Opilio crab season is eighty-four hours old, and the hunt for Alaskan Gold intensifies as rumors fly about the season closure. This rumor pushes the crews harder, so boats are wondering where to put the extra crab. Other boats are just now hitting the sweet spot, and trying to make up for lost time. Crews are getting fatigued and the pending closure of the season pushes the men harder.
The men fish in a derby-style competition; this will be the last year fishing like this. Everyone wants to make this last run, the best!

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.
