-[waves crashing] -[grunts]
-[man] Watch out! -[screams]
[dramatic music playing]
[cries]
[dramatic music playing]
[water splashing]
[Sig] Time is precious.
[dramatic music playing]
[Wild Bill] The last 20 years,
there's been a lot of changes.
[dramatic music playing]
[Keith] Time flies when you're fishing crab.
You just hope that you did something right.
[Jake] I've lost so much,
so it's made me look out, what is important?
[Sig] The past is gone.
The time is now.
[dramatic music playing]
[Sig]Every split-second decision
can mean the difference between life and death.
[Bob] Do I really want to be a great captain?
[Jacob]I'm ready to move forward.
I wanna earn it.
[Rick] I'll be fishing and I'll be fishing
till the day I die.
[bell dinging]
-[cries] -[man] Look out!
[Sig] It's all about time.
The less you have,
the more dangerous it becomes.
[dramatic music playing]
[Sig] It has been 20 years since I first allowed
a camera on the Northwestern.
When Deadliest Catchfirst started,
I never imagined how big it would get.
[dramatic music playing]
[Sig] Okay, here goes nothing.
We gotta haul like a mother [bleep].
You've seen us score jackpots.
-[man] Oh, yeah! -[crew cheering]
Yeah! Yeah, baby!
[Sig] Lose family members.
[Jake] She's in a better place, Mom.
[Sig]And nearly die ourselves.
Open your eyes, buddy.
[man] Oh, my God.
[Todd] Yo.
It's me, Todd.
[Sig] You've watched us lose friends to the lifestyle.
[man crying]
[Sig] And to the Bering Sea.
[man speaking]
[Sig] These moments in our lives
have changed us.
I think of you as another father to me.
[laughter]
[man] Oh, my God.
[Sig]They've made us who we are.
[man grunts]
[Sig] We call it Deadliest Catch...
[dramatic music playing]
[Sig] ...and we're the survivors.

[dramatic music playing]
[Mike] Right now, some very brave fishermen
are preparing to journey 300 miles north
into the icy waters of the Bering Sea
to fish for crab.
It's been called the most dangerous job
in the world, one of the deadliest.
Two decades ago, I got a phone call
about a scrappy new series in Dutch Harbor, Alaska.
Some of these guys have no idea
what they've signed on for.
It was just about crab fishermen on the Bering Sea.
It's been on our family long as I can remember.
It's a way of our life.
[Mike] What started out
as a one-hour special
became an overnight success.
Please welcome Sig Hansen.
[audience cheering]
[Mike]With ratings spiking
to over 5 million viewers every Tuesday
and airing all over the world.
In Spain, it was... [speaking in Spanish]
In Russia... [speaking in Russian]
And in Germany... [speaking in German]
Now, after one of the longest runs
in TV history,
the story is beginning its next chapter.
[Sig] I still can't believe that it's been 20 years.
I thought it was just gonna be a one-off documentary.
Next thing you know, they're doing a series.
It's been a long time.
It is incredibly dangerous
and you and I have tried to downplay it
in our families and lives forever.
And then the wives and the kids
start watching it, they're like, "Dad?"
-"Are you crazy?" -Like, what...
"You told me it was like no big deal."
-[laughs] Yeah. -Well, the thing is this.
We are racing this year more than ever.
We haven't had king crab for two years.
And now, we have to prove there's crab there
and we have to prove it in a way
that we can get it fast.
Because if we don't see 'em, the alternative is...
They'll shut you down.
If we don't see the strong numbers per pot
or on the average,
Fish and Game is gonna look at it and go,
"Well, that's not strong enough."
We could get shut down any day.
You only got so much time.
And I feel like it's the derby again.
Exactly. You remember what it's like, right?
Yeah.
[Mike]In a derby style fishery,
captains compete for a piece
of a fleet-wide overall quota.
It's real money, honey.
