Winter season
is upon us.

And we have Super El Nino
that's been forecast.

It's almost unheard of.

Okay, folks,
here comes Super El Nino.

A weather anomaly
on the horizon that threatens

to bring increased
pressure low systems

to the Bering Sea
fishing grounds.

Experts project
increased precipitation,

strong tides,
and a surged wave height.

We're gonna have bigger storms
down in the south,

right on the bairdi ground.

Which means a lot of wind,
which means a lot of waves,

which means a lot of danger.

But I know exactly where
I'm going right now.

That's my own secret.

All right, guys, good.

Roger!

Going 30 hours north
to catch our crab

is a huge gamble
and a huge risk.

So try and get as quick
as they can,

and then get to town.

It's gonna get ugly.

But you knuckle up,
then you just keep fighting,

no matter what happens.

Oh, baby.

This is it! This is it!

Whoo-hoo-hoo!

Whoa!

Whoa!

What up, what up, what up?

Go, go, go!

Are you all right?

That hurt so bad.

Watch the rail,
watch the rail!

Ah!

♪ There once was a ship
That put to sea ♪

Dutch Harbor, Alaska.

Abort the Aleutian Lady.

Wake up, wake up, wake up!

This will be fun
once he gets up here.

Yeah, the sense of urgency
is lost being at the dock.

You got your suit, Breedlove?

Your suit.

Go get your [bleep] suit.

Okay.

We were gonna make this quick,
but I'm [bleep] pissed.

It's a [bleep] general alarm!

You get your ass up here!

That was bull

You're my chief!

If this was an emergency,

and you took three gosh damn
minutes to get up here,

it is not okay.

This is about safety.

We are gonna have
some [bleep] weather coming.

We need to be on point.

So, I want everybody
to get your suits on.

I'm gonna time...
Do you have your suit?

I'll go grab it.
- Go grab your suit.

Sorry to be pissed, man.

For what?

He was up here
getting everybody up.

Okay, Breedlove,
do you want to get off

the [bleep] boat
and not be here?

- Do you?
- I'll...

Well, that's fine.

I got many people
that want to take your spot.

When you're doing a drill,
you have to be professional.

It's when you find out
who you can count on.

You can't always just be
joking and clowning around.

Nothing productive
comes from it.

As it is right now,

bairdi is our next battle.

I have to produce,

and we're gonna have
these massive lows

bring cold air, high winds,
huge seas.

So, we have to be on point.

We have to be
safety conscious.

But I can't go out and fish
if I don't have a chief.

There's a lot
of unknowns now.

Let's hope we can
pull these pieces

back together,
but we shall see.

Across the island.

It's not the old
Dutch harbor I know.

Times have changed.

We just got done
with our king crab season,

and the fact that there was
a lot of crab,

you know, was a lot of fun.

Now we're gonna start
our western bairdi,

and with the younger
generation involved,

it's starting to look like
we're gonna have

some boats out there,

which means
a lot more competition.

With the western
bairdi crab price

spiking to $7 a pound
at the dock,

and over 50 bucks
at your local grocery store,

new vessels flood
the now $8.6 million fishery.

It's a big span of real estate
that you gotta cover,

and I want to try to keep
my expenses down.

Captain Sig Hanson
is looking to avoid canvassing

the 75,000 square mile
fishing grounds.

At least on his own.

I know Jake Anderson
was fishing

western bairdi in the fall.

He's already taken a whiff,

you know,
he's already got that scent.

Information is key.

It can fill boats
if you're working right.

Across the Bay.

...sand this,
that drives me nuts.

If I had the choice,
I would like my boat

to be built by Lamborghini
or Ferrari.

You know, suede everywhere.

We're gonna go out
for 140,000 pounds
of western bairdi.

There's a lot of crab,
but I know exactly where

I'm going right now.

I gotta prove to these owners
that I got what it takes.

The only captain to sleuth out
the western bairdi biomass

this past November
was Jake Anderson.

Now he's looking
to catch 140,000 pounds

in the upper latitudes,
showing bosses who's boss.

The hell is going on?

It's cold!

What does he want?

Hey!

Do you want to come down?

No, I don't want to come down.

It's [bleep] cold out here.

Yeah, well, I'm not jumping
on that thing.

I'd have to use a crane to get
on it in the first place.

What do you want?

I'm just picking brains,
just trying to get some info.

It is not gonna be easy.

Well, did you get west
of St. Paul?

I've been everywhere.

West of St. Paul?

I'm not gonna say yes or no.

Did you get on the west side
of the bar?

I'm not saying any more.

I get it,
but you're talking to me.

Yeah, I know.

I'm just trying to decide

if I should stay close
to the beach

or just head for the hills.

That's all I'm doing.

I don't need a bearing.

I just want...

You know how this is.

You just gotta find that
above average and grind, baby.

All right,
I'll see you out there.

You know, I've learned
a few things myself.

Young man.

All right, boy.

Have fun!

You know,
the funny thing about Jake

is he doesn't get
"I know people."

I've been here a long time.

I know every damn Norwegian,
Icelander,

everybody that's been in this
town before he was born.

