Season 13

(2017)

Overview

Over the past 12 years, the veteran captains thought they’d seen it all. But this year proves to be like no other on record. This year the crabs have seemingly vanished – igniting a grueling hunt to save the fleet’s way of life. After a massive temperature spike in the Bering Sea, traditional fishing hot spots are now coming up empty.
