While fishing may be a fun, outdoor activity for the whole family, others see it as a hard way of living life.  Fishing for a living isn‘t as easy as it sounds, and the Discovery Channel has already placed the spotlight in the captains and crews who have lived their lives by the grueling seas in search of fish. 

American Chopper and Deadliest Catch, two of Discovery Communications‘ highest-rated series, is about to enter into syndication, marking the company‘s first venture into syndication.

After the success of the three-part miniseries called America‘s Deadliest Season, creator Thom Beers brings in a show called Deadliest Catch. It is series that features the wild and treacherous life of the Alaskan crab fishermen. Following a documentary-style structure, the show documents the events onboard six fishing ships in the Bering Sea during the Alaskan king crab and Opilio crab fishing seasons.
