>>> OH, MAN.
THIS IS BRUTAL.
ONLY PUSH A GUY, A CREW SO HARD.

SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT.
[BLEEP].
>> IT IS INCREDIBLE TO ME THAT

THESE GUYS NEEDED THAT
MOTIVATION.
NOBODY WANTS TO SUCK DOWN COG

GUTS WHEN THEY ARE ON THE RAIL.
>> ALL HANDS.
>> 240,000 POUNDS.

STAYING FOCUSED, DOING THE BEST
THEY CAN.
>> FIND SOME CRAB, GOD KNOWS WE

NEED TO.
¶ WANTED, DEAD OR ALIVE ¶
>> Narrator: DUTCH HARBOR,

ALASKA.
ON THE 125 FOOT NORTHWESTERN.
>> RIGHT NOW THE GUYS ARE IN THE

ENGINE ROOM, IT DOESN'T LOOK
GOOD AT ALL.
EVERYTHING IS COMPLETE TOAST,

IT'S FRIED.
>> Narrator: MORE THAN HALFWAY
THROUGH THE WINTER SEASON,

CAPTAIN SIG HANSEN AND CREW ARE
STILL LICKING THEIR WOUNDS.
>> I DON'T THINK THERE'S ONE

SPECIFIC REASON WHY THAT PANEL
CAUGHT FIRE.
IF THERE IS, WE HAVEN'T FOUND



IT.
>> Narrator: JUST DAYS AGO IN
THE MIDST OF THEIR BEST FISHING

OF THE SEASON.
>> FIRE, FIRE!
>> Narrator: SIG FACED HIS WORST

NIGHTMARE.
>> WE HAVE CABLES FLOWN IN,
BREAKERS, FUSES.

THEY'RE FINALLY STARTING TO PUT
SOMETHING INTO THE PANEL.
WE'VE GOT SOME MOMENTUM HERE.

>> WE GOT ALL THE PARTS, WAITING
A COUPLE OF DAYS.
GOING TO REVIEW EVERYTHING

DOWNSTAIRS.
>> EVERYBODY NEEDS TO BUCKLE
DOWN.

DO WHAT WE CAN TO GET THIS DONE.
>> LOST FISHING TIME, LOSING MY
SPENDING MONEY.

>> WE JUST SAT HERE WHEN THIS
HAPPENED.
>> Narrator: SIG CAN'T GET OUT

OF PORT SOON, HIS SEASON COULD
BE DAMAGED BEYOND REPAIR.
>> LONGER TO GET THE BOAT FIXED,

MORE TIME THE CRAB HAVE TIME TO
CRAWL OUT.
>> Narrator: 250 MILES TO THE

NORTH.
ON THE FISHING GROUNDS.
>> THINGS CHANGE QUICKLY.

NOT ANOTHER BOAT AS FAR AS THE
EYE CAN SEE.
>> Narrator: REARRANGING SETS.

>> WE DIDN'T CATCH, IT IS
PRESSURE TO FIND SOME CRAB.
>> Narrator: SOME CREWS FIND A

SECOND WIND.
>> YEAH!
>> DOESN'T MATTER UNTIL YOU



FINISH IT.
KEEP WORKING HARD, KEEP THE
SEASON ALIVE.

>> Narrator: OTHERS CONTINUE TO
GRIND.
>> BEEN A TOUGH TRIP SO FAR,

SCRATCHY, MOVING ALL OVER THE
PLACE.
>> Narrator: AND PUSH THROUGH

THIS MARATHON SEASON.
>> IT'S GOING TO BE A LONG DAY.
>> TOUGH KEEPING IT ALL TOGETHER

IF I DON'T DO MY JOB.
>> WELCOME TO OUR LITTLE WELL
OUT HERE.

>> Narrator: 170 MILES NORTHEAST
OF DUTCH HARBOR.
>> WHAT HAVE WE GOT?

WHAT HAVE WE GOT?
>> Narrator: ON THE 155 FOOT
WIZARD.

>> OH.
>> IS THERE A COUNT?
>> 1-9ER.

>> 19.
THAT'S PRETTY MUCH GOING TO THE
POOR FARM.

THERE'S A BUNCH OF PRESSURE TO
FIND SOME CRAB.
WASN'T MUCH HERE.

