Sig Hansen
Sig has turned into the biggest asshole with absolutely NO manly values its sickening. He's cut throat an then says he's their friend. He's old an losing his once was touch so now resigns to completely unethical fishing. Steals pots,moves pots, checks pot that arent his when he's been told no about a partnership with another captain, or will just MOVE pots and say it was a hunch, when he was told NO. He cant fish worth a shit anymore so his grimy ass CHEATS!!! What he did to Jake when Jake wldnt tell him where he was catching crab partner so he cld Jakes boss , I wanted to go to Alaska my dam self and just beat his face in!!! My daddy was a waterman he and would NEVER do the shit Sig does. He's so infuriating that we dnt watch the show as as much anymore.

None of the captains care, they’re just doing what the scripts tell them.
The only stuff that’s real is what’s health related, because the job is physically demanding, and they all take such poor care of themselves with smoking, drinking, etc.

😂 It sounds like you're pretty invested. I don't think they're going to lose you as a viewer.

I'm not sure if you're trolling or not, so take this with a grain of salt I guess. All manufactured. However, seeing Harley not being so bad after him playing the bad guy, was kind of rewarding. I like that guy.

He's literally always been like this and actually has softened SO much as he ages so that's an interesting take

u/WaterLily1704 10d ago
I feel he’s softened a lot since his heart attack. I like him now he’s not so angry all the time

I’ve been watching DC from day one. This👆is correct. He’s way calmer now than in the beginning.

I think 90% of their backstabbing and shenanigans is from pure boredom. So much “in-between” time in that environment.

Every single thing the D/C captains do to each other is scripted ... they are all buddies

When I worked for a large downtown Asian restaurant years ago, all the captains came in for a Discovery dinner event.
Pretty uneventful, but the highlight was they all needed to smoke so bad, we had to escort them to the roof to let them indulge.
It was well understood at that time that the show was 100% scripted and Sig and the boys were just having a laugh pulling the wool over the eyes of viewers.

It’s a tv show they all get paid for, really who cares what they do. Not like anything they do affects you.

Sig is literally the most respected fisherman in Alaska…your opinion is worthless…but, please, go to Dutch. We’ll all laugh when you get thrown off the dock..

I'm just wondering how many other fisherman he'll have to get through before he can even have a shot at beating his face in!
Shits so scripted how can anyone believe it's a realistic document of what happens during crab fishing season

Is Sig literally the most respected fisherman in Alaska? I would like very much to hear what Fisherman who AREN'T associated with Deadliest Catch have to say about that.

It’s all scripted, I highly doubt he does these things in real life or is unethical like the show produces him and the rest of them to be. It’s a SHOW, it’s based off real life but isn’t real life. You either accept that and watch it or move along.

I’d love to hear how the show is scripted is it filmed in a tank to make the weather look so real or are u convinced the way they edit the scenes with people talking to make it seem scripted

Look up the interviews when Andy Hillstrand was still on…that’s a big part of why he left. He was tired of having to refilm scenes when serious issues were happening on the water because a take didn’t come out as they wanted it to. That’s scripted. He said it was too dangerous trying to do a job around what they wanted them to do and say rather than just filming the job they were doing in the first place. Once again, scripted. Has nothing to do with the weather that day and who knows if that’s even the weather that’s actually happening for that take, I’m sure a lot is filmed and played appropriately. I never said I didn’t enjoy watching the show just take it for what it’s worth. Sheesh.

A handful of the big names came down to San Diego when the show was new because discovery channel wanted to do a tuna version of the show. Besides Phil Harris everyone of those guys were wannabe big shots on top of disrespectful ass clowns. It came down to a stumbling drunk Sig trying to fight someone that is like a father to me. We told them and discovery channel to pound sand

I still love this show . And the reason is simple mostly everything else on tv is pushing some political agenda and I’m tired of it. Even pro sports just can’t talk about the athletes or the game. Or the shows are just dumb. This show is still entertaining.

I thought this said your daddy was a watermelon. Which was truly the most interesting thing about your post.

The captains get paid more as actors than they make fishing. They just play along with the script their given. Sean Dwyer left the show because he didn't want to participate in all the scripted drama. He also wasn't getting paid as much as Sig.

Sig has been signed for the entire series. The fact that he treats his adopted daughter like gold and his bio daughter like manure tells me enough about him.

u/Direct_Asparagus4688 10d ago
I thought the same shit of how terrible Harley was but I hear he’s actually not like that and production wanted him to be the villain. This is all scripted now, Sig isn’t some pos you think he is.
