Deadliest Catch (2005–…): Season 18, Episode 18 - Hell on the High Seas - full transcript
Hey, brother.
We just left town
a little bit ago,
Where we'd be a couple of days
out here, so.
How bad is the ice up there
The ice is eight miles
from me, northeast of me.
John speaking...
I don't even know
if we can get there physically
Before the ice covers it up.
John speaking...
You guys be careful.
All right. Bye.
Nothing's
Easy, is it?
Such depressing information,
Where we wanted to fish is
going to be covered with ice.
And we got nothing
but northeasterly blows
For the next seven
or eight days.
We're not gonna stop. We're
gonna fish right through this thing.
We're gonna be
in a world of hurt.
130 miles north
of Dutch harbor...
On the Cornelia Marie.
Woah!
That was a wild one.
Ooh, ho, ho.
Casey speaking...
Ooh, ho, ho.
Holy
No.
We're the last boat
out of the harbor,
Gonna fish for opies.
We had a really good
paradise trip.
Right now, we're just picking
up the rest of our gear.
Weather is starting to really
take a turn for the worst right now.
To kick off
their opilio crab season,
Captains Josh Harris
and Casey McManus
Rest 40 pots from the deep
s to red on the edge o f the grounds.
There to greet them,
a massive low pressure syste
1,000 miles wide,
moving west off the mainland
Dubbed the aleutian low now
on track to pull the arctic ice pack
50 miles farther south.
Oh, ho ho!
Waves are getting big.
- Yeah.
- Where to go?
I lost it.
These swells are too big.
Aww, Damn it.
Thing. Stay.
Nice shot.
Wait for that roll to go by.
There's white water
everywhere.
It's scary to have Taylor
up there Around now.
In case one breaks
over the bow.
They just Keep coming.
Back up.
Ooh!
Holy
Wow.
Where's Taylor?
- Right there in front.
- Okay.
Everybody all right
down there?
Yep. We're all good.
Casey speaking on radio...
You don't see those
coming through too often?
Yeah.
Go to college.
Don't come out here.
We need to get these pots on.
This set has to work out.
We have to find
some sort of life to work o
Or we're backwards.
120 miles southeast
along the edge of the aleutian low.
Aboard the saga.
Sean, you there?
Yeah. So did you
hear the news about the closure?
Jake speaking...
Yeah. Yeah. Sunday.
Yeah. I... I told the plant that I
started putting fish on at noon today.
When are you going
to get out of here?
I think I'm just gonna
stick it out today, tomorrow.
And then stack them up on
Saturday and then bail out.
Okay. Later, Sean.
Sean speaking on radio...
Basically what I'm
going to do right now is prospect.
I'm going to go real shallow,
real deep,
And I'm just going to try
to look for the motherlode.
It's the only way
I can catch up now.
Captain Jake
Anderson drops test pots
From 50 to 78 fathoms.
1.2 miles.
Hits and he'll
invest his full of 100 pot load.
Miss and his COD season
and bottom line will flounde
Mac speaking...
Together, yeah.
Mac speaking...
Shyanne speaking...
I come down one time,
It was really early
in the morning
And I see Mason and shyanne
cuddling and to me,
I see my microwave getting
close to my stove top oven.
I see two pieces of equipment.
It doesn't make any sense
to me.
I was very confused.
While hunting COD
the skipper's niece
Also caught the Bering sea'
unlikeliest catch,
Feelings for engineer
and Beau Mason twyman.
But I accepted it.
Mason's a good guy.
He's my right-hand man.
So, if there was probably
anybody I'd want her to be with,
It'd probably be Mason.
Mac speaking
Shyanne speaking...
Mac speaking
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Mac speaking
Mason speaking...
All right, everybody
on your toes out there.
We're going to start dumping.
All right. Okay.
Deckhand 1 speaking...
Goin' over,
hey, watch your feet.
Connect.
Going over.
So far behind right now.
Here we go!
Whoo-ho!
I'm starting to feel the heat
coming from the kitchen.
We can burn through today
without any problems,
We might be able to catch up.
Goin' over.
Goin' over. Goin' over.
Throw it, Mac.
Jake! Help!
Jake! Jake!
Deckhand 2 speaking...
- Shyanne speaking...
- Mason speaking...
Oh, man.
Just blew a hose
in the extension.
You can just leave it
in the rack for now.
Jake speaking...
I'll do it.
Facing a ruptured
hydraulic line on the crane,
Jake's only option
is a hands-on replacement.
I have to send a guy up 30
feet in the air to change a hose.
All it's gonna take
is for Mason to fall,
And his life is over.
Turns out the ma with
the brass to date the captain's niece
Is the same one
courageous enough
To attempt the fix
in 20 foot seas.
All right,
I'm moving down.
Shyanne, you need
to man that tag line.
It's not Going in.
Wrap that tie around
the rail a couple of times.
Take the slack out of it and
then hold it tight in your hand.
It ain't going to be pretty
what happens to his face.
Shyanne speaking...
There you go!
There you go.
Basically, I have
his life in my hands, I suppose.
