IF WE CAN GO AND HIT THIS BAIRDI HARD,
I COULD BE IN A PRETTY GOOD POSITION TO BUY THIS BOAT.

I'LL GO TO KODIAK.
KEITH'S NEW CRAB, NO MATTER WHERE IT'S CAUGHT,
IS UNDER CONTRACT TO BE DELIVERED
500 MILES AWAY IN KODIAK, ALASKA.
WE'RE GETTING CLOSE. I NEED 1,200 MORE CRAB,
WHICH MEANS WE NEED ABOUT A 25 OR 30 AVERAGE THROUGH THE GEAR.

NOT QUITE THE AVERAGE WE NEED, BUT LET'S KEEP PULLING GEAR.

VICTORINOX KNIVES.
PROBABLY MORE STITCHES
IN THE BERING SEA AND ALASKA FROM FISHERMEN
BECAUSE OF THESE LITTLE KNIVES THAN ANYTHING ELSE.
AT THE SAME TIME, THAT KNIFE'S PROBABLY
SAVED MORE LIVES IN THE BERING SEA
THAN ANY OTHER THING EITHER, SO...

MONTE, LET THESE GUYS DEAL WITH THIS, OKAY?
I GOT TO DEAL WITH ROGER'S HAND RIGHT NOW.
THERE'S A POSSIBILITY I MIGHT HAVE TO PUT
A COUPLE STITCHES IN IT.

[ LAUGHS ]
Narrator: HIS DECKHAND PATCHED UP AND READY TO ROLL...
ALL RIGHT.
...DR. KEITH GETS BACK TO HIS DAY JOB
CATCHING HIS KING CRAB.
YEAH!
Keith: BOYS ARE ANTSY AND READY TO GO, THOUGH, AND SO AM I.
LET'S GET THIS GEAR HAULED, GET IT ON,
AND GET THE CRAB THAT'S DOWN.
WE'VE LOST A LOT OF TIME,
AND INSTEAD OF COMING INTO KODIAK DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS,
WE'RE GOING TO BE COMING IN AT NIGHT.
I HAVEN'T BEEN IN THAT HARBOR IN YEARS.
I HAVEN'T BEEN THROUGH THAT PASS IN YEARS.
IT IS A NARROW, SKINNY PASS, AND THERE'S A LOT OF ROCKS.
IT'S NOT AN EASY LANDING.
BIG BOYS! BIG BOYS!
ALL RIGHT, STACK THEM UP.WHOO!
LET'S GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE.
OH, YEAH, BABY![ CHEERING ]
â™ªâ™ª
Narrator: 225 MILES WEST...
Harley: OKAY. LET'S GET THIS SHOW ON THE ROAD, BOYS.
...ON THE SOUTHERN WIND...
YESTERDAY, I WENT THROUGH 120 POTS,
AND I STRUCK OUT SO BIG-TIME.
I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT.
NOW I GOT TO DIG MYSELF OUT OF THIS LITTLE HOLE I'M IN.
I'M GOING TO GO MOVE TO THE WEST A BIT AND SEE
IF WE CAN'T COME UP WITH SOMETHING.
Narrator: ...EARLY INTEL HELPED CAPTAIN STEVE "HARLEY" DAVIDSON
MAKE QUICK WORK OF HIS KING SEASON.
WITHOUT THAT ADVANTAGE,
HE'S BARELY MADE A DENT IN HIS BAIRDI QUOTA.
Harley: COMING DOWN TO THIS AREA, I'VE HEARD GOOD REPORTS.
IT'S RIGHT BY THE BLUE CRAB PROTECTED ZONE,
SO I'M RIGHT ON THE EDGE OF THE LEGAL AREA.
Narrator: THE 8,500-SQUARE-MILE CRAB PROTECTION ZONE
IS ILLEGAL TO FISH, MAKING IT ONE OF THE MOST CRAB-RICH
STRETCHES OF THE BERING SEA.
Harley: AND SO I'M GOING TO JUST GET THESE CRAB
RIGHT AS THEY'RE COMING CROSS.
THAT'S WHERE I'M GOING TO BE.
Narrator: BUT THE CRAB AREN'T PRIVY TO THE STATE'S BOUNDARY LINES,
AND HARLEY'S PLAN IS TO SCOOP UP ANY BAIRDI
THAT CROSS INTO THE LEGAL WATERS.
â™ªâ™ª
-OKAY, YOU GUYS READY? -YEAH.
â™ªâ™ª
Munsey: YESTERDAY WAS [BLEEP] DAY, [BLEEP] WEATHER, NO CRAB.
LET'S HOPE TODAY COMES TOGETHER FOR US.
Harley: LET'S GET THIS STUFF SOAKING AND SEE WHAT WE CAN GET.
â™ªâ™ª
[ EXHALES ]
[ BUZZER ]
â™ªâ™ª
Narrator: AS HARLEY EYES SUCCESS WITH A FINAL SALVO...
...110 MILES SOUTHEAST
ON THE BRENNA A...
[ MEN CHEER ]
COME ON, BABY!
...CAPTAIN SEAN DWYER LOOKS FOR A LITTLE LUCK WITH HIS FIRST.
â™ªâ™ª
AFTER DOUSING THE GROUNDS
WITH HIS KETCHUP-RIDDEN STEAK-FRIES SET,
THE YOUNG SKIPPER HOPES TO QUICKLY TANK HIS BAIRDI QUOTA.
I'M LOOKING FOR, LIKE, TWO CRAB AN HOUR.
IF I GET 48 CRAB OUT OF 24 HOURS, WE'RE LOOKING GOOD.
WE NEED TO JUST HAUL THIS STUFF QUICKLY
AND GET THE HECK OUT OF HERE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
Narrator: LOOKING TO MAKE A BIG INVESTMENT IN THE FAMILY BUSINESS...
Sean: IT TAKES ONE MISTAKE, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN,
YOU CAN KISS THAT BOAT DEAL GOODBYE.
Narrator: ...SEAN NEEDS TO SQUEEZE OUT EVERY BIT OF PROFIT
SO THAT HE CAN ADD TO HIS FLEET.
-WHOO! -COMING UP!
HERE WE GO! HERE WE GO!
Sean: WE WILL SEE WHAT THE POTATO GODS
HAVE IN STORE FOR US.
BE NICE TO US, BAIRDI.
â™ªâ™ª
[ SEA BIRDS SQUAWKING ]
Sean: FIRST POT.
Narrator: ABOARD THE BRENNA...
-WHOO! -COMING UP!
HERE WE GO! HERE WE GO!
Sean: WE WILL SEE WHAT THE POTATO GODS

