Deadliest Catch’s Titan Explorer ship, helmed by Captain Jake Anderson, was exposed to the elements during filming. Chino was left shocked, before Jake decided to drop everything and take his team inside.
Jake Anderson had the difficult decision to stop his Deadliest Catch crew from working on deck. However, weather conditions became too dangerous due to extreme waves and they had to stop work.
Titan Explorer loses crab cage
Titan Explorer lost an entire cage of crabs during extreme weather conditions while filming Deadliest Catch. Staff shouted, “Careful,” as the crabs fell overboard and into the sea.
Captain Jake Anderson urged his crew to cast the gear, while one crew member urged his co-workers not to step on the line as he cast directly out to sea.
One crew member said, “I can’t do this anymore, screw this, screw that,” before the producer asked Jake, who was driving the boat, what had happened. He explained that a wave passed by, taking the crab’s cage with it.
Jake Anderson quits
Jake urged his crew members to drop everything and enter the ship, as it was too dangerous to be on the deck of the Titan Explorer. “It left the docks. That’s how big the deal was,” Jake said of the crabs.
Chino, who had previously been knocked out and couldn’t feel his legs, was asked if he was okay. The crew then gathered inside and left their usual crabbing season duties behind for the day.
Fans applaud Jake’s decision to put his team’s safety first. One wrote: “That’s a great decision and Jake is a great captain for taking care of his crew,” while one fan said: “I could never work on Jake’s ship.”
