Former crewman sues skipper
from ‘Deadliest Catch’ show
Associated Press
PORTLAND — A for-
mer seaman has sued a fisher-
man who starred in Discovery
Channel’s “Deadliest Catch:
Dungeon Cove” show, alleg-
ing the man was negligent and
caused severe injury.
Nolan Dean filed a suit
Dec. 6 in federal court against
Gary Ripka, nicknamed “The
Ripper,” who appeared in the
first episode of “Deadliest
Catch: Dungeon Cove” in Sep-
tember 2016.
Dean claims his arm was bro-
ken because Ripka was negli-
gent and his ship wasn’t seawor-
thy, The Oregonian reported.
Dean was working in the
back of Ripka’s ship, West-
ern Breeze, on May 30,
2015, when Ripka activated
a hydraulic control, the com-
plaint states. Dean’s arm got
caught in a line, and he was
hoisted over the deck. Multi-
ple bones broke in his arm.
Ripka declined to talk
about the specifics of the case,
but said he has a history of
safe fishing expeditions.
“Our operation has a rep-
utation for being safe. Our
crew members know that,”
Ripka said. “Guys have no
problem coming on our boat
because they know it’s safe.”
