00:00the vast Bering Sea over a million square miles of the world's most violent
00:06and unpredictable waters and home of the deadliest catch Alaskan crab
00:13coming up just three weeks into this year's red king crab season a barrage
00:20of fierce arctic storms pummels the fleet and lukewarm fishing brings captains to
00:26their boiling points now in this high-stakes game it's all about the
00:36numbers as the hunt continues for the deadliest catch
00:56whoo
01:05whoo
01:06Two hundred and sixty miles northeast of Dutch Harbor, the Time Bandit crew hauls the first
01:36pot Captain Jonathan set on family grounds.
01:39Yeah!
01:43Kick out!
01:46Oh yeah! Oh yeah!
01:48This is awesome.
01:50You big daddy.
01:52You didn't look very good yesterday, but today we're looking good.
01:55Come on baby, look at that red dome right there!
01:59After a slow start to the season, the tide finally turns in their favor.
02:04It's the crab fishing for you man. Heaven and hell.
02:07It's the hell and all of a sudden you'll find the mother load.
02:11Wow!
02:17Hey cowboy hat's good luck man.
02:19Put that cowboy hat on and wham-a-wear on the crab.
02:22Every time it comes on, game on!
02:25With full pots and spirits rising, Greenhorn's Scott Hillstrand takes a shot at working the rail.
02:35He started out a little bit slow, but Matt, he's just racking buoys right through the block.
02:42I think Scott's doing great.
02:44He'll make some good money and then he'll have time off when I have time off when we can do stuff together.
02:49This is what we're here for.
02:51I know he loves it out here.
02:52Yeah, you just want to do the best for him and you want to have a better life than you had.
02:57Scotty Hillstrand grew up like any other normal kid.
03:00That is, if that kid were the son of a second generation crab fisherman.
03:05Yeah, I feel like, you know, this boat is a part of me.
03:08It's where I grew up.
03:10You know, for my two, three-year-old birthdays, I was, you know, on the boat.
03:15My family has never been the nine-to-five deal, but that's why I'm coming out here.
03:19This is my trial period, you know, see what happens.
03:22Scotty joins a fishing heritage beginning in 1964 with his grandfather, John Wesley Hillstrand.
03:30My grandfather started fishing, you know, in the 70s and he kicked ass.
03:35My grandpa was a crazy guy.
03:37He's one hell of a fisherman too.
03:39Rough and tough, that's the way he was.
03:44A lot has changed since Grandpa Hillstrand fished these waters.
03:48But some things have remained the same.
03:50The Bering Sea is just as deadly.
03:53And the Hillstrand clan, well, they're just as wild as ever.
03:59I am, I am, I am a changing man.
04:06Oh, I can hold the boy just as long as I can.
04:14But I am, I know, I am a changing man.
04:20Got this need to be given.
04:35I'm not sure what it is I've done.
04:41I hooked that a little bit to the left.
04:44But Scotty is going through the bunkers.
04:46Next time, I'm going to adjust it there.
04:48Okay.
04:49Okay, thank you for your interview, sir.
04:52Which is Neil.
04:54Neil, Neil on the refrigerator.
04:56We got Neil on the refrigerator.
04:58What are you going to say?
04:59What are you going to say?
05:06Oh, I get it!
05:07Oh, boy, just as long as I can.
05:13Oh!
05:14Oh, I am, I know, I am a changing man.
05:19Well, I wake up with somebody's face to my head.
05:25Oh, no.
05:27Because I am, I know, I am a changing man.
05:39Yeah!
05:40Little crab dance.
05:41That was better.
05:45For 12 straight hours, Jonathan's pulled from a massive biomass, averaging 60 keepers per pot.
05:52Now, they're just a couple of pots shy of cramming their crab tank with the 33,000 pounds they needed for this trip.
06:0060.
06:0169.
06:037-5, baby.
06:07Grab this now, baby!
06:10After 19 days of fishing, the Time Bandit will be the first boat to head back to Dutch Harbor, and the first to get paid.
06:18All about the money.
06:19It's a 26-hour run to Dutch Harbor, where the Time Bandit will offload.
06:4155 miles to the south is the 126-foot northwestern.
06:45We're going to get a 35-40 average out of this.
06:48You watch.
06:50Yeah!
06:55Captain Sig stuck with his gut, and has dropped more gear on his dad's grounds.
