I think Edgar was missing his family pretty bad. Wasn't there something where he and his wife went through some trouble with him away working...? He was probably sick of working, sick of dealing with his brother and was having one of those moments where you ask yourself WTF you are doing. We'll see if he still feels that way when the paycheck comes.
From the few glimpses I've seen his wife is good-looking and his family is young. Being away from your marriage/family for long periods of time is never a good thing.
Well, he has had at least one kid born while he was onboard, maybe 2 if my memory is correct. I don't blame him.But, Edgar is BY FAR my favorite character on the show. I think he has a great relationship with his brother, and he just seems like a guy I could hang out with.
This season has been very odd for him. Last season they cast him as the good kid who tries hard, to a little ##### that annoys everyone. When his sister passed away, it looked like everyone on that boat genuinely felt for him.
I wonder if some of the footage with Edgar was filmed after Capt Phill died. I'm sure that has a lot of the guys re-thinking their priorities.
It was all for show, you could tell when Jake Anderson got aboard that he was never in any serious danger. They just edited it to look harrowing.
I know I'm late to this...But Johnathan had what seemed like a legitimate beef with Keith. It didn't get physical until Keith started yelling at him like he was Monty. Keith's a bully, plain and simple. I can't imagine yelling at another grown man like that without it being a prelude to a fight. But Keith seemed genuinely surprised that Johnathan shoved him. How in the world can that be? Imagine doing that to a grown man irl and not having the guy take a swing at you. And check Keith's body language post-shove: shoulders turned, chin tucked, eyes down. He knew he was wrong. And he was thanking the Lord that Phil commanded enough respect to keep Johnathan at bay. Notice that the big mouth "suckerpunch Hillstrand" stuff didn't begin in eanest until Phil was there. He wanted nothing of Johnathan. That one little shove put him in his place. On the Wizard, he gets to be the bully because of the finances of it and the way of things. But irl, when you get in a grown man's space that aggressively, there are going to be repurcussions. Besides, #######, it wasn't a sucker punch; it was a direct reaction to your action. And Johnathan did it while looking you in the eye. Captains talking to guys in the bar = rationalization after the fact. The explanation of the string of pots on the video screen last year = rationalization. He's an inconsiderate lout and a bully; that's probably saying a lot by the standards of those guys. None of them are likely experts on what little fork to use at what stage of a white-napkin meal. Someone else said it in the thread: this has been building based off of what seem to be legitimate transgressions instigated soley by Keith. But I can see your point; having tuned in only at the confrontation, it could certainly appear that Johnathan was the instigator. But I don't think that the sentiment of it was staged. Maybe the execution; Johnathan could have take it up with him off-camera. But, on the other hand, Johnathan doesn't seem like the "gone Hollywood" type. If there was any staging; it was to Keith's benefit, imo. Sans cameras, I think the Wizard starts the season late waiting for Keith to be released from the hospital.
I'm sure it was mainly done for the show..
But at the same time, as I explained to my wife, they need to practice these types of maneuvers in case they ever have to really rescue someone.. Now, I'd rather do that near port in calm weather, but 
that's just me..
Yeah, that was incredibly staged. Especially since they somehow managed to switch luggage from boat to boat (and it wasn't in the water with them) So if they could get close enough to toss the bags from boat to boat, I'd think they'd be close enough to use the cranes to transfer people.I'm sure it was mainly done for the show..But at the same time, as I explained to my wife, they need to practice these types of maneuvers in case they ever have to really rescue someone..

They did? If so why was Jake Harris #####ing about not having any rain gear?Yeah, that was incredibly staged.

Both Jakes were told to pack before switching boats, and it seems very unlikely they'd be forced to finish out the season with only the clothes on their back.They did?

Did you miss the comment by Johnathan about Keith almost killing his brother? Keith is a punk, but his yelling was not unprovoked.
Ya, my wife was freaking out and I'm like chill baby.

Pick had a triple posting which he since deleted.
Ya, pie on your face suckah!!!
When the guys on the Time Bandit were checking out the rainbow. One of them said something about how Keith likes Walruses, and the Time Bandit likes rainbows.BigJohn said:
No. I didn't miss it. But I hadn't considered it when I wrote the above post. Not sure how I feel about that. Keith made a very poor decision. I think that he really scared himself with that one. So I don't think it's unreasonable to believe that he carries that decision with him. We all carry around our near-misses. And they can be lead to emotional reactions.BigJohn said:
Wasn't that featured prominently in an episode last season? I just figured it was a reference to that.
Or he watches Deadliest Catch. And it's not like it's some trade secret for the Wizard, it's just a good luck sign for Keith. Very likely Keith would mention that in casual conversation.
No, I think he has an open intercom system but it wasn't clear if they knew he could hear them like that. The Time Bandit is great, and they are going to really have to carry some of the weight if this thing keeps going.Phil has his issues at one of the crab offloads so it can't be too many episodes away now.
Phil died at the end of Opi season which is like January/February. They're still in the late fall before Christmas.
My impression is that season in and season out the Time Bandit finds the crab quick. Didn't they have the one year where they got done so quick they went vacationing with the captain of the Kodiak?Anyway, given that I think Wizard captain is a doosh I wouldn't put it past him to mooch crabbing spots from the Time Bandit. But maybe that's how it works. From looking at some of the screens it looks like these boats are all over each other with their strings.ericttspikes said:
Last season Keith/Wizard got caught putting a string of pots right on top of another boats (CM I believe.) Gotta think that's his MO.Oh, and major
to the film crew on the Northwestern. The footage from the blue crab trip has been just awesome.
Barely remember the guy, I think he only went out for King and wasn't invited back for Opilo. He kinda sucked.
Yeah he was a greenhorn on the Wizard.
Didn't see this past week's episode yet (don't know if they mentioned it) but the Time Bandit has a sauna on it. Good stuff.
Yeah, I hope we see more of that island they showed in the distance. That looked cool.Last season Keith/Wizard got caught putting a string of pots right on top of another boats (CM I believe.)

Yeah, last season, they showed Russell going in the sauna a little too much. It was right before they fired him.
That stopped having meaning several years ago. Back during the derby days, that meant something. But then they went to rationalization where every boat got a quota. Some boats then sold their quota to other boats. So now, before each season, every boat basically determines how much they are going to catch by their quota + whatever additional quotas they buy.
No doubt. It's disturbing enough knowing the end is near for Phil then Jake drops that little nugget. Didn't see that coming at all.
ya that was very disturbing but definitely explains his behavior the past few seasons
It also makes you wonder if the producers have known and just not disclosed it to Phil or anyone.Anybody see "After the Catch"? The captains and Mike Rowe all drank a round of Duck Farts in memory of Phil.
I missed it, what happened?