Not a good feeling.
Deckhand 2 speaking...
Mason speaking
Hang on, Mason.
Hey, hey, hey!
Hang on!
On the sa.
Hang on, Mason.
Hey, hey, hey.
Hang on.
Heads up. Heads up.
Woah.
You okay?
Be careful, all right.
Shyanne, keep tension
on that line.
Shyanne speaking...
Deckhand 2 speaking
If I can't get that crane
working, I'm not going anywhere.
Watch your foot.
Mason speaking
Okay, shyann
Mason speaking
Oh, god!
Mason's done with the repair.
You good to go?
It's done, go ahead.
Looks pretty good.
The old hose here,
This is where it busted
right here.
Jake speaking...
Running out of time.
Every second counts.
Let's go, let's go.
Goin' over.
Just one stressful
event after another.
370 miles southwest...
On the southern edge
of the aleutian low.
Aboard the Patricia Lee.
We're south
of amutka bank.
It's the right depth,
right area.
Mother nature.
You never know
about her, though.
I'm seeing two and a
half knots of current 2.3.
But this big aleutian low
is an ass-kicker.
If this has crab
like I think it does,
I think we got it.
48 hours
before an offload,
Captain rip Carlton
battles storm-fueled tides
For his final long line stri
of 50 pots,
His 200,000 pound
target in sight.
Here we go.
Just give us a nice string.
That's not asking too much.
Ooh-hoo.
Hell, yeah!
Oh, we are in frickin' money.
Deckhand 1 speaking...
Damn it. That's good.
Come on, baby.
Here it is, come on.
Tangled. Damn it.
You got to turn
that top.
We're not gonna get it
all the way to the anchor.
Chain on the tangle.
Can't get
anything on that anchor.
Chain
on the tangle right now.
No, no, no. Damn it.
On the crane.
We're putting it on the crane.
With two buoy
lines tangled,
The crew attempts to cut out the
snarl without severing the long li
That connects them
to the remaining 47 pots
Still soaking
on the ocean floor.
Okay.
Cut the bridle.
No, no, no, the bridle.
Yes.
This has taken way too long.
Down we go.
That's we wanted.
Get the
Out of the way.
You know, the current's
pushing me back over the line.
Woah!
It's coming tight, boys.
Rip speaking...
Deckhand 1 speaking...
Guys were Around
so long.
Nothing went the way
it should have.
That's beyond disappointing.
I don't even know,
if we'll find the other end
It's deeper.
We've got to haul it
backwards against the curren
Everything just got
a thousand times harder.
280 miles away..
On the Cornelia Marie.
Dear lord, please
look over us, protect us.
Please make sure our pots are
bountiful and our fuel burn is low.
Amen. Let's do it.
Hey, it's sinners like us, that
keep Jesus in business, okay?
35 miles below the
southernmost boat in the fleet.
The risk
is setting down here
Is we're basically starting where
the survey couldn't really survey.
Captains Josh
and Casey prepared to set
The first string
of their opilio season.
Hail Mary in this one.
Oh, boy.
On uncharted grounds.
And 390 miles northwest.
Ooh!
On the wiza.
I'm less than
a mile and a half
From the Russian border,
right here.
We got crab and zeros.
The crab aren't going
any deeper,
So I'm going
to get a little shallower.
Heading back to the east.
Right, tylor.
Need to get
this gear in the water.
Goin' over.
I'm under a time crunch.
36 hours after defending
the us borde from Russian trawlers,
Captain Keith colburn
defends against empty pots,
Tracking the opilio school
13 miles east.
I got a stuffed tank
one and two.
On the hunt for a
sorely needed 50,000 pounds.
The ice gives me
maybe two days with any luck,
You start putting 10,000 crabs
strings on this boat
And the crab
fill those tanks fast.
And that's what we need
right now.
Heads up, heads up,
heads up, coming at you.
Hold on.
It's gonna be kind of
a dinghy set. I'm sorry.
Casey speaking on radio...
Okay?
Goin' over.
Keith on radio...
Watch out.
Deckhand 2 speaking...
Uh-oh. Uh-oh.
Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Uh-oh.
Watch out. Watch out!
Keith speaking on radio
Here comes a big one.
Keith speaking on radio...
Oh
Here it comes a big one.
Oh
Woah! Watch,
watch out, watch out.
- Ooh.
- Wow.
Yeah. There goes the stack.
You doing good? You good?
Everybody good?
Deckhand 1 speaking
All right.
You know,
life is pretty fast.
You just gonna drop
this stuff.
Put more weight on the boat.
Boat sit slower, crew gets wetter.
Bring on the Popsicle.
When is this Weather
going to give us a break, man?
I'm going to be a happy guy
w hen we get this gear o ff the boat.
650 miles southeast...
Aboard the Patricia Lee.
Damn it.
It should be right here.
We're at the other end
looking for our gear right now.
We don't get this, we could
be out of business for all day.
No production.
With one end
of the long lines severed..
Rip speaking on radio
Captain rip arriv at
the only accessible end of his gear.
