“It’s times like this that remind us just how fragile our lives are. Last year, the vessel was lost at sea – making a huge impact on this tight-knit community of fisherman and the industry. But as always, the biggest battle they face is against a turbulent Bering Sea in the stormy dead of winter.īefore setting sail, the captains will pay tribute and honor their friends and fellow fishermen of the F/V Destination. Big money is on the line, the fishing is more competitive than ever and the captains are going to battle to catch as much of the high-value crab as they can. With the lucrative Bairdi fishery opening back up, adding millions of pounds to the pot, there is a renewed sense of optimism. “After several lean seasons, the Alaskan crab fleet are back to claim their part of a massive $120-million-dollar bounty. This was simply a decision made by production at Discovery.”Īnd the Cornelia Marie returned for season 14.ĭiscovery described season 14’s storylines like this: Josh Harris said, “This was not a dispute over money. When the Cornelia Marie was dropped from season 13, though, that wasn’t because its captain effectively had a storyline wrapped up and concluded, as Johnathan did last season. The Cornelia Marie was dropped from Deadliest Catch season 13.
The show has dropped a popular boat before. Time Bandit isn’t on the show, that’s all I am willing to say.” Another boat dropped from Deadliest Catch Sheryl previously posted, “I will not discuss anything to do with Deadliest Catch in Season 14. Why the boat isn’t on season 14 isn’t as clear. Unfortunately, paperwork and permits did not come through, so Capt Johnathan is back fishing Kings and Opilio crab this year.” Plans were made for Capt Johnathan “retire” from King Crab and Opilio Crab fishing, to start a brand new crab fishery this year. Is he really, or is he just teasing us? Did Capt Johnthan totally retire, or is he going to go on occasional trips, just so he won’t have “fishing withdrawal”? Are you fishing another fishery, Johnathan? Sheryl, the person who runs Johnathan’s social media and periodically answers fans’ questions, posted this question and answer on Facebook:ģ. Instead, he was going to switch to a different fishery. Johnathan did plan to retire from fishing king and opilio crabs, but not from crab fishing entirely. So what’s the reason for the discrepancy? Did the show make up his retirement as a storyline? Or did he come out of retirement? His boat isn’t one of those that will be featured on season 14-a remarkable change since the boat and its crew have been filmed for the show since its second season.īut Johnathan Hillstrand has been actively crab fishing this season, captaining the Time Bandit for the opilio crab season. At the end of Deadliest Catch season 13, Time Bandit captain Johnathan Hillstrand retired after 37 years of crab fishing.
