Can the golden king crabs be captured? Or will these captains just lose pots and money trying?Ĭaptain Jake Anderson of the F/V Saga wants to try his hand at catching black cod, but they currently don’t have the quota or tools to fish them. Two vessels, the F/V Time Bandit captained by Johnathan Hillstrand and the F/V Cornelia Marie captained by Josh Harris and Casey McManus, secured the bid to be able to catch these elusive crabs. If you can’t catch red king crab, the golden king crab can bring in a big payday – the only problem is they live four times deeper making trapping them exponentially harder. Sig must start from scratch – converting an old coast guard ship into a fishing vessel, learning where these crabs live in the Barents Sea and finding a reliable team of fishermen – all while trying to rush home to be there for the birth of his granddaughter in a few weeks. While most of them decided to seek new species to catch, Captain Sig Hansen from the F/V Northwestern took a giant risk to travel across the world to Norway in search of red king crab. When the Alaskan government announced that they were canceling the red king crab season, all of the captains had to go back to the drawing board to find a new way to be profitable. Are these captains up for the challenge? Or will they pack up and head home empty handed? DEADLIEST CATCH premieres on Tuesday, April 19 at 8 PM ET/PT on Discovery and will be available to stream the same day on Discovery+. Facing financial ruin, each captain is forced to start over and search the Bering Sea for a new way to make a living.
For the first time in 25 years, the Alaskan government shut down red king crab catching for the season. “Over the past 17 seasons, audiences have watched the legendary DEADLIEST CATCH captains navigate treacherous seas, intense rivalries and even saw them fight to stay in business last year when the entire fishery almost shut down – but nothing could have prepared these captains for the loss of fishing the lucrative red king crab. The new season will follow captains of the Alaskan fishing industry as they try to find a way to stay in business when the state’s government shuts down red king crab catching for a season.ĭiscovery Channel revealed the following about the upcoming season with a press release. Discovery Channel has announced a renewal and premiere date for the new season with the release of a trailer. Discovery channel makes more of a fan out of me each year, first "Mythbusters", "Dirty Jobs" and the occasional mini series event (ie: "Planet Earth") The Medical Mystery programs are also fascinating.Deadliest Catch is returning next month for its 18th season. If you want to see real people, and exciting situations, I highly suggest this show! 10/10. This beats the heck out of tired reality shows with rich has been celebrities wining about everything and anything (never watched them anyhow). As serious and dangerous as a job as this is it's nice to see the lightened mood, and the subtle pranks played on each other, and the pots of other boats. (They're braver than I am, I hate the cold.)You also get to know the crew and the different personalities. A highly addicting show as you see the struggles, hours and long shift these brave men throw forward in order to meet their quota of crab. This is the kind of show that sucks you in so far you don't even realize you've been tensely waiting to see what happens next, and the great part is, you least expect it. I never really watched this series and paid any attention to it until about a month ago when Discovery debated their "Planet Earth" series, and this was on afterwords.
