IMO the show is getting too much drama. If i wanted to watch drama i would watch the soaps with the wife, at those shows have hot women on them.
That aqua logger is a hammerhead, he is a walking accident right there. Some of those logs he could have pulled without a boat and that money could have been spent on far better equipment than what he is using. All he does is run around screaming, his equipment sucks and he is very unorganized. He has quite an opportunity to make money but man is he fouling it up. As far as the state goes i would tell them to pound it. I could see him needing a permit to log on the waterway but not for each log individually. The state will make their money after he sells his product, they should be happy that he is cleaning up the waterways and in a sense is recycling.
