First Ever Crabber of The Week

So instead of having a Hump Day post, I've decided to change things up this week and do a little feature called "Crabber of the Week."

This feature is a chance to highlight some of the great things the men of Deadliest Catch do, or a chance to put the spotlight on a crabber who really went above and beyond during the latest episode.

This week, I chose Travis Lofland.

This past weekend, Travis participated in a High Heel Hike for Austism down in Sarasota, FL and also the Time Bandit Offshore Racing Team got second place in the offshore race! Congrats Travis, and thank you for all that you do to spread the awareness of Austism.

Anyone Want to Be Hillstranded with Me?

Ok, this week's Hump Day picture was a no-brainer. Andy Hillstrand? Damn right!

Thank you Mary Lou Petty for letting me use this pic! Love his smile!

And we learned something new about Captain Andy. He can sing!



I love his voice, and the lyrics to this song are amazing. Thank you Captain Andy for sharing this with us!

Hump Day!

There is nothing better than Hump Day. Especially a Hump Day after Catch Con! All those new pictures!

These come to us from Gretchen Fulmer. She was a woman with a mission, and she succeeded!

Gretchen, when I rotated this picture to the vertical position, I noticed where Fourtner's size 15 foot was. As I remember it from high school, isn't the lady's foot supposed to be in the man's lap? Not the other way around?
Remember, if you'd like to donate some of your pics from Catch Con to be included in future Hump Day posts, send me a message.

P.S. Please do not use Gretchen's pictures without asking her. Thank you

Hump Day!

I admit to almost forgetting about Hump Day. Gee, I need to get back into the game here! So here's one for all you Time Bandit Ladies, and don't forget! I take requests!

After It All...

Sorry for my absence. I just moved this past weekend and the last week of my life has gotten extremely hectic.

So for news...

The Northwestern's Twitter has been blowing up the last couple of days. Go by the website, great new videos are posted.

Tonight is an all new episode. From the previews, I'm going to start crying real soon.

http://dsc.discovery.com/videos/deadliest-catch-season6-episode10/

"A Coast Guard helicopter attempts a rescue in dangerous sea. The deck of the
Time Bandit becomes a deadly gauntlet of heavy, falling ice chunks while on the
Cornelia Marie, the skipper's son reveals a dark secret."

Time to sepculate. Is it Jake or Josh who has the secret? How dark do you think it's going to be? It could be anything from Jake not wanting to be on the CM anymore (he has said it before), to Josh revealing more of his past. Let me know what you think!

Also, After the Catch premires *happy dance!* afterwards. Tonight Episode is dedicated to the Time Bandit, which should be a blasty blast. Those boys know how to party, but can also buckle down and be serious if the situation warrents it.

"This hour focuses on the F/V Time Bandit and her salty crew. They tell it all,
from John and Keith's fight to who will take over the helm of this
legendary crab boat."

And can I just say how glad I am the Mike Rowe is back hosting After the Catch? Ben was great, but I think Mike has a better relationship with the captains and the crew.

Go catch some Crab!
