Deadliest Catch	comment	Deadliest Catch is a long-running (18 seasons and counting) Docu Soap Reality TV show on The Discovery Channel that follows crews of fishermen during their two seasons on the rough Bering Sea seeking a valuable commodity — the enormous red king crab around October, and the opilio or snow crab around January. It is repeatedly stated that this is the "deadliest job in the world", and tragedy does occur, such as the sinking of other ships, as well as serious injuries and near-fatal accidents on the featured boats. The opilio season is particularly dangerous due to weather concerns. The show debuted in April 2005 and is still ongoing, with season 19 having premiered on April 19, 2023. Starting with season 17, new episodes air first on the Discovery+ streaming service before airing on Discovery Channel a week later (though the premieres of Seasons 18 and 19 were simulcast on both platforms).The future of crab fishing in Alaska is in serious doubt; Alaska closed down all red king, blue king, and opilio seasons statewide for 2022–23, with red king fishing also having been shut down in 2021–22. The Bering Sea red crab fishery reopened for 2023–24, though at much lower levels than in the past; opilio fishing in the region remains closed. The series is plugging away nonetheless.

Deadliest Catch / int_112f8ee1	comment	Look Behind You: Season 11 opened with the Hillstrands lighting up thousands of dollars worth of fireworks (safely, on land) to the delight of "practically the entire population of Unalaska" which was just a distraction so Sig, Edgar, and Jake Anderson could move the Cape Caution as a prank so Wild Bill would think he'd gone senile.

Deadliest Catch / int_11630eaa	comment	The Gambling Addict: Fishing is referred to as a dangerous addiction by the fishermen themselves, who are very aware of problems such a hazardous job (and subsequent rush of money, if you're good at it) can cause. Additionally: "It's called 'fishing', not catching." Phil seemed to be going through withdrawal symptoms in a story where the fishermen were on strike and he was constantly pacing at meetings and muttering "We have to get out there, we have to get out there!"

Deadliest Catch / int_15b2cab3	comment	Tempting Fate: Anyone who didn't run from the ice in Season 8. When almost everyone else stayed home, Jr. went back out and got big numbers until he moved away from the hotspot and Keith decided to go back out after Monte throws dice ("Any combination of fives is good." — gets pair of fives — "Well, that's it!") He gets huge, huge numbers. After Travis fell off the boat at the start of opie season, Andy declared that "nothing bad can happen now!" Cue poor fishing and Eddie Uwekoolani Sr. and Jr. getting nailed by falling ice. On the Northwestern: "If we keep hauling numbers like this we'll sink the ship!" Edgar: "Something doesn't feel right..." If he didn't think to look inside one of the tanks (which was about to be hidden by stacked pots) the boat could've toppled over just like the Hansens' dad's first boat. Wild Bill's season 10 greenhorn, a fisherman from Louisiana, had a tradition where everyone kisses a quarter which was then tossed overboard to "pay the god of the ocean" (or possibly "the boatman", as in the River Styx) for a safe trip. Everyone kissed the quarter — except Bill, who said that while he respected the guy's beliefs he didn't care for people who took superstitions that seriously on his boat. And so, after being delayed a week due to the government shutdown, the Cape Caution was ready to leave... and the engine didn't start. Bill kissed the quarter, the engine started, and they were able to start fishing (though the greenhorn didn't hold up too well). See also: Do Not Taunt Cthulhu above.

Deadliest Catch / int_1779f10e	comment	"Well Done, Son" Guy: Captain Phil with his sons, Jake and Josh; Captain Jonathan with his son, Scotty; the captains in general to the greenhorns. Sig outright said he considers Jake Anderson as his son. Subverted in Season 6 King Crab with Wild Bill's son, Zack Larson. It got better as Zack Larson was on the Kodiak for Season 7 and is still under him on the Cape Caution in season 11 as the ship's engineer. Season 8 revealed that Bill didn't think he was pulling his weight, though Zack's tweets seemed to indicate he didn't see anything unusual about it (or at least didn't consider it to be "yelling") Wild Bill: "Zack's a great kid, he just has no balls". Considering Wild Bill's dad was a Marine drill sergeant who was so scary that young Bill would leave as soon as he got home, Bill's concern for his son — who he didn't even want to become a crabber — is positively cuddly. The other captains chime in that their dads were the same (with the addition that their dads would tell everyone but their kids how proud they were of them).

Deadliest Catch / int_1bc2e445	comment	End of an Age: Season 1 ended on an awfully bittersweet note. On the one hand two of the ships hit records; on the other hand six had died, and it was the final season for derby-style fishing. While safer, the quota system would make it harder for the crews to make money, as well putting a lot of crews out of work. This change caused a number of tough captains to shed Manly Tears. Seasons six and seven, with the death of Phil and the Cornelia Marie's crew disbanding after a disaster of a season respectively.

The Hillstrands love fire: They've shot rockets at each other, fired off flares in memory of their father, sent up about a dozen flying lanterns just to screw with Sig, and shot off a semi-automatic rifle at Phil's burial at sea. They may have toned things down after a crewmate nearly lost a hand to a mortar (and were mum on whether they had ever told someone to hold on to one for fun). The Season 11 premier revealed they have their own fireworks brand and set of thousands of dollars worth as a distraction for a prank.

Deadliest Catch / int_1c445e86	comment	Combined with Poor Communication Kills (not literally, thankfully): In season 9 a producer/cameraman on the Cape Caution discovered blood in his stool and kept it from Wild Bill. Wild Bill mistook the cameraguy's anxiety for being uninterested and the misunderstandings only got worse when he (the cameraguy) was hours late returning to the boat — Bill thought he was messing around at the bar; while the guy did go to the bar it only to gather enough courage to tell Bill he would have to leave because he found out he had cancer. The camera guy only got to the "leaving early" part and Bill just exploded at him, the guy exploded back, and it was a horrible situation all around (they were able to have a camera-free talk and made up).

Deadliest Catch / int_20952a1	comment	Product Displacement: With varying degrees of success and possibly to the point of a Running Gag: In one scene, Josh Harris was wearing a hat with the Hurley logo covered with gaffer's tape — poorly: it barely covered the middle of the logo; the next scene had him shot from the other side, and word Hurley (with tiny version of the logo) is uncovered. Currently, any boardsports logos are just ignored to the point where as of 2011 the Cornelia Marie's sorting table was coated with DVS Shoes logos and one crewmember showed up wearing an unblurred Hurley jacket. Two hilarious examples occurred on the last two shows in 2011: When Scott Hillstrand was looking at photos of his son they blurred out the Batman logo despite it being really obvious who the kid was dressed as (it was Halloween); a scene in one boat's kitchen had a cereal box directly behind someone's head, as if to highlight how poorly the box was taped over (imagine "Cap'N Crunch" but with two lines).