That's our starting lineup
up there right now.
Okay, I'm gonna turn on
the hydraulics.
Giving him one last
shot at recovering his final string,
Before turning his bow toward
town for an offload in 45 hours.
We're gonna get this thing up
and we're gonna haul it
If it's the last thing I do
Kris speaking...
Deckhand 1 speaking...
Come on. Please give it to us.
Deckhand 1 speaking...
And there's crab.
Deckhand 1 speaking...
We're gonna get it.
No, no, no, no.
No, no, no, no.
Kris speaking...
Oh, man. We're hung up.
Well, we are
Right now.
Lots of sharp
Ridge lines I'm going over,
Lots of places
to park the line.
I'm going to try to pop it
off the bottom.
Kris speaking...
Out of thecoiler. Our of the coiler.
With his strings
snagged on the rocky ocean floor,
The skipper slacks the line
g ambling a jolt f rom his hydraulic block,
Can free the rope
from the terrain below.
Rip speaking on radio...
Go!
There we go. It'll come now.
Yeah. Come on out,
fish golden crab. It's easy.
- Whoo!
- Oh, yeah!
How many?
Rip speaking on radio
We're getting it.
Yeah!
Kris speaking...
Nice. Nice.
I like it.
We need some crabs.
We're just gonna keep haulin
If I don't get
this gear hauled,
We're going
to run out of time.
380 miles nor the a
in the southern tendrils
Of the aleutian low...
Jake speaking...
On the saga.
There you go.
This derby fishing.
They got another
24 hours to go.
I'm looking for a home, man.
I started in the deep
And then went
into the shallows.
I'm looking for anywhere
from 500 to 700 pounds per pot.
Wah-wah-wah.
Oh It's nothing.
Three fish.
Well,
we're getting fed.
But I mean, we're not getting
a huge amount of fish.
So, yeah. I don't know.
What is this?
That won't get us anywhere
but heartbroken.
Nothing.
Joe speaking...
But we gotta pick up
and reset.
We're not looking so hot.
This Sucks.
I was hopeful, but honestly,
I think, this is too deep.
Deckhand speaking...
You okay, Joe?
Aboard the saga.
You okay, Joe?
Deckhand speaking...
Deckhand speaking...
Joe speaking...
What happened?
Joe speaking...
That's all my fingers
closed tight.
That's as far
as I can close it in.
Hey, why don't you go in
And you think you can make us something
to eat and rest that hand of yours?
Sorry, Joe.
Shyanne, you're on the rail.
You're going to have to help her.
Get ready.
Felt like a good time
to throw her at the rail.
Joe doesn't like
being off deck.
It doesn't have to be
a big injury for you to die
Or get something amputated
in the Bering sea.
Okay. Here we go.
Oh my God.
Oh my god!
- Come on, get the pot.
- You're stepping on your line.
My niece is going to get tough
whether she likes it or not.
Deckhand 1 speaking...
Hey, hey, hey.
No, no, no, no.
None of that
Boyfriend.
She don't get no Pas
All right. She got it.
Oh, my god! She's so mad.
That looks easy from
the other perspective, doesn't it?
Let's see what we get.
Something.
There's fish in there.
Chuck it hard.
Nice throw.
Do it shyanne, come on. Nice.
Look at your feet.
Oh, yeah.
Dude.
It's not a bad pot.
It's starting to get better
as I get shallower.
Hope you have fun throwing
those shots on top of the pot.
Get your shot ready.
All right.
That's the hard way.
I'll show you the technique.
Now watch? You can go
like this. Same thing.
Just throw it and push it.
Okay? Throw it, push.
Way easier than
with your arm. Trust me.
Don't Yourself up.
I give it a c-minus,
but you did better.
She's doing all right for doing
the whole thing for her first time.
But you know,
it's... It's overwhelming.
So, she's getting
a little irritated
Like every greenhorn does.
Ooh!
She hated that.
She hates me right now.
Bad.
Yeah. Not very fun.
It's looks cool when
Joe does it, but yeah.
I don't like that
one Bit.
I got a lot of catchi
up to do.
Try to set in shallower water,
which was looking good.
We'll get our heads
on straight.
680 miles
to the north...
Literally going to be
charging straight into it.
Aboard the wiza.
Copy that.
It's gonna be a
Surprise for all of you.
Here it comes.
We went further deep
Miserable weather,
horrible icing.
Clock is ticking.
Pushing up
the Russian line,
Captain Keith tracks the
school to eastern shallows.
It just takes foreve
to fill those tanks.
Eager to make
bare tanks brim.
All right. Let's get
something out of this sucker.
Go baby. Come on.
Fire up the line.
Fire up the line.
Give us a load!
Give us a load!
Yeah.
Yeah, baby. They're coming.
They're coming, cap.
Yeah, boys.
You're getting excited, man.
I love
this mother Russia crab.
Paul speaking...
Hey, pal, you know,
let's get dialed in on this.
Roger.
Keith speaking...
- Yeah.
- Alright, ready the next one.
Heads up and throw.
Crazy weather right now.
They call it
snow crab for a reason.