-IT'S 91, BABY. -WHOO!
â™ªâ™ª
I SEE CURLERS COMING THROUGH.
Narrator: ON THE MEAT...
Sean: WE NEED TO HAUL THROUGH THESE THINGS AS SAFELY AS WE CAN.
IT'S GETTING A LITTLE BUMPY OUT THERE.
Narrator: ...SEAN AND HIS CREW MUST HAUL 200 POTS
WITH A BERING SEA BLOW BEARING DOWN ON THEM.
[ WIND WHISTLING ]
â™ªâ™ª
IT'S GOING TO BE TOUGH.
IT'S GOING TO BE GRUELING FOR THESE GUYS,
BUT WE'RE JUST GOING TO BURN THROUGH THIS [BLEEP].
RACE AGAINST THE CLOCK, AND IT'S TIME TO GET RUNNING.
-BIG WAVE. -Man: WHOA!
WHOA!
POT COMING UP.
â™ªâ™ª
HOPEFULLY WE CAN JUST HAMMER THROUGH THIS STUFF.
â™ªâ™ª
IF WE CAN GET 20 ON 200 POTS,
WE'LL BE ABLE TO START STACKING TOMORROW.
WHOO!
â™ªâ™ª
25 IN THAT ONE.
WE'RE DOING IT, MAN.
WE'RE JUST GOING TO TURN AND BURN.
YEAH! WHOO! ALL RIGHT!BAD WEATHER'S COMING, MAN.
JUST GOT TO GRIND THROUGH THESE THINGS.
â™ªâ™ª
Narrator: 115 MILES NORTHWEST...
Narrator: ...ON THE SUMMER BAY...
IT'S GOING TO BE A LONG DAY.
Bill: WE'RE ABOUT 5 HOURS FROM FINISHING THIS STUFF,
AND THEN LANDON'S KNEE GOES OUT.
AND IT'S BEYOND FIRST AID, SO...
AND I GOT AHOLD OF CASEY AND JOSH.
Narrator: ...AFTER DECKHAND LANDON CHENEY WRENCHED HIS LEG STACKING POTS,
WILD BILL'S BAIRDI SEASON HINGES ON A RISKY PLAY
TO BRING CASEY ABOARD TO SUB IN FOR A VITAL CREWMAN.
Bill: HEY, NICK, TIM, ERIC.
YEAH, BILL.
WE'RE ABOUT 2 MILES AWAY FROM THE WAYPOINT.
ALL RIGHT, CAPTAIN.
LET'S GO FOR IT.
â™ªâ™ª
OH, OH, OH!
-OH, YEAH! -NICE!
[ SEA BIRDS SQUAWKING ]
WHOOP, WHOOP. WHOOP, WHOOP.
[ RADIO SQUAWKS ]
Narrator: OFF THEIR STARBOARD RAIL...
THAT'S THEM UP THERE WITH THE LIGHTS ON.
Narrator: ...IS THE CORNELIA MARIE.
Josh: WE'RE SO CLOSE TO THE END.
CASEY'S GOING TO GO HELP WILD BILL OUT, YOU KNOW,
AND WILD BILL IS ONE OF THE FEW GUYS OUT HERE
THAT'S ALWAYS TAKEN CARE OF US.
WE'RE GOING TO, YOU KNOW, BUNDLE UP, JUMP IN MY SURVIVAL SUIT,
WALK OVER THERE AND STACK SOME POTS WITH HIM AND HIS CREW,
GIVE THEM A HAND.
Narrator: THE ONLY WAY OVER IS ACROSS AN EIGHTH OF A MILE
OF OPEN 34-DEGREE SEA.
Josh: YOU EXCITED, MAN?
I DON'T KNOW IF EXCITED'S THE WORD I'D USE.
SCARED [BLEEP] COMES TO MIND.
-SCARED? -IT'S KIND OF ROUGH OUT THERE.
EVERY OTHER TIME WE WERE [BLEEP] WITH THIS,
IT'S BEEN FLAT CALM, AND NOW WE GOT 12 FOOTERS,
AND WE WANT TO THROW CASEY OVER THE SIDE.
â™ªâ™ª
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE A LINE...
NAH, JUST TELL HIM JUST CHUCK THE HOOK AT ME.
TELL HIM I TRUST NICK.
CASEY'S PRETTY FIRM ABOUT THE THROWING HOOK
AND NICK THROWING IT.
â™ªâ™ª
I WAS COOL WITH THIS, LIKE, 3 MINUTES AGO, 4 MINUTES AGO.
NOW I'M NOT COOL WITH IT.
YOU'RE GOING TO BE MISERABLE.
THIS IS NOT A PROCEDURE THAT ANYBODY IN THE MARITIME WORLD
LIKES TO SEE FOR ANYTHING LESS THAN AN EMERGENCY.
PULL IT. OH, THAT'S GOOD.
IS THAT ALL THE WAY?YEAH.
GUARANTEED NO LEAKS?
â™ªâ™ª
Josh: ALL RIGHT, BROTHER.
â™ªâ™ª
-OH! -AAH!
Narrator: 290 MILES FROM DUTCH HARBOR...
â™ªâ™ª
-OH! -AAH!
OKAY, HE'S IN.
YEAH, ROGER.
I'M JUST GOING TO LET HIM SWIM OUT A LITTLE WAYS,
THEN I'LL GET OUT OF YOUR WAY HERE.
Narrator: TO HELP A FELLOW CAPTAIN IN NEED,
CASEY McMANUS BRAVES THE FRIGID BERING SEA
WITH NOTHING BUT A SURVIVAL SUIT
AND ITS INFLATABLE BLADDER.
â™ªâ™ª
AND HE'S GOING TO HOOK IT INTO A WAISTBAND,
AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO DRAG HIM TO THE SIDE
AND THEN SWITCH IT OUT FOR THE PICKING HOOK.
SOUNDS GOOD!
Narrator: WITH NO SAFETY LINES TETHERING HIM TO EITHER VESSEL,
POWERFUL NORTHERN CURRENTS
AND POUNDING 12-FOOT WAVES THREATEN TO SWEEP
CASEY OFF COURSE AND OUT INTO THE WILD NORTH SEA.
CURRENT'S STARTING TO RUN, MAN. HOLY [BLEEP].
â™ªâ™ª
YEAH! WHOO!
[ SHOUTS INDISTINCTLY ]
YOU GUYS GOT ROOM DOWN THERE? YOU ALL SQUARED AWAY?
[ LAUGHS ]
DON'T HIT HIM IN THE HEAD.
I'LL GO RIGHT OVER YOUR HEAD ON YOUR LEFT SIDE.

