He was a little relieved when he saw that it was an actual experienced captain that did it and not some no body

[@erglis7]

Probably the only reason he laughed it of at the end.

[@intorainbowzOG]

But they let Jake drive!

[@sectorz1019]

@@intorainbowzOGyeah jake already knew how to drive the boat I believe he just got he’s license than, plus he had sig and egar with him

[@tihseht472]

Yeah, dont blame him at first as it could have been some dumb drunk/high deckhands wanting to prank the capt or something but once he found out it was the hansons n the hillstrands he was chilling. 1 no ones more experienced then those guys n 2 they have the ability to make up for something going bad. Example if something bad happend then i bet the time bandit n northwestern wouldn't just pay for the repairs, theyd also be fishing for the cape caution as it was being repaired where deck hands or others that dont own thier boats couldnt do that.

[@tihseht472]

​@@intorainbowzOGyeah, jakes obviously a skilled fisherman n sig was right there on the boat literally talking him through everything while also keeping an eye on everything which u cant do from the wheelhouse.

His face when he looks over his shoulder. He honestly looks like he's ready to kill.

[@dreel1981]

They should have told him, "the harbor master said you was parked in a handicap zone and was goin to have your boat towed." Lol

They could have ramped up the absurdity by saying it was going to get clamped 😂

God damn he was ready to send someone to jail 😂😂 thankfully it was sig 😂😂 he probably thought it was his crew messing with him or something and he was ready to crack a whip 😂

That’s what I call a prank. Short and harmless

they should of had it set up to sail it by while the fireworks where going off... however if just moving it was really that serious, that might be a crab too far.

Would do something similar to my buddy after he Would fall asleep. I would hide his bicycle in odd places. Put up a tree and on his roof. Oh yeah in his shower was the funniest.

[@randomlyentertaining8287]

You know, this brings up a good question. What, beside penalty of law, knowledge of how to operate one, and personnel requirements, really stops someone from stealing a boat right from the dock? XD Seems like they rode up, hopped on, started 'er, and just rode off.

[@TheBarretNL]

Thats a good question, i was always under the impression they leave one or few guys behind in shifts, that or they have actual security choke points where they have keys off , a fens or ya know gate of sorts.

[@samkom33]

@@TheBarretNL stealing a big boat like this isnt like say a car where you just turn a key. 😏 even my tiny 35 feet boat have more than 10 things you do before, and right after you start the engine.. Say check the oil, cooling water and so on, spesially if the boat have been left alone a while.. but i guess they pulled it off becouse most crab boats have a simular upset and Sig and Edgar have many year experience.

[@scottchegg828]

its scripted

[@Rashinnu]

Hey pranks like that are great for morale and you can get that Bill will get his revenge at some point. They are a time honored tradition on the Bering sea.

[@nathanp8152]

I haven't finished the video yet but one thing stands out that tells me this is all planned and scripted into the show is while "stealing" the boat, the captain is saying over and over how they are ready to head out soon as they get back. He says it over and over and then says " we are ready to go unless some outside source changes that plan" lol how convenient is that

[@ianmeana1987]

Camera crew can set them up to speak about questions/topics, so its still possible he really dpesnt have a clue. As far as im concerned, that's a natural reaction by the captain

[@BuckScrotumn]

I thought the same thing, but when you realize that there are hours and hours of footage they never use, it doesn’t seem that crazy. I’m sure the camera crew was also aware of the prank and gave him leading questions while driving to the dock.

[@peterclarke7240]

You have to remember that these guys operate on good luck as well as skill. I imagine Bill is used to things going wrong, like his crew going Awol, the parts he needs not being there, the boat not starting, etc etc etc. So he's repeating the line about being ready to go as a sort of prayer, but is still expecting something to go wrong 😂
