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.

You also have to figure in the make up of the crew. How many men are on deck, how many greenhorns and how many are full full or partial shares. Then you factor in if there was repairs needed or other costs and the disparities make more sense.

I missed how much the Rambling Rose crew made this year (was on the phone) but I got to say, as much as I dislike Elliot his "friends" were whiny jerks and should have been canned. He is the captain and you are the crew, shut up. Can you imagine if they were on Keith's boat he would have thrown them off midtrip. Off the boat you can say what you like, on the boat you show the captain respect no matter what.

I may be misremembering but when Jake first showed up on the CM Phil was talking him up as a future captain from the beginning. He seemed way more coddled than Josh was who busted his butt as a greenhorn and deckhand. That may play a part in this.

Very possible. I didn't see much of the first few seasons so maybe he had a big hand in it.

That may be in spite of Phil? Don't discount the mom in all of this(I'm pretty sure you don't having kids of your own). Its obvious they are different people and thats not shocking, it happens in most families.

What is joy?

Getting married.
Seeing your farmily when you get off the boat.
Seeing my son be born.
She was a dancer in Anchorage.
 
Re: Deadliest Catch - Season 7

Captain Wild Bill and the Kodiak are parting ways. From what I am reading he may still be doing some more fishing up there to pass on some more experience to his son Zack but it will be on a different boat I guess.

Looks like 3 episodes tonight: Bait (a pre-game show if you will), the actual episode, and then some sort of feature on the Time Bandit.
 
Re: Deadliest Catch - Season 7

This Kieth and Junior alliance with the codes is neat. But the previews have made it look like Junior screwed something up along the way. Have to wait and see I guess.

Yup. I don't like anything I see out of Junior at the moment. Not cool.