They break out pistols, AK-47's, and AR-15 rifles and fire until they run out of ammo! When John got annoyed over all the ice in the Bering Sea he stormed out of the wheelhouse, grabbed a shotgun, walked out on deck and started shooting at the ice and yelling "And don't come back!" No coilers were harmed this time, but it scared the crew. Subverted with the Northwestern. In a Season 9 episode, when the Coast Guard boarded the ship for a routine inspection, they asked Sig if there were any guns on board the ship: Season 10 featured some improvised skeet shooting between Edgar and Norman Hansen. Norman won handily. Season nine may have tested the limits of the crews' dakka-love: A flaming hook with four (expired) flares covered the Northwestern in choking red smoke, and after a crewman on the Time Bandit got his wrist shattered in two places injured by an exploding mortar Andy declared "that's it, no more fireworks".

Deadliest Catch / int_3297cfbb	comment	Evolving Credits: The show's credits change to reflect the boats that are featured most prominently. The credits for the sixth season featured the Cornelia Marie's crew first, and also featured a group shot of the captains which zooms in on Phil's eye as a scene transition. The credits for the seventh and eighth season feature an image of Phil from behind a window, almost like an apparition. Likely intentional, reflecting his current status; the lyric playing over this is "where the faces are so cold", and the image fades to the faces of his sons Josh and Jake. Season 11's credits are a much shorter snippet of the song that show scenes on the deck with an old shot of the Hillstrands laughing in the wheelhouse as the only recognition of the captains.

Turns out it was in fact a pulmonary embolism that Phil was lucky to have survived; he could have dropped dead right then and there and no one would have known. Combined with Poor Communication Kills (not literally, thankfully): In season 9 a producer/cameraman on the Cape Caution discovered blood in his stool and kept it from Wild Bill. Wild Bill mistook the cameraguy's anxiety for being uninterested and the misunderstandings only got worse when he (the cameraguy) was hours late returning to the boat — Bill thought he was messing around at the bar; while the guy did go to the bar it only to gather enough courage to tell Bill he would have to leave because he found out he had cancer. The camera guy only got to the "leaving early" part and Bill just exploded at him, the guy exploded back, and it was a horrible situation all around (they were able to have a camera-free talk and made up).

Jake ended up leaving the Northwestern to take a job as apprentice captain on the Kiska Sea, an entirely different boat with an entirely different way of doing things, and as might be expected, he struggled to keep up. Captain Mike Wilson gave him some slack, but the rest of the crew rode his ass 24/7. Jake admitted in the Season 10 premiere that any pride he had in himself was beaten out of him by his experiences on the Kiska Sea. And then, when Edgar started talking to the camera about Jake's return to the Northwestern, it was clear that a lot of Edgar's respect for Jake was gone due to the way his last stint aboard the Northwestern ended. Sig Hanson instructed Edgar and the rest of the Northwestern crew to make his daughter Mandy's life hell out on deck, in the hopes that she will tire of crab fishing and not want to return.

Dane on the Wizard in season 9, when he refuses to get a mandatory haircut. Jake Anderson got another round of this when he briefly worked on the Kiska Sea as a trainee captain. The crew felt he wasn't up to their standards of quickness, and proceeded to relentlessly hound him at every opportunity. Greenhorn Kelly on the Cape Caution, after it was revealed that he was wanted for a weapons charge and was facing jail time; the crew put stripes and a prisoner number on his rain gear. As Captain Wild Bill pointed out, they got the stripes wrong—stereotypical prisoner stripes are horizontal; he described the vertical stripes as looking like a "pimp suit". Elliot Neese amongst the captains. His youthfulness makes it difficult for him to socialize with them in the first place and his ongoing personal problems and laziness provides fodder for a lot their jokes about him. His hitting rock bottom yet again in Season 11 caused all the other captains to outright state that Elliot's done as a crab boat captain because his behavior makes it impossible for anyone to trust him with their lives. His ownership share of the Saga is officially bought out by his partners and they hire Jake Anderson to be the full-time captain. Josh Harris is increasingly being marginalized by the other captains, as they believe he lacks the work ethic to take command of the Cornelia Marie on his own. Adding to the scorn is the fact that many people hold Phil Harris is high regard and feel that Josh isn't doing enough to honor his father's legacy. Not helping matters is the fact that people tend to consider Casey to be truly in charge of the Cornelia and turn to him first rather than Josh.

Two men were found floating in the water, and all attempts to resuscitate them failed.

Season 9 piled downer ending on top of downer ending. Between Junior committing betrayal after betrayal on his fellow captains and Jake's confrontation with Edgar effectively bringing an end to his time on the Northwestern, it was one major bad ending after another. Not to mention a deckhand on one of the other boats in the fleet (that isn't covered on the show) got his fingers caught in the bait chopper and possibly lost his index and middle fingers from the first joint onward.

Deadliest Catch / int_534bc834	comment	Escalating War: Prank the Hillstrands at your own peril; they will get you back. Captain Sig and the Northwestern tried this after the Hillstrands freaked out Sig by launching 40 Chinese lanterns from upwind. At the end of opilio season, Sig and crew intercepted the Time Bandit on the way back home and launched a massive cache of fireworks at them. Of course, the Time Bandit had their own supply of fireworks aboard, so they returned fire. Much fun was had by all. The crew of the Northwestern declared war on the Time Bandit at the beginning of 2011's king crab season by sneaking aboard the Time Bandit while the crew was asleep and inflating a life raft in the middle of the crew's kitchen/living area. Then Jake Harris threw a bucketful of flour into his brother Josh's face when he came up to the wheelhouse to investigate. Season 11's possible prank war opened with the Hillstrands setting off thousands of dollars worth of fireworks as a distraction for Edgar, Sig, and Jake Anderson (with Zach's instructions) to move the Cape Caution and make Wild Bill think he'd gone senile — instead he got really angry and was on the verge of calling the Coast Guard on the Hillstrands, who happened to be his "neighbors" and the number one suspects of any prank until the Northwesterners revealed themselves. Later on, at the start of opie season, Wild Bill repaid the favor by having his crew chain the Northwestern to the dock so it couldn't get out of the harbor.

Deadliest Catch / int_56b53152	comment	Green Aesop: One season, King Crab fishing suffered immensely because the quota was literally sliced in half, meaning the fishermen would only make half as much money. The reason behind it? It had to be done, because fishing from previous years left the crabs' population extremely depleted. For years before that, blue king crab fishing had been completely banned due to previous overfishing. Only recently has the blue crab population rebounded enough to allow even limited fishing again. A similar thing happened with bairdi crab. In the 2016 season, bairdi fishing was shut down entirely, and the species became illegal to catch, totally devastating the crabbing industry. Again, it was a necessity, as was discovered by environmental authorities that the bairdi population had hit a staggering, all time low. And in October 2021, the state shut down the red king crab fishery for similar reasons. On top of that, the state announced all of its major crab stocks were down.

