I didn't see the show, but it seems like "The Deadliest Catch" is a thing of the past now that each boat has a quota. If the weather's bad, they can just stay home for a day. I'm sure it's still cold and dangerous, but just not to the same degree.

its a north east thing to be an asswhole . go anywhere else in this country ( besides cali ) and you will find some really nice people and friendly too . but here its just the opposite . Just look at this site : someone gives their opinion on anything and people jump down their throats and start crap . why ? cause its the north east and we are too concerned with ourselves and only our opinion counts . |

Shaddup, Chris L.....we're not all touch-holes. Why don't you just sit on it 
I liked the CG footage...not something you saw a lot of. Seems like they have cameras on a lot of boats but are only featuring a few. Going to be a different season!
On a side note, anyone know what ever happened to "Bink" from the first season? He was the one the deckhands said was a jerk but caught a TON of crab....never saw him again. |

I lived in Mass for 5 years, CT and RI for 2. Recently I was talking to a customer about the differences between Texas (where he lives and where I lived for a short time) and the northeast, and it really is night and day.
It's too bad, because otherwise New England is a great place to live.

Your not kidding,,,, People are very friendly in TX. So are the women.... I have been working for a company here for 3 years and have had a lot of fun being a single guy with lots of good looking women around.. oops,, can I talk like that here,,,,.But I do have to say the Dallas/Ft Worth area is the only place I know where they build houses without kitchens,, j/k... I have never seen so many restaurants that are busy all the time... It is amazing....
Never the less I sure miss the fishing in CT New England and BI... Can't wait to get back there and start fishing this summer and fall,,,, It seems like my many 2 1/2 week trips go by way to fast.... |