Setting this gear ba
on these numbers.
We've got a shot
at filling the boat.
What the
Is that all about?
What's going on?
All I know is I got some serious
pressure in the engine right now.
Oil is pouring out
the dipstick.
This is not good.
Damn it.
We're over 550 miles
from Dutch harbor
With freezing spray
and 30 foot seas.
Right now, we're pretty much
on our own.
All right, so what do
we got downstairs?
I noticed a bunch of
oil spewing out of the dipstick
And the dipstick
dancing up and down.
Okay.
Now we've got the fuel cap off
To alleviate some pressure, so
we don't just lose a bunch of oil on it.
Yeah.
Well, let's put it this way.
We're adrift until we figure
out what this problem is.
- Yes.
- All right, rog.
It's a problem with having
a single screw boat.
Like they say,
if something goes wrong,
You're single and screwed.
400 miles southeast...
Let the games begin.
On the Cornelia Marie.
First pot coming up
on our lower set.
We're the only boat
down here...
We're finding some crab.
I would like to see like just a...
Like a 150 would be nice, you know.
Any luck maybe we'll pull
a rabbit out of a hat
And get this done.
Survey says...
On the saga.
As far as first time
on the rail
Actually doing the full job
of a rail person,
That was good.
I think if it wouldn't
have been sprung upon me,
I might have enjoyed it.
- Maybe I don't know.
- It was Hard.
Joe makes it look
Easy.
Adding shyanne,
you're out there amazing.
Starting off f
and finish with, like, a d.
Mac. Let's hear
the voice of reason.
- Yeah.
- What do you say there, chief?
I think she bit off more
and she could chew.
Rip in the Patricia Lee
Used the golden king
to stay atop the podium
While Jake in the saga used a
greenhorn to surge from behind.
Survey says...
Wah-wah-wah.
Not gonna be 150.
Not enough.
Hey, you know what?
We got one.
It's a start.
First crab of the season.
First crab of the season
in the boat.
Taylor speaking...
We had a plan. Plan failed.
We'll just start knocking
it up the northwest.
We'll find it at some point
in time.
We got faith.
Onward.
400 miles northwest...
I think we just nee
to call the mechanic.
Hey, norm, good to
hear your voice right now.
There's definitely a lot of
pressure inside of my oil can right now.
I had oil spewing out
of my dipstick.
Okay.
When you opened up
the fill cap,
You didn't have any come spewing
out of that, or just a big puff of air?
Just a big puff of
air. No oil out of the flow count
You may have
just diagnosed our problem.
Thanks a lot. Bye.
God I hope
it's just ice
Plugging out at the exhaust.
Cody, grab something
to chip ice with.
Copy.
Guaranteed,
that's our problem.
The suspected
culprit, an iced up vent,
Causing back pressure
that if left unchecked,
Could break the exhaust seal
and crack the inner working
Of the $300,000 main engine
Like really
lot of ice.
Still plugged up, Cody.
Oh, it's still coming out.
Cody speaking...
I hope
that's what it is.
We'll put her in gear,
see what happens.
Roger, copy.
Here we go!
All right.
I got one thumbs up.
I'm going to give him
a little more juice here.
Right on.
All right.
This has just been a really
difficult opilio winter season.
We need to get this trip
finished up.
670 miles southeast...
On the saga.
There we go!
This is the end of COD season.
Yeah.
Yeah. That's a good pot.
That is a really good pot.
85.
That's 850 pounds.
Stack them on.
Hell yeah.
Mason speaking
Got to use your judgment
at the rail, too.
If you see a wave
that you don't like.
Nice. She's getting
the hang out of it.
There we go, shyanne!
Whoo!
Yeah, baby.
She really looks like
she's a natural at it.
All right.
She's a tough cookie.
This is...
It's actually quite emotional.
That's looking good.
She's a Crabber.
Whoo!
25. I like that.
Yeah, yeah.
Holy moly,
that's all she wrote, folks.
There it is. Last one.
Good job, man.
Really good job.
We gotta get to town.
Friends, now let's pop open
another tank, right?
Yes, ooh!
Yeah, let's go to third tank,
guys. Right on.
- Whoo-hoo!
- That's what we want.
So, now we started
to having bigger dreams.
Every fish counts.
You don't last
the dollar bill's out.
After a grueling COD derby,
Captain Sean dwyer banks
nearly a quarter million pounds.
More than I expected.
So, beat our number
and then some.
With $8,000 going
to each full shared deck hand.
Move on to opies.
And up
to the great white north.
Are you ready to break
some ice there, junior?
Last cut, but coming aboard.
Oh, yeah.
Captain wild bil
brings home 360,000 pounds
And 12,000 bucks
for each crewman,
All with less
than two weeks work.
We're done.
Last pot,
shyanne, that was the last one.
And on the saga,
captain Jake nets 262,000 pounds
And 130 grand.
Tank is stuffed. We did it.
Stuffed?
Yes. We still have some
on the table and nowhere to put it.
Paying out $10,00
to each full share crewmen.