YOU'RE NOT LEAVING THIS GUY WITH ME, ARE YOU?
[ JOSH LAUGHS ]
JUST FOR A LITTLE BIT ANYWAYS.
â™ªâ™ª
WHERE DO YOU WANT ME?IT'S UP TO YOU.
I MEAN, YOU KNOW, WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF ROOM TO NEGOTIATE HERE.
YOU'RE DOING US A BIG FAVOR, CASEY.
ME, NICK, BOSS CASEY McMANUS, CAPTAIN OF THE CORNELIA MARIE?
â™ªâ™ª
Narrator: REINFORCEMENTS IN PLACE,
CAPTAIN BILL AND HIS CREW GET BACK TO WORK.
I'M SURE THE GUYS ARE APPRECIATING
THE EXTRA LITTLE BIT OF EFFORT THERE,
BUT THERE'S SO MUCH MORE TO DO, THOUGH.
[ SEA BIRDS SQUAWKING ]
â™ªâ™ª
Narrator: 100 MILES SOUTHEAST...

YEAH!
NOT BAD.
Narrator: ...ON THE BRENNA A...

WEATHER'S REALLY STARTING TO PICK UP...
WATCH THE RAIL, WATCH THE RAIL, WATCH RAIL, WATCH RAIL.
Narrator: ...CAPTAIN SEAN AND HIS WEARY CREW
ARE 125 POTS INTO A 200-POT GRIND.
-THAT WAS A BIG ONE, HUH? -YEAH.
YOU JUST DON'T ALWAYS KNOW WHICH DIRECTION
THOSE WAVES ARE GOING TO BREAK,
AND THAT'S WHEN IT CAN GET REALLY DANGEROUS.
LAST STRING.
WE'RE GOING TO FINISH THIS THING OUT TONIGHT.
BURN THIS THING TO THE END.
â™ªâ™ª
â™ª HEY! â™ª
Narrator: DESPITE BUILDING WEATHER,
SEAN CANNOT AFFORD TO SHUT DOWN.
WE ARE ON THE HOME STRETCH, BOYS.
HE CONTINUES TO PUSH HIS CREW
TO TANK HIS LAST FEW THOUSAND POUNDS OF BAIRDI.
OH, THAT'S NICE.

