Deadliest Catch Episode 7 : High Hopes , Episode 8 : Good Fishing (DVD, 2007)

Description: Deadliest Catch Episode 7 : High Hopes , Episode 8 : Good Fishing (DVD, 2007) High Hopes - It is a little over 12 hours since the Opilio Crab Season opened, and the Bering Sea has already claimed 6 lives. Despite these losses, the rest of the fleet begins to pull the pots they set 12 hours before. Their hopes are high as they approach the first strings of pots. Captain Sig Hansen of the Northwestern is betting on an area far North, near the Russian border that records show yield crab. His nerves are tested as their first pots show no sign of life, but his concern is quickly erased as the pots start coming up full of crab. Captain Jeff Weeks of the Billikin, a top producer for the last 3 Opilio seasons, feels the pressure when the only sign of life in his first pots is cod fish. Jeff and his co-captain Jim Hilt haggle over which of them has better luck finding the crab, but the arguing ends when the crab starts pulling aboard. Captain Peter Liske, a devoutly religious man, prays for the souls of his lost friends, and for the lives of his crew, before pulling his pots. His religious conviction keeps his crew focused on the task at hand; crab fishing. Though the quality of the crab they catch is mixed, The Lady Alaska is grateful for their bounty. After spending 6 hours in the search and rescue effort for the Big Valley, The Maverick's Captain Rick Quashnick took a big risk by setting his pots much farther south than the rest of the fleet. The Maverick's sacrifice during the rescue effort is repaid when Captain Rick's southern fishing ground produces full pots of crab...Good Fishing - It's the third day of the 2005 Opilio crab season on the Bering Sea. Unseasonably warm weather and calm seas have contributed to record catches for the fleet. Captain Sig Hansen and the crew of the Northwestern landed on the crab early and cranked through their gear at a feverish pace filling two of the boats three holds. The 92-foot Maverick also hit pay dirt right from the start. Skipper Rick Quashnick's decision to fish Southern waters pays off big and he fills his boat early enough to off load his tanks and go out for more. On the Retriever, it's not all smooth sailing. An Electrical fire breaks out in the engine room and everyone's safety is jeopardized. They shut down work and scramble to fix the problem so they can safely get back to fishing. As the fourth day of fishing gets under weigh, high numbers of crab throughout the fleet spur rumors of an early closure and every captain speculates on when the quota will be met.
