00:00Being in a place abandoned like this it makes you think about every horror movie
00:11you've ever seen that's how I feel right now if I have to sleep in one of these
00:18rundown buildings I don't know if I'd ever go home it's just scary but one
00:27good thing about ADAC is we have a McDonald's I'm a Burger King man myself
00:36but it's pretty cool we have a McDonald's out at ADAC
00:43in the early 1940s the US military created this huge military base out at
00:50ADAC and after World War II ended troops started pulling out and it had a smaller presence
01:02and then a crab industry came in
01:08my grandpa Lee first came to ADAC when he was 12 years old
01:13he was one of the pioneers it's my hope at the very beginning the very starting of our family empire
01:23is where I can grow a future
01:28that's not very good that's not gonna do it
01:58no that's not very good
02:18they're not coming up like we were hoping
02:21I really don't know what I'm gonna do here
02:26they gotta go back in the water someplace
02:29the problem is you don't want to get too spread out because it just takes so much time gathering everything
02:37I mean everything's about the expense you know because the price of fuel has gone up so much
02:42time is money right
02:47Lucian lady that's him over there
02:50I don't know what he's up to
02:59I don't know what he's up to
03:03son of a bitch
03:05what is this
03:13okay
03:14zero seven
03:17no fricken bueno
03:21this is ugly
03:23this is ugly ugly
03:27crap count zero
03:28first count or this count
03:32uh first count this count is four zero four
03:38these numbers suck rick
03:39hey sig how you doing man
03:53oh i don't know whether to laugh or cry
03:57yeah
03:58yes i'm not seeing much so i just i'm curious what you know if you got anything to share because
04:04this is pretty pitiful so far i mean it's nothing exciting a lot of blank pots a couple of tens and
04:13nothing worth grinding on
04:18you know they gotta be around somewhere
04:26zero in that one
04:27so what about your grandpa he had a place out in adac didn't he i mean he's got to know something
04:38yeah my grandpa's owned it for a long time and i don't think anybody's been there for a couple decades
04:45maybe he's got some old information that you can dig up who knows
04:49i know she was bugging me to check it out if i'm ever over here
04:56well i mean i'll hunt around for a while then uh see what we come up with so if i come up with
05:02something you come up with something we can always share share that info that data if you want
05:07i'll let you know if i find out anything and we'll go from there
05:11all right good luck i know you got to do a little digging but uh yeah who knows what you'll run into
05:19all right sig thank you man
05:24do you really think it's a good idea to go into partnership with sig
05:29no no i don't really trust him but right now sig had a good idea to see
05:35if there's anything on adac because if there is anything it's well worth looking at hey even if
05:44i get a little bit i'll still get something
05:51rick he's getting information but in the meantime we gotta see what we can do about finding some crab
05:59i'm just gonna run these up the hill and cover some ground cover some depths see how we do
06:16come on crab come on crap oh my gosh
06:42right there oh there see the little babies

10:41The Coast Guard wants to check all my permits, they come down and do a complete safety check
10:50on your boat.
10:51They're here to keep us safe.

12:33Four feet.
12:34It's only been an upward hill.
12:36We're having such a good season, it's going to end on this kind of note.
12:40All right, Captain.
12:43We're going to be four hours late for the cannery.
12:47Unless I can make up the time on the way to town,
12:50maybe we can make eight and a half with the wind behind us.
12:55What are you guys doing?
13:10Turn around.
13:11You're right that way.
13:12OK.
13:13Russell, come in a little bit.

13:18Pull yours in.
13:19Neil MacGyver.
13:20It looks like they're putting up a sail or something.
13:23I'm like that.
13:24Let's go back on the top one, Danny.
13:25Oh, I'm just going to be in.
13:26I'm going to be in a big way.

13:56Whoa!
13:58Dave Van McCroud, man!
14:02Once you think you've seen everything,
14:04I've never seen that before.
