Debra Gail Ross, a fourth-generation fisherman born and raised in the historic fishing village of Gig Harbor, Washington, is a testament to the enduring spirit of women who have carved their own paths in traditionally male-dominated industries.
Tracing her lineage back to her great-grandfather, John Samuel Ross, who emigrated from the Island of Premuda in 1887, Debra embodies the legacy of a family deeply connected to the sea. Her book, “Just For The Halibut,” promises to be a powerful exploration of her life and work, offering a unique perspective on the challenges and rewards of a life lived on the water.
Debra’s story serves as an inspiration to aspiring women in all fields, demonstrating the importance of pursuing one’s passions and breaking down barriers.
