Ep 10. Back to the Killing Season

In Deadliest Catch season 13 episode 10, titled "Back to the Killing Season," the crab fishing fleet continues to push through the treacherous Alaskan waters as they try to fill their pots with the highly coveted king crab.

The episode opens with the F/V Northwestern, skippered by veteran captain Sig Hansen, facing a potential disaster when their hydraulic system fails. With hundreds of pounds of crab still left to catch, the crew must quickly find a solution before it's too late.

Meanwhile, on the F/V Time Bandit, brothers Johnathan and Andy Hillstrand struggle with their own mechanical issues. As they try to fix their engine, tensions rise between the siblings, causing friction on deck.

Over on the F/V Saga, captain Jake Anderson and his crew are dealing with the emotional aftermath of a recent tragedy. The loss of their fellow fisherman has left a somber mood on the boat, but they must continue to push forward and catch crab to make ends meet.

In addition to mechanical and emotional challenges, the crew must also contend with the unpredictable weather conditions of the Bering Sea. As a massive storm rolls in, the fishing boats are forced to hunker down and ride out the rough seas.

As the crab fishing season starts to wind down, the pressure to fill remaining quotas becomes more intense. With each pot pulled up, the potential for a big payoff – or a disappointing haul – looms large.

In "Back to the Killing Season," viewers get an up-close look at the high-stakes world of Alaskan crab fishing. From the physical demands of the job to the emotional toll it takes on the crew, this episode offers a glimpse into the harsh realities of one of the deadliest professions in the world.
