Even if I move on to do other jobs, commercial fishing will be in my blood & heart forever. ❤️⚓️ Bottom photo by: @weaponoutfitters #NationalFisherman #SandPointAK #AlaskaFisherman (at Sand Point, Alaska)

Captain Dad had a safe & successful crab fishing season in Alaska- yay! We’ll be attending the #PacificMarineExpo in Seattle on November 16-18th. (It’s basically Comic Con for commercial fishermen.) 🦀 🐟⚓️ #AlaskaFishing #CommercialFisherman #SalmonFishing #SandPointAK #Alaska (at Sand Point, Alaska)

Happy (belated) ALASKA DAY! 💙🇺🇸 For the past four years, I’ve traveled to Alaska to work as a commercial fisherman in the summer. I’ll never stop being amazed by the beauty and natural resources of The Last Frontier. Proud to be named after the BEST STATE EVER! Here’s one of my favorite photos of me enjoying the view near Sand Point, Alaska. (This was taken a few years ago when I was rockin’ my natural hair color.) #AlaskaDay #SandPointAK (at Sand Point, Alaska)

Re-sharing this image from last year's fishing boat shoot with @weaponoutfitters! I might be a business college graduate, but I'm proud to be a commercial fisherman. This photo is available as an 8x12 signed print in my online store: http://alaskamauve.storenvy.com/ (I'll be shipping out print orders in late August when I return to my home in WA State) I appreciate all of your support so much! 🐟⚓️💙 #WeaponOutfitters #CommercialFisherman #Fisherman #AlaskaFishing #SalmonFishing #Grundens #AR15 #GirlsWithGuns #GirlsWhoShoot #PewPew #PewPewLife #IGMilitia #GunsDaily #InstaGun #Alaska #SandPointAK

*TRIGGER WARNING= animal death* Why do you have guns on the boat?" Occasionally, an unlucky salmon shark will swim into our net, get caught, and start dying. Just a few days ago, I was face to face with a 6ft long dead shark that my crew had to work out of our net. Just another day on the job in Alaska... ⚓️🐟⚓️#AlaskaFishing #SalmonFishing #SalmonShark #SharkTail #Grundens #GirlsWithGuns #GirlsWhoShoot #2A #IGMilitia #GunsDaily #InstaGun #AR15 #WeaponOutfitters #CommercialFisherman #SandpointAK #Alaska (at Sand Point, Alaska)

Other girls' summer fishing photos vs. my summer fishing photos! Lol 😂🐟 It would be awesome to go fishing in warm weather one of these days so I can get my bikini fishing game on. Until then, I'm stuck in a life jacket with rain gear and boots because I kind of don't wanna die of hypothermia. Thanks for following the adventures of a model turned bundled-up fisherwoman! 💙⚓️ #Fisherwoman #Fishing #GirlsWhoFish #SalmonFishing #AlaskaFishing #CommercialFishing #Grundens #Alaska #SandPointAK (at Sand Point, Alaska)

Back in Seattle and heading to Spokane, soon! I took this photo a few years ago in Fox Bay, Alaska. Easily the most gorgeous sky I've ever seen. #NoFilter #Sunrise #AlaskaFishing #Alaska #SandPointAK

My dad's fishing boat & skiff at Korovin Island, Alaska. 💙🐟 FAQ: No, the boat I fish on is not big (most people picture a Deadliest Catch boat). It is a small, 42 foot vessel that is designed for a crew of three. The type of fishing we do is called "set gill netting", and it doesn't require a large crew at all. Another question I often get is "Do you fish in the Bering Sea?". Nope! Salmon swim up against the shore, so our nets are near land. However, we do sleep on the boat because our fishing sites are on a different island than the one my dad's house is on. (My dad lives on Popof Island and we fish at Korovin Island.) ⚓️⚓️⚓️ #SalmonFishing #AlaskaFishing #FishingBoat #Korovin #ShumaginIslands #Korovin #SandPointAK #Fishing #Alaska
