Coming up!

No.

Damn it!

What are we gonna do?

Whoa.

Just got word that the processors are gonna quit processing.

Wow, wow, wow.

Canneries are starting to close down,

you know, they wanna send their people home for the holidays.

But a lot of guys are still fishing.

And so you're fighting to get the crab, number one,

and you're fighting the weather,

and then, you know, you're fighting time.

We're really in trouble.

We miss that delivery day, we might lose a bunch of crab.

On this set, we're going to put a little bend in it.

We win or we fail.

Going over!

When you set this, you didn't go where we talked about.

A little bit of free will there.

It's not like I'm stealing 'em.

Hey, listen. Don't touch our gear.

Run, run, run, run.

- Yeah! - Yeah!

Yeah!

210 miles northeast of Dutch Harbor.

First spot's coming up.

On the Northwestern...

So, we're up on our northern-most string.

Get 'er done!

Right at the end of our trip, we just need to get this done.

Could use a little luck on this one.

Racing to deliver his remaining 10,000 pounds of crab quota

before processors close,

Captain Sig Hansen and his daughter, co-captain Mandy Hansen

bet on strings running north from 64 to 70 fathoms.

I don't wanna do this Eastern Bering run in the winter.

It's just more risky, we need to make this happen.

Here we go.

I hope this string hits, man.

Womp-womp.

No. That's not gonna do it.

- Man. - Kinda weak.

- Fifteen. - Maybe.

- 15 crabs? - Yeah. Roger.

All right. Number two. Let's see what she's got in her.

Come on, baby.

Yeah, baby.

There's a few. Small, but there's some crabs. There's life.

It's getting better.

All right! Keep going!

At least we're getting some info.

- Hold! - Much better.

That's what we need right there.

- 39! - That's awesome.

I know there's crab just right up here.

But I didn't get any more pots that way.

And problem is we don't have enough gear to start prospecting right now.

Whoo! 37.

I need more pots.

If Harley's got a string right there,

all you wanna do is just bump it up.

Just 4 miles southeast...

Whoo!

Whoo!

So we're just hammering them.

Hey if this keeps up, cowboy, we'll be going home soon.

You'll be calling me Cowboy Jack.

Aboard the Barbara J...

25 hours right now.

We got another 10,000 pounds to put on the boat.

That's quite a bit of crab.

Targeting 60 thousand pounds of family-owned quota,

rookie skipper Jack Bunnell, alongside veteran Steve Harley Davidson,

hauls a 20-pot string set in the northern bairdi grounds.

Okay. Bring it up.

I just wanna make my dad proud.

Yeah! Looks good. Got some crab in there. It's a big boy.

Damn good, girl. Damn good.

Yeah, I got you.

This is Jack.

Saw you guys in the area, and we're out of gear.

We got nothing but soak, and right around this area, there's a pretty good sign.

I was thinking maybe you could send a few of those pots I see.

Just up to the north a little bit and do a little prospecting.

Well, I appreciate that,

but we're on a pretty good average,

I think I'm just gonna hang out right here

and grind up what we need and get out of here.

I hear you. I understand. It was just a thought.

I'll catch you on the next one, okay?

Yeah, you bet, bud. Good luck.

Can't run around and waste a day

spot-checking everything and not putting any crab on.

We need to haul a lot more pots

and just grind, grind, grind.

I understand, you know?

It's like, you can grind away,

then you finish up and you get it done.

But, if I'm right,

you're gonna get it done twice as fast.

The only problem is they don't wanna play ball.

What if we play ball for them?

What if we borrow their pots?

I mean, it wouldn't be like we're moving them that far.

It's not like I'm stealing 'em.

It's just a mild bump.

I agree. It's just a little bump.

Hey, get ready. We're gonna haul some pots.

Yeah, buddy!

I just didn't say whose.

215 miles west, aboard the Time Bandit...

Hawaiian hula.

Look at Freddy. That's one scary hula girl.

You can't miss your delivery day,

especially when your crab are this old.

I don't have time to mess around.

- Here we go. - Yeah!

With his sights set on a million-dollar fall season,

Captain Johnathan Hillstrand takes aim at his final 5,000 pounds

before hustling his 10-day old crab back to Dutch.

Come on. Come on.

Come to papa!

Give it to me, baby!

Coming on deck.

Got a pot, coming up!

Yeah, we got crab legs. Yeah.

That was a good pot.

Bunch of females just came up,

it looked like a really good pot.

