World's Deadliest Catch

Dirty Jobs is in between seasons so I will be writing about The World’s Deadliest Catch. This is a reality show on the dangers of crab fishing. This week there was some trouble one of the boats. There was a very large storm and one of the boats capsized. This left 4 crew members in the water and only one survived this horrible ordeal. This shows just how much people are willing to risk in order to make a large amount of money in a very short time. The crab boats take off from a port in Alaska and fish near the Bearing Straight. They use large metal traps to catch the crab in order to fill the year’s quota. There is a lot of risk involved for these crew members, the seas are very unpredictable during the crab season and profits are never guaranteed. The crews are putting multi- million dollar boats as well as their lives on the line in hopes of a large payday.
