Harpoon Hunters is the latest extreme fishing show on the Discovery Channel.

Harpoon Hunters follows fishermen in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, who search for the elusive Atlantic bluefin tuna. Every summer, they use only 10-foot electrified spears to catch the tuna. The harpoon boats have only four weeks to catch their limit, and each fish is worth as much as $10,000.

Located in the Aleutian Islands port of Dutch Harbor, Alaska, brave fishermen risk their lives to bring delicious delicacies – Alaskan king crab and snow crab. In the series Deadliest Catch, viewers watch as these people brave themselves on 40-foot waves, facing some of the hardest perils of nature, in order to bring up 700-pound crab pots. One mistake could equal disaster. While this series is a reality show documenting the day-to-day operations aboard fishing vessels in the Bering Sea, it is still an intense and suspenseful account of humans vs. nature. And it isn’t the only show bringing that trope to reality TV.

If you’re a fan of Deadliest Catch, Discovery Channel’s Harpoon Hunters is a must-watch. The new series follows fishermen during the summer months on Cape Cod where they’re looking for Atlanta bluefin tuna. The clock is ticking with only so much time and quota allowed each season. Many of these waters have invested so much with hopes of securing big fish, which could be worth upwards of $10,000 or more. It’s make or break for many of these fishermen, and Captain Nicholas “Niko” Chaprales is among those feeling the pressure. Aboard the Ezyduzit, the 37-year-old has followed in his dad Bill’s footsteps. After his father passed away in 2022, Chaprales, who also competes in Strong Man competitions and is a championship powerlifter, continued to carry on the family legacy. He’ll have a lot to live up to on the boat, which has a track record of landing 50 bluefin per season.

Ever since Deadliest Catch premiered, other reality shows have been hard-pressed to match the thrills it brings to the screen. After all, not many shows have a high-concept hook like "filming the trials fishermen endure during the crab fishing seasons." Prior to Deadliest Catch, there was another show that packed plenty of adrenaline and sea life into its runtime, and that's Addictive Fishing. Co-created by Captain Blair Wiggins and Kevin McCabe, Addictive Fishing features Wiggins traveling the globe in search of a variety of different fish. However, the fish he's looking for tend to be gargantuan in size, leading to what Wiggins calls "rod-bendin', drag-screamin' television."...

The stars of Deadliest Catch are risking their lives as they face uncertainty out in the Bering Sea. The high-stakes world of deep sea crabbing takes center stage on Deadliest Catch, but is this lucrative industry worth it? Many long-time fans are curious about just how much the captains and deckhands of Deadliest Catch make. It's time to dive in and find out what these reality stars make!

Since its premiere in 2006, Discovery Channel's Deadliest Catch is an addictive look into the wild and treacherous lives of those aboard crab fishing boats in the Bering Sea — an occupation that stands as one of the world's most dangerous. That's 20 seasons worth of capturing perilous moments for the boat's crew and the camera operators on board, like dealing with a highly volatile, once-in-a-lifetime supermoon storm in 2018. Or that time they endured rather human moments, like the cardiac event that befell Captain Keith Colburn that left fans fearing the worst. We as fans have come to know these people intimately, and, by extension, the fishing vessels they work on, boats that can stand up, and must stand up, to the wavering whims of the sea.

When it comes to Deadliest Catch, fans know the show likes to keep them in suspense. However, one fan recently talked about just how the series is filmed. Notably, other fans have talked about other filming techniques they’ve grown to associate with the series.

Fans Noticed Certain Filming Trends On The Show

Deadliest Catch is a Discovery series that first premiered in 2005. Viewers get a glimpse at crab fishermen in the Bering Sea risking great danger for their livelihoods.

Normally, episodes focus on a story on board one or more of the boats, as well as competition between the boats. With the crew members out at sea, as well as in intense waters, events can quickly become dire on the show.

Captain Sig on ‘Deadliest Catch’ – YouTube

However, on the show’s Reddit page, one fan admitted they had an issue with one of the show’s filming techniques.

Todd Kochutin was a crab fisherman occasionally featured on Deadliest Catch, but suddenly, he stopped appearing, which had some fans wondering where he went. Since its premiere in June 2005, there have been 20 seasons and counting of Deadliest Catch with a rotating gang of crabbers, boats, and captains. While some people only appear for a season, others like Sig Hansen, Jake Anderson, and Keith Colburn have been with the show for years. There have been plenty of unplanned departures from the series over the years as well.

While some may claim Deadliest Catch isn't the most realistic Discovery Channel reality series, there are parts of it that can not be faked. These are real, employed men, who are going out into the violent and unpredictable Bering Strait, and there have been plenty of close calls on the show and even a few deaths. Todd Kochutin was a crab fisherman who appeared in a handful of episodes.

