‘Deadliest Catch’ new season kicks off with prelude show 'The Bait'

As reported Wednesday on BWW.com "Deadliest Catch" fans, who cannot get enough of their favorite show, will be treated to a series of shows, one hour before the airing of "Deadliest Catch" episodes on Discovery Channel.

In addition to the anticipated season nine of DC, new this season is "The Bait," a series of one-hour pre-game shows, beginning at 8 PM E/P on April 16. "The Bait" will give an inside look at the episode ahead from the captains - where they'll talk fishing, drama and what to expect on that night's episode of "Deadliest Catch."

As the fans hear snippets of the upcoming series, the anticipated date of their arrival creeps closer. Two new boats join the series, with familiar faces at the helm. The Kodiak is no longer on the show, as Captain Wild Bill Wichrowski is now the skipper of Cape Caution. The newest boat owner, who is deep in debt, is Elliott Neese, skipper of the Saga. Last season Elliott was the captain of the Ramblin' Rose, and spoke about having his own boat. This year it was possible and fans will be waiting to hear how he fares when he has nobody to answer to but the crab.
