Seems that I need to give you a little clarification regarding the status of the fishing vessels that are participating in the Deadliest Catch Season 3. In my earlier listing of the boats I mentioned that there were 4 major and 4 minor. The major boats are those that have several camera/producers aboard. The minors are those with one stationary or fixed camera. It is possible that there was a camera person aboard the minor boats - we will have to wait and find out!
In one post on the Discovery Channel's Fan Forum an individual was just a wee bit on the hasty side in assuming I was being derogatory by using the major/minor terminology. It was not I who decided the status, that was up to the producers of the show - Original Productions. It is only in terms of the amount of filming being done aboard the boats - it has absolutely nothing to do with the history, ability etc of the boat.
Let me remind you that the opilio season has yet to be filmed and it is always possible that those roles may be reversed, other boats added and some deleted. And with the creative editing that they seem to like to do, who knows what could happen!
Regarding the Time Bandit: Yes indeed the Hillstrand brothers sold most of their king crab quota. I am uncertain as to when this occurred and when and how their crew was informed of this. Suffice it to say that the crew we saw and loved is not aboard the boat for king crab. At the last moment some king crab quota was looking for a boat to fish it and the Time Bandit was available. This will give them a bit more face time. I certainly hope that the film editors will tell us the full and true story about it all.
The Rollo was not filmed for DC Season three king crab. I have no information regarding the reason why. What I have been told is that due to the shenanigans on deck, the boat was booted out of their insurance pool. Far too much of a risk. Perhaps that has something to do with it - and then again - perhaps not!
Stay tuned!