14:09After 20 hours, it helps.
14:12Even an eighth a knot is gonna help.
14:14Save an hour.
14:17You never know.
14:19Seal the deal nil.
14:20Don't ever go anywhere without seal the deal nil.
14:32Guys, just be patient for a minute here.
14:37Roger!
14:40Everything that the old man was doing was all west.
14:46I remember some of these hot spots,
14:48but I don't know exactly.
14:50But he had everything marked on here.
14:58I see a couple of valleys I want to play with.
15:01I mean, when you look, it's pretty, I mean, it's talking to me.
15:12It's definitely, definitely hinting.
15:20There's these little canyons over there.
15:22Take a look, and, uh, we're gonna fire some off.
15:27Roger!
15:31And in the meantime, hopefully Rick will come up with something.
15:33Oh, my grandpa Lee, I'm here because I was talking to him.
15:34I'm here because I was talking to him.
15:35I'm here.
15:36I'm here.
15:37I'm here.
15:38I'm here.
15:39I'm here.
15:40I'm here.
15:41And he thinks he has some of his old charts and log books.
15:42I can't tell the difference between these two.
15:43I'm here.
15:44And he thinks he has some of his old charts and log books.
15:52my grandpa lee i'm here because i was talking to him and he thinks he has some of his old charts
16:07and log books i can't tell the difference between these places
16:13hey grandma how are you doing oh can't complain how's grandpa doing is he able to talk right now
16:26i'm out here in adac wow i'll be darned hey grandpa lee what was the house number again
16:36i'm driving to our house right now one two three three arm bay
16:41all right grandpa i'm gonna take some videos of the inside and bring them home and we could all
16:49look at them that sounds good rick all right grandma and grandpa i love you guys so much love you
17:01i want to check it out i want to find out if there is a potential of finding a gold mine
17:07oh that must be it there yeah 123
17:20at least it's not collapsing
17:26oh let's see if it's open
17:27oh man there ain't even a freaking door handle
17:38it smells like an old person's house
17:44it's kind of like they left it expecting to come back real quick
17:47no way
17:59some old slacks do i even dare touch this stuff
18:03so here's my next outfit got my shirt got my pants
18:08me coaster i'd assume it's one of the boats my family owned up here wow
18:19that stinks
18:28i'm striking out
18:29all right here we go here we go here we go we got a desk
18:41that's badass that's one of my family's old boats the robert e reese off
18:46oh
19:07this is what i was looking for
19:09i mean this thing's so old there's no date on it there's no nothing this might
19:22be something special
19:23this is an old ass chart
19:38this is what i was looking for
19:43from akka adak kanaga tanaga i got from tanaga to akka covered
19:54that's 200 plus miles of bottom
19:59he's got strings in all of these bays all these little passes
20:05in tiny valleys right there wow he has the bearings wrote down he's got the depth curve
20:12changes that aren't on the map
20:16this is priceless stuff we need to find a way to narrow this down
20:21all right i'm gonna get this back to the boat
20:34all right we're getting close
20:44we've got a 30-mile spread on our gear uh different depths shallow to deep
20:52and then uh we'll see what happens here
21:03and i'm excited because i haven't been out this way for quite some time so
21:09i'm hoping that this is similar to what we saw in the past you know similar to what my old man used to
21:15do coming up
21:28no no no no no no no that's not gonna do it
21:40okay next one coming up
21:51that's a little better good they look big that's the main thing
22:01okay but we need more
22:08all right third one
22:12come on come on oh that looks
22:16beautiful
22:32i mean there's still crab it looks good that one looks fine but it is less
22:36so the last couple of pots have been kind of tapering down it almost makes me wonder if the
22:47you know if there's just a little strip in here and 65 is a magic number we're just gonna have to see
22:54see
23:03hey rick how goes it hey man how you guys doing so was it over at your grandpa's place
23:11i found some of my grandpa's old clothes a bunch of old magazines and pictures i found a couple charts too
