Deadliest Catch

Capt. Phil and the Cornelia Marie continue to struggle to find the crab as time dwindles down.  He tries looking towards the other captains for help on the radio but nothing but silence is heard as the other captains aren’t to eager to be giving up their honey hole.

The Northwestern continues to do well seeing good numbers of crab in every string.  Capt. Sig continues to work his men hard as Edgar and himself have a little fun seeing who can continue on without sleeping.  Capt. Keith on board the Wizard is also pushing his crew very hard working on a string of pots called the “Mankiller”  Working with a man down, they are forced to haul over 50 pots in a 12 hour span.  His crew is getting pretty well banged up but the captain finds a way to keep them together.

Over on the Time Bandit it is revealed their skipper, Jonathan had an eye opening experience just three weeks before when he slipped going onto the boat at the dock and plunged into the 38 degree water.  Now he gets another wake up call when his son, Scott Hillstrand decides to leave the boat feeling it just isn’t something he wants to spend his life doing.  After a few weeks of finally spending some real quality time alongside his son, Jonathan realizes that this is coming to an end.  More importantly him, this may also foretell  the eventual end of the Hillstrand family tradition aboard the boats.
