00:00It's less than perfect conditions today.

00:13You know, we're in the fjord, so with the amount of current we have,

00:16these things are stacked up one right next to the other.

00:20With any luck, we'll get up, try to find this bag,

00:23and if we can get to it, we can haul it, we're going to haul it.

00:26Fighting against strong currents in the deep trough of the fjord,

00:31Captain Wild Bill attempts to deal some frontier justice

00:34to the invasive Russian Reds.

00:39If you slow down, just fly him over.

00:44Float owners in the bow telling me we're crazy, and we all know that.

00:49He ain't Wild Bill for nothing.

00:52Even though we are in fjords, the weather turns in a heartbeat.

00:54It can get deadly.

00:57I came here to catch crab, no matter what the weather's like.

01:02That's my guy.

01:07First one coming up.

01:10This is all a prospect.

01:11It's kind of a short suit to see if there's anything really nice in this area.

01:16I want to see what the first one brings.

01:21Come on, you can grab.

01:24Come on, guys.

01:35King crab.

01:37King crab.

01:37All right, baby.

01:39Honestly, I'm glad to see something crawling.

01:43Good sign.

01:43This next one is a little deeper.

01:48Coming up.

01:52Come on, you can grab.

01:54Come on.

01:55Nice big crab.

01:58That's good.

01:59There's some kings.

02:01There's some kings.

02:03Three crab, Bill.

02:05Seeing some life gives me optimism.

02:07After only six hours of soak time, the string hits the crab an hour threshold, opening the

02:14door to $50,000 a day and making Bill one of the only two Bering Sea captains to catch

02:21Red King this year.

02:23All right.

02:24Sounds good.

02:24Oh, that's a heavy one right there.

02:26My head is good.

02:30Oh, yeah.

02:32Five in the last pot, Bill.

02:35Looking good.

02:36We don't have real far to go up to the next limit.

02:39She is roughly straight south by only 60 meters.

02:47You see it?

02:49Oh, we are really close to the ship.

02:51You see it?

02:53Yeah, that's it.

02:54Straight in.

02:55That is way off the mark.

02:56Got it.

03:06Got it.

03:12We have it.

03:17Oh, shit.

03:18Oh, shit.

03:19Gear out.

03:20Gear out.

03:22Satan, he has it.

03:23Fetch it.

03:26Oh, it's in.

03:28In the wheel?

03:28It's in the wheel.

03:30What?

03:30In the wheel.

03:33No way.

03:33Yeah, there.

03:35F***ing hell.

03:36Just cut it off.

03:38As long as I can, right?

03:39Yeah, cut it as low as you can.

03:42Okay.

03:44Cut!

03:45We're headed towards the beach.

03:47I'm going to bump it in reverse to get off the beach here.

03:50Come away from the side.

03:51Okay, yeah, we'll get out of the way.

03:54Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

03:57No, no.

03:59Looks like it's stuck.

04:04This is really, really bad.

04:06Where is the shore, though?

04:08Yeah, we're close.

04:10F***ing it.

04:12We need a tow.

04:13A line snarled in the propeller renders Captain Wild Bill dead in the water.

04:19The Tromsten, now at the mercy of the currents, just feet from the jagged shore.

04:25Let's call the Coast Guard.

04:31Where are they at, bud?

04:34Bison.

04:34Bison?

04:35Bison?

04:35Yeah.

04:37Do you want to talk to them or...?

04:38No, I don't.

04:39You speak to them in Spanglish, man.

04:41KV Bison, KV Bison, Tromsten, can I say it?

04:47Yeah, Tromsten, KV Bison, say it.

04:52All right.

04:52They told me that since we are inshore, we have to contact the rescue company.

05:04It's regulations and stuff.

05:13The Norwegian Coast Guard defers inshore towing requests to private enterprise.

05:20So how do we get a hold of those guys?

05:22Try and call them.

05:24Forcing Bill to support local business, one that has a closing window to keep him off the rocks.

05:31Hello, can you sit over to HRS in Nord-Norga?

05:38Yeah, hey.

05:40The Russian boat is in Harvilsund, the other town.

05:45So we have to wait for them.

05:47They want us to wait until it...

05:49That's how many...

05:50That's like...

05:51Ten miles.

05:52Yeah.

05:52Without propulsion, Captain Wild Bill uses the rudder to point the vessel into the tide,

06:03reducing drag on the ship and slowing its collision course with the shallows, 65 yards away.

06:10You know, the worse the weather, obviously, the more the risk, so...

06:13The wind's blowing hard, tide's running hard, and we're getting pushed around quite a bit.

06:20And if the weather gets worse, we'll be in a...

06:24Come on, come on, come on.

06:30We're 60 meters away from the beach.

06:32They're coming up on the starboard side.

06:54Thank you!

06:57He's pretty smart.

07:01He's coming in upwind, so when they throw a heaving line, it'll be a downwind, easy toss.

07:11Yeah!

07:13Hey!

07:16There you go.

07:19Landon's pulling up the towline.

07:21Okay, it should be good, and we're all secured up forward.

07:32Good to have these guys.

07:33Yeah, it's an amazing service.

07:36With any luck, this is an easy fix.

07:38We can verify that we're all in good shape.

07:41And then we're going to turn around and come back out and try to finish our task.

07:46So we'll see what happens.

07:48Now it's ready.

07:49Just about to hit the water.

07:57Diver down.

07:59Hopefully, these guys can assess the situation and get this line out of our wheel.

08:08What are you doing there, buddy? Don't fall in.

08:09Hand up the line.

08:14A long, a long line.

08:15This is the hole that was on the propeller.

08:18Oh, okay.

08:19Well, that's good news.

08:22So this was the end that had the trailer bag on it.

08:25And this got wrapped around the shaft.

08:27Well, we got it figured out.

08:28Nothing's broken.

08:29Yeah, yeah.

08:30You're happy, I know.

08:33I understand, man.

08:33It's your investment, and it is made out of Tupperware, so we got to be careful with it.

08:37Well, at least it doesn't rust.

08:44Yeah, this is quite expensive, but I think I might forward the bill to a wild bill.

08:52I think I can cover this.

08:55He was driving, so.

08:58We still got a little bit of daylight.

09:00We'll go ahead and haul some gears, see what we got.

09:04Let's go.

09:25We're going to go.

09:26Yeah.

09:27She's right.

09:28She's right.

09:28We'll go.

09:29She's right.

09:31She's right.

09:32So this is a great idea.

09:33We're going to have to go together.

09:34She's right.

09:35She's right.

09:36She's right.

09:37So this is called the semanary and her, and I will take a new scene from her.