There's more than one way
to get information

if a guy wants it.

Hey, buddy.

No, it's been too long.

I was just on your boat.

She looks good.

Your new captain, by the way,

said that you might have
some information for me

on how things went
in the fall.

360 miles northwest
of Dutch Harbor.

Aboard The Wizard.

All right, guys.

Gonna be a pain in the ass.

Top of the stack
is completely covered.

Up forward,
the mesh is all sealed in.

The seas are up.

Don't worry about scrambling
to get one over if I be.

Just get it over when you can.

Just be nice and safe
out there, okay?

Stay warm!

Just overnight here, we've

definitely taken
some ice on board.

And, you know, just to make
the work area safe,

we've got to chip
a bunch of ice

and get all that off of there.

Heads up, son.
Rice coming your way.

We need to find something
to run out of the gate

and then get to town.

I'm gonna just try and get
as quick as I can.

Racing a parade
of Super El Nino-fueled

low-pressure systems
and a super-sized fleet,

Captain Keith Colburn
prepares to set

his first pots
of the winter season

80 miles north
of traditional grounds.

We are definitely
the lone ranger out here.

It's too early
for this

It's too hold.

It's locked in.

Okay, let's go.

All right, so we're...

Okay,
we're gonna... Okay.

Then we'll get in place

to start setting
these pots off, okay?

Hard enough working
up there to begin with.

Now everything's frozen solid.

You're colder than hell,

and your body's just fighting
to stay warm.

Days like today where you
contemplate life decisions.

Okay, guys,
let's go ahead and get

this first one off here, okay?

Ready!

Going over.

Right on.

Oh, there's another big swell.

Stay sharp. There's some
big comers out here, okay?

Yeah, all right.

Oh, man, I'm gonna be
one happy camper

when I get this gear
off the boat.

Whoa, hang on, guys.
Coming on the port side.

Just hang on for a second.

Whoa!

Whoa, whoa, whoa.
What happened?

On this deck.

OJ!

On The Wizard.

Take this, will you?

All right, I'm on autopilot.
Get us into the weather, okay?

Can we get out there
real quick?

Feet first here.

All right, ready?

Slide him around.

Slide him around nice
and easy. Get his upper body.

Nice and easy.

When you lower him down there.

Get him down.
I'm going all the way
to the deck.

Ready, Gary?
Yep.

You guys got him?

Keep his neck secure.

Keep his neck secure.

Right over here. Just get him
right here real quick.

Is he even blinking
or anything? What the

What's going on here?

Put one guy
under his neck right here.

Okay, let's go do it.

OJ, don't move! Don't move!

All right, guys.

You're going to have
to wrestle him through here

and get him into
the house, all right?

Ready?

Keep coming straight.

You got another beam
coming right now?

Right now, right here, okay?

Take it easy. Just make sure

you don't let
his head move, okay?

Get him in, get him in.

Get him in.

Nice and easy. All right.

All right.

Just sit right here, okay?

On three. One, two, three.

Um...

OJ, where are you right now?

Okay.

Let's get the rest
of this gear off him.

Okay, here we go.

- Ah.
- Oh, whoa, sorry.

Will you take it off
yourself, then?

Oh, all right. Um...

That's blood.

- Oh, wow.
- Okay.

Just give me a paper towel.

I'm seeing...

Uh... All right. Okay.

No, OJ?

I can see a little nick,
all right?

Don't worry. It'll look good

when you get
your next mohawk, all right?

No.
You're not good to go.

You're not going
back out right now.

We've got to treat this
like a concussion.

All right, guys.

I'm going to keep
an eye on him, okay?

Okay.

We've got to get this gear
off of him.

Roger.

Nice and safe.

You know, I don't know
if he's got

traumatic brain injury or not.

He seems perfectly normal.

But... He's too proud
to show any sign of weakness.

He's not going to let
anybody see that.

So I'm not taking any chances.

Get this gear in the water.

And make sure
everybody's in good shape.

I love this place.

It's just beautiful.

Looking out my office window.

Look at this.
I can't make this up.

I grew up on the end
of this pin,

where we're heading right now.

My parents had
a little cabin out there.

Most kids had bicycles.

We had skits
and outboards, man.

We ripped this bay up.

So many memories.

We grew up
like Tom Sawyer, man.

It was amazing.

Two days after
returning to his hometown...

We had a king crab season
finally this year.

We did really well.

So now we're going to do
golden crab.

That's Derby style, too.

Catch as much as you want
till the quotas gone.

Side-stepping
the bairdi crab fleet

by hunting 130,000 pounds
of golden king,

Captain Johnathan Hillstrand
readies to pioneer

the remote fishing grounds
north of St. George Island

for the first time
in his 43-year career.

The guys are out on the boat
getting everything ready.

We'll pick our pots up
on the way by King Cove,

and we're ready to go fishing.

Russell!

We got Heron.

We got Heron, yes.

- We got all the food.
- We got food.

We got shots.

Mother

I thought we had a line on
something that fell through.

I don't wanna
think about it.

Ah, okay.

Okay, I'm coming aboard.

I thought he was going
to come through.

He said no problem,
and then... well,
now it is a problem.

