Busting Crabs and Myths
Some of the “Deadliest Catch” fishermen were featured on the 198th episode of “Mythbusters” for their “Crabtastic Special.” Testing fisherman-related myths, the team confirmed that taking 20 minute naps every six hours during a 30-hour shift actually increases your performance. They were also able to bust the myth that the 800 lbs crab pots on the ships are indestructible. A detailed description of how each myth was tested can be found on mythresults.com.
