This documentary takes you to the harsh working environments endured by Alaska's fishermen during the wild salmon season. Get an eye-opening insight into life on board and in the processing facilities.

Examine how the purse seine net fishery and the long line fishery operate all year round whilst battling the brutal Alaskan elements and witness the fiercely competitive annual sock-eye salmon fishing frenzy worth 60 million dollars.

In this episode, the Alaska Department of Fish has opened the season for the fifth day in a row. Skipper Dan's fishing mojo has been missing all season long so he calls in his eleven year old son for luck! The net explodes with fish and Dan declares Calvin is their good luck charm. The day ends with the boat full and Dan has a hard time getting back into the river to offload.

The Paragon makes it to the processing dock but is unable to offload. The rest of the fleet also had a huge fishing day and the processing plants are backed up. Show less
