It has already been a dramatic few weeks on Deadliest Catch and now the captains are looking to strike it rich or strike out in the final days of king crab fishing. During the season’s penultimate episode, which aired October 15, the clock was ticking with a lot on the line.
Things were especially stressful for Captain Jake Anderson who was 8,000 short of his crab quota aboard the F/V Titan Explorer. To make matters worse the weather wasn’t cooperating and huge waves caused massive problems. On the positive side, deckhand Chino was back at it after being struck in the head with a crab pot. He showed that he is one tough dude, getting back out there under some intense conditions on the Bering Sea.
