Keith Colburn always claimed that Deadliest Catch on Discovery Channel is a documentary rather than a reality TV show, so a fire on F/V Wizard in Season 20 might not have just been for drama. However, some critics seem skeptical.
Keith Colburn Had Emergencies At Sea
Ahead of Season 20, Captain Sig Hansen talked about how his greatest fear is the weather in the Bering Sea. However, other dangers need constant attention. One of those is fire. Despite the cold conditions, fire on board a vessel can be a serious hazard to lives and the viability of the crabbing business.

If the Discovery Channel was angling for a hit show, then they hauled it in with the “Deadliest Catch,” which premiered in 2005 and has aired every year since.
The documentary series, narrated by Mike Rowe, follows crab fishermen and crab boats as they ply their dangerous and sometimes deadly trade in the Bering Sea during the Alaskan king crab and snow crab fishing seasons. The base for the crab fleet is the Aleutian Islands port of Dutch Harbor, Alaska.
Through the years of the TV show’s airing, it has proven popular around the globe, making the skippers, their crewman, and their boats, celebrities in their own right.
This year’s season, which kicks off with a two-hour premiere on April 19, finds the crews of nine crab vessels trying to cope with the Alaskan government shutting down red king crab catching for the season. You’ll also find them contending with the usual treacherous seas,...

Captain Monte Colburn from "Deadliest Catch" just paid the piper for a crime on the high seas. Turns out the captain was on the hunt for crab in an area that was strictly off limits. The excursion went down in November, during the taping of his show. The reality is ... he could have gotten away with it, but there was a non-deadly catch.

We’re now three hours into season 7 of Discovery’s Deadliest Catch, and I’m officially missing the late Capt. Phil Harris. After last season — the final half of which was so moving it made viewers feel sorry for people who weren’t tuning in — it was hard to look at this series as just a TV show. That’s a fact I know to be true. When I joined Time Bandit captain Johnathan Hillstrand in New York last week to live blog the season premiere with his brother Andy and Northwestern captain Sig Hansen, John told me he was...
