What is it with this guy? I have watched a couple of the whale war episodes and can't beleive this guy skippers a large vessel. He always looks like he just got done sucking down a quart of wiskey when he comes onto the bridge.

I watched that show a couple of times, and I always ended up by the end of the show screaming to the whalers “SINK HIM! RAM HIM!”

I just keep hoping the JDF sends down a cruiser and puts a 5” round through the bridge porthole and ends this idiots reign of piracy.

I can’t believe Discovery has given a prime time show dedicated to terrorism/piracy.

My 2 cents. Is the guy is a self absorbed gas bag that enjoys attention - especially from all the young ladies who crew the ship. As a Captain he sucks. One of his lines is "Give me passion over competence." They damn near killed some crew launching a small boat with techniques that had ever real sailor in the world laughing their a$$es off.

FWIW I am struck by the two worlds. Whale Wars and Deadliest Catch are filmed at about the same time. You watch Whale Wars where they can hardly get out of their own way and then flip to DC and the crew of the Time Bandit are fishing in 45 foot seas with a temp of 5 degrees, a 50 knot wind and loving it. The contrast of the two worlds is stunning. Free market at it's rawest and most basic and feel good at it's best.

He’s a scumbag jackass, that’s his deal.

Cut him some slack. He probably learned his seamanship on the Exxon Valdez. Maybe he's Joe Hazelwoods long lost brother :~)
