Type of crab:

Years at sea:

About the Boat: The Aleutian Ballad, a House Aft boat with a capacity of 120 pots, made its last hurrah this king crab season. The Aleutian Ballad was transformed into a chartering vessel, so the owners were excited about the publicity the boat would receive from Deadliest Catch before she was retired as a fishing boat.

Adjectives that describe this crew:

Corkey
Name:Jerry “Corky” Tilley
Position: Captain
Years experience:
Mini bio: Captain Tilley describes himself as a friendly extrovert. The West Port, Washington native learned the business from watching his fisherman stepfather, and began fishing tuna professionally at age 12 during the summers. He first got on a crab boat when he was 16. He made his first fishing trip to the Bering Sea right after high school and has been fishing ever since. He is an extremely cautious fisherman and prides himself on always bringing his crew home safely.


Nicole
Name: Nicole Tilley
Position: Deckhand
Years experience:
Mini bio: Nicole is the daughter of Captain Jerry Tilley. After training at beauty school, she determined that she wanted to try her hand at the family business and began fishing, much to the chagrin of her anxious mother. She and her brother Matthew have worked alongside one another on boats in the past and have a good working relationship. Nicole says she spends 99% of her time proving that she can do everything the boys can do, although she admits that she doesn’t have the strength to stack pots as high as the guys.
