WHAT'S MINE,

NO MATTER WHO STANDS
IN YOUR WAY.

THERE'S ANOTHER ONE!
RIGHT THERE!

IT'S, LIKE,
RIGHT NEXT TO OURS.

WHY?!

SEAN:
Man, there is gear everywhere.

Everybody knows that the crab
are in one spot.

SIG: They're hitting it
really hard out by the mud pit.

WHEN WE SET OUR GEAR,
THERE WASN'T A POT IN THE AREA.

NOW YOU SEE BOATS
COMING IN AND OUT.

Narrator: THE 2018 KING CRAB
SEASON IS ONLY A WEEK OLD,

AND THE COMPETITION IS FIERCE.

GUYS WERE WORRIED ABOUT CRAB
BEING IN ONE SPOT.

GET READY.

NOW IT'S STARTING TO LOOK LIKE
THAT'S THE CASE.

Narrator:
MOST OF THE FLEET IS PACKED

INTO AN 800-SQUARE MILE PIECE
OF THE WESTERN KING GROUNDS

KNOWN AS THE MUD PIT.

I'VE GOT TO GET ON THE MEAT.
I'M SETTING TO THE WEST.

Man: WHOO!

THERE'S BIG OPPORTUNITY,
AND YOU CANNOT HESITATE.

Narrator: AND WITH A
QUARTER-BILLION-DOLLAR

CRAB HOARD AMASSING BELOW...

EVERY MINUTE THAT TICKS BY,

THERE'S PROBABLY
ANOTHER POT HITTING THE WATER.

Narrator: ...EVERY CAPTAIN
PLOTS TO OUTMANEUVER

OR OUT MUSCLE THE COMPETITION.

THERE'S SO MANY THINGS THAT
REALLY HAVE TO FALL INTO PLACE

TO GET ON GOOD FISHING FAST.

I HOPE I FIND
A LITTLE HONEY HOLE

BECAUSE GOOD FISHING
DOESN'T LAST VERY LONG.

Sean: OH, LOOK AT THAT --

WE STARTED ON SOME REALLY
GOOD NUMBERS HERE,

BUT THERE'S MORE GEAR IN HERE
THAN THERE WAS BEFORE,

SO AS SOON AS SAGAIS HERE,

WE'RE GOING TO START
SETTING THESE GUYS DOWN, MAN.

PUSH THEM BACK OUT OF THE AREA.

SHOW OLD MAN WINTER WHO'S BOSS
AROUND HERE, YOU KNOW?

THIS IS NOT SIG'S BERING

Narrator: NOW WITH HIS PARTNER
ON SCENE...

HEY!

Narrator: SETTING DOWN IS
STRATEGICALLY PLACING POTS

ANTICIPATE THE DIRECTION

BEFORE THEY ENTER

OH, HE SET THESE THINGS
CLOSE, TOO.

SIG KNOWS THERE'S CRAB HERE.
