Bass-Tub Crew

Captain Erik [Tubby] Anfinson:

I started deck handing with my father Cliff Anfinson at age 19, received my 100 ton lic started running the bass tub when my father became ill after his passing bought the vessel from my mother lynn and have been running the vessel for 15 years greatly improving it. I always had a wish to own a 54 ft westport and after 15 years of hard work I have finally done it!! I purchased the Ghost rider from longview washington and got my wish it was very hard to see the old boat leave the area but I just want to remember all the great memories that were had on her. She went to Depoe bay Oregon to a great family who will be taking great care of her( if you're in Depoe Bay look her up). Back to the new boat,she was used as a private yacht cruising to Alaska every year. Well I have no plans on going to Alaska but have plans for many offshore trips for tuna/rockcod. I also took a job at Alcatraz cruises 3 years ago and run ferry boats for the company. I have a lot going on at all times but still love being on the water with a fishing pole at my side

Captain Aaron [Moose] Anfinson:

born and raised in marin received his 100 ton master lic in 1998 worked on many vessels in the sf bay area and worked on the Searcher in san diego chasing large tuna/albacore after many thousands of miles under his belt he decided to move back up to sf.He took a big leap forward in the purchase of his own private six pack charter vessel Codzilla. Capt moose loves the water so much he got married on a boat to his beautiful wife Jenny aboard the Hornblower Hybrid the worlds first hybrid ferry vessel and took a job working at alcatraz cruises driving the mighty solitary.He fishes the codzilla when he has a day off of those boats he takes the wheel or the net aboard the Bass tub.He will be the main skipper while the Bass Tub runs albacore trips starting in late Aug since he has tuna in his blood

One of the newest and youngest captains to the bass tub. Dont let this fool you! Lil E started coming out on the bass tub at age 14 started watching the other deck hands and took hold of the gaff at the early age of 15. He is one wicked deck hand and loves to be on the water great with the customers and takes care of the boat as if it was his own .Lil e sat for his masters lic and received his 50 ton masters lic this year.
