i broke into this guys house and im using the internet for a few hours, probably take a shower and eat all of his scoobie snacks but ill make sure i leave everything i touch in proper condition
Seen a good number of green horns get their behind kicked from the terrible long hours, to where days all seem to roll into one...Good luck...only the tough and determined survive...
They film the show in Hollywood, those guys are all actors and it is filmed on a fake boat, it is done by the same guys who did the moon landing(aliens kept them alive)
No, they do it in the Gulf, too. It's pretty much staged, though. My son has walked off at least 3 boats because he didn't want anything to do with it. Said one of the boats that was being filmed lost a deck hand over the side and they just let him go, figured the camera boat would pick him up. I sure wouldn't want to count on someone like that. It was a lot more interesting when the show first started, but so many viewers got upset over the boats that went down and the fishermen who died or got hurt, they just sort of glamorized it all. I quit watching it, too many people I knew were lost at sea, too many boats I knew went down, and every time DH watched it he'd have nightmares about his last trip when the boat went down with the skipper, and he broke his back. The shows never tell about those things, the people who get seriously hurt and die.

As for LT, all I can do is repeat myself:
O.My.Gawd.
I worked on a seine boat out of Kodiak, the weather was nice, the fishing was relatively good and, overall conditions were as good as can be. There were times that I feared for my life, I can't even imagine what it must be like out there, it's something I know I don't have the cojones to try.
Probably just a cover for him to get into the drug trade in Alaska.
That would be just as funny to watch as seeing him try to build a tree house in alderbrush. Though come to think of it, he just might be safer with the bears after all.
Pictures taken at Dutch Harbor this weekend....they begin the season on Wednesday
I can't see the camera crews!
