you're probably right.
It is a little dirty.
Point taken.
I like you for you who are.
"I love you
for who you are."
Uh, jake, you might want to get
some more wipes.
Can you imagine?
Stuck on the boat
with johnathan.
Don't get me wrong,
I love the guy, but sheesh.
Narrator: on the saga-bandit...
Man:
money, money, money!
...with an offload
just hours away...
Jake: if it doesn't pay off,
all my profits will go poof,
So the stress is
mounting up.
...captain jake gambles
on crab whisperer
Johnathan hillstrand's hunch
That old grounds
dubbed the gooseneck...
This might save our season
right here.
...hold a treasure
trove of reds.
♪
Oh, [bleep]
♪
Not bad.
That's good, nice wide,
big males.
Crew: ah, ah, whoa, whoa!
You alright?
Hey, I'm just gonna curb
my enthusiasm 'til the next pot.
I don't want to get
too excited yet.
Oh yeah.
Narrator:
37 crab is nearly half the yield
of the entire last pick,
But jake needs
the numbers to hold.
Old stomping grounds
set my day up.
Coming in with some heat, baby.
Oh, yeah, baby.
That's going to be even better
than you thought!
Yeah!
Front-row seat
to "deadliest catch."
All right.
I'm telling you.
That's going to be 60.
-80!
-80?
Whoo-hoo-hoo!
-Whoo!
-Coming in with some heat, baby!
Damn, that's a big boy.
Yeah, baby.
That's something else there.
-Whoo!
-We're making money now.
Man: oh, yeah.
When everybody is hyped up,
Everybody is just ready
to turn and burn.
37.
That's a gangster seven.
Here we go, boys. Whoo!
Booyah!
Holy moly!
Massive amount of crab.
40.
40.
49Er.
Wow!
[ Laughs ]
Narrator: after taking less than
1,000 pounds of crab
In five days...
John, you never cease
to amaze me!
...johnathan's hotspot
at the gooseneck lands
Over 1,000 pounds
in just three pots.
Probably one of the best
strings we've had all season.
I don't know how he gets
so lucky
Or if there's 39 years
of experience behind it.
I told you!
That's king crab fishing.
Narrator: 230 miles southwest,
in dutch harbor...
...forced into town
to repair his fried engine...
For some reason,
we had an injector fail.
It left us hanging.
...with the help of engineer
billy greenstreet jr.,
Captain wild bill struggles to
get the summer bay back online.
What?
So...
[ Sighs ]
[bleep]
That probably caused
The injector to fail,
I would imagine.
To keep from damaging
the engine,
The fuel injector's
exhaust valve needs an overhaul
That would cost seven days
and $40,000.
If you just stuck a new one in,
would it run?
Yep.
Well, we got
four days in her?
You ought to
go out with us.
What do you think?
I could make the trip.
Okay, so I'm holding you
hostage on this one.
Bill throws caution
to the wind,
Betting on a little duct
tape and bubblegum
To keep him in business.
Okay.
Bill: that spot that we found
at the end,
We could have probably
finished our stuff there.
Now we're going to get back.
We'll get what we get out
of our gear and have to [bleep]
Look again.
It's just time, you know?
Time is money.
The longer we're up here,
the less we make.
Scott: okay, boys.
There's pots coming up.
Man: ready for some crab.
It's been a stressful day.
I can tell you that.
-You ready?
-Come on.
Just give me the last few crab.
Whoo!
Come on!
Here we go.
Here we go.
Get me some crab.

Yeah, I got you.
How's it going, sr.?
Oh, really?
What's going on?
-Whoo!
-The golden crab permit?
Yeah, I know,
it's a huge opportunity.
All right,

sitting on the sidelines
Trying to recover,

would ever come.
