Central Bassman Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 I cant blam the guy for not being able to watch it or go back. I dont think it would be a job i would want to do. The money could be great but still. I have watch this show seen it started last year. I like it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Cloud Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Now this is reality TV!!! Saw the recap show from last season and it was great, cant wait for this season. Yep never complain about the price of crab legs. You see the guy get hit in the back with the chunk of ice that fell off the rigging? He was a few inches from a head injury or worse. And talk about cold, my hands are cold just sitting here...Love watching UFC also... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
genegodawa Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 As my dad used to question "you got sh%$ for brains boy?"Me? I'd just as soon sit in my 14' rowboat and eat bluegill instead of crab-but even that's not 100% guaranteed safe! Last year I fell out of the darn boat while lifting my anchor. I'd NEVER make it on deck of those crab/fishing boats.Lots of kudos to the deckhands from me. They earn their pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Central Bassman Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 I think tonight will be a CRAZY episode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Yeti Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 This weeks was pretty good. Injury, some practical jokes and a broken boat. Normally on Tuesdays, they will show the previous week or 2 episodes before they start the current week at 8:00 cst. This series is awesome. Watch it every week. The rookie captain, Blake Painter on the Maverick is doing good. Lets see if he can keep it up and stay on the crab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Yeti Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Found out tonight during the show that crab clusters can move as far as 4 miles a day.. wow.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Central Bassman Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Yea this is a great show. I like the punk job they did on the time bandit with the flower... I love playing tricks on ppl like that. I think that Blake should of keep his mouth shut after the CM told him about the hot spot. But he is young and will learn fast. I hope the CM can get back out there ASAP and keep on fishing Them and the Northwestern are my two favoirte boats i think. All the guys are cool but i like them two crews Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryce Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Have they said what happened to the old crew of the Maverick? Did they refuse to work for Blake or did Blake refuse to have them work for him? Occasionally see a show called I believe "Sea Cowboys". Fishing salmon in a crowded river with fairly large boats. Looks like walleye opener in MN.

Black_Bay Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 The discovery channel has a forum that has some interesting info. Some of the captains post once in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McGurk Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 A normal walking pace for most people is about 2.5 mph, or an easy 4 miles in less than 2 hours. I don't think it's that big of a stretch that a crab couldn't cover that in a day's time.On Sig's boat he's got a deckhand that is going to face an 8-month jailtime if he's not done and back by a certain date. How is Sig supposed to react to that? It's Sig's job to satisfy a contract with his boat and crew, not to beat a date. That's talk that this guy wasn't upfront about it, and if he goes in early Sig is a man down to finish his season. As if he didn't have enough pressure.If I gave Blake on the Maverick that kinda of info with his promise to not repeat it, only to have it spit back out on an open channel I'd be cutting his pots (well, maybe cutting is a bit much, but you get my drift). He is an arrogant S0B, all right! He needs to pull a string of empty pots soon and get taken down a notch. So far he has only gone where others have told him, and not been much of a leader himself. He had plenty of advice to give last year when he wasn't captain, and now won't commit to anything that he already knows. Relying on others' knowledge won't fill his pots for too much longer.I like the dynamic of the Farwest Leader with the captain and his wife. It's pretty apparent who is captain of that boat.Overall a pretty good first 3 episodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach1310 Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Great show. I wish someone would give Blake a phony tip so he starts setting his pots on NOTHING!! He is a prime example of why fisherman don't tell!!! I hope the CM can get up and running, Captain Phil seems like a pretty cool guy. How many cigarettes do you think he smokes a day??? I can't get over how relaxed the Captain of the Farwest Leader is...you don't see that a lot. Can't wait til Tuesday!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Central Bassman Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 McGurk couldnt agree with you more on Blake... I also hope the CM gets going soon them guys are a good crew... as for how many cigarettes Phil smokes. I dont want to know!!! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McGurk Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 It's kinda sad how often the CM is down. I think last season it was 3 separate times, and had to go to port each time. Talk about bad breaks. Not much animosity with his sons on deck yet, but I think it's coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Cloud Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Im addicted too! I watch em all even the repeats. And record the ones I miss on the DVR...Im best friend wants to do a mock series where we are targeting crayfish. I told him we'd have to use his little 12 ft rowboat in big waves right before the lake freezes through.... We got an old downrigger for a crane now we just need to rig a pot launcher, lol!

LMITOUT Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 The Hansen brothers are going to be on "Last Call with Carson Daly" tonight for those interested. Probably set the DVR. It'd be interesting to hear what they say when they're off the boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
