‘Deadliest Catch’ star Sig Hansen reconsiders retirement after decades at sea

After decades of fighting brutal waters and risking his life on the tumultuous Bering Sea, the “most deadly wrestling” star, Captain Sig Hansen admits that he is starting to see things differently – especially with regard to retreat.

The longtime star of the successful series Discovery Channel admitted that fear, loss and family had changed his point of view, and although the 59 -year -old man said last year that he did not intend to call him, he now reconsidered.

“Well, I’m a fisherman. You have to remember, you are talking to a professional liar here,” joked Hansen in an interview with People. “No, I think I still have a few years. I think about it all the time and when I think about” retiring “, it’s only because I lost so many people, and I’m more afraid every time we go out on the water.”

Hansen added that fear has become more difficult to ignore while he and his crew have braved merciles of 50 foot ruthless in perfidious waters.

“Some of this is fair, you think of your own mortality, and I’m afraid,” said Hansen.

“I don’t have the same mentality that I did as before, where you look like a challenge. And it’s always difficult, but it’s not the same thing.”

Hansen continued: “I went there, I did that, and now I want to spend more time with my family, my wife, look at every year and the decades she abandoned for me while waiting. It must go in the other direction, and therefore you see things differently, that’s all.”

The Norwegian-American resisted countless storms and the personal fear of health during his stay on “deadliest wrestling”, including a heart attack in 2016 and the emotional assessment of the loss of fishermen over the years.

Although Hansen is not quite ready to hang up his boots, he explained that his priorities can move, because the call of the house becomes stronger than the call of the sea.

“I will continue to do so,” he said about the captain of the North West. “But retirement is obvious.”

These days, Hansen has a new reason to stay closer to home.

“I have four grandchildren now,” he continued to share with people. “I used to laugh at all these ancients when they boasted of their grandchildren and spoke of the way it is their whole world. I say to myself” that you are crazy. Can’t we talk about fishing? “And now I’m one of those guys.

During the premiere of season 21 of “Deadlist Catch”, broadcast on Friday, Hansen joined the captain returning Johnathan Hillstrand while the two went to Adak island abandoned in search of a giant crab of the king.
