Deadliest Catch Season 8 Episode 16 Recap

"The Bitter, Bloody End"

Wow! You can say that again. I didn't notice the title until now. LOL Very appropriate. What a season finale. I would say they saved all the good stuff for the end, but it was really a lot of bad stuff. This season needs to go down in the books as one of the worst ever, if not the worst. I'm looking forward to a better season next year.

This episode has a content warning at the beginning that it contains graphic images which some viewers might find disturbing. You know that's not a good sign. I don't remember normally seeing that before, anyway.

Deadliest Catch Season 8 Episode 15 Recap

"Release the Beast"

The full fleet is back on the fishing grounds, in the ice. Elliott thinks the sea is looking like it's going to become unfishable again.

230 to the NW of Dutch Harbor on the Time Bandit. They are getting ready to pull pots set thirty six hours ago. Capt Andy Hillstrand is 40 miles south of St. Paul. He says the ice is way below where they said it would be. How much farther south do I need to go to get away from the ice? Captain Andy is trying to get up to the end of his 25 pot string but he can't because of the ice.

"Gamblers"

Elliott Neese is at the table with Mike Rowe. Great! Rolling eyes and sarcasm. Enough with Elliott already. Mike Rowe tells Elliott he was trying to remember the other captains their first year on the show. Elliott says last year was hard because it was his first year as captain and with cameras in his face. Mike asks what changed? Last year he was telling the cameras a lot to get out of the wheelhouse. What changed? Are you finding your way? Elliott said he got to see the show last year and see what actually comes of all the filming. It's pretty cool to see yourself on TV. Mike says it seems like a new level of personal stuff with you. Why did you let us in? Elliott explains that that's what is going on in his life right now.

Deadliest Catch After The Catch Episode 3

"View From Shore"

At the table are Captains Andy, John, Keith, Sig and Elliott Neese. Johnathan is there with oxygen on. He apparently left the hospital to do the show. His idea. Then he went right back after the show was over. Mike Rowe teases him about the bull they call Snowflake. Johnathan says he had a crushed lung, 4 broken ribs one in three places and a hurt pride. Captain Keith says he shouldn't have hurt pride he got on a bull. Elliott, you cowboy'd up. Mike Rowe, you went almost point eight seconds. Everyone is laughing. Captain Sig  the table saying don't make him laugh. Captain Johnathan says you know what there was no lesson to be learned. Andy laughs. Johnathan says he just cowboy'd up. I find it interesting that we didn't see Captain Andy on a bull, with all the horse back riding he does. Was he smart enough not to do it or did they just not show us?

Deadliest Catch After The Catch Episode 2

"Ambition"

The beginning with the guys on horse back is awesome.

On the Kodiak. They are trying to retrieve gear and getting nailed with green water. They are pulling up pots of 400. Captain Bill said he has had more water come over the rail in the last two strings than he has the last two or three seasons. Those are some impressive waves. A big wave came over so high it went over the stacked pots. Captain Bill decides to shut fishing down until daylight.

Deadliest Catch Season 8 Episode 6 Recap

"Vital Signs"

Finally I get to watch Deadliest Catch.

A teaser pre show. Captain Keith Colburn is in a room with the new greenhorn Chris Scambler is on the floor. Captain Keith says he needs a pulse and blood pressure immediately. He needs to call the Coast Guard. He asks Chris are you with me? How many fingers am I holding up? He holds up two fingers. Chris says four. It looks like they are in the fore peak and Chris is on the floor. Captain Keith says alright I'm calling the Coast Guard. He runs to the wheel house, picks up the mic takes several deep breaths and calls the Coast Guard.

For those of you who missed the post with the Coast Guard call in November, here it is again. Coast Guard Call

"Alien Abduction"

Captain Keith is picking up the new greenhorn Chris from the airport. Monte has told him this is the best looking young kid he saw all summer. Chris tells Captain Keith he has never been on a boat, an airplane or been fishing. He is probably going to make an idiot of himself real quick. Chris' words.

On the Ramblin' Rose. Elliott is still getting low numbers and the crew is still battling the weather. Not a good sign for this episode when it starts out with Elliott. 

Deadliest Catch Season 8 Episode 4 Recap

"The Hook"

Mike Rowe says The three Captains fishing for Red King Crab are doing well, while the three Captains fishing for Blue King Crab aren't doing so well.

On the Seabrooke, they are having some weather with 25 foot waves. Because of the bet and the need to catch more crab, Captain Scott, Jr is still fishing. They pull up a decent looking pot with 24 keepers in it. The weather is worsening. The men on deck are discussing shutting down when the waves hit thirty. All of a sudden a monster wave comes up, nailing the deck. Over a forty footer. Captain Scott screams at the guys to take cover. No one is hurt.

The show starts out with Captain Keith talking about the Bering Sea and how it will find your weak spots.

On the Seabrooke. Captain Scott, Jr. is still pulling up low pots since Elliott started stealing from him. Captain Scott says this younger generation of people is pathetic. That's a rookie move he says. Now they are getting a lot of females and juveniles. Scott says he started the war. I'm going to end it. Mac White says this isn't fun anymore.

Deadliest Catch Season 8 Episode 2

"Turf War"

Captain Sig Hansen on the Northwestern says with the lesser quota the chance of finding crab and staying on them right away are minimal.

Captain Bill Wichrowski on the Kodiak says there is some speculation that there might not be a crab season the next couple of years. So this might be the last King Crab for him.

Captain Johnathan and Andy Hillstrand are headed to the Red Crab grounds.

Captain Scott Campbell, Jr says last year they caught 180,000 pounds. This year they are going for 300,000. Junior was the top performer of the four boats that fished Blue King Crab last year. He pulls his first pot, it has about a quarter of the pot full. He has 44 crabs which by Blue Crab standards is a stuffed pot.

Edgar Hansen is home with his kids. We see shots of Sig Hansen, Keith Colburn, Josh Harris and Jake Harris at home. Everyone is getting ready to leave.

Andy Hillstrand Interview - Deadliest Catch - NPR

I just ran across this interview Andy Hillstrand did in August 2011, on NPR Radio. It had some stuff in it I hadn't heard before, so I thought I'd share it.

There is a transcript and an audio version. Pretty darn funny. It even talks about a prank I hadn't heard where Johnathan Hillstrand is turned into a smurf. LMAO

The Cornelia Marie Is Gone From Deadliest Catch?

Well it is certainly looking like this is the case.

Ever since two of the more recent events, The Tampa Bay Boat Show and The Commercial Fisherman’s Festival I have seen several rumors that Jake and Josh Harris will not be on the Cornelia Marie this next season of Deadliest Catch, and it's looking like the Cornelia Marie won't either.

I have never liked rumors because they are often just that, rumors. But you know me I’m curious and I wanted to find out about our boys.

“High Tide”

In Oahu at The Shack the Captains gather for their last episode this season of After The Catch. Dawn Tiki is singing. I just noticed at the beginning of the show where they show the boots. The guys are wearing their jackets. It shouldn't be cold in Hawaii, certainly not the cold like they are used to.

Captains Keith Colburn, Andy Hillstrand, John Hillstrand and Sig Hansen are at the table. Mike Rowe asks were you feeling redemption out there. Captain Sig, there is always redemption where there is a good there is a bad. Mike Rowe says to Jonathan I thought you were the philosopher. Captain Andy, he’s a psychologist. Mike Rowe, Certainly if we’re going to talk about redemption then we have to bring the boys in. Because Jake and Josh Harris have had their hands full, they still have their hands full.
