Prolly one of my favorite shows....

wheel,

I like the Hillebrand Bros. and the Time Bandit. Sig's a prick but i like him too. I hope Phil gets better for Ophelia season.

^^

He does.

I DVRd last nights episode and I'm watching it now..

wheel,,

Mega props for what those guys do.

I've seen it here and there...They make good money and all, but I wouldn't want to do that for a living!

That show kicks ass! I like Sig and the Northwestern.

Love the show!

Good TV

northwestern!

not sure about that convict deckhand though

Hey! I do a show about catching crabs, too! (Sorta...)

I watch it now and then...........it is entertaining, but it is also a show about a bunch of macho men living together on a boat.......so I think it might be a bit gay.

"Deadliest Snatch", on the other hand, was a GREAT porn flick.

Great Show ...

^^ andy,

You're confusing this show with your collection of "Love Boat" Betamax tapes you cherish so much...

not that tere's anything wrong with that..

#2 Actually, Sig's a pretty nice guy (he was a couple years behind me in Shorewood High School, just North of Seattle). Notice a lot of the boats they feature are based out of Seattle. Long-time fishing industry around here, especially strong in Norwegian community.

I haven't been on any of the boats in the show, but I've been on a couple like them (just visiting, not working in AK). It's really amazing how large those boats look when docked in calm waters in Seattle, and how tiny they look when getting battered in bad AK weather and filling up with crab.

^yeah.........boats always seem smaller when you are in twenty foot swells.

My brother's boat (almost 30') seems HUGE until you start getting pounded thirty miles offshore.

They also seem a little smaller when someone has hauled a halibut the size of a barn door aboard. Then again, those are usually referred to as the "little" halibut.

^dude..........I would LOVE to catch a giant Halibut.

They taste SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good.

I went out about ten years ago from Homer, Alaska to hunt them but bad seas forced us to quit.

Yup. Brother of a former girlfriend (both 100% Norwegians) used to go fishing. One time came back with a halibut that barely fit in his truck. Biggest fish I ever saw. He said "aw, it's just a baby".

Good eating. So was the halib...

I'm sorry, that was just too crude.

^I think that most consider a 50# halibut to be an AWESOME catch.............but these things can reach around 1000#.

HOLY ****!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Could you imagine trying to reel up a 1000# flatfish???!!!

(flat bodied fish can align their bodies such that the current aids them in escape).

Halibut good!
