Remember when they used to show badass fishing in the Bering and focused on the crew instead of this soap opera horseshit?

So someone here may know more definite and I could be way off on this one, but i call bullshit on them shutting down the fishing for 2 years because "if they don't catch the quota the fish and game may decide there isn't enough in the fisheries."

Maybe under normal circumstances with full boat alottment out there that would be the case, but I would think they will realize the amount caught is lower because of fucking covid times.

Gotta create that drama.

Funny we didn’t hear the same during the GOP-controlled govt shutdown in 2019.

100% agree.  Swamp People does the same thing.  Every season there's a major crisis.

Who thought Jr’s wife was going to look like that??  Answer is No one!    That’s not the real mom of the 25 year old daughter is it, they made you think it was then not so much so idk?  

Yeah she was damn cute.

And just when I thought someone had probably left Harley bleeding in a ditch....

Yeah, zero chance, she was WAY too calm. If that was her 4-year old granddaughter in danger, shit would have hit the fan. 

 

They should send Mandy to run the Lady A.

Yesh, the Legend is going to take a bath in that deal. 

Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

I thought at the end of last season they were showing teasers with Josh indicating he was going to be coming back on to the boat.  Guess they figured out that might not be such a good idea.

Jake Harris hasn't been on the show in a long time.

It's really weird watching Nick during king and bairdi knowing he won't be around for snow crab season (or ever).

Yeah i didn't figure him for 50, but thought he was at least 45.

I figured last season's "war with Russia" was the most absurd storyline they could create. Then this year they had the "the fishery will dissappear without John Hilstrand!" 

But no, we top that off with Sig, Keith, etc. all acting as if Josh is the best fisherman ever and knows all the secrets and is the key to finding crab. Fuck off, producers. 

And I'm sorry, but every fan of this show has long since moved on from Phil Fucking Harris.  Stop it with the Harris family.

Yep i am 10 mins in and this is some of the most contrived fake ass drama i have ever witnessed lol

Holy fuck, this. And they made the second hour to record the old-ass, dumbass episode about CM. 

Did some googling and the crab fisherman were trying to get Bairdi season extended back in April because they had only caught 46% of the fleet quota and the season was closing soon.  They got told no.

But o was told Josh Harris singlehandedly was saving an entire fishery?

After Keith picked up supplies from F/V Discovery Channel, a segment they aired no less, the show lost any semblance of reality. 

You mean one of the filming ships being close by and having a spare part and giving it to them so they don’t sink was the breaking point?  Of course they have a couple filming ships how else did you think they got footage of the boats fishing?  If you did know then are they suppose to just film the boat sink?  So many questions with that being the breaking point.   It’s drama (egged on or created) and editing what they want you see that’s fake.

I haven't watched the last 2 episodes. They're recorded, I just don't care anymore. New season of Alone starts this week.

He got a bilge pump from a film boat, but he also got bait.

Does Harley ever find his own spot to fish?! Every year all he does is set next to someone who is doing good, he seems like he’s terrible at crabbing.

I watched next week’s episode early on Discovery +. I don’t want to spoil it, but it’s a good episode. 

Well, we know at least part of it is about Nick. Will be nice to get a true 2-hour one again.

He runs the (iirc) 2nd largest crab boat in Alaska and runs it for Trident. He knows what he's doing, DC editing be damned. 

Yeah, the show is about 90% fake tv drama at this point.  The only thing real are the crabs.

Wouldn't put it past them to have some dummy crabs pulled in pots for B roll.

They all work for Trident. Casey's Dad is a bigshot for them. They all do what they're told and put on scripted drama between boats to make a TV show. Pretty sure that's why Andy left the show. He has FU money. This season got so bad I stopped watching 2 or 3 episodes ago.

He's a little different because Southern Wind's a straight-up Trident company-owned boat. He's just an employed captain of the corporation, not a independent owner (or part of a group) like the rest.

Man Wild Bill getting the news of Nick right before flying to the harbor that sucks!  Why in the hell is he fishing cod instead of crab at the start of the winter season?  That can’t be near the same kinda money.  Seeing how happy Sig was when Mandy came back was awesome.  Johnathan hires a def and blind in one eye guy with a bad attitude lol.

Because the crab quota will still be there when cod is done. There are boats that fish cod every year.

Watching Bill all choked up over Nick when he's pretty much shit on his own son makes me want to strangle that asshole.

Damn strong of Anderson to handle the family part of that memorial. 

I have mad respect for Jake. He's become a man and a good skipper the last couple of seasons.

We'll probably never know for sure, but if Bill didn't call his son after Nick died, he's one of the biggest assholes alive. 

He’d blame his son for not calling him.

Imagine what his son felt watching it.  Even if he doesn't watch the show, I'm sure that has been passed along to him.

Yep. Poor kids mom must have pissed off bill big time for him to still be such a dick to his own kid. Very sad.