I KNOW THEY'RE TIRED, BUT...
GOOD TEAMWORK OUT THERE. EVERYBODY'S GOT THEIR RHYTHM.
â™ªâ™ª
THEY ARE HUSTLING.
â™ªâ™ª
WE'VE ALREADY HAD TO HAUL A LITTLE MORE GEAR
THAN WE THOUGHT WE WOULD TONIGHT.
â™ª THIS IS NOT SO TYPICAL, THE WAY IT ENDS â™ª
HOPEFULLY, WE CAN GET OUR NUMBER HERE REAL SOON.

I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU CAME UP AND DOWN.
THAT'S BADASS.YEAH. GOT THE STACK ON.
Narrator: AND AFTER A 24-HOUR GRIND, EACH DECKHAND POCKETS
A WELL-DESERVED $5,000.
155 POTS IN LESS THAN 24 HOURS.
ALL RIGHTY. THAT'S IT. GOOD JOB, BOYS.

120 MILES NORTHWEST...

THE WEATHER JUST KEEPS PICKING UP, YOU KNOW?
-WHOO! -WHOO!
BE CAREFUL THERE, BOYS.
Narrator: 120 MILES NORTHWEST,
THE 148-FOOT SOUTHERN WIND
BUCKS THOUGH 20-FOOT SEAS AND GAIL-FORCE WINDS.

WE GOT TO SEE WHAT WE GOT.
Narrator: AFTER A 2-DAY SOAK...
FIRST POT COMING UP.
...HARLEY'S COUNTING ON THIS STRING
TO JUMP-START HIS BAIRDI SEASON.
â™ªâ™ª
Man: GO TIME!
â™ªâ™ª
[ LAUGHS ] YEAH!
WE LAID OUR STRING RIGHT ON THE FENCE LINE.
AY, YI, YI.
Narrator: BY SETTING ALONG THE BORDER
OF THE CRAB-RICH PROTECTED ZONE,
THE SKIPPER BETS THE ELUSIVE BAIRDI
WILL CROSS BACK ONTO LEGAL GROUNDS...
Harley: THE BORDER, WHAT'S GOING ON ON THE BORDER?
Narrator: ...AND INTO HIS WAITING POTS.
THIS IS OUR FIRST PEEK.
HOPING, HOPING, HOPING.
[ EXCITED SHOUTING ]
-OH, YEAH! [BLEEP], BABY! -GO, BABY!

[ CHEERING ]
THERE WE GO.
NICE, BIG CRAB IN THESE POTS.
FOUR-TWO, 42.
THAT'S A GOOD NUMBER, YOU KNOW?
â™ªâ™ª
I'M GOING TO BE HAPPY WITH 40 RIGHT NOW.
Narrator: DESPITE THE VETERAN'S EARLY SEASON WOES,
A 40 AVERAGE WILL SEND HIM BACK TO TOWN
STUFFED AND HAPPY IF THE NUMBERS HOLD.
-OH, YEAH. -GOOD CRAB!
-WHOO! -WHOO!
GOT YOU!
THAT'S WHAT WE WANT.
-YEAH! -YEAH!
-WHOO-HOO! -WHOO-HOO!
Harley: RIGHT ON THE FENCE LINE, HERE THEY ARE.
[ CHUCKLING ] OH, OH, OH, MAN.
OH!
JUST GOT TO FINISH IT UP, CALL IT A SEASON COMPLETED.
THAT'LL BE A GOOD FEELING.
Narrator: AS 20-FOOT SEAS POUND THE DECK...
AH!
...HARLEY'S STRATEGY MAY BE PAYING OFF...
GUYS, WE'RE PRETTY BEAT UP.
THIS IS WHEN PEOPLE GET [BLEEP] HURT.
GET IT! GET IT!
...BUT HIS CREW IS PAYING THE PRICE.
THESE CRAB ARE STILL GOING TO BE IN THOSE POTS TOMORROW,
SO I THINK A GOOD 5, 6-HOUR NAP IS IN ORDER.
Harley: NO, NO. I'M NOT GOING TO GO DO THAT.
WHAT'S MOST IMPORTANT IS TO KEEP THE POTS COMING.
[ MEN SHOUTING ]
Harley: WE CAN PLOW THROUGH THIS STUFF NO PROBLEM AT ALL.
OH!