07:00Now, the family roadmap is paying off.
07:04I mean, right now, I've got crab off to the east here.
07:07I've got crab out to the west.
07:09I've got it in both sets.
07:10I just, you know, scratching my head thinking, you know, you've got to pick a spot.
07:16We're going to keep stacking, see how these strings do, and make up our minds.
07:19But when I see a table full of crab, I sure the heck don't like to leave it.
07:23On deck, greenhorn Jake Anderson is in charge of the crab count.
07:32How many?
07:3324.
07:3424.
07:3524.
07:36His job is to consolidate the count from the other fishermen, write the number down, and relay it to Sig.
07:4123.
07:4415.
07:4515.
07:461-5.
07:5127.
07:522-7.
07:53Okay, get me those numbers, okay?
07:55Roger, roger.
07:56Are you ready?
07:57Sig's beginning to suspect the count is not accurate.
08:00Okay, that's before that.
08:0141.
08:02You had 32.
08:04You just told me that we'll have a mix.
08:0631.
08:07Hey, what are you guys doing?
08:10I want the crab count, and I'm on a set!
08:13And I'm on it now!
08:1953.
08:2053.
08:2144.
08:2244.
08:23And 42.
08:2442.
08:25What happens if those numbers are wrong?
08:29If your counts are off, your weight's off.
08:31If your weight's off, and you catch too much, you can get fine.
08:36Numbers are very important to me.
08:40My life consists of numbers.
08:45And when I don't get them, I get really freaking mad, because it's not that hard to give me numbers.
08:54After 36 straight hours of work, deck boss Edgar needs to regain control of the sloppy deck, where the next ass being chewed will be his own.
09:07He doesn't have a knife.
09:09He doesn't have...
09:10He doesn't have a knife.
09:11He doesn't have a knife.
09:12He doesn't have a knife.
09:13I know everyone's got a knife.
09:15There.
09:16There's 20 knife belts.
09:17No reason all you guys shouldn't have a knife on you.
09:18If I go over, I want someone to be there for me.
09:20If a fisherman gets caught in a line, something that happens frequently, a sharp knife may be the only thing that stands between staying on deck or a trip to the bottom.
09:39A little reminder that he needs to be wearing a belt.
09:44Today, Jake will wear a smelly cod instead of a knife.
09:48I just don't want him to forget.
09:50It's the most important thing you can have.
09:53Screw the boots.
09:54Screw the gloves.
09:56Always wear your knife belt.
09:58Always.
09:59Very humbling.
10:00If the job's not hard enough itself, you get to wear a cod.
10:11270 miles north of Dutch Harbor, Captain Keith Colburn of the Wizard is on the crab.
10:16We're off to a good start, and that one's got to be all the 70 crabs.
10:2060 or 70, so...
10:22That's all right.
10:23Woo-hoo!
10:24Woo-hoo!
10:25Look at that!
10:26That is a good spot!
10:27Keith consolidated 300 pots into one square mile.
10:31A risky move that's now paying off in spades.
10:34Oh, boy.
10:40All right, let's go!
10:41Here we go.
10:42What did we get, Lenny?
10:43We had 112 in the last pot.
10:45Are you good?
10:46Woo!
10:47112.
10:52We're off to a wonderful start.
10:57Yeah!
10:58Woo!
10:59So far, we've had a 75.
11:00A 75, a 68, and a 112 through these first five.
11:04Oh, look at that!
11:05Woo!
11:06Yeah!
11:07This is a beautiful crab.
11:08And he's not happy.
11:09Wait a minute.
11:10On deck, the two greenhorns, Jason Moylinen and Lynn Guitard, hustle to keep up with the fast-paced
11:24activity.
11:25I like and enjoy being out here, you know?
11:28So far, at least, right now.
11:30I don't mind the criticism, you know, it's my own fault.
11:33And Lynn is steadily proving his worth.
11:38The kid's doing quite a bit better than Moy right now.
11:41You know, he's not showing signs of being beat up.
11:44And his skills are getting better.
11:47He's getting a little more organized with what he's doing.
11:49This is all this stuff right here.
11:52Yeah.
11:53My hands are cold and wet.
11:55It hurts me.
11:58It's swollen.
11:59Sipping my left thumb down.
12:02Can't feel it.
12:04You hear my theory on whining?
