On Tuesday, April 7, Mike Rowe is hosting a Deadliest Catch special called Before the Catch, where he will sit down (virtually) with the captains from the Emmy-winning reality series ahead of its 16th season premiere on Tuesday, April 14 at 8 p.m. ET/PT, followed by the series premiere of spinoff Deadliest Catch: Bloodline at 9 p.m.

According to the press release from Discovery, “For the first time ever, fans will get to see Mike interact with the captains via webcam as they look ahead to the unprecedented themes and dramatic events of the upcoming season of Deadliest Catch. Never shy about asking the tough questions, Mike will find out what it was really like for the Alaskan crab fleet as they faced off against their biggest rival ever this year – the Russian crab fleet. This season will bring new fishing alliances, former Catch captains returning to the fleet and a global, headline-grabbing winter storm that pounds their crab boats.”

“You never know what you’re gonna get when you sit and chat with a Bering Sea Captain,” Rowe said in a statement. “Especially a Bering Sea Captain 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.”

Discovery promises viewers that “there are no topics off the table.”

“Did Captain Sig Hansen’s big plans work out as well as he hoped with his daughter Mandy in the wheelhouse? Was the fortune that Josh Harris and Casey McManus funneled into the Cornelia Marie worth it to beat the Russians to the dock? And just how often did Captain Jake Anderson butt heads with Bering Sea legend Jonathan Hillstrand? Mike will also ask 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, an adventure captured on the new series Deadliest Catch: Bloodline.”

Mike and the captains will open up like never before – talking about previous seasons, looking ahead and sharing where they are right now… sheltered in place, just like the rest of America. In an Instagram post previewing the show, Rowe writes, “After the Catch is happening, the Quarantined Edition. It wasn’t pretty, but it was real. Very real. Great to catch up with these guys and get their take on these crazy times. Check it out April 7th, Tuesday night at 8 p.m., on Disco. (Although technically, this one airs a week before the premiere, so I think they’re calling it Before the Catch. Either way, it’s worth a look.)”

Before the Catch airs Tuesday, April 7 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Discovery.
