Deadliest Catch

Deadliest Catch.........the show on the Disovery Channel about Alaska's crab fishermen. More details below:

Forty-foot waves, freezing temperatures, swinging 700-pound crab pots, a nearly 100 percent injury rate ... but also the chance to earn enough money for a family to live on for a year or more, for just a few months' work. Welcome to one of the world's deadliest jobs — that of the Alaskan crab fisherman — and witness it firsthand in an all-new season of the Discovery Channel series Deadliest Catch. http://www.thedeadliestcatch.com/



On the Deadliest Catch, they follow 5 different ships. I think we are in the wrong profession! Check out the results for the different ships:

The Time Bandit: $215,000 worth of Opilio Crab, $12,000 per deckhand.
The Maverick: $234,000 worth of Opilio Crab, $10,500 per deckhand.
The Cornelia Marie: $528,000 worth of Opilio Crab, $26,500 per deckhand.
The Rollo: $370,000 worth of Opilio Crab, $21,000 per deckhand.
The Northwesern: $660,000 worth of Cod Fish and Opilio Crab, $30,000 per deckhand for Opilio, and $15,000 per deckhand for Cod Fish. For a grand total of $45,000 per deckhand.


Each deckhand on The Northwestern made $45,000. We need to buy a boat and become Alaskan king crab fishermen.