Everyone is used to seeing the cast of Deadliest Catch involved in dangerous and breathtaking action as they crabfish in hazardous waters. However, many fans wonder what these same fishermen do when working in the off-season and how they go about their occupations when the show is not airing.

Here is a look at what the workers from the Discovery show do in the off-season.

Deadliest Catch Off-Season News

Deadliest Catch tells the story of the Alaskan crab fishing industry and the lives of those aboard crab fishing boats on the Bering Sea.

When it comes to the family on Deadliest Catch, sometimes it's not just the chosen family that sets sail on these stressful missions. Sometimes, viewers can witness the dynamics of actual blood relatives. Since the very beginning, Deadliest Catch has focused on various fishing vessels, including F/V The Northwestern. Of course, The Northwestern is led by Captain Sig Hansen, and his crew included his brother, Edgar Hansen. But due to some real-life consequences, the once fan-favorite star of Deadliest Catch disappeared from the program.

Deadliest Catch is one of the most beloved Discovery Channel properties thanks to its extreme conditions and high-stakes drama. Just out of its 20th season, one infamous fishing vessel has been missing from the show: the Cornelia Marie. As one of the most prominent crabbing ships on the series since its debut in 2005, the Cornelia Marie's greatest tragedy occurred when Captain Phil Harris passed away due to a massive stroke. His sons, Jake Harris and Josh Harris took on the responsibilities of the vessel before Josh purchased the boat with the help of Captain Casey McManus. While it did disappear for some time during Season 13, it had since returned. That is, until a series of unfortunate events.

There have been many iconic ships on Deadliest Catch. While it isn’t one of the oldest ships on the show, there are not many fans who want to see the Saga back, even if it has a new captain. However, there are other fans who think that there are more iconic ships they would rather see return.

Here is a look at why many fans want the Saga back on the Discovery Channel reality TV series.

Deadliest Catch Fans Want Saga Back On The Series

Jake Anderson lost the F/V Saga because of situations out of his control. Since that time, he has moved on to work on other ships but is no longer a captain. Now, there are some fans who want to see the Saga back on Deadliest Catch again, with or without Jake.

Deadliest Catch Jake Anderson – YouTube

Someone posted a Reddit thread saying they wanted to see it back.

As proven in the 20 seasons of Deadliest Catch, nothing is for certain. Things can change on a whim, and security is something not to take for granted. Fan-favorite Jake Anderson has learned this the hard way. After putting everything into the fishing vessel Saga, Jake suddenly lost control of the boat he part-owned when he was served a repossession note. With the timing coinciding with the Red King Crab fishery reopening and a derby-style race underway, Jake was essentially lost at sea.

Deadliest Catch season 20 aired its finale in October 2024 and viewers who missed the original run are wondering where they can go to watch the popular crabbing series online. The most significant of all the Discovery Channel reality series that depict dangerous jobs from the viewpoint of the people that perform them, Deadiest Catch is the archetypal deadly job. Since 2005, Discovdery Channel cameras have been following around the fishing vessels that act as characters in Deadliest Catch.

As they prowl the Bering Seas hunting for Alaskan king crab and snow crab, the camaraderie and rivalries between and within the crews take center stage. Season 20 of Deadliest Catch premiered on June 11, 2024, and the 19th episode and season finale aired on October 22, 2024. There were medical emergencies, angry crewmen, rough weather, and every other sort of danger that could be thrown at the crabbers in season 20. Sig Hansen, Jonathan Hillstrand, and Jake Anderson led the way this season,...

Fans of Deadliest Catch seem to have found one cast member who really gets on their nerves. While there are many unique characters, many with short tempers, on the show, one has stood out. Fans do not like Wild Bill’s attitude and how he treats others. They even recently compared him to The Real Housewives.

Here is a look at what people are saying about Wild Bill on the Discovery Channel series.

Deadliest Catch Fans Complaining About Wild Bill

Captain Wild Bill has an intimidating reputation for Deadliest Catch. However, he is also a captain who gets things done and has extensive experience as a commercial fisherman.

Since 2005, viewers have tuned in to see crab fishermen braving dangerous waters for their line of work. However, even with its latest season finishing up, fans are already wondering if they’ll get to see more of the show.

Since its premiere in 2005, Deadliest Catch has thrilled audiences by pulling back the curtain on the perilous world of Alaskan crab fishing. The icy waters, unpredictable weather, and extreme physical demands show how the Bering Sea can be one of the most dangerous workplaces in the world. The grueling nature of the show, therefore, has produced some of the wildest moments ever caught on camera over the years. Episodes featuring deadly waves, boat fires, and catastrophic sinkings like that of one of the F/V Destination serve as grim reminders of what working at the sea can be like!
