I should have posted the article. It says there will be five ATC episodes.

Yeah for Mike Rowe's return.

About Phil and his prophetic stuff...Phil knows by this season that he has a serious life-threatening illness. Perhaps he has spent a lot of time thinking about what is important in life and this season it really has come front and center in his life. We know he has always loved his sons, but perhaps now more than ever he is able to show it, and also he knows it is important that he grow them into men because he knows he is sitting on a time bomb (although I don't think he expected to die like he did).

I think Edgar is hurting and homesick. His back is damaged and he wants to be at home with his family.

I think Phil's death might change the dynamics of several of the crews.

These ATC episodes will be heart-wrenching.

I agree, the Kodiak captain is a hottie. Silver backed gorilla indeed!

My DVR didn't record anything on Tuesday, but it shows it is recording a new episode next Tuesday. Was there a new episode this past Tuesday? If so, did I miss anything good?

bwahahahaha! Actually, I can't really reall specifics about this week's show. I guess it was nothing out of the ordinary or I would remember. But they did delve into the Edgar/Sig relationship a bit. Edgar is seeming to be very unhappy this year, and it isn't just about his injured back. He just turned 39 and I think he's recognizing that he can't stay at the rail the rest of his life and be left with a body that functions. I love Edgar!

I wonder if Edgar wants his own boat, rather than work for his brother. Edgar is adorable.

I seem to recall that Edgar has said in the past that he doesn't want to be the captain...but that might change as he gets older.

Isn't there another Hansen brother that doesn't like being shown?

There was another one on a few weeks ago, and I recall being STUNNED there was another brother. (I'm almost positive it was this family...we have too many Captains and Brothers in the crabbing biz lol). He lost a man while he was captaining I think it was a salmon boat, and they got him to finally discusses it and heartbreakingly cry. It was the episode where they boats switched back the Jakes, it's coming back to me now. So yeah had to be a Hansen lol. Seeing Jake in the wet suit almost go under set him off and he was truly upset. It was one of those raw moments where I just wanted the cameras to go away and leave the poor man alone.

He didn't really look like them...rounder face, harsher in some ways. But oh so sad!

One more comment about Edgar. He's been mentioning wanting more time with his family for the last few seasons. I think now that they have books out, are popular for speaking engagements, have earned tons of money from fishing (per him) and there may be ways to keep his family financially secure without being away from them for months at a time risking his life, I think it's even more pressing to him.

After awhile a lifestyle just doesn't seem to make as much sense anymore I think. Esp if you are a family man in a good marriage. I think some, like our beloved Capt Phil were truly married to the sea and belonged on it. Others, like Edgar, should be smart and go be with their family at a certain point. JMHO of course.

And FWIW, I may not always love his personality, but I think Andy is the really good looking one!

Lurk, the deckhand that lost a man while skippering a salmon boat was Nick Mavar (sp?). Don't think he's a Hansen, but think they said he's Jake's uncle.
IIRC, and I may not cuz I'm old, lol, but I think the other Hansen is Norm. And he wasn't "on camera" much in prior seasons, so don't know if he's still on the boat or not. Let's see, there's Andy, Johnathan, and Neil Hillstrand right? Yep, pretty sure the other Hansen was Norm. (Now I gotta go look, or it'll drive me nuts!)
Roxip, that's my take on Phil's comments, too. He's been at "death's door" and so was taking things less for granted. Again, I agree he probably didn't think the reaper would come knocking again so soon.

OK, it is Norm Hansen. http://fvnorthwestern.com/crew-2/norman-hansen/
And I guess there's no family relationship between Nick and Jake. I'm sure I heard Mike (narrating) say that Nick was Jake's uncle. http://fvnorthwestern.com/crew-2/jake-anderson/

You guys are GREAT! Thanks for more or less explaining who is related to whom. Well, at least I got Uncle Nick's story, as well as what he was fishing, right lolol. I too am certain Nick was related to someone.

And I don't disagree w/all of you about Capt Phil. I don't think he consciously thought it would be anywhere near this soon. That said, I've just heard of WAY too many similar stories of folks saying out of character prophetic things shortly before unexpected deaths. So I still think there's a real possibility that on some level our soul knows. Doesn't mean we quite get it. Hope that makes sense. It's so hard to discuss complicated life philosophies in these whittle boxes LOL

Nick is Jake Anderson's uncle on his mother's side. That's how he got the job as greenhorn on the Northwestern. It was a life changing job to a kid who had a pretty messed up life. Jake Anderson has survived alcoholism. He's in his later 20's yet still looked liked a kid when he started, he's starting to look more his age. Edgar has always taken a liking as if he was a younger brother.

I get you, Lurk. I've known people too, who've somehow just known that they didn't have a lot of time yet, no matter what their doctors said. Maybe some of us are just more in tune.
Landi, I've noticed how quickly Jake seems to be aging, too. Wow, he looked like he was about 10 when he first started. This season, he looks like I could go out with him and not be called a cougar...lol

Lurk....I agree about Andy LOL!

Norm was just shown for a split second recently I think.....so I believe he's still there...or I could be wrong and that was a rerun.

I feel badly for Jake. He's aged a bunch since he's been on the boat, but he's also lost his sister....remember, Nick was told first about the sister so he could tell Jake? I thought it was sad when he said something to the effect of he was the family breadwinner. Aparently, he has a lot of stress on him.

Jake Anderson is 29. He lost his sister and his father within the last year. He's the major breadwinner now for his family. Wear as Jake Harris is only 23

What I can't believe is that with the technology available to us that crab-fishing is still such a difficult physical grind and that these men have to risk life and limb to catch crabs.

I can't believe that once the fishermen have caught their quotas that the crab processors will shortchange the boats during the weigh-in process and will throw out large portions of crab if there are any of the wrong species in a brailler (sp?).

I can't believe the men who fish for crab have such a deep passion for fishing that they return season after season to work so hard, get no sleep, risk their health and very lives--all not knowing whether or not they'll actually have a good season.

They're gamblers in the truest sense of the word, and they love and are loved. I appreciate what they do, but at what cost? If there were a crab fisherman in my family, I'd probably try and talk him into staying in port; there are so many risks out on the Bering Sea.

I think though, that they basically earn a year's salary in 2 months. I'm sure that drives some of them to do what they do. I would be barfing before we left the dock, so I admire their ability to be out there in such horrible conditions!

LOL Huk...I can LOOK at a boat and throw up!! I remember the guys on the Northwestern for king crab made 50g...add to that opelio and they can stay home 8 months of the yr. It's hard, dangerous work, but I can see why they would do it....especially if they aren't trained to do anything else. Maybe some of our favs can retire running boat trips in Hawaii.

When Jake was late getting on deck, my first thought was he was hungover, but I thought I'd heard that they don't take alcohol with them on their trips. The last minute of the epi just left me gobsmacked. Wow. Wasn't he arrested recently for DUI?
