What Really
Happened To
the Saga On
'Deadliest Catch'
By SHANE O'NEILL
For the first few episodes of "Deadliest Catch" Season 17, The Saga was nowhere to be found. Some fans questioned if Captain Jake Anderson's vessel finally sank while others wondered if it was merely out for repair.
This speculation was put to bed when the boat reemerged in the episode "Restricted Zone," which aired on May 25, 2021, but its absence was never explained. Nevertheless, to the delight of fans, it has gone on to make a few more appearances once again solidifying its reputation as a rough and tough fishing boat.
It took longer than most had anticipated, but the F/V Saga is back out on the water and doing well. How long it will be able to do so remains to be seen, but it stands to reason that should issues arise, Captain Jake Anderson won't allow the tenured boat to go down without a fight.
