Though this wasn't the first time Deadliest Catch dropped a boat from the show, the Time Bandit and Johnathan Hillstrand had been standard fixtures on the show since the second season, so it was pretty shocking to the fans.However, it has been missing from the Discovery Channel series for quite some time, and fans are wondering if it will ever return to the show. The next few years would go by without news of when Hillstrand of the Time Bandit would return to the show. Sadly, when further pressed by fans as to why Johnathan wouldn't return to the Deadliest Catch for the fourteenth season, Sheryl shut down all queries by stating that she cannot discuss anything to do with the fourteenth season as well as Hillstrand's involvement with the show.

Hillstrand was planning on starting a brand new crab fishery the year of his retirement, but unfortunately, the paperwork and permits did not come through on time. She stated that while Johnathan did retire from King Crab and Opilio Crab fishing, the two types of crabs they fish for in the deadliest catch, he hasn't entirely retired from crab fishing. Sheryl, Johnathan's social media manager, answered many fans' queries on Facebook as to why he retired. Johnathan Hillstrand left the show, not because of illness but because he had plans to open another crab fishery that fell through. Johnathan and his brother Andy Hillstrand bowed out from the show following the thirteenth season, and their boat, the Time Bandit, came with them. These rumors were unfounded, and the captain of the Time Bandit just needed some time off to be with his family. Rumors started spreading that the Deadliest Catch fisherman had cancer. So, when Captain Hillstrand announced that he would retire after season 13 in 2017, many people wondered if he was sick.
