Several episodes of the show have followed the trials of sinking ships or men overboard. It's the same old bond that's been shared by sailors since there have been sailors. And besides the actual family ties, there's a bond shared by everyone in the fleet. The Hansens are 2nd generation, so are the Hillstrands, and Phil Harris is breaking his sons into the game now. It's a family thing the crab fishing business. The Hillstrand brothers were there, Jonathan and Andy, the Hansen brothers, Sig and Edgar, the Harris family, Phil and his sons Jake and Josh, and a couple of others. Phil Harris apologized to Keith Colburn, which you could just tell was not an easy thing for Captain Phil to do. There's no money for either of us if we drop our pots on top of each other! Gimme a bleeping break Phil!"Īt the end of the season, Discovery did a year end wrap-up which featured a handful of the captains sitting around a big table having drinks and talking about the season. As soon as I saw his pots, I swung due west. Then they cut to a camera aboard the Wizard, and there's Keith telling the audience, "Yeah right, I'll bet Phil's over there right now calling me a bleeping bleephole because I dropped two pots on top of his. Well, any semblance of a friendship we might have had is gone. Can't fish for bleep, so he follows me around. He looked at the camera and said "Ahhh that bleeping Keith. I thought his eyeballs were going to explode. While filming, they went inside the pilot house with Phil Harris and that dude was beyond fucking pissed. Phil Harris' and the crew of the Cornelia Marie. Keith made the mistake of putting a few of his string of pots on top of those dropped by Capt. There was an episode that featured a captain named Keith Colburn, and his boat The Wizard. Go someplace else to fish asshole, I was here first. You don't plop your crab pots on top of another boat's pots. They have rules, and rules are not broken. But when the fishing is on, it's game on. Once the season is over, they're having drinks together. It's friendly rivalry, but it's rivalry to be sure. They all know each other intimately, and have for years. A recently applied quota system has leveled the field a bit but they still see each other as competition. There is enormous competition in the fleet because huge sums of money are on the line.
Then came the -20 temps, the 28 foot swells, and the half-million buck haul that he was gunning for. He had the gum, the patches, and plenty of resolve. As a smoker myself, and one who is trying to quit, I watched that one with great interest. From my estimate, he appears to be something like a 3 or 4 pack a day smoker. In one episode last season, they featured Captain Sig's attempt to quit smoking. They argue like crazy, all of them, mainly because they're under incredible stress, and they chain-smoke like motherfuckers.
