Captain Sig Hansen
Aboard the Northwestern, crab fisherman Sig Hansen revels in the strategies and competition of crab fishing. He has been a captain for 18 years, and is the eldest of the three brothers who own the fishing vessel. A fourth-generation Norwegian fisherman, Sig is extremely superstitious. His list of must-haves before he starts each season includes yellow Post-it notes and pencils with erasers taped to the tops.
Edgar, the deck boss, is the youngest brother and is always ready with an opinion – even if no one wants it. Norman is the more reserved middle brother and works as a deckhand. Other deckhands appearing in Deadliest Catch series 5 working alongside the Hansen brothers are Nick Mavar Jr and Matt Bradley, both of whom have been a part of the crew for several years.
