Jake's niece first trip on a crab boat. not exactly ideal for a first experience on wheel watch. Jake has a better variety of experience than some captains. He worked under Sig.

The welded piece must be so worm and she brings in hand. Respect

Yeah, he's only 41 year old but his body has taken a lot of damage in part of his previous drug addiction(and continued heavy smoking) along with the stress of working and running a boat. Similarly Sig Hansen basically has a foot in the grave right now where he's probably one more widow maker heart attack away from death and the future doesn't look much brighter for Jake sadly.

@@mrfafaa96 agreed. I can't imagine that a crabbing fish captains life expectancy is all that long due to the very stressful quotas that must be met, worrying about your crew, lack of sleep add the cigarettes and coffee and all of the other worries that I don't even know about. I am sure that it takes years off of their lives. It's one of the reasons why I love the show. You definitely have to be a bad ass to work in the commercial fishing industry especially crab fishing.

@@mrfafaa96 well he's new Stigg to get his heart busted... -.-

@@Abacadabraholmes coffee is actually healthy... just not by the gallon.

@@dirtysouthbushcraftandmma9770 LOL, Exactly

I love how you call him "kid" when in reality he's probably more of a man than you are. I Highly doubt you're the captain of a crab boat in the Bering Sea

Damn that is a hightech ship. Red lamp and alarm goes of because flotilla sensor register water over a certain level. Some keyboard punches, boom, camera straight on the pipe problem.. Those two capteins are fixer heroes, really...

Well I guess I'm not going to finish that nap! (Shakes for 3 hours)

A grade A captain would have immediately ordered the seacock valve to be closed,stopping the ingress of water. But that wouldn’t have been dramatic enough for tv.

@@boataxe4605 to be fair, man just woke up. i would've fallen down the stairs and broke my neck lol

No needs a much more comprehensive inspection process including NDT inspections.

Don’t worry about jake. He’s gonna go down as a legend like Phil Harris.

@@ethanporto1745 The way he's smoking it's likely sadly.

Don't worry. He's fine. It's all scripted. Last season it was Josh and Casey. Everytime they turned around the Cornelia Marie had one crisis after another. The Wizard also had their turn

@@Morty1172 it’s definitely not all scripted. I’ve worked 4 seasons as a deckhand on the Brenna J (boat that’s not on the show) Shit actually does go wrong every year for damn near every boat in the fleet. That’s why these men make so much money doing it. The injury rate working the Bering sea is literally 100% everyone gets hurt. Most full share deckhands can handle it but every year there’s new sets of greenhorns that won’t ever return. The drama between captains might be made up but the fishing and shit going wrong is very real.

I never noticed/knew he put cameras and new alarms. Definitely a life saving move. I remember when he was a greenhorn/new guy and looking at him now, he IS a Captain and no one can tell him otherwise.

@@MMCxXxHawk Bit late to respond, sorry about that. Yeah he has several 4K cameras on the boat and has made A LOT of other upgrades as well. The channel Boat Life has uploaded some homemade videos that Jake has made himself where he shows all the upgrades he's made and explains the choices he's made, for instance why he keeps the captains deck all black and purple. Here's the video going over the 4K camera system: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eMVmhpR5qJiXdWw.html

Honestly I think he has the best crew out there, hands down. Freddy might be the best deckhand for enthusiasm and experience/skill, but otherwise Mason's a great engineer, Mack is a hell of a veteran deckhand who knows what to do in situations (didn't skip a beat, immediately placed a distress call as soon as the situation escalated without waiting for a report and those minutes could wind up saving lives), Shyanne having nerves of steel and being a greenhorn good enough to do welding work to fix a ship that is legitimately going to sink otherwise, and then deck boss Nick being one of the more understated bur professional ones in the show. Jake has surrounded himself with talent, and is most importantly never hesitating to jump into a situation himself when he needs to. He was an engineer and it shows.

Jake is going to be the next Sig.

