As an owner of a construction company I've had the misfortune of working with more clowns like these than I care to remember, the funny thing about them is, they don't show up or answer their phones when its business time but when it's time to fight and argue they're there like flies on shit.
Geo my old man owns a small concrete business too, work is plentiful but it’s always the universal issue of labour being absolute shit, guys who don’t wanna work or learn the job the right way, just plain not showing up for big pours, etc.
Yeah i was concerned at first. Jake saying his crew can't have a drink while in port..... not very captain like, especially if your guys work hard plus he used to be smoking/shooting dope while operating a boat.... but he got it done. His boat his rules. More power to him.
@@thegeneral3094 Yeah you could tell he's weak the way he took care of business by meeting his quota in a mere 12 hrs after getting the dead weight off his money maker . Funny how their phones worked after finding out weak one showed who's boss of that vessel and collected a check isn't it ? He was real weak taking it to the bank for future use rather than playing adult babysitter . So weak .
The captains and I suppose leaders in general that I respect the most are the ones that went through the same rough shit his subordinates go through. This captain I can tell started at the bottom too thus he knows how to work the ship.

@@66littlejimmy I was so confused what the fuck the point of your comment was then read your name and realized it was a wholesome ass comment, good on ya.
Jake’s been given a lot of shit by fans of the show over the years on how he’s captained his boat. But this move he just made to fire those guys on the spot shows how far he’s come. Not as easy a decision as you would think to fire your whole crew and he did it. Nothing but respect for Jake.
he made the right move they got drunk and Jake told them no beer and still they pull this stunt and don't show up at castoff. You drink you get marooned thats the law.
These guys are they're there to work and not to party. Get the job done then go party. It's about priorities people not personal things that everyone needs to endure.
"How dare he put his hands on my belongings." Your belongings were on his boat, he had every right to throw it in the trash but he did the right thing and put it all in a safe place. Those drunkards are clowns.
Crew members should know that it's not THEIR stuff. If it's on the captain's boat, it's HIS stuff and if they go out drinking or be complete fucktards to each other, the captain has the authority and right to pack up their shit and throw them on the pier or leave them in a hotel lobby. The captain has jurisdiction over his crew. It's HIS boat.
If a crew member threatens to beat, of all people, a captain's ass, he'll find himself never working in the crab industry again. Word of mouth travels extremely fast among crabbers.
@@MikeyB9282 He can give it big in the wheelhouse about Capt this, and my way that. Those 5 guys below you will see right thru any inadequecy or "getting a load on". Last time i watched it, re-runs, his crew had gone to town and missed sailing. He fired them all and had the police on the quay for when they returned for their gear.
And technically, because they are there... They're doing their jobs. lol (oh look at that, all 3 "there's" used correctly as well, I don't get to do that very often)
As an alcoholic in recovery, I can only say this: If I ever had one virtue as a drunk, it was that I never blamed alcohol for eff'ing up. If I took that first drink, I took responsibility for every that happened afterwards. I still do take responsibility. It's just a lot easier and cheaper now that I'm not drinking.
@S Ri Only to an extent. What happens when you're drunk is that you start talking about how **you** feel. Sometimes that's truth, but an awful lot of the time your 'truth' is just your hurt feelings. And being drunk makes it harder for you to explain yourself. You just end up babbling.
Agreed, the last step especially. Had he left his gutted crew to do the job themselves it would have caused some serious bad feelings. By showing his willingness to roll up his sleeves and pick up the slack his decision created (no matter how needed the choice was) he told his remaining crew, "Im here, im not going to dump a mountain of carp on you from a great height then watch you struggle, im here to help carry the burden."
M.T. McLaughlin if you quit drinking and blame backsliding on anything but you... you either drink or don’t. He shitcanned them because they were direspectfrul, it’s that simple.
@@jeffmalm9708 Its his boat, he can hire and fire at will. If you tell your crew, no drinking, it maybe because jake doesnt want another jake (harris) on his boat. Either way, you telling me what to think, go fuck off, you must be a drunk.
Mad respect for Jake, he had a tough life struggled with addiction and beat it. Not many captains would go out on the deck and work but he has multiple times 👍🏼
