Line 163:
* [[Important Haircut]]: The crew of the ''Cornelia Marie'' (excluding Phil) will give each other Mohawks to "appease the Crab God(s)" when the catch is poor. This has happened twice, and both times it worked. Phil ''did'' shave his beard once, just for good measure, as he was stuck in the harbor and needed some luck. The tradition seems to have carried over to the ''Wizard'' with Freddie and hasn't lost any of its effectiveness.
* [[Incredibly Lame Pun]]: CRABALANCHE!
* [[Injury Tropes]]: The injury rate for crab fishermen is pretty much 100%. Excluding gunshot and arrow wounds [[Tempting Fate|(so far -- there was bow-fishing in New Orleans)]], it's rare when someone is ''not'' injured (The ''Wizard''{{'}}s captain getting cracked on the head ''by the boat'', the ''Cornelia Marie''{{'}}s captain suffering from a pulmonary embolism, which should've killed him), nearly injured (multiple near-fatal-misses involving chunks of ice, giant waves, swinging/loose steel crab pots, loops of rope, slippery decks and open hatches...), or just nearly out-of-his-mind tired.
* [[It Got Worse]]: Generally, the weather during opie season, which seems to get worse each year.
** "Wild Bill"'s return to crab fishing was so bad that three of his crew (''including his own son'') quit after king season; opie season brought crewmen who apparently couldn't count and poorly-closed pots that wasted a very fertile spot. On top of that he was 0-for-10 when he and Andy went crawdad fishing in New Orleans. {{spoiler|''That'', at least, was a prank - they put all of Bill's crawdads into Andy's traps}}.
