 Awesome!
I love Deadliest Catch and I have been a fan since the begining! This is one of the best shows out there! I love Sig on the F/V Northwestern! There is something about this show that makes me want to go up there and work in Alaska. I am very happy with my order!
Wonderful show and delivery was FAST!!!
Thank you Amazon for the quick delivery! Both seasons arrived in a perfect package and on time. Will definitely do business with again!!
Fabulous series!
This is a really fabulous series! I bought this first season for my father, who saw this show once and was hooked. My husband is also an avid watcher. If you enjoy the show, you may also want to check out the book "Time Bandit" by the captains Andy and Johnathan Hillstrand. It was an amazing read!
IN THE COMPANY OF FISHERS
Seeing these episodes in the warm safety of our living room, my neighbors still wonder why men do this. My wife asks, how can anybody deal with the extreme risk day in and day out? What ties the crew together? What are they really like?
She doesn't hear me explain. After years of marriage sometimes we communicate better without words. Spoken or written, I still can't seem to break the cognitive barrier between a woman's perceptions in a cozy living room, and the reality of working in Alaska waters.
After a career in the maritime industry having worked on every Alaska harbor over the last 40 plus years, I have to say The Deadliest Catch is tops. If it can help my landlubber neighbors and friends actually admit that commercial fishing is a high risk venture, the show is coming through.
There is a book called IN THE COMPANY OF FISHERS being sold on Amazon. It follows a day in the life of Moosemeat John, Alaska's oldest fisherman as he recalls his triumphs, failures, fulfillments, interruptions, loves and losses. He is from the generation of men that fathered the crew on the Cornelia Marie and the rest of the fleet. Read the book and you will learn what is in the blood of these men and why the call of the Bering Sea, Gulf of Alaska, Bristol Bay, and Prince William Sound is unshakeable. Find out how their women feel about their choice.
The show is excellent. Some people need to know more about the fleet though. The Deadliest Catch might want to spend a little time showing and explaining the vessels. How/where are they built? What does it take to run one and keep it in top condition? Take us to a shipyard and show us one out of the water. Have a shipwright talk to us about variations in the designs. -- Wishing You All Smooth Seas and Fair Weather -- Ken Boire
 Interesting for awhile
The first few episodes are interesting but he show drags a bit as it goes on.