Jake clearly hasn't beaten his addiction. He is still very much addicted hence he has to make sure anyone around him is absolutely sober. He is requiring his crew to remain sober even when off the clock.. because.. Jake thinks he owns them. " Not many captains would go out on the deck and work but he has multiple times " He does this because he is a control freak and it is not done as a kind gesture. Usually it is done out of spite.
"We were fired for going out and having a couple drinks". No you didn't. Alcoholism and drug addiction rates are extremely high in the commercial fishing industry. You went out and got wasted, and now you're pissed about getting fired.
Agu Obiakor im a civil engineer lol I also have my NREMT certification and CDL. Oh yeah, I also worked on my uncles ranch till I was 20 Lol Name a job, ive done it or done something similar. Drinking on the job and not following orders from the captain are great ways to get canned And im supposed to feel bad? Nah, dont be a fuck up
I'm an Engineer on a tug, We had a similar situation, I was sitting in the Galley and the Captain came down from the Wheelhouse with the roll of Trashbags and told me to start packing everyone's shit but mine and his.
@@tewaewae I've been at the same company for 7 years now, Been in the Maritime Industry for 10, Started working on Ships but decides Tugs were a lot easier and you're home more often, A week on/Week off schedule beats 120 days on 60 days off.
Wonder why they were fired? Was it because they were also late coming back, and once they did, he found out they were drinking, or was it for something else?
I was wrong about Jake. I never saw this episode and always wondered how he had new deck hands. Jake has truly stepped up as Captain. It's good to see this. If you ever read this Jake, keep up doing what you do. That's serious motivation for those watching you. I'm proud of you man.
Chris Kibodeaux because he fired them for their drinking. A lot of employers have zero tolerance for drinking on the job or coming to work after consuming alcohol.
What endears Jake Anderson to me even more is that he not only recognizes his past mistakes, he doesn't make excuses for them and he doesn't try to blame others for them either. Then even though Sig had doubts about him, Jake proved him wrong then still goes around crediting Sig for being a part of his success. He still calls Sig his mentor up to this day. It's heartwarming to see how far those two have come.
Jake did a boss move he warned them he gave them the strips, Sig warned them, Bill warned them, Josh and Casey warned them, and Johnathan and Andy warned them you don't bring drugs or beer onboard. Trident has a strict policy anyone caught with drugs or beer on the boat will be marooned at the closest port, sent to jail, and deported to the Lower 48 and sent to federal prison. Jake did the right call he does not need to deal with those freeloaders. He brought those guys there to fish and what does Jamie, Kenny, Banjo, and the rest of the crew do? They squander their pay the moment the boat is unloaded and go to the Dutch Bar and get drunk! Jake told them No Beer! and still they do this time to dump those clowns and have them sent back to the Lower 48.
That’s a leader right there. I own an automotive shop and usually have 3 mechanics and a service writer. I was down to just myself after I caught my guy stealing and fired two more that were apparently his cronies. Then the last guy couldn’t handle the pressure so he folded. I held the fort for 3 weeks then found a bass ass lead tech, hired on a hood service manager and then another tech then found a hood porter and we are back up to snuff. Sitting here at the beach writing this and having a mid day burger and beer as I reflect. Best move I made in my 15 year history with my shop
@@shustyrackleford_710 lol I didn't realize I spelled it wrong...my college education didn't kick in the day I made the comment. Thanks for the correction.
says the man who sent 3/4 of the Saga crew to the bar to get drunk. You drink you get marooned Jake warned them he told those clowns Saga is dry no beer they did not listen so they are being kicked off.
@@geomodelrailroader He sent them to have dinner. It was THEIR decision to get drunk afterwards. That's something I've noticed about people viewing this. It was their decision to disobey orders. They knew he didn't want them drinking, but they did it anyways, causing them to miss curfew, and inevitably, get fired, and rightfully so.
@@JohnRitchiejd23 I was not talking about Jake I was talking about Kenny his deck boss. Jake fired him because he took 3/4s of the crew with Jamie and went to the bar and got drunk. Jake told them go to the shop get the parts for the gearbox and then have dinner and come back. They went to the bar and got drunk when Jake told them no for a previous stunt. Because of it Jake fired them. You don't drink on a boat it is illegal.
I thought that was the captain going on a full power trip and insecure that no one respects him. He acts like a guy breaking up with a girl just cause he assumes she's attracted to her male friends.
@@fritzjackson4336 Easy to tell who's never been in a leadership position isn't it? Oh, sorry - I meant YOU clearly have never been, as I'm sure that went over your ignorant head.

