Anyone watch "deadliest Catch" on Discovery?
 

This series has been running a while now on Discovery channel. Although I don't like crab, or any seafood for that matter...it's amazing how much work these guys do to bring in their catch. Dangerous as hell too!

These are real guys out there trying to make a living so I'd hope Discovery Networks pays these guys something. (Highly rated series with some big-name sponsers).I mean surely the camera crew must be a PITA sometimes, but who knows....maybe it is the crew themselves doing the all the camera work.

Anyway, I like watching this series. Interesting stuff. Any you guys into this show at all?

Yeah. Scary shit. Real men only need apply.

Tune in every Tuesday, we do! :thmbsp:

Yes sir, the Deadliest Catch / Survivorman lineup is a good'n.

Usually clashes my lady's favorite programs, soooo... I've only seen a few episodes.

It's great to get a look into a world so many have heard so much about, but so few have lived / seen. I get the impression of a poker game attitude between the skippers sometimes, but I'm a huge dork.

Killer show. Worth staying up for. As for the camera crews I hope they get payed well as the danger is very real to them also.

Yes, that is some crazy shit, there can't be many jobs worse than that - except for maybe the psycho holding the camera!

Funny when the greenhorn newbie freaked out, and wanted off the boat in the middle of the ocean!

Bird dog... get 'em yet? :D You know, "them"? :music:

One helluva tough job. A friend ogf mine went to do that but he was a bit too heavy- they were afraid he wouldn't be able to do the work due to his weight. But I give him credit for trying.

I just had King crab legs the first time recently. If I was on that boat, I'd be eating all the profits...

I actually worked on a crab boat (The Eskimo Princess) for a full year back in 1979/80 up in Kodiak, Alaska. I never crabbed out in the Berring Sea like those goofball's on deadliest catch. We only had a 60 foot steel crab boat and just fished around the island of Kodiak. My brother actually still lives up in Kodiak, he's been there since 1971. He was working as a purchasing agent at one of the big canneries in town and got me a job on the maintenance crew. That lasted for the first summer I was up there and then I landed the job on the crab boat. Hell of an experience I had, some good stories to tell my grand kids, when I have some...

Tough, job, but.......

They make a LOT of money in a VERY short time(about a month or so, avg about $25k!!)

(of course, you have to be ALIVE to enjoy the money after the fishing tour!!)

I have NO doubt that I could NOT do that job!!

Yes, I watch it a lot. I thought it was funny, about the greenhorn wanting to jump off the boat in the middle of the sea!! And also, the stunt the other one did, when he swang off the boat (like tarzian or something)holding only onto a cable or something to prevent him from falling into the freezing water!!(DUMB!!)

big bump on this one...

Deadliest Catch starts a new season this Tuesday, April 15. I'm looking forward to it. :thmbsp: Any other fans out there?

Love the show and watch whenever I can.

I've seen them all and look forward to the new season.

Me and the misses love that show, and most Discovery shows
