{"product_id":"deadliest-catch-season-1","title":"Deadliest Catch: Season 1","description":"It's the deadliest job on earth: crab fishing off the Alaska coast on the icy Bering Sea, home of the most violent waters on earth. During the five-day \"season\" a handful of adventurers will battle Arctic weather, brutal waves, and a ticking clock for a chance at big money in this modern day gold rush. Working around the clock, and often going days without sleep, this unique breed of men, part adventurer part fisherman, will set out upon an unforgettable odyssey. Sadly, all of them may not return. The world's last gold rush is coming to an end after this season. Starting in 2005 the Department of Fish and Game will give each boat a quota that they may catch at their leisure. This will be the last time King Crab will ever be fished in a frantic derby style. In Crabs 2005, ten one hour episodes will chronicle the struggle and adventure of six boats and their crews as they race against time to catch all the crab they can.\n\nEpisodes:\n\nGreen Horns - It's the first day of work at the world's most deadliest job. 1500 fishermen have converged on Dutch Harbor Alaska for the beginning of the 2005 Alaskan King Crab season. Each man is here to stake his claim on the fourteen million, two hundred and sixty-seven-thousand pounds of Alaskan King Crab and the chance at earning a years wages in just one week. There are 251 boats and 251 Captains with their own strategies for success in the high seas, high stakes business of crab fishing. Old Salts and novices known as greenhorns, make up the crews. One greenhorn is Bradford Davis, a 19-year old college kid proving that he is ready to take on any challenge, while another, is Eric Abrahamson, a 42-year old man looking for the challenge of a lifetime. Fisherman Kevin Davis is just happy for the chance to return. He survived falling overboard last season and now he is back to face his demons and the unrelenting Bering Sea.With a radio countdown, the season begins and the first pots are dumped into the sea. It will be many hours before all the pots are set and even longer before anyone rests. But soon after the start, for The Lucky Lady¹s stabilizer breaks forcing them to fish with a potentially deadly problem. For the other crews, its fish guts and crab pots as they desperately grasp for their piece of the 80 million dollar King Crab pie.\n\nSleepless Nights - After a long sleepless night of baiting and setting crab pots, the fisherman anxiously await the captain's call to begin fishing. Each captain has a different theory on what is the optimal soak time for maximum crab. The first pot pulled of the season sets the mood. Some boats are on the crab, while others are pulling blanks. The early losers, like the Fierce Allegiance, agonize over strategy hoping to make up for a lost catch. Who's got crab and where are they is the question? Winners, like the Northwestern, try to figure out how to keep the crab coming. But for the Western Viking. Its still not time to fish. The Viking has broken bin boards in the storage tank and this present a dangerous environment for the crabs. It has to be fixed, before they can pull in their first pot. Time spent fixing costs this crew serious money. The greenhorns learn quickly, that there's no sympathy.\n\nLady Luck - Its hour 42 of the 2005 Alaskan king crab season and all of the boats in the fleet have dropped their pots. Every captain feels the pressure. They either find crab today or give up their chance at a profitable season. Captain Sig Hansen of the Northwestern is nervous about the spot he's chosen to fish and decides to gamble on a new location. Captain Tony Larussa and the crew of the Fierce Allegiance are feeling the effects of over 40 hours of continuous work, with no crab. On Captain Vince Shavender boat, the Lucky Lady, finding crab is not the problem; his Greenhorn, Kevin Davis, injured his ankle and can't work the deck which forces Captain Vince to make some tough decisions. No one has problems like Captain Coleman Anderson and the Western Viking. They've spent more time fixing the boat, then catching crab and now Captain Coleman's crew are questioning their leadership. As each boat faces their individual challenges, the Alaskan Department of Fish and Game announces an early closure to the season. Each boat has 24 hours to pull the pots they have in the water out. Every one of the final pots counts. The last strings can affect these men and their families for the entire next year.\n\nBeat the Clock - With less than half a day left in the Alaskan King Crab Season, all of the crews are racing the clock to get as much crab into the holding tank before the season closes at midnight. The Fierce Allegiance has finally landed their pots on some crab, but it will take a lot of crab to cover the operating expenses of the largest boat in the fleet. On the Northwestern, Captain Sig's gamble to move his gear has paid off and they'll finish the season with a solid performance.
