"New faces and challenges in 'Deadliest Catch' Season 19"
The new season of "Deadliest Catch" follows third-generation fisher Sophie "Bob" Nielsen as she learns the ropes of the family business after inheriting her family's 74-foot wooden hull vessel. The show explores how Nielsen lost both of her parents "in a quick succession." The season chronicles how Alaskan crab prices have reached an all-time high, prompting veteran captains and a wave of newcomers to sail the high seas to earn big bucks quickly. Fishing continues to be a male-dominated industry, but Nielsen is determined to prove herself. The two-hour season premiere of "Deadliest Catch" airs April 18 at 8 p.m.
