you can end up sleeping less than the fishermen, but you get paid the same fixed rate on a Tender, so you don't care about the fishermen / fish in that way. Want to experience Alaska? Fuck off, we're full. Otherwise, Tendering work if you can get it.
