[dramatic music playing]
[seagulls cawing]
[man] one-forty-five. One-four-five.
[casey] we gotta finish up, get all these pots picked up,
running the same pot to get ourselves
a ticket to the line, delivery line.
[josh] we're trying to get it done as fast as we can.
It's first come, first serve right now.
And we don't know how long the line is gonna be
and that makes us pretty nervous.
[narrator] five weeks into the winter season.
[jake] processing plant may put you in a line.
It could be five days, it could be one day,
it could be no days, it could be ten days.
[narrator] the cannery switches
from scheduled offloads
to first come, first serve.
[johnathan] deciding to offload crab
was act of congress, or act of god.
[narrator] the rule change ensures the constant flow
of product to the plant.
But allows less time for captains
to fill their boats and claim the spotted line.
This is what the cannery wants.
Now, it's off to the races.
[narrator] pushing man and machine to their limit.
[singer] ♪ I'm a cowboy... ♪
[man] go, go, go.
[singer] ♪ ...I got the night on my side ♪
oh.
Oh, boy.
Woo! Yeah.
[waves splashing]
[jake] oh, my god.
[narrator] four hundred sixty-nine miles northwest
of dutch harbor...
On the summer bay.
[wild bill] I'm hoping we have a very productive day today.
Now, we have hundreds of thousands pounds
of this stuff to catch,
I'm hoping I'm in a good spot.
I'll know that when I start hauling gear.
[narrator] under pressure from the processor's
new first come, first serve policy,
captain "wild bill" wichrowski,
races to catch the same 300,000 pounds
of quota with less time on the water.
Coming up.
I hope by the end of the day,
I find a nice little pile that I can work on.
It's just turn and burn.
[man] let's go [indistinct]
[machine whirring]
[man speaking]
not seeing anything here yet.
[man speaking]
first one was a 40.
[man speaking]
damn.
Swing and a miss.
Not what we're looking for.
[wild bill speaking]
[narrator] pulling meager numbers,
bill must haul, stack, and move all 110 pots
in search of new grounds
sacrificing time he doesn't have.
[explosion]
[man] oh, [bleep]
-[man2] hydro. -[wild bill] hydro.
-Hydro. Hydro. Hydro. -[man2] hydro.
[man] hey, kill the hydro.
[wild bill speaking]
act like you know what you're doing.
-[man] kill the hydro. -Oh, my god.
[man speaking]
kill the electric.
Son of a bitch.
[man speaking]
[bleep]
[intense music playing]
[wild bill] that was...
That was a hydraulic leak, man, holy [bleep].
And I don't... I don't know how long
it's gonna take to fix this.
[man] we gotta get this fixed.
Right now we're dead in the water.
We cannot haul gear.
Oh, [bleep] man.
[man speaking]
what?
[man speaking]
[man2 speaking]
[narrator] without a replacement hose...
So...
[narrator] ...Bill will rack up $6,000
in fuel and supply cost to make the 450 mile trip
back to dutch harbor.
[man speaking]
[man2 speaking]
[narrator] all for a $30 part.
[man speaking]
it's pretty rough.
I'm not gonna say "what next."
[narrator] eighty-six miles northwest on the time bandit.
[man] walk up the [indistinct]
[man2] yeah. Get in there.
All the crabs out, yeah.
Woo. All right.
Done with that.
[johnathan] beginning of the next trip.
Yeah. And we'll see what... See what happens here.
There's a [indistinct] it's like four or five days old.
[narrator] returning to strong fishing in the north.
[johnathan] ended up with a couple of guys
to a groin injury and then a shoulder injury.
[narrator] johnathan hillstrand
starts his second trip down two deckhands
and facing a traffic jam at dock.
[johnathan] got a lot of quota to put in,
so we gotta pick up the slack.
I can't stop until we get all our gear full.
[narrator] to adjust to the new cannery rules
and avoid devastating dead loss,
the captain plans to put his depleted crew
through a bering sea grind.
[johnathan] all right, guys. First pot is coming up.
Yeah.
[man] hey, baby!
Check it!
[johnathan] the last time here, we had some 300.
[man] woo-hoo!
We gotta see what's here now.
[machine whirring]
oh! Yeah!
-Woo! -[man] yeah!
That's a big block.
You see that pot?
Woo, woo, woo!
[bleep] yeah.
Plus I didn't even think...
Uh-oh.
No signal.
It's the wheelhouse light.
You come over here.
