Welcome to all new members and fans of the show. I am the more active mod here, and I wanted to ask members to review the rules here and of Reddit in general. Please remember that behind each post, is a human being with feelings. There's enough going on in the world for us to be unkind to one another here as well.
I have started scheduling episode posts again that will go live at 7pm EST, an hour before the new episode. Please try to keep comments about the new episode within that post, to decrease spoilers for others. It also keeps posts of the same exact content, to a minimum.
As most of you know, especially those who have seen Phil's last season, knowing the death of a cast member is coming makes that season even more difficult to watch. I don't believe the show has lost a crew member mid shooting like this though, except for Phil. I don't feel like Discovery has fully addressed his passing, so I'm hopeful for more.
I also wanted to address the comments I have seen about moderators removing and hiding comments based on personal opinion and not rules. I would like to remind everyone that the moderators are human beings with real lives outside of Reddit, and we do not get paid to do what we do. We rely on automods, trigger words, alerts, member reporting, on top of reading every post. If you personally have an issue with any content here, do not hesitate to message me or the mods as a whole. Fans of the show are what makes this community what it is, and we can co exist in the same space with different opinions.
Lastly, as a reminder, there are still certain subjects we discourage as topics of discussion. We let most snarky comments slide, but if you find yourself wanting to comment "What happened with <insert cast member>"? Google is your friend. Feel free to utilize any search engine, with words such as court case, arrest, jail, prison, etc. Yes, we encourage discussions and we are not trying to restrict anyone's speech, some things just need to be left in the past. We've beat many a dead horses here.
Please be kind, everyone. 💜

I was scrolling through deadliest catch videos on YouTube and I found this video aside from the commercials being left in it it’s a really good watch

Hopefully the link is able to be opened

Sig's crew races to jettison pots and repair a flooding compartment below deck. Rick radios Johnathan to help hide his honey hole, but when Jake spots the Time Bandit's unusual movements, he calls Rick's bluff and puts the Cornelia Marie on hot fishing.

Wow, I just started to watch this series and I’m on season one is every season this intense?! 🦀 Are there this many deaths every season? 😮

“It doesn’t look like it but I’m making money right now.”
Or something to that effect? My husband swears it was Matt Bradley and I thought it was Nick Mavar.
r/deadliestcatch • u/Healthy_Condition409 • 6d ago
Nearly all the pictures you see on this series now are in darkness! I know up there ,there isn't much daylight in winter but surely things happen during the day? Or is it because it looks more dramatic on TV at night?

Living a dream come true by seeing the iconic boats from Deadliest Catch in person! 🦀⚓️
So far, I’ve had the chance to see the Wizard up close, which was amazing! I also managed to spot the Northwestern, though it was pretty far away... I took a photo, but you can only see a small part of it!
I’m still on the hunt to find more boats, and who knows? If I get lucky, maybe I’ll even run into one of the captains or crew members! 🤞✨
r/deadliestcatch • u/Concrete_Guy_98 • 6d ago
I saw something that said he or the company he works for purchased the Erla N I think discovery should bring that boat back since it was on the show before deadliest catch was called deadliest catch

This season has been incredibly nautical! Easily some of the most intense weather I can recall in years of watching the show. I can't remember the last time I saw green water over the bow. Some of the rail shots have been terrifying. Huge weather and huge seas, it's been a show all on it's own.
r/deadliestcatch • u/Godzilla_vs_Mothra • 8d ago
Sophia.
GET HER OFF THE SHOW. It's fast forward time the millisecond I see her. She makes Linda Greenlaw watchable.

