AVERAGE BECAUSE MUCH LIKE THE
BERING SEA, THE CLOCK DOESN'T
STOP.
I WAS GIVEN A CHANCE TO GO OUT

HOW WELL I CATCH IT DEPICTS MY
FUTURE.
WE'RE GOING FOR IT.

PUSHING YOU THIS WAY.
>> Narrator: RONNIE JAMES AND
HUNTER COOPER, ODDLY NAMED
SWEDISH TWINS WHO ARE NEITHER
SWEDES OR TWINS FACE THEIR FIRST
BERING SEA STORM.

IT WILL BE DEVASTATING.
HE IS NOT GOING ON DECK UNTIL WE
SEE DRAMATIC IMPROVEMENT.
THESE ANTIBIOTICS, TAKE TWO
ORALLY, ONE LIKE A SUP OS TORI.
>> LAST TIME IT HURT HIS TUMMY,
THAT'S HOW WE GOT SCREWED.
SOMETHING IS WRONG, WE'RE GOING
TO FIX IT.
NICE TO HANG ONTO THE KIDS.
KEEP THE FAMILY HERE.
THIS IS WILD BILL NICE AS IT
GETS.
LET'S GET SOME SORT OF
CONTAINER, GET WARM WATER IN IT.

EPSOM SALT WITH HOT WATER.
SOAK YOUR HAND, KEEP IT IN
THERE, IT WILL HELP.
YOU'RE OFF THE DECK UNTIL YOU'RE
BETTER.
>> [BLEEP] I AM GOING TO HAVE TO
RUN AROUND LIKE A MADMAN.
>> YOU COMING OFF DECK DOESN'T
MEAN YOU'RE OFF IT, IT MEANS WE

>> NO.
>> HEY!
I AM TALKING HERE.
>> Narrator: WHILE THE CREW
WORKS SHORTHANDED, PAIR IS
HEALING FROM A BODY BLOW.
>> YEAH, RETIRED.
ONE LESS PERSON ON DECK MAKES IT
THAT MUCH HARDER AND SLOWER FOR
EVERYONE ELSE.
>> THERE'S DEFINITELY SOME
RESENTMENT TOWARD BEAR NOW AND
ON DECK.
>> SEAN DOESN'T WANT HIM TO
BECAUSE THEY'RE BUDDIES.
>> I THINK THOSE GUYS TALK TOO
MUCH OUT THERE.
I THINK THAT'S [BLEEP].
I TREAT THEM LIKE ANYONE ELSE,
EVEN THOUGH HE IS MY BUDDY.
HE HAS NOTHING TO COMPLAIN
ABOUT.
>> TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS, HE IS
IN THERE SLEEPING AND WE ARE OUT
GETTING BAIRDI.
>> WE'RE GOING TO GO LIKE A MILE
AND A HALF.
>> PROBLEM NOW IS IN BETWEEN
STRINGS, THEY HAVE TO MAKE BAIT.
SO THEY DON'T GET A CHANCE FOR
REST.
>> SEE WHAT THE DEAL IS.
HOPEFULLY HE IS MIRACULOUSLY
HEALED BUT I DOWNTOWN IT.
>> BEAR?
HOW YOU FEEL.
>> FEELS BETTER.
>> REALLY TENDER STILL?
>> JUST REALLY SORE.
>> I AM TRYING TO FIGURE OUT IF
YOU NEED AN X-RAY OR NOT.
WE NEED TO COVER OUR BASES.
LAST THING I WANT IS YOU TO SAY
I AM GOOD AND THERE GOES ANOTHER
ONE, BUT WE HAVE AN ISSUE, TOO,
WITH OUR CRAB.
I STILL HAVE 70,000 POUNDS TO
CATCH.
>> I HATE TO LEAVE THE GROUNDS
WHEN THE FISHING IS SO GOOD.
>> Narrator: THE CAPTAIN HAS A
DECISION TO MAKE.
STAY ON MONSTER FISHING OR HEAD
TO TOWN TO GET HIM HELP.
>> I THINK HE LET HIS HOMEBOY
DOWN FOR SURE.
>> I AM GOING TO HAVE YOU GET TO
CLINIC, GET AN X-RAY.
SEE WHAT THE VERDICT IS.
WE HAVE TO PLAY IT SAFE.
WE'RE GOING TO RUN HIM IN TO ST.
PAUL, GET HIM TO THE CLINIC.
IT IS CRAZY.
HAD A 185, 195, 190, 154.
IT IS TEMPTING BUT I AM NOT
GOING TO LEAVE HIM HANGING
BECAUSE WE HAVE GOOD FISHING.
PAIN IN THE ASS.
