"Throwing the hook" in Deadliest Catch.

Turner

Jeez they make such a big deal out of it, portraying it as some kind of skillful art.

My half blind granny could snare one of those lines with that hook after finishing half a bottle of Brsitol Cream sherry ffs :eek::eek:

i donno about that, you are at sea where your boat is rolling, judge the length from you to the boat sp you can bring it to you fast enough so the boat doesnt start to drag it and then cut the rope

all and all it prob isnt that easy as you think...

Some people would think driving around in an SUV with full automatic weapons, body armour and air support going up against thugs with crappy pistols was easy.

I think part of it is that they can't afford to miss the line with the hook otherwise they would have to turn the boat around and go back. Tough gig that

Definitely, they need to get it first time. I'd say it takes a little time to get used to it.

And when have you done it Chief???
I think you will find it's not that easy, i would not be able to stand up, never mind throw anything!Anyone that has picked that way to earn a living does not believe in doing things the easy way!
