Heck no. I wait all year for a new season of Deadliest Catch. That is one of my favorite shows. I am completely addicted to it. I have watched every season so far. Have you ever watched After the Catch where the captains all sit around in a bar with the host Mike Rowe and talk about the season and their lives? That is really cool, too.
My favorite crew is on the Northwestern. I just love Edgar Hanson. He is such a nut. His brother is such a smart *****, too. I also really like Phil Harris, but his sons get on my nerves sometimes. I really love the Time Bandit guys, too. Oh heck, I think I love them all. I love the pranks they all play on each other. The best ones are when one boat messes with another boat like when they attached a truck to one of the Cornelia Marie's buoys. Someone also did that with an outhouse, but I don't remember who did it. Great show with crazy, bad to the bone, hard working guys. Their whole way of life is mindblowing. I'd better go make sure the TiVO knows a new season is beginning.

LOL! The outhouse episode!
They just had a recap of the one where Edgar made a dummy and dropped it down the wheel house window. Sig knew it wasn't a real person, though, cuz the legs were all tangled when it slid down. He should have played along. I said to dd that Sig should have yelled "Help him, Edgar! You can't let him drown, knowing he's really the father of your kids!" I love those two. Remember the flour bag bomb? My fave After the Catch was when they were talking about their superstitions. And Cap't Phil..... I wonder what happens with him? Crazy he lived through a pulminary embolism, tough ol' goat!

Hey Brain..our very own Steve on the PD forum was a real life fisherman. A crabber. He has some wonderful pictures and stories.
I'll have to give him a link to this thread.

Yup Phil is a tough old dude, huh? Also very blessed. Their superstitions are a big part of the show. Especially with the Hansons and I think it is Phil that won't leave port on a Friday. Sig is always talking about bad juju. They are a wild bunch and I can hardly wait for another season.

I also have a friend (w/ms) who works in a refinery - another of the top 5 most dangerous jobs. I'm trying to decide if my most dangerous job was the dairy farm or the bakery. I once had to catch a loose bull - I was 13 and 75 lbs. But then again, all those donuts!

I hope Steve finds his way over here. I would be very interested in his life as a crabber and his perspective on the show!

Hi..My name is Steve, and I am a real fisherman..I'll be signing autographs in the foyer
A little humor there folks..As April is Parkinsons awareness month, April is now, thanks to the Deadliest Catch crew, Fishermans month..I have had Parkinsons for about 6 years now..I have been a fisherman for 34 years, and still fish part time..My primary purpose for fishing was never money..It was for love..Fishing is a way of life for those who have made it a life long occupation..As you can see on Deadliest Catch everyday is a new adventure, and that is the addiction that keeps us fishing forever..I wasnt a crab fisherman, I was a trawler fisherman, a dragger..I had a 47' wooden dragger that I sold in 2006 due to worsening Parkinsons symptoms..I now have a 19' fiberglass boat that I go shellfishing with I met Capt Phil, and Capt Jonathan at the New Bedford Waterfront Festival in Sept of 2007, and got to chat with them briefly..Great down to earth friendly guys!! If anyone has any questions about fishing, more than likely I can gladly answer them My Video..http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hs5l35-BrP8

Imma "Catchhead" too! I never miss an episode.
Jonathan and his sons were on Larry King last night. I'm looking forward to the new season! My ex is a diver and spent many years diving for sea urchins, scallops and groundfishing off the coast of Maine. It was dangerous work and very worrisome when he didn't come home on time. There were many winter evenings spent waiting for the boats to return! I dove with him a few times, just to see what he did and I can tell you it's dark and scary and cold down there! Steve- I spent many years in the SE Mass/RI area. I sure do miss the Portuguese food and the shore down there! It must have been hard to give up the dragger and settle into a quieter lifestyle. I moved from SE Mass to live and work in Maine as a whitewater guide and I've quieted down a lot too, but still hang onto my guide's license and do some boating on the rivers here in Maine and on vacation to warmer climates! I live very close to the coast now and I don't think I could ever live inland- gotta be within driving distance of the ocean!
