IF you have followed the show since the beginning it is clear drug and substance abuse is a common problem in the crab fleet.
There have been numerous “losses” both death and career over the years.
There was the young guy who wanted to Captain THE MAVERICK - DEATH by OD
Jake Harris - Cornelia Marie - Fighting addiction for YEARS
Elliot Neese - Heroin
Edgar Hansen - Crystal Meth
There have been others. An episode dedicated to the subject is warranted at this point.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. You saying those guys are dead???