[Mike]It's catch what you can
before the buzzer goes off.
Yeah!
[Kris] Oh, my God!
[Keith grunting]
[yells]
[Mike] And while there is huge upside,
there are no minimum guarantees,
causing fishermen to push their limits for a share
of the mammoth fall season payday.
[Kris speaking]
When we first started the show,
it was a derby style fishery.
And so not only did you have this competition at sea,
which was dangerous enough as itself,
you're gonna add a couple of camera guys
and you're gonna try to film all this at the same time.
Welcome to Dutch Harbor.
[man] Here we go.
Have to go on an adventure.
[Mike] 20 years ago, Deadliest Catch pioneered
a new genre of TV, documenting the hunt
for Bristol Bay red king crab.
Alaskan king crab!
[Mike] The derby was celebrated by veterans.
It was a way of life.
[Sig] Come on!
[laughs]
[Mike] It brought millions to the fleet,
danger to the decks.
If you wanna be a crab fisherman, this is it.
[Mike] And new faces to the industry.
In 2007, 26-year-old greenhorn Jake Anderson
boarded the Norwegian highliner, Northwestern.
[man speaking]
Is that him?
Yeah?
[man] He's the new guy.
[Sig] Just stay there.
Go away. [laughs]
You wanted a handshake,
you wanted some credit,
and I wasn't gonna give it to you.
Why should I?
I wanted some credit.
I just wanted to know who the [bleep]
I was working for.
[laughter]
[Jake] I mean, seriously.
[laughs]
I was a young, naive kid
and before the show, you know, I was...
I was not doing very well due to alcohol and drugs.
And here I was in the most uncomfortable
environment the Earth can provide.
All you gotta do is just put your pride aside,
don't have an opinion, we'll give you one.
Read the sign out loud.
[Jake speaking]
[bleep] that stupid sign.
-Holy [bleep]! -[Sig laughs]
All right. Pick up the pace, little junior.
-All the way to the back. -[Jake] Yeah!
[Sig] All the way to the back, junior!
[Jake] Deadliest Catch
documented me basically growing up.
And then that's when I started
trying to be the good worker
for the team that I was on but for me
because I wouldn't have made it.
And I'm proud of you. But at the end of the day,
you still gotta earn your stripes, right?
Wanna swap?
-[man] No way! -You might go on the deck.
[laughter]
[man] Kidding me?
Welcome to the club, junior.
That jacket was something that wasn't just
that I would earn to be a part of the Northwestern.
To me, it meant something bigger than that.
To me, it meant that I could be respected as a human being
and it was a big deal for me.
That was the time that I got to prove,
"Hey, I'm a real [bleep] fisherman."
[Keith] You were finally part of a family, of a team,
something people watching the show, they'd never seen.
And that's what makes the show what it is.
[Mike] Deadliest Catchtells the story
of fishermen on the Bering Sea...
[dramatic music playing]
[Mike] ...across nearly 400 televised episodes.
Get down!
[waves crashing]
Get the [bleep] down!
[Mike] But with any working relationships
spanning two decades...
[man 1] Holy [bleep].
They got the shot though, right?
-[man 2] They got the shot! -[men cheering]
[Mike]...sometimes the story becomes
one of cameramen and captain.
[man] Welcome to the Time Bandit.
-Thank you. -[bleep] you. [laughs]
It's just my job to document what really happens out here.
[man] [bleep] you, dude.
You're an idiot. You're truly an idiot.
You get down there and do your [bleep] job.
They aren't always our best friends.
[laughter]
They're there to capture what we do
and sometimes that's difficult.
You've had some experience?
[dramatic music playing]
[man] You definitely don't wanna be there.
[Brad] Sketchy as [bleep] up here.
Brad, you gotta wait until he's got
a free moment to breathe, all right?
[Mike] In 2011, Captain Keith Colburn
set 150 pots into a building 15-foot sea.
