Crab fishing in the Bering Sea - considered the worlds most dangerous job. These men risk their lives every time they step on deck.

Sorry to disagree, the world's most dangerous job is a tie between moderating XMTS and telling my wife I forgot to buy her cigarettes.

So what is that show, some sort of reality deal with cameras on the boat and the like?

MY cousin fishes out of Dutch Harbor..mostly cod though. He has met several of the DC cast. Gotten drunk with a few of them too.

The Time Bandit and Cornelia Marie are my faves with The Northwestern a close second.
I cant stand Capt. Keith and the Wizard.

Now THAT'S the truth!

Yeah - its amazing how well they cover the story. If you happen by TV next week the season ender documents the fleet in a rare winter Bering Sea hurricane. Positively unthinkable.

these guys are crabbing in rough seas...but its more than just that.. its their lively hood and you want these guys to succeed, sometimes they do, and sometimes they bust..
Yeah, its a reality show.. with real life action, no games other than the jokes they play on each other..

Its painfully real - people can and do die out there every year. That is one of the unflinching truths this show deals with.

Don't forget the Coast Guard who have to go out and save their Butts when they get in trouble. They Have to go out. They Don't have to come back.
