You kids see what comes on next Tuesday after DC?

A two-hour special of American Chopper. Talk about a series they won’t kill.

Can so somebody explain the russia thing? Prices are at an all time high but russia cant find enough captains? How does that work?

It’s fake TV drama. Extremely little of the show is real now x I’d guess 5%.

This. I hate all the drama, but I still like watching them work when it's nautical.

Is face tat guy on the Summer Bay real?! That has to be CGI. No one would willingly do that to their face. 

[ss13 1832]

You don’t get out much, do you?

Ha, they bumped it for some Oprah Winfrey bullshit. 

[Scraps 13561]

Been catching up on this season this weekend

Harley needs his old ass beat the fuck up.

Scott still sucks. I typically never side with crybaby Keith, but I wish Keith could beat his ass lol

Harris boy is still clueless it seems

Sig is no longer relevant on the show. His boat doesn't have enough drama or morons on it apparently.

Russian was a dick, but I love when people give Bill hell

Jakes still my favorite

[Pato del Muerto 52509]

Aaaaaand the teaser shows us drama on the northwestern tonight. Looks like a total power loss.

Wouldn’t be the first time on the Northwestern. I remember they fried an electrical panel and Edgar has to hot wire everything back. Let’s see how the new engineer does tonight. 

[ss13 1832]

I’d say ol’ Norm knocked it out pretty quick. 

And we got a little ‘Wanted Dead or Alive’ at the beginning again. 

[ss13 1832]

Welp, the burnt clutch changed all that. 

[ss13 1832]

What are the two white boxes right in front of Junior? Kinda look like speakers or AC/heating units of some kind. 

[Nole-4-Life 804]

That damn False Pass looks fun. Get those big ass boats in 6 feet of water....

How many hours do they save by using False Pass? 

[Pato del Muerto 52509]

They mentioned it when Jake took it but I don’t remember now. 

[DCA_HORN 725]

Now that I think about the wild bill russia thing, didn't they brenna a get his quota this year and why he is fishing cod right now?

[kevwun 15795]

I think it can save around 200 miles in certain scenarios.  It is the first break in the Aleutians that a boat can get through, but there are easier ones a little further south.  If the boats are coming from SE Alaska or the Pacific Northwest and have to go to Dutch first anyway before fishing, it doesn't make the trip shorter.

Money. Junior alluded to it, they can make $100k for a few days of fishing. 

[kevwun 15795]

And the cod grounds are close by.

I assume it's the bad weather/rough seas, but why haven't they deepened False Pass? 

[kevwun 15795]

That I have no clue on.  I would guess it's because it's not useful enough to justify the cost.

[billfromlaketravis 11510]

What’s the Casey/Josh split? If Casey is getting anything less than 70%, he’s absolutely getting screwed.

Narrator: Casey is getting screwed.

[billfromlaketravis 11510]

I’m watching the infamous Elliott Neese - Dodge Dakota episode right now. Holy shit, he was doing drugs while his dad, a former addict, was on the boat. Their talk between strings was a tough watch. 

Also nobody burns heaters with his feet up in the wheelhouse better than Josh. Casey drives the boat what, 95% of the time?

[T’Boo Ted Marshall 2732]

I’ve posed this question before and was never answered. Is Josh a licensed Captain? I don’t think he is, hence the need for Casey.

[ss13 1832]

Google doesn’t give a clear answer, but don’t think Keith would have done this if he wasn’t. 

Quote

Last opies, Josh’s resolve was tested when Captain Keith offered him the position of relief captain on the Wizard while he recovered from his illness.

He and Casey co own the boat

[ss13 1832]

Along with two others, but that doesn’t answer Ted’s question.

I believe he is, as hard as it is to believe.

There’s a two marathons this coming week. Discovery Channel on Tuesday and the weekly Animal Planet marathon on Thursday. 
 

I’m watching the 2015 season right now. Danny Chiu on the Time Bandit was Joker level batshit crazy. 
 

The Elliott - Jake phone conversation was great. Just two giant douche bags transferring the command of a boat. “Sup doggie”!

Elliot is a massive piece of shit, but i have a little respect for Jake now. At least he tries to take care of  his family.

[kevwun 15795]

I think Jake has mellowed a lot the last couple of years.  There is no way that the guy who first took over the Saga would have Matt as his deckboss.  How many fights did those two get in to on the Northwestern?  Now they work well together and Jake lets him do his job.

[Chewbacca 7780]

Why did Matt leave the NW?

[kevwun 15795]

I wonder if he got son-in-lawed?

[ss13 1832]

Did Clark rise up from greenhorn? He is certainly entrenched now.

That's what i assumed

Looks like "The Legend" tries to sink his new boat next week.

[ss13 1832]

Ha, I’m about halfway through, was gonna say Senior picked an odd time to make his first camera appearance. 

Edited June 17, 2020 by ss13

[ss13 1832]

Weird thing is Josh appears to actually have a clue the rare times he's in the big boy chair. It's the other 97% that he's useless. 

[Nole-4-Life 804]

Accidentally deleted this week's episode on the DVR. Anyone know how soon DIscovery.com has it up?

[billfromlaketravis 11510]

Only Jake would be on the crab and have to slow down fishing because of a backed up shitter. 

Yeah, looks like an exciting episode for Junior next week. Looked like a ton of water.

Thanks...checked a couple of hours ago and it wasn't there yet.

Mandy Hansen ain't bad looking.There I said it. 

In the repetitive drugs are awful post,  I just read that former Maverick captain Blake Painter died in 2018 of an apparent drug overdose. Seemed like a good guy.

It seems like most of the young captains on the Deadliest Catch have or have had drug demons. Captain Sean Dwyer being a notable exception. Seems like he comes from a really good family.

[ss13 1832]

I’d give Mandy more than “ain’t bad looking”. 

[ss13 1832]

“Maria is out cold in the freezer.” 

 

Lot of action in the first twelve minutes, & we still got all of Junior’s drama coming.