But sparking the veteran captain's
short fuse
was 30-year-old cameraman, Brad Carper.
[man] This is what they call throwing you into the fire.
[Keith speaking]
[Brad speaking]
Carper, he was a train wreck.
He was a guy that you could never predict
and always be in the wrong spot
or the most dangerous spot,
impacting my guys and distracting the captain.
I started to elevate.
And once I started elevating, I couldn't stop.
-[Keith] Hey, Carper? -[Brad] Yeah.
[Keith] You don't do [bleep] around here.
[Brad] What are you talking about?
[Keith] I've asked you to [bleep] make me
a pot of coffee three times this [bleep] season
and you're [bleep] too busy
because you're [bleep] too busy sleeping.
Oh, I'm too busy sleeping, making...
Hey, don't you [bleep] get in my face!
-[bleep] -Do you understand me?
Do you understand?
The [bleep] was that?
The [bleep] was that, Keith?
-Back off, dude. -What the [bleep] was that?
Back off! Get out of my [bleep] face!
[man] What the [bleep] was that, tips?
He asked me to make him a [bleep] pot of coffee.
-[man] I know. -Pot of [bleep] coffee, dude.
[bleep] man.
[Brad] What's up, Sig?
-How you doin'? -Hey, Keith.
How you doin'?
Are you [bleep] kidding me?
[laughs] So, Carper.
Tell me what you're thinkin'.
-I gotta know. -[Brad] Oh, man.
Well, first off, I had...
Believe it or not, I actually had a good time
-working on the Wizard. -[Sig] Yeah?
Yeah.
You're still shooting, aren't you?
[Brad] Oh, dude, absolutely. I'm still here,
I've got two Emmys from the show.
You're welcome.
-Come on. -Can we just move forward?
Why are you so bothered about this?
I'm over it. I mean, honestly,
I was over it pretty quick and then I...
-Because-- -...buried it
but he clearly has not buried this yet.
Because I have to answer this question all the time
because if you Google [bleep] Wizard and videos,
your ugly mug comes up all the time
about a damn cup of coffee.
[laughs]
13 years later, he still hasn't gotten over
the fact that he's the guy
that threw a camera dude down the hall on camera.
[Sig] Was it about a cup of coffee?
It was about a lot more than a cup of coffee.
[Brad] Do you wanna hear my side of the story?
-You got the floor. -[Brad] Yeah.
I was in the galley taking some notes.
I was on my laptop, and literally,
as I'm putting it in my case, Keith comes down
and he says, "Carp, I got a big string coming up.
Do you mind making me some coffee?"
And he said it exactly that way.
And I said, "Keith, I gotta run outside
and I gotta film some stuff right now."
And as I'm going up the stairs,
he comes down the stairs and actually kicks me
in the ribs on the way past me,
and then the rest is on camera,
and you've all have seen it,
and that is how that went down.
[Keith] You're [bleep] kidding me.
Keith, why did you kick me?
Why did you kick me on the way down the stairs?
-I never kicked you. -You did kick me on the ribs.
[Keith] Do they got footage of that?
[Brad] No.
Why did you agitate and [bleep] with my head?
That's on the footage.
Go watch the tape.
[Brad] Sig, I handled myself like a complete professional.
Do you think you distracted me
from keeping my crew safe that day, Carper?
-Sig... -Yes or no?
-Sig... -I'm asking you a question.
He asked me to tell the story...
-Do you think... -Would you...
-I'm gonna put... -...[bleep] let me talk?
[Brad] I'm telling the story how it went down.
You kicked me on the way down the stairs.
I'm done.
-[man] No, no. -I'm sorry. No, I'm done.
-[man] Keith. -I can't...
I can't live with an absolute and utter lie.
-I'm done. -[man] No, no.
[Keith] I'm sorry. No, I'm done.
[Brad] Keith, can we bury this right now?
Keith, I would love to bury this with you right now, man.