Even the newly minted
crabbing couple.
Mason speaking
That is phenomenal.
We just left town
a little bit ago,
Where we'd be a couple of days
out here, so.
How bad is the ice up there
The ice is eight miles
from me, northeast of me.
John speaking...
I don't even know
if we can get there physically
Before the ice covers it up.
John speaking...
You guys be careful.
All right. Bye.
Nothing's
Easy, is it?
Such depressing information,
Where we wanted to fish is
going to be covered with ice.
And we got nothing
but northeasterly blows
For the next seven
or eight days.
We're not gonna stop. We're
gonna fish right through this thing.
We're gonna be
in a world of hurt.
130 miles north
of Dutch harbor...
On the Cornelia Marie.
Woah!
That was a wild one.
Ooh, ho, ho.
Casey speaking...
Ooh, ho, ho.
Holy
No.
We're the last boat
out of the harbor,
Gonna fish for opies.
We had a really good
paradise trip.
Right now, we're just picking
up the rest of our gear.
Weather is starting to really
take a turn for the worst right now.
To kick off
their opilio crab season,
Captains Josh Harris
and Casey McManus
Rest 40 pots from the deep
s to red on the edge o f the grounds.
There to greet them,
a massive low pressure syste
1,000 miles wide,
moving west off the mainland
Dubbed the aleutian low now
on track to pull the arctic ice pack
50 miles farther south.
Oh, ho ho!
Waves are getting big.
- Yeah.
- Where to go?
I lost it.
These swells are too big.
Aww, Damn it.
Thing. Stay.
Nice shot.
Wait for that roll to go by.
There's white water
everywhere.
It's scary to have Taylor
up there Around now.
In case one breaks
over the bow.
They just Keep coming.
Back up.
Ooh!
Holy
Wow.
Where's Taylor?
- Right there in front.
- Okay.
Everybody all right
down there?
Yep. We're all good.
Casey speaking on radio...
You don't see those
coming through too often?
Yeah.
Go to college.
Don't come out here.
We need to get these pots on.
This set has to work out.
We have to find
some sort of life to work o
Or we're backwards.
120 miles southeast
along the edge of the aleutian low.
Aboard the saga.
Sean, you there?
Yeah. So did you
hear the news about the closure?
Jake speaking...
Yeah. Yeah. Sunday.
Yeah. I... I told the plant that I
started putting fish on at noon today.
When are you going
to get out of here?
I think I'm just gonna
stick it out today, tomorrow.
And then stack them up on
Saturday and then bail out.
Okay. Later, Sean.
Sean speaking on radio...
Basically what I'm
going to do right now is prospect.
I'm going to go real shallow,
real deep,
And I'm just going to try
to look for the motherlode.
It's the only way
I can catch up now.
Captain Jake
Anderson drops test pots
From 50 to 78 fathoms.
1.2 miles.
Hits and he'll
invest his full of 100 pot load.
Miss and his COD season
and bottom line will flounde
Mac speaking...
Together, yeah.
Mac speaking...
Shyanne speaking...
I come down one time,
It was really early
in the morning
And I see Mason and shyanne
cuddling and to me,
I see my microwave getting
close to my stove top oven.
I see two pieces of equipment.
It doesn't make any sense
to me.
I was very confused.
While hunting COD
the skipper's niece
Also caught the Bering sea'
unlikeliest catch,
Feelings for engineer
and Beau Mason twyman.
But I accepted it.
Mason's a good guy.
He's my right-hand man.
So, if there was probably
anybody I'd want her to be with,
It'd probably be Mason.
Mac speaking
Shyanne speaking...
Mac speaking
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Mac speaking
Mason speaking...
All right, everybody
on your toes out there.
We're going to start dumping.
All right. Okay.
Deckhand 1 speaking...
Goin' over,
hey, watch your feet.
Connect.
Going over.
So far behind right now.
Here we go!
Whoo-ho!
I'm starting to feel the heat
coming from the kitchen.
We can burn through today
without any problems,
We might be able to catch up.
Goin' over.
Goin' over. Goin' over.
Throw it, Mac.
Jake! Help!
Jake! Jake!
Deckhand 2 speaking...
- Shyanne speaking...
- Mason speaking...
Oh, man.
Just blew a hose
in the extension.
You can just leave it
in the rack for now.
Jake speaking...
I'll do it.
Facing a ruptured
hydraulic line on the crane,
Jake's only option
is a hands-on replacement.
I have to send a guy up 30
feet in the air to change a hose.
All it's gonna take
is for Mason to fall,
And his life is over.
Turns out the ma with
the brass to date the captain's niece
Is the same one
courageous enough
To attempt the fix
in 20 foot seas.
All right,
I'm moving down.
Shyanne, you need
to man that tag line.
It's not Going in.
Wrap that tie around
the rail a couple of times.
Take the slack out of it and
then hold it tight in your hand.
It ain't going to be pretty
what happens to his face.
Shyanne speaking...
There you go!
There you go.
Basically, I have
his life in my hands, I suppose.
Not a good feeling.
Deckhand 2 speaking...
