Deadliest Catch Season 7 Episode 1

Yea!!!! It's finally here. 

If your not caught up with some of the stuff that happened in the off season look to the right for the Deadliest Catch link for previous posts.

The show starts off with a memorial to Captain Phil Harris. I really wanted to see them trying to get the stuck urn open. They laughed so hard about it at CatchCon, I really thought we'd get to see it.  That man is certainly missed by a lot of people.

The King Crab season begins! Wow has Jake Anderson been promoted? He's in the wheelhouse with Captain Sig Hansen deciding where to go crabbing. Go Jake!

All the Captains are mapping out their routes. I'm ready for the biting off the head of the herring.

Deadliest Catch 7 - 2011 - Hillstrands and Hansens Return

There is news here but I don't think any of it is real spoilers... so safe to read.

Some of you may have heard there was a legal dispute between Johnathan and Andy Hillstrand with The Discovery Channel, and they were not returning to the show.

Well here's the scoop. In October, 2010 it was reported that The Discovery Channel sued the Hillstrands for $3 million for failing to finish work on a spin off show called "Hillstranded".  The Hillstrands counter sued saying that the lawsuit would force them to sell their boat, so they quit the show. To show support of the Hillstrands, Sig Hansen also quit the show. Go Sig!