Sig, I handled myself like a professional that day.
Um...
Sig, you need to understand something here
and I want Keith to understand this too.
I respect this guy as a man
and I respect him as a captain.
I was young and I was breaking in to my TV career,
at least with this kind of TV,
doing some pretty hardcore reality in the Bering Sea.
And that was my first time in the Bering Sea, Keith,
and maybe I had a few things that I needed to learn.
And I learned it on your boat.
[Sig] You got to respect that.
I respect what you went into,
what you were doing.
It's not easy.
And Carper, here's the thing.
I learned something from that interaction with you.
I try to use this to this day not to put myself
in a position where I get that wound up.
Did you have any regrets over how you handled it?
Like could you have maybe not been physical?
It should have been handled differently
because it should have never have occurred.
But in the moment, that's what happened.
It should never have occurred.
[Sig] Agree.
[Mike] Well, at least Keith learned his lesson.
-Off the boat? -[man] Yeah.
Shut 'em down?
-I said, turn it off! -[man] Get off, Keith.
[Mike] Well, maybe not completely.
[Keith] That's it. Out. Out now.
Don't touch me.
[Keith] Get the [bleep] off the boat.
-Hey. -[woman] Keith, stop.
-[man 1] Keith. -[man 2] Let's go.
[Mike]Here's to trying, Keith.
Since the inception of Deadliest Catch,
an authentic portrayal of events
has always been the main focus of the series.
Hey, you got to talk to me, okay?
[Mike] The danger,
the sacrifice, the betrayal...
[man] And shut up, dude, give me a real one,
a real captain.
Don't [bleep] talk back.
[Mike] ...and the heartbreak.
[Sig] Called the boat phone, which she never does.
I saw that Nick got the message
that Jake's sister had passed.
I don't want you to film this moment.
[man] I'm not, so.
[Jake] I got the phone call that Chelsea had died.
Yeah, that was... that was really difficult.
You know, I was always on camera,
so it was always like, tell us how you feel.
And that was really, really hard.
[Sig] I understand, it's not easy.
[dramatic music playing]
[Jake] She's in a better place, Mom.
I'm all right. I'm all right, though.
It's kinda hard to grieve on a crab boat
when you're trying to be so strong.
Her name was Chelsea, Chelsea Dawn.
She's like my best friend.
I've gotten to use the show to show the world my troubles
and my struggles
and really formed who I am today.
I just can't thank you enough for taking me in.
You know, you showed passion
and maybe you were, uh, you know, worth it.
[suspense music playing]
[Mike] For Jake Anderson,
some of the most difficult moments
in his life were documented on air.
[Phil] This car here was $95,000 when it was new.
Dollars, it's not pesos.
[Mike] But for Captain Phil Harris,
the most iconic man in the 20-year history
of Deadliest Catch...
We're gonna be here. We got a job to do
and let's go do it.
[Mike]...the series showcased
his big yet unfiltered
and unapologetic personality.
Everything was fast, big, loud.
Yeah. Yeah.
I'm a sweetheart.
You can't get any better than me.
I'm just a smiling [bleep] jack.
He was larger than life, you know, for sure.
But all the guys that have been envious of my whole life
lived this hard, fast lifestyle.
I spent the money on some cars, some hookers,
and some other things, recreational things.
It's just that sometimes you can take it
a step too far, you know.
You got to know how to... how to turn it off.
[Mike] While Phil lived like a rock star...
[Phil]It's gonna be a heavy tobacco
consumption day today.
[Mike] ...the stress of the captain's chair
and hard living caught up with him.
[Phil speaking]
[man speaking]
Probably not but it's making me feel better.
[Mike]And veteran boat producer,
Todd Stanley, was there to tell the story.
You know, Phil was a kind of guy that,
you know, he walked to the beat of his own drum,
like all you guys, that tough crabber mentality, you know.
[Mike]In the winter of 2008...
