F/V Northwestern
Jul 1st, 2007 by admin
Fishing Vessel: NORTHWESTERN
Sig Hansen revels in the strategy and competition of fishing. He has been a captain for the past 18 years, and is the eldest of the three brothers who operate the family-owned vessel. A fourth-generation Norwegian fisherman, Sig tends to be very superstitious. The Seattle, Wash., resident operates the Northwestern with help and unsolicited opinions from his younger brother, Deck Boss Edgar Hansen, and his more reserved brother, Deckhand Norman Hansen.
Working alongside the Hansen brothers as deckhands are Nick Mavar Jr. and Matt Bradley, both of whom have been a part of the crew for several years.
HI I LOVE WATCHING THIS SHOW. GOOD LUCK IN THE NEW SEASON. I LIVE IN WESTMINSTER,MD. NINA
Edger UR AWESOME!!!!!! U Make watching so worth while.Hope ya’ll have a great season and be safe out there!!!! Can’t to watch each Tuesdays.
Great boat and crew! Hey what happened to Jake? He was over the top gung ho!
The F/V Northwestern is by far the most fun boat to watch on the show! I love your humor and antics. Of course, none of you are bad to look at either! Thanks for making me laugh and cringe. Chelsea in Maine
Just want to wish you all well.It has been a pleasure watching you all.May God bless you all in everything you do.Take care, Vanessa from El Paso,TX.
Hey guys just wanted to say you got a brother from Flatbush, Brooklyn New York wanting to hit the boat with you guys. I know its hard work so i will stick to Singing and song writing. You Hansen brothers are crazy. I love it. Would love to watch first hand one day…

The Northwestern is by far my favorite boat to watch. There seems to be a camaraderie amongst the deckhands and it’s cool to watch them all participating in an exciting catch. I’ve asked myself…….could I do that? On one condition…..you have my ride home waiting the minute I say get me the heck out of here!!!!! I love the challenge you all are faced with. There are times when I can see in the eyes of the captain that he’s worried about the safety of his men, is this real? The episodes where you’re fighting a ice storm are my favorites; to think that there are men out there trying to make a living in those conditions is uncomprehendable while I am snug in the comforts of my home. May God continue to watch over you all and your families. Go Sig!!!!!! Bring them in big boy!
love you Sig!!!! you to Jake Anderson dont give up i have a lot of faith in you!!!!!!! also the guy that almost went to jail i love you keep fighting!!!

Hi, interest post. I’ll write you later about few questions!
Good luck guys, come home safe, we lost my dad and his parents in 64 commercial fishing in Alaska I watch your show all the time and know if he were here today would watch you guys to. God bless you and your familys a fan from Lynnwood Wa.
Just wanted to send my heart-felt sympathy to Jake for the loss of his sister Chelsea. It was a very moving episode to see the human side of everyone on the boat as they helped Jake get to where he needed to be.
I love Jake and cried with him last night. Glad the Northwestern is going to keep him aboard. Love all those guys.
Jake my heart is with ya…..
Chelsea was so lucky and blessed to have you as a brother and better yet,…a best friend. You are a wonderful, sensitive man. Please don’t let life change you. We are all sending you good energy and prayers.
Sincerely,
Shawn
