Alaskan crab remains one of the hardest things to catch, but with shellfish prices rising every year, crews in the Bering Sea have no choice but to defend their fishing grounds. Deadliest Catch season 19 returns to Discovery TV on April 19 with a two-hour premiere. Some new faces, along with returning members, are part of the cast for the latest season of Deadliest Catch. Jack Bunnell has taken over the F/V Barbara J, but has stiff competition from veteran Captain Steve “Harley” Davidson for seat time and control of the famed crabber.

Jack Bunnell on the deadliest catch
Before Jack took over the F/V Barbara J, he worked on Jake Anderson’s Saga (as SG Engineer) and later at Pinnacle.
According to his Discovery bio, Jack got the job at Saga at the last minute because all the fishing boats were full and there were no openings. On the recommendation of a friend, Jack found out that Jake needed a boyfriend two weeks before the season started and flew directly to Homer to work on the F/V Saga as an engineer.
At first, Jack wasn’t sure he was in good hands because he had heard from other people that Jake couldn’t catch crabs. Knowing that Saga had some improvements in the season she joined was definitely worth the consolation points for Jack.
The third generation fisherman had an accident while working on the Saga. A steel-framed pot dislodged from the jar and lodged in his leg, causing injuries. The accident occurred while Captain Jake was forcing the crew to make a hasty retreat.
Shortly after that incident, Jack was fired after disobeying Jake and went drinking on the beach.” We do not compromise security for television purposes. “Our camera crews are invited guests on the captain’s ships, and they run and operate their ships independently of the TV crews,” the Deadliest Catch producers said after Jack was fired.
To talk about how Jack felt about being fired, he said that there wasn’t much money in Saga anyway. “…Pinnacle is a much better boat,” he added.
As for his last stint as co-captain of the Barbara J, viewers have seen Jack bring some useful tricks, seemingly picked up from his father, to his job stopping the trawlers from working and destroying everything in their path.
The same trick is widely used by Greenpeace UK, an environmental non-profit organization, which involves dumping large rocks into the sea so they can be caught in trawl nets to stop the unregulated activities of illegal fishermen.
Although Steve “Harley” Davidson, the ship’s deputy captain, was proud of Jack’s methods, he was angry with his co-captain for not making the crew wear helmets while lifting heavy rocks overhead.
How much is Jack Bunnell’s net worth?
When we talk about Jake’s income from working as a fishing boat captain, they are not fixed. There is no hourly pay or anything like that for captains. Instead, they are paid for what they catch and deliver. Some successful captains claim to earn millions in days. Sig Hansen, perhaps the richest captain of all, is worth an estimated $3.5 million.
As of 2023, Jack Bunnell’s net worth is estimated to be around $400 thousand. No one knows though, if Jack’s engagement to Barbara J is successful, he could be worth millions in a matter of days.