12:06Yup.
12:07It's like a rocking chair.
12:09It gives you something to do, but you just don't get it.
12:13Halfway through the string, Keith notices a pot is not where he placed it.
12:18About two tenths of a mile off where it's supposed to be, which is an indication that somebody came through here and decided to take a peek at one of my pots.
12:28It looks like he came in, wandered around, pulled a loop here.
12:32Why would you pull a loop unless you pulled in, hauled the pot, set it back, and then took off?
12:37He's checking my pots and I'm pissed off because the one thing I don't do is touch other people's gear, period.
12:46We're picking these up and we're going to move them up the hill.
12:48There's no way I'm putting them back in here, especially with this guy sitting right through the neighborhood.
12:58Keith spots another crab boat off the bow.
13:01Hey, you know what, guys?
13:04It's that same guy.
13:05Hey, boat right off my starboard side.
13:07You pick me up here.
13:11I can't get any closer.
13:15Come on.
13:16You on this one?
13:21He's not coming back because he knows why he's not coming back because he knows exactly what I know.
13:25That's what he called my pot.
13:31All right.
13:32See you in town.
13:34Don't expect me to be buying any beers in the future.
13:37Touch my gear again.
13:38It's game on, pal.
13:40Back in Dutch Harbor, as a storm front moves in, the early dawn scrambles to leave port.
13:51Mike, let pack his bow lines in.
13:53Hey, I need a dog, guy.
13:55Bow lines.
13:56Captain Rick Faced grossed $2 million fishing brown crabs, but it's put him two weeks behind the start of the more lucrative red king crab season.
14:06Clear!
14:07I've got a hundred pots on board right now.
14:09I can cover 50 miles a half mile apart.
14:11It seems like a long stretch to spread out of your gear, but it could pay off.
14:13Within two days, I could have the information I'm looking at for without anybody's help.
14:16Once I find him, it's, uh, start making bait, boys.
14:21It's time to set.
14:36As Rick sets a course toward untested territory, the crew make their own preparations down in the galley.
14:44Heavenly Father, we thank you for the last brown crab season.
14:48There's no injuries, and you looked over our family and loved ones.
14:51We ask that you put a hand of protection over the boat so there are no injuries.
14:55We ask this to be a profitable season for us.
14:58You know, we work hard, and we ask that we see some profits from our hard work.
15:02Amen, man.
15:03Let's catch some red crab, boys.
15:04Be safe.
15:05Guys are spiritual on a boat.
15:06They may not be the traditional religion, but they're still spiritual.
15:10I mean, you see so much neat stuff out here, you know, but, uh, so it's just something we do.
15:16Prayers over for the Greenhorns.
15:23Shane Davis and Brian Message, the boat owner's son.
15:26It's right back to the grunge work of preparing bait.
15:29We need 100, but, uh, Skipper said we can make about 50, call it good, because there'll be time in between.
15:39We can make them then.
15:40So, uh, I don't know how many we're making or going to.
15:44I guess we feel like stopping them.
15:46Trying to take advantage of all the minutes that I have.
15:49I got the weather.
15:51I've got till maybe noon tomorrow.
15:54By nightfall, the clear weather window closes.
15:58The early dawn plows through 20-foot seas and 60-mile-an-hour winds.
16:04Now they need to launch 80,000 pounds of crab pots in order to stabilize their boat.
16:10Ah, happy days right here again.
16:13Number one, going over, baby!
16:17Whoo!
16:18This was the first part of the 2007 red crab season.
16:23Bravo, Papa.
16:25Go get some crab, Papa.
16:28Come on, step up, grab some steel, give her a spin.
16:32Come on.
16:52To get their 100 pots off the deck, they'll have to work through the night in ugly conditions.
16:58Not an easy way to start the season.
17:02180 miles northeast of Dutch Harbor.
17:05Dawn breaks on the Cornelia Marie.
17:08Two weeks of dismal fishing as Captain Phil's blood boiling.
17:16These pots haven't shown anything.
17:18It's really bad.
17:20Ah, we probably got an eight, nine average, something like that.
17:23It just doesn't look good.
17:26This morning, for some reason, I don't, I feel like I couldn't make a decision
17:31to bite my or go blind.
17:33And that's bad.
17:34To me right now, I feel like I'm not.
17:38To make matters worse, the few crab that climb into the pots are climbing back out.
