>> Narrator: NOW CAPTAIN AND
CREW ARE BACK TO SQUARE ONE.
>> FISHING HERE IS VERY, VERY

DIFFICULT.
WE START THE YEAR OUT GOOD,
THAT'S ALL YOU CAN DO.

TRY DIFFERENT DEPTHS, DIFFERENT
AREAS AND GO FROM THERE.
>> TIRED.

GETTING MORE TIRED.
>> THE GUYS ARE GETTING WORN
OUT.

THEY'RE NOT SPRING CHICKENS,
LET'S FACE IT.
>> IT WILL BE A STRUGGLE TO FILL

IT.
>> NOW IT WILL BE HARD TO
REGROUP.

AND WE HAVE A LOT OF POUNDS TO
CATCH.
I'M JUST GOING TO PULL THE PLUG,

LET THE GUYS TAKE A BREAK, THEN
START IN THE MORNING.
>> I HOPE WE CAN DO IT.



>> THAT'S IT.
WE WILL CALL IT A NIGHT.
>> Narrator: IN THE GALLEY.

>> CAN'T EXPECT MUCH FROM A KID.
I DON'T CARE IF THEY LIKE IT OR
NOT.

>> Narrator: SIG'S DAUGHTER
MANDY HANSEN DOES HER PART TO
KEEP THE OPERATION COOKING.

>> IT IS NICE TO GET MANDY ON
BOARD, SHE'S ALREADY STEPPING
IN.

WHENEVER WE HAVE TO GIVE THE
GUYS A BREAK, RECHARGE
BATTERIES, SHE WILL BE HERE.

AND WE'RE GOING TO NEED HER THIS
EVENING.
SHE'S THE NEW WATCH MAN.

>> Narrator: MANDY WILL TAKE THE
HELM WHILE CAPTAIN AND CREW GET
UNINTERRUPTED SHUT EYE.

>> SHE'S GOING FOR A CAPTAIN OR
MATE'S LICENSE AS WELL, YOU HAVE
TO CLOCK THE HOURS IN.

>> THAT'S IT, I'M DONE.
BETTER GET MANDY UP HERE.

>> Narrator: A TIRED FATHER
HANDS CONTROL OF THE FAMILY
BUSINESS TO HIS DAUGHTER.

REMEMBER WHAT I TOLD YOU ABOUT
THE GAUGES, YOU KNOW.

SHE'S ALL YOURS, CAP.
OUT.
IF THERE'S ANYTHING, YOU WAKE US

UP.
>> ALL RIGHT.
>> OKAY.

MY FIRST WATCH ALONE AT NIGHT, A
LITTLE SCARY.
BUT I'M OUT HERE, BEING ABLE TO

HELP THE GUYS SO THEY CAN GET
ENOUGH REST, REENERGIZE, BACK
OUT ON DECK.

SIG HAS BEEN UP AND DOWN, ROLLER
COASTER, LONG TRIP FOR HIM, LONG
LAST TWO WEEKS.

>> Narrator: 245 MILES
SOUTHEAST.
>> THESE ARE STACKED UP, THE

TIDE IS RUNNING TO THE WEST, WE
HAVE A NORTHWEST WIND THAT'S A
GOOD COMBINATION.

GREAT, CAME OUT OF NOWHERE.
NOT A LOT OF FUN NOW.
>> Narrator: ON THE 108 FOOT

CAPE CAUTION.
>> BEST OF ALL MY STRINGS WERE
IN THIS AREA.

IT IS A GOOD SIZED SPOT.
LITTLE BIT SOUTH AND THEN I AM
GOING TO GO A LITTLE DEEPER.

AND IF THEY'RE WORKING TOWARD
THE DEEP, SHOULD RUN RIGHT INTO
THEM.

>> Narrator: CAPTAIN WILD BILL
MAKROWSKI HAS ONLY $1,000 POUNDS
TO GO BEFORE HE SWITCHED TO

BAIRDI.
>> WE NEED THAT TO MEET QUOTA.

