To me the difference is Keith appears to be a decent fisherman. Elliot looks like a hack.
True. The one thing that gets me on the Wizard is that they always complain about their greenhorns and their greenhorns seem to fail a lot. The thing is though it seems like we really never seem to see someone on the boat giving them any kind of guidance. "Ok we need you to do this, here is how you do it." A little encouragement and effort from the deckhands could go a long way. Maybe its just the way its edited but as we have seen over and over other boats seem to be able to get a greenhorn to work out but the Wizard just cant do it.
So, Elliot is *****ing about respect after doing that to Scott?
I didn't think it was possible to lose a boat faster than the Harris boys, but he's making one helluva run at it.
Did the Harris boys lose the CM or could they just not afford to fish this season? Neither of them have enough experience to be the captain, so they'd have to hire one which is probably more than they can afford, especially if their quota has been cut in half.

Yeah, we hear Keith talk about "breaking in" the greenhorns (hazing them) like making a guy wear that stupid helmet, but every season they seem to be breaking in a new greenhorn - sometimes two or three. Meanwhile, Sig put Jake through hell on the Northwestern but the crew showed him how to do his job and now he's worked his way up (isn't he a captain of another boat in the summer?). Either Keith is screwing up when he hires these guys or the crew is hazing these guys way too much. It can't be a coincidence that ONLY one boat on the show has the same problem EVERY year. Maybe they should try not hazing the greenhorn next time...

The latter, but unless they grow up quick, fast, and in a hurry, they're headed toward the former.

I have to imagine there's a lot of off-deck family bonding on the Northwestern as such... they may hate each other in the moment or on the deck but I get the feeling is what when they get downstairs it becomes more familial... the deck is about business.... off-deck... noogies and shoulder punches.
edit: Also remember that what we see is often a 10-15 minute summary (at best) of 2-3 days or longer. I'm sure in a lot of cases they're covering "the spirit of the thing"... but its not all that goes on... most of these boats would give our home entertainment systems a run for their money.
Jerseys I would like to have:
Skating Friar Jersey

UAF Jersey w/ Polar Bear on Front
