[Scruf]

New Season? Didnt know there was one.

1st season was awesome.

Gonna have to check for repeats. Post if you know when it'll re-air.

[3ringsfortom]

every tuesday, CATCH IT !! hosted by Mike (dirty jobs) Rowe

[oaktown2000]

Is it a new season for sure or are they just replaying the ones from last year????

[R. Giles]

last night was just recaps of the first season. the official 2nd season starts next tuesday, which i can't wait for. the show is awesome to see these guys risk there lives for 10,000 dollars with no sleep.

[Shamrock]

Never watched the show. To be honest i never had mutch interest. But then I saw a commercial that had actually shown what they were catching. ****ers are huge!

[jds_cobra]

I have no idea why I like it but I do watch it everytime I come across it.

[Ronzie]

That would be one tough job (mental & physical).
Not for me.

[avsfan21]

As soon as I get paid I plan on buying the first season from the Discovery website. I watch it every tuesday.

[Bronx Bombers]

Its only good when someone falls overboard.;)

[avsfan21]

Like the guy on the last episode that said he was going to jump overboard, because he didnt want to be there any more. Too bad just about everyone that goes overboard ends up dying.

[payton34smith22]

Yea, it's a good show.

[bguppies]

This is the third season of Deadliest Catch isn't it?

Last year they had a season with the King Crab.
Then a few months later they did a separate season with them catching Opelio Crab.
Then they came back this year with the King Crab again.

The first season was better before they started the new rules with each ship already having a maximum they can catch.
Last year when it was as much as you could catch in a certain amount of days was much more stressful.
There was no riding the storms out behind the islands crap that the ships keep pulling this year, with no time limit or rush to catch as much as they can.

Bill

[avsfan21]

Actually the considered the King Crab and Opelio crab as one season. Just a break between it. The dvd set comes with both the King and Opelio crab on it.

It was better without the rules they put into place last year. I guess that is why they havent lost any ships so far this season, people are playing it safer than they use to. Although I kind of want to know what happened to that ship on the last episode, it looked like it capsized but that could just be the camera. That was crazy that it got hit by a 60 foot wave from the side.

[Gooker1]

I really do like this show. It's probably one of the better reality shows out there.

I didn't know they were going to have a second season, so I was stoked when I found out about this new season.

Those rules are meant to keep everyone safe, so it's a safety issue and I don't mind it. It must have sucked for that one boat to have the Coast Guard hang out for 2 plus hours scrutinizing every little detail.

I'm anxious to find out about that one ship next week too.

Are you guys rooting for any particular boat? I know each boat is a different size w/ capacity, but I'm hoping the Northwestern and the boat w/ the father/son combo does well.

[Slytherin Snape]

Are you guys rooting for any particular boat? I know each boat is a different size w/ capacity, but I'm hoping the Northwestern and the boat w/ the father/son combo does well.Northwestern all the way. Sig is the man! :cool:

I also like that crazy deckhand Hiram, on the Maverick.

Can't say I'm too pleased with the Maverick potentially getting turned over to Blake. What's up with that guy? Looks like he should be in a boy band, not out manning up on a fishing boat! :p

[oaktown2000]

doh!!!! Apologies :)

[Slytherin Snape]

doh!!!! Apologies :)No problem. :)

[Hockeyfan74]

This is the most excited I've ever seen people over catching crabs!

[Mack]

Awesome show!!! Those guys are crazy

[POGELOCUS]

Sig is the man!

[Slytherin Snape]

Sig is the man!Sig is the man! :cool:

[Slytherin Snape]

This is the most excited I've ever seen people over catching crabs!LOL!! :D

[Gooker1]

This is the most excited I've ever seen people over catching crabs!

So wrong but so funny.


I was thinking about that kid Blake - he's like 26 or something like that, but apparently he's grown up around it his entire life w/ his dad and now this skipper.

Who knows what this kid has done to get this job, but if the captain has confidence in him to turn the boat over to him, then so be it. It's messed up on both sides - I wouldn't want to disrupt the fishing season either, but if he made a promise to Blake, that's also messed up too.

Go Hansen brothers! :)

[Gooker1]

Halfway point bump

I like how the boats messed w/ eachother last night - comedy

[silvrhawk]

Yeah last night was pretty funny but it looks like the fun is over with all the ice they showed next week

[LI-Mike]

Yea, I love this show..I cant belive theat boat went on its side and then fixed itself..Scary stuff and that Kid who used the hooked and jumped off the side and crashed into the boat..Dude was nuts...

Cant wait for the opelio crab season..Thats some damn cold weather..

[Gooker1]

yea, the next half doesn't look as fun in the ice and snow.

[avsfan21]

Man I am pissed at myself. I got so caught up in the Hockey game I competely forgot that this was on last night. I hope to catch it sometime it reairs before the next episode.

[avsfan21]

Man I just watched the episode from last week. That was crazy. The opelio crab season looks insane with all the ice. Even the pots are just covered in ice. I will try to make sure I dont miss it this week like I did the last.

[avsfan21]

Also looking from the previews, Blake doesnt get to take over as Skipper of the Maverick for the Opelio season either, or at least the start of it.