Forced to rely
on cod to lure in crab,

John opens his gear to attacks

from parasitic crustaceans
known as sand fleas,

rumored to infest
the far reaches
of the northern grounds,

devouring fish-based bait.

Hey, Russ.

Well, I hear, John,
that there's nothing

going on up there
with the sand fleas,

so hopefully what I'm hearing
is true.

Really?
There's no fleas?

We don't go
by other people's reports,

but you want to put your money
where your mouth is.

Your bait where your mouth is.

If there's sand fleas,
you eat some bait.

I'll take your bet.

Freddy, I'm not sure
what I just did right there.

Are you guys ready
to get out of here?

Roger!

Right on!

Cut her loose.

Roger, Captain!

Fish on, Captain!

Yeah!

I'm going fishing
without squid.

I've never done that before.

Hopefully, there's no fleas.

We'll see what happens.

We can throw
the lines anytime.

All right, here we go.

Whoo!
Get it, baby!

We're heading
to an area that Jake seems
to think he's got figured out.

That being said, I did speak
to the owners of the boat.

And we've got some intel
of where to go,

see if we can, uh, get
our share of that pie.

I just wanna get
this boat off the dock.

Especially with Sig
asking questions,

the competition's
gonna start growing.

So it's... it's time to go.

I know exactly
where I'm going right now.

Just gotta get
the pots in the water.

We need to go
start making money.

Right here. Okay.

How you doing, man?

I get waking up
to a general alarm

and then getting cussed out.

It isn't cool.

But it's a safety thing,

and I mean,
I want you on the boat.

But if you're gonna be here,

I gotta have you fall in line

and actually do
what I say, man.

All right, dude,
let's do it.

Let's get ready
to throw lines.

We gotta get out of here.

After all
of our drama this morning,

it's good to finally
be making headway.

We've got a massive storm
from... coming in.

So, we gotta get these pots in
the water as quick as we can.

Ah.

What's up, brother?

Hey, I'm gonna go
look at it real quick.

Ooh! [bleep]!

Ah, hey, Breedlove.

Wanna come here
for a sec?

Damn!

Okay,
suck her up.

Drop it.

On the Aleutian Lady.

Guys are working
on the anchor winch.

If this goes,
I can lose my anchor.

I can be in bad weather,
trying to anchor up.

The anchor would not work,

and it's just a safety hazard.

So now
that we've got the anchor

and the chain
off the boat,

that relieves
all the weight
that's on the drum.

So now I gotta
get it opened up

and start taking it apart

and getting down
to the, uh, culprit
parts inside.

All right, you ready?

I was not expecting
to be in town right now.

I need to have
this thing tore apart today

so we could try to flip around
as quick as we can.

We gotta get out to sea.

It's time to fish.

This is not how I wanted
to start this year.

315 miles northwest,

on the western bairdi grounds,

aboard the Northwestern.

We're definitely
getting close.

We're heading into
an area right now

that Jake seems to think
he's got dialed in.

The good news is,
we're out here first.

This boat is a lot faster,

and, uh, I don't have
my AIS on.

So you can't track me
on the computer.

Gotta be strategic,
a little tricky.

That's part of the game.
Always has been.

Pull that shot out. Yeah!

Yeah! There you go.

You know, I did speak
to the owners of the boat.

And, uh, you know,
they gave me a general area
of where to go,

and this could make
the difference between

a good season or a bad one.

All right, let's set.

Yeah!

This is not just
fish, pull pots,

it's strategy,

and usually,
it's the first guy out
that has the best odds.

So we're gonna see
what's going on in here

and, uh, keep
our fingers crossed.

Just three miles
to the east...

...on
the Titan Explorer.

All right, this is it.

Top of the season,
getting ready to set.

My deck is looking good.

The crew is looking good.

I think I'm gonna crush it
this bairdi season.

We got
Super El Ninos this year.

Storm after storm,
it looks like.

So far, there's no boats,
but soon there will be,

so I've got no time
to mess around.

I'm sticking with my plan.

I like these areas
west of Saint Paul,

so that's where
I'm gonna start.

I know these crab are here.

I start prospecting
in the fall.

And I just need to make sure
that I'm the only one here.

Yeah, we're ready!

Let's set 'em.

Let's go [bleep] get 'em.

Going over!

Whoo!

Catch some crab!

What?

There's gear in the water.

What the [bleep]?

There's another one!

...gear that is?

Four-ten,
four one zero.

Mother [bleep]!
Pot for [bleep] pot,

right where
I was gonna [bleep] lay.

!

That's it, I'm calling Sig.

Just two miles west...

aboard the Northwestern.

Nice, big, big crab!

Oh, yeah, that's what
we're looking for.

Yeah!
That's what
I was talking about.

Oh, hey, Jake.

There's no [bleep] way
you could find this.

- I'm the only one
that [bleep] knows--
- Well, I got my feelers out.

It's fishing. Come on.

I spent 50 [beeps] grand
trying to find
this stupid [bleep] crab!

You know, it only cost me
a phone call.

!

! Damn it!

On the Titan Explorer.

[bleep]!

! Damn it!