SHORT SOAK, NOW A LONG SOAK,
NOTHING HAS REALLY CHANGED.
>> Narrator: JUST DAYS AGO

CAPTAIN KEITH COLBURN FINISHED
HIS LAST TRIP OF THE SEASON.
>> EVERYTHING HAS GONE TO HELL.

>> Narrator: PULLING BAD
NUMBERS.
>> I TOLD MONTE BEFORE THE

SEASON I WOULD LEAVE AFTER I PUT
IN TWO GOOD TRIPS.
WELL, I HAVEN'T PUT IN TWO GOOD

TRIPS.
ALL ON MY BROTHER'S SHOULDERS
RIGHT NOW.

>> Narrator: NOW RELIEF SKIPPER
MONTE COLBURN IS STILL STUCK ON
THE SAME 20 AVERAGE.

>> A LITTLE DISHEARTENING.
>> THIS POT SUCKS.
NOTHING IN IT.

[BLEEP].
>> ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU DON'T
CATCH CRAB.

>> Narrator: NOTHING BUT EMPTY
POTS ARE COMING OVER THE RAIL.
>> WE HAVE TO GET THE GEAR ON

THE BOAT AND GET THE HELL OUT OF
HERE.
>> Narrator: THE SKIPPER WILL

STACK AND MOVE.
>> RIGHT IN THIS GENERAL
LOCATION, TRY A DEEPER AREA

WHERE THERE WAS CRAB LAST YEAR.
COUNTING ON EVERYBODY TO REALLY
STAY FOCUSED, I'M DOING THE BEST

I CAN.
>> RIGHT NOW, WE ARE SWITCHING
NEIGHBORHOODS, WE ARE DONE

PLAYING ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE
TRACK.
NOW IT IS TIME TO HEAD BACK TO A

RICH NEIGHBORHOOD.
>> Narrator: TO SPEED UP THE
SETTING PROCESS, THE WIZARD

BAITS THEIR POTS BEFORE THEY
STACK.
>> THERE'S NO [BLEEP] BAIT UP

THERE.
>> Narrator: IT SAVES TIME.
IF THE BAIT STATION CAN KEEP UP.

>> WHERE'S THE BAIT?
>> I GOT TO GO.
>> ANYTHING GROUND UP?

COME BACK HERE AND HELP.
LET'S GET THIS [BLEEP] DONE.
>> WE'VE GOT 12 POTS.

>> Narrator: SO FAR, THE BAIT
BOYS HAVE BEEN SLOWING DOWN THE
BOAT'S PRODUCTION.

>> THE WOES IN THE BAIT STATION
HAVE KIND OF CONTINUED.
>> I GOT TO GO.

>> COME ON, GUYS.
>> A LOT OF [BLEEP] LIKE THAT.
>> HORN VERSUS HORN, LIKE

WATCHING TWO GIRLS FIGHT.
>> ALL STARTS WITH THE BAIT.
CAN'T CATCH CRAB WITHOUT IT,

CAN'T CATCH BAIT WITHOUT IT.
AND YOU HAVE TO STAY ON IT.
>> EVERYONE WILL HAVE TO REALLY

BE ATOP THE GAME TO TURN THIS
AROUND.
WE ARE IN A BIT OF A PICKLE

HERE.
GOT TO FIND SOME CRAB.
GOD KNOWS WE NEED TO.

>> Narrator: 70 MILES SOUTHEAST
ON THE 113 FOOT TIME BANDIT.
>> OKAY, GUYS.

>> Narrator: CAPTAIN JOHNATHAN
HILLSTRAND SENDS THE CREW OUT
FOR BATTLE.

>> WAY BEHIND THE GUN.
NEVER BEEN IN FAR BEHIND THE GUN
EVER, WE HAD TO SIT DOWN

YESTERDAY.
WAITING FOR HIM TO SEE HIS BABY,
WAITING FOR THE NEW GUY TO COME

OUT.
>> Narrator: WHILE IN DUTCH, THE
SKIPPER DROPPED OFF ONE DECKHAND

AND PICKED UP ANOTHER.
>> SO WE GOT A NEW GUY, NAME IS
WYATT.

I HAVEN'T TALKED TO HIM MUCH.
ALL I CARE ABOUT IS BRINGING HIM
HOME SAFE AND CATCHING THE REST

OF THESE DAMN CRAB.
>> I FELT LIKE THEIR MOTHER.
I'M A MEAN MOTHER.

>> Narrator: FRESH OUT OF HIGH
SCHOOL, WYATT GRADUATED TO THE
UNIVERSITY OF THE BERING SEA.

