He also promised an epic prank at some point along the way. The two chatted at length, during which Hillstrand assured Bob that the seventh season, which premiered on April 12, will feature plenty of harrowing drama, not to mention some blood and broken bones. While making the rounds at the factory, Hillstrand had a chance to spend time with Bob Taylor, who happens to be a longtime fan of the show. He also recounted the perils of battling six-story waves, on-the-job sleep deprivation (his record is 80 hours) and other treacherous working conditions that keep Deadliest Catch viewers on the edge of their seats each week.

During his visit, Hillstrand shared some colorful tales, including a funny account of the dramatic demise of his first guitar, an Esteban, which he used to defend himself in an altercation with another fisherman. Hillstrand, who owns an 810ce he says he loves, was initially drawn to Taylor after seeing an online video of Bob Taylor talking about guitar making.
DID THE HILLSTRANDS SELL THE TIME BANDIT TV
SINGAPORE (Team Geared Up) – Team Geared Up will be interviewing the TV stars of Discovery Channel’s Deadliest Catch tomorrow. They have a book hitting the stands in less then a week, their website just had a complete face-lift (You must check that out!), they’re gearing up for a major “Deadliest Catch” tour and no doubt for book signing events as well, and they recently brought the F/V Time Bandit down to the west coast for some major maintenance and repairs. It should be pretty exciting! The Hillstrands are extremely busy these days…so they have plenty to talk about. An mp3 file of the interview will be available to listen to at a later time. If you’re interested in having a question answered by these “Deadliest Catch” fishermen, you can make the jump to Team Geared up, register, and post your questions or you can leave a question here on Deadliest Reports.