17:46Half the pots that come up, their doors aren't tight on them, you know, and they're just sloppy, just sloppy work.
17:52And it pisses me off.
17:54And I think it's ding and dong that they're doing it.
17:58In crab fishing, attention to detail matters.
18:01And Phil's sons, Jake and Josh, are not paying attention.
18:05You guys see the doors on these pots?
18:11They're hanging open on the bottom.
18:13I don't know who's tying them, but you guys need to do a better job.
18:17Maybe that's, that's not good.
18:20They get going in a hurry, and they don't realize they're doing it, but they're gonna have to slow their little ass down to do it right.
18:28I'd rather be quick than take a little bit longer in the pot.
18:32Don't argue with the child, because he won't get nowhere, even if he's wrong.
18:36It's hard enough catching these things without throwing sloppy and careless in there.
18:41Although Phil's the stickler for even the smallest detail, he takes it easy on his sons this time.
18:47After all, Jake has a birthday coming up.
18:50Today's his birthday.
18:52I haven't said happy birthday, I gotta give him a card here in a little bit.
18:57I was partying my ass off when he was born.
19:02Yeah.
19:04I remember it like it was yesterday.
19:06Only because it's your birthday today, big boy, am I lightening up on you.
19:11By the way, happy birthday.
19:14I don't know about it.
19:15I'm still 21.
19:17It's his birthday tomorrow.
19:19It's the 20th, isn't it?
19:22Is that 21st?
19:24The 21st.
19:25OK, he was born at night, so it was a big deal about whether it was the 20th or 21st.
19:31Figured out his dad's not cured because he says he was born at night.
19:34For some reason, that gives it a lot of uncertainty.
19:37Last year, he went and he bought everybody a beer at the bar, and he said that that was my birthday present.
19:42So this year, he better be like, give me something cool.
19:46I claim it was the 20th, but I picked him up to see how cute he was, and he pissed all over me.
19:58On a short break, the skipper refuels with caffeine, nicotine, and stress, the essential Bering Sea food groups.
20:07Smokes way too much sitting up in the chair by himself, drinks too much Red Bull, drinks way too much coffee.
20:13You still ticking?
20:15How about grabbing me a couple Red Bulls, Josh?
20:2112, 14, 16 left out of 36, so you're looking at 20. He's been through 56 Red Bulls in five days.
20:30Do the math.
20:32One thing I learned last season, if you don't ask any questions, is get him what he wants.
20:39150 miles to the northwest, the Wizard continues its 24-7 operation.
20:45While Keith gets a rest, brother Monty takes the wheel.
20:49You get into this kind of weather, this is when you start having guys, you know, get in trouble.
21:02The weather got a little bit more interesting tonight.
21:07It's falling about 40, and it just grazed the bar just another notch.
21:12Just gotta keep an eye on the horn.
21:18It's blowing. It's starting to blow.
21:21Alright, into the ditch now.
21:32In lousy weather, no place on deck is safe, especially for the Greenhorns.
21:42We're worried about these Greenhorns, even when it's nice out.
21:45They don't know where the danger zones are.
21:48Learning these things takes time.
21:50Unfortunately, time is one thing that we don't really have a surplus of.
21:53Give me that bridle, boy. Right here. Thank you.
22:02The boy is 35 years old.
22:10I mean, it's unfortunate, but age is an issue out here.
22:13This is a young man's game when you're out on one of these decks.
22:16It really is.
22:17Let's go. Heads up.
22:23Here we go. Hell no more.
22:29Watch the morale. You're in a bad spot.
22:31Hold it up. Heads up.
22:37The wrong place, and the wrong time.
22:40Moy got lucky.
22:41Just got wiped out by a wave.
22:43Setting the hook on the pot.
22:45Come on at you, bud.
22:46Need a hand.
22:47The two-week grind has left Moy's body bruised,
22:50and his spirit shattered, and it's only going to get worse.
22:54In all honesty, I think he's in for a little bit of an eye opener,
22:56to tell you the truth.
22:58Let's go.
22:591080 miles northeast of Dutch Harbor, the 128-foot Cornelia Marie
23:13drives into 20-foot seas and 50-knot winds.
23:16The tide's going to change, and it's going to get really nautical here shortly.
23:22The next couple hours.
