‘Deadliest Catch’: Johnathan Hillstrand & Keith Colburn Team Up Against Sig Hansen
Sig Hansen uses an underwater ROV to locate premium northern king crab as captains briefly team up and compete for limited gear.
The Season 22 premiere of Deadliest Catch follows Sig Hansen of the Northwestern as he enlists Wild Bill Wichrowski of the Summer Bay to locate premium northern red king crabs using a high-tech underwater ROV.
These "genetic monsters" feature "thicker shells" and are found in waters farther north than the fleet has ventured in two decades, complicating the search for the massive crustaceans.
Keith Colburn of the Wizard and Johnathan Hillstrand of the Time Bandit felt ignored by Sig, leading them to deploy a smokescreen and tangle the Northwestern's lines in retaliation.
After the initial hostility, the three captains realized "we don't have time to be enemies," deciding to cooperate and locate the edge of the school of red king crabs.
By utilizing the ROV to pinpoint the school's edge, the fleet successfully secured a large catch, proving that "when you do come together... it's the big picture that matters.
