Edge of the West
Blake and Zane Hermann are brothers from Oxnard, California. They have been around commercial fishing long enough to know what they’re doing, and they're young enough to make it look easy. AFTCO tagged along for a multi-day trip to see their program and welcome them to the team.

"Where we're at is a pretty tight-knit community. It's a really small world, everyone kinda knows everyone. I think the people in the group want to keep it that way."
