Narrator: one week into
the 2019 king season...
Jake: we just fished through
a monster typhoon.
I had a great trip --
65,000 pounds total.
Narrator: ...the american ships
brave enough
To fish through
typhoon hagibis
Are first to offload, and secure
a piece of the soaring prices.
I have a good feeling
about this next trip.
Usa! Usa!
Narrator:
but with most of the alaskan
fleet waylaid by the storm...
The russians are flooding
the market right now.
Man: yeah!
Keith:
I can just only pray that we can
get our next 100,000 pounds
Before the price
starts to drop.
Narrator: ...the russians
are on a runaway tear.
Bill:
it creates a frenzy,
Because everybody wants to get
their piece of it.
Narrator: every american sprints
to close the gap...
We got to get into
some freaking crab.
Narrator: ... No matter what
gets in their way.
All crew members to the bridge.
We are hitting the bottom.
We are hitting the bottom.
[ Indistinct talking ]
-It's shaking.
-Slow her down, buddy.
Man: I've been doing this
before you came here
From [bleep]
russia.
You better start doing
as you're told.
[ Boat horn blasts ]
Junior, what the hell
are you doing?
I don't got time
to wait for you.
-Whoa, whoa, whoa!
-Watch out!
Watch out!

He hasn't been here

I'd rather have a guy

We need to get on the crab, and

Oh, let's see.
[ Vocalizes ]
Wizard.
Keith.
There's probably a reason
why keith is above us.
Must be signs of crab.
Narrator:
catching junior's eye --
the wizard.
They haven't strayed from a spot
in the northeast,
Indicating he's found life.
But the last time I talked
with keith was years ago.
Narrator:
seven years back...
-Yeah!
-Yeah!
Yeah!
What's junior up to now?
Looks like
he's setting gear
Back where he just told me
there was no crab.
A little white lie
never hurt nothing.
Narrator: ...a partnership
gone wrong
Between keith and junior
soured the relationship.
Keith:
lesson learned.
Junior is not a partner.
Scott: that's the last guy
I want to see,
But we got to get this red crab
on the boat quick.
I might have to call in
a lifeline.
"Keith, please, sir,
please help me."
[ Laughter ]
Narrator: as junior plots
to get back in the game,
207 Miles northeast...
[ Cheering ]
...captain keith
is at the top of his.
I'm happy to say typhoon hagibis
is officially behind us.
Narrator:
storm-free at last,
The skipper claims dynamite
fishing from his 2-day soak.
Keith: set it back.
[ Man cheers ]
[ Phone rings ]
Hello. Wizard.
Scott:
how's it going, keith?
Hello. Wizard.
Hey, keith.
It's junior.
You got me?
Junior, how you doing?
Just trying to get back
in the game, here.
I couldn't even hardly remember
how to set a pot
When I first got out.
But I see you're up
to the north, there.
So, if you want,
I'll work with you.
We can try and get something
hammered out, here.
You still there, keith?
I don't know.
You know,
I'm not sure that...
At this point,
I don't need a partner,
But so, anyways, junior,
I got to get off of here.
Alright?
Thanks for the call, junior.
I got to go.
I got [bleep] to do.
[Bleep]
Keith: I mean, talk about
being desperate.
No thanks.
As soon as I tell him
I got a 40-count,
I'm gonna see
all his [bleep] gear
Right on top
of it.
I don't need a partner
like that right now.
I've tried it before.
It didn't work.
Scott:
[bleep] hang up on me.
[Bleep] hung up.
Pisses me off.
Keith: it's a sign that
you're on good fishing.
Narrator:
junior takes keith being
tight-lipped as an indicator
That he's on the crab...
So, I'm putting
the blinders on,
And setting my pots
where the crab are.
That's all there is
to it.

Scott:
I'm following the crab.
Narrator:
165 miles southeast,
In king cove, alaska...
Man: hey, come down
this side,
And I'll hand you
this side of the chain.
Jake: fishing through the storm
was great, financially.
We made top dollar.
But no rest for the wicked.
-That's the way it works.
-Is that the way it works?
-That's the way life goes.
Narrator:
after braving typhoon hagibis
to deliver a staggering
$12-Per-pound dock price,
Captains jake anderson
and johnathan hillstrand
Ready to speed back
to the grounds.
Jake: I know that the russians
are bring a lot of crab
To dock, as well.
The only way I can compete
is by having more gear.
I tell you what, though,
I feel pretty good
about my stack, guys.
Johnathan:
I do, too.
