Patrick J. Crenna was born to Carolyn and Chuck Crenna in Coopeville Washington. At three months of age he started his lifelong journey into the world of commercial fishing, his parents purchased the Radio in Ilwaco, Washington and hand steered and navigated by charts north to Alaska with Patrick and his older sister Shasta, age six, aboard.
The Crenna family landed in Pelican Alaska, a small coastal fishing island community only accessible by boat or seaplane. Throughout his childhood Patrick grew with a love of fishing and adventure as his family traveled to Pelican, Alaska in the summers to Salmon fish.
At 24, he bought his first fishing boat and continued in the Alaska Salmon Troll industry. He bought the F/V Norwester to help support his young family. In 2009, he met and later married the love of his life Coral (Mayo) Crenna. Coral also grew up in a fishing family and spent her many summers of her childhood of the waters of Kodiak tendering salmon on her families fishing boat, F/V Coral lee. Together they continued in the fishing industry.
As their family (Dylan, 14, Morgan, 10, Dominique, 6) and fishing business continued to grow Patrick and Coral realized the need for a larger and more versatile vessel and purchased the F/V Ilona B., They continue to pass on the love, adventure and work ethic necessary to make a living off the waters of Alaska to their children (3rd generation of fishermen) by taking them freezer trolling in the summers.
Jeb Morrow is a second generation fisherman born and raised Alaskan.
As one of company founder Michael Mayo's older sons, he has fished
numerous years inside the family's fishing business. Starting on deck
when he was 14, he has fished every year of his life since, and
continues to do so while expanding his industry reach into sales and
other ventures. In 2019 he used sablefish slinky pots almost
exclusively for over 200,000 round pounds of the black cod he
delivered that season, and is happy to talk about his experiences with
them! He has also used the company's hooks and is excited help bring
both to the fleet, just shoot him a text or email at
