Features: DVD
Howling winds fierce enough to knock people off their feet, tossing waves, frigid temperatures. Swinging 700-pound crab pots for hours. Guaranteed injuries. That's the life of an Alaskan crab fisherman. He can earn enough money in a few months for a family to live on for a year or more. But it's also one of the deadliest, most backbreaking jobs there is. For these men, many second- and third-generation fishermen, working to the brink of exhaustion is more than just a job - it's a matter of pride. Crews continue to forge into the frigid Bering Sea to compete against not only Mother Nature, but also against each other as they struggle in an increasingly regulated and cut-throat world to maintain a family tradition that has lasted for generations.This three disc collection includes all 12 episodes from The Complete Second Season of Deadliest Catch!
"...riveting stuff from the first moment...a powerful series, quite easy to get hooked on and highly recommended." CurrentFilm.com
"In an age in which nearly all work is virtual, these guys are tough and raw and real." Men's Journal

Forget Survivor. This is the real thing, with each day potentially a fisherman's last. Why do they do it? Because a single king crab is worth $25-$35 on the market, and the goal for many boats is a 10,000-crab haul during a season that's based on a quota set by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game...Sometimes the season lasts just 80 hours, during which time crewmembers go without sleep and brave the elements for the chance to make enough money to last them till next year. But as one old-timer says, it's not just a job--it's a lifestyle, and this Discovery Channel documentary series puts you right in the middle of things...Odds are that people who watch this show are going to find themselves rooting for favorite boats, captains, and crews so much that every pot--no matter how many times you see it pulled--starts to feel like your own high-stakes game. - James Plath
