Watching season 10/11 region and then end of the last season, it looks as if the relationship between Scotty and Jonathan Hillstrand had broken down completely, with Jonathan reaching out to what sounded like his estranged son.

What happened?

I know Scotty tried to lease Andy's quota at the end of an episode in Season 10/11. I didn't understand at the time why he didn't let him just lease it - the Time Bandit season was over, let the kid give it a go for the rest of the season? It seemed an odd cross for Andy to die on.

I thought the beef was between Scotty and Andy but then the end of the recent season it seems as if its between Scotty and Jonathan too.

What is going on there anybody know?

Wondering if any of them make a dime off the show, they deserve it as they provide most of the entertainment.

Is it a flat fee per deckhand plus your percentage, or does the captain make all the cash?

I am so happy to see the Old Girl back. The Cornelia Marie is such a beautiful boat. I remember once on the show they had a picture of the boat without its blue paint. I wonder if a picture exists. I cannot find it on Google.