THAT'LL WAKE YOU UP REAL FAST. THAT'S FOR SURE.
Narrator: ...THE BOAT ROLLS JUST AS A POT COMES SAILING OVER THE RAIL...
-WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA! -WATCH OUT!
...NEARLY MAKING MINCED MEAT OUT OF STEVEN "TALL GUY" PORTER.
YOU'RE 100 PERCENT IN CONTROL
UNTIL YOU'RE 120 PERCENT OUT OF CONTROL, RIGHT?
ABOUT ALL YOU CAN DO.
THOUSAND-POUND POT SWINGING AROUND LIKE THAT
COULD'VE KILLED TALL GUY EASY.
I WAS TRYING TO KEEP IT LOW, BUT IT DOESN'T ALWAYS WORK.
Narrator: SENSING THE END IS NEAR...
KEEP BEEPING IT. JUST KEEP MARCHING ON.
...HARLEY ISN'T ABOUT TO LET HIS WORN-OUT CREW
OR THE DETERIORATING WEATHER HOLD HIM BACK.
Harley: WE'RE NOT A DEMOCRACY.
THIS IS A DICTATORSHIP. I'M IN CHARGE.
[ CHUCKLES ]
JUST TRY TO FINISH THIS OUT TONIGHT.
â™ªâ™ª
Narrator: BACK IN DUTCH HARBOR...
SO I FIRED CAM, BANJO, AND JACK.
I NEED HELP.
Narrator: ...AFTER FIRING THREE DECKHANDS
FOR INSUBORDINATION...
I'M LEAVING WHEN I HAVE A CREW.
...CAPTAIN JAKE ANDERSON SCRAMBLES FOR NEW CREWMEN
SO HE CAN CATCH HIS REMAINING 15,000 POUNDS OF KING CRAB...
COME ON.
[ PHONE DIALING ]
Narrator: ...AND SO FAR, HE'S STRIKING OUT.
IF YOU CAN'T, YOU CAN'T.
[ DIALING ]
OH, MY GOD. I'M PULLING MY HAIR OUT.
[ WHIRRING ]
THREE MEN DOWN -- I'VE NEVER BEEN IN SUCH A TIGHT SPOT.
WE STILL HAVE CRAB TO CATCH.
IF I DON'T MAKE THE MONEY,
I WON'T HAVE ENOUGH TO PUT DOWN ON THE BOAT.
UGH.
SO I'M CALLING SEAN RIGHT NOW.
Narrator: WITH HIS GOAL OF BECOMING A 25-PERCENT OWNER
IN THE SAGANOW IN JEOPARDY...
[ RINGING ]
Sean: GO, DUDE.
...JAKE REACHES OUT TO HIS CLOSEST ALLY.
WHAT'S GOING ON, MAN?
WELL, CREW LEFT THE BOAT AN ENTIRE MESS,
DECIDED TO GO OUT AND DRINK,
SO I FIRED THREE CREW MEMBERS WITH NOBODY TO HIRE.
WOW. WAY TO CLEAN HOUSE, DUDE.
[BLEEP] THOSE GUYS FOR BREAKING THE CONTRACT...
YEAH, I KNOW....AND DISRESPECTING YOU.
SCREW THEM. YOU DID THE RIGHT THING.
RIGHT. BUT I NEED YOUR HELP.
YOU A LITTLE SHORT ON CREW MEMBERS NOW OR WHAT?
I GOT 100 POTS ON THE GROUND. I NEED YOU NOW.
HOW CLOSE ARE YOU?
OH, MAN. I'M IN AKUTAN DELIVERING.
I GOT - I MEAN, WE'RE --
YOU KNOW, WE'RE GETTING READY TO FLY OUT.
OH, SO YOU'RE REAL CLOSE.YEAH.
WE'RE GETTING READY TO GO HOME,
BUT I'LL TRY TO HELP YOU OUT AS MUCH AS I CAN.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS RIGHT AT THE MOMENT.
I GOT TO -- IF YOU CAN'T, YOU CAN'T.
I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND. I HATE EVEN HAVING TO ASK YOU.
ALL RIGHT. BYE.
OH!
I DIDN'T EXPECT THAT.
I GOT A BUSINESS TO RUN.
I MEAN, I GOT A CREW.
I GOT A BOAT THAT I'M DEALING WITH.
I'M SUPPOSED TO BE FLYING HOME
AND MAYBE BUYING A NEW BOAT, MAYBE NOT.
I DON'T KNOW YET.
I DON'T [BLEEP]...
I DON'T -- I GOT TO THINK ABOUT IT.
I'M GOING TO HAVE TO MEDITATE ON IT FOR A LITTLE BIT.
I GOT TO FINISH UP THIS OFFLOAD FIRST.
â™ªâ™ª
Narrator: 620 MILES NORTHEAST...
â™ªâ™ª
Keith: WE'RE GETTING CLOSE.
Narrator: ...ON THE WIZARD...
I THINK THE BIG CITY IS ON THE HORIZON.
WHEN YOU START COMING INTO A TOWN LIKE THIS,
KODIAK'S A REAL NARROW CHANNEL
THAT YOU GO DOWN TO GET INTO TOWN.
YOU KNOW, THEY DON'T CALL IT THE KODIAK NARROWS FOR NOTHING.
Narrator: AFTER A 3-DAY STEAM, CAPTAIN KEITH
NAVIGATES A TREACHEROUS NIGHTTIME APPROACH
INTO KODIAK HARBOR, LOADED DOWN WITH
THREE-QUARTERS OF A MILLION DOLLARS WORTH OF CRAB.
Keith: IT CERTAINLY MAKES IT A LITTLE MORE NERVE-RACKING
WHEN YOU'RE COMING IN HERE AT NIGHT.
â™ªâ™ª
AS SOON AS WE GET IN THERE CLOSE ENOUGH,
I'M GOING TO TURN THE HEADLIGHTS ON,
BUT RIGHT NOW WE'RE GOING TO KEEP THEM OFF
FOR A LITTLE BIT LONGER.
â™ªâ™ª
AND RIGHT NOW I NEED MY NIGHT VISION
IN ORDER TO SEE ALL THESE BAGS.
Narrator: TO HELP CAPTAINS NAVIGATE THE TREACHEROUS APPROACH TO KODIAK,
A SERIES OF BLINKING BUOYS MARK A SAFE PATH
THROUGH THE NARROW, ROCKY CHANNEL.
THE COLOR AND FREQUENCY OF THE BLINKING LIGHTS
INDICATE WHERE TO TURN
AND HOW TO AVOID OBSTACLES IN THE SHALLOWS.
BUT ONE MISSED SIGNAL COULD CAUSE THE WIZARDTO RUN AGROUND.
I'M SEEING A WHOLE HELL OF A LOT OF BLINKING LIGHTS UP HERE.
WHICH ONE DO I AIM FOR?
â™ªâ™ª
IT GETS A LITTLE CONFUSING
BECAUSE THERE'S SO MANY LIGHTS UP HERE NOW.
THERE'S LIGHTS FOR PLANES. THERE'S LIGHTS FOR TOWN.
THERE'S FLASHING, INTERMITTENT STUFF.
THIS CAM WE'RE AIMING AT NOW, EVERY 4 SECONDS IT FLASHES.
THREE ONE THOUSAND, FOUR ONE THOUSAND, BLINK.
ONE ONE THOUSAND, TWO ONE THOUSAND,
THREE ONE THOUSAND, FOUR ONE THOUSAND, BLINK.
THAT'S IT.
THERE ARE JUST A BUNCH OF SHOALS RIGHT HERE.
YOU DON'T WANT TO GO IN THERE. THERE'S A RED CAN THERE.
â™ªâ™ª
YEAH, IT ONLY TAKES A SPLIT SECOND
WHEN YOU'RE COMING IN AND OUT OF THIS HARBOR TO GET [BLEEP] UP.
GREEN QUICK-FLASH LIGHT, WHERE'S THAT GUY AT?
WHERE ARE YOU?
â™ªâ™ª
YEAH, WE'RE GETTING SOME SCREWY READINGS ON...
THE VESSEL COURSES AND STUFF.
I'M NOT SURE WHAT THE [BLEEP] IS GOING ON WITH THAT.
Narrator: WITH BOTH THE CITY LIGHTS
AND DOZENS OF SIGNAL BUOYS AHEAD...
WHERE AM I? WHERE AM I?
WAIT A SECOND. WHERE THE [BLEEP] AM I?
Narrator: ...FINDING THE NARROW PATH OF SAFE, DEEP WATER...
...IS A DIFFICULT CHALLENGE.
â™ªâ™ª
HELLO, HELLO, HELLO.
YEAH, I WANT EVERYBODY [BLEEP] UP.
Narrator: THE CAPTAIN NEEDS ALL HANDS ON DECK TO WATCH FOR SIGNALS
TO KEEP THE WIZARD CLEAR OF THE ROCKS.
BAD SITUATION, BROTHER!
Keith: GET UP HERE, MOUSE. NEED SOME EYEBALLS.
GET OVER ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BOAT,
AND HELP ME LOOK FOR BUOYS.
â™ªâ™ª
Narrator: ON THE WIZARD...
Keith: WHERE AM I? WHERE AM I?
WAIT A SECOND. WHERE THE [BLEEP] AM I?
HELLO, HELLO, HELLO.
YEAH, I WANT EVERYBODY [BLEEP] UP.
Narrator: ...CAPTAIN KEITH COLBURN
NEEDS EVERY PAIR OF EYES ON BOARD...
BAD SITUATION, BROTHER.
GET UP HERE, MOUSE.
NEED SOME EYEBALLS.
Narrator: ...TO HELP HIM NAVIGATE THE NARROW,
ROCKY APPROACH TO KODIAK HARBOR.
GET OVER ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BOAT,
AND HELP ME LOOK FOR BUOYS.
I COULD REALLY USE A SECOND SET OF EYES WHEN I'VE GOT RED,
GREEN, FLASH, THIS, THAT, WHATEVER, OKAY?
ALL RIGHT, I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND.
ROGER THAT.
YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A FLASHING GREEN LIGHT.
â™ªâ™ª
BOSS MAN, I HAVEN'T SEEN IT YET.
-QUICK FLASHING? -QUICK FLASH, YEAH.
THAT'S THE ONE WE'RE LOOKING FOR.
IT'S JUST NOW COMING AROUND OFF THE NOSE,
HERE AT PORT AT, LIKE, 11:45.
MAN, THIS SUCKS BIG-TIME.
BECAUSE I GOT [BLEEP] ROCKS [BLEEP]
100 FEET ON EITHER SIDE OF THE DAMN BOAT.
â™ªâ™ª
IF WE TAKE THAT, YOU KNOW, 50 TO 100 FEET OFF THE PORT SIDE
IS AS CLOSE -- THAT'S WHAT WE WANT.
WOW. THIS IS REALLY, REALLY BAD.
INTERMITTENT FLASHING TWO-PLUS-ONE RED, 6 SECONDS.
[ BEEP ]
AND THAT'S HIM RIGHT THERE. ALL RIGHT.
WELL, WE GOT TO TAKE THAT REALLY TIGHT.
THEN IT'S PRETTY MUCH A STRAIGHT SHOT RIGHT DOWN THE CHANNEL.
â™ªâ™ª
COME ON, BABY.
â™ªâ™ª
GO AHEAD AND HIT MY HEADLIGHTS, WILL YOU?
YOU WANT THE SODIUMS?
YEAH, GO AHEAD AND PUT THEM ON.
â™ªâ™ª
Narrator: MAKING THE FINAL TURN INTO THE CHANNEL,
KEITH AND MONTY CLEAR THE WORST OF THE ROCKY GAUNTLET.
Keith: HOW'S MY STERN DOING?
I GOT LOTS OF WATER OVER THERE, RIGHT?
I'M GOOD.
YEAH!
ANOTHER STRESSFUL MOMENT IN THE WHEELHOUSE
IS NOW OFFICIALLY NOT SO STRESSFUL --
TEMPORARILY.
ALL RIGHT. RIGHT ON. GOOD JOB.
Narrator: THE CREW'S TEAMWORK BRINGS THE TOTAL DELIVERY
FOR THE SEASON TO 182,000 POUNDS...
WE'VE GOT, LIKE, A LITTLE OVER 40 IN ONE TANK
AND PROBABLY A LITTLE OVER 30 IN THE OTHER TANK.
...NEARLY 2 MILLION IN GROSS EARNINGS FOR THE BOAT...
Keith: COME ON, ROGER. GET THE WATER OUT.
...AND $42,000 FOR EACH DECKHAND.
Keith: MAN, THOSE ARE SOME BIG BOYS, MAN!
THOSE ARE BEAUTIFUL CRAB.
â™ªâ™ª
Narrator: 690 MILES SOUTHWEST...
CAPTAIN CASEY McMANUS HAS GOT AN ARM ON HIM!
...ON THE SUMMER BAY...
IT'S ALWAYS GOOD BRINGING FRESH BLOOD IN.
WE'VE BEEN GRINDING FOR A WHILE HERE,
AND YOU DON'T REALIZE HOW BURNED OUT YOU ARE
UNTIL SOMEBODY COMES IN THAT'S FRESH.
YAY!
Narrator: "WILD" BILL AND THE CREW POWER THROUGH
THE LAST OF THEIR BAIRDI POTS...
GOT A SECOND WIND.
...THANKS TO THE STEEL-CHUCKING SIDEARM
OF THEIR NEWEST RAILMAN, CASEY.
WE PICKED UP THE PACE CONSIDERABLY HERE,
SO WE JUST ABOUT GOT THESE ALL PICKED UP.
WHOA! YEAH!
â™ªâ™ª
YEAH, THIS IS THE LAST ONE COMING UP.
AFTER IT'S LANDED, MAYBE CASEY CAN REPORT TO THE WHEELHOUSE.