[LI-Mike]

ttt

[avsfan21]

Blake is such a jack@ss. He quit the boat just because he didnt get to be the captin of the boat when the crew wasnt going to work for him. You have to earn the respect of the crew before you can be the captin.

Man the weather is just crazy. Everything was frozen. I dont know how they could actually enjoy that. Oh well to each his own I guess.

[LI-Mike]

From reading messege boards, Blake did not quit the boat. He and the Capt came to a mutual agreement for the Opialo season..he will be back..

[LI-Mike]

ttt..That Ice they are facing is nuts...

[Gooker1]

From reading messege boards, Blake did not quit the boat. He and the Capt came to a mutual agreement for the Opialo season..he will be back..

Thanks! Didn't know that.

I can't believe they're that close to the ice. I feel bad for the dude who almost got killed when that big chunk of ice hit him in the back instead of the head!!

[R. Giles]

this season is crazy with captains getting right at the ice bank to capture crab. the northwestern are the smart people stay close to shore and stay away from the freezing water.

[Gooker1]

It's all about Sig and his brother! :)

[Avalanchebruins]

The wife and I love this show, trying to figure out how long the crabbing season is for each type and how much these deck hands get paid?

Any help?

[Master Windu]

It depends on the contracts the Boat owner has with the sea food suppliers. Some boats are smaller so they don't get the bigger jobs like the Northwestern gets. They showed the tallies at the end of Season 1 and the crew of the NW Sigs boat each got something like $47-49,000 I forget which. Where some of the smaller boats only made 18k. BTW,Sigs boat netted something like $700,000 total.

[R. Giles]

It also depends on if the ship has trouble. with the cornila maria they netted $800,000 but with engine troubles each deck hand only got $37,000.

[dbrooks55]

Glad to see I'm not the only one that thinks Sig & Edgar are awesome. I keep telling my wife that I'm going to Dutch Harbor to meet Sig & Edgar and throw back a couple of beers in a bar with them! They really seem like cool guys! Northwestern all the way!!!!

[avsfan21]

Sig is the Man. It was great when Edgar got lost trying to find pots when Sig was sleeping a few episodes ago.

[MissAnne2u]

Hubby watches this show religiously ... got me hooked on it too ... excellent show
(but not as good as LOST) LOL

[avsfan21]

Sig is still the man. He might run his crew to death, but the sure get paid for it. That is two seasons of 40,000+ bucks.

On a side note, so much for global warming. It looked pretty cold there to me.

[Gooker1]

LOL - it was a cool season finale last night.

I can't believe Rick from the Maverick fired Pico like that. But from the looks of it, he sounded like he was ready to move on w/ his life anyways.

Yea, Sig runs his crew raw...great suggestions in the suggestion box too. "Shower more than once a month"

Was it last season that Sig yelled at Edgar for screwing the count up? I want to say it was on that boat.

Oh, and WTG for the Rollo fighting back after that count mishap. Did they ever say if they avoided a fine or not?

I think I'm gonna half to get the first season on DVD and this one when it comes out :)

[Log]

Ah nuts... I forgot to set the PVR....

Easily my favourite show on TV!

[R. Giles]

they never said if the Rollo got a fine or not but the crew did get paid with 20 thousand.

The suggestion box idea from Sig was one of the greatest things on the show this season.

[avsfan21]

Wow not off to a good season. Already 1 ship down.

[Thee Ultimate Collector]

great show

[Wofford29]

someone dies this season don't they? at least that's what I saw in a preview on entertainment tonight.

[CJF28]

well, a boat went down, and only one out of the four crew, was rescued by the coast guard

[EDBSIP]

we watch it whenever its on.

my kids love it!

[MissAnne2u]

Hubby and I are totally addicted to this show ... we set the DVR every Tuesday. Haven't watched last nights new episode yet, we'll watch it this weekend.

Oh and they repeat it all week long ... just check your local listings :)

[raydrfn]

Great show!

[Scruf]

Northwestern all the way. I dont care much for his dishes tho.

Spoilers....





















Blake looks lost already as the new captain. Still never set any pots, trying to get info from the other captains. This could get funny quickly. Lots of greenhorns this year, it'll be interesting to see what happens.

[darkestdriver]

Episode one rerun all week 10pm EST FYI!

[raven112]

I feel hungry everytime I watch that show.

[R. Giles]

sweet I need to watch the show from yesterday. Did see the beginning talking about new guys and Captain Phil got another of his kids for the job.

Watched the recap of season 2 before season 3 started and they talked to Sig and Edgar. Was a funny interview.

[rocketsan22]

Anyone know when the new season floats up here in Canada?

[metal_hellspawn]

Never saw the show, I never want to see the show...its crab fishing for god's sake! crab fishing!


....sugar...

[avsfan21]

Yeah and its exciting.

[Gooker1]

Never saw the show, I never want to see the show...its crab fishing for god's sake! crab fishing!


....sugar...

But it's damn entertaining though!

The first episode was pretty good. The crap on the land is boring to me, but it makes sense that people need to get updated for those who have never seen the show. The ending was pretty sad. Did they say what type of boat it was? It didn't sound like a crab boat.

