This has not been an easy year.

My brother needs a break
from that deck.

I mean, everybody's a little bit
beat up and worn down now.

We do it for our families.

Good job, mandy.
Thank you.

Feel pretty good
this morning.

The weather's got me
a little nervous,

but a very good pick yesterday.

You know, through the year,
we have closer to 70,000 pounds.

Yeah, that was nice to see.

Narrator:
Two days ago, a strategic
and successful partnership

with
steve "harley" davidson

landed both captains
on the biomass.

And sig -- he doubled down.

We've got 207,000 pounds
left on our quota.

The boat typically packs 205, 6,
to 208, so we got to pack her.

We got to jam it,
and that's fine.

A full trip ought to cover us.

Narrator: Now the veteran duo's
69-fathom hot spot will

either sustain the northwestern
for a second pick...

Or not.

There's crab in there