No signal. Uh-oh.
Uh-oh. What happened?
Oh, I hit my [bleep].
I was just being a smart-ass.
Then I kicked my computer and I lost my computer.
Take that, you rat bastard.
You rat bastard.
I can't turn the power on.
[narrator] john's critical piece of hardware,
a decade old pc holding the coordinates
to his entire 170 pod load.
[johnathan] I lost everything.
Any marks. I don't know where any of my gear is.
[narrator] without it, john's virtually blind.
The only record of when and where he set,
in his head.
[johnathan] hey, we lost the computer.
We got nothing.
[man speaking]
I kick my own computer.
The one computer that's been giving me love
for a long time.
[man] what's this stuff for?
[johnathan] well, this whole... It's off.
-[man] yeah. -[johnathan] just be careful.
[man] my little zone up here behind it.
[johnathan] I don't know.
I kicked it.
I'm sorry, machine, if I kicked you.
Any way I hurt you.
I have to... I'll lose the whole trip,
we have to go to town.
I can't even, like, find our way back home.
Won't be able to find a [bleep] island.
This is not very happy times.
[narrator] two hundred thirty miles southeast...
On the saga.
-[man] ooh, baby! -[man2] yeah.
[jake] this is why crab fishing is fun.
[cheering]
god.
[laughing]
[man] both 101.
[narrator] captain jake anderson
works the southern grounds
108 miles west of saint paul.
[jake] we're tracking the school,
hopefully it gets better.
[cheering]
[man speaking]
[man2 speaking]
it is getting better.
Well, right now what's going on
is it's a first come, first serve policy.
[man] hey, look out. Look out.
[jake] now, the pressure is on.
[man] yeah. Woo!
Don't know what to do now, these are good...
These are big good crab.
-Woo! -[man] yeah!
[jake] can I just shove these back in the water matt?
[narrator] to deliver ahead of the fleet.
[jake] I wanna try to get as much crab on board
right now as I can.
That's why I'm sending it back.
[narrator] jake bets the time saved fishing
the same location will avoid time spent
languishing at dock.
[man] here we go.
[narrator] it's a good plan if his hot spot
continues to deliver.
[jake] we're sending it back in the water.
[man] we're good.
[jake] I'm hoping that it's big.
This is all just another form of gambling,
that's all this is.
[matt] I don't have a lot of hope that this
is the best fishing grounds, but it's fishing ground.
I don't know.
You won't know and haul them again.
No rest for the wicked, huh?
[man] whoa.
[man speaking]
[electricity buzzing]
[jake] oh, my god.
Winston, now.
-Hurry! Run! -[man] go, go, go!
I'm losing power right now.
[intense music playing]
-[man] get it up! -[winston] what?
[man] get it up!
[bleep]
[narrator] on the saga...
[electricity buzzing]
[man] whoa.
[man2 speaking]
[electricity buzzing]
[jake] oh, my god.
Winston, now.
-Hurry! Run! -[man] go, go, go!
I'm losing power right now.
[man speaking]
-[winston] what? -[man speaking]
I'm running on battery power.
[man speaking]
[waves crashing]
[generator whirring]
[man speaking]
[bleep]
[narrator] the electrical failure,
a faulty voltage regulator
rendering one generator inoperable.
[jake] as a crab boat captain,
I need both our generators at any moment in time,
the one generator I have left had stopped.
And I lose the crab pots.
I lose the crab. I can lose the boat.
That little piece is out of my league.
There's nothing... There's nothing I can do.
[man speaking]
I'm tired of fixing stuff.
I just want to go fishing.
I just wanna know if the decision I made
to set back was a good decision.
But I'm gonna try to hurry and get back out.
It's about all we can do.
[seagulls cawing]
[water splashing]
[narrator] two hundred forty-two miles northwest.
Woo! Woo!
Oh, nice lift.
Oh, yeah.
[narrator] on the cornelia marie.
[man] that's it! Yeah!
That's pretty crazy, that's steve...
[narrator] working the western grounds,
captains josh harris and casey mcmanus
fish waters nearly 200 feet deeper
than the dutch harbor fleet.
[casey] there's a way to wake up, huh?
-[josh] yeah. -[casey] whoa,
-look at all that crab, dude. -That's a lot.
Three seventy, three seventy.
[casey] three hundred average or so.
[man] woo!
[josh] we have an objective. Is get more crab on the boat,
we got to fill up that back tank.
