However, in one instance, Freddy got a bit carried away drinking too much before the boar sailed to Alaskan waters, and missing the big catch. He joined the show in 2008 as a deckhand on the ship Cornelia Marie, but he would soon switch boats and become a deckhand on Wizard, remaining on the ship for the several years, slowly building a name for himself and gaining the respect of both the captain and young crew.

The couple filed charges against the Samoan, and he was incarcerated on the 19th December, just three days following their fight.

Then, just a few years ago, Hillstrand looked up Slick and so began the evolution of The Time Bandit Car. It wasn’t long after that that the young Hillstrand took North to Alaska to become a crabber.