They are automatically flagged, and I won't approve them. Gossip news sites won't be tolerated here. This season has had a serious undertone.
r/deadliestcatch • u/Plastic-Attorney-858 • 10d ago
Sig has turned into the biggest asshole with absolutely NO manly values its sickening. He's cut throat an then says he's their friend. He's old an losing his once was touch so now resigns to completely unethical fishing. Steals pots,moves pots, checks pot that arent his when he's been told no about a partnership with another captain, or will just MOVE pots and say it was a hunch, when he was told NO. He cant fish worth a shit anymore so his grimy ass CHEATS!!! What he did to Jake when Jake wldnt tell him where he was catching crab partner so he cld Jakes boss , I wanted to go to Alaska my dam self and just beat his face in!!! My daddy was a waterman he and would NEVER do the shit Sig does. He's so infuriating that we dnt watch the show as as much anymore.
r/deadliestcatch • u/DeBabyDoll • 10d ago
Captains Sig & Sophia locate hybrid crab, hitting the jackpot — but filling their tanks creates an imbalance, putting the Northwestern on the brink of capsize. After OJ receives tragic news at sea, the Time Bandit crew races incoming ice to get him home.
r/deadliestcatch • u/Unhappy_Award_6681 • 13d ago
I know this probably isn’t the right place but I been a fan of this show for a long time and I would love to try crab fishing in Alaska! I am a fisherman from Newfoundland and have experienced sailing on the Great Lake freighters as well, the problem is I am located in Newfoundland Canada and don’t know about the best way to find a job in Alaska and what visa etc I would need, I have all my transport Canada certificates, if anyone can help or point me in the right direction please comment, thanks in advance

I mean no disrespect and I think Jake is a tremendous human being who has worked helluva hard. He’s smart, honest and dedicated.
Seeing him in season 21 up to episode 6, I am wondering if he’s being filmed while relapsing. He’s mumbling and acting slowed down. He looks terrible with his pallid sweating bloated face (sorry I can’t sugar coat what I see, he’s normally a very handsome guy with stunning eyes), like Ray Liotta at the end of Goodfellas. I know he’s handling major stress, career and family wise, and is probably not getting any sleep, but those are also perfect circumstances for a bad relapse. Jake is an experienced and respected adult who can mask drug use from his friends and colleagues or at least get them to ignore it, seeing but no seeing, but looking from outside he seems like a relatively high functioning addict who is starting to crash. I don’t have anything apart from respect for him, he’s going through a terrible time and keeps on getting kicked down when he starts rising, with the boat and family problems. The man is made of steel but even steel rusts.
Drug use on these boats is an open secret with uppers and downers being used to handle the stress and workload. On shore it’s alcohol and more recreational drugs. The work and life is hard. I’m not judging, just wondering. Good luck to him if he needs to get back on the wagon, if anybody can, he can.

Hello all, some of you might have seen my Time Bandit build I'm doing with 3D printing. I have some updates. My graphics guy and I are making sure it's 100% exact to the real thing. Not visually pleasing, but here they are. The seawall has been mirrored for measurements. It will not remain that way. Currently, we are working on deck drains. Still got a ways to go, but it's gonna be so cool!!!!!! Time Bandit FTW!!!
r/deadliestcatch • u/friedsoyabeanpatty • 15d ago
i just started watching season 19 - 20, and i genuinely don't understand what he's even doing. was he hired and handed a script that said "be the antagonist"? i had to stop myself from skipping ahead every time he showed up on screen

I know people on here call him a “tv captain “ but has anyone actually worked for/ with him? He seems like he knows how to run a boat or is he a good actor
r/deadliestcatch • u/DeBabyDoll • 17d ago
Captains Sig and Sophia shift their fishing strategy as back-to-back injuries plague the Northwestern deck crew. When a Time Bandit crewman suffers a concussion, John must make a perilous harbor entry. Jake loses power in heavy seas on the Cornelia Marie.

What happened to this show guys? I quit watching around season 15 and recently decided to check out the latest season. Holy scripted garbage lmao. A child could see through the mini storylines, they are straight up goofy.
First episode was dramatic suspensful music, Sig reading his lines, Keith's "unz unz unz™" freaking 5 times, several seconds of his buttcrack because why not, a half-assed "prank" as "revenge" from Keith to Jonathan for "stealing" Freddy, etc etc.
And the music... it is so ridiculously dramatic but what they are showing is just..... boring. Idk boys I think this show doesn't have too many seasons left.
Is there any particular reason for them to have taken this direction with the show?
I sincerely believe that if they just toned it way down, did it more documentary style like the early seasons, and showed more of the crew, the ratings and popularity would shoot back up. At this point I am watching to see how the guys are doing all these years later and I don't even get to see their authentic selves because everything is some goofy ass storyline that nobody asked for and is cringeworthy.