[coughs]
[Mike] ...Deadliest Catch chronicled
the veteran captain's fight
with a pulmonary embolism,
a condition that affected his breathing
and his ability to metabolize oxygen.
[man speaking]
Well, what are you gonna do? What am I gonna do?
What do you do? Nothing. What do you do?
Call the coastguard to come and get me?
-No. -[man speaking]
No. It's different when it's yourself
and you're sitting here.
Believe me.
[Todd] Being on the boat like that,
you know, with him,
we had a real true friendship.
I looked up to him, you know.
He was somebody, uh, powerful and I'm thinking,
my God, what?
He made some bad choices in his life.
[Mike]In the winter of 2010,
during a routine offload in St. Paul Harbor,
Phil was found unconscious in his stateroom.
[Todd] Oh, my God.
Phil, it's me, Todd.
[man] Come on.
[Todd] Hey, buddy, I'm gonna stay with you.
[woman] There we go.
Are you still with us there, Phil?
[Sig] Let me ask you.
Are you a cameraman at the time
or are you a friend,
-or are you on a job? -[Todd] I was both.
-[man grunts] Come on. -[woman] Okay.
-Work together as a team. -[man] Yeah.
[woman] Hey, you're gonna need to lift up above--
[man] We've got you, buddy.
[woman] Let's get that in.
[Todd] I'm right here, Phil. It's Todd.
Grab you a blanket, okay? Here.
Let me help you.
[Sig] I know it's hard,
but right when you're looking at him
and you know that this is bad, what are you thinking?
I'll never forget... No, I'll never forget it.
It was...
I was having a hard time accepting it
because, you know, here is a very dear friend of mine
and this guy could die.
Oh, my God, dude.
[crying]
Yeah, it was...
I was willing to walk away from the job.
[crying]
[sirens wailing]
[Mike] Fourteen years ago,
after 32 crab seasons on the water,
Captain Phil Harris was rushed to the hospital
with an intracranial hemorrhage,
bringing his winter season to an unexpected end.
[Todd crying]
[Todd] I was having a hard time accepting
that this guy could die.
I was willing to walk away from the job.
But there was this overwhelming sense
of I wanna... I wanna...
You know, I wanna be there with this guy
'cause I wanted to spend more time with him.
[dramatic music playing]
[Todd] Cornelia, it sounds like you're saying.
[mumbling]
[Todd] Get the nurse? No?
I ended up all the way to Anchorage.
He had brain surgery. He can't talk.
You know, he's coming... Just come out of a coma.
He scribbles out this message to me...
And I still have this piece of paper today.
Got to have...
Got to have the ending to the story.
Oh, man.
And so we did.
We covered it from there.
And, of course, he started to improve
and we all thought he was gonna pull through.
You're getting better.
You're way better than they thought
and coming back again just fine.
He passed away a few days later.
You know, at first, when Phil wrote that note,
gotta have an ending to the story,
I thought he was talking about the stroke story,
filming him getting out of the hospital
and it was gonna be this miraculous recovery, you know?
Looking back on it,
I realized, you know, what he actually meant,
he wanted us to document the end of his life.
Love you, brother.
[Phil] I love you too, Todd.
[Todd] And I'm proud to say
that I told the story of Phil Harris.
[dramatic music playing]
[waves splash]
[Mike] In 2011,
Jake Anderson turned his sights from the deck
to the wheelhouse...
When are you gonna teach me how to run a vessel?
[Sig laughs]
What makes you think you're gonna be up here all of a sudden?
Why don't you aim for the galley?
I'm sure it needs cleaning.
[Mike]Actioning a bold plan
that set him on a course against the tide,
that would cement his place in Deadliest Catch lore.
[Jake] I got a [bleep] job offer, all right?
-Two years to run a boat. -[man] Where?
Kiska Sea.
I know I run around boats.
Even if it costs me my job on the Northwestern,
my heart said come here.
