Things got intense for the Deadliest Catch crews as Typhoon Halong hit Japan and western Alaska on the Friday, May 15, episode. Johnathan Hillstrand (Time Bandit), Jake Anderson (Cornelia Marie), and Rick Shelford (Aleutian Lady) battled massive 25 to 30-foot waves as the cyclone hit the Bering Sea.
“A tropical depression when the fleet departed Dutch Harbor, Typhoon Halong barrels northeast to the Bering Seas’ 55,000 square-mile fishing grounds, trapping the fleet 200 miles from safe harper in pursuit of the $30/pound pure red king crab,” a narrator said at the beginning of the episode.
