Product Description
In the far northern reaches of the planet a rare breed of extreme Fishermen still ply the Bering Sea. Adventure is their call, crab is their prey, and a one hundred million dollar plunder is their reward.. Five skippers and their crews will endure boat killing storms and mind numbing working conditions -risking it all on the hunt for crab. In the end, they will all come to the realization that the most violent storms come from within.
This year, there's a fracture in the Bering Sea brotherhood. Old allies become mortal enemies when fishing turns personal. While some skippers rage against each other - another skipper fights a lone battle to stay alive. The Bering Sea has a way of turning young boys into hardened men. Before this season is through, terrible tragedy will alter two young lives forever. Last season, eight men lost their lives to the Bering Sea. This year, catastrophe strikes at the heart of one of our featured boats

 Don't let this one be the one that got away August 25, 2010
Fruit Loop (Down South)
"Deadliest Catch" continues to thrill us and move us season after season, and of course hardcore fans wouldn't want to miss this one. A primary reason, of course, is Captain Phil's passing, but for this reviewer his battle was an underscore to the entire premise of the series: man against the elements, man against himself. Who are these men, why do they do this, and what drives them?
Two captains switch "Boat Sons" as a new lesson and test of experience; Jake Anderson of the "Northwestern", still mourning the loss of his sister last season, faces the grim prospect of new grief; Russell of "Time Bandit" and most recently the "Wizard" faces another new start; Keith continues his attempt to build a strong crew; the Hillstrands and the Hansens cope with aging and the future of their boats as the future marches inexorably closer.
Again to the obvious: Discovery Channel did a masterful job photographing Phil's relationship with his sons, his collapse, subsequent battle and final acquiescence to his own mortality. Each episode depicted his struggle with respect for his family and sensitivity. Viewers can't help but weep although we already knew the outcome before the show aired. This shouldn't be surprising, since we've seen the crew's gift for presenting the worst of human events (the Katmai, the Big Valley, and too many others) without exploitation or oversentiment, but DC exceeded this viewer's expectations. Thank you for giving us, the fans, a chance to say goodbye to one of the show's most beloved captains.
Thank you, Jake and Josh, for sharing your dad with us. We had no right to intrude upon your family at such a time, but both of you, and Captain Phil himself, chose to give to us instead. May God bless the Harris family, and the soul of Captain Phil.
This season will forever stand as one of the series' finest for its spectacular cinematography, spirit of adventure, gritty reality and strength of human spirit. One not to miss.
 Only 4 DVDs, not 5? August 14, 2010

I noticed this box set includes only 4 DVDs; the box set the Discovery Channel store is offering contains 5 DVDs. This may be a cheaper (less complete) version of season 6.

Another riveting season of America's favorite crab fisherman. This season has it all-fights, dealing with loss, facing the best season yet for some, and worst for others. New boat the Kodiak comes back to the fold for crab season, captained by Bill Wichrowski, who we saw in Season 5 when the guys went on a fishing vacation. Captains Keith Colburn (Wizard) and Jonathan Hillstrand (Time Bandit) start the season with a physical fight, as Jonathan grows tired of Keith's bad-mouthing him, and trying to poach his crew. The two Jakes (Harris, Phil's son and Anderson, Sig's greenhorn from a year ago, switch boats for 3 weeks to experience life on another boat. In the fantastic episode, Bering Sea Swim Club, you get the perfect mix of all things crabbing... the dangerous thrill ride of the two Jakes switching back boats by going into the water, emotion as Sig's deck hand describes the day he lost his friend overboard just a few months ago, the antics of the Time Bandit crew, and of course, the ups and down of pulling in the haul. Captain Phil, in his last season, continues to highlight what made him famous- a good father, great fisherman, and a caring man. Big surprise ending regarding Jake, Phil's son in Episode 10 The Darkened Seas¿ when he reveals a dark secret. Episode 11 is the Episode where Captain Phil has his stroke, and filming continues while he is in the hospital. A season not to be missed. (If the DVD release does not have the 5 "After the Catch" specials, look around for them... all were taped after Phil's death and are a great tribute to him.)Warning: Highly emotional watching everyone's reaction to the news of Phil, watching these strong men cry at the news.