Deadliest Catch / int_58860689	comment	Injury Tropes: The injury rate for crab fishermen is near 100%, and the variety of injuries sustained is astounding. Excluding gunshot and arrow wounds (so far -- there was bow-fishing in New Orleans), it's rare when someone is not injured (The Wizard's captain getting cracked on the head by the boat, the Cornelia Marie's captain suffering from a pulmonary embolism that should've killed him instantly), nearly injured (multiple near-fatal-misses involving chunks of ice, giant waves, swinging/loose steel crab pots, loops of rope, slippery decks and open hatches ...), or just out-of-his-mind tired. Here's what happened in the season 8 finale: A guy got the tip of his finger sliced off, another got his elbow almost crushed, another got his shin slammed by a pot (if his crew-mate was a little slower his whole body would've been crushed). It wasn't just bodily injuries either: Sig missed the last pot of the season. An early episode in season 11 featured the Coast Guard airlifting someone off a boat due to a major head/neck injury. Later on, one of the Hillstrands' nephews got a hand partially crushed by a pot, which might not have happened if he hadn't been driven way past the point of distraction by Danny Chiu's constant harassment.

As for the other siblings, Sig & Edgar are both very, very responsible (though Edgar was less so in the past), as are Keith & Monte and Johnathan & Andy (with a dash of crazy). The Hansens appear to have not one bit of foolishness amongst them but at one point Sig's own father (who had already turned the Northwestern over to Sig) wanted to fire Edgar because of Edgar's drug abuse; when Edgar wanted to run the boat the last few seasons Edgar's past appeared to be one of the reasons for Sig's hesitation ((paraphrased) "You act like you're Mr. Responsible now...!").

At first, they box like normal, with Josh dodging Jake's punch and delivering a solid blow in return. Then Jake grabs a two-by-four and starts chasing Josh with it... The story was later retold in season six, when Josh admitted his intention to find work on another boat due to him not being able to deal with working alongside his brother any more. This time, Phil added that after getting his butt kicked by his older brother in a fair fight, that it simply convinced Jake to become incredibily passive-aggressive with his brother, just made the sibling rivalry worse.

Deadliest Catch / int_6383a034	comment	The Mutiny: Practically unheard of in a crab fishing boat. The closest thing resembling a mutiny was on the Early Dawn. After a disastrous starting run of strings for the king crab season, a greenhorn, who was the son of the boat's owner and far from a model fisherman, was able to convince his father to lease the boat's remaining quota rather than continue fishing. This was done with the consent of the other deckhands and behind the captain's back. The remaining Cornelia Marie crew were so frustrated with their replacement captain and his bad fishing spots that they seriously discussed leaving and ultimately quit king crab season early. Elliot Neese's crewmembers have had issues with him on every boat he's been on. On the Ramblin' Rose, they didn't like his abrasive leadership, really didn't appreciate it when he basically had them fishing in a hurricane during the 2011 king crab season, didn't appreciate how his personal problems caused him to ditch them for a week (on top of really poor fishing), then wait until they're back at sea to pick on them about their attitude, then abandon his post as they're bringing up good numbers (they do feel sorry for him once they learn about his ex's restraining order). On the Saga, his behavior as he slipped back into drug abuse caused a lot of friction.

Season 8's red crab season occurred during the biggest hurricane to hit Alaska since the 1970s. The subsequent opilio crab season took place under the threat of a rapidly advancing polar ice pack. The latter part of Season 11's king season took place during "Super Typhoon" Nuri and ads featured a giant wave hitting the Northwestern (amazingly Sig forgot that wave until he saw the footage on "The Bait"). Later on in the season, another major storm during opilio season slammed the Saga and could've easily washed the entire crew off the deck.

Deadliest Catch / int_6aab3ca0	comment	Shockingly Expensive Bill: Crab pots cost about $1000 each; it costs roughly half a million dollars for one season's worth of fuel for the Wizard; the Time Bandit used all of season 8's opilio profits to upgrade their hull and engines, and then the entire hydraulics system needed to be replaced a year later for a total of just under a million dollars. There's also the mental and physical toll fishing, not to mention the consequences of being a Disappeared Dad. Lampshaded in the first episode of season 9. Elliot got served for owing $50,000 in child support; later in the same episode he rescued friends from another boat that had run aground afterward and reflected on how screwed financially they're going to be (one had just bought a new house and put their kid in private school). The Time Bandit couldn't offload their crab in time because of delays at the processing center, on top of being out to sea for longer than normal, and wound up with $48,000 worth of dead crab (which can't be used for anything and is just dumped back into the ocean) — no wonder when he got the call about the delay he looked as if a loved one had died. Mike Fourtner's eating habits allegedly added $10,000 to the Time Bandit's food bill. Wild Bill thought his 2015 opilio quota was 600K lbs until he got an email saying that was a mistake and it was actually 470K, which cost him $300,000 in potential earnings (and $10,000 from each crewmember's pay). As a treat to the Cornelia Marie crew (as well as the Wizard crew, which happened to be nearby), Casey decides to stream the Super Bowl from his home TV to his phone and cast it to the TV in the galley. He estimated that it cost around $5,000 in data charges. Season 12 began with most of the boats getting ~$800,000 remodels on top of the cost of food and gas So of course one of the first things that happens is the Saga's new coiler accidentally gets hit by a load of frozen bait, then John risks a $25,000 fine because he accidentally started setting gear early he self-reported and was let off. The Cornelia Marie's- renovations were so expensive that Josh and Casey had to get investors, and if they fail to make their quota they'll be fired. In season 3, the Cornelia Marie had a propeller blade break in two, causing them to sail into town for repairs. Phil buys a new propeller and, after receiving the wrong one from the company, has to have expensive labor costs to get it on. Meanwhile, his sons rack up $1,500 charges on the boat's credit card as they go shopping for new rain gear. Phil was pretty much unintelligible in his anger.

It's not an exaggeration at all, given the complexity of some of the pranks that have been shown on the show. Phil's love of Harley-Davidson motorcycles. When Jake called his dad to brag about his new bike and mentioned it wasn't a Harley, Phil promptly fired him and hung up. When Josh brought his new non-Harley to his dad's, Phil told him to take it off his property. Josh thought he was joking. Phil punched his son square in the chest. They've never brought any non-Harleys onto the property since. When Phil pulled up to one of the After the Catch bars in his latest Harley, he greeted Mike Rowe with "I don't want to talk to you." Mike reasoned he wanted to talk about Harleys, something he had no experience with. Phil confirmed this, then tossed Mike the keys and tells him they'll talk when Mike gets back from his ride. Good luck rituals. The importance that these captains and crews place on seemingly arbitrary good luck charms and rituals is pretty shocking. This is especially true on the Wizard - aside from the anger Dane Tebo stirred up by not joining in Freddy's mohawk ritual, there was an incident in one season where Keith got pissed at his brother for not waking him up from a nap to see a walrus (an animal that Keith considers a good luck charm). One clip in a Season 11 episode showed the Wizard catching a purple opilio, a very rare occurrence which is considered bad luck if it goes in the tank but good luck if it's tossed back into the sea. Keith took some pictures and then chucked it overboard.

