Description
"Forty-foot waves, freezing temperatures, swinging 700-pound crab pots, a nearly 100-percent injury rate-- but also the chance to earn enough money for a family to live on for a year for just a few days' work. Welcome to one of the world's deadliest jobs: the Alaskan crab fisherman."--Container.
Description
Greenhorns: 1,500 fishermen converge on Dutch harbor for the start of crab season. Each man is here for the chance to earn a year's wages in just one week.
Description
Long sleepless nights: After a long night of baiting and setting crab pots, the men anxiously await the captain's call to begin pulling them back up.
Description
Lady luck: Every captain feels the pressure as the Alaskan Department of Fish and Game announces an early closure to the season in just 24 more hours.
Description
Beat the clock: With fewer than 12 hours remaining, the crews race to bring in as much crab as quickly as they can.
Description
Dead of winter: With only six hours of daylight, the king crab season winds down and the Opilio "snow" crab frenzy begins; the remaining boats quickly head for the next prize.
Description
Man overboard: With one boat sunk and its crew missing, several good Samaritans comb the frigid waters of the Bering Sea for survivors. The tragic news travels fast, but those too far away to help concentrate on the baiting and setting of pots.
Description
High hopes: Less than a day into the snow crab season, the Bering Sea has already claimed six lives. Despite the losses, the men stay upbeat as they begin to pull in their pots, and the seas begin to calm.
Description
Good fishing: Unseasonable warm weather and calm seas have contributed to three days of record catches. But, when one boat experiences an electrical fire in the engine room, the crew must scramble to fix the problem.
Description
The clock's ticking: Eighty-four hours into the Opilio season, the hunt for crab intensifies as rumors of a possible closure prompt the men to push even harder. Some boats enjoy great success, while others desperately try to make up for their slow start.
Description
The final run: A new race begins: back to port. Each captain decides where to unload their catch, competing for the best spot in line at the processor. Crab won't last forever, and a wait could mean tens of thousands of dollars.