I like those pots.
Those are beautiful.
I've never seen
more beautiful gear.
Narrator: with russia pulling
ahead of the american fleet,
The saga brings on a bonus load
of old-time bandit pots
To go toe-to-toe
with the eastern armada.
These pots are gonna help you
catch $1.5 million.
And then, you owe us a favor,
someday, if we ever ask.
Can we do a half a favor?
Man: alright.
Let's go fishing, jake.
Jake: let's do it.
-Let her go, man.
-Here we go.
[ Whistle blows ]
Jake:
I'm so excited.
Shut up, you guys.
Are you doing this
on purpose?
Narrator: the only thing between
jake and his town soak...
Jake: as I'm staring at a sunken
ship that caught on fire
'Cause it hit the rocks.
Narrator: ...a notoriously
dangerous shortcut
Between islands
on the aleutian chain.
You got to respect
false pass.
It's not a [bleep]
little thing to do.
Jake: I don't want to do it,
but the truth is,
If I go through the pass,
I save 2 to 3 days.
They call this false pass --
f-a-l-s-e --
'Cause it's not real.
It looks like
there's a lot of room,
But there is no water
beneath you.
Narrator: to get to the fishing
grounds as fast as possible,
Jake must navigate
a twisting 4-mile-long channel
Marked by buoys.
But with the tide low,
And the current constantly
shifting the sandy bottom,
One miscalculation
or dash of bad luck
Could run the saga
aground,
Endangering his vessel
and the lives of his crew.
We're officially entering
false pass.
Here we go.
There's no turning back.
Oh, god, man.
I didn't pick a good time
to quit smoking, did i?
You see the next two
on the radar?
Head right at them
right now.
I can see some blips.
Okay. Stand by.
We'll find it.
Man: straight ahead.
Straight ahead.
I'm making this corner.
I don't want to go fast.
Red cans on the port, here.
Head port.
You want to hug this one,
Make sure we don't drift
down over the sandbar.
12 Feet, 11.4.
Johnathan:
just go slow, like this.
I have confidence --
high confidence in him.
10 Feet.
8 Feet.
[Bleep].
[Bleep].
I got 3 feet, johnny.
3 Feet.
[Bleep]
it's shaking.
Come on, baby.
-Whoa.
-Oh, [bleep]
Narrator:
just outside king cove...
Jake: I got 3 feet, johnny.
3 Feet.
[Bleep] it's shaking.
Come on, baby.
Narrator: ...in a sprint to beat
the russians,
The saga runs aground
in false pass.
Neil, will you check the engine
room, and look for the ribs,
And make sure nothing's
flexing, or anything?
Jake: all crew members
to the bridge.
We are hitting
the bottom.
We are hitting
the bottom.
Johnathan: we had it made.
We had 6 feet under us,
But then, we got this
4-or-5-foot swell.
-Oh, my god.
-[Bleep]
[Bleep]
Woman: oh, my god.
I don't like this, johnny.
I've got about 100 yards
to go,
And I need at least
a foot below the keel.
[Bleep] I want to get
the [bleep] out of here.
We got another foot
of tide coming.
That'll get us through.
You need to crank it.
If you don't, it's gonna
throw you down fast.
Narrator: on the horizon,
a swell that could lift
The 107-foot schooner
off the sandbar --
Assuming jake could kick it
into high gear.
Alright, johnny.
I'm going.
Crank it, dude,
quick as you can.
We got a little
extra water.
Oh, thank god.
Come on, baby.
9 Feet.
I think we got it.
Oh, my god.
Thank god.
I'm out of here, dude.
[ Indistinct talking ]
[Bleep]
Poor baby.
Sorry to put you through
that one.
Anderson!
Anderson!
Oh, my god.
Johnathan:
it's never a dull moment
with you out there, captain.
That was...
That was
[bleep] crazy.
Jake:
can we go fishing now?
Narrator:
120 miles northwest...
I never thought I'd be late
for this one.
I thought I had
the best crew,
That we were
gonna be on time.
Narrator:
...on the summer bay...
I'm laughing,
but I want to cry.
Narrator:
...delayed by the firing and
replacement of two deckhands,
And sitting out
typhoon hagibis,
Captain wild bill wichrowski
is the last man out to sea.
Bill: these are gonna covering
between 53 and 43 fathoms
Further west and further north
than I've been in a long time.
I want to get this crab
harvested as quick as I can,
Get the best price, 'cause we're
competing with the russians.
