His fellow deckhand, without even thinking of himself, jumped to his friend's side and employed a maneuver called "the deck anchor", wrapping his own legs around his co-worker's waist, ensuring he weighed twice as much and securing him to the deck. It literally saved him from being pulled over. These men can be salty and arrogant and pig-headed from the sheer stress of this job... But not unlike firemen or police officers, when that moment comes, they become a heroic brotherhood. Bravo, and God bless these men.
@@rachelelabbady3399 He did wrap his legs, one went under and the other her threw over his hips. The whole thing happened over less than like 10 seconds, the guy you see standing is the camera guy. He'd probably only end up getting in the way if he had tried to help.
He's damn lucky his leg doesn't get tangled with the lines. Or else he will went on a one way journey to the abyss. Good and swift team mate saved his life. He owes his co-deckhand.
I knew a guy that worked on a fishing boat in Norway that got his foot ripped off by a rope getting tangled around his ankle. When he fell he looked over and saw his foot, still in the boot laying by his shoulder while he was holding his leg.
Ummm I have to day bro, it wasn't really because of the wave, and that's the main reason they call them, "ROGUE WAVES MY BRODI" they come out of nowhere unpredictable lol
Not to mention they’ve probably been getting hit with waves for hours. The captain yelling wave! every 5 seconds for hours is probably annoying as hell lmao.
I love how a bunch of dirty grizzled tobaco smoking sweating dirty mouthed dudes turn into tender caring nurses the second one of their brothers are in need. Real men
dude that drowned was hopped up on adrenaline, and was more concerned with the pain in his leg afterward. the crew had to watch it happen and act fast to prevent him from going over. i get it, seeing your friend almost die would traumatize me too
Whose the guy at 3:40 that just stands there doing absolutely nothing!? Actually, he would've been ok since he was tangled at the end of the rope next to the floatation marker bobber.
I dunno, the way he was almost curling up and losing motor control on the deck, looked like he took a hell of a knock to the head, I’ve seen people acting the exact same way after a tbi
The man saved his crewmate amazing how fast he reacted to that chaotic situation, what a hero
He barely avoided being a statistic.
Almost like they planned it. 😆
All an act 4 tv

He didn't wrap his legs around him at all. That's the other guys legs flailing around. What gets me is the one hand just standing there doing nothing.

The hell did firemen do to you?
@@drv8086he said NOT unlike haha.
@@drv8086 Took part of my paycheck at gunpoint.
Props to the deckhand for his quick thinking and grabbing the dude, also props to the guy for wanting to go back out and work.
3:36 you can see the line forming a knot on his leg, idk how he got out of that, that looked really scary
Pure luck it slipped off his ankle.
That was the least convincing "I can still work" I've ever heard. Props to the crew for reacting so quickly.
It was just a act 4 tv
Can't say the hand did anything wrong. Just proves how dangerous the job is. You can do everything right and STILL get injured or dead
If this was one of Wild Bill's deckhands, he be verbally berating him as well as all the other deckhands for not "manning up".

I would send that guy a Christmas card every year for saving my life if that were me !
Andy Hillstrand is like that funny uncle at the family reunion 😂 guy makes me laugh every scene he’s in 😂
I knew a guy that worked on a fishing boat in Norway that got his foot ripped off by a rope getting tangled around his ankle.

Dude “I can still work” wow, he didn’t wanna stop.
Poor guy's heart would be pounding his life probably flashed before his eyes
A very very lucky boy! Amazing reaction from his crewmate ❤
Andy didn’t call out to the crew to warn them of the wave like the other captains do
Ummm I have to day bro, it wasn't really because of the wave, and that's the main reason they call them, "ROGUE WAVES MY BRODI" they come out of nowhere unpredictable lol