23:25I used to sit around and listen to the weather,
23:29and get all worried about it and everything.
23:31I gave all that up.
23:33We're going to be here.
23:34We've got a job to do.
23:35Let's go do it.
23:38Screw the weather.
23:40It's not the weather that worries Captain Phil.
23:42It's the 14 days of horrible fishing.
23:46But Phil trudges on.
23:52All 100 pots must be stacked in order to move to better grounds.
23:56Oh, we're rolling a lot of blanks.
24:09Hard pots that have like four for a crowd that I'm right now.
24:22Running a little ways.
24:24Dump some more gear.
24:25Run a little farther.
24:26Haul some more gear.
24:27Maybe he sleeps off time.
24:31But for the skipper, it's no rest for the wicked.
24:34I'm really tired.
24:35I've been sitting here since 5.30 this morning.
24:38That's only 19 hours, but if your ass gets tired of sitting here.
24:44After staying up for three days and spending the last 19 hours in the chair,
24:56the caffeine and nicotine has stopped working.
24:58Now, with stress culminating from days of bad fishing, an unhealthy diet and sporadic fevers,
25:13the skipper begins nodding off at the wheel.
25:15Now, with stress culminating from days of bad fishing, an unhealthy diet and sporadic fevers,
25:26the skipper begins nodding off at the wheel.
25:29Speeding off course, Captain Phil misses the first set of buoy bags by nearly 100 feet.
25:44Look, I don't know what Pops is up to.
25:49Just kind of standing by, not sure what's going to go on.
25:52You don't want to, you know, bug Phil or anything.
25:56Minutes later, the next set are on the bow, but they're too close.
25:59He drove between the diver and the trailer buoy, and when you can't pull it up,
26:12you just got to let it go and let it back down on it.
26:18Usually that happens when you don't have enough sleep, so I'm not sure what's going on with that.
26:24Now, Murray insists on bugging Phil.
26:29Hey, Phil, can you hear me?
26:32Hey, Phil, can you hear me?
26:48Well, it's important to stay awake because you have basically seven people on this vessel
27:05that are depending on you.
27:06I mean, it does happen.
27:07I mean, it just, balance.
27:18150 miles to the northwest, Captain Rick faced of the early dawn.
27:23Two weeks late in the game, set a 100-pot, 50-mile prospect string in untested waters.
27:29Now, in the wake of the storm, the skippers spread thin to try to play catch-up.
27:38Anticipation is killing me right now.
27:40If I see crap in the spot, there's a damn good chance to be just crap all the way through my gear.
27:50That's how I'm looking for it.
27:57If I don't see anything here, oh boy.
28:00One meredite, two halibut, two cod, and a, uh, whatever, spiky, annoying fish.
28:24Zero crab.
28:26Come on, crab.
28:31Who are ya?
28:33The second test pot brings nothing but more bait.
28:39Three codfish, one starfish, and a little halibut.
28:43Can you say seafood salad?
28:52Two keepers.
28:53Two keepers.
28:56One.
29:00Five.
29:02Five.
29:0412 crab from 10 pots.
29:07That's a crab and a leg average.
29:10We need to head further to the east.
29:1210 miles.
29:14We need to head further somewhere.
29:17Rick's first day of fishing has been a disaster.
29:20I got about 60 pounds of crab on board right now.
29:24And I've got 327,940 pounds to go.
29:36250 miles north, the Time Bandit heads towards Dutch Harbor for their first offload of the season.
29:42After two weeks of hard fishing, the crew gets to enjoy a relaxed breakfast.
29:50Varian C, beat me down.
29:52Wake it up though with a good old coffee.
29:55And another staple of crabbing life, hanging out with the guys.
29:58So we make a sandwich around here.
30:04Tear it up.
30:07Smash it together.
30:09There you go.
30:10All right.
30:14Oh yeah.
30:15Yeah.
30:16As the crew relaxes, Scotty volunteers for wheel watch and gets some rare time for himself.
30:25This is my son Sawyer.
30:27My wife.
30:29Picture my dad Sawyer.
30:31If I take over the boat, then chances are he's going to end up following just like I did, just like my dad and his brothers did, following in their footsteps.
30:42And look, you know, Andy's the only one that's still married.
30:51You know, I don't want to have a split up family.
30:55And then when he gets old enough, he's going to wonder, you know, think it's his fault.
