‘Deadliest Catch’ Captain Sig Hanson Angers Crew With Mandy
Captain Sig Hanson made some decisions about his 18-year-old daughter, Mandy Hanson that angered his crew. Furthermore, rough weather conditions made things uncomfortable for the Deadliest Catch crew as they hauled in the crabs in the stormy Bering Sea.
Discovery Channel’s Captain Sig Hanson Has A Hardworking Crew
Some people don’t like the direction that the Discovery show takes at the moment. And, it doesn’t seem to be about the fact that more women are at sea. Actually, it’s about them not pulling their weight. Viewers are already familiar with Sophia Nielsen on F/V Victory. In Mandy’s case, it’s more about her boss-dad favoring her. Naturally, it’s a hard and dangerous job, and the crew doesn’t like to go shorthanded.
It’s not the first time Captain Sig Hanson had family aboard the FV Northwestern. Probably, you recall the time that Clark Pederson, his son-in-law took over. That came when Mary Hanson expected her baby. The difference is that he at least already had some experience on the fishing vessel. In a new clip from the Discovery show, Mandy certainly didn’t help in a tough situation.
Deadliest Catch Mandy Gets Special Favor, Angers Crew
Lifting the pots is always a hard job on Deadliest Catch, and Jake Anderson was unhappy. That came when Mandy’s absence was noticed as everyone worked hard. Discovering her asleep on her bunk pushed up the temperature. Furious, he asked her if she was going to join them or just “lay there.” Well, she decided to continue her nap. So, he “lit her up” with some flames near her feet.
Captain Sig Hanson seemed more worried that his daughter got burned, which she didn’t. Finally, she joined the Deadliest Catch crew hauling out crabs. However, it didn’t last very long as the weather worsened. Fearing for his daughter, the captain called her up to the bridge and had her take over the wheel. Of course, as she’s inexperienced, her boat-handling caused multiple waves to pour over the rest of the crew. That made them even more unhappy, and they grumbled a lot about the special favor.
Captain Sig felt justified because she is his daughter, saying:
As a dad you want to protect them, you know?
As far as the crew was concerned, he should have left her at home. After all, Mandy Hanson is the daughter of the boss. While they let Sig know they weren’t happy, there wasn’t much they could do about it. Additionally, she admitted to feeling “nervous” at the wheel in rough weather.
What are your thoughts about Captain Sig Hanson letting Mandy pilot the vessel in rough weather? Do you agree that he’s placing her in an embarrassing situation with the rest of the crew? Is he making a mistake? Sound off in the comments below, and come back here for all your Deadliest Catch news.

I don’t think it was professional for Sig to let is daughter to operate the vessel. I also do not think she should be on the vessel if she cannot handle her weight. there are consequences for your actions, Good or bad! if it was a man not handling his weight I could only imagine the drama that would unfold on the vessel between the crew!! So come on Sig. I know it’s your daughter but in this case you cannot favor your daughter & you know this!!!! Take care of business before it takes care of you!!!
I have been watching the show since it first started and have seen things unfold to what they have become now . I feel sick as being very unfair to the crew as he has done many times in the past , with putting people at undo risk . I read your reply two times to make sure that I understood what you were saying. After doing that I couldn’t agree with you more On Point that you made.
She is his daughter and he has the right to do whatever he wants to as far as she goes. I also agree that she should not be subject to a double standard where he can do whatever he wants, and the rest of the crew get their unfair dangerous share. it is just not fair for the crew, and it’s dangerous for everybody on the vessel.
running a boat is a serious job. the lives are dependent on the individual at the helm. the fact that she is abfemale matters little but without the experience she is a risk. “Remember Sid your crew members also have families that are dependent on their return to port safely..
It’s Sigs boat. If he wants her safe ,he should teach her to drive in calm seas and then when it’s rough sea and Sig wants to keep her safer. let her drive in rough weather ,when she drives Sig should go down on deck and work with his crew. Because there all behind the wheel. How do you think the boat operates when there not fishing ,but driving from one string to another the crew rotates watches driving. Sig is not behind the wheel all the time. Sig should take her crabbing on trips where his daughter and him drive the boat only. I think after being on deck for 12 hours ,that deckhand has to go drive the boat because it’s his turn on watch.. That deckhand should get sleep.
I think she should only have galley service and “comfort” service to satiate the men after a hard shift. She is probably qualified for both those duties. that is all.