>> CAN DO A TRAINING EXERCISE
BUT I'M GETTING TRAINED MYSELF
ON THESE.

LUMPY, FROM A WEIRD DIRECTION.
ANYBODY CAN HAUL CRAB POTS ON A
LAKE.

THROW A LUMP IN THERE, THINGS
CHANGE.
>> THIS SEASON.

>> MAYBE YOU GUYS RUN THE GEAR.
>> WILD BILL HOPED TO MOTIVATE
HIS SON TO TAKE MORE INITIATIVE.

>> LOOK AT ALL OF THAT
EXCITEMENT.
>> Narrator: ZACH HASN'T ALWAYS

TAKEN THE BAIT.
>> MOST ENTHUSIASTIC THING HE
COULD SAY OR DO WAS -- MAKE SURE

ZACH HAS KNOWLEDGE TO FOLLOW
BEHIND ME.
SO FAR I DON'T KNOW ABOUT HIS

MOTIVATION AND HOW TO FISH.
HE HAS AN OPPORTUNITY THAT SUCH
A SMALL NUMBER OF PEOPLE IN THE

WORLD WILL HAVE.
IS HE GOING TO WATCH IT GO BY?
>> LOOK OUT!

>> THE PROBLEM IS YOU HAVE TO
TAKE CONTROL WHEN YOU'RE IN THIS
POSITION.

THERE'S A LITTLE POTENTIAL FOR
BANGING PEOPLE UP.
PROBABLY BETTER I DIDN'T DO IT

MYSELF.
>> THE WEATHER PICKED UP.
>> CRAZY.

GOT SOME CRAZY BIG SWELLS COMING
THROUGH RIGHT NOW.
>>

>> Narrator: ON THE CAPE
CAUTION.
>> LOOK OUT, LOOK OUT!

WATCH YOUR LINE, WATCH YOUR
LINE!

LINE.

>> Narrator: ZACH'S QUICK
REACTION PREVENTED A CREW MEMBER
FROM GETTING A BITE AND GOING

OVER BOARD.
>> ZACH.
>> YEAH.

>> GOOD REACTION.
>> ZACH DID A GREAT JOB.
HE'S GOTTEN TO BE A DAMN GOOD

DECKHAND.
THERE'S SO MUCH RIGHT HERE FOR
THE ASKING FOR ZACH.

YOU WANT TO BACK YOUR OWN.

BECAME AN ARCHITECT NOW.
>> Narrator: 23-YEAR-OLD CAPTAIN

SHAWN DWYER BATTLES THE BERING
SEA WHILE CHASING BAIRDI.
>> 51.

THE WAY I HAVE THE GEAR LAID OUT
IS LIKE A WALL ACROSS THE BAIRDI
DEPTHS.

NOW THAT WE'RE GETTING HONED IN,
NEED TO MOVE THE GEAR AROUND NOT
VERY FAR, STILL PUT THEM ON THE

PILE.
LEAPFROGGING THEM OVER EACH
OTHER.

WALK THEM DOWN THE WALL.
IT IS A BIG CHESS GAME.
>> BOX THEM IN, GRIND THEM DOWN.

>> LAST SEASON GOT LUCKY, LANDED
ON SOME CRAB, LUCKED OUT.
THIS WEEK WE ARE HAVING TO

PITCH.
TURN YOUR EARS OFF, IT'S WORK
SOMETIMES.

MY DAD WAS FIRST GENERATION.
HE STARTED BY FISHING BAIRDI IN
HIS 20s.

NOW I'M FISHING BAIRDI IN MY
20s.
KIND OF COOL.

ONE OF THE THINGS I LEARNED FROM
HIM SPECIFICALLY WAS MY DECISION
MAKING ABILITY SO I HOPE I'M

MAKING THE RIGHT DECISION.
NO NEED TO MOVE FASTER.
>> Narrator: 225 MILES

NORTHWEST.
>> HOPEFULLY CATCH SOME.
>> Narrator: ON THE CORNELIA

MARIE.
>> CAN'T HAVE TOO MANY POTS LIKE
THAT.

