‘Deadliest Catch’ Season Finale: Wanna See a Really Gruesome Broken Leg? (Exclusive Video)

Here’s what happens when a thousand-pound crab pod meets tibia

| September 10, 2019 @ 8:37 AM

The title “Deadliest Catch” wasn’t just pulled out of a hat for Discovery’s hit deep-sea crabbing series.

On Tuesday’s season finale episode, Cody Rhodes (not to be confused with AEW’s Cody Rhodes) must be helicopter-lifted off of the F/V (Fishing Vessel) Karie Marie’s deck — but first, a Coast Guard rescue swimmer must get to him first.

Two hours earlier, Rhodes “took the falling force of a 1,000-pound steel crab pod to his left leg, twisting the flesh and bone, resulting in a gruesome spiral fracture of his fibula and tibia,” series narrator Mike Rowe tells us.

After eight frozen weeks of pain, captains and crews fight through one last Bering Sea squall to bring their winter season to a close. Captain Sean Dwyer of the F/V Brenna A is blindsided by a rogue wave, sending his crew running for cover and putting his greenhorn between a pot and a hard place.

Captain Steve “Harley” Davidson of the F/V Southern Wind unleashes hell on his greenhorn and nephew Brady.

On the F/V Northwestern, Captain Sig Hansen gives daughter Mandy a final test at the helm: Find crab or prolong an already costly Opilio fishery.

On the F/V Cornelia Marie, Co-Captain’s Josh Harris and Casey McManus’s dream of attaining more quota is on the line as they race to offload their million dollar catch under a growing threat of dead loss.

“Deadliest Catch” airs Tuesdays at 8/7c on Discovery Channel.
