Batter Up!

Greetings Fishies!

Last night we were treated to more fantastic camera work. As in last week’s episode there were a few tense moments regarding the maneuvering of the vessels. Those situations are quite real and very nerve wracking, as was depicted.

So what were we left with? Complaining crew, worn out pranks and green horns. The circumstances regarding the green horn are quite curious. It will be interesting to see how they play it out – how badly they are trashed and if they really deserve it. After the way the producers have treated others, I am not optimistic. We’ll just have to watch and see who gets it and who doesn’t.

The grumbling and fighting on the deck of a couple of the boats is reminiscent of what went on aboard the Western Viking in season one. There are some deckhands that are a double edged sword. Stellar performers in their work and beyond negative every time they open their mouths. There is a line that many fishermen use: “You know that guy everyone likes to work with until he opens his mouth?” And they stare straight at the person they are talking to, because it’s that guy.

It was interesting to see some of the survivors from seasons past on After the Catch, and note what they are doing these days. I almost felt sorry for Jonathan and Russ when they slipped up regarding the order the TB rescue happened in. Sure, they caught themselves, but it was there.

And finally they showed you something almost useful. Survival suits and rafts, what goes into them and kinda sorta how they are deployed. I have never understood why they have not explored this area more for you; there is a lot to learn!

Stay tuned!
