Really enjoyed the finale and getting to see the Northwestern arrive at home. Seeing how those guys love their families and the smiles on the kids faces was great. Another successful season. Hope it's back next year!!!

Kinda off topic, kinda on topic, but I wasn't going to start a new thread for this new show which is a limited series. It's called "Lobstermen: Jeopardy at Sea" and it will be on for two weeks starting next Tuesday. Discovery - 9:00 Central/10:00 Eastern.

Hey, Huk: along the lines of your earlier comment (I guess their drive comes from making as much or more money in 1 or 2 weeks at sea as most of us make in a year. I think I would sure like to try that job...)... When I was in college I used to read in the school paper ads for jobs fishing up north. After watching seasons 1 and 2 of the Deadliest Catch, I've just got to say that I am sure glad I never followed through with any of that (not that I think they would have hired a 20-year-old girl).

(comments from someone who just watched) Holy Toledo. I set tivo to catch the reruns and now have finished watching them all. Who on earth would have thought crab fishing would be so intriguing, dangerous, exciting, (plus that one skipper is very handsome). Please catch the re-runs if you can. This show is so good! When I saw that one skipper on finale episode stroll off with a hot looking Blondie, I was like "I knew it!"..LOL

It was only on for two weeks, but the Lobstermen are on a vacation compare to the Deadliest Catch.

Agreed, Lexie_girl. Whatever happened to that one ships pots? They couldn't find them and wondered if someone poached them (or something like that). Definitely a luxury cruise compared to the deadliest catch.

My take on what happened to the pots was that the squid fishermen's "skimmers" drug the pots along the ocean floor.

Deadliest Catch was nominated for four Emmys, including nonfiction series.

How in the world could anyone even consider eating crabs after seeing them stepped on and smoked over by the fisherman!!! I find the constant smoking right on top of the crab to be extremely disgusting!

I see your point, but you don't eat the outside...

Heck Sugar. You'd probably never eat again in you knew what went on with all other food before it gets to your table. So I figure a little smoke can't be that bad.

True enough some bad stuff happens. My father is a federal meat and poultry inspector, and he is one of the good guys. GO DAD!!!! I remember him telling me once that he came around a corner of a packing plant and saw someone picking up a barrel of meat that had spilled. They saw him and groaned because they knew they couldn't get away with using it.

Did anyone catch "America's Deadliest Season" which premiered this past Tuesday on Discovery? Sig from the Northwestern was also on this one. This show is as great as Deadliest Catch.

I think that is the mini-documentary that started the whole series. Premiered in 2004.

Thanks Tero. I do have a question. They keep confusing me regarding the "season." Exactly how long is the season? Is each boat only allowed to catch so many pounds and that is their season? I'm confused because they refer to it as a three month season. I'm very confused as to how long they actually work. Does my post make any sense????

been lurking for awhile...now I finally have something to post! My husband & I were at SEA-TAC airport last Wednesday, and we met Sig, Captain of The Northwestern. He seemed rather surprised that we knew who he was. Told him that we really enjoyed the show. He said he & the crew will be on again next year. I also told him that Edgar's pic was in TV Guide a few issues ago, and he seemed surprised by that. He said the crew was currently out fishing salmon and that this was the first time since he was 14 that he was home for the summer. Nice guy, I don't think he's used to being recognized by total strangers though. Before he left, he mentioned they now have a website http://www.fvnorthwestern.com/index.html
