On the unforgiving, storm-whipped waters of Alaska's Bering Sea, a small group of brave, hard-bitten men pull their livelihood from beneath the waves. Battling fierce winds, forty-foot swells, and water so cold it can kill you in minutes, the fisherman of Deadliest Catch chase the Alaskan King Crab harvest, risking their lives for a payoff that can bring them more money in a week than most people make in a year. Each episode takes us to America's last frontier to follow the story of individual skippers and their crews as they take on the world's deadliest job, where a single misstep can cost you your life, and a good catch can make you your fortune.
Deadliest Catch is a nail biting series with real consequences. While at sea, these fishermen face nearly 24-hour shifts for days at a time, 40-foot waves, 80-mph winds, subfreezing weather and 700-pound crab pots slamming against the deck…not to mention a nearly 100 percent injury rate.
