Elliott Neese - Deadliest Catch - Cited Possession Undersized Crab

As some of you Deadliest Catch Fans may already know. I am not an Elliott Neese fan.

I've been watching the ships on the Marine Traffic and knew the Ramblin' Rose was still fishing or at least pulling in and out of port at Dutch Harbor throughout December.  I figured they were having a really bad season, maybe fishing for Blue King Crab or both. Most of the other crews have been home quite some time now.

Jake Jolibois - Deadliest Catch Deckhand

For those of you who visit the blog often I'm sure you've figured out Captain Andy Hillstrand is my favorite Captain. Well I thought I would introduce you to my favorite deckhand Jake Jolibois. Jake has worked off and on as a deckhand on the Kodiak. He most recently took the Cornelia Marie from Ketchikan to Kodiak and did some work on her. He doesn't get a lot of airtime on Deadliest Catch but I found him on Twitter and what a load of fun!

If you don't follow Jake Jolibois on Twitter and Facebook, you really should. We have such a blast on Twitter. He is one of the few who takes the time to really talk to his fans. One night he even invited me to his house to watch the show with him. How cool is that? If I wasn't on the opposite side of the map from him, you know I would have been there. Yes he actually has fans of Deadliest Catch get together to watch the show with him.

Coast Guard Called To The Wizard - Deadliest Catch

For those of you who haven't heard yet...

The US Coast Guard was called to The Wizard on November 7, 2011. The Coast Guard Call

The man speaking on the audio speaks like the Captain, talking about his crew member but I didn't think it really sounded like Captain Keith Colburn. Some parts sounded like him but for the most part I thought it sounded like someone younger. Maybe it's just the difference between the sound on the radio and the TV. I'm pretty sure we will see when the show airs.

Calling All Deadliest Catch Time Bandit Fans!

Okay y'all we have a mission! 

As some of you may already know the Time Bandit Captains have their own brand of Vodka and Bloody Mary Mix called Time Bandit Spirits. They also have Rum coming! I'm excited about the Rum! LOL Captain Andy told me it wasn't ready yet but he would let me know when it is. I'll let you know when I know.

All three; the Rum, the Vodka and the Bloody Mary Mix come in really cool collectible bottles with pictures of the Time Bandit Captains on them. Visit Time Bandit Spirits to see the bottles and order the Bloody Mary Mix which is available now from Time Bandit Spirits or TimeBandit.TV where you'll find all your other Time Bandit Gear.

So this is our mission.

Deadliest Catch Season 7 Episode 15 - I Smell A Nightmare

"I Smell A Nightmare"

It’s almost the end of the season. Another storm is coming with 60 knot winds.

Captain Sig Hansen is wondering if they can get anything done let alone fish. Nick Mavar says I smell a nightmare, it doesn’t look good.

Captain Scott Campbell Jr of the Seabrook is getting ready to leave port he has a tight deadline to meet. He says cowboy up, put your big girl panties on, it’s gonna be a gnarly ride boys.

Deadliest Catch Season 7 Episode 14 The Island

"The Island"

Let's see who we have this week.  I'm still waiting on the cigarette prank. I sure hope they show it.

Interesting preview clips. I can't stand it the anticipation is killing me!

Deadliest Catch Season 7 Episode 13 Recap Pirate School

"Pirate School"

Josh Harris is driving the Cornelia Marie, thinking about his dad. There are clips of Phil Harris talking about getting his affairs in order so if something happened to him, their lives would be easier.

Josh says it's time to start their own legacy. Josh wants to keep the boat running he doesn't want to let his dad or himself down. They are pulling up little pots since pulling off the big numbers last week. They are getting about 30 crab a pot. Captain Tony Lara's honeymoon is over. Morale is dropping.

Hillstranded Becomes The Alaskan Monster Hunt

I had thought the spinoff show Hillstranded that caused a lawsuit in October 2010 was canceled. Evidently it was not. It was finished and renamed Alaskan Monster Hunt.

The Hillstrand brothers and the Time Bandit are on a mission to catch Alaska's version on the Loch Ness Monster. Oh my!

Deadliest Catch Vs. After The Catch

I just saw an article on the ratings for Deadliest Catch last week. The article was bragging about Deadliest Catch being the #1 Primetime cable show in certain demographics and # 3 in all of television, behind The Voice and America's Got Talent. Deadliest Catch had 3 million viewers. Great news.

After The Catch was #5 in all of cable with 1.64 million viewers. Yea!!!

