Apgdiver: Who on the Wizard first said "Smoke My Hog"?
Nick: That would be Art Peterson. (laughing) Art, you're a funny man!
Michelle: Do you have time to listen to music or watch movies on the ship? If so, what are you guys' favorites?
Nick: We don't really have time to watch movies unless we're traveling to and from fishing, but we do listen to music on deck and when we're inside. I like to listen to anything that's loud and fast, to keep the adrenaline pumping.
Flygirl: How old are you?
Nick: I'm 22.
JMAN: Do you have any traditions on board the Wizard?
Nick: No, I don't think we really do.
Buffettfan: What's the longest you have been out to sea?
Nick: I'm not sure — we had a trip during opies that was 29 days, but during those 29 days we delivered to a floating processor. We didn't set foot on land for 29 days, but we did stop fishing for a couple of days.
NKL-PLTE: How big of a shock was the weather for you the first time you went up north?
Nick: Oh boy. I'm from Southern California, so I don't usually see ice or snow. Just the waves in general were pretty overwhelming at first. But I enjoy the weather. Not necessarily when it's completely rough, but it kind of makes me get into it a little more.
Momma1998: What is your choice of weapon when you have to chip ice on deck?
Nick: (laughing) It would probably be a sledgehammer. Knock that stuff right off the deck. But ice breaking is no fun at all. When it comes time to breaking ice, everyone's down there working hard to get it done.
Laff75: Do people ever recognize you on the street?
Nick: No, not other than people that I know or kind of know. I've never had anyone say, "Oh, you're that guy from TV" which I don't really mind. Like, "Hey, didn't I see you getting yelled at last week?"
Cdock: When watching the show, do you learn other "tricks of the trade"?
Nick: I'm pretty hardened to the Wizard way of doing things. I notice how other boats fish, and the things that they do different. But I don't really try to do some of the things I see other guys doing on TV.
