BRECKENRIDGE, COLORADO -- Discovery Channel is celebrating its highly rated “Deadliest Catch” series with the sixth season of “After the Catch,” in which the captains and deckhands look back at the Alaskan crab season that was. Deckhand Travis Lofland of the Time Bandit had one highlight that he won’t want to relive, going overboard in the icy waters of Alaska. Lofland talks about that experience and discusses the Deadliest Catch video games that have flooded the market in this exclusive interview from the set of “After the Catch.” “Deadliest Catch” airs Tuesdays at 9pm ET and “After the Catch” airs that night at 10pm ET.

A longtime deckhand on the Wizard, Travis has now switched allegiences to Captain Keith's mortal enemies, the Hillstrands. After taking a gig racing an off-shore speedboat sponsored by the Time Bandit instead of working on theWizard in the shipyard, Keith suggested Travis find a new home. Travis made a call and was quickly snapped up by the Time Bandit. The swap was a blow to Keith, and the relationship between he and Travis frayed. On deck, Travis' outgoing personality is a good fit for the Time Bandit, but there's also a salty side to this crewman. 

In Travis Lofland's new cookbook, Catch!: Dangerous Tales and Manly Recipes from the Bering Sea (Thomas Nelson, Inc.), he teams with his Cordon Bleu-trained brother Chef Jason Lofland to share a selection of recipes perfected during a lifetime of outdoor pursuits and kitchen adventures, seasoned with stories from the sea.
