Saga wasn’t Discovery’s first choice, however. The infamous boat, which has the honor of a Wikipedia page, apparently came with too much “red tape.” So now, Hillstrand fishes alongside Jake Anderson aboard his vessel, Saga. While Hillstrand is back for the Catch, he’s no longer Captain of the Time Bandit. “Captain’s shares, they’ll take ‘em from you if you don’t use them every couple of years, so I had to come back out,” he clarifies. So why not also film with Deadliest Catch and ensure his shares? In short: Hillstrand would still be out on the ocean anyway. In fact, it’s as old as any sort of fishing, as the work has existed long before laws and regulations.Īnother facet to his return, then, hinges on retaining a fishing quota known as “captain’s shares,” Stuff cites. Hillstrand knows illegal fishing isn’t anything new. ‘Deadliest Catch’ Captain Hillstrand: ‘Illegal fishing is a problem that has been ongoing for several years’ And Hillstrand can’t sit idly by and watch the profession – and ecosystem – be destroyed. But the Russians, he says, “They were doing all that” illegally. Hillstrand and his fellow Deadliest Catch crabbers don’t keep female crabs. “We try to keep it sustainable to where we can fish every year.” “They’re actually annihilating those crab stocks because they’re not managing it properly, making it sustainable like we do,” he states. And it all has to do with illegal Russian crabbing.
Or, at least, he does after talking about it out loud and giving it some hard thought. The good captain speaks with Parkes from Seattle, Washington amidst a hellish connection.īut Hillstrand does know why he came back.
“It (being at sea) felt like the longest 30 days.”īy comparison, “This 30 days at home doing isolation is a cakewalk” he says. “I don’t know,” Hillstrand replies after quite a bit of back and forth with Stuff Entertainment‘s Melenie Parkes.
