GIVING THE FINGER

GIVING THE FINGER follows the life of one spirited young captain, and the man who has emerged as the newest star of the very popular show "Deadliest Catch", Scott Campbell Jr.

As this book – a prequel to Scott’s ascent to fame on Deadliest Catch – shows, trials of crabbing are not limited to living at sea and working the most dangerous job on the planet, but carry over to family and friends, and are usually stormier than the Bering. Scott Campbell Jr. began his life as a fisherman in the shadow of his father, Scott Campbell Sr., and has struggled consistently to gain his own reputation as a captain. Arguably, one of the best fishermen working the waters today, Campbell Jr. has certainly done that, but not without sacrifice, of all sorts. Campbell has divorced and re-married the same woman 3 times, endured handicapping injuries and lost crew members to the icy waters of the north. GIVING THE FINGER gives a first person account of these losses and the everyday fight for life and love, and shows that by hard work and perseverance, even a kid from Walla Walla can become a star.
