As the 2016 king crab season in Alaska nears its end, the captains of the crab-fishing vessels featured in Deadliest Catch season 12 episode 10 face some of the roughest and most dangerous conditions they've encountered yet. The episode, titled "Into the Gale," captures the intense moments as these seasoned fishermen battle the elements to bring home their catch.

The opening scene shows the Captains gathering for a pre-trip meeting, where they discuss the upcoming storm and their strategy for navigating through it. Captain Sig Hansen of the Northwestern and Captain Keith Colburn of the Wizard express concern about the conditions, especially since they're so close to the end of the season. "We're running out of time. We can't afford to lose any pots," Captain Keith says.

As the episode progresses, viewers get a firsthand look at the challenges each of the boats face as they push through the choppy waters and icy winds. Camera crews capture the waves slamming into the boats, soaked decks, and crew members being thrown around on deck. The Northwestern seems to fare the best of the three vessels, but even they have to make some tough calls. At one point, Captain Sig tells his crew to pull up the pots as quickly as possible, even if they're not completely full. "We're not risking our lives for nine crabs," he says.

The crew of the Wizard, led by Captain Keith Colburn, hits an unexpected obstacle when they reach their final destination. They find their crab pots submerged, causing one of the deckhands to yell, "Holy crap, we're sunk!" In a frantic effort to save their catch, the crew works tirelessly to secure the pots and bring them aboard before they sink completely. It's a nerve-wracking scene and illustrates just how high the stakes are on these fishing trips.

Deadliest Catch season 12 episode 10 also includes a subplot involving deckhand Jake Anderson of the Saga. Jake has dealt with drug addiction in the past, but he's been sober for a while now. However, the stress of the season and the intensity of the storm cause him to feel overwhelmed. He confides in captain "Wild" Bill Wichrowski, who tells him that he needs to keep pushing through. "You're a tough kid, Jake," he says. "You can handle this."

Throughout the episode, the viewers are reminded of the dangers that these boats and their crew members face every day. "Into the Gale" is a fitting title for this episode, as it accurately captures the ferocity of the storm that the fishermen are up against. It's not just a physical ordeal either - the mental strain of the job is evident in the conversations between the captains and their crew members. The stakes are high, and there's a constant sense of urgency to get the job done before it's too late.

Despite the challenges faced by the crews of the Wizard, Northwestern, and Saga, they manage to pull through and bring in a significant amount of crab. Deadliest Catch season 12 episode 10 is a testament to the resilience and determination of these fishermen, who put their lives on the line every day to bring in their catch. It's a gripping, intense episode that is sure to keep viewers on the edge of their seats until the very end.
