Deadliest Catch Season 5: King Crab Season (2009)
Storytline: A documentary series chronicling the real-life high-sea adventures of the Alaskan crab fishermen. This is the most deadly profession in the world.
Review: I began watching this show about 2 weeks ago since it's first season and I have to say that I became addicted to it. The difficulties that the fishermen pass in a day to day bases is thrilling and scary since it's the deadliest job in the world and you can see that if you watch the show.
Since I'm late to review the other seasons I'm going to start with this season 5 the current one that I'm watching.
In this season 5, was the best king crab season for one and the worst for others.
The crew for Discovery Channel follow the best 4 boats of the fleet, which are Northwestern, Time Bandit, The Wizard, Cornelia Marie.
At the begining of the season Phil the captain from the Cornelia Marie boat received a call from his doctor saying that he could go fishing because he still had some blood clot and had to be guarded 24 hour a day, so he left the boat in charge to his most experience deckhand.
The season in the Cornelia Marie didn't go as planned and in the offload there were too many crab dead because they spent to much time in the boat.
In the Time Bandit they beated the record and made in to offload 8 days earlier than expected.
In the Wizard the Captain received some good news, because of his past habits with tobaco, he was afraid of having throat cancer but he was good. In regards of the crab not so good because they didn't buy enough bait to set the pots, then they were losing pots and the captain had to go under water to see what was going on and crippled himself by hitting his head on the boat but he made it out ok. But in the end he reached the quota without any dead crab.
The Northwestern is the best boat in the fleet at least to me it is and Sig Hansen his the best captain. He had some bad moments but than he found the crab filling his tanks all the way up. And his crew is the best including the greenhorn Jack.