Zero males.

Yeah, stack it.

Females, we got one crab for a hundred, that's 1%,

and they could take your whole load.

That's a $25,000 fine.

All the deckhands could get fined 5 grand each.

Might be a little too shallow.

Okay, here we go. Pot number two.

Let's go, baby!

Okay. The males are going out deeper, I think.

Sometimes female, and the next thing you know, a bunch of males show up.

It's all a little deeper.

Last one, brother.

That's a good pot there.

Really good find.

Just a little couple fathoms means a lot sometimes.

I mean, the crab is gonna be two weeks old.

And I don't wanna keep them any longer than that.

John's choice? Safely run his weakening catch to town

or stalk the biomass and risk dead loss.

Yeah, baby! Whoo!

If the king crabs aren't alive, it's poisonous.

Kills all the other ones in the tank, too.

You know, last year we made some good money,

but this year, it really needs to count.

Well, let's do it and go home.

We're gonna set three strings. Right in between 200 and 240.

And then all our gear will be tied together.

Okay, guys. Be careful, be safe.

Let's get them in the water and go home.

- Roger! - Yes!

Get as much crab as I can,

don't hurt nobody, and come home safe.

Is all I can do.

Hope we don't have any dead loss.

Going over!

Big pot going over.

185 miles southeast,

in Dutch Harbor...

- Beautiful. - That's gotta go under.

Is there a couple nice, strong pallets anywhere up on the dock

so we don't have to around trying to find pallets?

- Roger. - Yes.

Delivering $126,000 of eastern bairdi crab,

co-captains Linda Greenlaw and Wild Bill Wichrowski

stack on an extra 30 pots for their final push on the grounds.

Bill, how did we make out?

We made a little bit of money.

We caught what we were supposed to and then some.

Hey, that's good news.

We probably gotta take off in about 40 minutes.

I heard Erik may have screwed his hand up in town.

Doing what?

Is he able to work?

I guess that's a question for him, it looks like a mess.

We need him, we can't really afford to try to find somebody right now.

Right on. Yeah.

I don't know, I've done whole seasons with broken bones.

Hopefully he'll come back from the clinic

with a good report and a fistful on antibiotics, and we'll get out of here.

Doctor says my hand has a small break from the top.

And the doctor looked at me and told me

he doesn't recommend me to work.

I'm really just gonna tell the crew it went a little better

than it actually went.

There's no possible way

that I'm not going crab fishing.

In Dutch Harbor...

- Hey, Erik. - Let's see.

What'd they say?

Um, they just, they gave me antibiotics,

and um, he says I should take my meds.

We're okay.

It's just a bone in there that...

Did you break that?

So you punched something and broke your hand.

Something like that. Allegedly.

Yeah, let's see.

- It's ugly. - Yeah.

But I have all the functionality of it.

All right, well...

- You're in it now, man. - Yep.

- I don't wanna hear anything about your hand. - All right, I'm ready.

Now get your gear out, we're gonna throw the lines.

Hopefully he'll, you know, keep getting better,

'cause he's gonna do nothing but aggravate it once...

- He's always gonna be doing it. - we get going.

We need to be on our way. You ready to go?

- Yeah. - Super ready to go, yeah.

- I'm more than ready to go. - All right.

Here we go. Let 'em go.

We're out of here.

Updraft? Easy peasy.

440 miles southwest.

Two days steam from Dutch Harbor.

Whoo!

Near Adak Island.

We're getting rich!

There's some good numbers. Healthy fish.

Dude, look at that.

On the Saga...

I'm gonna go home, and I have my own boat to run this winter.

So I just have to keep the big goal in mind,

and just take in all the experience I can.

- Wow. - Baby!

This is the last pot of the string.

I think that went really well.

How many fish did we get?

1,800.

- Nice job. - Thank you, boss.

With four days till their scheduled offload,

captains Jake Anderson and Sean Dwyer,

with skipper-in-training Sophia Bob Nielsen on deck,

take aim at their final 150,000 pounds of black cod quota.

That was where our best fishing was here, it was in 380.

But the problem is it's three tight little spots.

Getting here and here.

If we wanna get in a steady flat of 380-yard depth,

- we have to go a round trip in 26 miles. - Yeah.

At least we're getting close.

We're gonna have to get creative on this one.

What do you think about this little spot right in here?

It's tight, but that's what we want.

I don't understand how you think you're gonna fit everything in that crater

when we have miles and miles of line.