>> OKAY, HAVE FUN.
TALK TO THE GUYS.
YOU'RE BOTHERING ME.

HA HA HA HA HA.
THIS IS GREAT.
GREATEST THING COULD EVER HAPPEN

TO THAT KID.
HE'S GOING TO GO HOME AND BE A
MAN, HE MAKES IT THROUGH THIS.

I JUST HOPE I DON'T GET NOBODY
HURT.
>> I AM DOWN SOUTHEAST, AWAY

FROM THE FLEET.
>> Narrator: THE SKIPPER MOVED
45 MILES SOUTHEAST OF THE

NEAREST BOAT SEARCHING FOR
UNTAPPED GROUNDS.
>> ALL THOSE CUT THROAT STAFF.

.
>> Narrator: ON THE TIME BANDIT.
[BLEEP].

>> Narrator: WHILE BAITING A
POT, A 100 POUND METAL DOOR
CRASHED ON THE HEAD OF DECKHAND

PHILIP HILLSTRAND.
>> WHAT DID YOU DO?
[BLEEP].

>> I'M FINE, DUDE.
>> GO TO THE WHEEL HOUSE.
>> ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.

>> POOR PHILIP, HE DOESN'T GET A
BREAK OUT HERE.
>> HE JUST GOT HURT LAST YEAR.

>> MISSED OPI SEASON BECAUSE HE
GOT HIS HAND CRUSHED.
>> DOOR CAME DOWN ON MY HEAD.

I'M OKAY.
I DON'T FEEL DIZZY OR ANYTHING.
>> DOOR HIT YOU.

>> DOOR CAME DOWN.
>> WEIGHS LIKE 100 POUNDS.
>> YEAH.

>> COULD USE ONE STITCH.
>> NO, GOING BACK TO WORK.
>> HEY.

PHILIP, WEAR A HAT.
DON'T LET IT GET INFECTED.
CLEAN HAT.

>> NO BLOOD, NO GUTS, NO TEARS.
WORST THING THAT CAN HAPPEN IS
GET A STAPH INFECTION OUT HERE.

>> BRING IT ON, SUCKERS!
>> I GOT TO FIND SOME CRAB.
>> Narrator: 145 MILES

NORTHWEST.
ON THE 110 FOOT BRENNA A.
[BLEEP].

>> THAT'S NICE.
JUST GOT LUCKY, LANDED ON SOME
CRAB.

IN THIS SPOT IT COULD PRODUCE
FOR THE REST OF MY SEASON.
>> Narrator: CAPTAIN SHAWN DWYER

HAS BEEN TAKING A LARGE CHUNK
OUT OF THE 340,000 POUND BAIRDI
QUOTA.

>> THIS YEAR HAS BEEN A GREAT
LEARNING EXPERIENCE.
WE HAD A FEW ISSUES DUE TO GUYS

BEING LAZY BUT NOW THAT BRIT IS
NOT HERE, I THINK THE GUYS ARE
DOING PRETTY DANG GOOD.

>> I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE
CAN MAKEUP FOR THE START.
>> Narrator: AFTER ALL THE

PROBLEMS WITH THE DECKHAND,
SHAWN HAS A FOUR MAN CREW TO
KEEP HIS OPERATION RUNNING.

>> WE NEED TO BE FISHING.
I HAVE GEAR TO HAUL.
IT IS CLOSE TOGETHER.

I CAN RALLY THROUGH IT, KEEP THE
TABLE FULL.
KEEP IT ROLLING.

MY NEXT POT SHOULD BE RIGHT OUT
THAT WINDOW THERE.
>> THAT'S SO WEAK.

>> [BLEEP].
>> THROW FASTER AND EARLIER.
>> Narrator: THE MAIN PROBLEM

WITH A FOUR MAN DECK, FOUR WORN
OUT MEN.
>> HE HAS TWO SECONDS TO GET IT

IN THE BLOCK.
>> YEAH, COME ON.
COME ON, THROW IT.

YOU CAN DO IT BETTER.
>> Narrator: HAVING TROUBLE AT
THE RAIL, VETERAN DECKHAND TONY

BUNDY.
>> WE STILL HAVE TO GRIND GEAR.
YOU GUYS HAVE TO GO FASTER THAN

THIS.
COMING UP.
>> UH-OH.

