Watching Sig and (presumably) his wife trying to figure out who that weirdo was on their security cameras followed by Johnathan zooming off in his pickup was pretty amazing. The Hillstrands finally got their revenge after the 2012 opilio season: on the day of Jake Anderson's wedding (at which Sig was officiating) they TP'ed Sig's house (Johnathan's excuse was that season was too stressful to think of something good).Then to top it off Josh Harris, now a Time Bandit deckhand, got a bucketful of flour tossed in his face courtesy of his brother Jake, now working aboard the Northwestern. And the war continues: The crew of the Northwestern decided to kick off the 2011 king crab season by sneaking aboard the Time Bandit in the middle of the night and inflating a life raft in the middle of their bunk area while the crew was alseep.Sig's response was to fight fire with fireworks - seemingly all of the fireworks in Alaska aimed directly at the Time Bandit, which promptly returned fire.As Johnathan hoped, Sig Hansen freaked out at seeing over three dozen unidentified flying lights near his ship. He also disabled his GPS and killed his boat lights to keep anyone on the Northwestern from seeing him. At the end of king crab season 2010, Johnathan Hillstrand launched a set of 40 Chinese lanterns into the air near the Northwestern.The truth didn't come out until they were filming After The Catch IV: Andy had gone back and emptied nearly all of Wild Bill's crawdad traps into his own. While down in New Orleans Andy Hillstrand and Wild Bill went crawdad fishing, but while Andy pulled up full "pots" Wild Bill pulled up almost all blanks.Northwestern deckhand Matt Bradley: I don't know what it is, but it's prehistoric and it's MINE! Near the end of King Crab 2009 the Time Bandit crew pulled one of the Northwestern's pots and stuck an alligator skull in the webbing, hoping that the crew of the Northwestern would think it came from some prehistoric sea monster.During the "Jake swap" in Season 6, Northwestern emptied one of Cornelia Marie's pots, replaced the contents with an IOU, and made sure Jake Harris was implicated in the prank.And that was after what they did to Jake after he came back to return the jacket so that they wouldn't seek retribution on the entire Northwestern crew: taped him to the crane and then lowered him waist deep into the water.Later they burned his effigy ostensibly because the presence of the dummy's Northwestern sweatshirt was offending the Crab God(s). The Hillstrands responded by hanging him in effigy. Northwestern deckhand Jake Anderson stealing Jonathan Hillstrand's USA Jacket, then wearing it with a hat on deck and impersonating him.Deckhand Dave Millman makes the comment, "Now I know we can pull a truck with the block," which makes Phil burst out laughing.The Time Bandit once replaced a pot from the Cornelia Marie with a junked truck.And the immediate response (after laughter): "Are there any crabs in it?".The Wizard attaching a porta-potty to a pot belonging to the North American.Phil putting a length of pipe on a line belonging to the Northwestern.The infamous "flour bomb": Put a bag of flour on the line by the buoy so it explodes when it hits the block.On our blog, video of the Hillstrand brothers' visit to our show.Even a show as serious as Deadliest Catch can bring the funny. "So when you hear the lapping of the hulls, it's not like you're in the harbor tied up, just sleeping like a baby. "We're used to hearing loud sounds all the time," Andy Hillstrand says. "And I was helpless with no radios, so I'm just floating out, and getting flushed out into the Bering Sea." "It was so calm and quiet, it was scary," he tells the Bryant Park Project. Stranded, they don't know which to fear more - the silence, or the sound. Johnathan Hillstrand writes about a day when the boat's motor quit. The Hillstrands have been on the Discovery Channel show "The Deadliest Catch," and they've written a book about their adventures called Time Bandit. The Hillstrands are crab fishermen off the coast of Alaska, where the waves are huge and the water is cold enough to kill a person in five minutes. Johnathan and Andy Hillstrand have one of the deadliest jobs in the world. Watch: Photographer documents high-risk fishing
