What happened to Jonathan hillstrand from the time bandit on deadliest catch??

Captain Jonathan Hillstrand was noticeably absent from the season six premiere of “After the Catch.” He was recuperating from a recent injury involving a disagreement with a steer. Hillstrand thought it would be a good idea to ride the steer, but the steer disagreed. The attempted ride lasted for less than a second and resulted in Hillstrand in the dirt with four broken ribs.

“After the Catch” is a recap of the events of the preceding episode of the wildly successful reality series “Deadliest Catch.” “After the Catch” features captains and crewmembers of the Bering Sea crab fishing fleet that the Discovery Channel has been documenting since 2006.

Captain Hillstrand returned to “After the Catch” for the second episode of the season, airing June 26, 2012.