Mason speaking
Hang on, Mason.
Hey, hey, hey!
Hang on!
On the sa.
Hang on, Mason.
Hey, hey, hey.
Hang on.
Heads up. Heads up.
Woah.
You okay?
Be careful, all right.
Shyanne, keep tension
on that line.
Shyanne speaking...
Deckhand 2 speaking
If I can't get that crane
working, I'm not going anywhere.
Watch your foot.
Mason speaking
Okay, shyann
Mason speaking
Oh, god!
Mason's done with the repair.
You good to go?
It's done, go ahead.
Looks pretty good.
The old hose here,
This is where it busted
right here.
Jake speaking...
Running out of time.
Every second counts.
Let's go, let's go.
Goin' over.
Just one stressful
event after another.
370 miles southwest...
On the southern edge
of the aleutian low.
Aboard the Patricia Lee.
We're south
of amutka bank.
It's the right depth,
right area.
Mother nature.
You never know
about her, though.
I'm seeing two and a
half knots of current 2.3.
But this big aleutian low
is an ass-kicker.
If this has crab
like I think it does,
I think we got it.
48 hours
before an offload,
Captain rip Carlton
battles storm-fueled tides
For his final long line stri
of 50 pots,
His 200,000 pound
target in sight.
Here we go.
Just give us a nice string.
That's not asking too much.
Ooh-hoo.
Hell, yeah!
Oh, we are in frickin' money.
Deckhand 1 speaking...
Damn it. That's good.
Come on, baby.
Here it is, come on.
Tangled. Damn it.
You got to turn
that top.
We're not gonna get it
all the way to the anchor.
Chain on the tangle.
Can't get
anything on that anchor.
Chain
on the tangle right now.
No, no, no. Damn it.
On the crane.
We're putting it on the crane.
With two buoy
lines tangled,
The crew attempts to cut out the
snarl without severing the long li
That connects them
to the remaining 47 pots
Still soaking
on the ocean floor.
Okay.
Cut the bridle.
No, no, no, the bridle.
Yes.
This has taken way too long.
Down we go.
That's we wanted.
Get the
Out of the way.
You know, the current's
pushing me back over the line.
Woah!
It's coming tight, boys.
Rip speaking...
Deckhand 1 speaking...
Guys were Around
so long.
Nothing went the way
it should have.
That's beyond disappointing.
I don't even know,
if we'll find the other end
It's deeper.
We've got to haul it
backwards against the curren
Everything just got
a thousand times harder.
280 miles away..
On the Cornelia Marie.
Dear lord, please
look over us, protect us.
Please make sure our pots are
bountiful and our fuel burn is low.
Amen. Let's do it.
Hey, it's sinners like us, that
keep Jesus in business, okay?
35 miles below the
southernmost boat in the fleet.
The risk
is setting down here
Is we're basically starting where
the survey couldn't really survey.
Captains Josh
and Casey prepared to set
The first string
of their opilio season.
Hail Mary in this one.
Oh, boy.
On uncharted grounds.
And 390 miles northwest.
Ooh!
On the wiza.
I'm less than
a mile and a half
From the Russian border,
right here.
We got crab and zeros.
The crab aren't going
any deeper,
So I'm going
to get a little shallower.
Heading back to the east.
Right, tylor.
Need to get
this gear in the water.
Goin' over.
I'm under a time crunch.
36 hours after defending
the us borde from Russian trawlers,
Captain Keith colburn
defends against empty pots,
Tracking the opilio school
13 miles east.
I got a stuffed tank
one and two.
On the hunt for a
sorely needed 50,000 pounds.
The ice gives me
maybe two days with any luck,
You start putting 10,000 crabs
strings on this boat
And the crab
fill those tanks fast.
And that's what we need
right now.
Heads up, heads up,
heads up, coming at you.
Hold on.
It's gonna be kind of
a dinghy set. I'm sorry.
Casey speaking on radio...
Okay?
Goin' over.
Keith on radio...
Watch out.
Deckhand 2 speaking...
Uh-oh. Uh-oh.
Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Uh-oh.
Watch out. Watch out!
Keith speaking on radio
Here comes a big one.
Keith speaking on radio...
Oh
Here it comes a big one.
Oh
Woah! Watch,
watch out, watch out.
- Ooh.
- Wow.
Yeah. There goes the stack.
You doing good? You good?
Everybody good?
Deckhand 1 speaking
All right.
You know,
life is pretty fast.
You just gonna drop
this stuff.
Put more weight on the boat.
Boat sit slower, crew gets wetter.
Bring on the Popsicle.
When is this Weather
going to give us a break, man?
I'm going to be a happy guy
w hen we get this gear o ff the boat.
650 miles southeast...
Aboard the Patricia Lee.
Damn it.
It should be right here.
We're at the other end
looking for our gear right now.
We don't get this, we could
be out of business for all day.
No production.
With one end
of the long lines severed..
Rip speaking on radio
Captain rip arriv at
the only accessible end of his gear.
That's our starting lineup
up there right now.
Okay, I'm gonna turn on
the hydraulics.
