Synopsis: In the far northern reaches of the planet a rare breed of extreme Fishermen still ply the Bering Sea. Adventure is their call, crab is their prey, and a one hundred million dollar plunder is their reward.. Five skippers and their crews will endure boat killing storms and mind numbing working conditions -risking it all on the hunt for crab. In the end, they will all come to the realization that the most violent storms come from within.

This year, there's a fracture in the Bering Sea brotherhood. Old allies become mortal enemies when fishing turns personal. While some skippers rage against each other - another skipper fights a lone battle to stay alive. The Bering Sea has a way of turning young boys into hardened men. Before this season is through, terrible tragedy will alter two young lives forever. Last season, eight men lost their lives to the Bering Sea. This year, catastrophe strikes at the heart of one of our featured boats

Review: The Deadliest Catch is one of those shows that I wouldn’t have pegged as being even remotely interesting at first glance.  I couldn’t care less about fishermen, I don’t even eat meat, and honestly it just seems dull.  What I didn’t realize until I gave this show a chance was how dangerous and dramatic their lives really are.

Season Six of the show was very somber, as we lost the life of Captain Phil.  In episode #11 he has a stroke and the cameras follow him even into the hospital.  We see the emotional outpouring from not only his two sons but other fishermen.  These are men’s men and you just don’t expect to see them crying, so the episode and the specials included are rather moving.  Overall, it’s a season FULL of drama and another great addition to a great show.

The DVD special features include: Behind the Scenes: Captain Phil Remembered, Deleted scenes, Catching the Catch (webisodes) and Captain interviews