Narrator:
for his debut set,
Bill banks on depths
in the northwest
To make up his deficit,
And hopefully, get him to dock
before the price goes kaput.
Man: you got the most important
job on the boat, vasili.
Without the bait,
we can't catch any crab.
Huh?
It says, "not for
human consumption."
Bill: so, the two guys I got,
one is hamlin.
He's got a lot
of experience.
The other guy,
I have no idea.
This vasili guy --
the russian guy -- I don't know.
I'm giving him
the benefit of the doubt.
Are we ready?
Oh, I'm always ready.
-Time to go.
-Okay.
Be careful.
Bombs away.
Good luck, there.
[ Indistinct talking ]
First pot going over, guys!
Man:
let's get it started!
Bill:
unhook it, vasili.
Unhook the crane.
Hurry up.
Oh, okay.
Now, let it go.
Man: hurry up, and tie the door,
vasili.
You guys are
bombs away, right?
-Yeah.
-Hey, hold on. Hold on.
I see no pots.
This is ridiculous, whatever
the [bleep] is going on here.
We got a problem?
Take a step back, vasili.
Usually, I take my time,
and just pace myself.
Bill: russians are known to have
ice in their veins,
And they work hard.
I hope this vasili guy
holds up to his heritage.
It's gonna
be interesting.
[ Cheering ]
Time will tell.
Narrator:
105 miles northeast...
Man: come on.
Let's see something big.
Man #2: what do we got?
What do we got?
-Oh, yeah!
-Oh, yeah!
Man:
oh, yeah, baby.
Narrator:
...on the wizard...
Keith: we got our gear
on the hunting hole,
And we're onto
a good soak,
Giving me an opportunity
to get in a rhythm,
And keep
the pots coming.
8. 10.
-Oh, yeah!
-Yeah, baby!
Go ahead and dump it.
Narrator:
...captain keith gorges
his tanks on king crab
Hauled fresh from his own
private hot spot.
You know, when the market is
super hot, like it is right now,
There's a chance that,
if you're not in early enough,
You're not gonna get
the top price.
You get what you can
while you can,
Because this party
ain't gonna last long.
I'll tell you that
right now.
Narrator:
just on the horizon...
Man: the seabrooke
is in town, baby!
Narrator:
...aboard the seabrooke...
Yeah, I know. I know.
I see that wizard pot.
I don't care.
If junior don't care,
then I don't care.
Okay.
Let her go.
Let's go, boy!
Shut him down!
[Bleep]!
Scott: here we go.
This is happening.
Narrator:
out of the game for 4 years,
Junior decides
to announce his return...
I'm gonna be
on it.
Narrator: ...by casting his
own spell on wizard grounds.
Keith: what is that
over there?
Is that [bleep] junior?
What's up,
there, junior?
Yeah, I got you.
Do you want a whole ocean,
or what, man?
Listen, you can't be
doing that.
Okay, dude?
I'm setting here, buddy.
Keep setting.
I got to get in
on this crab.
I'll be in and out
before you even know I'm there.
Man: junior you're
coming in hot!
Whatever, man.
Take it somewhere else.
Whatever.
I got to go.
I got to pay attention, here.
Man #2: here we go!
Let me show you
how we do this, buddy.
Set that pot
right there.
[ Shouting ]
It's the wild,
wild west.
Keith: I was [bleep]
here first, [bleep].
Just showed up here in
the last 15 [bleep] minutes.
He wants to fight
over crab.
I'll tell you what,
so be it.
Narrator: 180 miles
northeast of dutch harbor,
Aboard the saga bandit...
False pass
lived up to its name.
Now, I have 96 pots that have
been sitting in the water
For 2 days.
And I also grabbed
another 68 pots.
He's got aces up
his sleeves, now.
Thank you, johnathan.
Narrator: ...captains jake and
john return to the northeast,
Extra time bandit pots
in tow,
Ready to see what what
their town soak holds.
Look at the whole fleet end up
right there in our gear.
-Where?
-There's one, two, three, four.
And they weren't here
when we set through 2 days ago.
I think there's a reason
these boats
Are right in here
right now.
A feeding frenzy
over their hot spot
Indicates there's still
fast fishing beneath them.
So, what do you think?
The smartest play I have
is get these pots soaking.
The other option I have
is spot-checking.
Why am I gonna do that
when I believe
There's a massive amount of crab
right beneath me?
Narrator: rather than waste time
checking to see
If the crab
are still there...
I was waiting to see what
you were gonna do,
And I would say
I would do the same thing.