You there?

I guess he didn't like that.

Stop everything
down there, guys.

What we're gonna [bleep] do
is, is we have all our
longline stuff in the stern,

all our lines back there,

just grab one of those lines,
open the longline door.

Run a line
from the stern to that bag.

Tie it off,
and we're gonna
create a [bleep] fence.

It's a reverse longline.

Whoo! Yeah!

- Roger.
- Roger.

To cut off Sig from the rest
of the fishing grounds,

Jake sets
an inverted longline string

so the drop line that normally
sits on the sea floor

will instead float
to the water's surface,

forming a two-mile barrier.

You wanna set us up?

Yeah!

Let's [bleep] do it.
Yeah!

Sig wants
to play hardball,

that's [bleep] fine with me.

I'm tired of getting
pushed around by Sig.

He thought he was
gonna come out here
and steal my spot.

He's got another thing coming.

In Dutch Harbor...

...on the Aleutian Lady.

Guys are working
on the anchor winch,

they're jamming real hard.

We just gotta bust a move.

It is time
to just turn this around.

I mean, I wanna be
out there fishing.

I wanna be out there
hauling gear and making
all of us money.

That's French,
concerto uh, Lydia.
It's a French aria.

All right, guys,
let's fire up the hydros
and run that thing

and see how she sounds
and looks.

The moment of truth here.
Let's see if she hauls.

Hey! No.
Right there?

Yeah!

Oh, yeah, baby!

Nice.
Yeah!

Oh, sweet.

Hell, yeah!

Whoo!
Whoo!

It looks good, no leaks.
All the seals look good.

All right,
we're out of here.

I wanna start jamming
and getting product
on the boat.

Time's ticking,
and I gotta get it done.

340 miles away...

northwest of
St. George Island...

on the golden
king crab grounds...

Poke the
out of the tuna cans...

put one of those
in every pot.

...aboard
the Time Bandit.

We made it up
to golden grounds,

and we're just
getting the bait ready.

Just about ready
to set our first pot.

And it's better
if you have squid,
but we couldn't get squid.

So I'm stuck with herring,
which fishes

about eight hours,
and it's gone.

Little bitty holes in it
so that it'll leak out.

They make
a timed release bait jars

that... that dissolve,

that will release
the bait.

Then you can battle
these sand fleas better.

I don't have
any of that onboard.

Just have a bunch
of tuna fish on here.

This would be sort of like
the same thing,

a little strand
timed release bait.

See if that works.

Yeah, let's go!

Go ahead and let her go
when you're ready, Russ.

Going over!

Whoo-hoo!

Hopefully, we're on
to something.

126 miles northeast,

in the heart of winter's first
Super El Nino-powered storm...

...aboard the Wizard.

Take it easy.

How you doing?

You all right, huh?
Yeah.

How does your head feel now?

Just press on it,
and it should, like--

I mean, I didn't even
put a butterfly on this.

And there's
no swelling either.

I don't know...

Yeah, I don't know.

All right, OJ,
any change whatsoever,

you feel any feeling
of getting sick,

nausea, vomiting,

you need to let me
know immediately.

Okay.

Stay safe.

- All right, uh--
- Throwing in here?

Yeah, let me dive in there.

I'll tell you what,
it's been a lot of work.

The guys have done
a great job.

But they are just beat up.

So it's good
we've got OJ back

to work on deck
for a little bit

at a reduced capacity.

OJ, well,
how you doing, buddy?

I'm working way too hard.

Get over here and help me out.

The first pot of the season.

Here we go.

We need to find something
right out of the gate.

We're racing to go in early
to get our crab off fast.

Come on, man. Come on!

Go make some money!

You land on big numbers,

this is gonna be over
before we can even blink.

That's what
we're trying to do.

Time to get us
that crab, man!

Come on, something.
Give me something there.

On the Wizard.

Come on, something.
Give me something there.

Hey! Yeah!

Look at the size
of these beauties!

Right on.

Whoo!

Oh-oh! Oh, yeah,
they're big, too.

Looks to me like they're all
good, clean, big bairdi.

We got a lot.

There's some
big ones in there.

Okay, here we go.

All I want is for you
to make me smile.

We can live on that.
No problem.

Whoa!

Whoo!
Look what's on the boat.

Those are the crab
we wanted, so right on.

Come on, bairdi!

Yeah!
Whoo!

They're big!

That's [bleep] bad-ass.

Oh...

I like that. I like that.

Yeah, right on!

Whoo!
Whoo-hoo-hoo!

yeah!
61, baby!

And bang,
we are in like Flynn.

Roger, roger.

Let her out.

Going over.

I'm happy to have OJ
out here fishing with us.

Yes! Yes! Yes!

And we're gonna get
our crab off
ahead of the fleet.

120 miles southwest...

on the golden king
crab grounds...

...aboard the Time Bandit.

Thank you, brother.

You remember the bet?

I like our chances.

So we have a chance.

We got the first pot
coming up.

And see
what we got, Neal.

Russell guaranteed me
this is not a sand flea here.

If...
if there's sand fleas,

he's got to eat sand fleas.

So, I wanna see some crab.

