First night of the Catch!

And I am hooked anew! The first episode wasn't as action-packed as I had hoped but it was still full of drama - thanks captain Keith who started thinking he had cancer, then had something on the underside of his boat cutting his crab pot strings, so he dons a diving suit and goes under his boat to investigate to only promptly hit his head so hard it made him bleed. This was all from one captain, my personal Drama Queen of the Wizard.
The Time Bandit, which we decided tonight to name our little John Boat had a great beginning of their season from the first couple of crab pots which were filled with almost 100 Alaskan King Crab keepers.
The bad news of the season so far is that Captain Phil of the Cornelia Marie hasn't fully recovered from his blood clot and he was told to not go fishing this season so he left his 2nd Mate in charge, Manny who wasn't very prepared for being captain.
The only boat on the show we didn't see much of was Captain Sig and the Northwestern. We did see them perform their yearly ritual of biting the head of a Herring Fish - ewwwwww
The captain pulled the short straw and was stuck biting the fish head off. Good luck, guys.
