Discovery Channel's Emmy-Nominated Series DEADLIEST CATCH Returns for a Third Season in April

Hello Fishies!
Here is a press release for you!

- Submersible Cameras and Chase Boat Footage Give Viewers New Perspective
on Life on the Bering Sea -

 SILVER SPRING, Md., Jan. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- The fleet of crab-fishing
boats that captivated nearly three million viewers each week on Discovery
Channel's Emmy-nominated series DEADLIEST CATCH returns in April for a
third season of daring adventures on the high seas. Viewers once again
voyage to the Bering Sea and follow the brave captains and crew of eight
crab-fishing vessels as they struggle against the treacherous weather
conditions doing one of the deadliest -- and most lucrative -- jobs in the
world.
This season, which is currently being filmed as boats head out to catch
opilio crab, viewers experience life above and below the Alaskan waters.
Submersible cameras capture unprecedented underwater images of crabs
migrating on the bottom of the Bering Sea and entering the crab pots.
In addition, footage shot from a "chase boat" shows just how diminutive
these crab boats actually are in the midst of the Bering Sea. For the first
time, viewers see the fishing vessels being tossed around by the high winds
and rough seas. The unique angle will also offer a new perspective of the
fishermen working the rails, setting and hauling the massive 800-pound crab
pots as their boats fight the crashing waves.
The second season of DEADLIEST CATCH was the highest rated series on
Discovery Channel in 2006.
DEADLIEST CATCH is produced for Discovery Channel by Original
Productions. Thom Beers and Jeff Conroy are executive producers. For
Discovery Channel, Paul Gasek is executive producer.

Stay tuned!
