Entire Saga Crew Nearly Goes Overboard After Two GIGANTIC Rogue Waves | Deadliest Catch 

but he's right tho, what was he suppose to do?

and another "rogue" wave lol.. nah. It's actually a sign that you Nemo'd it right into a storm.

They need more lights, lights that can span across 20 to 50 feet from the ship, Safety is always the number 1 rule.

@@tomreid1342 The wave speed which watching this clip is about 2 seconds apart. 50 feet of light will probably gain you maybe a second. Do you really think 2-3 seconds is enough time for the skipper to process what he is seeing then make the PA call and them to get to safety?

Two at one time at that

“Slap” isn’t the word I would use, more like pure unadulterated hatred manifesting into a giant fist that is from anywhere from 30-100+ft

and also a deckhand at the mercy of the waves

You are supposed to steer into the waves there is many things you can and need to do..

@@coleschrader2611 Did you not see how they came out of nowhere? You can't control everything. Mother nature throws out you.

@@coleschrader2611Those waves came out of nowhere. That’s why they’re called rogue.

@@coleschrader2611 And the odds are slim that you can see them at night time. Really the only way to prevent it is to only sail in calm water at night, which I'm guessing may be a poor man's option.

You think the stupid captain would have a little common sense and shut it down greedy bastards

Facts!!! Dude might have a captain license but I don’t know about being a captain if ya dig

What was he supposed to do since you are all knowing? If you were in that position the same exact thing would have happened, do you know why? Because there is absolutely nothing you could do. Blaming a captain because of mother nature is ridiculous.

@@butter7734 The captain is supposed to be watching the waves while the crew are on deck. Be aware of the sea as its unpredictable. It you se a wall of water coming towards the deck, even if it doesn't look huge, you tell your guys, "Watch out." or "Head's Up." Sometimes they just get a splash, other times you get this. And need to not only be aware of the incoming waves, but where your guys are on deck and keep both a count of them and knowing both where they are, and where they might end up. If the weather becomes too bad and you can't predict when a wave will crash on deck, you call off work and get your crew inside to safety and jog around until the weather improves. If you watch other captains on this show like Cig, John, and even the late, great Phil, you will see experts manage these situations much better. The crew shouldn't have gotten as angry as they did, but that's mostly adrenaline.

But he actually DID what he was supposed to: adjust the trottle, and have the other guy on the cabin issue a warning over the speaker.

​​@@totrigo6834 the point is they shouldn't be in a situation that can cause that. Rogue waves happen they all know that, but the captain needs to make everyone aware of of it, even if it's dark a captain should be keeping vigilant. after it hit he didn't ask if everyone was alright he just made an excuse. It's not that the waves hit, it's that he didn't take responsibility. As captain, everything that happens is on him. Mother nature included, if they capsize because of a wave, then why the hell were they there. The answer is the captain

That's scary

Respect to u man *men

Ok but what was he supposed to do? It's pitch black outside and it's called a rouge wave for a reason

@@brutallegend1100 I understand that. Nothing he could have done to warn the guys I know. But his reaction is no good. He froze. The captain can't freeze up and not know what to do next

@@lnr12241 on the contrary. He cares for the crew and was worried, and sorry for what they went through. He want to give them a warning, but in that situation it was impossible. That makes him a good captain, not bad as you say

@@stigandrmyrardalur5208 never ever said he was a bad guy. When the person that is responsible for your life says " what am I supposed to do?" In panic mode, it's not a good thing

Or another line of work

It was a rogue wave both the captain and the relief captain didn’t see it till it was literally hitting the boat

YOU CANT GIVE A WARNING FOR SOMETHING YOU CANT SEE

I saw the video that you're talking about, but that was in calm waters.... But if anyone went overboard in this situation, there would be no way to recover them, as they would immediately disappear into the choppy sea!

@@k9spjack My point is the Captain's reactions. Whether seas are rough or calm, a man overboard is a fairly sure death sentence in the Bering Sea. A calm, collected and orderly captain, no matter the situation, is more helpful and beneficial to the situation than one who panics and yells "What am I supposed to do?" to a young man on his first voyage as a co-captain.

You saying he almost killed them. Its a rogue wave. Nothing he could of done.