>> Narrator: JOSH HARRIS
SPOT-CHECKS GEAR HE SET 18 HOURS
AGO.

>> UPS AND DOWNS, PART OF THE
SEASON.
RIGHT NOW, SEEING ZERO.

>> ALL RIGHT, GUYS.
WE'RE HERE TO CHECK ANOTHER ONE.
>> GET A BETTER CRAB THAN THAT.

>> WE HAVE TO HIT PRODUCTION.
>> Narrator: AFTER TAKING
CONTROL OF THE BOAT FOR OPILIO

SEASON.
>> I DON'T KNOW WHY.
>> BACK IN THE DAY, DOESN'T MEAN

THEY'RE STILL HERE.
>> Narrator: THE PROMISING START
HIT THE WALL.

>> WE PULLED FOUR BLANKS.
BUT HERE, THE NEXT POT FLOATING
OVER TOP OF THIS DID IT AGAIN.

IT WAS STILL READING THE BOTTOM.
THAT'S A POT SITTING IN A BALL
OF SOMETHING.

>> OH MY GOD.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
>> DUDE, LOOK AT THIS.

>> I AM BETTING CLOSE TO 550.
>> THAT'S UNREAL.
>> RIGHT ON.

BIGGEST POT OF THE SEASON.
>> ME RIGHT THERE.
>> THE BOTTOM IS HERE.

THIS IS NOT THE BOTTOM.
THIS IS THE BOTTOM, STRAIGHT
HERE, THE BOTTOM ENDED.

THIS IS LIFE OF SOME SORT.
IT IS CRAB.
>> MY GOD.

>> TECHNICALLY NOT SUPPOSED TO
BE ABLE TO SEE CRAB IN THE
SOUNDER.

PULL UP A POT, HAS 600 CRAB ON
IT.
>> SOMETHING IS HAPPENING.

WE MIGHT HAVE SOMETHING HUGE
GOING ON HERE.
>> Narrator: CRABS MOVE ACROSS

THE OCEAN FLOOR IN LARGE
SCHOOLS.
BUT ACCORDING TO FISHING LORE,

WHETHER FOR PROTECTION,
REPRODUCTION OR FOOD SOURCE,
THEY BEGIN TO SWARM INTO A

MOUNTAIN OF SHELLS AND LEGS
KNOWN AS A CRAB FALL.
THE MOTHER LODE OF MOTHER LODES.

>> WE ARE GOING TO SET
UNORTHODOX, SLOW, SET A LOT OF
POTS IN A LITTLE AREA.

BE READY.
>> BE READY TO MOVE.
DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH CRAB IS DOWN

THERE.
>> Narrator: TYPICALLY THEY
POSITION EVERY QUARTER MILE.

TO HIT THE CENTER OF THE CRAB
BALL, JOSH WILL SIT IDLE AND SET
BARELY A BOAT LENGTH APART.

>> BEAUTIFUL OPILIO CRAB.
>> MY DAD WOULD SAY WRONG HERD.
>> THIS IS THE TIGHTEST I HAVE

SEEN GEAR SET.
THERE'S ONE POT HERE.
THAT'S ONE WE JUST SET.

THE NEXT ONE ISN'T EVEN A BOAT
LENGTH AWAY.
ONE BEHIND THAT, NOT EVEN A BOAT

LENGTH BEHIND THAT.
>> ONE OF THESE MISSES, THEY'LL
ALL MISS.

ALL WITHIN TWO FOOTBALL FIELDS
OF EACH OTHER.
>> KNOCK ON WOOD.

SEE IF I GOT THAT

>> Narrator: 415 MILES NORTHWEST
OF DUTCH HARBOR.
ABOARD THE NORTHWESTERN.

WILL END.

GET USED TO THAT.