I'm looking
for the big score out here.

Come on, big crabber.

Aw.
Aw, man.

One last [bleep].

Aye, aye, aye, aye, aye!

One.
One!

That does not pay the bills.

Damn it.

Ah! Ouchy, ouchy.

That's sand fleas again.

This is what some of these
bait jars are coming up with.

Like, thousands
and thousands of sand fleas.

Get on up
to the dinner plate, buddy.

Bon appetit, Russell.

Bottom's up.
Let her go!

Oh, Russell!

Oh, yeah. You gotta
chew it up and eat it.

Oh!

Yeah!

Dude! Yeah!

Okay, it's all forgotten,
all forgiven.

- Hey!
- Yeah!

Whoo! Russ is back!

Oh, my God,
those guys are funny.

At the end of the day,
we've still got a problem.

This is not
what we were looking for.

That didn't work out
very well.

I gotta figure
something out here.

...helping us get out of here.

In your name. Amen.

Amen. Whoo!

But right now
I'm right on the border,

and we're running
a little bit behind schedule.

Our anchor winch screwed us.

There you go.

It's a good thing
we were able to fix it.

But right now...

,,,I got to set all this gear
and start hauling.

You just got to do
what you got to do.

Tango four ready.

Whoo!

We're actually
fishing now.

Now all I got to do
is hope and pray

that I put these things
on a good spot.

We shall see.

I've been
all over this canyon,

but I've never been
on that little hill there.

It's a round mountain.
Looks like it's an
underwater volcano.

The right depth's on it,

and hopefully it's not
sand flea like this spot.

...keep bringing them up.

Pull it over, baby!

Maybe they're out there
having a luau by the volcano.

Who knows what crabs gonna do?

Maybe they wanna have a luau.
I don't know.

We're on
the Pacific Rim.

It's the ring of fire,
you know,

from Hawaii to Alaska,

all the way around
the Aleutian Chain.

How do you know that [bleep],
Russell?

When I just kid, my mom...
I got whipped for
playing with fire.

But I'm playing
with fire, Mama!

Ready!

Let's get it, baby!

Get ready to set
a reverse long line.

Going over!

Seventeen years
this guy's been jamming me up.

If I can hold Sig at bay,
I'll hold the ground,

then I can fish the area
that was mine!

Coming out, coming out,
coming out, coming out,
coming out, coming out!

I got my punch in!

He won't even know
what hit him.

On the
Northwestern...

All right.

You got about a mile or so
just till that first bag.

You want some coffee?

- Yeah. Do you mind?
- Yeah. Gotcha.

Seems like it's coming up
a little bit, isn't it?

Yeah. It's been getting worse
the last couple of hours.

Turns out,

you know, I didn't have to
talk to Jake about anything.

What the hell?

Here you go.

You see that?

There, see it?

You see that?

Hold on.

There's a buoy right there.

What, is it just a buoy
floating with the line?

You know what I mean?

What the...

All right.
Can you get closer and see?

Yeah...

What is that?

Yeah, what is that out there?

There's
a big "T" on it.

- What, like Titan?
- Yeah.

Ha!

I mean, it goes on forever.
It goes all the way.

That's intentional, man.

That's crazy!

It'll get in the wheel.

Why is this guy...
damn it!

This looks like a long line
of bags and poly.

Somebody is up to something.

I think he's trying to be
a little smart guy here.

That's what's going on.

Are we gonna
do anything and get back?

We'll pick it up and just
lace it through his pots.

Let him deal with it.

This is Jake's little...

If I'd have got that
in my wheel,

we'd be
out of business right now.

Give him a taste
of his own medicine.

Just one and done.

Right there.

We are re-gifting.

Throw that
over the side.

All right, Jake.

You can have it back.

Let's get through.
Go do our business.

And see how he likes that.

234 miles
southeast,

in the southern tendrils
of the storm...

Yeah,
it's getting awful!

...on the Aleutian Lady...

The weather
keeps intensifying.

The super El Nino
is kicking our butts
right now.

I bet we get gusts
hitting 100.

Whoo!

But with us rolling
in the turbulent water,

no more rest for the wicked.

I'm battling wind,
I'm battling the waves,
I'm battling the current.

We're all alone out here.

That's why
I'm fishing right here.

I'm not sure
what we're gonna see yet,

but we're about to find out.

Yeah, baby!

That's a nice pot.

Yes.

There are so many
damn crab in that pot.

Yeah.

Well, thank you, thank you.

Yeah!

Hell, yeah.
That's what we want.

We might have found
the mother lode here.

All right, guys.
Let's set it back.
We're staying.

Yes.

Going over.

Is everything okay?

Ugh!

I took a spill on the deck,
fell into the scupper.

And it definitely didn't do
my back any favors.

I gotta take a break.

Come on, cowboy up.

Yo, bro. What's up, man?

Uh... I'm not exactly sure.

I tweaked something
in my back.

Like a pulled muscle
or something.

But if it is just muscle,

man, relaxing
and taking it easy

is about the only thing
you can do.

All right.

All right, bud.

I legally
can't say anything.

I can't tell you
to go back out there.

