I love them all except The Wizard or whatever. Keith seems like a douche. He sets pot for pot on Phil. He was such an unnecessary ass to Moi a few seasons ago. Now he takes one of the Time Bandit boys at the end of the season? I know these guys have to work and it was what's his names decision (the guy who was fired) but it just seems like that would break the brotherhood that every boat has. I don't know. I just really don't like Keith. I'd even rather have Monte than Keith.

In order of preference:

Time Bandit - Jonathan is by far my favorite captain. He's funny as hell but he takes care of his boat & his crew. He's a family man & I love him for that though truth be told, his son Scotty is a douche. Andy is also fun & I like seeing a young captain.

Cornelia Marie - Phil is great & I love watching the relationship he has with Josh & Jake. I also laugh at his "crab farts" theory.

Northwestern - You can't go wrong with Sig. He's a crabby guy but he's very entertaining. Beneath his grumpy exterior is a good guy as evidenced in what he did for Jake Anderson. He also has the nicest boat in the fleet.

Incentive - Wasn't shown much this season but you gotta love a hardass captain with a full on fu manchu mustache.

Wizard - Keith is an asshat. He really is.

Yeah,what Sig did for Jake was very kind of him,and you can see the rest of the crew really feel for him when his sister died. I know how Jake feels losing an older sister.:(

Time to bump up this thread because I had to. For Christmas, one of the gifts Mike got me was the sweetest sweatshirt from the Time Bandit. It's black and has a picture of the boat on the back with this lettering:
"F/V Time Bandit
Dutch Harbor, Alaska"

Haha! I love this show & went over the moon when Mike got me the sweatshirt. Now I have to buy him a Northwestern one b/c that's his favorite boat & captain.

In a weird coincidence, it turns out that my youngest sister (we never really got along) both love the show. We finally have something in common other than blood. She's a fan of the Cornelia Marie. It was great to finally bond with my sister over something. :) My father-in-law is a fan of The Wizard as well.

Yeah, Time Bandit! Congrats on your sweatshirt and the new connection with your sister. :)

:(

Phil Harris, Captain of the F/V Cornelia Marie suffered a stroke while off-loading.

No further information is out at this time. My thoughts and prayers are with him and his sons during this time. I'm so sad and I truly hope he's o.k.

Oh no! I love Phil. I hope he's going to be alright. He will definitely be in my prayers.

I like Phil,too,but when he recovers..I don't think his doctors will allow him to work. He may have no choice but to retire.:(

He didn't make it :( I'm sure they have a lot of support from the other crews and fans right now.

Captain Phil will be missed. I am definitely praying for the Harris boys to get through this.

I got a Cornelia Marie sweatshirt. I absolutely love it and plan on wearing it a lot. Lol. I finally get 2 of my favorite sweatshirts & it's going to be in the 80's here in Southern California.

The season premiere is tonight and I can't wait! I get the east coast feed so it's recording so I can watch later tonight with no damn commercials.

Is anyone watching this season? I almost feel like I'm waiting for Phil to die. It's kinda ruining it for me. I try not to bawl every episode either.

And DH and I both don't like the captain of the Kodiak. Shoot his own son quit after king crab season.

they had the marathon on yesterday and I was watching it at various times, and every time I turned it on I would wait to see if Phil was still alive. Completely morbid of me.

i'm watching. one of my favorite shows. i dont mind the captain of the kodiak... he just has some bad luck. i hate captain keith of the wizard though.

i have the biggest crush on Sig.

I like the captain of the Kodiak. He's salty but I miss the captain with the fu-manchu mustache. I think he captained the Maverick.

Keith is an asshole. I'm glad the Hillstrands called him out on his bullshit.

I feel the same way with Phil b/c he suffered the stroke during an off-load of opilio crab season. Now that opi season has started, I watch every episode wandering if this is the one. :(
