The Season 22 premiere of Deadliest Catch began with a tribute to Todd Meadows, a deckhand who died in February while working on Captain Rick Shelford‘s Aleutian Lady boat. Todd was just 25 at the time of his death.

The episode kicked off with footage of Todd as he told the cameras, “It’s been one of my dreams and goals to make it up here. I’ve been to Alaska before, but never to fish, just to vacation and hang out with family. Everything up here that I’ve experienced so far is just so much bigger. Everything’s scaled up. It smells different, feels different.”
