History, formerly known as The History Channel, will premiere a new show titled Big Shrimpin' this Thursday at 9pm.
The show focused on shrimping in Bayou La Batre, which has struggled since Hurricane Katrina and the oil spill.
Captain Scotty operates a shrimp boat in Bayou La Batre and brought in 500 lbs of shrimp on Sunday.
He tells News 5 that business has been good for him.
Most people we spoke to hope that this new show will help raise awareness about the town's struggles. They also hope it shows that people living here can keep moving forward despite their troubles.