Anyhoo, can't wait for them to get into the thick of things this season. Goo Sig!

[Scruf]

its crab fishing for god's sake! crab fishing!

I cant stand crab or pretty much any seafood for that matter and im absolutely hooked on this show. Thats a testament to how entertaining it is. Its not really even about the crab, its about the struggle, the endurance. Its about putting your life on the line in search of the American dream. Its a modern day goldrush. Some of the pictures out at sea are quite astounding, im just in awe sometimes.

Yeah like when a 60 foot rogue wave hits the boat broad side and flips it over on to its side. That boat is so lucky to still be going after that happened last season.

[oilersRmylife]

I love this show. Very cool.

[Coltsmavs]

Most of these guys and there boats are from Seattle. They sail to Alaska every year for this. I would try the King Crab but, don't think i could handle the Opelio season. My wife said NO to both anyway. I love watching it. It's alot of money for about 2 weeks worth of work but, is it worth risking your life for?? Four guys on that boat and it looks like only one will make it back home. I think they find a body floating on next weeks episode.

[avsfan21]

Wow great job by the Time Bandit crew to save the guy from the other boat. That was one of the dumbest things I have seen from a boat. Having that guy chain pots that close to the water while the boat was rolling so much he was already touching the water.

[Gooker1]

Must agree! Amazing work! What surprises me is that these guys aren't tethered to anything when they're on the side like that. It's not just that boat too, as all the guys do this, just some do it in calmer waters.

[Cygnus]

This is the first season I have watched the show and I am hooked. I put the first season in my Blockbuster queue to rent, although a lot of other people must have had the same idea, because it is a pretty long wait. I will have to see if my local store has it.

[GoLoaf]

Wow great job by the Time Bandit crew to save the guy from the other boat. That was one of the dumbest things I have seen from a boat. Having that guy chain pots that close to the water while the boat was rolling so much he was already touching the water.

That was super-good television. I got all choked-up watching it after the guy started to break-down in the galley.

[Buck Rogers]

One of best shows on TV, and none of the big news outlets have picked up on it yet, they did 15 minute spots for Andy Richters short lived piece of crap, but never even a mention of this show... I really enjoy this show.

[POGELOCUS]

I love Sig's robots!:D

[SHACKS-STUFF]

I like to watch it sometimes but I wouldn't buy the dvd....Pretty crazy job
Now we know why crab cost so much!

[avsfan21]

Wow that was insane the Time Bandit going through that ice. You would think that these boats would have semi-thicker hauls knowing they will almost always have to deal with ice.

[avsfan21]

Edgar is insane, the dude will put anything in his mouth I swear.

[R. Giles]

I would say the Northwestern's greenhorn would do anything to get the jacket Sig had on.

[Durstlimpbizkit]

Edgar is insane, the dude will put anything in his mouth I swear.

Yea I stop eating if I see him on screen.

[Gooker1]

Yea I stop eating if I see him on screen.

LOL - Hydrolic fluid, cod heart, herring head, etc - Edgar is HI-larious. The Northwestern rocks. If i was on that boat like that greenhorn, i'd try to get that jacket too. But hearing those stories about sea sickness from "after the catch" is insane. I think all of us would say they could handle it, but until you're out there, we'll never know. Seriously...i think I coudl do this, but I'd probably be the one in the cabin dead sick.

Nothing but respect for those guys.

[GoLoaf]

Do you guys know how long the season is? they're making ~$40k per deckhand for the opie season, but is that over a week, two weeks, three weeks?

[raydrfn]

Great show last night. I have really enjoyed the After the Catch mini series the last few weeks as well.

[R. Giles]

Do you guys know how long the season is? they're making ~$40k per deckhand for the opie season, but is that over a week, two weeks, three weeks?

I believe the King crab season is 2 weeks so is the Opie season.

[EDBSIP]

you could spend a month on board (2 weeks each crab season) and take the rest of the year off with 80K in the bank! :eek:

but you could also lose your life, so those guys are paid accordingly

[bguppies]

You also have to hook on with the right boat and captain to be able to get the $40,000+ paychecks. (not every boat that actually goes fishing appears on the show. Only the small percentage that agree for the camera crews on board. For instance, the boat that the guy got rescued by Jonathan and the Time Bandit, was fishing for crab, but not on the show, other than the rescue.)
And that is after serving a few seasons as a greenhorn for half shares.

[Gooker1]

Heads up everyone! i hope you guys are aware of the special that aired today and is airing now in the west coast regarding a behind the scenes look of the cameramen behind the show.

It's pretty sweet!

It looked painful as all hell when they got slipped in the hole

[EDBSIP]

Heads up everyone! i hope you guys are aware of the special that aired today and is airing now in the west coast regarding a behind the scenes look of the cameramen behind the show.

It's pretty sweet!

I caught some of that today!

[avsfan21]

I will have to catch a reair, or hopefully they will stick that and the after the catch on the season 3 dvd release.

[Gooker1]

I felt that the behind the scenes w/ the camera crew was a lot better than After the catch.