He's absolutely correct anywhere and everywhere I've worked if there was a drunken coworker there was always problems that is a highly dangerous job and it should not be tolerated
Imagine saying you’re going beat him up then when the police are there he’s all like I’m the one being violated he touched my stuff like really dude grow up and do your job
The police officer was doing his job, he was doing it to protect the captain if anything went down when the crew went to grab the rest of their stuff off the boat
@@jquest43 If anyone failed at doing their job, it's Banjo. He was told to not have any drinks, and be back by a certain time. He failed in both endeavors, and lost his job as a result.
Jake warned them, Bill warned them, Sig warned them, Keith warned them, and Jr. and Josh and Casey warned them If you are intoxicated, if you are smoking dope, or if you get caught drinking and you come up brown on a urine or smear test you don't belong on a boat. Elliot lost his boat because he smoked Crack and he was doing it and Meth on the Saga Coast Guard ordered him back to port and Saga got impounded Jake got it out and Cornelia Marie ended up on the auction block after Jake Harris was caught with Weed on the boat causing Darrick Lane of the Trailblazer to lose his license and the Cornelia Marie to be sold on the auction block. Josh bought it back and Casey helped him and they plan to keep it drug free. After incidents on Rambling Rose, Saga, Cornelia Marie, and the Wizard Trident and the Coast Guard imposed a strict No Drugs or Alcohol policy if any drugs or alcohol are found that person is off the boat, if they don't show up for work automatic termination, and if the drug test or the smear test comes up brown they don't belong on the boat. Although Dutch has a bar it is illegal to have alcohol here the Aleutians and Alaska are on an Indian reservation and drugs and alcohol are not allowed.
I knew from the first time I saw Jake on the show that he had strong integrity and a deep sense of honor woven into his character. He's never proved me wrong.
"The worst skipper ever..." As he fires crew for being drunk bums, then proceeds to get out on deck to finish the job they didn't bother showing up for. The irony of it all... Oh, and he is a former drug addict that kicked his awful habit. So he should be respected! #JusSayin
@@craigmercer6846 Fair enough, there is always 3 sides to a story. However that still doesn't make me respect the guy any less, for doing his crew's job, and also getting sober after being lost to drugs.
Jake is a hell of a captain. I’m so happy he took the offer after Elliot. I wish both of them well. I know how cruel and strong addiction is. I myself am 24 days clean by the grace of god. Recovering from 13 years of Heroin, pills , and chaos. I hope those 2 have a wonderful life ahead.
I’m also recovering from a cocaine addiction that has ruined my mental health and left me unable to hold down a job. God bless, hope everything works out for you
Hey, those are all a hell of a drug. For what it's worth, I'm proud of you and wish you strength on your journey. It's not easy, and there are gonna be some times that you think you need them, but you got this. Every day is a new day and a new beginning.
The first couple weeks are the worst, but if you can avoid the old associates and get away from it all for another few months you will by home free my man. You can keep this up if you stay focused on what is important.
That was awesome and it sends a message in such a small community. Jake doesn't mess around. I remember watching him on Sig's boat making some mistakes. But, he learned, grew up and now is making a good living. Props to him
Drinking had a hold on me lost many jobs. After I quit I started my own construction business and deal with these type of people everyday. yet I was no better in the past. My prayers are with the suffering Alcoholic or Drug addict may you find peace.
It means in the end you give them the extra chance to put their shit right, if they blow the extra then you gotta do what you gotta do. Good on you for sorting your shit out and becoming successful mate!
@Thomas Henesey I didn't say you're a drunk........and you're right, hangovers suck and DUI's are costly. I was just playing, props to you for not getting your panties in a bunch. People nowadays get upset over everything, thanks for being a good sport. Be well in 2020 ;-)
