DVR'ed it and watched it this AM. It is a dangerous business working on boats non-stop like that but IMO the regulators bring this on. There is no reason to have a 5-day crabbing marathon where guys "Have" to stay out in all weather around the clock. It is stupid and not needed. IMO, there is no reason why anyone should have to die fishing for a crab. Think about that for a moment.

Here's a suggestion: Adjust the season 1 day per week and they pick the day. There are only a couple hundred boats it would be easy to manage.
If anything, that show illustrates the greed and low intelligence level that many Comm. fisherman and all regulators seem to have. Why must you catch the entire seasons crab allowance in 5 days? This has turned into a crab race which really is a stupid idea.

Comm fishing regulators are run by guys that must look like this --->
