While vacationing at the beach recently, I came across the show Deadliest Catch on the Discovery channel. What an amazing discovery this was indeed. This show is a fascinating glimpse into the world of Alaskan King Crab fishing and the dangers involved with this grueling profession. Not only do these guys work in zero degree winds of up to 50 mph, they have to make sure not to get swept off the deck by 20 foot swells. If that happens, you're basically a goner. In other words, as the premise of this show appears to convey, pretty much any other job one could possibly have is for pussies. My favorite captain is Sig Hansen of the Northwestern, who is pictured above. I also like Phil of the Cornelia Marie, especially when he dog cusses his own greenhorn son for being a boneheaded jackass.
