Moving on to the idea for the game, Sig told us that he got the idea from the popularity of the show and the amount of questions that they received on their web site. (Either JavaScript is not active or you are using an old version of Adobe Flash Player. We asked Sig if he ever thought that he would attain celebrity status being a crab fisherman. You could say he and his brothers are carrying on the family business. Sig Hansen grew up in the footsteps of his father, who was also a fisherman. He shared with us his thoughts on a lot of topics, and we'd like to share some of the question and answers with our readers in an effort to give them a better understanding of the man and the game. We were fortunate enough to have been given the opportunity to spend some one on one time with Sig aboard the Northwestern, and we had the opportunity to ask him some questions about the show, the soon to be released Xbox 360 & PC game, Deadliest Catch Alaskan Storm, and how it all came to be. Sadly, it's not a rare occurrence to lose a crew member or an entire vessel to these frigid and often stormy seas.

While fishing of various species of fish and crab are a year round industry in Dutch Harbor, Deadliest Catch focuses primarily on the king crab and opilio crab seasons which take place during the brutal winter months and result in the most dangerous conditions for the ships and their crews. The show takes place in the Bering Sea around the Aleutian Islands and the tiny fishing town of Dutch Harbor. The Northwestern was part of the inaugural season and has been a mainstay of the series ever since. The Discovery Channel originally ran a ten episode pilot season of Deadliest Catch in 2005. Captain Sig Hansen, deck boss Edgar Hansen, and engineer Norman Hansen come from a family of fisherman, men who have braved the untold dangers and perils of the arctic waters of the Bering Sea, untold until now. The Northwestern is one of the featured boats on the show and the Hansen brothers operate her and head up the crew. Deadliest Catch is the number one non-fiction show on cable TV.

If these names and titles mean nothing to you then you're obviously living under a rock. Sig, Edgar, and Norman Hansen, the Northwestern, Deadliest Catch. Interview and gameplay with Captain Sig Hansen
