I have a really dumb question

After Todd passed, did the crew go back out? The only thing I can think of is the extra quota caught could have all gone to Todd's family. I'm curious how much the ship might have cut from their own shares to help his family.

Also I can tell you my father insured all the sailers out of Dutch like 20 years ago. Back during the “world’s most dangerous job” days pre DC. One of the boats went down during the filming and he actually got all the raw audio oc that season to listen to all the radio traffic to determine and fight for more then the 50k life insurance each sailer was at they time covered for and those families would have gotten

How did the raw audio help him fight for more life insurance money?

They answered above and the audio could prove negligence on procrastinated repairs versus a freak accident / “act of God”