[casey] we got to finish up
to get ourselves a ticket to the line, delivery line.
I guess it's getting pretty long
and that worries me because I don't know how long
we're gonna have to sit on this crab
for before we can deliver it.
[narrator] now nearly two days
and three hundred miles from dock.
[casey] we have to get weight on this boat right now.
[narrator] the young skippers have less than a week
before the crabs' health deteriorates.
[casey] all right, guys. This is the last pot here.
We're going to go ahead and stack this one,
we're going to figure out what we're gonna set.
What if we add shots to these as we set,
we're gonna go deeper.
I know I'm crazy
but, dude, this is where the crab are.
Nobody's here,
nobody's gonna come down here,
nobody has enough shots probably to come down here
unless they put four shots on their gear.
So, josh, I don't know, what do you think, man?
I think we set them up in there and go deep.
[josh] I don't know.
I think we're gonna get on some crab here.
What, it was too deep before [indistinct] deeper.
Push a little deeper.
[narrator] to fill the boats
and cut down the time they need on the water,
the two skippers invest in the depths.
[casey] we're gonna go out here a little deeper.
We're gonna need an extra shot
on every one of these guys.
[narrator] adding nearly 200 more feet of line
to each pot.
The captain's plan set pots
further down the canyon ledge
bedding the now 1,000 feet and 200 pounds of line
connecting the gear to the surface
can bear stronger deep water currents
without snapping off their pots
into the abyss below.
[casey] are you guys ready?
[man] let's do it!
Come on, buddy.
All right. Now, we're going deep.
This is the deepest we've ever fished
on this boat, 96,000 to water,
the ocean is a little deeper.
[josh] give it a whirl, man.
[dramatic music playing]
[narrator] in dutch harbor...
[man] where do you want it now bud,
-over here? -[man] yeah.
[narrator] on the summer bay.
[wild bill speaking]
...Come up and running.
[man] okay.
All you...
[will bill] catch some more gear,
I need to spread out and get a grid prospect,
find a home.
[narrator] after two days steam to town,
captain wild bill loads an additional 110 pots
hoping to jumpstart his opilio season.
[phone rings]
[wild bill] no caller id.
Yeah, whatever.
Hello.
[johnathan] bill, johnathan.
Hey, johnathan, how are you?
I lost my computer
and they just wanted harrison electric in dutch harbor
that can save my ass.
And I heard you might be in town
and coming out.
[bill speaking]
no, we haven't left yet.
Um...
We will owe you big time.
I'll tell you where we're at and what we're doing.
There's crab up here,
so there's numbers everywhere.
Three-fifties
and some four hundreds and stuff.
Yeah, I...
-I'll swing by and grab it. -[johnathan] yeah.
Okay. Thanks.
[bill speaking]
okey-doke.
[johnathan] thanks. Thank you.
-Thanks, brother. -No sweat, guys.
Bye.
I usually don't share my info with the fleet
but if he's gonna bring out the computer,
I have no choice.
[wild bill] I'll be honest,
I don't think I can fish without mine either.
We never used to happen,
but for the last 17 years we've been using them,
I don't think I can find my gear
and I know damn well john can't find his gear.
I know john,
he embellishes everything
to say there's 200, 400s everywhere.
John wants to make it sound, you know, he wants...
It's a really good deal to go up there and help him.
But to get a little confirmation
that there might be some action
and it would be worth the trip.
I'm willing to take the chance.
I guess I'm gonna go pick up a computer.
[waves crashing]
yeah. So we're just getting in st. Paul,
there's a lot of boats here.
I don't like being here unless I'm ready to offload
but I gotta fix my generator.
This takes like five, six days away
so I'm gonna get in line to offload.
Guys, we got four days on it right now,
I still have time.
But the problem is the swells coming in from the west
which will make it difficult for me
to get in the harbor.
[waves crashing]
[narrator] with the generator to repair
and the first come first serve policy
at the cannery...
See the breakers on the beach,
some of these swells are 10 feet.
[narrator] ...Captain jake anderson must choose,
wait for the weather to calm
or risk saint paul's rocky wave laden entrance.
And we'll watch them as they come in
like these are pretty big,
they're not breaking
but they're enough to throw you around
and throw you up against the rocks.
This place can be hairy.
The narrow...
The narrow entryway into the bay really rocky,
a little windy out right now, too, so.
[mason speaking]
now it's time to be a captain.