31:00You know, why I wasn't around and why I left.
31:03I don't know, those are a lot of the feelings I had growing up.
31:05You know, it sucks, man.
31:09It's true.
31:14There's a crazy life.
31:15That's for sure.
31:17I just don't know if I want to drag them through it or not.
31:21It's all in how you look at it.
31:23You know, is the glass half full or is the glass half empty?
31:27You know, you're going eight months out of the year for 120 grand a year.
31:31You know, and what's all that money worth if you can't enjoy it with your family?
31:40I don't know, we'll see.
31:42It's not all about me anymore.
31:45Where's my boy?
31:48He's going to be a handful.
31:50That's for dang sure.
31:54Maybe a future crabber.
31:56We'll see.
32:0250 miles to the south on the Northwestern.
32:08Captain Sig is on average numbers, but second guessing what to do with his second set of 150 pots.
32:18I'm very undecided about if I should stick around here for tonight or throw these on deck and go out west.
32:24I know there's better numbers out there.
32:27Greed, man. You want more.
32:29You want to get them while you can get them while they're hot.
32:35I want to get through my string quickly.
32:37I want to get through the next one quickly.
32:40Just as the pot clears the water, the picking hook's pulley screeches to a halt.
32:57The snatch block on the pick and hook just took it from throwing us.
33:07There's a groove wheel in that snatch block up there.
33:09The cable probably ate through it.
33:12Lucky it didn't go all the way through it.
33:13The cable would have come down with the pot and everything.
33:15This is our spare.
33:17We took this thing off a couple years ago.
33:20I'm hoping.
33:22But it's okay.
33:24Since the spare snatch block has a good pulley in it, Edgar prepares to ride the boat's crane to remove the broken part.
33:32Here, pull this up.
33:34Here, pull this line up.
33:35The chance is most likely that you're going to fall or that you're going to land on the deck and break your back.
33:41Okay, thanks for recording.
33:43I don't feel like falling 30 feet.
33:45Fundamental or water.
33:47Either one.
33:49Ah, whatever.
33:52Nice trip.
33:54Edgar has hoisted three stories to the broken block.
33:56That's one of those things where you never know.
34:05Stuff wears out, you know.
34:07Things get beat up on these boats.
34:09Where are the A-frame with that hook?
34:10Yeah, hook.
34:23Grab boats use two systems to manage gear.
34:26While the fixed picking boom hauls pots aboard, the crane moves and stacks the empty pots.
34:32If one crane is disabled, work slows to a crawl.
34:35Hurry, hurry, tie it off.
34:36Moving down.
34:40This is a good used one.
34:54Nice and smooth.
34:57That's a bad one.
34:59Just do a turn.
35:03Edgar makes one more trip to replace the block.
35:06But it's now past midnight and Sig's lost valuable time.
35:09He could be fishing.
35:14When you are in search mode like we are right now, you get spread out all over the place and you're second guessing yourself the whole time.
35:23And a lot of times you may find hot fishing in one spot and another and now you're divided.
35:28It's a pain in the whole thing.
35:30The whole thing.
35:32After a two hour delay, the Northwestern is back on the grind.
35:40All except deckhand Matt Bradley.
35:42Who's on the hook man?
35:43What are you doing?
35:44Matt does not look enthused to throw the hook and I'm just about to kick his **** off of there.
35:52That guy gets a **** attitude man at night.
35:55He gets to be a little ****.
35:57Matt's getting under my skin this evening and sorting crab with a fricking cheese sandwich in his left hand.
36:10He got eaten something.
36:12What's the matter with that guy?
36:13How's your **** sandwich?
36:24For a guy to stand out there with a sandwich in one hand and just start pitching crab with another doesn't cut it in my book.
36:30I'm sorry.
36:31The skipper's presence is enough.
36:47So this crab is going to stop.
36:48It's stopping now.
36:52The crab count.
36:53With 84,000 pounds in her hold, the wizard has leapt ahead of the rest of the fleet.
37:02270 miles north of Dutch Harbor aboard the wizard.
37:07Just after dawn, Crosby prepares a hot meal for the crew.
37:11The first they've had in two days.
37:14Since we're running 24 hours a day, we don't get breaks.
37:18And you kind of have to fit in your own meal when you can.
37:22Yeah, Keith.
37:23Dinner's ready.