That worked out REALLY well for Jake. He's been a continually impressive character on this show. I completely agree with him firing those guys, they come aboard thinking the Captain is their buddy and they can get away with whatever they want, and now it's not only them that have learned a lesson, it's anyone else who might come work for Jake. He's set the example and shown that he has his priorities straight. I've seen Captains throw everything away and I've seen Jake work his way up from nothing and he has been the most steadily improved on the show, by far.
I will always LOVE Deadliest Catch, and I know that this is from the UK Discovery Channel, but it hit me hard as soon as I clicked play when the narrator was NOT Mike Rowe. That dude's voice is so perfect for this show that it just hit me hard.
I remember watching this guy grow up on a boat while I was in middle school. He's the same man he ever was and stuck to his guns. He's a captain and an inspiration. It would be an honor to work for him.
I was crewmember on a sail taining ship as a young man and i was late for the departure. Only two minutes. They were driving away from the berth. I think the distance was about 3 meters or so. So i ran as fast as i could and jumped towards the boat. Crawling on the deck with my last powers. The skipper looked at me and said: Last chance. I learned so much from it and helped me to be responsible in my life. Today i am the skipper of a small sailing vessel and when its time to leave we're going. That's how it works. Greetings from germany and fair winds.
I'm glad things worked out for Jake. He took a proactive stand against the three individuals who obviously couldn't careless about their jobs. Jake didn't stop there and demonstrated great leadership and determination in hauling in his remaining traps. Good things happen to good people.
Jake made the right call, he made his call stood by it even though it would cause him problems going back out, He then rolled up his sleeves got out on deck and done the job of the 3 men he just fired. True leader and no doubt will be an inspiration to up and coming captains in future. A real case of working for what you got 👏👏👏
LOL when my husband was active duty the Navy encouraged drinking. It was go to a party at the club or work. Guess what the men did . Went to the club. My husband retired in 07 so I dont know when this changed....
I remember when Jake was a greenhorn deckhand. He didnt know shit but he shut his mouth. Listened and worked his ass off. Absolute respect for him. You get things in life by earning them. Pretty simple. Proud of you bro !
I am very proud of Jake Anderson and the MAN he has become. Yes he still has learning to do but so do all the other capts ...they never stop learning. Jake is a real good guy who cares alot about his boat and crew and those "friends" screwed themselves
One of the best leader moves in a position of authority. On any job. I was in Marine Corps and now I'm in law enforcement for over 20 years. My respects to make on this decision and then lead by action.
I love how upset they were for being wrong and getting punished for it...these types of people never surprise me. For them, it's ALWAYS some body else's fault.
Jake inspired me to move to Alaska and go commercial fishing. 10 Years Later. He's become a great dude and awesome Captain. Im proud of Him for staying straight and doing well.
Wow. Good for you guy. As a kid, when my parents divorced I was moved from Baltimore MD, to Sayward, Vancouver Island... My mom wasn't doing so well in those days , so I'd just get up and go to the docks. The men on the docks knew the deal, they'd always give me a salmon to take home to my mom if I didn't catch anything. Eventually they took me out on the boats. It was mainly Halibut fishing back then, we considered cod to be chum, and just chucked em back in the water. As a 9 year old, I thought it was awesome doing day fishing, but I learned it is hard, hard work and the sea is deadly. Happy fishing.
Good on that young skipper for taking action. Those crew members were taking advantage of him, and they got wild when he finally called bullshit on their behaviour.
Drinking and missing out time is one thing. Threatening your boss and/or ex-boss with violence, is another. It's called assault. Any man willing to physically harm someone when said person isn't trying to harm them, is childish AF.
The Captain carrys the ultimate responsibly for the Boat and the crew. Either the crew obeys his orders or they are tossed off the boat. Good thing this mutiny happened in Port and not in the middle of the Ocean.

