I am currnetly watching this series via streaming so I just finished season 14. During this season I lost ALL respect for Sig Hansen for two reasons. Reason #1. During this season Wild Bill lost a crew member over board. He got mad and hollered at his crew (which is why I am not a fan of Wild Bill, he ALWAYS gets mad first) His crew ignored him and set about quickly and efficiently rescuing said crew member. Once Bill settled down it was plain to see that he reacted to the situation and it shook him up. He apologized to all of his crew then phoned another captain for support?, reassurance? help?. Not sure but he obviously was seriously shook up. So he phoned Sig. Sig's reaction was to laugh at him. WRONG! WRONG! WRONG! So that burned up most respect.
Second reason. If Sig even sees another boat on the horizon he bitches and moans about people not respecting "his space" because he was there first. And then he proceeded to drop all of his pots directly on top of another boats gear and again, laughed it off. If I was the other boat I would have pulled my own gear, stacked it then pulled Sig's gear, emptied it and thrown it back. Slow, but funny right Sig?
