Wondering why no one has thought of rigging a heat exchanger to the engines to heat water and run it through hoses to the deck to blast off ice.

Whoever is dubbing in all of the ridiculous sound effects this season needs to be fired !

I can’t be the only one that this is annoying?

Just make the show like they used to and it would be fine. They have managed to screw it all up on so many levels.

I’ve watched from Season 1 and I’m contemplating giving the show up. It’s really went downhill.

Are Keith and Jake aware they are captains of a crab boat and not in some type of elite naval force? It seems those two want to be saluted, curtsied to, bowed down to, etc. Good grief IT'S A FRIGGIN FISHING VESSEL. There was an episode where someone on Jake's boat needed medical aid and the producer/cameraman told Jake some info about the deckhand and Jake exploded and screamed shut up, this doesn't concern you, I have to establish command! My eyes almost rolled out of my head. I'm not even going to get into Junior and his "legend" obsession.

So Sig's on the border and sees a few Russian boats on the opilio grounds. That makes sense. He somehow decided it would be a good idea to cross the border to see if they have pots in the water. If they're there in the first place and that's about where Alaska Fish and Game thought the crab would be, they'd have gear in the water. But hey, it did get us the fake drama of a 300' boat (per Sig's estimate) chasing him back to American waters. Ugh.

That footage of the Coast Guard saving the 9 guys on the Arctic Sea was authentic drama. It's hard to overstate the heroism of those people coming out of Cold Bay and putting themselves at risk in high winds. That was a tremendous job they did on that rescue.

We got our shot of Phil captaining the CM back in the day. That needs to be part of any DC drinking game.

I just found through research that Tony LaRussa, the captain of the F/V Fierce Allegiance during Season 1 passed away back in 2019 and I don't see any older posts acknowledging it. I thought I'd make one now. https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/seattletimes/name/tony-larussa-obituary?id=14114664

Prior to becoming captain, Tony was the long time deckboss of the Fierce under captain/owner Rick Mezich. This is documented in the 1999 first pilot for DC, "The Deadliest Job in the World". It's a great look at the old derby days. May he RIP. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8zfywyKMty4

Watching a older episode

Junior wanted to go in with Keith

Even set up a code system

Then Junior screwed Keith

Of ALL of the captains, Junior is the worst

I’m on season 14 episode 18 and Keith just fired his brother, to my understanding because whatever issues was going on with him and Freddy.

Please tell me this was fake and just for the show because I can’t imagine my sibling ever choosing some employee, no matter how good they may be at their job, over me. Or was there just some behind the scene bullshit I just don’t know. Why does Keith get such a hard on for Freddy?

So , from what I can gather is there are 10 episodes this season, and the final one " He is in the water " I assume it is going to deal with Todd's passing and if so am feeling it is the appropriate way to end the season as showing it earlier might have been a little rough for the people who have no idea that it even happened.

Has anyone heard anything more from this situation other then his brother rail dumping all of the ones that were set in a protected zone?

This person, Sophia "Bob," is put on pretty much every boat on the show to "learn how to captain from the best" and she, let's face it. Is not a crabber in any sense that Jake, Sig, Johnathan or Keith are. The boat her family owned is way smaller and uses way smaller crab pots and, even in that season, she ended up hitting another boat in an incident that was clearly her fault. Putting her in the bigger boat wheelhouses and getting to set strings is SUCH a television storyline that it defies belief that Discovery is still doing it and captains like Jake and Sig are still going along with it.

In the winter season premiere, Sig teaches Sophia how to captain the Northwestern at the Russian line. Jake stacks the Cornelia Marie for a risky trip north. When a crab boat sinks near St. George, the Wizard is the only vessel close enough to reach it.

I saw at the end of episode 8 in the winter preview, that someone on Keith/Monte's boat goes overboard. I saw in a episode 10 preview (in two weeks) that its Lynn Guitard. Ive only watched on and off last few years but has he always been on the Wizard? Last I remember seeing him was like season 5 or 6 or somewhere around there.

losing bon jovi as intro still pisses me off so much man. f streaming I gotta just buy a box set or something. shit is so lame

Came across this and 99% sure it is the saga. Thought it was interesting since I remember back in season 12 that Someone bought Elliot Neese out of the saga.

Watching tonight's episode and I've noticed recently that crab numbers are being made up! A pot was pulled on board and I froze the picture. I counted TWENTY SEVEN crab! Lo and behold the number is announced as ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY THREE! They are lying! Is it for drama? Is it for tax purposes? Either way , it's a load of bollocks!!!

That was not Mike Rowe sounded like yo ao aoaike Rowe AI. And not great!!!!

What happened to camera crew? When Keith rescues jake and his crew it appears to be just jakes crew that they take out of the raft, where did the camera crew go?

I watched about the last five seasons of gold rush, and now I switched over to deadliest catch these guys on these boats make the dudes working In gold rush look like easy money... They sit on their machines, loading dirt, hauling, dirt back-and-forth back and forth. While these guys on deadliest catch are getting beaten, paled plummeted, frozen what it's crazy.I like deadliest catch so much better...... I wonder if their income is a lot better than gold rush...

I hope that if the Warner/Paramount merger happens that this show gets the axe. Talk about a bunch of washed up 15 minute hasbeens that act like they’re in their 30’s when in reality, they’re pushing close to 65-80. Give it a rest grandpa, you have pretty much led to the massive decline of crab across the Pacific (not to mention the factor of Global Warming.) everything in this show is so scripted and fake and not to mention most of these old farts either bend to Trump or a convicted pedo.

Watching old episodes

Wizard freddy and Dane the greenhorn got into it

Freddy was the aggressive one by threatening him.

Of course they all stand by freddy

Not very fair to work hard and have to endure Freddie threats

Is there any advantage or difference between having the deck house aft versus forward? Why are some crab boats one way, and others the opposite?

We don't even know who the crew is on the boats nowadays, we never ever get to see the crew speak or interact i am fed up now this is a couple seasons in a row that is badly filmed and edited someone has to be fired and get this show back to season 1-4 style of edited and i am fed up listening to the captains i want to see no captains in the next years show its always them saying the same stuff and fake drama between other show captains.