03:30 I love how he is saying the officers need to do their job, yet they are there because he wasn't doing his, and got fired. lol
Amen XD
Exactly!!
😂😂😂 right?
And technically, because they are there... They're doing their jobs. lol
(oh look at that, all 3 "there's" used correctly as well, I don't get to do that very often)
I’m guessing that Banjo has had plenty of run ins with the law….he’s been playing that tune for years 🤣
As an alcoholic in recovery, I can only say this: If I ever had one virtue as a drunk, it was that I never blamed alcohol for eff'ing up. If I took that first drink, I took responsibility for every that happened afterwards.
I still do take responsibility. It's just a lot easier and cheaper now that I'm not drinking.
Some alcoholics do blame the alcohol for their actions.. dosent make it any better tho
@@dc4lcorkscrewpatdaGIGA Sure, but alcohol is an object. It requires human will or carelessness to effect a person or a family.
@@carlhicksjr8401 true I agree .. drinking is just a convenient excuse for some people to do dumb stuff
@S Ri Only to an extent. What happens when you're drunk is that you start talking about how **you** feel. Sometimes that's truth, but an awful lot of the time your 'truth' is just your hurt feelings. And being drunk makes it harder for you to explain yourself. You just end up babbling.
Hope you're still sober and going strong
The captain made the right call, stuck to his guns, and then got his hands dirty working on the deck. That’s a leader
Agreed, the last step especially. Had he left his gutted crew to do the job themselves it would have caused some serious bad feelings. By showing his willingness to roll up his sleeves and pick up the slack his decision created (no matter how needed the choice was) he told his remaining crew, "Im here, im not going to dump a mountain of carp on you from a great height then watch you struggle, im here to help carry the burden."
Jake is a recovering AA, so i applaud his actions. Others that drink around him, could cause temptation. He made the right move, call the cops.
M.T. McLaughlin if you quit drinking and blame backsliding on anything but you... you either drink or don’t. He shitcanned them because they were direspectfrul, it’s that simple.
@@jeffmalm9708 Its his boat, he can hire and fire at will. If you tell your crew, no drinking, it maybe because jake doesnt want another jake (harris) on his boat. Either way, you telling me what to think, go fuck off, you must be a drunk.
@Jesus Christ your IQ?
@Chuck maybe, but it is his boat. And if you considered him weak, you have never struggled with addiction.
@Chuck get a clue. Better, a brain. You are a person who drinks while you work huh? Chucky, his boat, his decision. Get a life dude.
Mad respect for Jake, he had a tough life struggled with addiction and beat it. Not many captains would go out on the deck and work but he has multiple times 👍🏼
Look at his face...he hasn't beat anything.
@@DaveDuncanMusic right 😂 eyes are pinshot as can be
@@DaveDuncanMusic huh?
@@NovaSixx huh?
Jake clearly hasn't beaten his addiction.
He is still very much addicted hence he has to make sure anyone around him is absolutely sober.
He is requiring his crew to remain sober even when off the clock.. because.. Jake thinks he owns them.
" Not many captains would go out on the deck and work but he has multiple times " He does this because he is a control freak and it is not done as a kind gesture. Usually it is done out of spite.
The way he ask "How do you know that we've been drinking" is just the funniest ever! :D I bet that officer was crying out inside :D
"We were fired for going out and having a couple drinks". No you didn't. Alcoholism and drug addiction rates are extremely high in the commercial fishing industry. You went out and got wasted, and now you're pissed about getting fired.
David Johnson you get drunk at any job you’ll get canned! And they had the nerve to threaten him! I cant stand entitlement! Good for him
I dont know no fisherman who doesnt drink.
Pathetic captain who doesnt know what comradery means
Agu Obiakor lol are you one of them that got canned?
@@JLAShazam Ever been working class?
Agu Obiakor im a civil engineer lol
I also have my NREMT certification and CDL. Oh yeah, I also worked on my uncles ranch till I was 20 Lol
Name a job, ive done it or done something similar.
Drinking on the job and not following orders from the captain are great ways to get canned
And im supposed to feel bad? Nah, dont be a fuck up
I'm an Engineer on a tug, We had a similar situation, I was sitting in the Galley and the Captain came down from the Wheelhouse with the roll of Trashbags and told me to start packing everyone's shit but mine and his.
how long were you tugging? sounds like my kind of job, I mean I do it for free almost everyday.