And I got a sneaking suspicion

he is acting a little
over the top.

You know, I was just telling
the other guys,

manage your expectation
with someone like Breedlove.

He's too used to
making excuses.

Nobody's gonna like it.

It's just so much
more work for the guys.

But you just gotta do
what you gotta do.

What the hell?

What the [bleep]?

What?

The picking hook's
in the water.

Damn it!

How high up is it?
Can we reach it?

So where is the line?

Oh, did it go all the way in?

- All the way in.
- In?

Yeah, it parted,
like, way up here, dude.

I mean, we got a bunch
of extra line on that...

- Yeah, we have a line--
- We probably got enough.

But to reinstall
that line

all the way up to the top
of the picking boom,

you have to hook somebody
up in the crane.

But that's not an option
out at sea like this.

- We can't.
- Yeah, that's it.

- We're done.
- That's the issue.

We got to go anchor up.

And...

damn it!

Not mad at you, dude.
I'm just frickin'...

It's always something.

We got
a huge storm upon us.

Let's hope there's crab here

the next time we come
to haul these strings.

Right now,
it's just a race against time.

260 miles
northwest...

...on the
golden king crab grounds...

Volcano set...

So we're gonna see
what we get here.

Hopefully it's not sand flea

like all the rest
of that [bleep] yesterday.

I mean, who knows?

There's a lot of damn crab
on this volcano.

That could save us.

The clock's ticking.

I got to perform.
I got a lot of pressure on.

A lot of pressure over here.

It's the hot seat.

Fifteen average today,
that'd be wonderful.

Come on, big boy.

Come on, big boy!

Yeah!

Crab, crab, crab, crab,
crab, crab, crab, crab.

Crab, crab, crab,
crab, crab, crab, crab.
Crab, crab, crab, crab.

Those are nice, big,
big, fatty crabs, man.

Oh, my God,
what's that on the table?
A crab.

Wow!

Twenty-eight!

Twenty-eight, yeah!

Twenties, we could make
a living out here.

- Whoo!
- Whoo!

See what we got
in the next one.

Mother lode, baby!
A mother lode!

Jackpot, yeah!

jackpot!

Ah, thank you, God.
That's a godsend.

Okay, so the next one
should be down there.

This is right where
this one should be.

Hang on for a sec.

I don't know what the...

That's just the way
the [bleep] mountain marks.

Freddy's going up on the bow
and finding them.

Yo, right there!

Right there!
Whoa, whoa!

Right there! Yeah, baby!

Yes, that's our pot.

No problem.

Oh, yeah, oh, yeah!

Yeah, baby!

Get up, baby!

Ba-ba-baby!

Yeah!

Put us on some crab, man.

Holy schmoly!
What's going on?

Look at this pot here!
It's got a big hole
in the back of it.

- Got a hole in it.
- It's got a hole in it.

okay.

Go ahead
and we'll double action
off the launcher

and fix the [bleep] hole.

- Okay, you're clear.
- Coming up.

Holy!

Holy moly.

Let's fix that hole
and get a good count
on them crabs.

It's burnt?

- Yeah!
- It's burnt!

It got hot down there.
Something got hot down there.

The [bleep] is going on?

Aboard the Time Bandit...

What in the world?

No, it's not [bleep] burnt.

It got hot down there.
Something got hot down there.

The [bleep] is going on?

Is that crab cooked?

There was two or three
in there that got hot.

We obviously sat
on some kind of
hydrothermal vent.

You know, where
the tectonic plates separate

and the seawater goes in

and creates steam
and hot water.

Hydrothermal vent?

It's a
is a hydrothermal vent,
he's saying.

It's a [bleep] volcano.

Where'd you come up
with all that [bleep]?

Seventh grade.
Seventh grade.

The tectonic plates...

Well,
let's fix that hole

and get a good count
on them crab.

This is sort of
a scary thing here.

I don't want my crab
to cook and burn.

I mean, some of those
can be too hot

and they can die in the tank.

Thirty-two
filling that pot, baby!

Thirty-two.

They like
that little bit of warm water,

you know, they just
can't get too close to it.

They get burnt.
They done get burnt.

Ai-yai-yai.

See this? It's deeper here.

It shallows up
into this little

half a mile round thing.

The burned pot's right there.

There's a lot of crab there,

and I don't want to burn
all my pots up.

Yeah, well, don't dump it.

We're not dumping it
back here.

I'm gonna move it over...

Roger!

I'm taking a risk here.

Going over.

There we go.

Okay, send it back, guys.

We're gonna set all around it
and see what happens.

We're creating
our own ring of fire.

Darn right. Time Bandit style.

I like that.

♪ It burns
Like a ring of fire ♪

Going over.

Hopefully we don't burn all our pots
around the edge of this.

I'll record this volcano
while we're doing this.

345 miles
southeast,

just outside Akutan Harbor...

on the Aleutian Lady...

Akutan isn't the best place
to anchor up.

Especially when you've got
heavy, heavy winds.

But it's pretty much
our only option.

We're gonna drop anchor
and hope that
we're able to hold.

All right, let's do it.