-LAST POT OF THE SEASON, HUH? -YEAH.
YEAH!
TIMMY'S HAPPY IT'S THE LAST POT.
BILLY'S HAPPY. NICK'S HAPPY.
ERIK'S HAPPY.
-YEAH, BABY! -YEAH!
[ CHEERING ]
Narrator: AS THE FINAL POT OF BAIRDI HITS THE TANK,
BILL FINISHES OUT HIS 25,000-POUND QUOTA...
AH!
I'M PRETTY SURE YOU COULD HAVE.
Narrator: ...HIS EXHAUSTED AND INJURED CREW
EARNING EVERY PENNY OF THEIR $5,000 SHARES.
â™ªâ™ª
WHAT'S HAPPENING, BOSS?
OH, MAN, THANKS FOR COMING BY.
-BE CAREFUL. -YOU'VE ALWAYS BEEN GOOD TO US.
Narrator: WITH HIS SHIFT COMPLETE...
BRING IT BACK OVER THERE.
MAKE SURE JOSH HAS GOT HIS DUCKS IN A ROW.
Bill: ALL RIGHT, BROTHER.
Narrator: ...CASEY HEADS BACK TO THE CORNELIA MARIE,
LEAVING THE SAME WAY HE ARRIVED.
WEE-HOO!

