Didn't really need the "Deadliest Catch crew to conduct the tests though. I don't think their presence mattered that much.

I suppose they could have been considered "technical advisors" for the episode, but that may be stretching the definition.

1) I feel as if there was not enough rope. On a related note, not sure 200 feet was an accurate depth for this test. I just watched this episode online -- didn't they say that crab fishing is done at around 200 feet? (I'm not having any luck Googling up depths for the Bering Sea, though.) they did at least imply it. |

I've tried to nap for 15-20 minutes and just end up groggy. If I nap, it's for 45-60 minutes on Sunday afternoons.  |

Forgot to mention, when the CC guys kinda cursed a bit, I kept thinking, you guys better not ruin the show doing all that cursing through out the show.

I think it's reasonable for them to know how deep they are and how much line they use. |

the usual necessary checks to make sure he didn't hit his head on a belaying pin on the way overboard? |

I read about one of the creepier parts of crab fishing traditions.
Supposedly, at one time, a fishing equipment supply house sold metal insoles for boots. This was so that if you were pulled over, they would quickly sink you and therefore put you out of your misery.
Not really a myth, I suppose, other than if a metal weight could be large enough to pull someone under quickly and yet still fit in a shoe.

I see two myths: yours, and whether it was believed it would. there are people out there who have absolutely no comprehension of such advanced scientific principles as bouyancy, displacement, and education. |