Giving him one last
shot at recovering his final string,
Before turning his bow toward
town for an offload in 45 hours.
We're gonna get this thing up
and we're gonna haul it
If it's the last thing I do
Kris speaking...
Deckhand 1 speaking...
Come on. Please give it to us.
Deckhand 1 speaking...
And there's crab.
Deckhand 1 speaking...
We're gonna get it.
No, no, no, no.
No, no, no, no.
Kris speaking...
Oh, man. We're hung up.
Well, we are
Right now.
Lots of sharp
Ridge lines I'm going over,
Lots of places
to park the line.
I'm going to try to pop it
off the bottom.
Kris speaking...
Out of thecoiler. Our of the coiler.
With his strings
snagged on the rocky ocean floor,
The skipper slacks the line
g ambling a jolt f rom his hydraulic block,
Can free the rope
from the terrain below.
Rip speaking on radio...
Go!
There we go. It'll come now.
Yeah. Come on out,
fish golden crab. It's easy.
- Whoo!
- Oh, yeah!
How many?
Rip speaking on radio
We're getting it.
Yeah!
Kris speaking...
Nice. Nice.
I like it.
We need some crabs.
We're just gonna keep haulin
If I don't get
this gear hauled,
We're going
to run out of time.
380 miles nor the a
in the southern tendrils
Of the aleutian low...
Jake speaking...
On the saga.
There you go.
This derby fishing.
They got another
24 hours to go.
I'm looking for a home, man.
I started in the deep
And then went
into the shallows.
I'm looking for anywhere
from 500 to 700 pounds per pot.
Wah-wah-wah.
Oh It's nothing.
Three fish.
Well,
we're getting fed.
But I mean, we're not getting
a huge amount of fish.
So, yeah. I don't know.
What is this?
That won't get us anywhere
but heartbroken.
Nothing.
Joe speaking...
But we gotta pick up
and reset.
We're not looking so hot.
This Sucks.
I was hopeful, but honestly,
I think, this is too deep.
Deckhand speaking...
You okay, Joe?
Aboard the saga.
You okay, Joe?
Deckhand speaking...
Deckhand speaking...
Joe speaking...
What happened?
Joe speaking...
That's all my fingers
closed tight.
That's as far
as I can close it in.
Hey, why don't you go in
And you think you can make us something
to eat and rest that hand of yours?
Sorry, Joe.
Shyanne, you're on the rail.
You're going to have to help her.
Get ready.
Felt like a good time
to throw her at the rail.
Joe doesn't like
being off deck.
It doesn't have to be
a big injury for you to die
Or get something amputated
in the Bering sea.
Okay. Here we go.
Oh my God.
Oh my god!
- Come on, get the pot.
- You're stepping on your line.
My niece is going to get tough
whether she likes it or not.
Deckhand 1 speaking...
Hey, hey, hey.
No, no, no, no.
None of that
Boyfriend.
She don't get no Pas
All right. She got it.
Oh, my god! She's so mad.
That looks easy from
the other perspective, doesn't it?
Let's see what we get.
Something.
There's fish in there.
Chuck it hard.
Nice throw.
Do it shyanne, come on. Nice.
Look at your feet.
Oh, yeah.
Dude.
It's not a bad pot.
It's starting to get better
as I get shallower.
Hope you have fun throwing
those shots on top of the pot.
Get your shot ready.
All right.
That's the hard way.
I'll show you the technique.
Now watch? You can go
like this. Same thing.
Just throw it and push it.
Okay? Throw it, push.
Way easier than
with your arm. Trust me.
Don't Yourself up.
I give it a c-minus,
but you did better.
She's doing all right for doing
the whole thing for her first time.
But you know,
it's... It's overwhelming.
So, she's getting
a little irritated
Like every greenhorn does.
Ooh!
She hated that.
She hates me right now.
Bad.
Yeah. Not very fun.
It's looks cool when
Joe does it, but yeah.
I don't like that
one Bit.
I got a lot of catchi
up to do.
Try to set in shallower water,
which was looking good.
We'll get our heads
on straight.
680 miles
to the north...
Literally going to be
charging straight into it.
Aboard the wiza.
Copy that.
It's gonna be a
Surprise for all of you.
Here it comes.
We went further deep
Miserable weather,
horrible icing.
Clock is ticking.
Pushing up
the Russian line,
Captain Keith tracks the
school to eastern shallows.
It just takes foreve
to fill those tanks.
Eager to make
bare tanks brim.
All right. Let's get
something out of this sucker.
Go baby. Come on.
Fire up the line.
Fire up the line.
Give us a load!
Give us a load!
Yeah.
Yeah, baby. They're coming.
They're coming, cap.
Yeah, boys.
You're getting excited, man.
I love
this mother Russia crab.
Paul speaking...
Hey, pal, you know,
let's get dialed in on this.
Roger.
Keith speaking...
- Yeah.
- Alright, ready the next one.
Heads up and throw.
Crazy weather right now.
They call it
snow crab for a reason.
Setting this gear ba
on these numbers.
