This past opelio crab season in the Bering Sea, Hillstrand re-injured his low back while working on deck. Not even a full week into the season, the captain was in an immense amount of pain and hadn't slept for two days. On Tuesday, during the most recent episode, he was faced with very difficult decision.
Johnathan must decide whether to leave his brother and crew, or to stay on land and seek treatment. When off-loading crab at port he explained "If I stay here, at least I can go to the chiropractor." He continued by saying to his brother, "I think it is dumb for me to ruin my body at 49 years old." He then made the difficult decision.
Later that night, and with an antalgic lean forward, Captain Hillstrand hobbled onto land in search for the most successful treatment for low back pain. He was off to see the chiropractor. Years and years of fighting through pain for the deadliest catch, he decided that this time it was not worth further injuring his back. Wise decision by one of the finest fisherman on television.
