(CBS/AP) ANCHORAGE, Alaska - A crew member on one of the fishing boats featured in "The Deadliest Catch" has been rescued in the Bering Sea and was flown to a remote Alaskan clinic.

The U.S. Coast Guard says the crew member aboard the 150-foot Wizard collapsed Monday afternoon and showed signs of shock and dehydration on board the vessel.


The Coast Guard didn't identify the 28-year-old man but says he's a part of the popular Discovery Channel show. Discovery didn't immediately provide information.

Coast Guard officials say a helicopter crew flew the man to a clinic in the Alaska Peninsula community of Cold Bay, 60 miles to the south. He was then flown to an Anchorage hospital.   More
