(2 hour episode) The episode starts with Captain Keith Colburn doing a voice-over of Wizard footage from the upcoming season: "The younger guys comin' up, I don't think they respect the fishery. You know what's different? It's called 'entitlement'." Switching to footage of four offspring of Alaska crabbers: Saga - Captain Elliott Neese says "This job is for the elite. The rest of these guys can go to pasture." Northwestern - 18-year-old Mandy Hansen, daughter of Captain Sig and niece of Edgar and Norman says "I'm doing it. At some point I have to. It's in my blood." Cornelia Marie - Captain Josh Harris says "I'm just doing what I know to do, instead of what other people tell me I should be doing." Seabrooke - Captain Scott Campbell Jr. says "If you can't tow your weight, it's time for you to go." Over footage of the Hillstrands on the Time Bandit and Wizard and Northwestern decks, Keith says, "You want to be top dog?", before switching to him sitting in the Wizard wheelhouse saying "Be careful what you wish for." More season preview footage before the opening credits roll.
The shutdown ends, and the fleet scrambles to get quotas, fuel, and hit the sea. In many ways, the season will have the feel of the old derby system, to get to the crab first, catch as many as you can, and deliver them in time for the early November holiday season deadlines.
The episode opens with a montage of audio of Captain Phil Harris and video of Phil, Josh and Jake Harris on the Cornelia Marie, Derrick Ray and Andy Hillstrand, spliced with present-day footage of Josh flying into Dutch Harbor and driving out to the dock where the CM is berthed. Josh stops the truck and gets out about half-way through what the aeral pull back reveals to be the crab pot stacks, and as the pull back finishes we see the entire port side of the CM at dock before the opening credits. (The episode title is taken from Josh's line about "betting it all on blue, Cornelia Marie blue" from late in season 9).
Picking up where the previous episode left off, Cornelia Marie pulls its first Opilio pots since 2011, and the entire prospect string for Captains Josh and Casey comes up blanks, a first for any Josh-set string. Josh gives the crew a pep talk before they head off for hopefully better fishing.
Deadliest Catch narrator Mike Rowe hosted all episodes except After the Catch III, when Cash Cab's Ben Bailey hosted. After the Catch IV-VI began airing before the current season of Deadliest Catch was over, usually around the start of Opilio season.
The Bait was a "pregame show" roundtable documentary-style television mini-series that previews select episodes of Deadliest Catch for seasons 9 and 10, filmed in Dutch Harbor, and hosted by Sig Hansen, Johnathan and Andy Hillstrand, and Keith Colburn, with narration by Deadliest Catch narrator Mike Rowe.
Mike Rowe's introduction to the episode, over fist fights and a flaming hook, sums up the first half of 2012 King Crab season perfectly: "The fiery battles continue throughout the Bering Sea: for turf, for survival, and for the Deadliest Catch. So before tonight's new episode, the Captains are set to hash it out and crank you up."
Continuing on last week's old vs. young theme, they talk about how captains typically took five years or longer (and presumed past age 30) to go from working a deck to the wheelhouse, and many young guys, like Josh Harris and Jake Anderson are trying to get there before age 30, as well as Edgar wanting a crack at captaining Northwestern for Blue King Crab season. And as highlights from the episode air, Edgar reminds viewers that the "SH" letters on the vessel's shield "do not stand for Sig Hansen" (they stand for Sverre Hansen, their father); Wild Bill trying to educate his son Zack in a hurry on how to fish crab; Junior and Elliott trying to catch blues.
The Captains kick off by discussing what they would change about this opilio season, knowing what they know now. Keith would not have gone as far north nor let so much ice build up; Andy wished he had caught his hydraulic leak sooner, leading into a previews of do-over wishes from that night's episode on the Cape Caution, Time Bandit, and Cornelia Marie and recaps of the Wizard and Cornelia Marie injuries from a few weeks earlier.
In the ninth season in 2013, Discovery continued the trend of expanded show notes and unaired scenes in its series with Deadliest Catch: On Deck.[35] On Deck episode titles are the same as the Deadliest Catch episode they expand on.
It's the deadliest job on earth: crab fishing off the Alaskan coast on the icy Bering Sea. The two-hour season premiere of #DeadliestCatch is on Tuesday, April 19 at 8p on Discovery and streaming on discovery+.
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 25 YEARS THE TENACIOUS "DEADLIEST CATCH" CAPTAINS MUST SEARCH THE SEAS FOR A NEW WAY TO EARN A LIVING WHEN RED KING CRAB FISHING IS SHUT DOWN FOR THE SEASON Only The Strong Will Survive - The Captains Who Are Smart and Willing to Fight for Their Livelihoods DEADLIEST CATCH Kicks Off Its 18th Season With a 2-Hour Premiere Tuesday, April 19 at 8 PM ET/PT on Discovery (LOS ANGELES) - Over the past 17 seasons, audiences have watched the legendary DEADLIEST CATCH captains navigate treacherous seas, intense rivalries and even saw them fight to stay in business last year when the entire fishery almost shut down - but nothing could have prepared these captains for the loss of fishing the lucrative red king crab. For the first time in 25 years, the Alaskan government shut down red king crab catching for the season. Facing financial ruin, each captain is forced to start over and search the Bering Sea for a new way to make a living. Are these captains up for the challenge? Or will they pack up and head home empty handed? DEADLIEST CATCH premieres on Tuesday, April 19 at 8 PM ET/PT on Discovery and will be available to stream the same day on discovery+. When the Alaskan government announced that they were canceling the red king crab season, all of the captains had to go back to the drawing board to find a new way to be profitable. While most of them decided to seek new species to catch, Captain Sig Hansen from the F/V Northwestern took a giant risk to travel across the world to Norway in search of red king crab. Sig must start from scratch - converting an old coast guard ship into a fishing vessel, learning where these crabs live in the Barents Sea and finding a reliable team of fishermen - all while trying to rush home to be there for the birth of his granddaughter in a few weeks. Will Sig's gamble pay off? If you can't catch red king crab, the golden king crab can bring in a big payday - the only problem is they live four times deeper making trapping them exponentially harder. Two vessels, the F/V Time Bandit captained by Johnathan Hillstrand and the F/V Cornelia Marie captained by Josh Harris and Casey McManus, secured the bid to be able to catch these elusive crabs. Can the golden king crabs be captured? Or will these captains just lose pots and money trying? Captain Jake Anderson of the F/V Saga wants to try his hand at catching black cod, but they currently don't have the quota or tools to fish them. Jake turns to captain Sean Dwyer of the F/V Elinore J to secure black cod quota, but Sean only accepts the deal if Jake offers the pink slip of the F/V Saga as collateral. Jake's crew will need to learn how to catch black cod. If not, he may need to consider giving the F/V Saga away. Instead of catching black cod, Sean Dwyer of the F/V Elinore J has decided to catch Dungeness crab. While they don't bring in as much money, there is no limit on how many his crew can catch. Will they be able to crab enough to make a profit? After suffering the loss of a crewmember on the deck of the F/V Patricia Lee last fishing season, captain Rip Cartson is trying to protect his crew at all costs. His crew is working hard and they are all doing this to honor their friend. Captain Keith Colburn's vessel, the F/V Wizard, still needs some repairs but he is going to set his sights catching bairdi snow crab. Will the F/V Wizard make it through the season?