[Mike] With no room for upward mobility
on the family-run Northwestern, Jake left home.
[man] Watch the line.
[Jacob grunts]
[man speaking]
[Roger] We hired him as a captain.
Well, right now, he's gotta be a deckhand.
[Mike] But instead of a graceful rise to the wheelhouse...
[man] Thank you for slowing us down, Jake.
[man speaking]
[Mike] Jake feel nothing but resistance and resentment.
This is my boat.
It's my baby. This is me.
So I'm not gonna turn it over to you to have you fail.
[Wild Bill] That's a tight-knit bunch.
There were crew members on there
for probably six, eight, ten years.
And you came in hungry
and you're trying to get to the top?
[Jake] Yeah, it can look that way,
but what you don't know
is that for six months,
he tried to get me to go over to that boat
so they can bury that man
and take his spot on the show.
That's all it was about.
That's all it was ever about.
It was never about me becoming a captain.
It was never about me being anything.
I didn't seek that job out.
They wanted his slot.
You say that but it was just--
I came with [bleep] money.
They wanted the money.
I said, "Okay, here's the [bleep] money,"
and they said, [bleep] off.
You see what I'm saying?
They treat me like [bleep].
Those guys [bleep] sucked there.
I'll never [bleep] forget that [bleep].
Don't get mad at me. I'm just... I'm just--
[Jake] I'm not getting mad at you.
This is the worst decision I ever made.
They [bleep] me and it was all about him.
It was always about him.
They wanted to take his reputation,
take his spot, take his limelight,
and they used me to [bleep] do it.
[glass breaking]
[bleep] them.
How you doing, buddy?
[Jake] Sorry.
It makes me look like a dumb [bleep].
It's all in the process of getting where you gotta be, buddy.
You can't turn back the hands of time, man.
You just gotta move forward.
[Mike] In 2020...
Captain Wild Bill tested that theory
when the cameras documented a devastating loss.
[PA announcer] Attention.
This is your final boarding call
for Flight 7121 to Seattle.
Two gates...
Hello.
[man] Hey, Bill.
Nick died.
He is dead.
Oh, man.
[Mike]Thirty-three-year-old veteran deckhand
and fan favorite Nick McGlashan
passed after losing a battle with addiction.
I think of you as, you know, another father to me.
And, you know, I think of all of us on this boat as family.
[Wild Bill]Nick was a son to me.
-I love you. -I love you too, man.
[Jake] The biggest hurdle with the show
is that we have to show the world what we go through,
you know, so that the public can understand
it's not easy to be a fisherman.
"Oh, my God. You're Nick. Boss for Wild Bill.
You're the drug addict."
Yup.
That's me.
Quit doing drugs. Quit drinking.
You'll be a lot happier.
We still have that.
I do have a choice whether or not I'm going to use
or drink today though.
[Wild Bill] You know, you can never take away
from what a guy has achieved in his life
and he achieved so much.
Come on, crab!
I'll do this one behind the back for you.
[Nick speaking]
[Wild Bill] Show to me, like, Nick, you're my hero.
But he had so much more to get and gain.
[Nick]My dream as a little kid...
was to be a captain of a crab boat.
[Wild Bill]I really despise addiction.
It took a good man.
We get a little bit on the boat, Nick.
Goodbye, buddy.
I miss my best friend.
You know, I was like his right-hand man.
Yeah.
It's taken a lot for me
to step foot into his shoes, you know,
even, you know, three years later.
I couldn't think of a better person
to step in and take over.
I'm thinking about retiring
and I'm gonna need somebody to do the lawn
at the house and cars and... You know?
[laughter]
Come on. It's the obvious.
When Nick passed, Landon was gonna step in to the spot,
and he's taken on a lot to take over the deck.
And this year, he's gonna have to start taking on a lot more.
And, you know, a part of me didn't wanna bring this out.
I just wanna continue my life
normally as much as I can,
but I have cancer.
