Episode 4
Exploring the harsh working environments endured by Alaska's fishermen. The infamous tides wreak havoc, and Taylor destroys his drive shaft in shallow waters.
A h-uile samhradh tha bradain a' dèanamh an slighe suas a Chaolas Cook airson sìolachadh anns na ceudan de aibhnichean ann an imrich fada deuchainneach. A' feitheamh orra tha Balaich Iasgach Alasga, deiseil airson an glacadh aon uair eile. Ann an dhà no trì sheachdainean feuchaidh iad an tuarasdal bhliadhnail aca a dhèanamh a dh'aindeoin trioblaidean teicnigeach, sìde chaochlaideach, daoine a' dol an aghaidh a chèile agus poilis na stà ite a' cumail sùil gheur orra.
Tha an là n ag adhbharachadh mì-rian. Tha Taylor a' dèanamh milleadh air a' chrann-draibhidh ann an uisgeachan eu-domhain. Tha Wes a' leigeil leis an sgioba cadal a bharrachd fhaighinn ach tha aige ri sabaid an aghaidh a' mhuir-trà igh. Tha Dino nas ciallaich agus a' dol gu muir nas trà ithe na cach agus tha e a' faighinn a bhuannachd is e a' glacadh pailteas èisg. Chan eil Gavin cho fortanach. Tha na lìn aige là n fiodha agus tha an fhairge a' dèanamh sgrios air a' bhà ta aige.
Every summer, schools of salmon swim from the Pacific Ocean through the Cook Inlet and up more than one hundred rivers and streams to spawn in what is an epic migration. Waiting at the end of their journey, the Alaskan fishermen are ready to net the catch of a lifetime. They attempt to make an entire annual wage in a few short weeks while facing mechanical breakdowns, unpredictable weather, heated confrontations and rigorous state police patrolling.
The infamous tides wreak havoc. Taylor destroys his drive shaft in shallow waters. Wes allows his crew to sleep in, and the late start also finds him battling low tide. Sensible Captain Dino leaves port early to avoid the tides and his reward is a tremendous fishing day. Gavin is not so lucky when massive waves ravage his boat and he's delayed picking giant pieces of wood from his net.