>> LAST THING I WANT TO DO IS
GET WHERE I WANT TO BE AND THEN
WAIT ON MY CREW.

LOSING DOLLARS EVERY SECOND WE
SIT HERE.
ONE THING MY DAD ALWAYS TOLD ME,

EVERYBODY DOES THEIR OWN THING.
YOU RUN A BOAT, RUN THE
BUSINESS.

MAYBE A LITTLE REINFORCEMENT,
IMPROVE THEIR SPEED.
TWO RULES FOR THE RAIL.

REAL GUYS AND PAY ATTENTION TO
BUOYS.
EVERY TIME YOU MISS, YOU HAVE TO

TAKE A BITE OUT OF A 30 INCH.
IF YOU CAN'T GET IT IN TWICE,
YOU HAVE TO TAKE A BITE.

>> THAT'S SO WEAK.
>> HOLD ON.
>> THEY HAVE TO EAT.

>> OH!
>> OKAY, THAT'S THE NEW RULE.
>> Narrator: NOT SATISFIED WITH

SARDINES, A GREENHORN UPS THE
ANTE.
>> SLURP IT UP.

>> Narrator: NOT TO PLAY
FAVORITES.
>> GET BEAR ON THE RAIL.

HIS RULES, HIS WAY.
HE NEEDS A FAIR SHOT AT THE
HOOK.

>> Narrator: THE CAPTAIN HAS THE
GREENHORN PUT HIS MONEY WHERE
HIS MOUTH IS.

>> IT IS HIS IDEA, IT WOULD BE
AWESOME TO SEE HIM SUCK DOWN
INTESTINES LIKE SPAGHETTI

NOODLES.
COMING UP.
>> CAN YOU SMELL THAT?

HEY!
>> NOT BAD.
NOT BAD AT ALL.

THESE GUYS KNOW WHAT HAPPENS
WHEN THEY MISS.
HOPEFULLY WITH A LITTLE

PRESSURE, GET THE RESULTS YOU
WANT.
SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

>> Narrator: 75 MILES NORTHEAST.
>> LOOKS LIKE WE ARE SPREAD OUT
A MILE.

>> Narrator: ON THE WIZARD.
>> NOW WE ARE HEADING UP THE
HILL HERE.

>> Narrator: AFTER TWO DAYS OF
FRUSTRATION, CAPTAIN MONKEY
COLBURN MOVED NORTH IN SEARCH OF

THE BAIRDI CRAB.
>> THIS IS A TEDIOUS TASK.
PROSPECT STRING, SNIFFING

AROUND, GOOD WORK FOR IT.
WE'RE DESPERATELY IN NEED OF
FINDING SOME CRAB.

>> GOING TO SET SOME GEAR, FIND
SOME BAIRDI.
>> MIKE.

LET ME SEE YOUR BOOTS.
[BLEEP].
>> I DON'T GIVE A [BLEEP] ABOUT

THAT.
>> HIS BOOTS ARE WET.
>> HAS TO PUT A DRY PAIR ON.

>> ALL RIGHTY.
SEE IF WE CAN CATCH SOME CRAB.
[BLEEP].

>> Narrator: WITH THE CAPTAIN
READY TO SET.
>> GO, GO, GO.

>> Narrator: J.J. WILL HAVE TO
ENDURE WET BOOTS.
>> THERE'S ALWAYS SOMETHING

GOING ON BETWEEN J.J. AND MIKE,
ALL KIND OF ADDING UP HERE.
JUST GOT TO THAT POINT, A LOT OF

BICKERING, ALL OF THE LITTLE
BITTY PIECES START TO TURN INTO
THIS PILE THAT NOBODY WANTS

ANYTHING TO DO WITH.
IT IS COUNTER PRODUCTIVE.
>> HEY MIKE, HOW DOES IT FEEL TO

WALK A STRING IN ANOTHER MAN'S
BOOTS?
>> I DIDN'T CARE TO LOOK.

PUT SOME BOOTS ON, THAT'S HOW IT
HAPPENED.
THE WAY THINGS WORK IN THE

MIDDLE OF NOWHERE ALASKA, AN EYE
FOR AN EYE.
SO I'M GOING TO PUT SOME FRESH

WATER INTO HIS BOOTS AND FREEZE
THEM SO HE WAKES UP TO FROZEN
BOOTS.

>> Narrator: STILL FUMING.
>> THAT'S HOW I OPERATE.
>> Narrator: J.J. FINDS A WAY TO

COOL DOWN.
>> FROZEN SOLID.
>> ALL RIGHT.

