Deadliest Catch: On Deck Season 2 Episode 3 Against the Law

As the crab fishing season heats up, the crews of the Northwestern, Wizard, and Cornelia Marie continue to battle choppy seas and dangerous weather conditions while they fight to fill their pots with as much king crab and opilio crab as possible. In this episode of Deadliest Catch: On Deck, titled "Against the Law," tensions run high as the fishermen face unexpected challenges and setbacks that threaten to derail their progress.

On the Cornelia Marie, Captain Josh Harris and his crew are feeling the pressure to make up for lost time after a slow start to the season. With the clock ticking, Josh decides to take a risky shortcut through a narrow channel, hoping to shave off some time and avoid the worst of the storm. But as they enter the channel, they discover that the water is dangerously shallow, and they run aground on a sandbar. With the waves crashing against the boat, the crew scrambles to get the engines restarted and free the vessel before it's too late.

Meanwhile, on the Northwestern, Captain Sig Hansen is dealing with his own set of problems. The boat's hydraulic system is acting up, making it difficult to move the heavy pots around the deck. Sig suspects that the problem may be caused by a faulty valve or a leak somewhere in the system, but he can't be sure without inspecting each component individually. The crew works frantically to make the necessary repairs and get back to fishing before they fall too far behind.

Over on the Wizard, Captain Keith Colburn is facing a different kind of challenge: one of his crew members, Freddy Maugatai, has been arrested on drug charges. Keith is furious that one of his own could be involved in such illegal activity, and he makes it clear that he won't tolerate any kind of criminal behavior on his boat. With Freddy facing possible jail time, the rest of the crew must pick up the slack and work even harder to make up for the lost manpower.

As the storm intensifies and the conditions grow more treacherous, the fishermen must rely on their experience and expertise to stay safe and bring in the catch. With only a finite amount of time to make their quotas before the crab season ends, every setback is a major blow to their bottom line. Will the crew of the Cornelia Marie be able to free their boat from the sandbar and regain lost time? Can Sig and his crew fix the hydraulic system before it's too late? And what will become of Freddy and the rest of the crew of the Wizard as they face the consequences of their actions? Only time will tell as the drama continues to unfold on Deadliest Catch: On Deck.
