Keith Colburn: Discovery Channel’s Hit Show Deadliest Catch

Captain Keith Colburn of Redmond, Wash., has served at the helm of The Wizard for the

last 14 years. Described as having a “militaristic, hard-a** style of leadership,” Keith considers himself to be an overly-prepared and meticulous captain who is more cerebral in his decision-making than most other skippers.

Keith is a first-generation fisherman who grew up in Lake Tahoe, Calif., and worked in restaurants from the time he was 14 until his early 20s. He decided to try fishing in 1985, at which time he went to Alaska with $50, a backpack and a tent.  This decision turned out to be the right one.

Keith is now considered to be among the elite of crab fisherman as well as one of the stars of the hot Discovery Channel shows, Deadliest Catch. Deadliest Catch is entering its ninth season on air and is showing no signs of slowing down, and neither is Keith. Listen to our interview now on Chattin in Manhattan internet radio.