You're doing it with the mouse, bud. It's a circle.

- Circle? - Spiral it in there. Yeah.

The chances of you losing them are just real high.

I don't wanna risk $22,000 in lost steel.

Honestly, we're running out of time.

All right.

But I ain't doing it.

We're going to do something a little different on this set.

We're going to put a little bend in it.

So, it's gonna be a little goofy going over to the side,

but just keep your wits about you.

- Roger. - Roger that.

Aiming at a cod-rich depression just a half-mile wide,

Sean sets in a corkscrew, gambling a high pot per square foot

will return a high fish per square pot average.

I just hope that all the pots aren't tied off

in one big pile that snaps off while we're hauling.

Okay, you can throw the bags when you're ready.

Let her rip!

Whoo!

Here we go. Cranking the turn in.

God, I hope those bags don't get tangled up.

Up now, here we go!

Tossing in.

These have been big fish,

and if we can hammer this spot, I think we're gonna get them.

We're in before the plants close, and we're out of here.

Either we win or we fail.

600 miles northeast...

Whoa!

Do it, boys!

Just a little test spotter. This is our furthest north string right now.

On the Barbara J...

Seems that the crab came up here.

We're getting a solid 25 average on some of the other ones.

We're getting there, we're getting close now. Just get 25, man. 25.

With these canneries shutting down,

we've gotta see if we can get our number,

and get in there and get in line, offload.

Let's see.

I don't know where this buoy is here, I'm not seeing it.

I guess a tenth of a mile off your port side there.

I don't see nothing on this side.

We can't see this first one,

let's see where the hell the second one is.

Coming up on the second one. 600 feet to the port again.

Should be right here?

Yeah, it should be right here.

- Nothing? - No.

Sig, you on here?

Hey, Harley, I got you.

Hey, man, my pots were here and they're gone.

You wouldn't know what happened, would you?

Yeah, I know, I'm looking at you. I moved them.

You did what?

I just bumped 'em up the hill we talked about, just a couple of miles.

I just didn't have the pots to go try it, but all signs lead this way.

Stand by, I'll get you the bearings, is that all right?

Yeah, I guess, I gotta have my pots back, so...

Hey, listen, don't touch our gear.

Hey, listen, don't touch our gear.

On the eastern bairdi crab grounds...

Yeah. No, I just can't believe he did that, but all right.

That's crazy, man. That's just unacceptable.

You know how it is. You got a hunch...

- A hunch with your own pots, not mine. - Yeah, right?

They're gonna hit, man. I'm telling you.

I'm hoping. They better.

Yeah, they better.

If they hit, great. Everybody wins.

If they miss, well, then I got a scrap coming my way.

There better be some crab in 'em.

She's coming up. She's coming up.

At least they were where you said they were.

- There it comes, right here. - What do you got?

What is this? Nothing in this one.

- Nothing? - Doesn't look like hardly anything.

We got no crab. We got no crab.

Yeah, awesome work, Sig. That one had zero crab.

Well, give it a chance. Let me know what's in the next one, okay?

Sig wouldn't this bad, would he?

He had a hunch, he had a hunch for a reason.

You can see, he's getting down in that gully now.

Come on, baby.

Dude.

Yep, second one. Four.

Four crab. This is awesome.

They'll be there.

Just be patient.

See what this one does.

It's getting better. Let's go.

Look at that! On the upswing, man.

- Look at that one. - That's pretty nice.

That's a dandy.

Sig, pretty damn good pot.

No kidding.

Yes!

Eighty plus. That's a short soak. That's big.

Let's go grab our gear.

Pick 'em up, and let's go north.

Let's napalm this . Let's hit it.

Going over.

Who knows how big this area can be?

You know, it might be good for both of us, right?

Hopefully we'll find something.

90 miles southwest.

On the Summer Bay...

If it gets worse, we're just gonna have to amputate.

I understand.

I got a hatchet in here. It's a little rusty...

- I sharpened it up the other day. - Yeah.

I got my tetanus shot.

You know, we've been working at 74, 75, 77 fathoms.

With 12,000 pounds of quota still to catch,

captains Wild Bill and Linda Greenlaw

ready a final 30-pot barrage

125 miles north of Dutch Harbor.

In 2.5 or 3 miles, we'll set.

Roger.

You wanna put them a little more shallow?

How about trying this one in 67?

The deep water's been pretty bad.

Well, the bottom looks good at 69, the contours.

