It’s not hard to see whyDeadliest Catchis one of the most popular reality shows out there.
Catching Monstersmade its debut in 2015, a mere decade afterDeadliest Catch.
It more than lived up to its title, asa group of fishermen hunts down Bluefin tuna.

But what exactly makes it the best fishing show on the Discovery Channel?
It’s an undertaking that doesn’t just require skill, but also support from a fishing crew.
‘Bering Sea Gold’ follows boats braving the elements to mine gold in the sea.
Another major difference betweenCatching MonstersandDeadliest Catchis the weather conditions that both series take place in.
InDeadliest Catch, there are massive waves, rain,and other forces of naturethat impede fishermen’s hauls.
By contrast,Catching Monsterstakes place in relatively calm waters, where the sun seems to be always shining.
But the fact that they have to struggle in such pristine conditions is a major draw for the show.
Why Does Catching Monsters Only Have One Season?
Catching Monstersis available to stream on Prime Video in the U.S.
