Keith Colburn FUMES At Deckhand After He Moans About Back Injury! | Deadliest Catch

15 mil south 53 aboard the 155 ft wizard.
One more time 53.
Okay, I’m not paying attention like I should.
It’s only a matter of time before the big lazy swell is rolling in from the southwest, a prelude to this storm that’s coming.
Captain Keith Coburn braces for the onslaught of Typhoon Nori.
Going to be really nasty out here.
It’s supposed to blow 45 maybe 50, 50 plus.
Got to get work done while it’s nice, and we are not filling the jugs.
He wanted me to not run up and down the day.
Kevin needs helping us by being out there, but we can’t work through a trip with a guy at half speed.
By days after injuring his back, Deckhand Kevin Stafford continues to struggle on deck.
We have no problem stepping it up when one of our team members is down.
I’ll tell you right now, for as hard as we’re working, it ain’t worth it.
Morale is really low on deck, and Kevin not getting any better.
He’s not paying attention to anything.
He’s just thinking about how sore he is.
He’s not making an effort.
He’s not willing to try and move his hands a little bit faster.
Everything he does, he’s doing like Frankenstein.
You don’t have to move your back any faster.
You don’t have to bend over.
I’m just trying to take it easy and get through this trip, or maybe I’ll go ahead and get myself really hurt and then go home and forget about it.
Well, is that how you’re kind of feeling though?
I mean, yeah, in a way, because it sucks to be out here hurt.
But hey, listen to me, man, I just watched you for five pots in a row do nothing except stand there at the bait station, stand in the middle of the deck.
If you’re going to walk up here, stuff a damn jug or ten.
That’s what I’ve been doing.
I’ve been watching you.
Your head’s not here.
I’m standing up for you, but I’ve got a whole crew that’s about ready to mute me.
Please help me too.
Stuff like a mother.
Your hands hurt trying to do it?
I’m not seeing it, and they’re not seeing it.
All they’re doing is running circles around you.
Half the time, they have to dodge you because you’re standing in the middle of the deck.
I don’t really like that at all.
Actually, it should have happened days ago.
I guess it’s time when it’s time.
Bottom line is, working at 20 to 30% speed during the storm is a liability to the boat.
It’s a liability to the crew.
Good news is, our new deckhand’s coming.
Keith has hired a new deckhand to stabilize his crew.
He’s already on his way.
Let’s see if I can find a boat to bring my new crewman out.
Problem is, he’s a day’s steam all the way back in Dutch Harbor.
Saw him go by here about a day ago.
I’m going to give Elliot a call and see if he’s in town and if he’s heading out anytime soon.
That’ll save us a full day in town, not having to sit at the dock waiting.
Mr. Wizard, hey, you know what?
I’ve got a huge favor to ask.
One of my crewmen on here is banged up, so I’ve got a crewman flying into town, and I believe you’re probably heading back out.
If there’s a way I can get him on your boat and we can transfer him out here, that would be awesome.
Yeah, I’m in town.
I’m getting ready to offload.
I’ll be taking off late tonight or early in the morning.
My only concern is it’s going to be like 20-some-foot seas.
I will not ask you to do anything that I wouldn’t do myself.
You don’t have to come to me.
I’ll come to you.
Okay, I’ll give you a shout when we leave tonight and let you know, um, kind of ETA.
Alright, okay, bye.
So it sounds like we’re going to take somebody out to Mr. Wizard.
He’s got a greenhorn in town here, somebody on his boat got hurt or something, and, um, he wants us to bring out his new guy.
And I told Keith that the weather concerns a little bit cuz it’s supposed to be 20-some seas, and I’m not transferring anybody in that kind of weather.
See how it all works out.
Aboard the Wizard, coming up here, you see that storm’s 30, 40 mph winds out here, starting to come up the chain.
Now, lucky right now that we got a window of weather where we can get Robert Get-Her-Done on the boat.
So we better get our butts in gear.
With Super Typhoon Nori fast approaching, the sooner we get another set of hands out there to get the rotation back in place, the better.
We’re going to do a transfer with Elliot.
Captain Keith Curn has only hours to retrieve his deckhand before the weather makes it impossible.
You know what?
We got to go do this impromptu transfer.
Get the pot ready.
Get the bridge on the PO ready.
To complete the handoff, the crew builds a makeshift raft.
We got to make sure that this is absolutely set up perfectly so that even an idiot can’t mess it up.
Kind of bouncy out, huh?
Yeah, it’s a little bit bouncy for Get-Her-Done.
Is he coming out on the…what’d you say? The Saga?
Yeah, where was he at?
106 right there, but he’s at least in the general vicinity of where we’re supposed to meet.
You know, he’s doing us a favor.
Put that one on 60 away.
Elliot, Keith on the Wizard.
Anybody on there?
Never can get you to see before for Courier.
Captain Elliot N, let only set to the back half hour 20 minutes.
Breakfast is a bigger concern.
Hello?
Anybody?
There he is on this one.
Here, got 2/10 of a mile off his bow.
Should intercept him.
With no word from The Saga, Keith decides to move in for a closer look.
He’s coming around the bow here.
We’ve got like one shot to do it, and that’s it.
You know, next thing you know, the weather comes up, and we don’t get them for a week.
Next thing, he’s stranded on there.
Hello?
Hello?
Hello?
Anybody there?
Mr. Wizard right there, isn’t it?
Not Wizard Saga.
What’s going on?
How’s it going?
We’re doing okay.
