Taking into account the rough seas on top of that there would have probably been a serious injury if he let them work, it's a tough choice to make as very few people actually enjoy firing others, but when your actual life depends on their competence at the controls of multi tonne machinery you always choose your life first.

Jake warned them, Bill warned them, Sig warned them, Keith warned them, and Jr. and Josh and Casey warned them If you are intoxicated, if you are smoking dope, or if you get caught drinking and you come up brown on a urine or smear test you don't belong on a boat. Elliot lost his boat because he smoked Crack and he was doing it and Meth on the Saga Coast Guard ordered him back to port and Saga got impounded Jake got it out and Cornelia Marie ended up on the auction block after Jake Harris was caught with Weed on the boat causing Darrick Lane of the Trailblazer to lose his license and the Cornelia Marie to be sold on the auction block. Josh bought it back and Casey helped him and they plan to keep it drug free. After incidents on Rambling Rose, Saga, Cornelia Marie, and the Wizard Trident and the Coast Guard imposed a strict No Drugs or Alcohol policy if any drugs or alcohol are found that person is off the boat, if they don't show up for work automatic termination, and if the drug test or the smear test comes up brown they don't belong on the boat. Although Dutch has a bar it is illegal to have alcohol here the Aleutians and Alaska are on an Indian reservation and drugs and alcohol are not allowed.

[@Durchii]

I'm a recovering alcoholic, as well, and couldn't deal with drunken crew members risking everybody's lives. Fuck all that. He made the right (only) decision.

[@JessieCristo]

What endears Jake Anderson to me even more is that he not only recognizes his past mistakes, he doesn't make excuses for them and he doesn't try to blame others for them either. Then even though Sig had doubts about him, Jake proved him wrong then still goes around crediting Sig for being a part of his success. He still calls Sig his mentor up to this day. It's heartwarming to see how far those two have come.

[@geomodelrailroader]

Jake did a boss move he warned them he gave them the strips, Sig warned them, Bill warned them, Josh and Casey warned them, and Johnathan and Andy warned them you don't bring drugs or beer onboard. Trident has a strict policy anyone caught with drugs or beer on the boat will be marooned at the closest port, sent to jail, and deported to the Lower 48 and sent to federal prison. Jake did the right call he does not need to deal with those freeloaders. He brought those guys there to fish and what does Jamie, Kenny, Banjo, and the rest of the crew do? They squander their pay the moment the boat is unloaded and go to the Dutch Bar and get drunk! Jake told them No Beer! and still they do this time to dump those clowns and have them sent back to the Lower 48.

@@JohnRitchiejd23 I was not talking about Jake I was talking about Kenny his deck boss. Jake fired him because he took 3/4s of the crew with Jamie and went to the bar and got drunk.

That worked out REALLY well for Jake. He's been a continually impressive character on this show. I completely agree with him firing those guys, they come aboard thinking the Captain is their buddy and they can get away with whatever they want, and now it's not only them that have learned a lesson, it's anyone else who might come work for Jake. He's set the example and shown that he has his priorities straight. I've seen Captains throw everything away and I've seen Jake work his way up from nothing and he has been the most steadily improved on the show, by far.