Let's sling a guy
up in the crane

and run the line
through the cable guide

and then up through
the trolley up on top.

But let's be careful, man.

Tie him down really good,

and please don't smack
anybody's head
into the picking hook.

On anchor
in 40-knot winds
and 12-foot swells...

Captain Rick directs the crew
to attach a new picking hook,

threading a line
through the boom arm
35 feet above the deck.

We honestly
can't waste any more time.

- We'll get going on it.
- All right, man.

It's gonna be a bit sketchy.

It's gonna be tough
not having a chief.

Having Breedlove in the bunk
is gonna hinder us.

These guys are gonna
have to pay attention.

I'm trying to take it easy
best I can

and let the guys
be my hands. And...

it is what it is.

We've got
our friend Nico here,

hero of the morning,

to go up there
in the basket and do it.

We're gonna have Nico
get in the crane basket,

strap him onto the crane.

Would you like this tighter
or is that good?

- That's good.
- Okay.

We really need
him to be careful.

But in doing this,

it'll make it
so we can keep fishing.

All right, let's do this.

Okay.

We can be as safe as we can.

It just takes one "oops"
to completely ruin somebody.

- Huh?
- Go.

The crane's made out of steel,
the picking boom's
made out of steel.

If any part of Nico
gets pinched between those,

the only thing
that's gonna give is Nico.

Whoa. Whoa, whoa.

Wait, wait, wait. No.

Hold on to it.
- Wait, wait, wait.

Yeah, holding up.

Nice!

Yeah, Nico!

Bring me down. Bring me down!

- All right.
- We're good.

Now that we've
got the line through,

we got to tie our backup
picking hook on

and we'll be ready to
rock and roll. So...

Nico,
you're my hero!

It's time to haul gear.

All right, guys.

Let's pull the anchor.

We need
to get back out there

and hopefully
we can just start jamming

until we're full.

316 miles northwest...

on the western
bairdi crab grounds...

All right, let's get it going.

...aboard the Titan Explorer.

A reverse long line
is basically no different

than a regular long line,

except the line doesn't lay
on the bottom of the ocean.

It floats. It's a fence.

This is my area.

He doesn't need my crab.

Let's see
what we get out of it.

There's some.

yes!

badass.

All right,
here comes another one.

Let's see what's in this.

Whoo!

Oh, my God!

Holy [bleep]!

We're in the meat,
mother-[bleep]!

Whoo!

Here comes another one.

Yeah, baby!

Whoo!

Yeah, we're [bleep] in on 'em.

Yeah!

I'm just happy
we're getting crab.

It's a good start for
the season.

That's on.

Like taking candy from a baby.

It's a line! There's a line!
The line!

The wheel!

Is it in the wheel, Felipe?

Oh, hey!
Come on!
Come on! Come on!

Damn it!

On the Titan Explorer...

I don't know
if I should put it in gear.

I don't know
what the [bleep] to do.

There's like 5 miles
of line here.

Can you get a hook on it
and see if the line's tight?

, Sig, dude.

Let's go! Let's go! Let's go!

If this thing
is stuck in the wheel,

I could have to get a tow
and be done for the season.

That's it.

Fired.

Okay, I'm not putting it
into gear!

, it's in there.

I don't know.

I have line cutters
on this boat,

but before I start torquing
on anything down there,

let's go through
the easiest, simplest ways

without trying
to hurt the boat.

What we don't want to do
is wind it up in the shaft.

Okay, I'm gonna put it
in reverse, then cut it.

Tell me when.

Oh, [bleep].

We're gonna try to get
the line to the portside now.

Oh, my God. [bleep]!

Bonehead of the Year Award.

That's it.
... We're done.

guys get on the stern
and look at it?

We got caught
on our own [bleep] trap.

Bad juju, man.
That's what you get.

That's gonna slow me down.

And now I'm gonna kill
the whole [bleep] day

trying to dig it out,
hook, line and sinker.

And now I'm [bleep].

Sig just has to take me out.

I don't know what it is.

40 miles southwest...

on the golden king
crab grounds

aboard the Time Bandit.

Okay, it's coming up.

Here's our volcano set.

First volcano pot coming up.

Geographical [bleep] bed.

- Hydrothermal, this pot.
- Let's go.

We're above the pole, right
where we saw the melted pot,

and I moved over
a quarter mile

and then I set
15 pots around it.

So, we'll see.

Let's hope we see
some crab legs...

this first pot.

Whoo!
Think crab, baby.
Think crab.

Let's go! Let's go!

We got crabs!

Yeah, baby! Look at that!

That's our volcano trap, baby!

Volcano!

Yeah, baby!
Oh, big dogs!

Forty-two!

42 crabs.
Big boys, baby!

42! 42!

If they hold out,

I'll have 'em all back
in the water

and hopefully
get another pick.

Come on!
Big crabs, baby!

Got crab legs! Got crab legs!
- Whoo!

Whoo-hoo! Good job, guys.

Good job.

Okay.

We're gonna set 'em back.

We're gonna try
one more time here.

Pickin' and dumpin'.
Pickin' and dumpin'.

Pickin' and dumpin'.

Pickin' and dumpin',
my friends.