...jake and john double down,
and set their extra pots blind,
Hoping to get a piece
of the action
Before the action
is gone.
I think you're [bleep] crazy,
but I love it.
[ Laughter ]
You're a crazy b*stard.
Jake: "are you crazy?"
"Of course I'm crazy!"
Yeah, you are.
I think it's a good idea.
I think you're
a genius, myself.
Really?i think you're pretty smart.
Ready to fill these tanks.
First pot going over.
Right on, bud.
I think we're pretty [bleep]
damn good fishermen.
I think we're pretty
[bleep] damn good, john.
I think, between me and you,
we're pretty damn good.
I love that, man.
Narrator:
60 miles west...
-First pots of the season.
-Ah!
Let's put some crab
in this tank.
...on the summer bay.
Bill:
the russians, from what I hear,
the numbers are bountiful,
So I want to catch this crab
as fast as I can.
Narrator: stuck at dock
replacing nearly half his crew,
Captain wild bill
needs 10,000 pounds
In the first haul
of the season
To finally get in the game
for record prices.
Bill:
here's the first one.
I see four guys.
I don't see five.
And it's my russian.
Narrator:
the new greenhorn that bill
searched long and hard for
Is hard at work...
Finishing breakfast.
Bill: son of a g*n.
I don't have time to wait
for vasili.
We're gonna go anyway.
Man: first string
of our crab season!
[ Cheering ]
Get excited!
Come on.
Have some life.
Man:
come on, crabby!
[ All groan ]
Nothing.
Man: oh, man.
A big goose egg, baby.
Sergei:
did you miss me yet?
What the [bleep],
ruski?
I see sergei.
Hopefully, he's kind of snapped
out of it, and coming to.
Who knows?
Okay, so, it's really important
that we're all out on deck
Before we start
hauling any pots.
And you first thing you all do,
guys, you all smoke,
So, when I come out,
I give you 5 minutes to smoke,
And then,
we start working.
Well, we were already
hauling that pot.
So, just try to be out here
before that guy throws the hook.
I don't see what the issue
is, but...
Bill:
I'm gonna get at my wit's end
With the [bleep]
before too long.
Right now, I'm more worried
about the fishing.
[Bleep]
[Bleep]
My deeper pots haven't hit
this morning, so...
Ugh!
I might as well bump this up
to shallower.
It can't be any worse
than where it is right now.
Narrator:
his pots, far from full --
A slow start means
more lost time
And fewer opportunities to cash
in on the top-dollar prices.
We're gonna stack these,
spread them out again.
This guy has just got to keep
his mouth shut,
And do his job,
so I can do my job.
Narrator:
105 miles away...
Here is our crab pot,
coming up.
...on the seabrooke...
Man: yeehaw!
Scott:
there's one little, tiny spot
keith and I are fighting over.
Narrator: after setting
in wizard territory,
Junior is ready
to claim the riches
He suspects
keith is hiding.
Let's start catching
some crab, man.
Let's quit
messing around.
Baby, let's see some crab!
[ Shouting, cheering ]
Yeah!
Wow. Just massive crab.
Look at this guy.
Look at that.
Look at that.
That's awesome.
That's awesome.
[ Laughs ]
Scott:
this is what we need.
This'll get us
over the hump.
I knew something was up.
Narrator: barreling into
mr. Colburn's neighborhood
Gets junior his first taste
of crab in 4 years.
Oh, baby.
Sending it back!
I got to get the rest of
my gear in here
Before keith gets
his gear in.
Keith:
you got to be [bleep] with me.
[Bleep]
Man: right on!
Keith: here's junior's
track line, right through here.
And there's my string.
And you can see
how we're converging,
And these pots
are getting closer.
I want to get this gear on
the bottom before they do.
That way, it starts
fishing first.
Narrator:
unwilling to let junior
move into his territory...
Keith: I'm gonna be setting
pretty fast, guys, alright?
We're racing junior
for this spot, right now.
Roger!
Narrator: ...keith presses
the wizard full-boar...
Keith: I'll tell you what,
right now,
I cannot slow down.
Narrator:
...racing the seabrooke
for a veritable land grab
For king crab.
Scott:
[bleep], no way.
No [bleep] way!
Look at that.
He's setting his [bleep] pots
right in front of us.
And he thinks he's gonna
squeeze in there.
I'm not gonna let him.
I'm gonna cut him off.
He ain't gonna be happy,
but I don't give a [bleep].
Watch this.
I'll get him stopped.
