Monte: I'VE BEEN RUNNING BOATS
UP HERE FOR 25 YEARS.

♪♪

I DO KNOW ONE THING.

IF YOU'RE NOT SCARED
ON THE BOAT, YOU'RE STUPID.

♪♪

YOU'VE ALWAYS GOT THAT
IN THE BACK OF YOUR MIND,

HOW DANGEROUS IT IS OUT HERE.

WE'RE ALL VERY VULNERABLE.

-OH.
-WHOA.

-WHOA.
-OH, NO.



-HELP.
-HOLD ON.

Man: WHAT HAPPENED?

DO NOT EVER [BLEEP]
TOUCH THAT.

-HEY.
-WHOA.

TO GET THESE POTS

SHOVED DOWN THEIR THROAT.

Narrator: 275 MILES
NORTHWEST OF DUTCH HARBOR...

Man:
ALL RIGHT, JOSH.

WHEN YOU'RE READY,
WE'RE READY.

THANK YOU.

I'LL WAIT UNTIL THE BAGS
ARE UNTIED,

AND THEN WE'LL KICK
THIS PUPPY OFF HERE.

Narrator: ...ON THE 128-FOOT
CORNELIA MARIE...

Josh: [ LAUGHS ]

I LIKE THE ENTHUSIASM
THIS MORNING.

GOING OVER.

Man #2: LET'S PUT THESE THINGS
ON THE MOVE.

♪♪

Josh: WE HAD A REALLY GOOD
BAIRDI SEASON,

BUT OPIE IS GOING
TO BE THE REAL TEST.

WELL, LET'S SEE
WHAT WE CAN DO.

LET'S SEE IF THIS COULD BE
MY BEST OPIE SEASON YET.

Narrator:
AFTER FILLING HIS TANKS WITH
$200,000 WORTH OF BAIRDI CRAB...

GOING OVER.

...CAPTAIN JOSH HARRIS
IS BACK OUT

TO ATTACK THE OPILIO FISHERY.

Josh:
THIS IS THE ROCK PILE AREA.

I REMEMBER FISHING DOWN HERE
A LONG TIME AGO WITH MY OLD MAN.

WE USED TO GO TO THE ROCK PILE
ALL THE TIME,

AND I PAID ATTENTION
WHEN HE USED TO FISH IT.

IT'S WHERE I MADE MY NAME.

THIS IS YOUR SPOT.

LIKE EVERYONE SAYS,
"THE ROCK IS YOUR SPOT."

Narrator: JOSH'S DAD, PHIL,
MASTERED THE CHALLENGES

OF FISHING THE ROCK PILE.

THE TRICK IS TO GET THE POT
RIGHT NEXT TO THE ROCK

AND NOT ON THE ROCK.

A 5-SQUARE-MILE
UNDERWATER MOUNTAIN RANGE,

THE ROCK PILE REQUIRES
PRECISION FISHING.

IF JOSH LANDS HIS POTS
BESIDE THE ROCK,

THE CRAB ARE PLENTIFUL,

AND IF HE LANDS ON TOP OF IT,
HE'LL COME UP EMPTY.

Man: OVER.

JOSH HAS A GOOD FEELING
ABOUT THIS SPOT,

SO I THINK EVERYBODY ON
THE BOAT HAS A GOOD FEELING.

ANOTHER ONE
IS GOING OVER.

HERE WE GO.
WOO, WOO!

Josh:
PRETTY BLESSED WITH A GOOD CREW.

THESE GUYS ARE GOING TO HURT.

BUT WE'RE GOING TO
MAKE SOME MONEY.

-WATCH OUT OVERHEAD.
-OVER.

OVERHEAD!

[ SNAPPING, CRASHING ]

[BLEEP] HAPPENED?

YOU ALL RIGHT DOWN THERE?

[BLEEP].

[BLEEP].

THAT JUST
DROPPED OUT OF THE SKY.

Narrator: AS THE CRANE OPERATOR
MOVES A POT

FROM THE STACK TO THE LAUNCHER,
THE LINE SNAPS,

SMASHES HIS HEAD
ON A STEEL RAILING.

-IS CASEY UP?
-NO, HE'S NOT.

I JUST WANTED CASEY TO GIVE HIM
THE OLD FLASHLIGHT TEST.

Narrator:
NOW, THE CREW HAS TO EVALUATE
HIM FOR A CONCUSSION.

YOU CAN DEFINITELY TELL.

JUST LOOK AT HIM IN THE LIGHT.

ONE PUPIL WILL BE BIGGER
THAN THE OTHER.

SO, CLOSE YOUR EYES.

YOU GOT TO BE IN THE LIGHT,
SO TURN THIS WAY.

NOW, OPEN YOUR EYES.

YEAH, TAYLOR IS ONE-OF-A-KIND.

HE'S A FISHERMAN.

HE GETS HURT, BUT HE'S ALMOST
LIKE A TIMEX COMMERCIAL,

TAKES A LICKIN'
BUT KEEPS ON TICKIN'.

[ THUD ]
AH.

Narrator:
AFTER BANGING UP HIS KNEE...

OH.

...AND TAKING A HOOK
TO THE HEAD...

YOU OKAY?

HEY, I'M BLEEDING.
I'M BLEEDING.

Narrator: ...THIS WILL MARK
THE THIRD INJURY THIS SEASON

FOR THE YOUNG GREENHORN.

I'M LOOKING
FOR ONE EYE DILATED.

YEAH, OKAY.

YEAH, BUT THAT KID DEFINITELY
USES HIS HEAD WAY TOO MUCH.

YOU KNOW, YOU GET THESE GUYS,
AND THEY'RE YOUNG,

AND THEY WANT
TO PROVE THEMSELVES,

AND THEY JUST DON'T STOP
RUNNING WHEN THEY'RE INJURED.

HOPE WE CAN KEEP
THE INJURIES DOWN.

WITH ANY LUCK, WE'RE GOING
TO REALLY KNOCK

THE PISS OUT OF THIS PUPPY.

Monte: I DIDN'T REALLY FEEL LIKE
I NEEDED ANY HELP,

SEEMED TO THINK I DID.

IF I'M NOT GOING,
WE NEED ANOTHER GUY.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY.

Narrator: OWNER KEITH COLBURN
IS SITTING OUT THE SEASON

DUE TO A SPINAL INFECTION...

MOUSE, I'M NOT TRYING
TO RAIN ON YOUR PARADE.

YOU CAN'T RUN 24 HOURS
A DAY WITHOUT HELP.

...AND BECAUSE OF
THE GREATER DISTANCES

AND SEVERE WEATHER THAT
COME WITH OPILIO SEASON...

WE HAVE TO GET YOU UP

I MEAN, I'M NOT SURE
HOW FAST YOU CAN FLY.

Harry:
IT DON'T TAKE ME LONG TO PACK.

Narrator: KEITH HAS HIRED
A SECOND SKIPPER.
