Captain Elliott’s Drug Addiction Causes Tension Between His Crew | Deadliest Catch 

I hope the captain overdoses is on the brink of death..perhaps that will open his eyes n correct his life..

Some of those old guys used a crap load of speed.probably forgot more about fishing than these losers.

You probably worked for an addict and didn't even know it

@@jonspear5411 Amen.

Straight into a iceberg cause Elliot's all nodded out

He really thought nobody could tell which is extra scary. F being on a boat with a captain like that.

Yeah ok, snitch.

People kill over snitching. Getting fired is getting off easy

This is an old episode. He’s been clean for years get your facts straight boss

@@AboveEmAllProduction yeah to the police. This isn't The Wire. It's a crab boat.

Yeah it's nasty... alcohol got me rn I need to just stop...it's not easy fk

this is years ago.... he got fired and is in jail last I heard for trafficking

HE NEEDS TO BE ON THE FN KARDASHIANS

Elliot got like 7 years in prison

@@easyandy_alife340 well hopefully that is his rock bottom and he gets his life back on track

@@easyandy_alife340 i see he got like 7 years Fed Time for selling dope and was caught with 160 grams of heroin. Hopefully that makes him see the brighter side of things

There are 3 outcomes: jail, death or get help.

I agree with you

As addicts, the first and last person we lie to is ourselves. Everyone else is just practice.

Same. I was a hod carrier I'd be 4 stories up packing mud and brick up and nodding out being on 10 Xanax on top of methadone. I got off the methadone, switched to suboxone and have still never beat the Xanax curse and I'm most likely gonna die. It sucks.

@@djentmaster33 them benzos are a tough one for sure. You can probably do it though with the right kind of help. What would work for you? I can't say for sure but I think it's possible. Good luck to you!

@@djentmaster33 you can do anything you want to do, you just have to want it bad enough.

@@djentmaster33 put your mind to it for only you. Do not think about what other ppl might think. In the end they can't help or hurt you. It's a core decision only you can do YOU. You can

@@djentmaster33 You sound like you've just resolved yourself to losing your life over something that is not essential for human survival. It's not like we talking about oxygen here. Sometimes it's the company you keep that leads you to continue on he wrong path. KEEP YOUR HEAD UP!!! Man or mouse?? Let's get it together. Maybe have someone manage your money, but that always leads to HUGE arguments. Millions of people have gave up their addiction. What's different about you????

old clip...6-8 years ago. He’s still fishing.

Absolute bottom is death, can't go lower than that and there is no help possible then. Best try catch our friends and family before they hit that absolute rock bottom.

@@nomaddamon670Have you seen anything recently about him? I read a short clip within the last year he got busted selling heroin to an undercover which lead to a warrant and was headed to jail for being a part of a bigger ring that got pinched. I’m not challenging your comment just curious if he is still around.

@@nomaddamon670 just read he was sentenced to 30 months in jail in may

Nowhere is a scary place left to go?

Lol EXACTLY

Damn I’m barely when the police was looking for him for child support and damn tell me why i knew he was on something

On and off season

You would think so

Shut up fed

Pedophilia?

Thought they were oats 😂but still lmao

Seems like ice cream is the number one food for junkies. My father who had a serious addiction to opiates would always eat ice cream. I couldn't tell you how many times I witnessed him nodding out while eating it or his face one inch from the bowl, shirt covered in ice cream stains.

@@bullock4211 lowkey i've had similar experiences w close friend but never connected the dots

@@rollaroyce747 Na that was some cookies and cream or chocolate chip lol.

This is old. He's probably dead or locked up by now.

@@stubone77 Nope. Still fishing.

It’s called a plot for a reason, other than a drug addicted captain this boat wouldn’t be very interesting for most people to watch on tv , they like the drama...

@@MrThatnativeguy It's also fake.

@@RollinTrollin that’s...exactly what I meant

Good for you dude. Congratulations

That's awesome you're recovering. Stay blessed friend 🙏🏻

Tylenol works better IMO unless you want to get high. It’s disgusting that DRs still push meds the way they do. Legal drug dealers.

@@TapeDeSpencer and then also they deny tons of people who actually need those types of meds and don't abuse them. It's crazy 💯

Gratz bro

Sounds about right

Fun fact: They’re only clean until they use again and that’s a guarantee.

​@@barbarossa1780I was addicted to dope for 15 yrs.. got clean. Started a family. Started and graduated Engineering school. And now probably pay more in taxes every paycheck than you make in a year. I also donate, volunteer in my community. So tell me what exactly makes you better than me..? I DARE you to answer

What drug was it?

​@@barbarossa1780Spoken like someone who has never EVER fought an addiction. I know so many people that would force those words back down your throat

He's in prison 🎉

@@radiofreeacab Buzzkill

says the guy named yellow percs lmao

Rigs? Which company?

@Big White you got me bro.. must be snorting some big white lines

Some people just make too much money.