Watch this.
Junior, what the hell
are you doing?
Hey, I got to get a set
in here, chief.
You want a
head-on collision?
[ Speaks indistinctly ]
I don't got time
to wait for you.
You've got to
be kidding me.
I'm in full reverse
right now.
What the [bleep]?
Narrator:
northeast of dutch harbor...
Watch this.
I'll get him stopped.
Watch this.
Narrator: ...a turf w*r between
the wizard and seabrooke...
Junior, what the hell
are you doing?
Scott: hey, I got to get a set
in here, keith.
Narrator: ...escalates into
a dangerous game of chicken.
You got to be
kidding me, man.
You've got to
be kidding me.
I'm in full reverse
right now.
What the [bleep]?
Pulling full astern
on the throttle,
Keith narrowly avoids
a collision.
You're supposed to come
around my stern.
You're not supposed
to cut me off!
I got to get
this set in.
[ Indistinct talking ]
Narrator: junior steals
the right-of-way...
Man: what the [bleep]
is with that?
...along with keith's crab.
What a knucklehead, man.
Alright.
Whatever, man.
I'm done with you.
Obviously, you forgot a lot
when you were gone.
Yeah, you know what?
I am a little bit rusty.
But, well, it'll come back
to me, here, in a little bit.
You have a good day, there.
I'm out.
Sitting there --
[ mumbles mockingly ]
I was able to cut him off, and
he's just being a sore loser.
That's all there is to it.
Keith: I'm shocked at
that maneuver he just pulled.
I'll tell you what --
Junior tried
to sabotage me.
Two can play that game,
And I can guarantee you
I'm gonna win that battle.
Narrator: as keith
plots his revenge...
...110 miles south...
Johnathan: is that our pot
out this window?
Jake: I think so.
Narrator:
...on the saga bandit.
Jake: I'm so excited
about this string.
I've been waiting all day
to haul it.
Get them while they're hot.
Narrator:
with half the fleet moving
onto their chosen grounds,
Captains jake and johnathan
check their gear
For the first time
in 3 days...
Could be $120,000
in just a couple hours,
If this string does what
I think it's gonna do.
...and hopes setting
their extra load
Amid the crowd
means extra profits.
Let's see what I got.
♪♪
♪♪
I'd like to see a 40 average
out of this.
Johnathan: woo-hoo!
[Bleep] yeah, anderson!
This is gonna be
a good string, buddy.
I'm really excited.
♪♪
♪♪
We got legs, anderson?
Looks like females.
Looks like smalls.
Narrator: female and juvenile
crab are ill*gal to keep,
Meaning, after their little
field trip to the saga,
Mama crab and baby crab
get to go home.
Man: 15 -- one-five!
One-five.
That doesn't make
any [bleep] sense.
This should be really,
really good.
It's gonna get good.
See what
the next one has.
In the words of
john paul jones,
"We have not yet
begun to fight!"
-Small crab.
-[Bleep]
I don't know, johnny.
Damn, man.
What do you think happened,
john?
So much gear came in,
it sucked the crab right up.
[Bleep]
I don't know
what to do.
I just invested
all this time in here.
It's just a big,
fat waste.
Narrator:
their once hot spot picked over,
They've struck out with not one
but two full loads of gear.
Keep pulling gear
as quick as you can.
That's all we can do.
We've got some
heavy sorting to do.
Making everybody's job
a little bit harder.
12.
Sure took them a long time
to [bleep] count 12.
[ Laughs ]
It's not funny, john.
I'm gonna go outside, here,
and speed things up.
Okay.
Narrator: to help load
their pots a.s.a.p..
I'm gonna come out
in a second, too,
So I'll help out.
-Roger!
-This is perfect.
I think I can
handle this.
Narrator:
...jake hands of the helm
to johnathan, and hits the deck.
Jake: come on, guys.
Let's kick it into gear!
We got to get
these pots on!
Swing, batter,
batter, batter!
Swing!
It's pretty sloppy out.
We got to pull
200 pots today.
We got a long day
ahead of us.
Hopefully, we'll get back up
to 20 pots an hour, here.
Jake: hopefully, the next string
will pick up,
Get the numbers
we need.
Oh, we're doing good.
Doing good.
See what happens.
Two hands. Two hands.
Man, hold on
to that thing.
[Bleep]
Watch out.
-Whoa, whoa, whoa!
-[Bleep] damn it!
Watch out!
Watch out!
Narrator: this week on
"salty takes"...
I don't know what he's doing.
