“We hope they only air good things of Todd on that boat.”Todd Meadows died while fishing on the Bering Sea. Deadliest Catch is set in the Bering Sea between Alaska and Russia, one of the most dangerous places in the world to fish, according to National Geographic. In winter, the water temperature goes below freezing, the air nears -10C and the boats are buffeted by howling winds. Aleutian Lady captain Rick Shelford said on Facebook the death was “the most tragic day in the history of the Aleutian Lady on the Bering Sea”. The page said Meadows died doing what he loved “crabbing out on Alaskan waters”.