I've been at the same company for 7 years now, Been in the Maritime Industry for 10,
Started working on Ships but decides Tugs were a lot easier and you're home more often, A week on/Week off schedule beats 120 days on 60 days off.
Wonder why they were fired? Was it because they were also late coming back, and once they did, he found out they were drinking, or was it for something else?
@@JohnRitchiejd23 they delayed departure time which would already be a big no no...then found out they're all plastered on top of it.
@@Danwheeler. Yeah. That's what I figured. Lot of similarities between your story and Jake's.
"How do you know we were drinking?" fired employee belligerently asks and he wobbles back and forth. Hummm, Really??
Tormented Soul it’s so funny though because he also said earlier “I guess we fired, because we had a few drinks” like wtf Hahahahah 😂😂😂😂
I was wrong about Jake. I never saw this episode and always wondered how he had new deck hands. Jake has truly stepped up as Captain. It's good to see this. If you ever read this Jake, keep up doing what you do. That's serious motivation for those watching you. I'm proud of you man.
Hats off to Jake. He's been through alot and has really matured into a respectable leader.
Chris Kibodeaux the workers weren’t doing what he told them. He isn’t a morn for making a decision that was best for him.
I remember when he joined the northwestern he was just another green horn
Chris Kibodeaux because he fired them for their drinking. A lot of employers have zero tolerance for drinking on the job or coming to work after consuming alcohol.
@Chris Kibodeaux why cause they lost him precious time on the short season
Jake made the right call I worked as a shift supervisor at a thrift store if someone does not show up they get fired thats the rules.
What endears Jake Anderson to me even more is that he not only recognizes his past mistakes, he doesn't make excuses for them and he doesn't try to blame others for them either. Then even though Sig had doubts about him, Jake proved him wrong then still goes around crediting Sig for being a part of his success. He still calls Sig his mentor up to this day. It's heartwarming to see how far those two have come.
Jake did a boss move he warned them he gave them the strips, Sig warned them, Bill warned them, Josh and Casey warned them, and Johnathan and Andy warned them you don't bring drugs or beer onboard. Trident has a strict policy anyone caught with drugs or beer on the boat will be marooned at the closest port, sent to jail, and deported to the Lower 48 and sent to federal prison. Jake did the right call he does not need to deal with those freeloaders. He brought those guys there to fish and what does Jamie, Kenny, Banjo, and the rest of the crew do? They squander their pay the moment the boat is unloaded and go to the Dutch Bar and get drunk! Jake told them No Beer! and still they do this time to dump those clowns and have them sent back to the Lower 48.
Jake and Sean are an awesome team. They really are there for each other when the chips are down
Sean carried jake that whole trip
2 captain cc-op duos I've always enjoyed: Jake and Sean, Jonathan and Keith..
That’s a leader right there. I own an automotive shop and usually have 3 mechanics and a service writer. I was down to just myself after I caught my guy stealing and fired two more that were apparently his cronies. Then the last guy couldn’t handle the pressure so he folded. I held the fort for 3 weeks then found a bass ass lead tech, hired on a hood service manager and then another tech then found a hood porter and we are back up to snuff. Sitting here at the beach writing this and having a mid day burger and beer as I reflect. Best move I made in my 15 year history with my shop
Everything still good?
Good call Captain! Safety and respect are hugh priorities!
Huge....
@@shustyrackleford_710 lol I didn't realize I spelled it wrong...my college education didn't kick in the day I made the comment. Thanks for the correction.
Jake is 100% in the right. That was a boss move. The rule was no drinking and they didn't follow it.
Ballsy move. 200% respect.
"You're the worst skipper I've ever seen in my life, Jake."
"Thank you!"
Haha!
says the man who sent 3/4 of the Saga crew to the bar to get drunk. You drink you get marooned Jake warned them he told those clowns Saga is dry no beer they did not listen so they are being kicked off.
@@geomodelrailroader He sent them to have dinner. It was THEIR decision to get drunk afterwards. That's something I've noticed about people viewing this. It was their decision to disobey orders. They knew he didn't want them drinking, but they did it anyways, causing them to miss curfew, and inevitably, get fired, and rightfully so.
@@JohnRitchiejd23 Buddy, you're missunderstanding his points. That's literally what he was saying, that it was their own fault lmao.
@@Wargsy The reason I'm stating it is some people are apparently throwing shade on Jake, saying the crew did nothing wrong, when it's the inverse.
@@JohnRitchiejd23 I was not talking about Jake I was talking about Kenny his deck boss. Jake fired him because he took 3/4s of the crew with Jamie and went to the bar and got drunk. Jake told them go to the shop get the parts for the gearbox and then have dinner and come back. They went to the bar and got drunk when Jake told them no for a previous stunt. Because of it Jake fired them. You don't drink on a boat it is illegal.
The guy talking about "don't get on mah bad side!" Is just plain HILARIOUS, he's so adorable! Like a mad little puppy dog
I thought that was the captain going on a full power trip and insecure that no one respects him. He acts like a guy breaking up with a girl just cause he assumes she's attracted to her male friends.
@@fritzjackson4336 Easy to tell who's never been in a leadership position isn't it?
Oh, sorry - I meant YOU clearly have never been, as I'm sure that went over your ignorant head.

