Northwestern LOSES Anchor At Sea - But Captain Sig Has A Clever Plan To Fetch It | Deadliest Catch

[@ryans413]

That pause after sig explained his plan lol it was like the crew had no idea what he was talking about

[@cleech74]

One of the funniest moments in the entire series of the show.😂 Also, great editing of this situation. It balanced out the seriousness of what they were attempting to do, adding a humorous bit from the problem solving conversation they had in the wheelhouse.

@2:56 deckhand commits the ultimate sin on a focsle, Stepping over a line under tension.

[@bravejango12]

I physically winced when i saw that on a video about the ship losing the anchor.

[@ryans413]

Yea that was stupid. I use to work a job where I pulled liner out of pipe and the way it worked was you put the pipe in the vice camp it down then send the cutting tool through the pipe out the other end I guy on the other end of the pip would hold the cutting blade in place then using remote you start the wrench the metal line would start to spool up and pull the cutting tool through the pipe once it hit the other end it grab the liner and pull it out of the pipe. Sometimes the liner would be beat to s**t it happens when it’s drilled into the ground. The winch line would then get very tight and sometimes that cutting tool would fly out of that pipe. We would always yell at the new guys to get the f**k out of the way many times guys would stand right beside the line. I once told a new guy and said why do you think that winch room has a gage around it step back.

Sig needed Edgar. He knows what Sig wants and means before he says it, that's how close they were. Sig was stronger with him. They were a dynamic duo, unstoppable when on same page

[@MississippiMudMX]

were? what happened

[@Audorin]

You do realize Edgar is still on the boat right? He is just off the camera. Discovery also slipped up once.

[@Beckasarus230]

The way sig explained what he wanted and everyone looks at him like braindead morons 😂😂

The crews silence was hilarious, they really don’t want to do that ;)

[@PDGula-lk6dq]

I love me some SIG and CREW!

[@gerbaldo90]

There's not many job I see that I think I couldn't do. I definitely could not do this. So dangerous and brutal shifts/conditions.

[@nymack66]

The crew response, let me explain, that was a TV-scripted moment, they all knew what he was saying and they are all seasoned veterans.

[@KonradvonHotzendorf]

I mean what ever could be the purpose of trying a buoy to the anker in the first place😂

[@jamesmapledoram727]

I feel like maybe the entire decision was scripted. Hey, let's anchor out here in big swells and high winds and see what breaks? Makes for some good drama. lolz

[@tearose3763]

Sig is still a star ❤

[@jamesmapledoram727]

The title, narration and the little animation might as well be describing a different video / not representative of what actually happened at all. I wonder if people who are on these shows ever get annoyed watching it later - or they just figure: Oh well... 90% of the audience won't notice.

[@AmaliaForbes]

He looks tired=alot of stress.. Pretty good plan of action sig .

[@painparty7937]

I worked for Icicle Seafoods on St. Paul Island for 3 Opilio seasons. Beautiful, but strange place.

[@sammyvh11]

Sig is one cool cookie

[@rickh3694]

that is a good idea to put buoys on the anchor line this way if it does snap they will float to the top. I guess it was to rough to make it in the harbor

[@lucmarchand617]

I think you something you don't see every day right.he show people the will try pickup anchor right.nice video

[@searock6701]

this was a few years back as he has Edgar on board.

He's still on board. Just not featured on the show. Sometimes you can spot him in the background.

Captain: Deserved title

[@davidsnyder2000]

God, seems like you can never catch a break on the Bearing Sea🤷‍♂️😐

[@victorlassiter8827]

Man, I was thinking the same thing. Those guys have so many years of experience, and have seen just about everything, but it seems like the Bering Sea can come up with some unheard of crap, just when you thought you'd seen it all. I respect those guys so much, and its a shame we won't be seeing Edgar anymore. He is one seasoned veteran, that's for damn sure.

[@gerbaldo90]

​@@victorlassiter8827 what happened to Edgar?

[@timregan1005]

its fake

[@6120mcghee]

I was on a Navy destroyer and let me tell you. The North Atlantic is as unforgiving as the Bearing Sea. We were literally walking on the walls.

[@joeybagadonuts5774]

Nicely done!

[@townbeach3603]

Out past the surf?

[@darrengladstone3159]

Why would they have floats on the anchor cable already?? Seems suspect. Unless they saw the cable fraying and just let it go for TV.

[@jimbeamm36]

Right. Off TV screen real world the parted cable, chain and anchor will be at the bottom of the ocean.

[@toddmillerjr99]

Actually it's a common thing to put bags on the anchor line just in case something like this does actually happen. And most sailors only drop anchor when close to shore. Never out at sea. The bags are for when you do happen the lose your anchor close to shore, you can attempt to retrieve it.

[@MississippiMudMX]

@@toddmillerjr99 came to say this.

[@kaiden840]

Yeah perhaps because it's a million. Dollar boat and they are seasoned fishermen that don't wanna lose money or be stuck floating in the north sea?

[@robertquinn1945]

Pretty good plan of action sig 😊

[@MrSuperDmitry]

the stupidiest thing you could do during high swell is to drop an anchor. to enter that harbour he could turn his boat against waves and enter to the harbour at 45-60 deg angle against the waves.

[@tdabreo80]

Are you a sea fearing individual?

[@carguy7243]

Yeah because Sig doesn't have that experience like you lmfao

[@timothykappel198]

It wasn't that bad. But unless u start dragging anchor your good.

[@timothykappel198]

I have never seen anyone put buoys on there anchor line. And he was backing down on it when it broke. More than likely he knew he had a bad spot so he said let me see if I can pop it that'll make good tv. If I was him Id tell em if I pop that cable for the show will y'all buy me a new one

[@csjrogerson2377]

Obviously not a mariner. Anchoring in a big swell isnt stupid, just uncomfortable. I would go to the lee of the island or remain a sea. As for saying enter at 45-60 deg to the swell - now that IS really stupid. Waves and swell are not moving bodies of water, you dont alter your course. The swell will make the vessel heel and the heeling induces a turn. The vessel will turn away from the heel and toward the swell, cross the swell-line and do the opposite ie in a corkscrewing motion.

[@Colevid19]

Is it common practice to have bags on your anchor line ?

[@tedheierman1181]

I thought Sig gave up cigarettes?

[@victorlassiter8827]

I think this is an old clip, it has to be, because it has Edgar in it, and they won't film him anymore.

​@Victor Lassiter just getting back into the show. Curious if you could tell me why they won't film Edgar

Do like when I was in the navy. Keep some forward thrust on. when I was in the navy they did it because the anchor was dragging.

[@timregan1005]

translation: (this was scripted clearly) sooooo lets fake lose an anchor because we are back to port early and made a ton of money... but the tv people need action. sooooo i'd gonna make my crew do some stupid crap to kill a day of filming and now my crew hates doing this tv crap. deadliest catch was cool 10 years ago. then all these garbage scripted gold rush stupid follow people doing tough jobs shows came around and ITS ALL SCRIPTED....