SETTING THE STRING.

>> Narrator: 135 MILES NORTHEAST
OF DUTCH HARBOR.
>> THEY'RE READY.

NOT TOO FAR APART.
LET'S GO!
>> Narrator: ON THE TIME BANDIT.

>> I'M NERVOUS AS HECK.
I'M VERY NERVOUS.
>> Narrator: CAPTAIN JOHNATHAN

HILLSTRAND SET HIS POTS 40 MILES
FROM THE NEAREST BOAT.
>> ALL OF A SUDDEN THERE'S A

SPOT.
>> Narrator: WITH QUOTA LEFT TO
CATCH, THE VETERAN SKIPPER NEEDS

HIS GAMBLE TO PAY OFF.
>> ALL RIGHT.
WE NEED TO PULL SOME GEAR.

EVERYONE BE CAREFUL.
>> ALL COMES DOWN TO THIS.
WE'RE ON OUR OWN.

COME ON, BABY.
WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS HERE.
>> THAT'S MORE LIKE IT!

THAT'S MORE LIKE IT!
FULL OF CRAB!
COME TO MOMMA!

>> YEAH!
>> YEAH, BABY.
>> YEAH, BABY!

WOO!
>> THANK YOU, GOD.
[BLEEP].

>> GET BACK IN THE WATER.
THINGS CHANGE SO FAST.
IF YOU HAD ASKED ME FIVE HOURS

AGO, [BLEEP] I AM HAPPY TO BE
HERE.
WYATT.

SEE WYATT FOR THE HOOK.
TRYING TO SEE WHAT KIND OF GUY
WE GOT HERE.

>> Narrator: FLUSH WITH CRAB.
THE SKIPPER GIVES THE NEW HORN,
WYATT HARSHFIELD A CHANCE FOR A

FLAIL AT THE RAIL.
>> GOT LIKE A LITTLE INITIATION,
WE'VE ALL GONE THROUGH IT.

FIRST TIME THROWING THE HOOK.
>> WE'LL SEE IF YOU STILL HAVE A
JOB, SEE IF HE'S FIRED OR NOT.

>> GET YOUR MONEY!
GET OUR MONEY!
>> BETTER THROW IT.

BETTER THROW IT!
>> NICE!
>> OH, KEEPS HIS JOB!

>> WOO!
>> YEAH!
WOO HOO!

THE GRAPPLER.
HE'S GOT THE HEIGHT.
>> WE DID A GOOD JOB TODAY, MAN.

HAT'S OFF TO THE CREW.
EVERYBODY DID A GOOD JOB TODAY.
THIS IS DECENT FISHING.

A GUY CAN GO HOME, A GUY CAN DO
SOME DAMAGE HERE.
WE'RE CRAB FISHING NOW.

>> Narrator: 145 MILES
NORTHWEST.
ON THE BRENNA A.

>> NUMBERS THAT I CAN ACTUALLY
FILL THE BOAT WITH.
NOW THE GRIND IS CHANGING,

THEY'RE UPPING THE PRODUCTION
RATE.
>> Narrator: CAPTAIN SHAWN

DWYER'S CREW IS RUNNING IN HIGH
GEAR.
>> IT IS INCREDIBLE TO ME THAT

THESE GUYS NEEDED THAT
MOTIVATION.
NOBODY WANTS TO SUCK DOWN COG

GUTS ON THE RAIL.
>> Narrator: HE DISCOVERED A
UNIQUE FORM OF MOTIVATION.

>> MIGHT NOT SEE IT ANYWHERE
ELSE, BUT IT'S WORKING SO FAR.
MY GREENHORN HASN'T BEEN ON

THERE ONCE.
>> Narrator: THE GREENHORN HOLDS
OFF FISH GUTS BY BEING PERFECT

WITH THE HOOK.
>> IT'S GOOD.
HE GETS TO SHOWCASE HIS SKILLS.

HE IS PRETTY TALENTED.
>> WILL BE FUNNY TO WATCH HIM
SLURP UP COD INTESTINE.

>> WE WILL SEE HOW IT GOES.
>> I KNOW YOU WANT IT.
>> [BLEEP].

>> COME ON.
>> UH-OH.
>> PUT IT ON THE BLOCK.

>> IT WAS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL
THROW.
BUT YOU MISSED.

