Heist describes this song as a cowboy song about a commercial seine fishing boat. A “highliner” is a successful big money fisherman and seine boats are typically the largest and most lucrative kind of commercial fishing vessel in Southeast Alaska, but they’re also some of the most competitive. This song tells the story of when things get out of hand for one captain.
