Emotional Crew Members All Hear Of Todd Kochutin's Passing I Deadliest Catch 

When he holds up the profile picture of the 3 of them, and he's the only one left alive.. that hits hard man

" I tell you what, he was a good hand." Sad that a lot of people in this world today don't know how big of a compliment that is. Rest In Peace Todd

I respect the film crews. They have jobs to record everything, but when the captain's & crew ask them to leave to process tragedy, they comply & give them the space they need. A lot of reality TV shows wouldn't do that. So props to the production folk & i'm sure it's hard for them to knowing these veterans & greenhorns that don't make it.

Man, when it was in fact Todd, my heart broke for Bill. To lose 3 of his guys within the span of like a year is absolutely devastating.

As an offshore fisherman myself, I can honestly say, there's nothing harder than these moments. I'm the only one of my original crew still on the water, most have passed on, and it never gets easier.

Man, Todd's obit says he was preceded in death by his parents, brother, and sister. That poor guy had a rough go. He didn't seem like a downer, though. Dude kept going. RIP.

RIP Todd. Bill has a hard shell, but you can tell that one the inside he´s got a sweet heart. You can really see how sad he gets over these losses, especially Nick who was like a son to him.

I never knew Todd, but if you can make a bunch of grown men cry...that tells me you were a good person.

My father was stationed at Dutch Harbor during the War. He was a flight engineer on a Catalina. Early June of 1942, his Cat was searching for the Japanese Fleet headed for Midway. They received word that Dutch Harbor was getting the duck bombed out of it. The Cats were ordered not to return. They were all on their own. Dad's crew voted to keep searching for the Japanese, even though they knew it meant ditching in the ocean. The very cold North Pacific. As they ran out of fuel, they radioed their final position. Being a sea plane, the Catalina landed on the water. However, it quickly foundered in the rough seas. All made it into a life raft. Three days later, fishermen from Dutch Harbor saved them. They all spent time in the hospital due to hypothermia. But when he got out, Dad got 30 Day's Survivor Leave. He went home and married Mom. What a generation. All thanks to the fishermen from Dutch Harbor. Thanks guys.

My heart sank with they had the coast guard stand down.

This show is so tough man, you really get attached to these guys and want to see them all succeed and make it back to port safe.. and alive. I’m still not over the loss of Captain Phil, and these never get any easier.

The saddest part is the crew he was with had to watch him literally die slowly and couldn't do anything to help. They said he said he was in extreme pain so he was alive for how ever long. Such a sad and horrible way to go. I feel so bad for this guy.

I can't even imagine the amount of pain Todd must have felt before succumbing to his injuries. I know it's super late but my prayers go out to his family and friends

Condolences to the sailor, the crew, friends, and his family.

After watching "The Perfect Storm", I have a much greater respect for fishermen and their families. R.I.P

I love the brotherhood amongst them all. Jake saying he doesn’t know if he could fish again if he lost one of his crew hits hard. These guys can fight and are rough on each other but they love each other like family.

Man I haven't seen this show in 7-8 years....didn't know it was still on....man such going memories back in the day. All the guys look so much older, glad it's still running.

Condolences to his family friends and the crew, RIP Todd

If anyone complains about the price of crab on their plate,watch this,and pay the feckin money! 😔😔😔❤️

Miss the voice of mike Rowe . These guys are legendary for this way to make a living .

When the stand down came over the radio my heart sank. RIP Todd. Love to those who knew him.

The call to “Stand Down” must be the hardest call to make, and to follow. You know it’s a lost cause, you just don’t want to give up. RIP Todd. May you find calm winds and fair seas

as chopper pilot I got so much respect for these guys and the coast guard

Man the summer bay crew has had more than anyone should have to take. My heart truly goes out to especially Landon and Bill.

Such a humbling line of work…I have nothing but respect for these guys.

🙏🙏🙏 Heartfelt condolences to all his family and friends..

That about had me crying, Bill and Landon went through so much during the season. The bond and emotions they must share is unimaginable.

Condolences to Todd's Family, close Friends & Work Buddys are sent from SW-Germany. May he rest in peace

May you forever R.I.P Todd. My deepest sympathies to your family and friends. I know that crab fishing is by far considered one of the absolute most dangerous jobs in the world. You will certainly be sorely missed

I always thought Bill was a harsh dude to his crew. I hate saying it this way but when he found out that kid died you could see he wanted to cry. He realy liked that kid. I haven't been watching the show lately so I don't know him. RIP.

Damn. If there is a silver lining it is that he died doing something he truly loved. Rest in peace Todd, keep watch over the rest.

Fair winds and Following Seas, Todd. RIP. We have the watch now. From a Navy Veteran.