Deadliest Catch / int_6bda9a30	comment	Unintentionally Meaningful Name: Kodiak greenhorn Clinton Bush (everyone calls him Clint). Unlike his namesakes, Clint was impeached. Another Kodiak crewman named Rainwater was washed out of a job after he couldn't stop causing drama. There might be a clue to "Sunshine"'s disposition in his last name, Tokman. A deckhand named Fisher was fished from certain doom after his boat sank and Elliot rescued him; he was later tossed overboard (not literally) when he tried to move the crane and broke it, which was the last straw after Elliot's crew complained he was slowing them down.

Deadliest Catch / int_7204fa60	comment	George Jetson Job Security: Averted, despite how close-knit some of the crew can become. In the end, fishing, especially high-dollar fishing like crabbing, is about bringing money home, and if you jeopardize that, you're gone. One episode featured Bill Wichrowski firing one of his crew for being an all-around jackass. This was in the middle of opi season, so said crewmember wouldn't get his full percentage of the season's money, either. Played straight with Lenny, one of the crew members on the Wizard. He mentioned in the "Best of Season 7" special that Captain Keith has fired him twice, and yet he was on the boat all throughout Season 7, so Keith must be changing his mind on those firings. At the end of the 2011 king crab season, Keith fired Brady, the greenhorn who'd hired on at the same time as Chrisnote The one who had to be medevaced off the ship by the Coast Guard., for laziness, constantly whining, and basically being dead weight. Brady left the boat almost as soon as it was at the dock, and Keith had the rest of the crew applaud him as he walked away. Brady later came on After the Catch, and while Keith gave him credit for having the courage to do that, he and Elliot both lambasted Brady, who did little to prove them wrong. Danny Chiu is a seasoned deckhand, and Johnathan Hillstrand was pleased with his energy and drive when they first started opies in season 11, but when his manic weirdness and nastiness toward the other crew members became too toxic to deal with, Johnathan brought the Time Bandit back to Dutch Harbor halfway through the season and fired him on the spot. Russ from the Time Bandit had the dubious honor of being on at least 3 boats in 2009. He started out on the Time Bandit but was let go at the end of their season due to overstaffing. He joined the Wizard for the rest of their Opie season. Come red crab, he had left and signed up on the Kodiak. Wild Bill had to let him go halfway through the season due to their poor season making an extra deckhand's share unprofitable

It was also a perfectly logical decision for Josh to leave when the season was over (for his father's memorial, it was later revealed) and let Casey handle the offloading... but when a severe storm put the boat in peril and Casey had to risk doing a dangerous maneuver the older captains were concerned about Josh's seeming lack of concern. The Hillstrands were especially annoyed, as they had been taught to stay with the boat until everything is done.

Two in a row for the captains of the Cornelia Marie: Casey helped a deckhand drain an infected cyst and got some blood and puss in his eye; the next episode they bore witness to another crewman's swollen testicle (a helpful graphic explained it was actually a hernia). While aboard the Saga, Jonathan Hillstrand suffers an infection that causes his elbow to swell up to the size of a golf ball.

It gets worse when the fishing is rotten, which kills morale and makes everyone even more stir-crazy. The captains often don't help things, either by driving the crews to work in really bad conditions or general jerkishness, and sometimes both. On top of all that, everyone seems to have a stew of ongoing personal problems - absentee fathers, strings of failed marriages, baby momma drama, child custody battles, alcoholism, drug addictions, trouble with the law - all of which often serves as drama fodder.

After the Time Bandit ceased being featured on the show, Neal Hillstrand returned as the Saga's engineer. Later, Jonathan came back to be Jake's on-board adviser/mentor. The Seabrooke returned after a four-year absence, as Captain Scott Campbell Jr. was off dealing with health issues.

Deadliest Catch / int_950bbfa7	comment	Take a Third Option: When the red crab quota was halved in season 8, newer captains Neese and Jr. chose to go after the harder to find but more expensive blue crab; experienced captains Sig, Wild Bill, and the Hillstrands stuck with red crab, and Capt. Keith decided to go after both. It didn't work out the way Keith planned at all. In season 9, Keith (again) and Sig/Edgar both decided to go for both blue and red crab. Season 18, set amid Alaska's shutdown of the red king crab fishery for 2021–22, is all about this trope. For example: As mentioned earlier, the Cornelia Marie shifted to golden king crab, far more difficult to catch because they live in much deeper water. Saga shifted to pursuing black cod, and Wizard to bairdi crab. Sig launched perhaps the most complex plan, deciding to continue pursuing red king crabs half a world away in the waters off his parents' homeland of Norway.Background The Soviet government introduced the red king crab to the Barents Sea, which it shared with Norway, in the 1960s. It became a very damaging invasive species, though an important part of the local economy. Today, the Norwegian and Russian governments have a fisheries agreement that covers the Barents Sea, covering the coastal waters of Norway east of its North Cape, very near the northernmost mainland point. West and south of the North Cape, Norway has no limit whatsoever on red king fishing. In fact, all red kings caught in that area must be kept regardless of sex or size. He teamed up with a local boat owner and they jointly decided to convert an old Norwegian coast guard ship into a fishing vessel capable of pursuing crabs in the open ocean.note Most Norwegian crabbers fish in the country's numerous fjords or in the immediate offshore waters. Sig was an adviser to the new crew he and the owner assembled (and thus effectively co-captain). Wild Bill also went to Norway and teamed with a local boat owner to pursue red kings.

Deadliest Catch / int_958d9c62	type	Short Cuts Make Long Delays
Deadliest Catch / int_958d9c62	comment	Short Cuts Make Long Delays, metaphorical version: The Time Bandit crew tried to de-ice their ship faster by blowing huge chunks off with a large firework. They did manage to get rid of a ton of ice — which landed on their coiling machine, forcing them to resort to "Neanderthal fishing" and have someone looping the rope by hand until it was fixed. A greenhorn on the Cape Caution (Wild Bill's new boat) screws up a good spot by packing a little new bait on top of the old instead of putting all new bait in; crabs don't like old bait and as a result they lose an entire day's worth of fishing. Averted when the Time Bandit takes an actual shortcut through the treacherously narrow and shallow False Pass — at night and with Johnathan's son Scotty at the helm no less. Fisher, who was hired by Elliot after his boat sank and he and his crewmates were rescued by the Saga, decided to save a little time at the offloading area by moving the Saga's crane himself instead of calling Elliot (the controls are in the cabin). Fisher wound up breaking the $10,000 crane and to top things off he initially lied to Elliot about what happened. When the cameras follow the crew to the grocery store to buy food for the galley, the totals are always in the thousands of dollars.

