Deadliest Catch premiered on DSC on April 12, 2005. Deadliest Catch follows the now captains and crews of five crab-fishing vessels on the Bering Sea doing one of the deadliest - and most lucrative - jobs in the world. The brave men endure subzero arctic weather, 60-mph winds and turbulent seas with waves the size of four-story buildings, all on three to four hours of sleep each night – if they're lucky. To add to the weather nightmare, a thousand gallons of water crashes onto the deck every 30 seconds, freezing as it hits the boat. To prevent the boat from becoming too top-heavy and capsizing at sea, deckhands are continuously forced to stop fishing and spend hours clearing the ice with sledgehammers.
