Time Bandit Andy Hillstrand

The Time Bandit is the fishing vessel that Andy and Johnathan Hillstrand use to hook the deadliest catch, Alaskan king crabs and opilio crabs, in the Bering Sea. They take valuable crabs from the sea while facing its dangers head on. In pursuit of their daily catch, the brothers brave ice floes and heaving 60-foot waves, gusting winds of 80 miles per hour, unwieldy and unpredictable half-ton steel crab traps, and an injury rate of almost 100-percent.
