Early life and family
Jakob Venn Martin Anderson was born on September 16, 1980 in Anacortes, Washington, USA and is a fourth generation crab fisherman. His mother’s name has not been released, but his father was Keith A. Anderson and his sister was Chelsea Dawn Anderson. He grew up in Anacortes, surrounded by the age of the tradition of the sea and its products. Jakob was incredibly close to his sister, which would later devastate him when she died young. At the age of 13, Jake picked up a skateboard and took it on with innate skill. By age 19, he was skating professionally for local stores. Her first experience of independence and a source of income held a special place in her heart.
Education
Anderson only went to sea after his future clearly looked bleak. He was hired as a beginner – apprentice, novice – by Sig Hansen in 2007. He began his training in the North West where he discovered a passion for the profession. He went on to earn his USCG Mate 1600 Ton Fishing License and Captain 100 Ton Fishing License in 2012, completing his transition from amateur to master of his trade.

Jake Anderson began his career at sea aged 17 in 1997. His first job was not the most glamorous, salmon fishing in Alaska off Bristol Bay.

When he turned 20, he felt it was time to move on in life and started working as a trawler processor, a messy job processing fish on trawlers that can stay away from shore. for days in a row. In 2006, he changed again to pot fishing, a type practiced with fixed pots, aimed at catching crustaceans such as crabs and lobsters.
Fishing
In 2007, his luck changed when his uncle, Nick Mavar, landed him a job in the North West under Captain Sig Hansen. His dedication and hard work saw him rise through the ranks from an untrained novice to a full fledged deckhand and then to Deck Boss. After receiving his fishing licenses he sought deeper seas, commissioning the Kiska Sea in 2013.
His tenure was fraught with difficulty, as he struggled to earn the respect of his crew members. He eventually despaired of being able to establish a good relationship with the crew and returned to the northwest. Despite his competence and skills, Northwestern didn’t really welcome him with open arms, sending him all the way down the ladder. His luck finally ran out in 2015 when he was asked to replace Captain Elliot Neese on Saga, which he eventually rose to greatness, establishing a healthy relationship with the crew and pulling off some incredible catches.
Author
As a recovered drug addict, Jake Anderson has used his experiences to inspire others, cataloging his journey in an autobiography titled “Relapse”, published by Coventry House Publishing on April 29, 2014.
The book was very well received by readers and critics, with many people identifying with the battles he fought.
“Deadliest Take”
Jake Anderson has appeared on Discovery since 2007, first at the start of the third season in an episode titled “New Beginnings.” The show follows crab fishing boats in the Bering Sea, which in this part of the world can be dangerous, due to the freezing climate and unstable weather conditions. The show captured a very emotional event in Anderson’s life, such as the death of his sister and the trauma of his father’s disappearance. The development of his character shown over the course of the show created a great deal of sympathy for him and a fascination for his family.
Private life
Addiction
Jake Anderson has lived life so much, been through its ups and downs, and sailed the roughest seas. When Anderson was 19, he broke his ankle; while that would be traumatic for most people, it was coupled with him relying on his feet for a living, as it meant Jake wouldn’t be able to continue as a professional skateboarder, and not work meant he couldn’t pay his bills. Distraught, Anderson turned to drugs and alcohol; he initially clung to painkillers and marijuana, but soon escalated to cocaine and methamphetamine use. He was left homeless for two years, every penny he earned went to fund his drug use. It was only other traumas in his life that forced him to take stock of his situation, and finally beat the addiction in 2010.
Personal tragedies
Many of Anderson’s tragedies were documented during his appearance on “Deadliest Catch.” The two that always stick in the minds of viewers are the death of his sister and his father. In 2009, while on the show’s set, Jake Anderson learned that his sister Chelsea Dawn had died of pneumonia. The two had always been close and Anderson was broken. Always wanting to remember his sister and the light she was in his life, he got a tattoo of her face encased in a halo, so he could always carry her with him.
On January 6, 2010, Keith Anderson, Jake’s father, got into his car to visit an unidentified person – he never returned. Again, Jake received this information at sea, with his mother coming all the way to give him the news.
Although the show never followed up on this tragedy, we know that her father’s car was found two weeks later, abandoned and empty. As if that wasn’t hard enough for the family, Keith’s body wasn’t found until 2012 by a hiker who discovered his remains in the woods.
DVS shoes
Jake Anderson says he bought his first pair of DVS shoes in 1998, a pair of Tory Mids, when he was 18. The shoes guided him throughout his skateboarding career, and he still wears them on the boat to this day. He even claims he introduced the shoes to the rest of the Northwestern crew. It turned out to be a smart decision. One of the film crew knew the owner of DVS and noticed Jake’s designer shoes.