>> Narrator: UNABLE TO LOAD THE
POTS AND THE BLOCK.
>> HOLD ON, I'M COMING OUT.

>> Narrator: BEAR WILL GET A
TASTE OF BERING SEA SUSHI.
>> I WAS SO CLOSE.

>> NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.
I REMEMBER THE TERMS.
YOU HAVE TO LAY IT OUT SPAGHETTI

STYLE AND SLURP THAT DOWN.
NO HANDS.
ALMOST!

NO HANDS.
NO HANDS!
SUCK THAT DOWN!

GET IT!
[BLEEP].
>> GET THAT COD SPAGHETTI.

ALMOST!
HE'S NOT DONE YET!
ARE YOU GOING TO EAT THAT SLIMY

[BLEEP] IN THERE.
>> OH!
OH GOD!

>> GAME ON.
GAME ON!
>> I WILL NEVER MISS AGAIN,

THAT'S FOR SURE!
>> TRYING TO SET THE TONE FOR
THE BRENNA A.

THIS IS THE WAY I DO IT.
WHEN I GO TO SLEEP AT NIGHT,
WHAT I'M THINKING ABOUT, WHAT I

CAN DO TO MAKE IT BETTER, MAKE
MYSELF BETTER, THE CREW BETTER,
THE BOAT, ALL THAT.

BECAUSE THE STAKES ARE SO MUCH
HIGHER.
IT IS PEER PRESSURE.

HE DID IT.
HE DID THE TWO FOOT OF
INTESTINES AND IT WAS

DISGUSTING.
IT WAS SO NASTY.
YEAH.

PEER PRESSURE WORKS.

>> Narrator: 230 MILES NORTH OF
DUTCH HARBOR.
ON THE WIZARD.

>> ALL RIGHTY, GO AHEAD AND
FINISH WHAT YOU'RE DOING
DOWNSTAIRS, YOU'VE GOT TWO POTS.

>> Narrator: CAPTAIN MONTE
COLBURN CLOSES IN ON HIS 30 POT
STRING.

>> TRYING TO GET GOING HERE.
EVERYONE HAS THE BLUES I THINK.
UP AGAINST A LOT.

WE HAD TO MOVE THE GEAR, TWO
KNUCKLEHEADS IN THE BAIT STATION
THAT CAN'T EVEN GET ALONG.

QUITE FRANKLY, MORALE IS GETTING
A LITTLE THIN AROUND HERE,
MYSELF INCLUDED.

LET'S SEE WHAT WE CAN DO.
NEED TO MAKE SOMETHING HAPPEN
HERE.

>> Narrator: AFTER DAYS WORKING
ON A 20 AVERAGE, THE SKIPPER IS
BANKING ON NEW TERRITORY TO TURN

THEIR SEASON AROUND.
>> A LOT CAN CHANGE.
FOR BETTER OR FOR WORSE.

>> Narrator: BUT IN THE GALLEY,
THE FEUD BETWEEN BAIT BOYS J.J.
AND MIKE IS HEATING UP.

>> I WAS JUST PLAYING GAMES.
>> [BLEEP].
FREEZER?

IS THAT YOUR IDEA?
>> YEAH.
[BLEEP].

YOU FROZE MY BOOTS?
>> WHOA WHOA WHOA.
>> WHY DID YOU DO THAT?

I WOULDN'T DO THAT TO YOU, DUDE.
YOU FROZE MY [BLEEP] BOOTS.
[BLEEP].

[BLEEP].
IT'S OKAY.
>> IT IS NOT OKAY.

>> COMING UP.
>> YOU GUYS OUT THERE?
[BLEEP].

>> WASN'T SURE WHAT'S GOING ON.
>> WHAT'S GOING ON.
>> ALL I KNOW, MIKE HAD BOOTS

FULL OF WATER AND POURED IT ON
THE GALLEY FLOOR.
I DON'T KNOW WHY, HE WAS PRETTY

UPSET.
>> YOU GUYS ARE [BLEEP] STUPID,
BOTH OF YOU.

THIS WAS GOING ON WHEN MY
BROTHER WAS HERE, I'M NOT
PUTTING UP WITH IT.

I'M NOT.
I GOT OTHER [BLEEP] TO WORRY
ABOUT.

I'M NOT PUTTING UP WITH IT.
GETTING IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS
CRAP, IT IS THE LAST THING I

NEED.
THEY NEED TO FIGURE THIS OUT AND
NOT BUTT HEADS ALL DAY LONG.