Andy can hear the ocean, the late great Dale Sr could see the wind imagine if these two legends teamed up. The Bering Sea would be afraid of them.
Good crewmate for grabbing him
That crew ate saved his life unbelievable
If we working together my brother and you go over gotdamn me imma do my best to get you out that water
He was headed straight for the bottom! Quick reaction and teamwork def saved this guy
2:04. Where u at now Andy..
‘I’m a 51 year old badass of the Beiring sea’
You’re the captain sat in the seat... not out with the guys putting the real hard work in
Before he become captain...he used to works as deckhand. Year after years he gain experience and climbing ranks....not becoming as greenhorn captain
You don't just become a captain dude. You gotta be a deckhand before you can get behind the wheel.
How do you think he became captain bud?
@@mendoblendo321 didn’t realise his name was bud
@@jasonrice9973 Captain Bud sounds like a good captain.
“Im a 51 year old badass on the Bering sea!” Says the least badass guy on that boat….
He's the Captain of the boat. Dodo brain. He's running the show.......dumb comment
@@hiphopguru81 Agreed... Especially since he's paid his dues coming up. Some people... SMH
@@hiphopguru81 my comment was almost as dumb as your name! Flexing on being a TH-cam OG is about as cringe as it gets…
Jonathan/Sig and Phil are the G.O.A.Ts
@@hiphopguru81 Jonathan is a better captain IMO. He cares more about the crew too. He was Ben coke shoulders his own nephew.
Andy looks, sounds, and has the same kind of mannerisms as Mitch from Goldrush
That “Oh No” after these guys tell the captain that his leg was caught under the launcher. It’s heartless, mocking his own downed man.
Andy was always a fackin idiot so no surprise
Andy never says “oh no”. Nor does Johnathon. What are you talking about.
This show is HEAVILY edited home slice
That was epic! long hours getting beat to hell, then inside of 5 seconds that happened. lucky Yonge man, great crew.
I love how a bunch of dirty grizzled tobaco smoking sweating dirty mouthed dudes turn into tender caring nurses the second one of their brothers are in need. Real men
I want that job, where can I register to be an Alaskan crab catcher
Whoa, dang that could've been mega bad, o didn't think it was that serious the title, until seeing that, wowzers dudes, wow
Threw a fish accross the deck who’s laughing now
I wonder how many people get swept overboard a year, up there? Scary as hell.
Captain: "he says he can go back to work"
Maans a savage 🤣🤣
Lol captain saying he’s a badass… no sir your crew is they’re the ones outside while your in your chair
are you stupid or stupid? I guess you know that Andy used to work on the deck.. he has earned his job as captain
I think the crew were almost more traumatised than the dude that nearly drowned!
dude that drowned was hopped up on adrenaline, and was more concerned with the pain in his leg afterward. the crew had to watch it happen and act fast to prevent him from going over. i get it, seeing your friend almost die would traumatize me too
The captain talks like he is the one doing the labour. Bet he’s just up on his high horse most of the time.
are you stupid or stupid? I guess you know that Andy used to work on the deck.. he has earned his job as captain
I like Jonathan more than I like Andy
Captain called himself a badass. 😂lmao. Dude you are steering the boat from a heated and dry room. The real badasses are the crew hauling gear.
it's very nautical out
Whose the guy at 3:40 that just stands there doing absolutely nothing!? Actually, he would've been ok since he was tangled at the end of the rope next to the floatation marker bobber.
Yea, overboard in a storm, in freezing water with a rope wrapped around his leg, I highly doubt that.
Atta boy eddie
All this for money that they blow in the bars and on overpriced goods, what a trap they got themselves into.
Putting your men in danger for monetary gain....just wow
Thats the price of being a man in this world. You only have the luxuries you do because men put themselves in danger for monetary gain
This is a captain i would never want to work for. Cares more about his pockets and ego more than he cares about the crew
sorry .. but .. so cald cap Andy .. is a JURK .. He doesn't need to be in charge of no man
kyle diearly????
He's only bruised. I was a paramedic for yrs. No typical responses to anything major. He's fine.
I dunno, the way he was almost curling up and losing motor control on the deck, looked like he took a hell of a knock to the head, I’ve seen people acting the exact same way after a tbi
Having that rope caught around his leg also could have caused a serious injury or even broken his leg.
bro
Vote yes on 29
Every time I get that Ad I say this
That was so dangerously close. But a lot of times I think the greenhorns are exaggerating the pain. Just the greenhorns
Just made the same type of comment
The show encourages them to dramatize moments like this
Sorry, but in those conditions, nobody should be celebrating...when ya do....this video shows what happens.
I don’t like capt Keith
Jesus catches us all just like that. If you push Him away when He’s there to save you, you will go down deep and die forever.
pretty sure the crew mate that saved him isn't" jesus ".
I'm pretty sure it doesn't matter how you die, it's always forever