WE ARE SO BEHIND THE EIGHT BALL.
HAD WE BEEN OUT HERE --
>> Narrator: BACK AT HOME, SIG

TURNS ATTENTION TO STUFFING THE
TANKS.
>> I HAVE A STRING HERE, I AM

GOING TO START HAULING NOW.
YOU NERVOUS?
THERE'S A LOT OF IFS, MAYBES,

BUT SEE LITTLE BUZZARDS MOVING
AROUND, THEY'RE NOT PLAYING
NICE.

WE HAVE TO STICK TO WHAT OUR GUT
SAYS AND JUST DO IT.
WE'LL SEE WHAT THEY DO HERE.

COME ON, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE.

WE HAVE A PROBLEM HERE.
>> SOMETHING WRONG?
>> THE LAUNCHER SHIFTED FUNNY.

>> HAVING THE WORST TIME.
>> TWO PINS CONNECT THE
HYDRAULIC ARMS TO THE LAUNCHER.

>> WHEN YOU SHAKE THE POT AFTER
AWHILE, IT GETS LOOSE.
>> Narrator: WITHOUT THEM, THE

HYDRAULICS CAN'T POWER THE
LAUNCHER AND THE BOATS CAN'T
FISH.

>> THEY JUMP RIGHT IN.
HE HAS THE TOOLS COMING OUT,
PROMPTED EVERYBODY TO GIVE HIM A

HAND.
>> HE TAKES CONTROL OF THE FIX.

INTO HIM.

CAPTAIN, LET THIS THING GO BY,
BECAUSE HE KNOWS I AM NOT GOING

>> HOPEFULLY IT WILL LAST

ANOTHER FOUR HOURS.
>> GOOD TO GO?
ALL RIGHT.

>> COULD HAVE BEEN A DISASTER.
WE'RE STILL WITHIN THE WINDOW, I
MEAN, IF WE CAN KEEP A SIMILAR

PACE, GET OUT OF HERE, WEATHER
IS SUPPOSED TO BE BEARABLE, CAN
STILL MAKE OUR ARRIVAL TIME.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.
THIS IS OUR OPI SEASON.
DELIVER THIS AND OFF TO BAIRDI

WE GO.

OBVIOUSLY.

I'M JUST GOING TO DESTROY THESE
CRABS.
I SMOKED IT.

>> GUYS.
[BLEEP].

WENCH, RIGHT THERE.
>> I WAS ABOUT TO KNOCK ON WOOD,
BLEW OUT THE HYDRAULIC HOSE.

I WAS JUST UP HERE TALKING ABOUT
HOW GOOD THE FISHING WAS.
RULE NUMBER ONE.

DON'T TALK ABOUT IT.
SOMEBODY DOES HAVE A SENSE OF
HUMOR FOR SURE.

>> YEAH, EVERYTHING WAS GOING
GOOD, FIRST STRING OF THE DAY,
PICKING WENCH BLEW A LINE.

>> GET THAT HOSE, GET BACK TO
IT.
>> THAT WAS PROBABLY MY OLD MAN

POKING HOLES IN THE HYDRAULIC
HOSE FOR ME.
DAD, YOU'RE DOING GOOD, BUT YOU

HAVE TO BE HUMBLE OUT HERE, NOT
SIT HERE BRAGGING.
>> HYDRO COMING ON.

WOO!
>> GOOD?

IN AND FIXED.
>> LIKE A NASCAR TEAM.

WAYS, NEVER SAY ANYTHING ABOUT
FISHING GOOD AGAIN.
DIRECT CORRELATION, I DON'T CARE

WHAT YOU SAY.

POTS IN A GIANT BALL.
>> Narrator: BASED ON A FACEBOOK

KNOWN AS CRAB BALL.

TANGLED UP.
HOPEFULLY THERE'S A BUNCH OF
CRAB IN THEM.

[BLEEP].
>> STARTING TO GET THICKER.
>> OH!

>> NOT WHAT WE WERE HOPING FOR.
>> NOT EVEN CLOSE.
[BLEEP].

CATCH ANY CRAB.