I AM NOT CONCERNED WITH IT TOO
MUCH AT THIS POINT, I HAVE TO
CONCENTRATE ON CRAB.

>> Narrator: STILL 100,000
POUNDS SHORT OF HIS QUOTA, THE
CAPTAIN IS LOOKING FOR THESE

POTS TO CHANGE HIS LIFE.
>> BIG NUMBER COMING OVER THE
RAIL.

CAN'T COME UP SHORT.
WE HAVE TO GO FIND THEM AGAIN.
>> WOO!

>> NUMBERS COMING UP A LITTLE
BIT.
>> LOT OF KEEPERS.

>> THAT POT HAD 96 CRAB.
I DID NOT EXPECT 96, WAS
THINKING 50 OR 60.

DON'T WANT TO GET AHEAD OF
OURSELVES.
NEED TO CONTINUE TO SEE A BIG

NUMBER COME UP EVERY SINGLE POT.
>> WOW.
>> 219.

WOO!
>> YEAH, BABY.
>> BAIRDI POT COMING UP, TOTALLY

LOADED.
>> Narrator: AS CRAB IMPROVES,
SO DO THE ATTITUDES.

>> YEAH, BABY.
>> WE SHOULD JUST THANK OUR
LUCKY STARS WE LANDED ON THIS

PATCH.
SURE SEEMS LIKE THERE'S A LOT OF
CRAB THROWN IN THE POTS AT AN

ALARMING RATE NOW.
IF THAT'S THE CASE, LET'S TRY TO
HARVEST THEM, GO FASTER.

>> Narrator: 230 MILES SOUTHWEST
IN DUTCH HARBOR ON THE 125 FOOT
NORTHWESTERN.

>> THEY DID A GOOD JOB HERE, YOU
CAN SEE EVERYTHING IS NEW, STILL
NOT 100%.

>> Narrator: CAPTAIN SIG HANSEN
INSPECTS THE NEWLY REPAIRED
ELECTRICAL PANEL.

>> THIS IS TEMPORARY, BUT WILL
GET US THROUGH THE SEASON TO
FINISH WHAT WE STARTED.

>> Narrator: THERE'S ONE FINAL
HURDLE BEFORE THE BOAT CAN HEAD
BACK TO SEA.

THROWING THE SWITCH.
>> GETTING EVERYTHING STARTED UP
HERE.

WE HAVE BEEN ON SHORE POWER.
IF EVERYTHING PASSES THE TEST,
WE'LL HEAD OUT OF HERE.

>> OKAY, HERE WE GO.
>> YEAH!
>> PERFECT.

>> Narrator: AFTER BEING SHUT
DOWN OVER A WEEK, THE
NORTHWESTERN IS BACK.

>> LET'S GO, LET'S GO!
>> GET AWAY FROM THE DOCKS HERE.
LET'S GO START ANOTHER TRIP.

NORTHWESTERN IS BACK OFFICIALLY
ON HER OWN POWER.
THAT'S A GOOD FEELING.

>> IT IS.
TO BE PERFECTLY HONEST, I AM
SKIDDISH.

THE FIRE AND A WHOLE NEW PANEL.
YOU HAVE TO GET OUT THERE,
REFINED CRAB, RESTART YOUR

SEASON, REGAIN MOMENTUM, AND TRY
TO KEEP IT GOING.
AND THAT'S TOUGH.

>> Narrator: STILL TOPPING THE
LEADER BOARD, THE NORTHWESTERN
MUST PULL THEIR LEAD WITH A

DAMAGED BOAT.

>> Narrator: SOMEWHERE ON THE
BERING SEA.
>> WHAT THE HECK IS THAT?

>> Narrator: THE TIME BANDIT
CREW SPOTS SOMETHING ODD IN THE
WATER.

>> ALL RIGHT.
>> NEVER SEEN NOTHING LIKE THAT.
THAT COULD HAVE CAME FROM JAPAN

FOR ALL WE KNOW, COULD BE
NUCLEAR.
>> WHY ARE YOU TRAPPING IT?

>> I HAVE NO IDEA.
>> TALK ME INTO DOING SOMETHING
DUMB.

>> HOLY MOLY.
>> WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?
>> OH!

>> GAVE IT A TRY.
>> LEAST WE TRIED.

>> Narrator: 335 MILES NORTHWEST
OF DUTCH HARBOR.
>> WHERE IS EVERYBODY?

