Deadliest Catch

Another episode of Deadliest Catch and we saw a glimpse into the family history of the Hillstrand family aboard the Time Bandit. Whether it’s all about genetics or the lucky crab jog it certainly has been paying off as the Time Bandit was the first to return back to port to unload it’s catch. The Early Dawn finally started her season as well after finishing up fishing for brown crabs. A prospect string deployed by them ended up coming back with very disappointing numbers. We also saw Capt. Keith on the Wizard lose his temper when he saw what appeared to have been another boat pulling his pots and circling over his string.

Capt. Phil fell asleep briefly at the wheel as his usual diet of caffeine and nicotine is no longer working for him after several long days in the wheelhouse. I guess we should have seen this coming when he wished his son a “Happy Birthday” a day before his actual birthday.

Last but not least we saw Sig’s patience wear thin as mechanical difficulties first set them back a bit while Edgar made a repair to a crane. He then lost it when he witnessed deck hand Matt eating a cheese sandwich at the sorting table. All in all just another day aboard the Northwestern.
