Welcome Sig Hansen:
We’re joined on the Starline by author and captain of the legendary Northwestern on Discovery Channel’s “Deadliest Catch”. We welcome Sig Hansen.
Sig, let’s go Beyond the Mic. You’ve been fishing since you were 14. How has your love of fishing changed over the years?
Has technology changed the amount of time you spend out for you to fish your quota?
This year the red king crab fishery was closed in Alaska. Your family has depended on it for part of your income. Why did you believe that taking the chance to fish in Norway was the best option for your family?
Who mentored you fishing growing up and how did that experience changed the way you mentored others?
