Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What item on a crab boat is nicknamed the "pot"?

Answer: The metal cases used to trap crab

These large rectangular cases are filled with bait and dropped into the water. They are marked by buoys so that the crews can pick them up later. When the fishermen return, hopefully, the pots will be full of a good number of crab.

2. What often piles up on the surface of the boats, necessitating removal by the crews?

Answer: Ice

The surfaces of the boats will get covered, due to the freezing sea spray. Clearing the ice must be done with picks and is a physically demanding task in its own right.

3. In the episode "Catch as Catch Can," in the fourth season, from what dreaded ailment did crewmen of the "Cornelia Marie" suffer?

Answer: Bering Sea dementia

It's similar to "cabin fever." People who have been working long hours under very arduous conditions start to crack under the pressure. They may see or hear things, have trouble with the gear on the boat, and easily lose their tempers.

4. In "Mortal Men," during season four, Captain Phil Harris of the "Cornelia Marie" began coughing up blood. He attributed this to an injury to his ribs. What turned out to be the real cause?

Answer: A blood clot that had passed through his heart

Harris hurt his ribs after he fell off his bunk. The boat had been hit by a high wave. This turned out not to be the reason he was coughing up blood. Harris was lucky he was dropped off at the hospital in time. He received treatment and was able to recover.

5. Which boat was not profiled for the first time in the third season of the show?

Answer: The Godzilla

Sig Hansen is the captain of the Northwestern. This boat has been on the show since the first season.

6. In the episode "On the Crab," Eric Nyhammer of the "Rollo" says the crew have had bad luck and caught a lot of crabs which must be thrown out. For how many miles does he say this happened?

Answer: 33

The crew members are obliged to get rid of female crabs, and male crabs that are too young. "On the Crab" aired in the second season of the show.

7. What unwelcome news did the fishermen receive in the episode "Lady Luck," in the first season?

Answer: The Department of Fish and Game was closing the king crab season early

The show is filmed in Alaska. The headquarters of the state's Department of Fish and Game is in Juneau. The announcement meant that the crews would earn thousands of dollars less than they had anticipated.

8. To what does Russ Newberry of the Time Bandit compare the bad weather, in the third-season episode "Caught in the Storm"?

Answer: Being in a washing machine on full cycle

The weather isn't the only problem for the Time Bandit in this episode. One of its crewmen gets stuck in the lines, and must be freed from them.

9. What problem does the boat The Wizard experience in the fourth-season episode "The Final Hour"?

Answer: There is a hole in the crab tank

Captain Keith Colburn says he knew something was wrong when the crab tanks didn't fill up, despite the addition of new catches. "We've always made the bottomless pit joke, and now it came true."

10. Which of these comes closest to what Captain Phil Harris of the "Cornelia Marie" says about crab fishing, in the fourth-season episode "No Season for Old Men"?

Answer: It's very difficult and isn't for everyone

"You gotta be a little bit twisted to do this job," Phil states. The fleet of Alaskan crab fishing crews can lose, on average, one person a week, in the extremely harsh conditions at sea.
