There's an area along the edge of the Pacific Northwest known as the `Graveyard of the Pacific' where rapidly changing and harsh weather conditions and dangerous coastal features lead to perilous predicaments for fishermen. The risk doesn't stop them from heading out into Yaquina Bay in their fishing vessels in search of Dungeness crabs. This show in the `Deadliest Catch' franchise shows what it's like for the fishermen who head out into harm's way to try to reel in some of the coveted crabs during Dungeness season. The featured captains include Gary `The Ripper' Ripka, who has more than 35 years of fishing experience under his belt.