Jake looks like Charlie from its always sunny lmao

@@redstoyotarunnerwithstri-hp9gm RAW jellybeans lol
Jake is a cool guy and a hard worker. You can watch through the seasons as he progresses. Very impressive. Definitely captain material.
He's absolutely correct anywhere and everywhere I've worked if there was a drunken coworker there was always problems that is a highly dangerous job and it should not be tolerated
If I turned up to my job drunk I'd be fired on the spot
Especially if I turned up late after disobeying orders and drinking
Jake made the right call, no question.
Y'know, I remember when he first showed up on Deadliest Catch...he looks like he's aged 30 years since then. It's a hard life.
Like 40, they just smoke and drink coffee non stop and they drop dead before reaching retirement.

The police FAILED in doing their JOB!!- you heard it from BANJO FOO!!
The police officer was doing his job, he was doing it to protect the captain if anything went down when the crew went to grab the rest of their stuff off the boat
@@jquest43 If anyone failed at doing their job, it's Banjo. He was told to not have any drinks, and be back by a certain time. He failed in both endeavors, and lost his job as a result.
@@JohnRitchiejd23 But you know damn well hes the type of guy that will blame his job loss on the captain until the day he dies from liver failure
Jake, Sig, Jon and Phil are the absolute best man. Love these guys.
I hope those guys know how embarrassing this was for them.
Jake warned them, Bill warned them, Sig warned them, Keith warned them, and Jr. and Josh and Casey warned them If you are intoxicated, if you are smoking dope, or if you get caught drinking and you come up brown on a urine or smear test you don't belong on a boat. Elliot lost his boat because he smoked Crack and he was doing it and Meth on the Saga Coast Guard ordered him back to port and Saga got impounded Jake got it out and Cornelia Marie ended up on the auction block after Jake Harris was caught with Weed on the boat causing Darrick Lane of the Trailblazer to lose his license and the Cornelia Marie to be sold on the auction block. Josh bought it back and Casey helped him and they plan to keep it drug free. After incidents on Rambling Rose, Saga, Cornelia Marie, and the Wizard Trident and the Coast Guard imposed a strict No Drugs or Alcohol policy if any drugs or alcohol are found that person is off the boat, if they don't show up for work automatic termination, and if the drug test or the smear test comes up brown they don't belong on the boat. Although Dutch has a bar it is illegal to have alcohol here the Aleutians and Alaska are on an Indian reservation and drugs and alcohol are not allowed.

I knew from the first time I saw Jake on the show that he had strong integrity and a deep sense of honor woven into his character. He's never proved me wrong.
Props to Sean though for helping out
"The worst skipper ever..." As he fires crew for being drunk bums, then proceeds to get out on deck to finish the job they didn't bother showing up for. The irony of it all...
Oh, and he is a former drug addict that kicked his awful habit. So he should be respected! #JusSayin

@@craigmercer6846 Fair enough, there is always 3 sides to a story. However that still doesn't make me respect the guy any less, for doing his crew's job, and also getting sober after being lost to drugs.

Jake is a hell of a captain. I’m so happy he took the offer after Elliot. I wish both of them well. I know how cruel and strong addiction is. I myself am 24 days clean by the grace of god. Recovering from 13 years of Heroin, pills , and chaos. I hope those 2 have a wonderful life ahead.

That was awesome and it sends a message in such a small community. Jake doesn't mess around. I remember watching him on Sig's boat making some mistakes. But, he learned, grew up and now is making a good living. Props to him
Drinking had a hold on me lost many jobs. After I quit I started my own construction business and deal with these type of people everyday. yet I was no better in the past. My prayers are with the suffering Alcoholic or Drug addict may you find peace.

I think Jake is the best captain on the show. He didn't get his start with a dad who gave him a ship. He earned everything he has.
Wdym?
@@zslamic He means that Jake worked hard to get where he is now. His dad and others did a good job on training him.
Lot of RESPECT for Jake.

