Meet the Crew: The Deckhands

Part 1 of Meet the Crew! You'll hear from Alex, Joey, Josh, and Keegan. They all work full-time on the Legend out of H&M Landing in San Diego.

This is definitely the best crew. I’ve done lots of charter and hands down the best. Literally untangle all the tangles. Very attentive and helpful. Florida and Massachusetts will be back on the boat in November. We had a blast last November with all of you guys. Keep up the great work

What kind of tips can you give to NOT get hooked by an assist hook.

[@FishTheLegend]

The risk for passengers is very low as long as you keep your distance as they pull the fish over the rail. The risk is more on the crew who are in very close proximity to the fish and the jig. It’s really their responsibility to be aware of their positioning. As a passenger, just keep your distance from the mouth of the fish and you should be totally fine!

@@FishTheLegend Thanks, what can we do to minimize risk for the deckhand?

[@FishTheLegend]

Some boats only allow hooks on one side of the knife jig because the assist hooks can swing when coming over the rail or when the fish is on deck. On the Legend, we just try to communicate about it & remind each other to watch out for the assist hooks. Communication and teamwork is the key.
