Line 4:
''[[Deadliest Catch]]'' is a long-running (in its 8th season and counting) [[Reality TV]] show on The [[Discovery Channel]] that follows crews of fishermen during their two seasons on the rough Bering Sea seeking a valuable commodity -- the [[Giant Enemy Crab|enormous red king crab]] around October, and the opilio or snow crab around January. It is repeatedly stated that this is the "deadliest job in the world", and tragedy does occur, such as the sinking of other ships, as well as serious injuries and near-fatal accidents on the featured boats. The opilio season is particularly dangerous due to weather concerns. The show debuted in April, 2005 and is still ongoing.
The show currently{{when}} revolves around six main boats:
* ''Northwestern''
** '''Captain''': Sig Hansen (co-owner)
Line 32:
In the 8th season (2012) Jake and Josh Harris are no longer on the ''Cornelia Marie'' but instead working as deckhands on, respectively, the ''Northwestern'' and the ''Time Bandit''. According to the season premiere, the brothers didn't make enough money to finance another trip, with owner Cornelia Devlin instead having the boat fish as a trawler, again under captain Tony Lara.