23:20is there any info on those things
23:28anything we see out here i will share with you okay that's no problem
23:36hey do you want to take a picture of the charts and send it sig okay
23:41i got it hang on a second rick stand by
23:57and these gullies kind of go up to the north but they cross a lot of different depths here
24:0250 60 fathoms here's a gully
24:12he's gonna screw us on this one i got a feeling
24:16i mean kind of if you take my 65 fathom range you know it does narrow it down a little bit
24:22you know i think if you kind of just combine the two you're probably gonna see crap all along in
24:32there all along in that ridge all along in that gully i bet we'll at least put the elevator music on so
24:39i feel like i'm being thought about at least sorry i had you on mute we've been seeing our best signs
24:46of life in that 65 fathom range and all right i was comparing your grandfather's sheets there are some
24:55gullies that kind of go up and down there put the two together and i think that would be a winner i really do
25:05yeah sounds good 65 fathoms why don't i just meet you at the south side of that little gully
25:12you know and then we can work our way up right through that channel be a little tight in there
25:17but if there's crab there's crab right all right man bye
25:26well we got to give it a shot and the sign we saw definitely in that 60 range that 65 range was good
25:32it's just not enough to bang out a big trip but it does show that there's you know that there's crab
25:38out there it pays off it could be good that's all i'm saying i mean if you miss
25:47it's fuel time and money and it's all the things we don't have right now so very risky
25:59my grandpa put in tens of millions of pounds of king crab from out west if i could find something
26:07that could be the game changer
26:20looks like right now we're gonna be a little bit late for the canary we're gonna get our crab to
26:24them but be a little bit late we're doing eight knots that's as hard as i can run it
26:30what up neil's got the sailing he's getting about nine knots out of this nine and a half ten knots
26:36with a sail we'll make it i can see the arborandridge right there
26:43okay go ahead let her back down oh yeah it's right where that white water is
26:54okay look at those breakers we're on a hundred thirteen foot surfboard right now
27:13that entrance is so small dude it's only like 120 feet wide we're 28 feet wide so we only got 50 feet
27:27on each side it's scary
27:32six to nine fathoms three fathoms 18 foot waves yeah that's pretty ugly just not enough water in there
27:39we got three hundred thousand dollars with the crab on board be nice and just tie up to the dock
27:46that's for sure
27:49if we hit the bottom we suck mud up about all our crap to our ground it's happened to a lot of people here
27:57let's get up there and take a look well if we do we're going to surf our way in there that's for
28:02damn sure
28:10that's a big wave that's a big wave
28:22look at that hang on
28:32that's uh scary i don't want to scare me right now look at this oh my god that's the set you don't
28:40want to go in on oh it might be too rough i'll go up yeah it might be
28:45that's your channel right now just do not hit the bottom or as i would put my travel suit on right now
28:55we could we could probably get in there but it's got to wait for the right one
28:59we could get a little closer just ram it up there if you're going to do it
29:04look at that wave look at that wave oh yeah look at that oh my gosh
29:31yeah
29:33so
29:35oh no nothing to do with this nothing to do with this we don't want to go in there by
29:41friend just too shallow right here this is too big already i think
29:46Like, yeah, that's frickin' weight.
29:48Yeah, I'm not going to...
29:49I'll turn around.
29:56Too much money worth of crab on board.
29:58We can lose our boat.
29:59We can lose all our crab.
30:01We can lose our lives.
30:03Uh-uh.
30:05Uh-uh-uh-uh.
30:09Holy smokes!
30:10Oh!
30:13It's got to be 25-foot frickin' break.
30:15Oh, my goodness.
30:19Two extra hours.
30:20Just take a little break,
30:21and then we can go on the harbor.
30:23But not right now.
30:25Not for the faint of heart.
30:38There he is.
30:41Right on.
30:42We're going to do this thing.
