Watch the most hair-raising moments from the first season of the Discovery Channel's hit series 'Deadliest Catch'. Forty-foot waves, freezing temperatures, swinging 700-pound crab pots, a nearly 100% injury rate...but also the chance to earn enough money for a family to live on for a year with just a few days' work. Welcome to one of the world's deadliest jobs: the Alaskan crab fisherman. Deep in the frigid waters of the Bering Sea lurk the highly lucrative, yet often elusive, king and snow crabs. Each year, approximately 250 boats converge on Dutch Harbor, Alaska, where crew-members regularly pull 20-hour shifts in freezing weather, exposed to the harshest elements on a slick deck.