Lot of eggs in a basket there.

I've been wrong before, but...

Okay.

- Let's see what happens. - Roger.

Well, can I spell you for a while and set a few?

Sure. Set 'em off at sixth of a mile to the east.

We'll get them in the water, and...

See you in a bit.

All right, guys, get ready to set it.

Positive. Let's go.

Now we got Bill down on deck.

I'm not too surprised.

Bill's always willing to get his hands dirty.

That's what makes him Wild Bill.

We haven't tried a lot of 67.

It's a fairly flat type of bottom that they're liking.

Yep. I'm gonna shoal it up a little more.

- Let it go. - Roger.

Don't call me Roger.

It's going over.

We don't have many differences of opinion, but you know, there are a few.

I may be a rookie here in the Bering Sea, in this crab fishery,

but I'm no stranger to fishing.

I mean, my God, I've been fishing lobster traps since I was 8 years old.

Going over.

Bill and I want the same thing.

We both want to put crabs on the boat and go home.

170 miles northwest...

Coming up.

Yeah, look at my shot!

Look at that.

On the Time Bandit...

We set everything we have, all our pots.

And we're right in between 240 and 220.

So, hopefully, it comes up good.

We might have a problem. We might lose a bunch of crab.

Resetting gear 20 hours away from Dutch Harbor,

Captain Johnathan sprints through 15-foot waves

to haul his final three strings of the season.

It doesn't give us much time. Come on, crabbies.

Big snag.

We need block assistance.

Yeah, keep doing that, Freddy.

- Think we can get around it? - Yeah.

Tangle ups are just not good. Nothing good about it.

Give me a sec.

This is dangerous.

God help us out here.

No, no.

Hang on, guys. Run, run, run, run.

- Go! - Watch out.

- On the Time Bandit... - No, no.

Hang on, guys. Run, run, run, run.

- Go! - Watch out.

You guys okay?

Good job, guys.

Holy moly.

All right.

This is all getting really dangerous. If all of a sudden that knot comes out,

and you have your hand in a loop, lots of guys die right here.

Get pulled over board, pulled under,

and then you gotta grab the line

and when you pull on it, it only gets tighter and rips their arms off.

Come on, baby. Come on.

We got you now, you.

- Yeah, baby! - Yeah!

There we go. Now we got it.

That was nerve-wracking. Very stressful, that one.

We work safe together, nobody got hurt, got it in.

That's how we do it. Teamwork, Time Bandit style, baby.

Back in action.

Come on, baby.

Let's get it aboard!

Boo.

That doesn't do nothing.

No.

I had high hopes for this, but it's not coming up too pretty.

Ouch.

Just gonna keep fishing, hold my head up high.

It's all I can do.

No good.

Damn. Nothing.

We're out a quarter-mile deeper.

Hope we get us some better numbers right here.

- Come to papa! - Come on up.

Better find something quick.

Coming in.

Yeah, baby!

Looks pretty good. That's back in the numbers we need.

Yeah, baby, look at that!

That's a huge crab, dude.

Yeah, baby.

Hell yeah! That's a good looking pot.

Yeah, baby! Look at that! Yeah!

Look at that, those are big. Holy smokes!

Ooh, we're on 'em, baby. When you're on 'em, you're on em.

Golden boys.

The white and blue string hit, saved our ass.

Woo-hoo. That's a lot of crab love.

Love to be there and kiss every crab. We love every crab.

Boss!

This will be the longest we ever held a hull of crab for.

So hopefully everything works out.

215 miles east.

This is cooking right here.

- There's lots of crab. - Yeah.

After an unrequested assist from Sig,

Jack and Harley zero in on the last 750 pounds of their eastern bairdi quota.

Whoa.

What the hell was that?

What is this?

Say that again?

It says, "Thanks for gear, you're welcome."

The nerve?

- The nerve. - Wow.

Big crab!

Looks good?

That is really good looking bairdi.

There's some volume.

Keeper.

They're like 4 or 5 pound crab. It's amazing.

That adds up so quick.

Instead of a cheap Christmas card this year,

maybe I owe Steve an actual gift for a change.

All right, last pot.

Flame on!

- Hit it. - Don't miss.

Whoo!

Good one.

Bairdi!

Yeah!

600 miles southwest.

Sean, I can't find these bags.

A spiral stream.

On the Saga...

All right, maybe you got better eyes than I do.

Or maybe I see twice as well.

