The person that Jonathan had a problem with Keith poaching is still on the Wizard...he was a deck hand and he told Jonathan about it right before the bonfire incident. The issue wasn't over Russell at all...and I agree, I think they were actually laughing about the guy on the Wizard ending up with Russell. Another old deck hand had come to work on the Wizard and they knew they had one too many at the end of Opie season...which is why they had to let go of one hand, which turned out to be Russell (or at least that's how I remember it). I agree that Jonathan is mugging for the cameras.

I think the one that Keith is accused of poaching is a crew member on the Time Bandit and is still on that ship. Jonathan has let this show go to his head and seems to be trying to make good TV

Discovery has posted an edited (taking out all the dead space and Ustream hosts) version of Captain Phil Harris' memorial: http://bit.ly/cYvnoG

But they were a little ticked when they found out that the Kodiak picked up Russell after the Wizard let him go. That's what I was talking about. They think it's funny, but seem to take it personal when Russell seems to get back on his feet. The gun thing was just stupid and crazy, and I wasn't amused at all. I remember liking him a lot more before Andy started coming on the boat. Or if Andy was always there, he didn't get a lot of air time. Anyway, I now kinda zone out when they are on. But the deckhand running around in the underwear was pretty funny.

Thanks everyone for the help. I remember at the end of last year's king-crab season, Jonathan and Andy needed to make room for Jonathan's son, and had to choose between Russell & (I think) Mike Fortner(sp?). Jonathan said it'd be tough, cuz Russell was a long-time friend. (I wanna say for over 20 yrs, but don't hold me to it.) Jonathan even called Keith and asked him if he was still short a deckhand, and that Russell was available. So I really don't get the bad blood there, now. And as far as I'm concerned, if I never see Andy again, it'll be too soon. He's starting to come across as a real a**. I did catch the part where the Kodiak captain called the Time Bandit to thank them for the heads-up about where some crab was, and then told Jonathan he'd picked up Russell at the dock. The Kodiak captain said it was only right that he let Russ's former-boss know. Sounds like Russell was let go cuz the Kodiak wasn't catching enough? And not cuz of attitude/laziness? Hope so-like I said earlier, I enjoy his side-bars, and hope he's not the lazy type.

I never could really make out what Jonathan said about Keith's brother that was the point when Keith actually got angry when they were at the bonfire....did anyone catch that?

Jonathan said that Keith tried to kill his own brother, Monty. I think it had to do with the putting the tarp on during that bad storm.

I WILL say I can't stand the way Keith treats his brother. I understand his brother works for him, but I certainly don't treat my employees the way he does. BTW, the tarp thing....I was thinking bad idea before they ever tried to do it. That was like watching a train wreck.

I don't know if anyone is interested in this, but I found something interesting the other day. I found out that Sig Hansen has written a book - "North by Northwestern: A Seafaring Family on Deadly Alaskan Waters" by Mark Sundeen and Captain Sig Hansen. I found it on Amazon.com and got it on my Kindle for 12.99. While ordering that book, I saw another book of interest. "Time Bandit: Two Brothers, the Bering Sear, and One of the World's Deadliest Jobs" by Malcolm Macpherson, Andy Hillstrand, and Johnathon Hillstrand. I will let you know if these books are any good - that is, if any one is interested. Oh, and the Hillstrand book was cheaper - it was $9.99 for the Kindle. Another poigniant episode last week. Captain Phil continues to pull at my heartstrings. A lot of his comments seem prophetic in light of his soon-to-happen death. One thing is for sure - he really loved those boys of his and got so much pleasure sharing his love of fishing with both of them, no matter how much they aggravated him! :-)

I don't have cable, so I never see the show. But, was in a hotel room this weekend and got sucked into the Deadliest Catch marathon. It was so good. It looked like the series hadn't gotten to the part where Phil passes yet. To see Phil in his normal trailer life, giving himself shots, knowing he'll never be able to fish again... right after an episode where he 'smelled the fish farting'. Sad stuff.

The show is into January 2010 now (Opelio Crab). Phil passed away in the beginning of February (I think I read he was at the dock and they were unloading when he collapsed).

Yankee, I watch online, but I'm about 3 weeks behind, maybe 2 but I think 3 now. I left off when Sig went blue crab fishing up near Russia alone. I haven't wanted to watch since I kept being scared "this would be it" since Opie season started. So sad. And I'm stunned by some of the comments Capt Phil made. I've heard and read over and over that some part of us knows we are moving on, especially when we are younger with more unfinished business. Phil's comments sure seem prophetic, and something lasting for his boys to refer to for lessons and guidence. And, well, just plain heartbreaking to watch. I really can't imagine this show without him. He was the captain we all cared about, with the biggest heart and soul and a way of making you love him and his family no matter how much he yelled. Maybe cause the yelling was filled with love and concern most of the time, and not just stupid like some of them. There's going to be a HUGE void in this show IMHO. Not sure how it will hold up. I think of every Capt his is by far the on that would have the very largest impact on not being there, and being missed. As is, I felt they have cut his time to be able to stretch out his footage for more eps. Last show I saw he was on in the beginning & end. I was pretty bored in the middle lol.

Lurk, I've wondered the same things about Phil-the things he says about his time with the boys, etc. Cynical me, just figured he's said things like that all along, but TPTB are editing them in more than in the past. And yep, his yelling doesn't bother me like Andy's or Keith's. And I now have a new crush-the Kodiak skipper. mmmmmmmm

Hmmmm....maybe Blue. But it just seems SOOO spot on that, well, I'm sticking with prophetic unless I see any reason to change that thought. He just never seemed the type to talk that way, you know? I think his yelling is so much easier to take because he is like me. I have a flash flood temper (which I can usually control but when I reach a point I BLOW). Then as soon as I get it out, like instantly, I'm over it. He struck me as the same way. No petty grudges, no agendas, he just blew and then got back to being himself. So I understand that. Plus he never blew up about petty stuff...he was usually right when he lost it. I've wanted to bang his son's heads together several times myself LOLOL. I truly hope they have a different perspective on working together and respecting each other now they they are carrying on for their Dad! I can think of no great honor to Phil's legacy. I have wondered how much footage of Phil they didn't have time to use, and wonder if they may be some release of some of it, since now it's treasured time versus just not making the show cut.

I hope Mike Rowe is on this After The Catch. I like Ben Bailey, but on Cash Cab, not as the facilitator/interviewer on After the Catch.
