If you’re a fan of The Deadliest Catch, and would like to meet some of the cast members … now’s your chance!

Straight from the icy waters of the Bering Sea, Captain Phil Harris and his sons from the Cornelia Marie, along with Captain Johnathan Hillstrand from the Time Bandit, will make two appearances at the Gold Coast Hotel and Casino Showroom Saturday, August 29 at 1 p.m. and at 4 p.m.

I recall one time he said he was going out for cod in between crabbing seasons. (I think it was cod. Maybe halibut.) Other guys don't bother because a hold full of cod isn't worth near as much as crab. Sig's POV was "It's work and it pays bills. I don't see any reason to sit around when I have this boat to use and a family to provide for."

You can't call any of those guys slackers, by any stretch, but that's a work ethic that just doesn't quit. Yet he doesn't do that at the expense of safety. I think he cares about his crew as much as anyone he just doesn't wear his heart on his sleeve.

No nonsense is the safest way to be in a dangerous occupation.

No doubt about it. Sig Hansen for President.

But his old man sure built some weird - and some would say unsafe - Bay boats...

Heck, the French navy sunk a Greenpeace ship. Given the history of the Japanese, they could end that ship at any time.

It’s just my impression from watching the show but I would feel safest on Sig’s boat. By just a small margin to be fair to the other captains.

[PIF]

Not only would you be the safest, but at the end of the season you’d have more money than a crew member on one of the other boats. And if you were to stick around maybe you could work the Bay during the summer.

Phil reminds me a lot of some other guys I knew in the fishing racket. Kinda funny - smelling crap poop and all - but slack on shipyard so things break which should have been fixed.

I’m surprised the Japanese Navy hasn’t done anything to the hippies. The captain of the ship is a douchebag too. Read his biography and it seems like he’s only doing the whole enviro-wacko thing to score hot chicks. His 2nd wife was a playmate.
