Deadliest Catch

I watched the first season of this show and was hooked. I used to think that I'd like to move down to FL and work on a fishing boat but changed my mind after watching that show. Not that it would be as rough in the Gulf, but still...

After watching that show (and I am hooked on it) I did a post several months ago where I vowed never to complain about the price of crab again :cool:

If you want to see how those delicious king crabs are caught this is a must see. You won't be able to stop watching! Tomorrow night at 9:00 est. on the Discovery channel! :clap_1:

Oh, I love that show! Seems everybody who watches it gets "hooked." (Pun intended!)

My kids and I love this show!! new season starts on Tuesday :clap_1:

Crabbing in the Bering Sea looks like a mighty miserable way to earn a buck! :shock:

It could be a large buck. They get a percentage of the take. They can make their years pay for a few weeks of brutal work!

Yes, they make a ton of money in a short amount of time, but it is life-threatening work. A great book on the subject is The Perfect Storm by Sebastian Junger. (Forget the movie - it was ridiculous). But the book described the brutal life of commercial fishermen. You do understand why seafood costs so much.

Johnrudy, I know you'll think I'm joking when I say this, but I miss Phil Spector. The day I was scrolling the page and he jumped out, I laughed and laughed and laughed--you made my day!

I understand, and I do not mind paying. Those giant legs are the best! I definitely respect what they go through for them, that is why I love the show. :cool:

I guess only someone in the music business can "appreciate" Phil S. He is so bizarre tho. I'll bring him back when you least expect it. ;-)

He might have to change it if he goes to jail. His murder trial is delayed, but now an aide has accused him of sexual harrassment.

I agree about the danger of the fishing life as described in The Perfect Storm.
Linda Greenlaw,the captain of the sister ship to the lost swordfishing boat, later tried her hand as a lobsterman, and the result was this book:
The Lobster Chronicles
Not an easy life.