â™ªâ™ª
Narrator: BACK IN DUTCH HARBOR...
â™ªâ™ª
Jake: RIGHT NOW IT'S A WAITING GAME.
I'M IN SUCH A PREDICAMENT RIGHT NOW.
IT WOULD BE WONDERFUL IF SEAN COULD GO WITH ME,
BUT HE'S GOT HIS OWN BOAT HE'S TRYING TO BUY, TOO, YOU KNOW?
HE'S IN THE SAME PREDICAMENT AS I AM TRYING TO BUY THIS BOAT.
Narrator: ...STUCK IN PORT AND UNABLE TO REPLACE HIS FIRED CREW...
I JUST CAN'T BE UP ALL NIGHT WAITING FOR THAT PHONE TO RING.
I'M GETTING OUT OF HERE RIGHT NOW.
Narrator: ...CAPTAIN JAKE ANDERSON CAN'T WAIT ANY LONGER.
-Jake: LET'S GET THEM UP. -LET'S GO, THEN.
â™ªâ™ª
OH, BOY.
Narrator: THIS LATE IN THE SEASON
AND WITH CRAB RUNNING OUT...
YOU CAN. I'LL TAKE THE LIGHT OFF.
...THE SKIPPER WILL ATTEMPT THE IMPOSSIBLE --
CATCH THE REST OF HIS QUOTA WITH JUST TWO MEN ON DECK.
EVERYBODY READY?
JUST LEAVE THOSE LINES. I'LL COME UP AND GET THEM.
BOSS, NEW BOSS?
SEAN'S HERE.
-YEAH! -YEAH!
SEAN!

