A PAINFULLY SLOW START
IN BRUTAL WEATHER.
YOU KNOW WHAT?
I'VE SEEN A LOT OF WEATHER.
I'VE DONE THIS A LONG TIME.
THAT WAS A WEIRD BIT OF WEATHER.
IT JUST SEEMED LIKE EVERY WAVE
THAT HIT THE BOAT WAS LIKE,
BOOM, GAVE IT
A LITTLE EXTRA SHOT.
Narrator: THE END IS FINALLY
IN SIGHT
FOR CAPTAIN WILD BILL
WICHROWSKI'S KING SEASON.
Bill: EACH ONE OF THESE POTS
IS ABOUT $3,600.

THE KIND, THE BIG WHITE BELLIES,
THE STUFF THAT THE MARKET
WANTS TO SEE.

Bill: YOU KNOW, AS LOUSY
AS THE SEASON WAS,
WHEN YOU END ONE THIS WAY,
PEOPLE ARE KIND OF SHORTSIGHTED,
AND THEY'RE GOING
TO HATE KING '17,
BUT THEY'RE NOT GOING
TO HATE IT AS BAD.

TOO LITTLE OR TOO MUCH,
BECAUSE NATURALLY, THESE GUYS,
THEIR MATH IS A LITTLE OFF.
NICE-LOOKING CRAB ON TOP,
ANYWAY.
SO, BASICALLY, I'VE GOT
750 CRAB IN THE BACK TANK,
