The Deadliest Catch!

Just read a couple of posts on the board about the show.

I've always wondered myself why they don't span the crab season out a bit more and actually get some rest instead of trying to kill themselves. I assume it has something to do with the fishing being regulated and they'll let only so many approximate pounds of crab being caught. That makes it a race. I know some crabbing seasons are longer than others. How long was the crabbing this season, just two weeks at most, right?

It does look like they can get so many crab depending on the population: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alaskan_king_crab_fishing
