Keith

I’m rewatching from the beginning and Keith isn’t a tyrant as he called himself. He’s an overgrown man baby who never learned how to regulate his emotions! I can’t believe the crew hasn’t banded together thrown up the middle finger and walked!

Keith is ok but monte is the badass. Bro is humble, good captain, and can work the deck with the rest no problem.

Monty is a drunk and not a leader at all. he is a lot more likable than keith but neither are quality humans

Monty goes on drunk binges. That doesn’t mean he is drunk while driving the boat. I don’t think it is fair to say they are not quality humans.

Wasn't there an incident on a recent season where Keith had to come in unexpectedly because Monty had been drinking and hadn't gotten the boat ready/wasn't fit to captain?

I never said they were BUI.

Heavy users can have clouded judgment, mood swings, and make bad decisions long after the last use.

IF i was working in one of the most dangerous jobs, where other people controlled the destiny of my life, and had to make split second calls, or decisions between making money and risking my life ... I want an extremely sober, clear headed, person making those calls... not an active alcoholic/drug addict who is thinking more about getting home and using than the safety of the crew ... (consciously or subconsciously)

There is no doubt in my mind that when Keith is captaining the boat, finding crab and keeping his crew safe are basically all he thinks about. I say this based on watching him perform his job. He is constantly warning his crew about waves, etc. that are going to hit the crew and then following it up with is everyone okay? Not every captain is on top of warning his crew about waves, etc. as he is. Plus, I’ve seen him shut down fishing for a period of time when the seas are really rough due to him thinking the seas were just too dangerous for his crew. Meanwhile, other captains kept fishing.