He's looking up at the sky.
Crazy people always
look at birds.
Narrator: the saga maintains
the top position,
While junior gets his first
glimpse of king crab in 4 years.
Welcome back, junior.
Narrator: 185 miles
northeast of dutch harbor...
Man: man,
hold on to that thing.
Watch out!
-Whoa, whoa, whoa!
-[Bleep] damn it!
Watch out!
Watch out!
[ Indistinct shouting ]
Narrator: ...a loose pot
wreaks havoc
On the deck
of the saga.
[Bleep]
[Bleep]
-We're good.
-We're good.
Well, man, that was
a good job, guys.
Run for [bleep] cover.
Narrator:
shifting seas make deckhand
phillip hillstrand lose his grip
On the pot,
Turning 1,000 pounds of steel
into a wrecking ball...
[ Indistinct shouting ]
...that nearly decapitates
fellow railman --
And apparent ninja --
clayton gore.
Clayton: I just don't want
to get hurt.
It's not a game out here.
Is that pot
all the way in?
This is craziness
out here.
It's not romantic.
It's miserable.
Let's get that [bleep]
rolled out again.
But we're here to help each
other out, and we're a family.
It's all we can do.
I'm not afraid.
I'm not afraid
of no ghosts.
Narrator: 50 miles northwest,
on the summer bay...
This is gonna suck.
It does suck already.
After hauling no crab,
We've moved back
to the east.
A little shallower,
spread them out again,
See what's going on.
Narrator:
...well behind the fleet,
captain wild bill
Pins his season
on fresh ground.
The longer it takes, that's just
negative cash flow, there.
Yeah, it's time to go.
So...
What do you mean,
we don't have bait?
Vasili hasn't done
his job.
Oh, my god.
Narrator: an essential part
of the fishing process,
Each pot must be baited
before being set.
Man: now, it's gonna
take us longer.
Bill's gonna be pissed.
Everyone is pretty upset
about it.
Bill: you know,
it's one thing to be new.
It's another thing to be lazy,
and not want to work.
And this guy
is wasting our time.
Man: why didn't you have any
of this bait done, vasili?
You do exactly
what I tell you do!
Vasili: I did!
I finished one...
Everything for bait set,
until we ran out of cod.
Then, why are we
doing bait right now?
Because we didn't
have cod.
Well, you go and get more
out of the freezer!
You want me to be responsible
for everything in the bait,
From getting it
from the freezer,
To getting it up
and getting the cod?
That's fine.
Yeah, that's your job,
is bait, vasili.
Vasili, I've been doing this
before you came here
From [bleep] russia.
Alright?
Don't tell me how to do
my [bleep] job!
Oh, be quiet.
You know what?
You're the greenhorn on here.
You need to start
keeping your mouth shut,
And doing
as you're told.
I've about had it.
What did I tell you?
I just said, "shut up."
He just said, "how many crab
do we have onboard?"
You [bleep] [bleep].
You know what? Get off deck.
[Bleep] you.
Oh, no. Oh, no.
Hey, I said "get off deck."
I'm not kidding. Beat it.
Go!
Nobody wants to hear you
[bleep] argue anymore.
Hey, you clown,
I'm talking now!
There we go.
Honestly, I know
some russian guys
That are in
the seafood business.
They are a no-nonsense,
tough bunch of guys.
The thing is, this guy
is an argumentative
[Bleep] egotistical fool.
We're just trying
to get through this.
Narrator:
62 miles northeast...
Okay, guys.
Get them in the rack.
...because I'm not gonna
let him set me down.
[ Cheering, shouting ]
Narrator: refusing to take guff
from anyone...
...keith fights back.
Two can play the game
junior played last night.
Hey, what's going on,
here, bud?
Doing the same thing you're
doing -- just setting here.
Yeah, I see that, captain.
You're not going to set a pot
right in front of me,
Are you, here?
Well, I set my gear
the way I set my gear.
I'm not leaving any gaps
to give you crab.
I'm taking this spot.
Dude, keith.
Don't [bleep] do it!
Dump it.
Man: right on!
Wow. So this is how
we're gonna do it, huh?
You start a battle,
plan on finishing it, buddy.
[Bleep] yeah!
[ Laughs ]
[ Cheering ]
Yeah, god.
Some things never change.
Some things
never change.
Guess what?
The crab are here.
We got to get them.
[ Cheering, shouting ]
It's not gonna be easy
To restake my claim
in this business,
But I'm gonna do it.
I'm not deviating.