Now what I don't understand is how does someone watch Deadliest Catch and not watch After The Catch? Do we have Deadliest Catch viewers that don't know what After The Catch is?

Here We Go With Sig Hansen and Dancing With The Stars Again

Well soap fans know I'm no fan of ABC/Disney due to the canceling of the soaps. But I am a fan of Sig Hansen so here you go.

With the release of Cars 2, where Sig Hansen plays Crabbie, a very appropriate name, there is talk of Sig possibly being on Dancing With The Stars again. Now, Sig says he can't dance, but I say he does okay for a white boy. Well, except that once when he fell on the floor. hahaha Love ya, Sig!

This article was written by Komo News in Seattle Washington.

Henry Kapono is singing and playing the guitar this week.

This episode is called "Save Me". Motivated by something Johnathan Hillstrand said last week. Captain Johnathan is excited he even gave a shout out to his mom. I love that Johnathan and Andy always talk about their mom. I learned last week she runs their Time Bandit store.

Mike Rowe, Johnathan Hillstrand, Andy Hillstrand, Sig Hansen and Keith Colburn are at the table.

Deadliest Catch Season 7 Episode 12 Recap It's Not All Mai Tais And Yahtzee

"It's Not All Mai Tais and Yahtzee"

The show starts out with clips of the storm. Captain Sig Hansen screaming "Get down Get down" again. Finally the storm lets up, now they have to catch up on all the fishing they've missed during the storm.

Captain Scott Jr says he's going to try and get the boat full and push through to the end.

Deadliest Catch Season 7 Episode 11 Birds Bones And Blood

"Bird Bones And Blood"

The Deadliest Catch cast has said there were a lot of broken bones this season. I expect we will start seeing them this week after watching last weeks storm.

Ok, so let's see.

Deadliest Catch After The Catch Hawaii 2011

After The Catch has moved from New Orleans to Oahu, Hawaii. I wish I was there!

The boys are at a place called The Shack.

Well I'm excited to see what we'll learn from the Captains after everything that has went on so far this season.

Deadliest Catch Season 7 Episode 10 Recap Frontier Medicine

"Frontier Medicine"

Opie Season continues amidst the Artic hurricane. It's ugly out.

The Northwestern gets hits with a thirty five foot wave that nearly shattered the front window of the wheelhouse. Captain Sig Hansen decides to quit fishing since he can't control what he wants the boat to do.

Johnathan and Andy Hillstrand and Sig Hansen On Rachel Ray

OMG too funny the boys went on Rachel Ray. I almost missed it, because I don't usually watch Rachel Ray. My mom does though, she emailed me to let me know they were on. Of course I got the email too late, I thought.

Finally something good out of the Casey Anthony Trial. Since all of the local networks have been airing the trial all day Rachel Ray didn't air until 2am so I was able to watch it. Yea!!!!

Deadliest Catch Season 7 Episode 9 Recap Sea Change

"Sea Change"

The sea is certainly changing. We've got crew changes and sea changes with the hurricane coming.

Here we go. Opie season begins. We have a new song at the beginning, and clips of the crews at the bar, the crew, saying hello or good bye to their family. More clips of Captain Keith putting hands on someone pushing him down the hallway, looks like he's ready to punch him, maybe Art Peterson or possibly Monty Colburn, hard to say from the short clip. Lenny Lekanoff getting stitches. Someone getting smacked in the face with the crane hook, Sig Hansen is screaming at the crew to get down as a big wave crashes aboard the Northwestern. A clip of Mike Fourtner with blood coming from his the bridge of his nose. He must be the one that got hit with the crane hook. Then a clip of  Freddie Maughtai with blood all over his face and in his mouth. Knowing Freddie he was probably eating something and got the blood all over himself.

Dale Pruitt New Deckhand - Cornelia Marie - Deadliest Catch

He may be a new deckhand, but he is definitely not a greenhorn. Dale Pruitt has been fishing since he was 14 years old on several different varieties of  boats. He has known Tony Lara for twenty years.

Dale Puritt and some of his family members (son, daughter and a niece) survived a shipwreck aboard a salmon boat in 2007, the F/V Magnum.

Troy Huls "Chief" - Engineer On Cornelia Marie

Troy Huls or "Chief" is one of the new engineer/deckhands aboard the Cornelia Marie.

Troy knew Tony Lara when Tony was Captain Phil Harris' engineer. He has fished since 1986, wow, that's twenty-five years. Troy says he doesn't like fish or crab and doesn't eat it. I think I would feel the same way too if I was on a fishing boat all the time.
