Deadliest Catch - Season 7

Re: Deadliest Catch - Season 7

Ok they just showed the guy with the severed finger tip.

What was funny about his situation was that as he pointed out, the glove on the hand that got hurt...he had written "pain" on it. The other hand, the glove said "joy."

I waffled between Mouse and Josh Harris. Josh seems to give a damn, and would certainly be the 5th man on that boat.

Need a version of sabermetrics to decide on that 5th guy.

Josh would be a solid pick too. He is a hard worker and still has some room to grow too which could be a good thing.
 
Re: Deadliest Catch - Season 7

I'd probably pick the Northwestern too, but I would consider the Seabrooke. Junior straight up catches crab, and he isn't a dink.
 
Re: Deadliest Catch - Season 7

That is a great ending to the episode right there. Sig being that father figure to Jake now AND being the guy to officiate their wedding. Jake deserves every bit of happiness that comes his way.
 
Re: Deadliest Catch - Season 7

Yup. That just revealed all doubt about what the guys think about Jake Harris, too.

Jake Anderson is going to have a boat, and sooner rather than later.
 
Re: Deadliest Catch - Season 7

You know, Kieth says "Junior is not a legend..." But man, if he keeps it up he will be. If he continues to have seasons like he did this season, we will be talking about him like we do Sig and how we did with Phil.

Jake Harris going with the formal wear for the wedding...wearing his hat backwards.

Ironic for Jonathan to survive on the TB all these years and get hurt riding a horse...

Might work down at the club... but at a wedding that's a clown costume. Contrast though between him and Josh... can it ever get bigger?

And the untucked shirt really made the ensemble.
 
Re: Deadliest Catch - Season 7

Obviously the finances of all boats are not the same whether it be expenses, ownership take, captain guarantees, etc., but there are some wide payout disparities between some boats for similar season-long hauls. For instance two boats (forget which) that each brought home slightly over $3mm in crab paid $150k and $74k to each deckhand respectively.

I used to want to give Jake Harris the benefit of the doubt but that's all gone.

I'd hop on the Northwestern, Seabrooke or the Time Bandit. I'd fish with Keith if I weren't a greenhorn.

As I it for maintenance to fix my lock...

I think the main difference is that Josh gives a **** about what happens in his life. Jake just goes around like everything should be easy street. Sad to say, a lot of this was probably set in motion way earlier in life. Josh may have had some learning to do but at least he had the fundamentals of what it takes to achieve down. Jake doesn't want nor care about achieving. He's had it handed to him so far.

And, yet, it fits him perfectly, in many more ways than one.

As I said before, I don't think Phil did either of them any favors. Josh at least has a fighting chance. Jake's headed for a crash and burn, and sooner rather than later.

I didn't watch the first few years so I have no perspective on this, but reality is 90% of their true existence wasn't viewed on the show and we don't really know which type of values Phil tried to instill in his kids. There are plenty of examples of kids of captains that appear to not have taken their lot for granted.

I think of 5 brothers that grew up together in my neighborhood. Same parents, same jobs, same schools, same house, etc., etc., etc. 4 of the brothers are married to this day, hold down jobs, no divorce, no serious picadillos I can point to, but one brother decided to sell drugs, got busted with a ton of acid in a traffic stop and won't see the light of day for nearly two decades. I would never think to blame the parents for his decisions. I think Josh is an example that Phil did most things right yet Jake for whatever reason decided to go his own way.

Phil was on a boat when both were growing up.