-YEAH. -THIS IS GOING TO BE AWESOME.
LET'S DO IT.
AH! ALL RIGHT, SEAN! GO, GO!
OH, YEAH!
Sean: WE CAN MAKE THIS THING HAPPEN EVEN IF IT IS
ONLY A THREE-MAN DECK.
MY BIGGEST CONCERN RIGHT NOW
IS JUST GETTING BACK HERE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
I GOT A BOAT DEAL I'M TRYING TO PUSH THROUGH,
BUT YOU JUST NEVER KNOW, MAN.
IT IS THE SAGA.
I JUST WANT TO GET TO THE GEAR.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.
IT'S GOT, LIKE, 7 DAYS' SOAK ON IT.
MY JOB AS A CAPTAIN IS TO PERFORM AND PRODUCE,
AND I JUST NEED TO KEEP EVERYTHING GOING AS ONE
MOVING FORWARD UNTIL THE VERY END.
LET'S GO SEE WHAT WE GET.
Narrator: THIS WEEK ON "SALTY TAKES"...
YOU GOT SOME PRETTY TOES THERE.
OH, MY TOENAILS, MY DAUGHTER PAINTS THEM EVERY TIME
I GO CRAB FISHING, MAN.
SHE MAKES ME SIT DOWN, USUALLY THE NIGHT OR TWO BEFORE,
AND SHE PAINTS THEM.
SHE CAN PUT AS MUCH GLITTER AND SPARKLE IN THEM AS SHE WANTS.
SHE ALWAYS TRIES TO GET THE CAPTAIN.
HE WON'T DO IT.
NO, THERE AIN'T NO PAINTED NAILS GOING OVER HERE, NO.
EVERY SEASON, MAN.
MY LITTLE GIRL WANTS TO DO IT, I'LL LET HER DO IT.
I'LL DO ANYTHING FOR HER.
WITH MONTE THINKING OF FAMILY AND FEET,
THE SAGA AND THE SUMMER BAY
GET A LEG UP TO GET THEIR CREWS HOME.
Narrator: 190 MILES NORTHWEST OF DUTCH...
USE THE THROTTLES AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION.
I'M NOT GOING TO TELL YOU TO GO SLOWER.
I'M HOPING THAT I'LL TELL YOU TO GO FASTER, IF ANYTHING.
I'M JUST -- I'M READY, DUDE.
LET'S DO THIS THING.SO I NEED TO FASTER RIGHT NOW.
LET'S DO THIS THING. GET ON DECK!
YOU'RE LATE!
Narrator: ...CAPTAIN SEAN TAKES THE SAGA'SWHEEL,
AND CAPTAIN JAKE TAKES THE DECK...

â™ª CLOCK IS A-TICKING! â™ª
Narrator: ...HOPING TO EKE OUT THE BOAT'S LAST 15,000 POUNDS OF QUOTA.
SEAN WILL SPLIT TIME WITH JAKE AT THE HELM
SO THE SAGA'SSKIPPER
CAN SQUEAK OUT THE LAST OF HIS 15,000 POUNDS OF QUOTA.
I FEEL REALLY GOOD ABOUT, YOU KNOW,
WHAT I'M DOING OUT HERE WITH JAKE, MORALLY, REALLY GOOD.
I HOPE IT DOESN'T MESS ME UP ON THE OTHER END,
BUT I MADE A DECISION, AND THERE'S NO GOING BACK NOW.
Narrator: ADDING TO THE PRESSURE, THEY ONLY HAVE 12 HOURS
UNTIL SEAN HAS TO LEAVE FOR SEATTLE
TO SEAL THE DEAL ON A NEW BOAT.
Sean: FIRST ONE COMING UP.
â™ªâ™ª
WE NEED TO GET THESE CRAB ON AND GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE.
â™ªâ™ª
Sean: WE'RE SETTING THE PACE, BABY.

LANDING THE POT BY HIMSELF.

THAT LOOKS PRETTY GOOD.
OFF TO THE NEXT ONE.
HELL YEAH, MAN. NICE-LOOKING CRAB!
JAKE'S A PRETTY DAMN GOOD FISHERMAN.
I MEAN, LOOK. THAT'S A FULL SORTING TANK.
HE -- YOU KNOW, JAKE'S BIGGEST ISSUE WITH HIS FISHING
IS THAT HE GETS DISTRACTED FROM IT
BY CREW MEMBERS,
BY MECHANICAL PROBLEMS.
-AH! -NO, YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO GO EASY!
[ SHOUTING ]
[ LAUGHS ] ALL RIGHT! NOT IT.
THAT'S NOT IT.
