Default Re: Deadliest Catch

The previous season that just finished was for Alaskan King Crabs. They went out for about 4 1/2 days. The boat and captain take a huge percent the revenue and the crew splits their share. Most seemed to average, if I remember correctly, 6-8K for the four days. I can't imagine doing so much physically demanding work on little to no sleep. The money is like a poker jackpot. Their shares are based on how much they catch and how many crew members they need to share with.