30:45All right, are you about ready?
30:48I'm in position.
30:50You've got to move on to the left or right.
30:51Just let me know.
30:52Just have to take a chance and work it together.
30:56Roger that.
30:57I got Bob.
30:59Watching you drop the pod.
31:01I don't want to get too close,
31:03because right now we're going to tangle up
31:05if we set it at the same time.
31:06Yeah, totally.
31:12Hey, how's it going, pig?
31:14So, you think this spot's a winner or a loser?
31:18Well, if it was a winner, then it was my idea.
31:20And if it's a loser, then it was Rick's idea.
31:22All right, I'm going to let the first one go.
31:28Going over!
31:37This is about a tent that's going over.
31:41Roger that.
31:41Roger that.
31:42You're going over.
31:50Go!
31:51I feel like I'm cheating, man.
31:59Like we're using somebody else's old information.
32:09Okay.
32:16So, what do you think?
32:17I mean, we got room for another 10 more each, or what?
32:21It's going to be close.
32:23We're going to be coming out of it here in a couple,
32:25but I want to get as many in here as we can.
32:32I'm just going to let them rip, Tom.
32:34Kind of fire at will right now.
32:36Roger!
32:37Roger!
32:51Well, I think we got a pretty good shot at hitting something here.
33:02I really do.
33:03I don't think you can get any more gear in there properly the way we did.
33:07And I think every pod's going to at least have the opportunity to catch.
33:14It's not all the time you have fun, you know?
33:16So, stress, no stress, crab, no crab.
33:19I had fun.
33:20It was, it's so far so good, man.
33:22Knock on wood.
33:23I think we're going to be okay this time.
33:24I think we're going to be okay this time.
33:26Come around really slow, then we can slowly go in.
33:54It's a really small entrance.
33:58Here we go.
34:04It's a very small harbor.
34:07You see that blinking orange?
34:10Right there, blinking orange.
34:12Head straight towards that.
34:16I can't see it.
34:18Stick your head out the window.
34:20You'll be able to see really good.
34:22I can't, I can't see it, man.
34:24Are you going the wrong way, Neil?
34:25I know I am.
34:26I'm turning around again because I can't see that.
34:28You've got to stick your head out the window to see.
34:31You're coming in too hot.
34:32I can see it.
34:33I don't think I see it right now.
34:34Let me, let me get it.
34:34I got it.
34:35Go ahead, Neil.
34:36You're going to see it.
34:37I can't, I can't see it.
34:38I'm not going in.
34:39If you can't see it, don't do it.
34:40I can't see it.
34:48Aim straight for that light.
34:49Yep, yep.
34:50Straight for the light, brother.
34:52I'm coming in slow.
35:01Stay away from that breakwater on your right.
35:03Yeah.
35:05A huge breaker's going in there, brother.
35:07I'm going to the part of the left.
35:11I can see it.
35:12The harbor entrance, but it looks sketchy as hell.
35:16I can see the breakwater on your side.
35:19Straighten it out.
35:20Don't let it pull you to the starboard.
35:22Where's the blinking yellow?
35:23Go starboard or port.
35:25Two pathoms.
35:28This ain't easy.
35:30One pathom.
35:32Very scary.
35:34Very scary.
35:34They turn the starboard a little.
35:38Starboard, starboard hard.
35:49The reason it's called the time bandit is because it steals your time.
35:54Might add on a boat, name is Sea Wife.
35:55That takes your time and your money.
35:57Sea Wife.
35:59I'm right here.
36:01I'm sorry.
36:02I didn't know you were there.
36:03I was terrible, honey.
36:06Oh, my God.
36:07I'm in trouble.
36:07You guys might have to protect me.
36:10I need protection.
36:11We're here to keep the peace.
36:12That's it.
36:12We're here to keep the peace.
36:14We're here to keep the peace.
36:28Who pathoms?
36:29One pathom.
