This Opilio season has been a deadly one, with the passings of the Big Valley crew. Boats are reaching their limit, but keep going to catch the years wages in 24 hours. As the last few hours tick down the second leg of the race begins, to the processing plant. Off-loading is done on a first-come-first-serve basis, decisions are critical of when to head back to port. Crab wont last forever on a boat; their place in line would be hours or days. Days could cost thousand in dead crab.
Season 1 Episode 10 of Deadliest Catch resulted in a 0.00 rating in the 18-49 demographic.
It's the world's deadliest job-where a man could die every week-the most macho of manly occupations: the Alaskan crab fisherman. Deadliest Catch features the wild and treacherous life of the crab fisherman.
This dramatic series will document the end of an era-what veteran crab fishermen are calling "The Last Rodeo". The first season documents the last time race, as it is the last season where they are pitted against the clock.
Later seasons contains a less action packed theme, and delves deeper into the lives and minds of those on the boats. We follow the crews through laughter and sorrow while on the hunt for crab.
The series is dedicated to the brave men and women lost at sea, and to the families they left behind. And to Phil Harris, the captain of the Cornelia Marie, who died on February 9, 2010.
