The Tragedy Of Deadliest Catch Has Only Gotten Worse 

Do you think you could handle a career in crab fishing?

I swear, crab fishing is THE most dangerous job on the water! I still miss Phil from the Cornelia Marie...

As a commercial fisherman for 45 years …drugs are killing guys every day .

I remember the death of Phil Harris back in 2010. Very sad.

Phil Harris was one of my faves from the show

Lots of drugs to kill fear, loneliness and lack of sleep.

Phil Harris was my favorite. Show wasnt same after.😢

My uncle was a crab fisherman in the Bearing Sea. I had no idea what he did until the show came out. I always had respect for what he did, but when I saw the show, my respect for him and all crews that do this job went through the roof.

Jake Anderson is now the captain of the TITAN EXPLORER!

Life is tough but some people are too tough for life. RIP to all those who died too early.

As a past viewer of Deadliest catch the death of Phil from the Cornelia Marie was a tragic moment. Sometimes I’ll remember old episodes. RIP to all whom have passed on the show and fishermen everywhere especially up there on the Bering Sea.

Mavar suing the boat he worked on for decades just seems wrong. The Hansens always treated him like part of their family, he was one of their most loyal guys, I find it hard to believe he'd just turn around and sue them.

Its called deadliest catch for a reason unfortunately

Alot of my buddies fish with these guys, I know Jake and Josh personally, their dad Phil bought my grandpas house on Echo Lake... I've had beers with them at a local watering hole in Monroe, Wa..... it was really sad to see how their legacy fell apart....

The risks and sacrifices these fishermen endure are unimaginable. This video does an excellent job of highlighting the human side of the 'Deadliest Catch' stories. It’s a poignant reminder of the price of our seafood industry.

RiP Nick...Still missing you Phil 😢

One of the most intriguing programs I have ever seen up close and personal! And of course like ice road truckers one of the deadliest jobs in the world! 🎆🚨😨😢😞

I couldnt watch the show after Phil pasted. Still cant😢

Thanks. ✌🏻👊🏼

I did Bristol bay, ugashick and kotzebue. These guys had it pretty rough. Considering they were out in winter during peak storm season. We went through Bristol bay and hit 40' to 50' footers. In summer, 210 ' ww2 oiler. Mad respect 🙏. I almost died my last year falling into ugashick. Luckily I was grabbed. A guy died under same conditions two days prior. Stay salty fellow sea dogs and rest easy to those who rest in the waters...

RIP Nick Mayvar. I didn't know he died last month.

Won’t catch me out in that freezing water, fuck that

I miss phil Harris, he brought something so unique and special to the show.

Omg were has the time went I watched that episode when he died to 2010 just after my son was born what a loss

Besides the danger on deck, these guys are all heavy smokers, no aerobic exercise and many with drug problems, not surprised with all the heart attacks.

Damn that Patricia Lee is a dangerous place to work. The captain is to blame for all of those "accidents".

It sounds like that show and/or job is cursed. Too bad.

I watched Deadliest Catch from about 2005 or 6 until the channel I was watching it on substituted another program 2015 or so, maybe longer. Naturally, I had my favorite boat captains like anybody else, I really liked Phil Harris and that may be why I don't care for Josh, he's nothing like his father. I've always liked Sig Hanson also, but wasn't happy seeing his daughter run the boat! But if the show comes back on, I'll watch it again because I really like all the other boat captains (I had to learn to like "Wild Bill" but like him now, and I think that overall, they are all a good group and for the most part, their deck hands work hard and are mostly good workers also. The Cornelia Marie and the Northwestern were favorite boats when I first started watching DC, but I was horrified to hear about the FV Destination but that was during the time I wasn't watching on a regular basis. (There is NO room for negligence on a FV and sadly, Destination paid the ultimate price.) When I'd see all that ice build up on the boat and watch them beating the ice off, I was glad I was home watching! Ice is heavier than one would think! Where they fish, along the Bering Strait, is really cold and hazardous fishing, but I guess they have to go where the crab is! I used to buy whole-cooks (Dungeness) all the time when I lived on the Coastside below San Francisco but the store where I live now in the mountains, never has fresh crab and I've never learned to like the canned kind. I wish all the boats and crew the very best for a good season this year!

Condolences to all🦀🙏🏻

I had no idea Nick Mavar had passed away, RIP.....I can't believe this

Some of these are legit sad. I didn't know about a few of these like the Nick Mavar dying of a heart attack or the Cornelia stuff.

Having been out on a fishing trawler once, to the disgust of all but the captain, (women are considered bad luck on board), I have nothing but respect for the men on boats. It is incredibly hard, wet, cold work. Bless them all, even the men who hated me on board. It was an experience I will always remember, mostly being sick over board with the kind captain holding my hair back, telling me I would survive. I did.

I really enjoyed watching Jake back on the north western even for only an episode....he looked so much happier with Sig

The damn dope killed as many as the fishing did.

Dangerous? Definitely. Dramatic? Definitely. Camera = drama = attention = continued cash flow. We're all human and we all need cash or want more of it. The more drama, the larger the viewing audience. The larger the viewing audience, the more expensive the commercial airtime becomes. Anyone that claims they aren't in it for money is lying. My biggest question is, why do nearly all of the fishermen smoke? What's the connection? Funny how nearly all suspects/witnesses on police shows are smoking as well. Something to roundtable.

Can anyone tell me why helmets aren’t required on deck?

most of those guys wouldn't be out there minus the show// most sell 'catch allotments' to larger safer ships

What kind of bullshit charges… You have to go to court for hitting on a minor while being a minor? So…anyone who had a girlfriend in high school should go to jail. Unless we’re talking, he’s older than 16 and the girl is younger than 14.