36:37Very scary.
36:42Where's the blinking yellow?
36:50You see the blinking yellow?
36:51Yep.
36:54Just keep coming around to the port.
36:55Okay.
37:00Straighten it out.
37:07Right ahead.
37:09Yep.
37:09Okay, this ain't easy.
37:12No, you're good.
37:17Give her the all she got.
37:21Coming in.
37:21Hot run.
37:22Just like that right there.
37:25I got it right here.
37:25We got it made.
37:26Yep.
37:27Keep going.
37:27I can see the whole shot, buddy.
37:29Got the whole shot.
37:34Woo!
37:34Straighten her out.
37:35Now I got to go wipe this off my ass.
37:37Wow.
37:42Yep, you got it.
37:43We need it.
37:44I got straight.
37:44Imagine abandoning ship right there.
37:49How embarrassing would that be?
37:50My whole career flushed out of the toilet.
37:53We just got schooled by this little harbor.
37:55Wow.
37:58Holy moly.
37:59What a long day.
38:00Hey.
38:00We got the first one coming up.
38:20Took a big risk, but I don't have any regrets.
38:23Not at this point.
38:24All right, coming up on the first pot.
38:33Here we go.
38:44A lot of suspense here.
38:47We took the west side.
38:49Six took the east side.
38:51I can't wait to get the first one up.
38:52I can't deny that.
39:10Oh, hell yeah.
39:12There's 50, 60.
39:13Nuh-uh.
39:14Yeah.
39:15It's looking good.
39:16Yeah.
39:17Hell yeah.
39:18Yeah, baby.
39:22There we go.
39:24There you go.
39:25There you go.
39:26We got me, Rick.
39:27Hey, Sig.
39:28Well, I'm telling you.
39:29Woo!
39:30We are in them.
39:31Oh, yeah.
39:32Whoa.
39:33That string is just on fire right now.
39:38It's doing great.
39:39Woo!
39:40Hey!
39:41Oh, yeah, baby.
39:42There we go.
39:43There you go.
39:44There you go.
39:45Oh, yeah, baby.
39:46There we go.
39:47There you go.
39:49We're in them big, man.
39:51Yeah!
39:52Yeah!
39:53Yeah!
39:54Woo!
39:55Woo!
39:56Woo!
39:57Woo!
39:58Woo!
39:59Woo!
40:00Woo!
40:01Thank you for not screwing me.
40:02I'm impressed, man.
40:03Way to go.
40:04Everything you're doing.
40:05We thread the needle.
40:06I don't think you can get any more gear in there.
40:09Woo!
40:10This is going to be very fun.
40:13Holy crap.
40:14All right, you guys.
40:15Thank you, man.
40:16Yeah!
40:17Woo!
40:18It worked out great.
40:20I don't think this was just luck or coincidence.
40:22I think that this place is rebounding.
40:24It's coming back.
40:25And it's like we stepped back in time, you know?
40:27It's pretty exciting to see.
40:30An hour and two minutes late, but they're going to take us.
40:33Thank you, Larry.
40:34Woo-hoo!
40:35Thank you, God.
40:36Around it, right?
40:37They double that one up.
40:38Oh, yeah.
40:39Yeah.
40:40Yeah.
40:41Yeah.
40:42Yeah.

40:50Yeah.
40:51Yeah.
40:52Yeah.
40:53Yeah.
40:55We did it.
40:56We made it, dude.
40:58And the sale saved us a couple hours.
41:00Oh, baby.
41:02Half a million dollars' worth of crab on the line right here.
41:06I don't know if this is the smallest harbor in the world,
41:08but it's the smallest harbor I've ever been in, in the world,
41:11in the world I know.
41:13Good boat.
41:14Good boat.
41:15Unbelievable.
41:20Look it up, bad dog.
41:21Christmas Day right here.
41:23Here this is a fisherman's Christmas right here. Yep
