The Bait: Asleep at the Wheel

With tensions rising on boats the Bering Sea, the captains are telling it like it is on their very own pre-show, The Bait. This jam-packed hour is brimming with behind-the-scenes guests, exclusive footage, expert guests and sneak peeks of tonight�??s episode of Deadliest Catch. First time Captain Jake Anderson relives the monster wave that swallowed the Saga and reflects on lessons learned the hard way. The Cape Caution also took a huge wave last week on Deadliest Catch, while Wild Bill took a nap at the wheel. The Bait will show you extra, exclusive footage that may prove it wasn�??t just Bill who was to blame. Zack joins the table, and a heated discussion ensues. But how do tired Captains stay up through the endless hours in the chair? Mike Fourtner and Edgar Hansen will have a special presentation on the Watch Alarm. Though Edgar usually presents the Lightning Round, tonight he has to pass one of his own. Will he sail or will he fail when it comes to Keith�??s Northwestern challenge? And what does he think about the fact that he�??s still on deck while Jake is in the wheelhouse? Sig and Jake�??s partnership is next up on the roster, and the Captains have differing opinions about who shoulders the responsibility for the fractured alliance. But Jake isn�??t the only one to incur the wrath of Sig. A behind-the-scenes Bait Exclusive reveals a cameraman�??s dangerous and very costly mistake on the Northwestern. Volcanologist, George Bergantz, is here to scare the Captains half to death with expert insight into Dutch Harbor�??s very own volcano. And a fiery Josh Harris drops in to talk about his own explosion on last week�??s episode of Deadliest Catch. Then, the crab captains may be tough guys, but there�??s one man who�??s made every crabber cry, and there�??s footage to prove it. Executive Producer and Director of The Bait and After The Catch, Matt Bennett is reminiscing about the good times and sad times with the Captains, and offering up his own favorite moments. And finally, it�??s time to Play Catch with another edition of the Crewly-Wed game. And this time, it gets personal as brothers, Monte and Keith go head to head with father and son, Bill and Zack.
