BONNERS FERRY — As the most competitive fishing season on Earth unfolds in Bristol Bay, Alaska, Bonners Ferry native Taran White captains one of the five boats featured on Animal Planet’s “Alaska: Battle of the Bay”.
The high-stakes fishing drama captures 1,800 captains battling nature, the law and each other for the ultimate fishing payday, according to Animal Planet.
For White, a 2001 Bonners Ferry High School graduate, the fishing isn’t a drama but a lifestyle. Every summer since he was born, White has spent six weeks in June and July in Bristol Bay.