Deadliest Catch / int_9e1e14ea	comment	Ambition Is Evil: Mike Fourtner got touched with this in season 6, getting a big head about the Capts. Hillstrand choosing him as a potential captain; see Took a Level in Jerkass below. Scottie Hillstrand asked if he could lease some of the Time Bandit's quota to use as leverage for a captain's position on another boat. This royally pissed off Andy (he took it as an attempt to force the elder Hillstrands out of the industry) and Scottie was summarily fired. Jonathan later expressed sadness at not being able to work with his son anymore but supported his brother's decision. Scottie briefly worked as a deckhand aboard the Cornelia Marie but hasn't been on the show for several seasonsnote Some reports say that he left the fishing industry entirely and is now building houses. Subverted with Jake Anderson, as his ambition has led to him ultimately winning the respect of Sig. Elliot got hit by this hard: he used to care more about making money than about his girlfriend, and just when he really started making money she dumped him and took his kids with her. The older captains mocked Jr. after he constantly declared his boat "the best" and himself "legendary" (in Revelations he admits he's deeply insecure about his legacy, especially as the son of a legitimately legendary captain). In After the Catch, though, while they still didn't consider Jr. "legendary", they acknowledged that he had become a solid crab fisherman, and had earned some respect for his skill.

One minute Josh was celebrating with the rest of the Time Bandit crew then in next scene he discovered nearly all of the Cornelia Marie's supplies and the Harris' personal items had been stolen from their storage containers. A big one in the first episode of Opilio Season 2013 (Season 9) on the Time Bandit. Within the first ten minutes of the episode, the crew went from celebrating the Seattle Seahawks about to win a playoff game...to one of the deckhands getting a bad injury from a misfired mortar he was going to set off in celebration of the victory, and they get word that the Seahawks lost in the last seconds of the game. More from season 9: At a SXSW concert for the show the captains went from excitedly talking about what kind of music they like to being deadly serious about no music playing on the boats because they can't afford to get distracted; meanwhile on the Cape Caution Wild Bill went from being elated that lovesick greenhorn Mikey Michell has decided to "man up" and finish the season to being extremely disappointed when Mikey's father decided he's done with crabbing and left in the middle of offloading the catch. One minute Josh and the new Cornelia Marie crew were celebrating their full pots, the next minute they discovered they were all females and had to be dumped. Everyone's celebrating the Seattle Seahawks thrashing the Denver Broncos (for non-American football fans imagine what Germany did to Brazil in the 2014 World Cup and times that by about 7) in the Super Bowl except Capt. Andy and and his nephew Scotty because not only did they have to replace a $100,000 part but Andy was furious that Scotty had the gall to ask if he could go on another boat to offset the Time Bandit's remaining quota, which Andy saw as a betrayal.

Meanwhile, the crew of the Ramblin' Rose, who were on the verge of mutiny after Elliot (basically) ditched them to try and reunite with his ex-girlfriend, began celebrating as they hauled up huge pots while Elliot learned his ex-girlfriend had filed a year-long restraining order against him. Again with Elliot and his crew: The season 8 finale showed all the boats cheering that their last strings are full ones, except for the Ramblin' Rose — while their pots are full the only one happy is Elliot; the crew has had it with him and his drama. It appears they were just blowing off steam and six months later Elliot claims they've come back. And again with Junior: The crew were hauling pots full of cod and were celebrating...while Junior started snapping at them to hurry up. He'd just learned that his father was in poor health and likely to pass on shortly, and he wanted to get back to port so he could fly home.

Deadliest Catch / int_a9de8105	comment	Dangerously Loaded Cargo: Due to the extreme conditions the crab boats have to operate in, the crab pods must be meticulously stacked and thoroughly tied down, partly to keep the boat balanced in the water and partly to ensure that a large swell or wave doesn't send poorly stacked/secured pods falling overboard or onto the crew, which would likely be fatal as they are very heavy. Every boat takes this very seriously since it's such an important safety issue, and multiple episodes have shown crew (especially greenhorns) getting reamed by the captain and/or other crewmates for not doing it properly.

Jake Anderson, who stole the older Hillstrand captain's iconic USA jacket, then bragged about it on camera. For that he was hung then burned in effigy. Jake Harris probably thinking he could get away with stealing his dad's painkillers on a boat in the middle of the ocean that's bristling with cameras and microphones. Basically anyone who forgets who is the boss on the boats and that these particular boats are covered with cameras and microphones. Josh, the Seabrooke greenhorn who thought he could do this job after watching some YouTube videos. He didn't even last six hours and was possibly only hired to remind viewers how hard the job is. In a follow-up interview he says he's learned his lesson and wants to try again. The beginning of season 8's opilio season: And continuing the theme: Dane Tebo, a greenhorn on the Wizard who refused to get a mohawk haircut from Freddy Maughtai (a tradition Freddy started on the Cornelia Marie and brought to the Wizard to change the boats' luck during bad fishing), basically disrespecting Freddie and the rest of the Wizard crew. Even after having the reason explained to him, he still refused, even calling it "stupid shit" to Keith's face, which Freddie took as very disrespectful to Keith. He topped himself in the June 25, 2013 episode when he sucker punched Freddie as the deckhands came inside. He claimed Freddie was physically threatening him and that he was throwing the first punch because he wouldn't win in a fair fight; whether or not that was true, only the Wizard crew knows (though at least some of Freddie's behavior, including but not limited to throwing a small octopus at the greenhorn, could be interpreted as threatening or provocative). Whatever the case, Keith all but fired Dane at that point, saying that as soon as they hit the dock, he was gone. The only reason he didn't is because Dane quit before he could be fired (but not before getting in a final moment of idiocy on his way out by calling the Wizard a "stupid boat" and Captain Keith a "jackass" within earshot of Keith). A later show indicated he was doing everything he could to get fired, and it worked! Captain Elliot Neese in the July 2, 2013 episode. He decided not to beat some ice off the Saga before stacking his pots. A few hours later, he got woken up to the news that the ship was listing dangerously to one side because of all the ice on it. His response? Say "it's not that bad" (despite SEVERAL OTHER CREWMEN and COMMON SENSE saying it is) and telling them to just move some stuff in order to shift some weight over to the starboard side to balance things out! Fortunately, the crew disobeyed him and beat the ice off the ship to keep it from sinking. To top it off, Elliot overheard one of the crewmen grousing about his idiocy and said that crewman was going to be fired when the ship got back to town, despite the fact that the grousing was caused by his own stupidity! Roger, a deckhand on the Wizard, in the April 28, 2015 episode. The Wizard's deck was short-handed after Kevin (another deckhand) fell backward into a steel winch and badly injured his back, forcing Captain Keith to keep him off deck so he can recover. Roger reacted to the resulting extra pressure on himself and the other crew members by accusing Kevin of faking his injuries (which was even more ridiculous when you saw that Kevin wanted to go back out on deck and didn't because Keith ordered him not to, and then didn't raise any objections when Keith later said he wanted Kevin on deck to help haul a large amount of gear). The crowning moment of his idiocy comes when Roger went up to the wheelhouse and told Keith that if he didn't fire Kevin, he and his brother Robby would leave once the Wizard hit shore. Keith did not react well to being given a "he goes, or I go" ultimatum, responding "Then you know what, you and Robby might as well pack your bags right now." After a later butt-chewing, things apparently settled down.