That's true

They do now after the sinking of one of the ships they have to have a tracker on them. not sure about the lights but I watched a doc about the boat that sank and that became a law

Think about it 🤔

You can't work in a survival suit,,their not snowboarding.

I have a strobe light on my vest incase I go over and can turn it on. Can see it from miles. You could wear a 1mm wetsuit under your gear or something thinner incase you go over to keep you warm for a little. Might overheat working in it but worth a try

ITS a Rogue wave you can't controll that....The Captain said it would have been the end of his career, but there is nothing that could have been done

@@stephenfgdl It appears we haven't seen him on the show since. You really think the producers on the show want to put their people in harms way with a inept captain? The insurance company lawyers would have a field day.

@@rnews5750 There are a ton of captains we have not seen a return on the show, doesn't mean they aren't working... Harms way??? Thats what they singed up for, they are in the freeking bering sea, they know they could not come back, why do you think they make so much money, that cruise can be your last. You want safety, stay in your house and work f from home! It's the equivalent of signing up in the army and thinking you will never go into battle, you hope it doesn't happen , but that's literally the job description

@@stephenfgdl You're preaching to the choir. The end result Jake is now the captain of the Saga where safety is constantly on his mind.

@@rnews5750 that wasn't the end result, that was the relief Captain..... Jake was already the Captain in that cruise! He was there to help Jake lol, he became Captain of the Saga in 2015... this episode is from 2015, lol

Yeah its an old clip

From 2015

Old clip, season 11, 2005. saga still had blue and yellow colors instead of the black and white.

@@bkill12ert34 2015

I think it was/is one co-captian or owners before Jake got full captain of the boat his first trip.

@@bkill12ert34 appreciate the info, thank you man

Because no one is crazy enough to go fishing out in the Bering Sea.

Its a case of emotions running high especially after they all knew they all came close to dying.

You ever work on a commercial fishing boat DeAnn? I haven’t. But I also don’t really get the sense you have either. Am I wrong?

@@steventhompson8769 Yes, I have. I was raised in a family of commercial fisherman, and also worked as a deckhand. I do not believe you are one to speak on common sense. As you are SEVERELY lacking!!!

@@deannyeltatzie7759 Common sense isn’t this issue here, it’s your lack of listening skills. Next time, get the Captain’s quote correct when you try to grandstand so you don’t look like a fool. Attention to detail, more importantly a lack thereof, can get people killed on the sea. You’ve shown you wouldn’t have done any better and most likely why deckhand was your highest rank, Miss Plan B-G. Attention to detail. 😉

@@deannyeltatzie7759 Lol good luck with that mutiny of yours

@@AGH69 😘

Are you mentally, emotionally, physically, spiritually, prepared/strong! If not, do not waste these captains time! You will be beat down, in possibly every way, if you do not follow orders with those above you, who most likely have had YEARS of experience.

My buddy got a fishing job straight out of high school to go do this in Alaska, He said yes its hard work but just do your job and dont bring the team down, Simple as

Oh is he supposed to become Poseidon? How tf is he supposed to know what's coming?

In pitch black?

Agreed. Mark you don't know anything. I'd bet you've never even been on a boat once.

@@HeaIthyFamiIyForce nice profile name

This is an old clip & it was Jakes first time captaining the boat on that trip but he was a co-captain, not the actual captain, he wasn't in charge of the boat

To my understanding its not really possible

Howd he mess up? Was he in control of two rogue waves? He didnt have time to give a heads up.

Jake was not captain at this point.

@@Kyle-gu3ge who was captain

@@choossuck7653 The old guy in the vid.

And these guys make good money to support their families...2 way street.

Those gosh darn rich folks giving people jobs

The rich haven't been the only ones eating crab! You do know it comes fresh, frozen or canned, and can be flown pretty much anywhere, right? And that seafood restaurants all over the world serve crab to the rich along with every other class of people, right? Or are you just putting your jealousy out there because the rich have money and you don't?

@@charliedavis8894 Wow you are as sharp as a tack.

@@chesterarthur8571 And, you didn't answer a single one of my questions. You can't defend your jealousy of rich people so you resort to personal attacks.
