That drunk guy broke one of the golden rules of working on a fishing boat: DO NOT, EVER, drink alcohol on board. Zero-tolerance policies exist for a reason.

I met the captain of the northwestern once. He was at a bar in a hotel in Nashville, people were bothering him and surrounding him. I was enjoying myself drinking and eating, then once people mostly had left him alone I walked by leaving and told him I'm recognized him but couldn't place it and hi. He stopped me and told me from where he shook my hand said nice to meet you. He was polite and great sweet spirit about him. And left it at that.

I hate dealing with drunks. They ruin it for everyone. So selfish.

[@warmcanadain7649]

The northwestern is a perfect example of why (I personally) think forward bridges are better than the usual design like on the wizard or time bandit because if a wave like that went over the bow of one of them they’d have a man overboard where as on the northwestern the crew is protected by the bridge

If I was Captain or owner of that boat that young man would be instantly fired

From my computer it looks like rust was being hidden by paint only to be brought to light with a big hit.

Them old drunken days is no good

[@richardpearcy6149]

Looks like Jake from SAGA needs to fire a drunk

Amazing how watching this show for so many years makes you like these guys are family. I really worry about their safety every year even though I'm thousands of miles away. Still remember, with sadness, the passing of captain Phil. Rip and God bless the fleet.

Total respect to all these guys who risk their lives day in day out.

[@davidsnyder2000]

When that 35’ wave broke up into the windows of the wheelhouse I I thought at first it broke the windows out. Holy crap what a cameraman to duck but keep filming while trying to keep his balance. Holly cow!. That’s just insane!😬😞🙏

I grew up with Nick McGlashan in Montana. I havent been able to watch the show since he passed. I still remember I was all talking up Nick to my wife. I was so proud of everything he had accomplished and that he had turned his life around. The very next day she told me that he had passed.

You know a big wave is coming when you see Sig diving for cover!

[@robroy4406]

These brave men deserve all the respect in the world to deal with these waves' day and night, I take my hat off for these guys.

My Grandfather was in the U.S. Marines in WW1 , he was on what they call today as a heavy battleship , said they were heading up to Canada and somewhere around Nova Scotia ran into a bad storm, the waves hit the ship so bad he said it caved in the bow , the ship had to be dry docked for repairs , can never take the ship your in for granted in heavy seas

I have to say that season 18 was probably one of my favorite seasons on the saga, ever since Hillstrand went out with Jake it’s been a different place

[@donbelenger817]

These men have my highest respect. I was a crab fisherman on the east coast for 4 years. I'm been in rough seas but compared to what they face it's a big difference. The ship I was on was 185ft and I admit I got scared a few times we were going to go

[@mitch52301]

I have much , very much respect for the kind of work these guys do!! As for the dude boozing it up, no way would he be on my boat at sea. I know all to well, from my grandfather, and my dad, you can drink all you want back at the docks.Out on open water, miles from help, you need to be aware of your surroundings, and you don't need any distractions. Look at the weather they are dealing with, and out there it can change in seconds. No place to have to baby sit a drunk!!!

No matter what you think or who you are the ocean always commands respect.