Jake Anderson in particular was annoyed that she got to set a string and drive the boat on her first trip, something he hadn't done after years of being a deckhand and however much it cost to get his captain's license. To Mandy's credit she was one of the best-behaved greenhorns, her string was lucky, and she quickly realized she should not be learning to drive the boat in 30 ft. seas. She also wasn't happy with Sig trying to take it easy on her, her rationale being that she won't know if she can really do the job if he keeps her from failing.

Deadliest Catch / int_bb01ad0e	comment	Cool Boat: Of them all, the Time Bandit is probably closest — it has luxuries like a sauna, queen-size beds, a dishwasher, and even sports a Jolly Roger on the prow. She's definitely the "fun boat", according to her captains. The Northwestern is specifically built for crabbing and is also one of the largest ships. She's based on a top-of-the-line 1970s design that is still highly coveted by the various captains in the crab fleet. She's also the only 'house forward' boat on the show; the others are all 'house aft'. (House aft gives the captain more visibility of the work area but exposes the crew to more waves; house forward helps protect the crew because their immediate work area is right behind the wheelhouse, but the captain has to rely on video screens or turning around to monitor the work.) Conversely the tiny Lisa Marie barely looks like she should be out there, and yet she gets the job done. The Wizard is not only the largest vessel shown in the show (156 feet in length) but the oldest. She was built as an oiler for the US Navy during World War II.

At the end of the 2011 king crab season, both of the Wizard's greenhorns were gone - Chris had to be medevac'ed off the ship and Brady was fired. However, the new greenhorn on the Wizard during the 2012 opilio season impressed Keith so much that he gave him a raise mid-season.

Deadliest Catch / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: The Time Bandit. Ironically Andy missed the only question about the film on The Bait ("What movie had John Cleese as Robin Hood?") When it was pointed out in the season 10 preview show that there would be five Hillstrands on the Time Bandit plus several father-son pairs on the other boats someone pointed out that it was "like Saving Private Ryan or something" (the mission to save Pvt. Ryan was spurred by one family losing all five sons when they were stationed in the same group); this also went into why the Hillstrands' father treated them so harshly — he wanted to get them away from fishing. Elliott affectionately(?) calls Keith "Mr. Wizard", though it's unclear if he means the science guy or the one Neo refers to while running from Agent Smith. In Season 10 the captains took note of all the classic TV shows whose runs they've surpassed (for example, Gilligan's Island), which shocked them because syndication made them seem longer than they actually were. Also in the 10th season, Sig's daughter Mandy asked the rest of the Northwestern crew what her first string of crab pots should be called, to which Jake Anderson suggests "My Little Pony". Literal one in season 11: "This is the real Bering Sea Gold!" The description of "Heavy Lies the Crown": "Sig gives Jake Anderson a Whiplash-style captaining lesson." The Big Game episode title "Beastmode" is the nickname of Seattle Seahawks player Marshawn Lynch. In the last Season 11 Bait episode Sig compared watching Jake Anderson grow up on TV to Boyhood. In the Season 11 recap episode John compared Sig to Lex Luthor "... and if you don't know who Lex Luthor is then [BLEEP] you." In season 12, when John was talking about the bigger quotas during El Nino: "... and that's our mission, should we choose to accept it. 'This tape will self-destruct' (hums theme tune)".

Jonathan gave him a stern talking-to; Danny then doubled down on his asshattery, bragging about how he was going to sabotage the ship!

Deadliest Catch / int_caf8c66c	comment	The Chains of Commanding: In general, the captains try to maintain a friendly relationship with their crews, but at the same time, the captain is the one in charge, and any crewman who forgets that or tries to play on their relationship with the boss runs the risk of getting fired. In episode 8 of season 11, Wizard deckhand Freddy Maughtai, who had been endlessly loyal to Keith since being hired, decided to slack off once Monte was in charge and wanted to spend the night drinking instead of leaving early like Monte was planning. Monte noted that Freddy probably wouldn't pull this on Keith and when Freddy still refused to go, hired another guy on the spot and left. Jake Anderson learned that the chains are a burden a captain should bear alone once he took command of the Saga. After having spent the beginning of the trip heavily relying on his more experienced relief captain, a rogue wave nearly swept the crew off the deck when Jake wasn't at the wheel. This made him realize just how much of a responsibility he had and how he couldn't delegate it to someone else and expect his subordinates to listen to him. The Harris brothers get this in season 7 after they inherit 25% ownership of the Cornelia Marie. Now everyday of poor fishing is more than just demoralizing, but is taking money out of their pockets. This leads them into conflict with their new captain, who wants to stick to fishing for elusive blue crab.

Deadliest Catch / int_ce6555f0	comment	Lighter and Softer: Captain Keith Coburn of the Wizard must have taken an anger management class or something between Season 7 and Season 8, because he didn't have nearly as many blow-ups during Season 8 (if any). Probably the biggest example of this shift was in an episode set during the 2012 opilio season, when during an argument about miscommunication (sparked by Lenny not speaking loudly enough on deck, causing a buoy to pop as the Wizard was trying to leave iced-up St. Paul harbor), Lenny told Keith "fuck off" (resulting in an Oh, Crap! look from Lynn Guitard). Keith's response? Go out on deck ... and tell Lenny to project towards the loud hailer to prevent similar miscommunications in the future. Keith likely would not have reacted nearly as calmly to a comment like that just a season ago. Dips into Fridge Brilliance when one remembers that Keith felt bad about blowing up at the cameraman near the end of the previous season and admitted that, as captain, he should have had better self-control. (See Took a Level in Jerkass, below.) It's quite possible that he's made a conscious effort to correct that flaw. Considering when obnoxious greenhorn Tebo tried to sucker-punch Freddy all Tebo got from Keith was a quick punch (for demonstration purposes, i.e. "how did that feel to you?") and a stern talking-to (Keith was going to fire Tebo, but Tebo quit first) those anger-management lessons must be working. Even the rain gear room "no more bullshit" speech Keith gave in the next episode to get his crew back under control after Lenny told Monte to "fuck off" (which Keith took as a sign of Dane's malignant influence on crew discipline) was remarkably restrained compared to the Keith from even just a couple years ago. His response in season 10 to Monte reporting gear out of bounds and therefore catching illegal crab also fell under this. He could easily have chewed Monte out for this mistake (especially because it's his boat, and he'd lose more money than anyone), but all Keith did was calmly tell Monte to rail-dump all the crab.

