The highlights of season 1 where awesome and the trailers for season 2 where even better. It is amazing what people will do for money.

Good show; the first season was the best IMHO, before they made it a more typical reality show...
always great footage though! |

Some people from the discovery channle were in Gloucester on the waterfront this past week "promoting" the new season and giving away coffee. No big ugly crabs coming outta these waters, wonder if they have some local footage of the commercial guys...

Unfortunately it is the truest reality TV in that guys actually die in the process. In some ways similar to watching the Military channel when they feature the 10th M.D. on patrol. Real People with Real Dangerous Jobs with Real Prices to be paid.
I watch Deadliest Catch and have mixed emotions for these guys in that there must be a way to make the fishery "safer" and still remain lucrative...
I'm not sure, but Redcrbbr - was that the fishery you were in?

I can answer this a little bit for my dad, but he was in this business for the red crabs.. Hence the name... He was a captain of a boat.. so i guess you could say that he was kinda if not rather close to the type of fishing he was into..
And i did happen to catch a episode or two of this series and i was just in awe of this whole job to see what they went threw and all of that and my dad was sitting there and and if i didnt know something, he told me in detail what it was and stuff.. it's a scary job.. |

I liked the behind the scenes showing all the different camera angles. Plus those camera men have to put up with the same conditions for the most part.

I can assure you that offshore commercial scalloping in winter
is not not much different from crab fishing in terms of difficulty and danger.
One would need a crewmember strictly dedicated to filming to document the whole thing, though.
After working 11 straight hours on your feet with no break to speak of,
then having 5 hours to wash up, eat, do bathroom duties, perhaps make a sat phone call home,
wind down, and get your personal gear in order for the next 11 hour watch,
one doesn't feel much like hanging around to video the other watch in action.
The trip I got home from this past Friday was 15 days dock-to-dock working those watches.
Taking an additonal person on board for this purpose would only be possible in an access area,
as new regulations for the new fishing year which began on March 1st, permit unlimited crew size for access area trips.

Sig Hansen is the ONLY guy I would go to sea with in the whole lot of them Rick's boat, Maverick was in bad enough shape they didn't pass the CC inspection for three days. Other wise he would be a possibility.
