He came out and asked what it was for and I hit him with the water – parted his hair right down the mmiddle. I got one of the guys, painted a big red X on the dock. Johnathan Hillstrand: My favorite was on the roof with about 100 gallons of water. It’s a pretty high-stress job.ĬatManDo: You guys seem to like to pull pranks. I’m trying to quit, but we smoke a lot of cigarettes. Johnathan Hillstrand: I’m down to about a pack, but I was smoking about three packs. I watch my guys to know when that point is.ĭandigirl1: Captain, how much do you all smoke a day? I know when I’m tired I know my guys are even more tired. As for time without sleep, it’s up to every captain to decide that. If we would have dropped him we might not have been able to reach him in time a minute’s delay can be the difference between life and death. The waves helped, putting him right up to rail level. I lost track of him but was watching the life ring, I was going towards that and saw him again. Johnathan Hillstrand: It’s like pulling up to a buoy, so once I located him I kept an eye on him between the waves. Let’s get started!īil: How were you able to get close to the guy you saved, it seemed like a long way to go and how was he able to grab onto the life line?

Ask Johnathan about the rescue and this season of fishing now.
