Deadliest Catch fans?

[PM5K]

One of the things I really like about this show is that it's one that really delivers, it's not all talk like some shows.

If you've ever seen Ice Road Truckers or Americas Port they often talk about things that could happen, or things that have happened, but nothing ever really happens.

Deadliest Catch on the other hand, I've seen dozens of people get injured, and a handfull of people killed.

The episode where one of the ships EPIRB is going off and nobody can contact them, that's got to be the most intense and gut wrenching hours of television I've ever seen.

Don't get me wrong, I don't want to see people die, but I also don't want to watch a show where all they talk about is how people can get hurt or die and the worst thing that happens is a guy stubs his toe.

I don't remember where I read it, but I thought that Sig had fallen out of favor with the rest of the fleet because he started endorsing some seafood bunch that got all their fish from Russian ships.

I believe they endorsed Russian king crab for sale at wal-mart or something like that. He and his brothers believed endorsing it would raise crab prices. Crab went up something like 8-60 cents a pound afterward.

Many of the fisherman you see work through out the year work normal jobs such as accounting or landscaping or similar. They fish for one month out of the year...because it usually doubles their yearly income.

You can even add Sig as a friend!

Excellent show. The pay is good, but I would never do that job!
