CAPTAIN JOHN HILLSTRAND (age 43) has a love for life on the edge that doesn't end when he gets off the boat. He rides a Harley Davidson that is rigged with a nitrous boost that will rocket him to 120 mph at the touch of a button. John runs a tight ship and is not afraid to speak his mind. John splits his shore time between Seattle and Homer, Alaska.
ANDY HILLSTRAND (age 42) trades command duties with John between seasons; he is the captain of the Time Bandit during opilio crab season. Andy owns a quarter horse ranch in Indiana where his other passion is horse training.
NEIL HILLSTRAND (age 38) is the youngest of the five brothers and is in charge of prepping the boat before each season. Neil cooks, cleans and operates the boat at night while the crew sleeps. Neil started fishing salmon and herring with his father when he was 12 years old. In the off-season, he runs a hydro-seeding company in Homer, Alaska. Neil is the father of two teenage kids.
DECKHAND MIKE FOURTNER (age 25) has been fishing with the Time Bandit since he was 18 years old. Mike was raised in a fishing family in Homer, Alaska. He says there are only two jobs up in Homer: logging or fishing. He chose the latter. He started fishing when he was 9 years old with his uncle and fell in love with it. Fishing has been his only source of income his entire life.
DECKHAND TOM MILLER (age 32) owns a small, 32-foot fishing boat and fishes for red salmon in Bristol Bay, as well as for halibut off Kodiak Island, when he's not crabbing. He is a professional diver and is working toward his dive master license. He loves to travel out of the country as much as possible.
