The captains of\u00a0Deadliest Catch\u00a0<\/i>are used to rolling the dice in the \u201cBering Seas Casino\u201d where there is no big reward without some risks taken. With 50 knot winds and rough conditions there was a lot of that aboard The Wizard during the episode that aired September 19, 2025. Captain\u00a0Keith Colburn\u00a0got heated with the crew not listening to him as they worked to dock at the Dutch Harbor. \u201cStress factory,\u201d was how Keith\u2019s brother Co-captain Monte described the atmosphere. Adding to the situation, they had a relatively unproven crew. Among them was Calvin, who showed red flags on a number of occasions.<\/p>\n

One in particular rubbed Keith the wrong way when during a discussion in the wheelhouse, Calvin said he needed a money draw and more authority. Keith wasn\u2019t ready to give him added responsibility after he hadn\u2019t even hauled on pot. Calvin asked for $7,500, which Keith refused. Later, Calvin sent another text saying he needed $10,000 for bills in the next hour. Digging a little deeper, Keith found out his prior employer doesn\u2019t really remember him. Monte thought getting rid of Calvin was the obvious answer. Keith felt he was underqualified for the job and axed him. This came after he fired another crew member Connor during the September 12 episode. Keith told Calvin he\u2019d give him $2,000 and a plane ticket out.<\/p>\n

Just when the Colburn siblings thought they\u2019d gotten him out of their hair, Monte received a call from Captain Sig Hansen. The Northwestern captain said he\u2019d been asking about a job. He wasn\u2019t the only one Calvin had approached about work. Keith was fuming because he wasn\u2019t going to eat a $850 plane ticket and have him going around town after his firing. Keith eventually found Calvin at a bar and confronted him. Calvin flipped him off with Keith threatening to cancel his plane ticket out. Eventually, Keith told him he had 60 seconds to check into his flight. \u201cSee you later you [expletive] maggot,\u201d was Calvin\u2019s parting words. For Keith, it was now about the boat leaving safely and getting back to work<\/p>\n
