Chronicles of a Bering Sea Captain offers a vivid, detailed glimpse of some of most dangerous fisheries in the world. From frightening to funny, these stories convey the realities of the life of a fisherman struggling to make a living in the Bering Sea. This cold corner of the planet has claimed the lives of countless men and women, brave souls who risked everything to chase a dream, pursue adventure, and earn an honest buck. Most aim to make as much money as they can in as short a time as possible-then get out. But for author Jake Jacobsen, the fisherman's life was in his blood. He sailed on his father's old wooden trawler at seven-and found his first full-time fishing job as a fourteen-year-old deckhand on his father's boat. Chronicles of a Bering Sea Captain recounts half a century of life on the high seas. These are one man's stories of crab fishing, trawling, and long-lining in rough, unpredictable waters. But more importantly, these tales offer a glimpse into the lives of the untold thousands whose harrowing tales and countless acts of courage and strength will never be heard.
Alaska Hunting: Earthworms to Elephants, a collection of 39 stories, is intended to be seasoning for a Hunters' pie, rural Alaska style.Most hunters extol the charismatic mega fauna, but pursuit of lesser game often takes center stage. Occasionally hunting discoveries lead to other endeavors, from jade mining to gold prospecting and fossil recovery. Possibilities are limitless. As we engage in hunting and fishing pursuits memories are laced with the big ones-the exceptional, genetically endowed giants-but some of the brightest memories are of average representatives of their species. What made them so memorable was the combination of circumstances under which they were taken-or lost. Companions, whether human or animal, often make the hunt memorable and its recollections of trophy quality.

It will take you to a place of adventure, danger, and humor, all woven together by one larger than life character. I had to get all that down fast, because it's important. I'm not a writer, and I don't know how long I can hold your attention.Dr. Larry GatesThe stories in this collection are true. In some instances, the names have been changed to protect the innocent and the not so guiltless.With most days of the past forty-seven years spent in Alaska, the thirty-six stories in this collection are connected primarily with Jake's guiding activities in the Great Land. These stories were selected for their humorous content.This selection of tales is trivial, eclectic, and of minimal redeeming value. But there may be some valuable bits of information, if one looks for them. These stories attempt to entertain readers, to give them a giggle, or at least a wry smirk.
ALASKA FLYING: Surviving Incidents and Accidents encompass many short stories about Jake's experiences gained from 1967 to the present as a pilot in Alaska. Though he logged time as pilot in command in other parts of the world, including Southern Rhodesia, Namibia, Australia, Bolivia, Hawaii, Arizona and other locations, the stories in this collection relate exclusively to Alaskan flying.
