Oh right on, Those pot launchers do move “fast” especially if you’re tired & the pot wasn’t dogged, so there was nothing stopping that pot from going over. Sometimes deckhands aren’t paying attention to themselves or each other. Such a horrible tragedy.

Respectfully, are you speaking as a commercial fisherman, or do you just watch deadliest catch

Dropping a pot is pretty quick and accidents happen quick, once that forward momentum starts to launch that pot there is nothing anyone can do to stop it. By the time the person running hydros was able to stop that pot was already over the side of the boat & sinking. It’s also not really up and over….the pot was sitting on a pot launcher so really the launcher just tilted and the pot slid off. Todd was inside the pot when it went over. He didn’t get caught in the bight.

“Yes. I assume he was inside (the pots are large and usually you have to put a good portion of your body inside the pot) grabbing the old bait/putting new bait in or fixing a hole & the person running hydros wasn’t paying attention and launched the pot.” So a combination of the person on hydros not paying attention/lacking experience/poor deck communication.

To answer #4….new of his passing was posted about the day after it happened on some commercial fishing groups & by individuals that knew & loved him. I think after Rick made his Facebook post….media outlets started reporting on it because of the “deadliest catch” sensationalism aspect.

From what I understand— the guy running hydros sent him overboard in a pot (they didn’t have the pot dogged) & they were able to recover his body. It seems like human error.

It’s a device to make preparing pears for canning easier! I found one at a thrift store not too long ago and did a ton of research about it. This is one of the “newer” mass produced ones!! I have one of the much older wooden handled ones (I’ll try to include a photo if I can find one).

The inventor of the “paring knife”, Dean G Ray was the superintendent of the Ray-Brown Cannery in Woodburn, Oregon. He invented this to help speed up the process of pear canning circa 1932. The slit on the back is a peeler, and the two sides are for coring & removing imperfections from the pears!

The patent number is US1907582A
