interact with the captains via webcam, asking them questions such as what it was like for the Alaskan crab fleet to face off against the Russian crab fleet, and how often did Captain Jake

Anderson butt heads with Bering Sea legend Jonathan Hillstrand? The presenter will also speak to Josh Harris about his father, legendary captain Phil Harris, and his recently discovered

charts that led Josh on a chase to the wild shores of Hawaii, which will be seen on _Deadliest Catch: Bloodline,_ which airs after its parent show. _Before the Catch_ is produced for

Discovery Channel by Fremantle’s Original Productions and Silent Crow Arts. For Original Productions, executive producers are Jeff Hasler, Brian Lovett, Ernie Avila, Arom Starr-Paul, and

whose been cooped up for the last three weeks in isolation. Honestly, I have no idea what to expect, but I can promise the conversation will be lively.”
