Rick QuashnickBio: Rick Quashnick is the owner and current captain of the Maverick. A second-generation fisherman, Rick grew up in Astoria, Oregon, where he started captaining his first ship when he was 13 years old. Rick admits to being a "very competitive person," and he describes the fishing lifestyle as such. The Maverick is one of the smallest boats in the fleet, but it catches just as much as the big guns. Rick is extremely devoted to his crew. Instead of selling his quota this year and putting his crew out of work, he chose to continue fishing. Captain Quashnick and his wife Donna have had a tumultuous year: Their son-in-law was killed while serving in Iraq, and their daughter gave birth to their grandson shortly afterward.
