Press to jump
- 1:23Heavy steel crab pots require careful baiting, loading and balancing aboard the vessel.
- 2:08Crew-share payments are explained alongside upfront expenses such as fuel and bait.
- 3:33Deckhands chip ice from the rigging to prevent dangerous buildup that can destabilize the boat.
- 5:27Crews haul pots aboard, inspect the crabs and move the retained catch into live holding tanks.
- 12:51At Dutch Harbor, the documentary follows offloading and examines dockside prices, deckhand earnings and fishery closures.
Steel cages go overboard, but ice has to come off the boat. In Tony 98 - Discovery's king crab documentary, deckhands chip frozen buildup from the rigging to keep the vessel from becoming dangerously top-heavy. The work between catches is as much the subject as the crabs themselves.
"Hunting Millions of King Crab in the World's Worst Water - Deadliest Catch" drew about 17,000 views, making it the week's most-watched new upload. Its unnamed crews bait pots, haul them back aboard, sort the catch and repeat through long shifts. The documentary also explains crew-share payments and operating expenses, a subject echoed by a viewer asking how well crab catchers are paid.
The other new arrival, "50+ Insane 2026 Fishing Moments You Haven't Seen - Sport Fishing & Mega Catches," widens the frame to commercial boats and large seafood hauls. It is already drawing daily views at almost the same rate as October's "50+ Most Epic 2026 Fishing Moments - Extreme Sport Fishing, Giant Trapping & More," currently the channel's busiest upload. The fishing compilation featured here last month has now passed 675,000 views.
Across the channel, daily viewing is running at less than a third of its usual level, while subscribers held steady over the week. Even so, its weekly views gain sits near Diesel Creek's in the nearby machines-and-aviation group, with Pilot Debrief having a larger week. For Tony 98 - Discovery, the strongest daily activity remains offshore, spread between a month-old compilation and its newest fishing collection.