Prayers and my deepest condolences to Todd's family and to his fishing family as well. Fly high with the Angels Todd 🕊

Very sad to hear that Todd was killed while crabbing in the Alaskan waters. My heart goes out to all his family and friends, and all those who have sailed the cold waters of Alaska with him. The description of the series, “ Deadliest Catch “, really comes home when someone actually loses their life aboard one of these vessels. Yes, Alaskan crabbing is very dangerous work.

This is what a TRUE “reality show” is. Not that garbage everyone binge watches on Bravo & E! Channel. This show is real life, true human beings, unscripted. And The Discovery Channel gets a lot of credit for producing the show with such cinematically artistry. They made me feel like Im part of the Deadliest Catch family. This is one of THE BEST SHOWS ON TELEVISION.

I think everyone can learn from the bond between fisherman that are only acquaintances or even strangers, but are still in it together

Man. Speechless. May those gone watch over you and guide you through the worst storm.

These crews become closer than family. How can you not bond while on such dangerous and perilous missions? RIP Todd 🕊️

Not a dry eye here…no words except gutted 😭 Love hugs and prayers to his family 🙏🏻💙

Tough year for bill and almost capsizing is the cherry on top that’s not needed. Sad season of Deadliest Catch

Man...what an absolutely gut-wrenching update. I could feel the emotions, and even I got a little emotional just typing this comment. I am so sorry for not just the crabbing community, but also Todd's family and all of his friends and colleagues. My thoughts and prayers go out to every single one of them. Rest in peace, Todd!

They come across as hard men which they most certainly are! But when they earn the respect of each other they become brothers a bond that is so strong ! My heart goes out to his family and brothers left behind !

I feel so bad for Bill and Landon. Prayers out to them both and to the families of Todd and Nick.

Ole Bill may have been a hard ass in the past but you can truly tell what a big heart he has! So very sad for the whole fleet! R.I.P Todd & Nick

Very sorry to hear this. Condolences to Todd’s family and friends.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Todd, his family, and his friends.

Absolute respect to everyone of you guys whole different breed of men and the job they do

Big Bill man, you had a rough year. God bless you and keep you all safe, always. Most heartfelt condolences to Todd’s family and friends 🙏🙏🙏

I cried when this episode aired and I’m crying now. These boys put their lives at risk every time they go out. You all will be in my prayer thru king crab and opies Caroline in the uk.

First Nick now Todd Bill and crew have had it tough I'm sure they'll carry on in their name. RIP TO BOTH

My condolences to his friends and family. So sad. My heart goes out to all of them.😭

Rest easy brother. These are some of the bravest hard working Men on this planet. God bless them all.

One of the few shows where the camera men show respect well from few clips I’ve seen

Prayers and condolences to his family and all his friends. I’m so sorry for your loss. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Having watched so many seasons it still hits home every time.

Been watching this show since day one...every time they lose someone its like losing a brother and now with mandy, a sister. Heartfelt love sent to all our fisherman...they risk their lives to provide for their families and to supply us with some of the best seafood that can be found!! Thank You to them all!!

Awwwww 😢 My deepest condolences to Todd's family and friends both blood and crew members. Healing blessings to all!! 🙏💜

I hope you get plenty of rest, Todd..be sure to get the biggest catch out there. We're rootin for ya.

Damn. Sorry to hear this. Condolences to the family and his friends….

I don't know these men, but it should hurt all humanity when even one is killed in the pursuit of sustenance for people he doesn't even know.

My heart and prayers go out to Todd's family, loved ones, and friends. So many lose their lives every year, even one is too many. I have been watching the series since the very first episode, so they all feel like family to me, love them all. Cry like a baby every time something happens to one of them. God bless and protect them all.

To the family and friends of the lost or passed away people, you all are in our prayers and our hearts. I can't imagine how hard and difficult this is. I lost my parents to illness and was devastating. I am so sorry you have to have this as part of life. Life is so precious and it seems to short, far too short at times. God Bless you all and know he loves you all.

RIP Todd. My thoughts are with everyone out there fishing. It’s a sad day to loose another fisherman.

It's crazy how strangers can be affected so much by a death of somebody on tv. 😢 Rip Todd... good dude right there!

I have ultimate respect for all of you risking your lives. I hope ALL the people of Alaska come together to remember Tod, Nick & Phil & all the other people lost to posiden RIP TO ALL. FOREVER LOVED AND REMEMBERED NEVER TO BE FORGOTTEN😭🥺😩

Well I'm crying. My deepest and sincere sympathy for all who knew him. Rest in Peace Todd...

That’s absolutely heartbreaking they have so much devastation on that boat. It absolutely breaks my heart that three men that held a big part of the show from one boat is all gone. RIP For all that is lost on any boat. Especially the way Todd was taken.
