About the Author
Victor Cole became hooked on lobstering at the age of seven, when he fished with his dad out of skiffs and pulled wooden traps by hand. His career, however, took a turn as he went into public service. He started as a firefighter, then became an EMT and a police officer; followed by eighteen years the Maine Marine Patrol. Deciding eleven years ago that life was too short not to follow his dream, he took up lobstering full time. Victor lives in Tenants Harbor and fishes 800 lobster traps.
