EVERY Best Moment From Season 12 Of Deadliest Catch: From Arguments To Insane Crab Hauls!

Music] on the Brenna, a first spot’s coming up. The guys have been just driving me nuts, been trying to pull this trip together at the last minute, you know, just work through it. After losing two pots because of shoddy rigging, when you’re only making a fixed amount of money a day, you can’t afford to lose a big chunk of money. Rookie Captain Sean Dwyer pushes his crew to make up for the loss.

Betsy [Music] – that’s a lot of crap in there. Nine, seven, ninety-seven, 97 on that one, huh? Numbers, numbers. That’s awesome. The Western end is where the crab are; the numbers don’t lie. [Music] A lot of runs. A lot of runs, he got 100 crowns. Can’t run from crab, Brit says. “Oh Smalls and females.” “Well, I don’t really give him if you have to dig through 500 right, so you’re getting 100 Keepers. You’re getting our keepers. It’s not deficient, pretty ridiculous, but that’s how I want to do it. That’s the attitude to have on Deck.”

“You’re gonna be sitting there doubting my decisions, you know what, you don’t know what’s going on up here, you don’t know about catching crap. If you did, you wouldn’t be on deck. I mean, I experienced this plenty of times. I’ve been on boats where guys get this attitude and they want to tell the captain what to do, and the captain brings me to the Wheelhouse, puts them in their place, and they either leave or they get back to work. Biggest mistake I could make right now is to drive away from this pile of crap. Can you give them a 10 pound bag of hundred-dollar bills? He’d probably complain about the weight.”

[Music] Turn it, that hook and almost hit Tony in the head. You gotta call back out, Brad. “I don’t need your lecture from you, okay? Everyone’s at home screaming. I heard the one guy that yelled out of all the people down there. The green horn pair is calling out Hook when the guy at the Rail drops the hook. It’s the guy on the rails’ responsibility to call it out and to keep a handle on it. If that hook catches someone in the head, it’ll knock him out or split their head open or knock teeth out. That’s a big deal. That’s just sloppy on Brit’s part. If you got an attitude and you’re a mediocre fisherman, well, I can see where all of the conflict is originating from, and it starts with Brit. There’s crab in that pot. That’s really good. First year Captain Sean Dwyer is working overtime on big numbers. This is on 24 hours. So one one eight, it’s a 118 in that one. Killer Crown man, 118 in 24 hours is awesome. I’m going for two crab an hour and that was almost five.”

“Little like those sardines, yeah? What do you think about it? It’s like animals are creatures, they have to like what’s around them, and they find here, it’s local, it’s all, it’s American. You could be 100% right with that because we’re using these imported sardines from Morocco. Captains use different types of baits to attract crab. This school seems partial to herring. Yeah, that’s awesome dude, good eye, good call. Never underestimate a green horn. That’s the moral of that little story right there. So, switched all of these bait bags over to Herring. If Herring is the ticket, then that’s what we’ll go with. We’re going to experiment with it. Looks like Herring’s fishing a lot better than starting, so to change our base game from here on up, they don’t like what they’re eating, they’re not going to get in the pot, simple. Now that we know the whole herring thing, um, I should change changes quite a bit, expensive mistakes now.”

“So, what are we doing here? I’m just plotting on how I’m Gonna Knock Out Brit, make it look like an accident. It sounds like an expensive mistake to make, we should have been using Herring the whole time, really. Really, for Brit to come at me like that, like it’s my fault, like I knew better, that that little means to say that’s my face. If he wants to make a difference, he’s bad on Deck, he likes drama, and he tries to spread cancer on Deck to try to get everybody against me down there. Do that dude, one more snide comment, and he’s going down.”