ON DECK?
>> Narrator: ON THE
NORTHWESTERN.

>> POW WOW.
READY TO START HAULING?
IT HAS BEEN 14 DAYS SINCE WE

HAULED THE LAST POTS HERE.
CRAZY.
>> Narrator: FINALLY BACK ON THE

GROUNDS AFTER THE BOAT CAUGHT
FIRE.
>> DON'T LET IT GET YOU DOWN,

WE'RE STARTING OVER, THIS IS IT.
>> Narrator: CAPTAIN SIG HANSEN
RALLIES HIS TROOPS.

>> STARTING OVER.
SECOND HALF, NEW START.
LET'S GO!

GET HAULING!
>> YOU READY FOR THIS ONE,
MANDY?

IT'S BEEN DAMN NEAR TWO WEEKS
SINCE WE PULLED THE POTS.
HOPEFULLY THERE'S CRAB IN THESE

POTS, HOPEFULLY THEY DIDN'T
CRAWL OUT, HOPEFULLY THERE'S NO
HOLES, HOPEFULLY NO SAND FLEAS

EATING THE CRAB.
>> Narrator: WITH HIS CRAB
SITTING IDLE ON THE FLOOR OVER A

WEEK, THE CONDITION OF THE POTS
IS ANYONE'S GUESS.
>> WHAT ELSE CAN I SAY?

JUST GOING TO GO STRING MY
STRING.
IF THEY DO SOMETHING, GREAT.

IF THEY FAIL, REALLY HARD TO
RECOVER.
>> IS THERE ANY CRAB IN THIS

THING?
>> HEY!
WE GOT A LEAK.

WE GOT A LEAK DOWN HERE.
>> I KNOW YOU'RE KIDDING.
PULL THE POT.

>> NO, I'M NOT KIDDING.
>> YOU GOT TO SHUT THEM DOWN?
OH GOD.

OH GOD.
WHERE IS THIS DARK CLOUD COMING
FROM, MAN.

THERE'S A LEAK ON THE HOSE ON
THE COILER.
YEAH, CRACKED ALL THE WAY

THROUGH.
>> THE COILER, WE GOT SO MUCH
LINE ON THESE POTS.

IF IT TAKES TEN MINUTES TO FIX,
SAVE YOU, I DON'T KNOW, A DAY IN
THE LONG RUN OF HAND COILING.

A LOT OF HAND COILING.
>> Narrator: THE 450 FEET OF
LINE ON EACH POT, WITH THE

COILER, SURE DOES MAKE LIFE
EASIER.
>> NOT GOING TO LET A LITTLE

LEAK SCARE ME HERE.
HA HA HA.
WELL, IT DOES.

[BLEEP].
>> OKAY, WE ARE OFF AND RUNNING.

>> FIRST POT COMING UP AFTER OUR
FIX.
YOU SURE YOU WANT TO BE A CRAB

FISHERMAN?
ONE [BLEEP] AFTER THE NEXT.
COME ON NOW, LET'S SEE SOME

300s.
BIG NUMBERS!
>> YEAH!

OH YEAH!
>> WHAT DID THAT LOOK LIKE TO
YOU?

>> 4?
ARE THEY ALIVE?
OH MY GOD, THANK YOU SO MUCH,

LORD.
OH MAN.
AND IT IS ALL CLEAN?

>> ALL CLEAN.
OH MY GOD.
THANK YOU.

THAT'S LOOKING GOOD.
>> OH YEAH.
>> 350.

OH NICE.
>> IT IS TOUGH BECAUSE IT FEELS
LIKE WE HAVE BEEN JUST BEHIND

THE 8 BALL AFTER THE FIRE.
ALL I CAN SAY IS I'M THANKFUL WE
SAW A COUPLE OF DECENT NUMBERS

HERE, THAT'S THE SHOT IN THE ARM
THAT I NEEDED MYSELF.
AND AS FAR AS THE CREW

MOTIVATOR, THAT REALLY HELPS.
WE WERE PROSPECTING WHEN WE SET
THE GEAR.

NOW WHATEVER IS IN THE GEAR IS
OLD NEWS.
I THINK NOW WE'VE GOT TO GET

DOWN AND STAY POSITIVE.
FIND SOME STEADY FISHING AND,
YOU KNOW, MAKE EVERY DAY COUNT.

THAT'S WHAT'S GOING TO
