I can say, with out a doubt, nobody is going to fall overboard in the Bering Sea just to "HAM IT UP " the shock of hitting the water alone is enough to cause cardiac arrest add to that the weight of foul weather gear and hip boots filled with water and your lucky if you can stay afloat long enough for a rescue.The rule is 50 degree water for 50 min. and you stand a 50/50 chance of survival. The avg. temp in the Bering Sea is around 38 degrees at those temps you get 15 min. with a 15 % chance of survival.
Sig and Edgar Hansen on the F/V Northwestern use a more refined technique for the hauling of pots in regard to the ability to haul/bait/set their gear, the turnover time for hauling gives them an advantage that translates to more crab in the tank with less cost in fuel and more days at sea. True professional fishermen.