The producer took great care to say before the season started that it was Phil's decision to keep filming because he wanted his story to be complete, regardless of the ending. Subverted with Jake Anderson, as his father's corpse is found after the filming of the seventh season ends. This means that the show could not exploit the angst. If his Twitter account posting is any indication, Jake seems kind of bitter that the show focused as much as it did on him losing loved ones as it did. Jake's uncle, Nick, has a mind for this when Jake's sister dies. After talking

Elliot Neese, easily the youngest captain, who also had an incredible run of bad luck over two seasons, was fired as captain of the Ramblin' Rose after Opies 2012. His solution? Take out a loan and buy his own boat; takes "sink or swim" to a whole new level. The negative side of this was shown in season ten, when Captain Scott Campbell Jr. stayed on the boat for too long with a herniated disc, trying to tough it out, and as a result his spinal injury severely worsened in even the few days he was there. Never mind Phil Harris, he coughed up blood and decided to do nothing about it and keep fishing. Unfortunately, it ended very badly with him dying due to the continuing stress and unhealthy living on Cornelia Marie.

If it were anybody else, his emotional state would look "only" depressed, but on Freddy it seems as though he's feeling like absolute shit.

The Time Bandit appeared on the mini series Bristol Bay Brawl (about herring fishing in Alaska's Bristol Bay). Andy Hillstrand, Josh Harris and the Hansen brothers appeared on Cash Cab. The Hillstrands appeared on American Chopper: Senior vs. Junior and on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?. Sig is campaigning to be on Dancing with the Stars, which explains his fancy footwork in New Orleans; he also provides the voice of Crabby, which is a cartoon version of the Northwestern in Pixar's Cars 2. He also revealed on Revelations that he was offered a movie role but turned it down. In 2015 he was a contestant in season 14 of Celebrity Apprentice. Sort of: One of the Northwestern crew has a sweatshirt of them and the boat done up South Park-style. Johnathan Hillstrand of the Time Bandit and Scott Campbell Jr. of the Seabrooke made an appearance on the second episode of MythBusters' tenth season, testing various myths relating to their job, such as whether crab pots can be blown up, if taking short naps during 30-hour shifts improves a person's ability to perform their duties, and if it's possible to get pulled overboard and to the bottom of the ocean by getting caught in the rope of a crab pot. Seabrooke deckhand Mac White made an uncredited appearance on Animal Planet's Off the Hook: Extreme Catches telling host Eric Young about the dangers of fishing on the Bering Sea.

Deadliest Catch / int_eb8ec7c8	comment	Jerkass: Captain Keith came off as this in the Greenhorn Special, saying something along the lines of "There's not much entertainment on a crab boat, so we're going to have some fun at a greenhorn's expense" while talking about the Wizard's reputation for being particularly hard on greenhorns. Derrick Ray, the guy hired to captain the Cornelia Marie for the 2010 king crab season, came across this way, constantly insulting and belittling the crew and making constant references to Jake Harris' past drug problems, even calling the cops on him (no solid evidence is found and Jake refuses a drug test, citing harassment). Josh and Derrick got into a shouting match and nearly got into a fight over the debacle later on during the After the Catch special. "Wild Bill" Wichrowski will belittle his crew the instant they screw up, especially his son. That being said, Bill's crews have not been very good, and have made several major mistakes. In one case, two pots came detached from the crane because they were improperly tied; one crew member in the wrong place at the wrong time when that happens and he could be hurt or killed. Plus, Bill's tiff with his son Zach Larson came after Zach gave Bill a smartass response to Bill trying to teach him some hook-throwing pointers. Amazingly Bill's mood improved after Zach started being a smartass right back ("Maybe I'll take your name and ruin your legacy"), which he sees as an improvement over his son's former flinchy/apathetic personality. Elliot Neese will also snap at his crew over small things, frequently comes off as petulant and snotty, and has a tendency to abuse the beeper that lets the crew know a wave's coming. A lot of his issues are due to his personal life being in shambles (see Laser-Guided Karma below), but sometimes his conduct is just inexcusable. His erratic behavior during season 11 as he slipped back into drug abuse didn't help anything. Scott Campbell Jr. rapidly developed into one of these in the ninth season. He offered to team up with Keith by sharing information about where the fishing was good, then barely a day later voided the agreement and lied when Keith called him on it. Then he sailed up to where Elliot was, and they spent the better part of a few days overfishing the area, to the point where both of their catches plummeted. Elliot called Junior and attempted to bury the hatchet, and Junior offered to team up with Elliot. Elliot kept up his side of the bargain, but Junior was almost gleefully plotting betrayal the whole time...and when Elliot went into town to offload his crab, Junior packed up and left without telling Elliot, leaving the latter in the lurch. Freddy has gotten more and more Jerkass-y over the years, even going to far as to threaten Wizard greenhorn Dane Tebo with physical harm. Then when the crabbers were waiting out the government shutdown in 2013, he got into it with Elliot and one of his crewmen. The crewman made the joke that "I always have my bitch light my cigarette", referring to Elliot, but Freddy decided the guy had meant him and got pissed. Then after Keith and Monte broke up the confrontation, Elliot tried to further defuse things by offering Freddy a cigarette and saying that "I just wanna get out of here, get home to my wife and kids. I'm sure you're the same way, you just wanna go see your wife and kids.", to which Freddy paused and then replied "Fuck off." Time Bandit deckhand Danny Chiu was this crossed with Cloudcuckoolander. He acted like a complete loon on numerous occasions (the last time we see him, as he's escorted off the boat, he's even dressed in a homemade superhero costume for no reason at all!), and physically assaulted Phillip Hillstrand (Jonathan's nephew) after verbally bullying him for no reason. This ended up having disastrous consequences: Phillip was so distracted by Danny's bullying that he wasn't paying attention at a crucial moment and got his hand crushed by a mechanism, forcing him to sit out the rest of the 2015 opilio season while he got it fixed. And then, when Phillip was gone, Danny turned his ire towards Axel Hillstrand just to have somebody new to bully! Jonathan gave him a stern talking-to; Danny then doubled down on his asshattery, bragging about how he was going to sabotage the ship! At that point, Jonathan said "screw it" and headed back to port just to get rid of him, with cops waiting at the dock just in case Danny did anything stupid.