Todd was preceded in death by his parents sister and brother not survived. Which is crazy depressing to think about

OMG ! I didn't know that happened with Josh and the Cornelia Marie ! Wow. And Edgar got taken down by another sexual allegation. I really miss Edgar. I think he got totally screwed out of his heritage. Sig should be ashamed of himself for going on without him like that. Especially when Sig was accused of sexual abuse himself. I just hate how people's lives can be ruined by allegations without any actual proof. I hope Edgar, Josh and everyone else who've been "excommunicated" from the show are finding happiness in their lives. Is Josh still running the Cornelia but just not on the show anymore? What ever happened to the guy who had such terrible back pain and he had to take a season off, then returned for another season? I can't think of his name but he was a young man and ran his own boat.

*If anyone is wondering what type of pills he is consuming at **2:11** ….it’s called Kratom*

Damn,that's the weirdest decision ever made. On Reyes family, fuck only one day?! That's weird. I could understand like a month or two. Damn, one day. Fucking life.

So sad

I love captain Bob ❤

This is why crab is so expensive

I miss Phil too!

Will they let Edgar back?!

Once water get in them they weight down 🙄

I work with a former crab fisherman. Don’t come any tougher.

0:51 are you fucking kidding me he put up a hell of a fight. He was there for 24 freaking hours. There wasn’t even a fight. Holy shit.

With rare exception, once a junky, always a junky which either ends in jail or the cemetery

I wonder if Reyes took the clot shot? Nothing to see here, safe & effective......

If I was 40 years younger or known about it 40 years ago, I'd have been on one or more of those boats for years.

Is the show still on

But being a "mother" is "the hardest job on the planet "

Really feel for Casey he done nothing wrong to be kicked off the show! And the girl was underage but so was Josh so it was a strange case. Discovery was doing their best to keep their nose clean. Sadly Casey got on the cross hairs

Whitefish… just north of Kalispell! At least he got to live in gods country!

10:25 jsh was born in 83. He, too, was a minor.

Well when you go on the boat life still goes on it’s similar to getting put in jail you leave you come back in the world you left is different remember real life is rated R not PG Let the ocean take us all when we’re gone

There’s no way sig did that he’s a family guy. It pisses me off to hear tha nonsense

Alot of them were heavy on the pain pills

Fukushima messed up the crabs.

They dont see their doctors

I KNEW IT

Heard some crabs died. Sad.

Jobs like crabbing make you not winge about equal pay rates

How do you go to jail for a crime involving a minor, while you yourself are a minor? Dude’s attorney was absolutely garbage. 🗑️

Heart failure equals drug overdose. Just call it what it is

I’m going to start a new TV show. It’s going to be a dating show about single women looking to find a relationship with someone who will be willing to have children. I’m going to call it “Dadliest Catch”

AWESOME job now they have over trapped the crab and they haven’t been seen since… Mother Nature karma’s killing the men

I think , instead of calling it X twitter, we should call XT or something short like that. X just sounds wrong by itself and the double name is cumbersome.

you forget to mention Josh Harris's victim was a 4yrs old girl

They pulled the plug after only a day? insurance money for sure.

So which tragedy are you talking about? Id retitle the video to tragedies btw

The "victim" is fine, they took 24 years to see someone on TV they knew and went in for a payday. that is BS! 2 and a half decades ago they were both minors too!

And Stevie Janowski died

Nick Mavar died this year; thank you for sharing that. I wonder if that'll be featured on the show; because the previews definitely show someone getting life flighted out of there this season. But they lose guys and full boats all the time; so scary. Still miss Captain Phil from the CM. That's was such a sad season. P.S. Axing the CM w/Josh and Casey for something Josh did when he himself was a minor and served his time pissed me off so much. So unfair to both and that beloved boat. They let Elliot run the SAGA for literal years while high with no repercussions. The double standard is nuts.

The English, Scottish, Irish, welsh surnames are very telling must be a genetic thing to be by the sea...

first...or wtvr

I can't handle terrible videos like this one

When someone in their 30s has a heart attack any year after 2019 you know everyone’s first thought.

Is he wearing lip gloss?

Mahlon died of a heart attack at 38, i wonder if he had a little jab at some point.

Heart attack ay shouldn't of taken the COVID vaccine

Don’t do drugs people!! Make better life choices!!

Sigs ex been on her amber heard grind

Guess they had no drug test for crew. What did one expected from society misfits, alcoholic and drug addicts? Most crews probably didn't even finish high school/

Chuck Norris said that crab fishing wasn't tuff enough for him!

Mahlon was sooo strong that they pulled him from life support a day after… good fighting chance

sounds like a lot of young tough guys dying suddenly around the jab era! hmmmmm

I've known plenty of women who suddenly turn on you for money, that's when its perfectly fine time to part ways. Sig has done great financially and his ex wants that cash of his like it belongs to her and it doesn't....which makes her angry and crazier.

LOL, bunch of salty drama queens...

How sick. One day on life support. I was supposed to die too .im so grateful my family didn’t decide to kill me after one day.

I believe his daughter

Tragedy?? These actors of deadliest catch are making six-figure incomes per episode. What tragedy?

Reyes, no doubt, got the shot.

Deadliest Catch is the most fake, staged show on TV. Complete trash.

John MacArthur message (God saves only sinners).

Were all these guys forced vaccinated?

So guys who spend all day long killing animals lose their life- karma perhaps?
