Due to a combination of extreme situations, smartass crewmen and genuine emotion (and a need to unclutter this page), there is enough material for the show to have separate Crowning Moment pages for each of these: [[Deadliest Catch/Awesome|Awesome]], [[Deadliest Catch/Funny|Funny]] and [[Deadliest Catch/Heartwarming|Heartwarming]].
In September 2010, John and Andy Hillstrand of the ''Time Bandit'' became embroiled in a $3 million dollar breach-of-contract lawsuit with The Discovery Channel over what Discovery executives claimed was the Hillstrand's refusal to complete work on an off-season show called ''Hillstranded''. The Hillstrands and ''Northwestern'' captain Sig Hansen released a joint statement saying that "given the current situation with Discovery", they are "unable to continue participating in ''Deadliest Catch''," with Hansen further saying that "the captains stand together, and me and my brothers support them 100 percent." Fortunately, as of October 10, 2010 the Hillstrands and Discovery have reached a settlement and all three captains have returned to the show.

"A deal's a deal. We're heading up to Dutch Harbor to start filming the new season of Deadliest Catch and hopefully it will be the best one yet."
In the 8th season (2012) Jake and Josh Harris are no longer on the ''Cornelia Marie'' but instead working as deckhands on, respectively, the ''Northwestern'' and the ''Time Bandit''. According to the season premiere, the brothers didn't make enough money to finance another trip, with owner Cornelia Devlin instead having the boat fish as a trawler, again under captain Tony Lara.
