If these guys are grabbing armloads of crabs and jamming them into the holding tanks,how do they get an accurate crab count?Also,How do they know if there is the right size crabs and right spieces like Opilio anf tanner?I mean these guys are grabbing armloads of crab and jamming them into the holding tanks and them calling the captain with a number of crabs per pot. I don't get it??? 2  out of 2 found this valuable. Do you?

What we don't always see is all the sorting that's done...remember everything is edited down drastically. From what I gathered (they showed this on the Northwestern this King Crab season)....each deckhand sorts out what they do, and gives the nubmers to one person who totals it and tells the captain.

They use those white plastic mesuring things to determin what's "legal" and what's not, lots of times it's obvious one is plenty big enough so it'd be a waste of time to measure it and they just count it and put it in the "keeper" pile.

you see the green horns taking longer too cause they're still learning the different types, but for the "old salts" it's probably as easy as counting to 10 anymore lol

YOU AGAIN!!!!!!!!!! You don't bother any of us with your remarks. You are a little peon who is trying to cause trouble. Keep up the accusations and you'll get booted. What you're doing is slanderous. You must be an insecure person to want to trash some of most dedicated and hardworking men in the world. GO AWAY!!!!!!!!!

That's a good question! They must grab a pile and count their own pile. Then add up all of their totals and tell the captain. Of, course all of that doesn't get on camera. A lot can happen very quickly on those boats and they have to edit it all into a one hour program WITH COMMERCIALS! I'm glad it's not my job. (<:

That's a very good theory newbie. Makes sense too. There's alot we don't see in one hour, and I'm glad it's not MY job either. LOL I have respect for ALL the Captains. After the newest show on Tuesday I realized that Keith IS good, he just is a bit gruff. I guess havin the responsibilites that the Captains have get to them, and Keith just handles it differently sometimes. He's ok.

You should see me on one of MY bad days...On second thought , it would be embarrasing! I can be the best friend in the world if treated with love and respect...If not I can be the coldest b___h you ever met! I'm not proud of it...I had a hard childhood at school and fought a lot. The bitterness has followed me and I have trust issues. God sustains me, as well as you and the other ladies on the wiki.(<:

I'm not pleasant at all on MY bad days. And before 9am? Don't even talk to me!!!!!! I too can be the best and sweetest friend in the world if you treat me with respect. If not you may want to run quickly in the opposite direction. I think a lot of us have had trust issues in our lives. But as you say God watches over me, and meeting you and the other girls on the wiki is helpin my trust factor. :)
