Deadliest Catch

Just like season, the captains most the boats make a bet totaling $900.00 for the best string which they dubbed the "Captain's String". The Early Dawn and the North American weren't included in this bet.

This season's chase boat was the Sea Star, last seen back in season one as the season's chase boat.

In the European edition of this episode feature an added extra scene that elaborated a bit on Keith's cup-o-noodles stress. He was apparently so desperate, that he called another ship, the Atlantico,if they had some cup-o-noodles for him. They said yes, asked if he wanted beef or chicken flavor. So they put some in a bag and it went overboard with a buoy. Crosby hauled it in, saying something like "I can't believe this, ships exchanging cup-o-noodles in mid ocean. That's the first time for me, and I do hope the last." Gary opened the bag and discovered they were not cup-o-noodles but bowl-o-noodles. "This doesn't help us." Keith: "Oriental bowl-o-noodles...that ain't gonna work!"
