Deadliest Catch:

By the time Casey established himself in the Crab Industry, Deadliest Catch was setting new heights for a series of its kind. So, when the producers came knocking, Casey packed his bags and joined the cast. Casey joined the Deadliest Catch in 2014 during season 10 episode 8 “Cornelia Marie Blue” as the Captain and Engineer of the fishing vessel “Cornelia Marie.” Casey had been with the ship since Josh Harris bought it in 2013.  After debuting in 2014 Casey made successive 110 appeareances on Deadliest Catch until 2022.

Life after television show:

Josh owned and co-captained Cornelia Marie alongside Casey. Things went awry for the television as the news of  Josh’s assault against a 4 year-old-girl came to flash on the media in 2022. In prompt response, showrunners cut ties with the captain. Josh appeared in 193 episodes of Deadliest Catch from 2007-2022 and was part of its several spin-offs.

After the sacking of Josh Harris, all eyes were on Casey McManus and F/V Cornelia Marie. Casey has reportedly distanced himself from Josh and left the show as well. In response to his exit from the show, Casey also commented on a Facebook Post:

“Not on the show. I moved to the Oil spill response/ salvage/ tug world. I have many adventures ahead, but crab fishing doesn’t really exist anymore, and I need to continue to make money.”

Casey is now working as a vice president of Paradigm Marine and Technical Services, captaining a tug boat and doing response work. It is unclear who currently owns the F/V Cornelia Marie.
