Increasingly popular “fly on the wall” documentary series, Dealiest Catch has now returned to our screens every Tuesday at 9 pm e/p.

The Emmy-nominated Discovery Channel series Deadliest Catch returned Tuesday, April 3, for a new season of daring adventures on the rough seas. Viewers are once again shipped to the Bering Sea and witness the brave captains and crew of eight crab-fishing boats as they battle against the treacherous weather conditions doing one of the deadliest — and most lucrative — jobs in the world.

This season, which is currently being filmed as boats head out from the Aleutian Islands port of Dutch Harbor (located in Unalaska, Alaska) throughout two of the dangerous crab fishing seasons, the October king crab (frequently called “red crab” or “red gold” by crew members) season and the January opilio crab season.
Viewers experience life above and below the Alaskan waters.
Submersible cameras capture unprecedented underwater images of crabs migrating on the bottom of the Bering Sea and entering the crab pots.

Additionally,, footage shot from a “chase boat” shows just how diminutive these crab boats actually are in the midst of the Bering Sea. For the series first, viewers see the fishing vessels being tossed around like toy boats by the feroceous winds and life threatening seas. The unique angle will also offer a new perspective of the fishermen working the rails, setting and hauling the massive 800-pound crab pots as their boats fight the crashing waves.

This season, viewers will get a more personal look at the men who risk their lives in search of modern-day buried treasure — Alaskan crab.

Returning to Deadliest Catch this year are the men of the Northwestern, led by the popular Captain Sig Hansen; Captain Phil Harris and his crew of the Cornelia Marie, including sons Jake and greenhorn Josh; Captain Johnathan Hillstrand (king crab season) and Captain Andy Hillstrand (opilio crab season) of the Time Bandit; and greenhorn Captain Blake Painter (king crab season) of the Maverick and his new hand-picked crew, along with Rick Quashnick (opilio crab season) with his wife Donna.

New to Deadliest Catch screens this season are the crew of the Wizard, led by Captain Keith Colburn; Captain Greg Moncrief of the Farwest Leader, who is joined on board by his wife Ragnhild; Captain Allen Oakley of the Early Dawn and his crew, including greenhorn Bryan Mezich; and the crew of the Aleutian Ballad, with Captain Corky Tilley at the helm and son Matthew and daughter Nicole on deck.