[Wild Bill] I have cancer.
-How you doing this morning? -[Wild Bill] I'm all right.
I'm a little nervous, but you got the test results.
[doctor] Yeah.
You do have prostate cancer
and it needs to be treated aggressively.
Some of these cancers,
we can watch, we don't have to treat right away.
This is not one of them, okay?
It is a life-threatening issue.
[Wild Bill] I'm lucky it hasn't spread to the bones
or the lymphs or... I mean, it's contained.
So I'm hopeful that everything is gonna go well,
but I don't care what kind of cancer.
Nobody wants to hear that C word.
[Landon] To be a hundred percent honest,
I feel more bad for the cancer than I do for you,
it being in your body.
I mean, I feel like you're just gonna kick its ass.
[laughs]
You know, it's...
Life takes a turn, so it's... I'm gonna do what it takes
to try to clear it up.
I'll be honest.
It's kind of weird to put it out there to the public.
I'll explain to people what happens as I go
and I just wanna continue my life normally
as much as I can.
But I'm willing to put it out there
to let people see the journey
in hopes that maybe convince some people to get tested.
If I can help save one or two people in this planet,
it's a good thing.
But the next four, six, eight months
is not gonna be pleasant.
So I have a feeling I'm gonna need Landon way more.
-I got you. -All right.
I'm going home.
[chuckling]
[Jake speaking]
It's cold out.
Thank God, I don't have to be outside.
[Mike]Eight years into his career,
Jake Anderson took a second stab at the wheelhouse
aboard the 107-foot fishing vessel Saga.
[Jake] Damn it.
[man] This sucks.
[Jake] Yeah.
[man] Blank, blank, blank, blank, blank.
[Mike] But the world would quickly see his plate grow
from skipper-in-training struggles
to full-blown captain problems.
[Jake] We're losing power.
I have absolutely zero control of the boat right now.
Go give me a report.
Get the [bleep] out of my face.
I'll kill you [bleep] now.
[Sig] You can't take a new guy and a new crew
on a new boat,
put the pieces together
and think you're gonna succeed.
You're not.
Something bad is gonna happen.
And a lot of bad did.
Needless to say, I'm very proud of you
and what you've become, but a lot of times, man,
I was thinking you should have just stayed where you're at.
It might have made life a little easier.
-Yeah. Me too. -So you took the hard road.
You took the hard path.
And because of that,
you are where you are today.
Would you agree to that?
I don't know. It's changing now for me.
It was just four weeks ago
that I get a call,
tie up the boat, the boat's lost its fishing rights.
I lost the Saga.
I lost a lot of my personal money
and everything I had ever worked for.
I'm going to get some of my stuff now
and... Oh, it's sad.
This is a salvage mission.
[pants]
This is [bleep].
This is hard.
[pants]
It's my fault because... [sighs]
...I trust too much.
My partner just said, "I have a lien on the boat.
There's no way to buy it."
He made a mistake. Whatever he did...
I don't know if it's illegal.
I don't know what,
because my lawyer can't even figure it out.
But, basically, all the money that I invested in it is lost.
[bleep] him.
I just can't thank you enough
for taking me back to the Northwestern.
But I'm trying to be a captain, an owner.
Had it all and lost it in seconds.
I'm thinking, "Why wouldn't you just quit?"
[dramatic music playing]
[Sig] I still can't believe that it's been 20 years.
It went like that.
Twenty years.
You look the same to me that you did 20 years ago
and it is a compliment.
Touch my gear again, it's game on, pal.
Gotta always have that attitude, Gilly.
-Oh, well. -Always.
You and I have not watched the show.
We don't look... We do not look the same.
-[Sig speaking] -Let's go.
-[laughter] -I'm serious.
I mean, 20 years. Okay. Fine. Same guy.
You know, when I look at you, Bill, same thing.