I mean,
we're having fun right now.
We're making this work.

I hope we get another
pick out of this,

and then I got
to make a delivery day.

We pulled
the volcano pot first.

It was a sacrifice.

A volcano.

Unbelievable.

Whoo! Sometimes
you just do the right thing.

Sometimes you don't.

I go, "This could be the
stupidest thing we ever did

or the smartest thing
I've even done."

264 miles southeast...

Right here is where
the buoys should be.

So I'm looking all around,

seeing if it drifted
with the current.

...aboard the Aleutian Lady.

I mean, bags going down
is all part of fishing.

But we have so little time

to get this dialed in
and get pounds on the boat

that we really need
to catch a break.

Next pot has

We should be right on it.

And I don't see it anywhere.

Current's pushing towards us.

There is no pots up.

There's no bags.

The current's ripping.

It's just dragging
everything down.

And now I've got a whiteout.

It's not helping at all.

It's going out.
The visibility is really...

it's really slim.

I mean, I'm honestly
just kind of...

I'm at a loss right now.

Something's really
gotta change

or I'm gonna be in trouble.

- Cheers, baby.
- Cheers, baby.

This is gonna be
funnier than [bleep].

It ain't easy to eat
a whole can of tuna, dude.

Anybody want some mayonnaise
and some bread?

Oh, my God.

Freddy's [bleep] just
kicking his ass, ain't he?

Yeah.

Did he win?

Yeah, baby.

- Love you, brother.
- Love you too, man.

Could have used some
mayonnaise
and some bread on that one.

Tastes like some good
chicken of the sea.

Yum!

While the Time Bandit
stuffs their mouths,

the Wizard stuffs her tanks

to the tuna $188,000.

120 miles north
of Dutch Harbor...

on the Aleutian Lady.

It's going out.
The visibility is really...

really slim.

So right here is where
the buoy should be.

It should be right here.

Right there.

Shoot.

The way it's looking,

I just can't fish,

the one thing I want to do.

The one thing I need to do,
I can't do

All right, boys. That's it.

We're gonna
call 'er quits, man.

Aw.

Strings being down,
not being able to haul,

it's just like
everything is against us.

Mother Nature,
timing, the boat.

And Breedlove,

his back's still bugging him.

To be honest,

but I'd rather
bring up a new chief

than have him hinder us.

So I gotta go to town.

I mean,
when it rains, it pours.

230 miles northwest...

...aboard the Titan Explorer.

You got an update for me?

- You have the buoy?
- Yeah.

If you can get it up,
then do that.

You know,
we'll [bleep] a bunch,
and spit the rest of it out.

Okay, sounds good, Captain.

Oh, [bleep].

Forward!

Okay, I'm gonna
try to cut it now.

Now, I'm just gonna go
full throttle.

Come on, bitch.

I got it out!

There's no line in the wheel.

Relieved.

And considering
I have 140,000 pounds
of crab to catch,

I definitely don't want
to have to deal with Sig.

I just can't do it anymore.

We're just gonna keep
moving to new ground.

Just 3 miles west...

All right! All right!

That's fishing.

I love it.

There's more meat on the bone.

Let's see what old Jake
is up to here.

I'm pretty sure I got
my own line in my wheel.

I wasn't trying
to be malicious, man.

No,
I was trying to be malicious,

and I was [bleep] around.

gonna get you
with that one, not myself.

Well, I mean,

I'm hoping you have
a good season.

And, uh, you know, just

All right.

Okay. Bye-bye.

It's a dog-eat-dog fishery.

But sometimes
helping somebody else

is easier to deal with
than fighting.

I get it, man,
your back hurts.

But I can't have you
on the boat

and these guys pick up
your slack.

You've got to go home.

I understand.

I apologize for the way
it's played out.

It's not been my best season.

It's not something
I did to you on purpose.

All right, man.
We'll get packed up.

I'm gonna call our office,
get a flight lined up.

All right, man.
Thank you.

Now I'm down an engineer.

I got to start
making some calls,

get a chief up here
in a day or two.

I got to get this crab caught.

And me waiting at the dock,

waiting on a chief

isn't going to cut it.

Crabby, crabby, baby.

Man, watch out!
Watch out!

Nice-looking crab.

Nice-looking crab there.
Big one.

Nice and clean.

26,000 pounds, which leaves us
about 14,000 pounds to catch.

And if the numbers look
anything like what we saw
when we left,

we should be
in pretty good shape.

Holy [bleep]!

Aah!
Look at that, baby.

Holy crap!

That's a good pot!

Hail to real crab!

Couldn't get
any better than this.

Hell yeah,
baby, we gotta go back!

Thank you, Russell Newberry,
for all your information.

These spots are on fire.

Now the Ring of Fire
is on fire!

Forty-one!

Oh, dude! Hoo-hoo!

Oh, my God.
I gotta call my mama.

I'm playing with fire, Mama.

Coming up
on the 20th winter season

of Deadliest Catch...

Look at 'em!

Now!

I have no clue
how to run a crew.

Watch the rail!
Watch the rail!

Good job.

We have
the worst storms we have seen

in my 38 years.