[mason speaking]
[jake] the approach is fast
then I'll slow down and I'll wait
for what I think is the best moment
in between the waves to cut in.
Problem is if I can't find it
and keeps pushing me in,
I can't back out of it.
I almost wish I had a life jacket on right now.
I never thought I'd say that.
[jake speaking]
[matt] look behind you, giant swell,
we're gonna ride that one in.
Get ready to hold your ass.
Turn [bleep], turn [bleep], turn [bleep],
turn [bleep].
[man] full speed!
[suspense music playing]
[jake] oh, my god.
[man] oh, yeah!
[mason] yeah!
[sighs] [bleep] me.
[bleep] me.
[matt] that was badass.
Oh, my god, that was nice.
[man] beautiful, bro.
[matt] I love it.
-[sighs] -[man] that was [bleep] nice.
Look at that, just moves right out in here.
[jake] god.
Nothing makes you feel more vulnerable
than trying to go into saint paul harbor.
Now it's just... It's the generator
and get back out there.
[narrator] just 67 miles northwest
on the summer bay.
[wild bill] oh, here we go.
I got a hundred and ten crab pots
and ten cod pots right now.
The next step is a long ride.
We got one stop to give johnny a computer.
I've been hearing about a spot,
see if we can find some fresh ground.
[narrator] wild bill tracks 560 miles north
to help a hillstrand
and take advantage of what he hopes
is a hot tip.
[wild bill speaking]
[man speaks]
-[wild bill speaking] -[man] yeah.
[wild bill speaking]
okay, buddy.
Tip for tap, I want to repay the favor.
Lots of crabs.
Copy, copy.
All right, man.
[johnathan] this has been going on for how many years?
No cap john paul jones did it
captain cook did this.
Quite despairing.
They all did high sea transfers.
Gun powder. Bottles of rum.
Probably saltpeter
maybe crew members of a guy who lost all his crew.
All right. Oh, great, they're tied up
and rigged up and ready to go over.
Yeah, go ahead and ease the case in
and wing the buoy
and let me know when they're both gone.
-Okay. -[man] roger.
They're over.
Yeah. They're in over the side right now.
[johnathan] okay. Thank you.
Fresh by summer bay delivered with a smile.
[johnathan] you see it?
Oh, there they are, yup.
Yup, thank you, bill.
I got a visual.
[man] booyah!
-[johnathan] oh, yeah. -[man] [indistinct]
[man] nailed it.
[johnathan] what a shot.
Thank you, bill.
You saved us. Thank you. Thank you.
All right, man.
Shoot me a note on a couple of good numbers
or something I'm...
And I'm glad, so.
Okay, man.
I can do this right,
we're gonna take the hard drive
from this computer that's in there,
put it on a new computer.
I think I might be able to get all the info back.
[narrator] eighty-four miles southwest...
[man] woo!
[narrator] ...On the cornelia marie.
[casey] just about to haul our first pot.
Today is the meat day.
We have to put as much on board as possible
then go to the island
deliver where it's first come first serve,
and they're backed up for four
or five days to deliver.
And if we get bumped to the bottom list,
we're gonna end up with tanks of dead crab.
[narrator] their crab already ripen the tank.
All right, guys.
Let's get our first pot here.
[narrator] the new first come first serve policy
means the young skippers must depart
with enough time to steam, wait in line,
and deliver a healthy catch.
Sounds heavy as hell.
[man] oh!
Oh!
Oh, [bleep]
oh, boy.
Dude.
[man] did it break off?
[man speaking]
[man] damn it.
These swells are so damn big
that when it jerked up, it just keeps pulling
and snaps them off,
there's just too much strain on the line.
[casey speaking]
you can drive for a sec, josh.
[josh] pot coming up.
Yeah. I feel good about this.
[man] got a tank... Pot. Pot.
[bleep] slow it down,
snapped off now because it's surging on it.
Oh, lost another pot.
[casey] there's $1,500 kiss goodbye...
[man speaking]
it's snapping in.
Yeah, roger.
Watch your ups, all right?
[suspense music playing]
[man] [indistinct]
watch out!
Oh.
[narrator] on the cornelia marie...
[josh] watch your ups, all right?
[man] sure did.
[man] watch out!
[man] oh, what the [bleep]
are you [bleep] kidding me?
That one snapped off, too?
[man] snapped three.
[casey] huh?
[narrator] ...While hauling pots
set on the canyon ledge,
the extra line increases overall weight and drag.
