Ice Cold Catch

Cod fishing off the Icelandic coast in the Arctic Circle is a tough job; two greenhorns leave everything behind to battle freezing waters and brutal storms in pursuit of big catches and even bigger paychecks.

It's the second week into a three-week trial of two fishing greenhorns who have given up life as they knew it in a bid to more than double their monthly pay packets fishing in the Arctic Circle.

An American defense contractor and a British yacht stewardess leave their jobs to pursue highly-paid fishing jobs in Iceland.

From the Lone Star State to the Artic Circle, new greenhorn Andrew comes aboard the Valdimar to start his grueling three-week trial. Disaster strikes when the Páll Jónsson sails back to The Void, and Caitlin’s mistake unleashes the wrath of Ingo.

Greenhorn Andrew begins his final trial week on the Valdimar; deckhand Caitlin faces a week at sea with the crew one man down; both boats return to their shared home port for the Christmas break, allowing the crews to meet for the first time.

Off the coast of Iceland, the fishing boat Valdimar hits an Arctic storm making fishing nearly impossible; on the Páll Jónsson, a horrendous injury puts the boat a man down, forcing the crew to work overtime.

Chaos ensues in the Arctic Circle when the Valdimar's generator cuts out, leaving the crew dangerously adrift; Greg's debilitating injury keeps him anchored on dry land; Caitlin undertakes her final test in uncharted waters.

Capt. Benni must send the Páll Jónsson into The Void: a deeper fishing ground to the far north of the Arctic Circle; Caitlin earns a permanent spot onboard; Greg's last-minute decision has massive consequences.

With a super storm on the horizon, Capt. Frosti changes course and sails the Valdimar to Crazy Ridge; Caitlin is tested when turbulent waters strike the Páll Jónsson; greenhorn Andrew's rashness puts his trial in jeopardy.

It's high season for Icelandic fishing where catches are bigger than the storms; deckhand Andrew faces an epic Arctic cyclone and sleepless nights; sudden steering malfunctions leave the Páll Jónsson exposed at sea.

The deckhands embark on their final week aboard; Caitlin struggles with painful tendonitis during a storm that jeopardizes the prize catch of the season; Andrew feels the heat with the fast-paced duties on the Valdimar.