[bleeping]
[man speaking]
[Wild Bill speaking]
And we have a maturity problem still.
-Yes, we do. -[laughs]
[Jake] I'm trying to be a captain, an owner.
Had it all and lost it in seconds.
I'm thinking, "Why wouldn't you just quit?"
There's been a lot of times in my career
I just wanna just pack it up and quit.
Whoa. Whoa. Whoa.
[man speaking]
[man] We got fire!
[alarm blares]
[man] Stay calm.
I had another moment. I had the same feelings.
I don't understand why it hurts so much right here.
Oh, my God.
[man] Sig, I think you should go to the clinic.
And like the Destination, same thing.
[woman speaking]
[man speaking]
No.
Are you talking about Jeff Destination,
my buddy?
What?
[man] Yeah. Roger.
[man speaking]
[radio beeps]
[Sig] I know you want me to probably say something, but...
Maybe just give me a little bit and I'll...
tell you what I think, okay?
[producer] Absolutely, Sig.
The loss of the Destination, for me,
that was horrifying
because, you know, you got...
your best friend...
You know, you know these guys.
You're with them every day. And...
it's like you... You know, you turn
around and they're... And they're gone, like that.
That's how fast...
Right there was...
In my mind, I was ready to just say...
I gotta find something else to do.
But you can't stop
if your deal isn't done.
I really feel for you right now,
but, at the same time,
I feel like it's a life lesson.
So you're gonna have to weather it, you know,
and move forward.
[dramatic music playing]
[Mike] Six days into the 2023 fall red king crab derby...
[Harley] This is the one, man.
Granddaddy of them all.
[Mike] ...captains battle for their piece
of a $30-million payday.
I'm actually looking forward
to going back to the Northwestern.
-Oh, you'd like to think so. -[laughs]
-As long as the check clears. -[laughs]
[bleep] sparks everywhere.
Oh, there's a fire up there.
I don't know what I'm doing.
[Wild Bill coughs]
[Wild Bill] I have zero questions in my mind
that he has the ability to take the reins.
[Landon]The pressure's on right now.
Anything can happen.
[Johnathan] Hey, hey, hey.
[man] Get it off. Come on. Cut it.
Damn it. Cut the wire. Cut the wire.
[waves crashing]
Everything is going so damn good!
Are you okay, man? Holy [bleep].
I don't know exactly what Rick Shelford has in store for me
but I wanna be a captain.
[dramatic music playing]
Working with Greg Wallace on the Seabrooke as a co-captain,
it'll be a totally different beast.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Slow down! Slow down!
[bleep] come on.
[sighs] Come on.
Just get out, get out, get out, get out, get out.
[Sig] You're on a new boat with Harley.
This is a huge opportunity.
Hey. We don't keep that like that.
-[man 1] I know. I know. -[man 2] Corey, stop.
Stop. Stop.
[Jake] Here we go. Titan Explorer.
First pot for red king crab 2023.
Whoa.
-Whoa. -[bleep]
What happened?
Hey.
[man speaking]
[Sig] This is more than just fishing to make money.
It's a race against time.
[Keith]This year, we have to fish
like every string is the last string we're ever gonna set.
[Jake] I need to catch crab, and I just lost everything.
You're telling me I can't go on my boat right now?
[Sig] You can come here,
if need be.

[Jake] Look out, John. Look out, Keith.
Look out, Sig.
I'm gonna [bleep] you up.
King crab is my bread and butter,
and now it's back.
The king crab fishermen, it's what everyone wants to be.
[Sig] It's first come, first serve.
They're right on our heels.
There's gonna be conflict.
Get your ass up here.
So every season, we're going by derby rule.
Jeff, [bleep] you, Jeff.
[dramatic music playing]
[Sig] Tomorrow, the clock starts ticking.
[thunder rumbles]
[Jack] If I don't produce then I'm out of the chair.
[Sig] Every split second can mean the difference
between life and death.
