Deadliest Catch (2005)

S1E6 Man Overboard

May 17, 2005 Season 1 Episode 6 Reality

After one boat sinks and its crew goes missing, a number of Good Samaritan vessels pause their season to search the icy Bering Sea for any signs of survivors. News of the disaster spreads quickly, but captains too far away to participate in the rescue shift their focus to baiting and setting pots. However, as the remaining 170 boats in the fleet concentrate on fishing, another tragedy unfolds. A desperate radio call comes in from a vessel reporting that a deckhand has fallen overboard. The looming threat of yet another death sends a wave of anxiety throughout the fleet as they pursue America's deadliest catch.