Nothing but Respect for this Guy.
Dear Captain, you have achieved so much. I remember watching you start, learn to be the man you are today. Never change, don't stop, be safe.
That worked out REALLY well for Jake.
He's been a continually impressive character on this show.
I completely agree with him firing those guys, they come aboard thinking the Captain is their buddy and they can get away with whatever they want, and now it's not only them that have learned a lesson, it's anyone else who might come work for Jake.
He's set the example and shown that he has his priorities straight.
I've seen Captains throw everything away and I've seen Jake work his way up from nothing and he has been the most steadily improved on the show, by far.
As a small business owner I feel his pain all too well. This world is soooo short of folks who give a shit and respect their employers
I will always LOVE Deadliest Catch, and I know that this is from the UK Discovery Channel, but it hit me hard as soon as I clicked play when the narrator was NOT Mike Rowe. That dude's voice is so perfect for this show that it just hit me hard.
We were cheering for Jake on this episode. He is a boss.
I remember watching this guy grow up on a boat while I was in middle school. He's the same man he ever was and stuck to his guns. He's a captain and an inspiration. It would be an honor to work for him.
I was crewmember on a sail taining ship as a young man and i was late for the departure. Only two minutes. They were driving away from the berth. I think the distance was about 3 meters or so. So i ran as fast as i could and jumped towards the boat. Crawling on the deck with my last powers. The skipper looked at me and said: Last chance. I learned so much from it and helped me to be responsible in my life. Today i am the skipper of a small sailing vessel and when its time to leave we're going. That's how it works. Greetings from germany and fair winds.
Jake actually did a really really good job. Best decision he could have made. They were liabilities
Yeah. Especially when handling dangerous machinery.
I haven't watched this show in around 8 years....good to see Jake is a Captain now...can't believe the show is still on
Wow I lost track of this show when Phil died years ago, nice to see Jake became a captain!
Jake really came a long way from his first introduction on the show. He had good mentors but he made it happen.
You have a problem is when told "do get dinner", means get hammered.
I'm glad things worked out for Jake. He took a proactive stand against the three individuals who obviously couldn't careless about their jobs. Jake didn't stop there and demonstrated great leadership and determination in hauling in his remaining traps. Good things happen to good people.
Jake protec
Jake attacc
Most importantly
Jake dont put up with ur crap
Christ what cringe
Best skipper I’ve ever seen. He made the right choice, if drunk crew members got on the boat the could die.
Mad respect man! YOU GET THOSE CRABS
Jake made the right call, he made his call stood by it even though it would cause him problems going back out, He then rolled up his sleeves got out on deck and done the job of the 3 men he just fired. True leader and no doubt will be an inspiration to up and coming captains in future. A real case of working for what you got 👏👏👏

Love how Jake handled this situasjon. He is probably the captain on this show with the best people and leader skills.
One of the best leader moves in a position of authority. On any job. I was in Marine Corps and now I'm in law enforcement for over 20 years. My respects to make on this decision and then lead by action.
That's why your the skipper Jake. Good for u. Don't respect the skipper don't get on the boat.
He did so well. Congrats, dude. You’re the best. 👏🏼
I love these two captains! They have heart and professional ethics.
Jake handled that so so so well. For a young guy, he handles his crew better then some of the older guys do.
Jake has sure grown up a lot since the first couple of seasons.
I love how upset they were for being wrong and getting punished for it...these types of people never surprise me. For them, it's ALWAYS some body else's fault.

@@UndoingRuin08 Cheers!
Jake inspired me to move to Alaska and go commercial fishing. 10 Years Later. He's become a great dude and awesome Captain. Im proud of Him for staying straight and doing well.
Where did you move from and how do/did you like it?
Wow. Good for you guy. As a kid, when my parents divorced I was moved from Baltimore MD, to Sayward, Vancouver Island... My mom wasn't doing so well in those days , so I'd just get up and go to the docks. The men on the docks knew the deal, they'd always give me a salmon to take home to my mom if I didn't catch anything. Eventually they took me out on the boats. It was mainly Halibut fishing back then, we considered cod to be chum, and just chucked em back in the water. As a 9 year old, I thought it was awesome doing day fishing, but I learned it is hard, hard work and the sea is deadly. Happy fishing.
"You're the worst skipper ever." Yeah, how dare he hold you responsible for your actions.
Good on that young skipper for taking action. Those crew members were taking advantage of him, and they got wild when he finally called bullshit on their behaviour.
Drinking and missing out time is one thing. Threatening your boss and/or ex-boss with violence, is another. It's called assault. Any man willing to physically harm someone when said person isn't trying to harm them, is childish AF.
"there are some things in life better than money.. thats friendship. and boy am i full of it right now"
yeah i think i interpreted that wrong LOL
you get more friends by firing half the crew right before making quota, like benjamins, grants and jacksons
The Captain carrys the ultimate responsibly for the Boat and the crew. Either the crew obeys his orders or they are tossed off the boat. Good thing this mutiny happened in Port and not in the middle of the Ocean.
