Keith Colburn

Captain Keith Colburn -- Wizard

Keith Colburn is the captain of the Wizard, a World War II-era Navy ship that was converted into a fishing vessel in 1978. He started out as a deckhand on the boat in 1988, and eventually took over the skipper duties in 1994. When the owner was looking to sell the boat, Keith took a gamble and purchased it in 2005, knowing he would have to lease virtually all of his crab quota since he didn't own the boat when IFQs (individual fishing quotas) were issued to boat owners earlier that year. The IFQ situation forces Keith to lease his quota from other boats each year.

Keith's brother Monte Colburn joins him as a deckhand and relief skipper.

Always the adventure seeker, Keith recently ran with the bulls in Pamplona. He lives outside Seattle, Wash., with his wife and two children.