37:24For lunch or breakfast or whichever meal you'd like to call this one.
37:28Chicken.
37:29There's all kinds of vegetables.
37:30Is there anything in there?
37:31Oh, man.
37:33Let's unwind.
37:34Have a little dinner.
37:35While the crew refuels, Greenhorn Moy is too broken to leave the comfort of his bunk.
37:40Moy will get up to a nice galley to clean and no food to eat.
37:47That's good.
37:48I think he'd rather have sleeping food anyways.
37:50It was worse stopping the boat, not for the food, but just for the change of pace.
38:08After a luxurious 30-minute break, the men are right back to the grind.
38:12Hydro leak.
38:15Let's get some pads out.
38:21If the hydraulic fluid leaks into the holding tanks, all the crab will probably die.
38:29This is costing us time right now.
38:33Okay, I'll turn it on for four seconds.
38:36Two seconds.
38:37Two seconds?
38:38All right.
38:39Quick enough.
38:41There it is.
38:42It's the return.
38:43High pressure return.
38:45A little pinhole will blow the whole thing because you have 1,800 pounds of pressure on it.
38:48Out of everything that's happened out here, just right now at least, it's not my fault.
38:56So we'll have to see if one of these will work.
39:00I'll be back.
39:04While the crew has been working on the hydro repair, the wizard has been adrift.
39:09We had to throw over the side.
39:10I pulled out a gear, ended up right back.
39:12It's not in the wheel, but it's stuck in the rudder.
39:14We're dragging that thing down the string with us.
39:16It's definitely in the rudder or the prop or whatever.
39:19I'm going to go ahead and throw it, try to get it on the winch here.
39:27If the rudder is disabled, the wizard will be at the mercy of the current and require a tow back to port.
39:34You want to just try to force it out of there, rip it out, and we're going to tear something off?
39:38Yeah, go for it.
39:42One problem is solved when Lenny finishes the hose repair.
39:45This is a Band-Aid, a good Band-Aid, but it's not perfect.
39:50Ready?
39:51I'll get it.
39:52You can hop over here, Keith.
39:53On the stern, a bit of luck.
39:56There it goes, there it goes.
39:57Woohoo!
39:58We got it, it's out.
40:00Right on.
40:01You know, the old girl doesn't like to stop, doesn't like to drift, and maybe we're being punished for that great meal that Crosby made us.
40:07Watch your step, it could be slick.
40:10Yo, we're done here, we've fixed up problems.
40:12It's time to get back to business, so I'd kind of rather be hauling than fixing.
40:16160 miles to the southeast, the early dawn nears the end of hauling her 50-mile prospect string.
40:31Captain Rick only has a meager 500 pounds to show.
40:35One thing is good, we're getting lots of fresh cod here, so when we reset, we're going to be baiting the half the heck out of us.
40:41I've been averaging about five, six cod here.
40:44Big cod, small cod, lots of cod.
40:46But the crew didn't come to fish for bait.
40:51Basically, we wasted two days.
40:53You want to land on the score right off the get-go, but you've got to work at it.
41:01We don't have no numbers on four, fives, and sixes.
41:04Everybody's down.
41:06Next thing you know, people argue with each other and stuff like that.
41:09Not the usual arguing.
41:11It's a little more intense.
41:13Well, quit throwing away the bait!
41:15I just saw a nice one go off the shoot.
41:17Oh, you did it.
41:18Oh, what a...
41:19We need the bait.
41:21Hang the bait.
41:22Dude, I seen you in the last string.
41:24You were dragging ass.
41:27One pot.
41:28We've got time in between.
41:30I want it done.
41:32You're trying to make a dollar here, dude.
41:35Bad morale is when you're not making no money.
41:39Shut the .
41:40Get your .
41:42Hard to open the ground like a...
41:47Well, you know when you're hauling blank pots, that's when you start getting people getting pissed off at each other.
41:52We have an emergency on the sort table.
41:55Whoop, whoop, whoop!
41:57Now, with two days wasted, the crew stacks their gear, hoping better days and more fruitful grounds lie ahead.
42:12Would you go on a liquid?
42:14Hold on to that-
42:15All right.
42:16Whoa.
42:17leave me.
42:18Feeling special.
42:19Leave me alone.
42:20Let me take you.
42:21Just, I hope your human value is now over the course, like Chao.
42:23I will