[man] it's all good stuff. Look at that stuff.
It's brand new, isn't it?
They just took it right off?
You snapped two off them?
Two and about three totals for the springs.
Dude, you gotta... You... Right.
So when you're hauling, man, you got it barely idling.
[producer speaking]
I know, you snapped one too.
I know, but two in a row?
You got it barely idling.
Well, here, why don't you show me
how it's done then and don't snap one off
-and... -[casey] that's a bummer.
[narrator] to avoid losing more gear,
josh and casey have to decrease strain
while still bringing their bounties
to the surface.
[casey speaking]
[man speaking]
it was about a couple thousand bucks a piece
for pots line and buoys,
so losing any pot is not a good thing.
[man] woo!
[narrator] the plan...
[casey] to not do anything too crazy, take it slow.
[narrator] ...Keep the boat at an idle
while hauling to reduce tension,
hoping that slow and steady wins the race.
How's this one looking?
[man] oh!
-Here we go. -Here we go. What do we got?
[man] come on. Come on.
There.
All right, man.
-[casey] a good pot. -[josh] oh, yeah.
Crabs look huge.
-[man1] yeah. -[man2] woo!
[man] yay!
[man speaking]
four-seventy, not a bad start.
Dude.
Damn, take it slow.
That's all we can do.
And hopefully it keeps producing.
[man] there you go.
I like it.
[casey] boom!
That's a winner, three quarter full pot.
[bleep] dollar.
[man] yeah!
Yay!
Not too shabby.
Man, hmm, opilio.
Oh, here we go.
Winning them now, baby.
They were deep.
-They were real deep. -[laughs]
[casey] look at that, man.
[men cheering]
dude, we're [bleep] on a roll.
[man] woo!
Every pot right now that comes over the reels
were roughly $3,000 to $3,500,
and we're picking one up every five minutes.
Obviously, they're fishable pots.
Just got to adjust the way we do things.
We're gonna take it slow.
[casey] we need every pound we can get.
We need to get this crab in deliver.
I just hope we're not a day late
and a dollar short.
[narrator] eighty two miles southwest...
[casey] here is the hard drive
out of the computer.
Try to exchange them.
[man] it's got everything downloaded we need.
[narrator] ...Captain johnathan hillstrand
puts his old hard drive
into the newly delivered computer
to bring his fishing operation back on line.
Buddy, if this don't work, I...
We're gonna lose three days of fishing.
You don't go back to this
because we're not going to town.
[man] I hope this works.
[man] let's see what happens.
[man] I don't see nothing yet.
I got supersonic.
Vga.
[man] zooming windows.
[man] come on. Come on. Come on.
I just need your marks, dude, then I'll be happy.
-Oh, we got it! -Oh, my gosh, we got it.
-[man] got all my marks. -[johnathan] yeah!
[indistinct]
so, I got to call bill up.
[phone ringing]
[wild bill] hello?
[johnathan] oh, dude. Thank you.
We already tried it out, so it works.
Thank you. Thank you so much, man.
-I got all my marks. -All right, then.
[johnathan] thank you so much, man, for coming.
I know you had to go out of your way to do that.
[will bill] not that bad.
[johnathan] so, let me tell you
down the fishing line...
All the twos and threes, [bleep] there.
It goes for miles.
[wild bill] what's your watch number?
My watch number, I would stay,
uh, in that band between 69 and 72.
So, there's lots [indistinct]
but there's numbers everywhere,
so do you copy all that?
All right, brother. Thank you.
[johnathan] thanks. Thanks, bill.
Bye-bye.
[johnathan] okay, you guys, let's set.
-Yeah, rog. -[man] yeah, rog.
[man] one over.
Well, I'm hoping this is a...
I'm hoping this is money.
Sounds like they saw the 200s and better but...
I don't know.
And I know john. John is john.
John doesn't lie, he just embellishes.
Everything is bigger with john.
All right. We'll get a hauling
to see what's in them.
Might be the... Might be the ticket.
[narrator] two hundred twenty miles southeast.
Look at that [bleep] thing right there.
[narrator] on the saga...
[man] [bleep]
woo!
[bleep] that one's big.
That's what a 30-foot wave looks like.
My mom told me there'd be like this,
but, what I wish she would have told me
was how many there were gonna be.
[jake] set everything back.
I thought maybe there's still crab here.
I wanna know
that the decision I made to set back
was a good decision.
The back's against the wall,
I have the fish.
