Discovery Channel fans are growing frustrated at Deadliest Catch, and many are voicing their opinions. There are some fans who even think the show should end. Why are they so irritated with the show that brings mariners out crab fishing in dangerous waters? Read on to find out their main complaints.
Deadliest Catch Critics Miss The Early Seasons
Many fans of Deadliest Catch mock the production team for what they think are silly scenes. For example, hardly anyone on social media believes those tough fishermen would sit and cry during interviews. Others feel that it’s become so fake and scripted that it hardly deserves the word “reality” to be associated with it.

Other Deadliest Catch fans hate that the show brought women onto the vessels. They claim it’s not sexist to criticize the girls who are not as physically strong as the men.

Discovery Channel’s Deadliest Catch Season 19 stars Captain Sig Hansen and his daughter, Mandy Hansen, aboard the F/V Northwestern.

Captain Sig Hansen was briefly married to Lisa Eckstrom
Deadliest Catch Season 19 fans occasionally see Sig Hansen’s wife, June Hansen, on the small screen. But Sig had a marriage before June. Sig was briefly married to his first wife, Lisa Eckstrom, and they had a child together.

Discovery Channel’s reality TV series, Deadliest Catch Season 19, focuses on the crab fisherman in the Bering Sea in 2023. The dangerous job can certainly pay well, but many viewers watching still wouldn’t perform the daily duties for the annual income. So, who’s the richest captain on Deadliest Catch? Here’s what to know.
Who is the richest captain in ‘Deadliest Catch’? ‘Deadliest Catch’ captains Sig Hansen and Keith Colburn | Gary Miller/FilmMagic
The richest captain in Deadliest Catch is season 19 star Sig Hansen, captain of F/V Northwestern.
Sig has a reported net worth of $3.5 million and brings in an annual salary of $500,000 to $1,000,000. He first started fishing while on his parents’ boat at the age of 14, and after high school, he made it a year-round activity. His father, Sverre, pioneered the Alaskan crab fishing industry, so it was always in Sig’s blood to take to the Bering Sea.

On tonight’s Deadliest Catch on Discovery, Captain Sig Hansen is unaware he is about to be pranked big time! The show sees Sig preparing to pass the captaining part of his duties on the Northwestern over to his brother Edgar, but letting go is hard to do for this feisty Norwegian-American cappy.
