What kind of person would go out in a tiny boat in dangerous weather to catch fish for 24 hours straight? Everyone. Well, everyone in Homer, Alaska.<\/p>\n

Halibut fishermen in Alaska used to defy storms, exhaustion and good judgment. That’s because they could only fish in these handful of 24-hour periods. It was called the derby, and the derby made fishing the deadliest job in America. But then the government totally changed the system.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Today on the show, the economic fix that made fishing safer. And why a lot of people hate it.<\/p>\n
