Sig Hansen SCORES A Massive Crab Haul Using Rick's Intel! | Deadliest Catch
Hey, Rick. How goes it?
Hey, man. How you guys doing?
How was it over there at your grandpa’s place?
I found some of my grandpa’s old clothes, a bunch of old magazines, some pictures. I found a couple charts, too.
Is there any info on those things? Anything we see out here, I will share with you. Okay, that’s no problem.
Hey, do you want to take a picture of the charts and send it to Sig?
Okay. I got it. Hang on a second, Rick. Stand by.
And these gullies kind of go up to the north, but they cross a lot of different depths here. Fifty, sixty fathoms. Here’s a gully.
He’s going to screw us on this one. I got a feeling.
I mean, kind of if you take my 65-fathom range, you know, it does narrow it down a little bit.
I think if you kind of just combine the two, you’re probably going to see crab all along in there. All along that ridge, all along in that gully, I bet.
Well, at least put the elevator music on so I feel like I’m being thought about at least.
Sorry, I had you on mute. We’ve been seeing our best signs of life in that 65-fathom range.
All right. I was comparing your grandfather’s sheets. There are some gullies that kind of go up and down there. Put the two together and I think that would be a winner. I really do.
Yeah. Sounds good. Sixty-five fathoms.
Why don’t I just meet you at the south side of that little gully, you know, and then we can work our way up right through that channel?
Be a little tight in there, but if there’s crab, there’s crab, right?
All right, man. Bye.
There he is.
Right on. We’re going to do this thing.
All right. Are you about ready?
I’m in position. You got to move left or right. Just let me know. Just have to take a chance and work it together.
Roger that. I got Bob watching you drop the pot.
I don’t want to get too close because right now we’re going to tangle up if we set at the same time.
Yeah, totally.
Hey, how’s it going?
So, what do you think? You think this spot’s a winner or a loser?
Well, if it was a winner, then it was my idea. And if it’s a loser, then it was Rick’s idea. [laughter]
All right, I’m going to let the first one go.
Going over.
This is about a tenth. That’s going over.
Roger that. Roger that. You’re going over.
Pretty steady about 65 and I’m liking what I’m seeing.
I feel like I’m cheating, man. Like we’re using somebody else’s old information. [laughter]
Okay. So, what do you think? I mean, we got room for another ten more each or what?
It’s going to be close. We’re going to be coming out of it here in a couple, but I want to get as many in here as we can.
We’re just going to let them rip. So kind of fire at will right now.
Roger. Let’s fly.
Well, I think we got a pretty good shot at hitting something here. I really do. I don’t think you can get any more gear in there properly the way we did. And I think every pot’s going to at least have the opportunity to catch.
It’s not all the time you have fun, you know. So stress, no stress. Crab, no crab. I had fun.
That’s… so far so good, man. Knock on wood. We got the first one coming up. Took a big risk, but I don’t have any regrets. Not at this point.
All right, coming up on the first pot. Here we go. A lot of suspense here.
We took the west side. Sig took the east side. I can’t wait to get the first one up.
You can’t deny that. Oh, hell yeah. There’s 50–60.
Nuh-uh.
Yeah, it’s looking good.
Yeah.
Hell yeah.
Yeah, baby.
You got me, Rick.
ASAC.
Well, I’m telling you, we are in them.
Oh, yeah. Yeah. That string is just on fire right now. It’s doing great.
Oh yeah, baby. There we go. There you go.
We’re in them big, man. Thank you for not screwing me.
I’m impressed, man. Way to go. Everything you’re doing.
We thread the needle. I don’t think you can get any more gear in there.
This is going to be very fun.
Holy crap.
All right, you guys. Thank you, man.
It worked out great. I don’t think this was just luck or coincidence. I think that this place is rebounding. It’s coming back, and it’s like we stepped back in time, you know?