Not as quick as rubber ones

A green horn who immediately got her captain up and made aware of the situation with the boat,welded a piece of pipe on a rocking boat while its flooding is a bad ass women. Also she is very good looking im not going to lie

Hell No! She’s One Badass Chick!!💯

When your engines start to fail and your waist deep in water and accelerating i think the last thing your worried about is burns

almost like its... a TV show .... weird huh

@@anglermatt mate a vessel taking on water in the engine room is not something a tv show is going to do for drama

She handed it to him bare handed too - tough chick for sure!

@@anglermatt When are you guys going to accept that not every dramatic thing on the show is made up?

😆😆😆 I see it

Gay

@@johanneswestman935 You don’t have to let everyone know your gay…🤷‍♂️😂

Let’s be honest the chicks are on it just to tick the gender boxes, I mean if this chick is a greenhorn, how the hell is she allowed to man the wheel whilst Jake sleeps? All for TV equality woke BS.

What would happen if you took an ice bath? Just curious...

@@dirtysouthbushcraftandmma9770 Simply, the reaction is very quick. Fingers, hands, and sometimes feet mimic frostbite. Circulation slows, skin turns pale and/or bluish, and is numb. Pins and needles feeling only. Takes aggressive warming to reverse. Slow process. Tissue not “damaged “ but feels like it. Is auto-immune disease.

@@dirtysouthbushcraftandmma9770 basically your blood vessels in areas like your fingers and toe spasm and block blood flow until you warm back up. Nothing serious but it can cause complications if blood flow doesn't return for a long time. Source: The multiple cross-country runs my high school made us do in the middle of winter

So true! Shyann is a true badass chick!! I think she earned a step up as a deckhand, she ain’t no damn greenhorn anymore in my opinion!!

They’re in the middle of the Bering Sea, if the boat goes it’s entirely possible they could die.

@@flowerfaerie8931 they have a chase boat less than a mile away. Did you NOT see the AIS screen? It’s all dramatized now. Old DC was great, new DC is just discovery trying to breathe life into a show that unfortunately needs to die.

@@robdog1245 On a tv show, yeah they’ll probably be fine, but OP is acting like losing the boat is the only reason to be concerned about it sinking and that’s not anywhere close to true.

The discovery cameras are battery powered and probably waterproof. 1 cameraman was nailed by a table. That guy Mac must have called the saga's chase boat just in case they needed a rescue.

Yah, Jake is not the sole owner of the Saga, if anything he would give his share to Sean.

Yeah this looked pretty fake

It's real stuff, just the way the show edits and probably a little of the inter crew drama is a little fake

Doubt they’d flood that just for show, would destabilise the boat.

@@HydroSnips It was a tiny area with a little bit of water in it, bilge pump probably had no problem with it. Hell it could of been a spot that normally has water in it. Who knows.

Lol Wut? The whole reason she is there IS because “feminist bs”. Do you seriously think that there is room for a woman on a fishing vessel? You need strong men.

um mate the the forecastle is at the bow were that seagull was walking to that pipe that blew was in the engine room at the stern aka the back of the ship so no

Exactly

um that was a pipe that goes to the crab tank and is not going to be handled by a pump as it is open to the ocean aka there is nothing to stop water entering the pipe opening intel the tank pump that is after were it broke so that pipe was basically a scuttle

Especially since they were already behind. There was. Nno fishing for red king crab that would be a major problem for captains like Jake. I wonder if Shayna is interested in fishing

and seemed dead calm the entire time, like holy shit. veins of ice.

its called whale watch and greenhorns gotta do it too

Probably burned him good till he submerge it in water

She was bare handed when she gave it to him, too.

@@markmills344 good eye..disnt even think about that

@@markmills344 She have glove on both hands but Jake grab the coupler bare hand but on the bottom of it.

@@sontungle2641 Watch it again. When she hands it to him - no gloves on her hands.
