Deadliest Catch Captain's Profile | Rick and Donna Quashnick

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.

    Dear Capt

    Let me inter duce myself. My name is Everett Johnson I grew up in Ballard at 8038 31st NW. I graduated from Ballard in 1962 and went worked in the Ballard Ship yards for about 10 years as a shipwright at Rowe's, Pacific Fish, Marco, and Seattle Ship, later I went into Aviation and have flown the rest of my career as a Airline Pilot and also owned Nyman Pile Driving Corp. from 1979 through 1997. I am now retired and fly every summer in Alaska for a Fishing Lodge in King Salmon.

    The reason I am writing you is I am a member of Seattle yacht Club and the Chairman of Commercial Decorated Boats for OPENING DAY on May 1, 2010.

    I would like to invite you and your Crew to participate in our Opening Day Parade. I know the people of Seattle and the North West Boating families would enjoy seeing you and your family and Crews family participate.

    If you would give me a call at my home I would enjoy filling you in on the days activities. Opening Day of Boating season is a really fun week and We would all enjoy you joining us.

    I assume that the Boat is still in the cannel on May 1, and hasn't headed north as of yet?

    Please call me at your conveniences.

    Best Regards,


    Everett Johnson

    Here are two people I sure miss seeing this season. It's heartbreaking to learn they are having tragedy hit their family. Hopefully, they can get the Maverick back out next season. They add so much to Deadliest Catch. Sajsam
