LAST EDITED ON 05-21-07 AT 03:19 PM (EST)Did anyone catch the lobster fishing documentry that was on Discovery a couple of months ago. I don't know if it was a pilot for a Deadliest Catch spin off or what, but they were following a few lobstermen from Cape Cod during the summer fishing season.
I'm from New England and I sure wouldn't want to be out on a lobster boat in the middle of a New England storm, but this was clear sunny days on flat seas. To go from 15 foot Alaskan seas where 2 minutes overboard could spell your death, to Cape Cod in the middle of the summer was laughable.
The biggest problem the featured lobstermen had was a fleet of bottom dragging fishing boats that kept moving the lobster pots.
ETA:
I did a search and found the name of the show was Lobstermen: Jeopardy at Sea, it origanally debuted June 2006, and was filmed in the fall of 2005. It was on at midnight, so I only watched 15 minutes of it.