We've got a shot
at filling the boat.
What the
Is that all about?
What's going on?
All I know is I got some serious
pressure in the engine right now.
Oil is pouring out
the dipstick.
This is not good.
Damn it.
We're over 550 miles
from Dutch harbor
With freezing spray
and 30 foot seas.
Right now, we're pretty much
on our own.
All right, so what do
we got downstairs?
I noticed a bunch of
oil spewing out of the dipstick
And the dipstick
dancing up and down.
Okay.
Now we've got the fuel cap off
To alleviate some pressure, so
we don't just lose a bunch of oil on it.
Yeah.
Well, let's put it this way.
We're adrift until we figure
out what this problem is.
- Yes.
- All right, rog.
It's a problem with having
a single screw boat.
Like they say,
if something goes wrong,
You're single and screwed.
400 miles southeast...
Let the games begin.
On the Cornelia Marie.
First pot coming up
on our lower set.
We're the only boat
down here...
We're finding some crab.
I would like to see like just a...
Like a 150 would be nice, you know.
Any luck maybe we'll pull
a rabbit out of a hat
And get this done.
Survey says...
On the saga.
As far as first time
on the rail
Actually doing the full job
of a rail person,
That was good.
I think if it wouldn't
have been sprung upon me,
I might have enjoyed it.
- Maybe I don't know.
- It was Hard.
Joe makes it look
Easy.
Adding shyanne,
you're out there amazing.
Starting off f
and finish with, like, a d.
Mac. Let's hear
the voice of reason.
- Yeah.
- What do you say there, chief?
I think she bit off more
and she could chew.
Rip in the Patricia Lee
Used the golden king
to stay atop the podium
While Jake in the saga used a
greenhorn to surge from behind.
Survey says...
Wah-wah-wah.
Not gonna be 150.
Not enough.
Hey, you know what?
We got one.
It's a start.
First crab of the season.
First crab of the season
in the boat.
Taylor speaking...
We had a plan. Plan failed.
We'll just start knocking
it up the northwest.
We'll find it at some point
in time.
We got faith.
Onward.
400 miles northwest...
I think we just nee
to call the mechanic.
Hey, norm, good to
hear your voice right now.
There's definitely a lot of
pressure inside of my oil can right now.
I had oil spewing out
of my dipstick.
Okay.
When you opened up
the fill cap,
You didn't have any come spewing
out of that, or just a big puff of air?
Just a big puff of
air. No oil out of the flow count
You may have
just diagnosed our problem.
Thanks a lot. Bye.
God I hope
it's just ice
Plugging out at the exhaust.
Cody, grab something
to chip ice with.
Copy.
Guaranteed,
that's our problem.
The suspected
culprit, an iced up vent,
Causing back pressure
that if left unchecked,
Could break the exhaust seal
and crack the inner working
Of the $300,000 main engine
Like really
lot of ice.
Still plugged up, Cody.
Oh, it's still coming out.
Cody speaking...
I hope
that's what it is.
We'll put her in gear,
see what happens.
Roger, copy.
Here we go!
All right.
I got one thumbs up.
I'm going to give him
a little more juice here.
Right on.
All right.
This has just been a really
difficult opilio winter season.
We need to get this trip
finished up.
670 miles southeast...
On the saga.
There we go!
This is the end of COD season.
Yeah.
Yeah. That's a good pot.
That is a really good pot.
85.
That's 850 pounds.
Stack them on.
Hell yeah.
Mason speaking
Got to use your judgment
at the rail, too.
If you see a wave
that you don't like.
Nice. She's getting
the hang out of it.
There we go, shyanne!
Whoo!
Yeah, baby.
She really looks like
she's a natural at it.
All right.
She's a tough cookie.
This is...
It's actually quite emotional.
That's looking good.
She's a Crabber.
Whoo!
25. I like that.
Yeah, yeah.
Holy moly,
that's all she wrote, folks.
There it is. Last one.
Good job, man.
Really good job.
We gotta get to town.
Friends, now let's pop open
another tank, right?
Yes, ooh!
Yeah, let's go to third tank,
guys. Right on.
- Whoo-hoo!
- That's what we want.
So, now we started
to having bigger dreams.
Every fish counts.
You don't last
the dollar bill's out.
After a grueling COD derby,
Captain Sean dwyer banks
nearly a quarter million pounds.
More than I expected.
So, beat our number
and then some.
With $8,000 going
to each full shared deck hand.
Move on to opies.
And up
to the great white north.
Are you ready to break
some ice there, junior?
Last cut, but coming aboard.
Oh, yeah.
Captain wild bil
brings home 360,000 pounds
And 12,000 bucks
for each crewman,
All with less
than two weeks work.
We're done.
Last pot,
shyanne, that was the last one.
And on the saga,
captain Jake nets 262,000 pounds
And 130 grand.
Tank is stuffed. We did it.
Stuffed?
Yes. We still have some
on the table and nowhere to put it.
Paying out $10,00
to each full share crewmen.
Even the newly minted
crabbing couple.
Mason speaking
That is phenomenal.