Deadliest Catch / int_f237981e	comment	The Alleged Car: Or rather alleged ships. Just about every ship has had some major need for repairs but the Cornelia Marie has really stood out in past seasons. Capt. Phil needed to get a huge engine overhaul in season 4 ... and then it still broke down. Even worse, in the opilio half of season 5, the Cornelia needed three huge repairs that held Phil up for a week and put him in a huge money hole. Season 11 started with the Cornelia getting a very late start on king crab due to being shut down for repairs. The Hillstrands have been having trouble with the Time Bandit in recent years. A much ballyhooed overhaul did little to actually improve the boat. In fact, an entire season had to be written off after a propeller simply fell off the drive shaft while they were at sea. The Saga spent more than a decade rusting away in a harbor before Elliot Neese took her back out to sea without a proper overhaul. A lot of people expressed surprise at the fact that she was still floating until Jake Anderson oversaw an extensive refit that got her structurally fit again.

Deadliest Catch / int_f4b1129f	comment	Anger Born of Worry: This hit Andy Hillstrand of the Time Bandit after deckhand Travis falls overboard during the start of the 2012 opilio season. After Travis is brought into the galley, wrapped in a blanket and still shivering (he was in freezing water for 2 1/2 minutes), Andy barges into the galley and yells at Travis: One year later, when the crew was starting to act a little goofy in hurricane-force winds and was then hit by a giant wave: In the July 23, 2013 episode, it struck Captain Keith of the Wizard after Freddy stripped to his sweat pants and jumped into freezing water to help secure a walrus carcass. Captain Keith's description of how he was feeling after the incident boils down to the trope name. At least some (if not most, in later seasons) of Josh Harris' arguments with his brother Jake stem from him being worried about his brother's welfare.

Deadliest Catch / int_f6e05922	comment	At the end of the 2011 king crab season, Keith fired Brady, the greenhorn who'd hired on at the same time as Chrisnote The one who had to be medevaced off the ship by the Coast Guard., for laziness, constantly whining, and basically being dead weight. Brady left the boat almost as soon as it was at the dock, and Keith had the rest of the crew applaud him as he walked away. Brady later came on After the Catch, and while Keith gave him credit for having the courage to do that, he and Elliot both lambasted Brady, who did little to prove them wrong.

Deadliest Catch / int_f909b16b	comment	Dark Secret: An LA Times article revealed that film crews for this and other action-filled reality shows aren't unionized and can't get insurance because they're so dangerous. Why Jake Anderson's dad disappeared: He was addicted to prescription drugs and bought them from "someone [Jake] didn't know" and was subsequently murdered on an isolated logging road. After his dad's drug addiction was revealed the community "turned their backs" on the family; ironically the day before he was killed Jake and his family had decided to stage an intervention. This goes beyond Jake's dad and applies to the bulk of the guys on the Northwestern in terms of their own drug abuse. Edgar, Matt, and Jake are all recovering addicts (Matt=Meth, Edgar=Drugs and Alcohol, and Jake= Alcohol), though the show goes out of their way to cryptically reference their vices. Played straight with Jake Harris's drug problem, as being caught stealing his dad's medication red-handed by his father led to him confessing his problems. Elliott Neese is also a recovering addict. When he suffers a relapse in season 10 due to another argument with Val, he checks into a rehab center after his father calls him out. It did't take, as he was all but shown using on the Saga during Season 11 and checked back into rehab. Nick McGlashan of Summer Bay died of an overdose.

Deadliest Catch / int_fb9e25e9	comment	Team Mom: The wife of the Maverick's captain took part in watching the helm, cooking good food, waking up deckhands, and boosting morale. She herself called herself the crew's mother, nurse, cook, and psychologist. The head producer, who let Jake Harris stay at her place after he left rehab and is lovingly and respectfully called "Evil", "Beelzebub", and "[CENSORED]" by the captains, who also consider her the admiral of the Deadliest Catch fleet. Elliot's one-time girlfriend Jessica may have been this, as she was going to be the Saga's cook (assuming Elliot's kidney infection didn't get any worse and prevent them from fishing). She only stayed around for one crab season. Captain Sean Dwyer's mother, Jenny Gore Dwyer, is prominently featured as the owner of the Brenna A and appears to be good friends with the crew.

Deadliest Catch / int_fe1ccea	type	Evil Parents Want Good Kids
Deadliest Catch / int_fe1ccea	comment	Evil Parents Want Good Kids: The fishermen aren't exactly evil, but they tend not to want their children to take on such a dangerous job. Jr.'s dad and Wild Bill did not want their sons to become fisherman — Jr.'s dad even gave his men carte blanche to scare Jr. away from the business. Elliott was offered a full-ride hockey scholarship which he turned down to become a crab fisherman. His dad was... rather displeased with that decision, but now he's very proud of his son. The Hillstrands' father didn't want any of his five sons becoming fishermen and was incredibly harsh towards them to get them away from the job/lifestyle; he succeeded exactly halfway (two aren't fisher men, two are, and one runs a processing plant on shore). Sig's daughter Mandy is very eager to join the family business, even foregoing college; Sig is pleased and worried at the same time. Sig's deckhand Matt was incredibly troubled by Mandy's presence because he has four daughters (Sig's other two daughters apparently don't share their little sister's passion for the sea). Jake Anderson stated he doesn't want his son to become a crab fisherman (but you never know...) Phil's father was a legendary crab fisherman, and he called in favors from literally every captain in the fleet to not hire Phil when he was a young man. Phil eventually ground one captain down by offering to work for free for a year.

Deadliest Catch / int_ffd816e7	type	Everything Trying to Kill You
Deadliest Catch / int_ffd816e7	comment	Everything Trying to Kill You: Thousand-pound crab pots swing from cranes like giant piñatas, and can fall off the launcher if not properly secured. The water is so cold that, without a survival suit, you will die of hypothermia before you have a chance to drown. Ice floes in the water can smash through the hull of the boat. Ice can build up on the superstructure until it either breaks and falls on you, or gets so heavy it capsizes the boat. The ropes attached to the pots can wrap around your leg, dragging you overboard and down to the bottom, and possibly dragging you the length of the deck first. Giant waves break over the side of the boat, tossing you and your equipment around like so many bathtub toys. There's a lot of second-hand smoke from all the cigarettes. Sometimes with almost supernatural instigation: On the Time Bandit in Season 7, a line snapped and encircled two crewmen in the space of two or three seconds; had they not jumped out of the way they would have been dragged over a second later by the weight of the crab pot. It's been said that crab fishing has a 100% injury rate; it's not if you'll get hurt, but when and how bad. Bad accidents aren't even limited to being out on sea. Johnathon Hillstrand fell into the sea while attempting to board the Time Bandit after a Halloween pub crawl. A Wizard greenhorn was medically removed from the crew after slipping on some ice while in Dutch Harbor. Capt. Keith explains to a new greenhand in a Season 6 episode that an untold amount of men have died just trying to get on their ship from the harbor. One of the factoids on "Social Reload" was that in the bad old days an average of 37 fishermen died each year.
