Sig Hansen

Currently, Hansen serves as the full-time captain during King crab and opilio crab seasons on the "Northwestern", with his youngest brother Edgar as deckboss and his middle brother Norman as a deckhand.

Personal life

Hansen is married and has two daughters. The family lives in Seattle, near the rest of the Hansen clan.

Sig, like his brothers, speaks fluent Norwegian and says he learned Norwegian long before he learned English because his Norwegian parents spoke the language at home. He says he follows the Norwegian fisherman's diet while at sea: coffee, cigarettes and chocolate. Due to the popularity of the show Sig has attracted some fans who have become very obssessive and tend to forget that he is a family man.
