Jake found out about his relative during his son Cadence\u2019s birthday. This news hit him hard considering it was Nick who Jake credited with helping through addiction and got him started in the crabbing industry. \u201cIt\u2019s the biggest gift I have ever been given,\u201d Jake said. \u201cMy Uncle Nick picked me up and helped save my life.\u201d With the passing weighing on his mind, Jake knew he had to move forward with the task at hand. He looked to move northeast and a canyon area, which has been where crabs go in to hide from the tides and currents. There were four or five days left until an offloading deadline.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><span>Jake was trying to organize a memorial and began reaching out to other captains.

Sig met with crew member and son-in-law Clark Pederson to work through a ledge and ridge that were impeding their crab numbers. They looked to create a counterweight to pull the pots and tighten up the line. Sig also had Nick on his mind and felt his presence. He ended up working through the problem and received a big score.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"Deadliest Catch\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"370\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/8drv5ymFJvZ_b6_R_UomvA--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTM3MDtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/tv_insider_639\/534a4961e55becd6f1de951428e62794\"\/><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p>Deadliest Catch<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Discovery Channel<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><span>The Wizard had around 40,000 pounds before drop off. Keith Colburn bet the farm on the one space. However, the hot-headed captain needed to figure out why he wasn\u2019t getting the results he wanted. He stepped out to find new bait and old bait were on top of each other. This led to a shouting match between Keith and his brother Monte over the fish issue. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><span>Jake rang Keith in the middle of their argument to talk about Nick. Keith was on board for any kind of tribute. He got emotional about the call and told Monte they had to get things right. It got them both thinking how there are more important things than what they were arguing about. The call put things in perspective. Keith told \u201cMouse\u201d he never thanked him for saving his life after his medical emergency suffered onboard last season. The two embraced. An emotional moment for the brothers. Keith said, \u201cI don\u2019t say I love you enough. I don\u2019t say thank you enough to my brother. I have to start remembering that.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><span>Elsewhere, the Aleutian Lady were in the midst of a storm to work through.

Rick went down to investigate and found out the pump three shut off and wouldn\u2019t turn back on. There were more than a quarter of a million dollars that could be lost due to a slack tank in the middle of the storm. The crew needed to get water back into the tank pronto. Rick noticed the breaker was tripped, even though the alarm didn\u2019t go off. The pump was working and the breaker reset but dead crab was a real concern. They had to offload quickly to find out what kind of damage was done. Offloading out\u00a0 in the\u00a0 sea with boats rocking was easier said than done. Swells were coming on strong, but they fulfilled their mission. Luckily, not much was lost.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><span>Jake put out a call on the radio to honor his Uncle Nick. The other captains listened in with tears flowing throughout. \u201cIf anyone wants to take a moment to say a prayer, my family would really appreciate it, \u201cJake added. Keith said his prayer for the fallen shipmate and tolled the bell to mark Nick\u2019s \u201cfinal watch.\u201d Jake fired off a pot with his name and years of life on it. Sig and crew shared a drink. Keith led off fireworks with clips shown from Nick\u2019s time on the show.