Well, I'm... honestly, I said that you were gonna lose them,

and I kind of want that to happen

for some weird, sadistic, egotistical reason.

I'm just being honest 'cause you're my friend.

Okay, well,

I set the string in a spiral, pretty unorthodox.

It felt right at the time, but I don't know.

If this thing comes up as a big Volkswagen Bus-sized knot, I'm screwed.

We're gonna have to get out of here probably after this string.

Because looking at the weather and how it's gonna be,

that's two full days at least, steaming.

It's crunch time.

I found it, Sean.

Right there.

Off we go.

First pot.

It's our last hope. Let's see.

Got it!

We'll see how this thing goes.

God, I hope this pays off.

Coming up.

On the Barbara J...

"Just sit here, Jack, I'll teach you how."

Get one of those laughs.

Captain Jack learns the wicked snicker.

From the wicked skipper who perfected it.

You're gonna get it.

There you go. Now you're getting it figured out.

The kid's a natural.

On the Saga...

Coming up.

What do we got?

If this doesn't come up in a tangled mess, I'm gonna feel very lucky.

We need this play to work

in order to get to the goal line.

We got some, baby.

It's loaded, Sean.

Whoo! They're big!

Good sizes in here, damn.

Big!

It's banging, dude.

- 148 big fish. - 148 big doggies.

148 $100 fish.

So big!

It's working. The spiral is working.

It's solid.

Look at them, they're huge!

So we're just gonna drive in a circle all the time, now?

I don't know if my stress levels can handle that.

Whoo!

Yeah, dude.

- We got 'em. - Nice!

Look at it. They're pretty freaking big.

We did it.

We're headed in.

All right. Good job, everybody.

On the Summer Bay...

This stuff's really shallow here.

Is this the right string?

When you set this, you didn't go where we talked about.

We were going 69, and you went 67.

A little bit of free will there.

No.

A seven?

Yeah. Good answer.

Hopefully we finish our trip.

Pretty good there, hotshot.

Hell yeah, look at all those keepers.

They look like nice crabs, too.

Erik seems to be hanging in there.

I don't care how tough you are, that hand has to hurt.

I don't wanna let my crew down here.

I gotta hand it to him for working through the pain.

Hey, Skippy Donald, how about 67?

Looks like a good spot.

Pretty certain we're gonna have what we need and then some.

- You did a good job. - Yeah.

In Dutch Harbor...

Survived another one.

Lot of nice big crab this morning.

It's pretty good. Abby's gonna be pretty happy about it.

Hey, Abby. We've had twice as good as last year.

Got some crab pots.

You did good.

Thanks for coming out, man, helped me a lot, man.

Okay, Abby, I'll give you a call when we get home.

Okay, sounds good, man.

- Did we hit it? - We hit our number, dude.

Yeah! Nice.

Plus a couple hund.

Yeah, that's awesome.

60,280.

- All right. - There you go. That was a good delivery.

Now we just gotta get ready for the next deal.

We got all our stuff in, next trip for this boat, it's gonna be a cod boat.

I was gonna ask you if you wanna do it, Jack.

By myself? In the wheelhouse?

This is you, man, you make the choices, you make the calls,

you're the guy that's in charge. You're number one.

I don't know if I wanna hug you, kiss you, or what.

- I'm excited. - No, we're good with handshakes.

You're good, man. You got it. You can do this. We're good.

I gotta call and tell my dad.

- Hey, Jack. - Hey, Dad.

- It's official. - You took the crab off?

Yeah, we got the crab off, we hit our quota of 60,000 pounds,

and Harley's letting me take the boat for cod.

Nice! Good work. We're all so proud of you, bud.

I just had to call and tell you, Dad.

I love you and I'll see you in a couple days.

Gotta go tell my crew.

All right, sounds good, bud.

- All right, later. - Bye.

This one's for him.

But it ain't over yet.

I've been summoned, Capitan.

I just wanted to let you know I haven't forgot about you.

We share similar stories,

and our trauma... going through it can't be easy.

I know that.

And I really respect that you're trying to carry on

what your father and mother were doing.

I think maybe somewhere in your head,

you don't think that you're strong enough somewhere, but you are.

You know, I believe in you.

I know your parents believe in you.

And I'm real proud of you.

Thanks, Jake.

I'll do my best not to disappoint.

Well, you haven't yet, so...

That being said, get the out of my face.

Peace.

- Thanks for the coffee. - Yeah, no problem.