I'm in the red.
[narrator] instead of making a costly move
to new grounds,
captain jake stakes the season
on what he hopes is a successful setback.
[jake] let's get it going.
I set 75 pots here, so it's everything I got.
-Yeah. -[man laughs]
let's see.
[man] got it.
[narrator] this week on salty takes.
[johnathan] so, here we are,
we just grabbed our computer from bill.
That's pretty nice of him.
I don't say much about bill.
Nice bill.
Wild bill.
Wild bill's hair is on the cover of good guy weekly.
Actually it was on the cover for hair blowers
association of america.
Wild bill gives himself a blowing every morning.
That's why these ladies [bleep] him.
Do not hate me
because my hair is so beautiful, I'm bill.
Lot of captains don't have hair and makeup going on.
[laughing]
[narrator] he's just jealous, bill.
On the saga...
I set 75 pots here, so it's everything I got.
-Yeah! -[man laughs]
let's see.
[man] got it.
[jake] there's crab here.
One, two, three.
Here we go.
We got the fresh crab here.
I was right.
[bleep], yeah.
[men cheering]
there's [bleep] crab here.
[man speaking]
yeah, dude.
[man] awesome.
Is it good?
[jake speaking]
this is huge for me.
[man] all the way.
I just hope that there's more in there.
Come on, no holes, no holes.
[man speaking]
[laughing]
[man] [bleep] awesome.
[jake] oh, my god.
I never setback.
Hey, nice clean crabs.
[jake] that strategy I just did worked.
That is crazy.
I can't believe that worked.
[man speaking]
that's a setback, dude.
[man speaking]
[joe] it's unreal what's going on right now.
Jake put us in some hot [bleep]
and we'll just keep [bleep] rolling [bleep] quick.
The day we setback
when everybody was getting nothing
in the day I setback
and was getting 800 crab per pot.
Okay. I know it was 300
but we're gonna stretch it, okay?
Let's just keep that...
Let's keep that between us.
[narrator] two hundred eighteen miles northwest
on the summer bay.
John gave us the numbers for some coordinates,
so here we are.
[narrator] after dismal fishing,
a breakdown and a four-day round trip to dutch,
captain wild bill puts the hillstrand intel
to the test.
[wild bill] I just need to see numbers here.
I'm in a hurry.
Hey, hey.
[men shouting]
that's what we're looking for.
[man cheering]
[man] yeah [indistinct]
[man] yeah.
And this is looking good here.
These are nice, big king crab.
One ninety seven.
[wild bill] getting to the real numbers now.
We can do some work on that.
One-ninety-seven.
Short but I'll take it.
Come on, baby, give me...
-[man] [indistinct] -...Deuce and a quarter.
Deuce and a quarter. Deuce and a quarter.
[men cheering]
[man] yeah, baby.
[man speaking]
copy.
I called two and a quarter, it was two-thirty-five.
[man cheering]
[man speaking]
oh, happy day.
[phone ringing]
[johnathan] hi, man.
[wild bill] hey, johnathan.
[johnathan] hey, bill.
-What's up, buddy? -Hey, dude.
[johnathan] how are you doing?
Good, man.
We ended up in that spot you gave us.
Two-fifty to three hundred with a big clean crab,
and this is the prettiest crab I've seen
so far right here, in our pot.
[johnathan] okay, good. Good, bill.
You're good... You're good to go.
Thanks, bill.
Yeah, you bet, man.
Have a good trip.
I appreciate you, brother.
Okay. Thanks.
Here we go.
Oh, yeah!
Yeah!
There's crab up here, you know,
there's miles of crab.
We're gonna all get it through...
Each other through this together.
We can... We started this together
and we're gonna finish it.
[man] oh, my god.
[narrator] just outside saint paul harbor...
[casey] oh, I think they're backed up now.
What is it?
We have 21 boats,
uh, in the same part right now
including the guys right at the dock.
And that's a lot.
And they're not a whole lot of docks based
in saint paul.
[narrator] while their gamble in the deep
filled their tanks,
being force to haul slowly
caused josh and casey time at sea
and a position in the queue.
This is the most I've ever seen here actually.
Look at this.
I mean, this is a lot of boats in general.
This is more, this a lot more.
So, we got stuff going on here.
[josh] you know, it's bottom of the ninth.
Yeah, we really need some good stuff
happening here.
But for now,
we're just playing the waiting game.
We shall see.
It is what it is.