@@brianreese8087 LOLL

he's in prison

He has already been sentenced for that. He is currently in federal prison.

lol right. the biggest distro ring. with an 8th of a k

He Did not lose anything he gave it away and now hes in prison

He’s in prison now

He’s in prison for dealing Heroin

Coffee, video games, even tea are all addictions as well... id say 99.9999% of americans are addicted to 1 thing or another

well aren't you so cool?

yea except this guy wasnt a crack head

It was heroin

Zero tolerance out at sea......not only putting his crew at risk, if the coast guard find any contraband on board they pull the vessel on drydock and sometimes take years to get it out.......broken by then.

@@thomasgroh3276 A sober fishing fleet?!!! 😂…. yeah that’s about likely as an honest Congress

@@themotorcyclemasswhole 🤡

This is a complete lie hahahahah why did you make a lie up like this you maniac hahahahah

Fck'em servers him right.

He gets out in two weeks!

Prison IS the help drug dealing junkies need 😂

Everything is way overagarated with a heroin addiction. Your just using to feel normal not to get high. An addict isn't gonna be falling asleep while he's at the wheel.

It’s weird, everyone is saying dope but he’s never noddin off and his eyes don’t seem glazed over. I’d be curious to know

Prob a stimulant

it is dope. aka H. when you have a tolerance and doing it a while its rare to nod out. now with fentanyl its possible. he just probably used 2-4 times a day.

He’s probably doing just enough to function normally

@@SteveMe21685 you were only seeing the parts where he was awake... he's disappear into his babin for long stretches at a time. Oxy/Heroin was the main drug up there at the time.

Drug addiction is fiction. That would explain why you think it’s different for different people.

Very true

@@bunk95 Don’t talk stupid.

for real dude? Did you get an autograph? That would have been so dope (no pun intended lolololol)

@@jonp5090 No, he was in another world and I am not a autograph kind of guy. Have you heard an update on him by chance?

This story is an obvious lie. You don’t blow 10’s of thousands on heroin on a binge

@C.C heroin is cheap. You would be dead.

@@Illumignostic it’s not hard to do I’ve gone on month long streaks and have blown just as much if not more but I inherited some money so it was easier for me than it is most users thank god I’m clean now.

that was an e-cig

@@robcostanza5500 😂😂

@@jasonrice9973 woooow he was smoking tobacco on camera? what a crazy guy

Your real bright

a lot of the crews are drug addicts too, they work for upwards of 48 hours straight in awful conditions and a lot of pain, and that's how they compensate

@@slappymcgillicuddy7532 You see this in pretty much all professions that require you to work long and hard hours. Pretty much every construction worker I know has done speed/coke at one point or another.

@@CookedOnions Kitchen's too. I've worked at a few restaurants and they all had drugs going around, even at like In-n-Out burger half the fry cooks were on tweak.

Only if you have a chemical imbalance. Like me! Lol

@Bacon Beggie the epic nonce of tomorrow go brush your teeth and your crumpets

welcome to life

@Bacon Beggie the epic nonce of tomorrow agreed but then again it depends on the job. Cocaine on Wall Street is a way of life. A celebrated one. They'd look at you funny if you ever brought up "addiction."

Addict is a fictional character dude.

He must’ve been though I’m in recovery and if he’s constantly going in and out of his room it must be because he’s chasing that high If it was heroin you’re usually good for a good few hours before you need another bump

@@nigel1823 probably a bit of both at this point, I’d imagine. It’s definitely Fent but there’s stimulants mixed in there as well imo.

Any energy and focus a stimulant lends you is paid for twofold on the back end... might work for a while but it inevitably falls apart. For some faster than others tho

@@mollywhoppedsouls_pvp yep. gotta pay to play.

It's probably speed tbh much cheaper and keep you awake for longer.

Keep going strong brother 💪

keep it up homie

Elliot's currently behind bars for selling heroin, so hopefully he'll get clean there, but I doubt it.

Drugs, women and gambling. I’ve seen lots of friendly bets being made on the show. 3 of my favorite things.

yeah this is way old

💯%... No question that was the case, or continued despite having found out

Not their job to tell someone else how to do theirs. The deckhands shouldn't have gone out in the first place.

Hes currently serving a sentence in prison. he'll be out this summer.

Why is that though? I've witnessed it first hand but I've never heard the reasoning behind it. Cheers

When you're addicted to opioids, your brain chemistry totally changes. Your brain actually re-wires itself. When you get high, you essentially trigger a heightened dopamine response in your opioid receptors. The more you use, the more your brain anticipates that next dopamine hit. You start to crave calorie-dense / sugar-rich food and drinks because they trigger a similarly heightened dopamine response as well. It's a horrible cycle, the more you use, the more sugar you crave (and vice versa). You get stuck in the loop and use more of both to achieve that dopamine rush over and over. @@finnmcginn9931

Opiates give you a crazy sweet tooth. It's what gave my addiction away because I was never into sweet things and then I just could not get enough sugar.

Yeah that never works even if it's only a few days. Tried it many times and did at least half of my dope even before I actually left for the few days and it's not the easiest thing to try and get something in another state when you don't know anyone lol.

this is pretty old

@@slappymcgillicuddy7532 that's what I thought. I wonder whatever happened to Elliott.
