It's hard to consider anybody active in the crab fishery
The Woobie. But believe it or not,
Deadliest Catch actually has one: F/V
Northwestern's junior deckhand, Jake Anderson.
- He is one of the youngest people on the show (and unlike the Harris boys, didn't grow up with the business, though he did a stint on a cod boat in his late teens). He's average height and slim, with large eyes and a soft voice. He's eager to please (although he has as much of a temper as the others when he's tired or riled enough), puts up with all the crap thrown on greenhorns for his first two seasons to prove himself, endures the rule of probably the harshest captain on the show, and seems more emotionally open than the other, more stoic men (he puts it down to only having sisters, not brothers, growing up) — speaking openly of the fondness he has for the rest of the Northwestern's crew, calling them a new family. And if that wasn't enough, a personal tragedy in season 5 should do it.
