‘Deadliest Catch' star Sig Hansen blames ego and greed for reckless calls at sea
"Deadliest Catch" star Captain Sig Hansen is no stranger to risk. While Hansen, 59, has spent decades navigating the brutal, icy waters of the Bering Sea, he told Fox News Digital that it's not just the storms and freezing temperatures that have put his life at risk. The veteran crab fisherman got candid about the dangerous decisions he's made at sea, including one call driven by ego that nearly cost him everything. "Well, it was the icing down… that was ego-driven," Hansen remarked. "And when you're ego-driven, and you're worried if you want to make more money and your greed is thinking more than your common sense, it's not good." "When you're ego-driven, and you're worried if you want to make more money and your greed is thinking more than your common sense, it's not good." Hansen reflected on a career full of high-stakes decisions and even higher consequences. Despite surviving some of the most treacherous fishing conditions, he admitted there are moments he'll never stop regretting. WATCH: 'DEADLIEST CATCH' STAR SIG HANSEN REVEALS HIS BIGGEST REGRETS, MISTAKES FROM DANGEROUS CAREER "There's a lot of regrets. I mean, good Lord, I had a heart attack at sea… Maybe I should have hung up the spurs a long time ago," Hansen said. "And to a fisherman, it's always that one bad season, right? So, there's a lot of regrets. Made a lot of mistakes. But we've been fortunate, haven't lost anybody and everybody's OK. So that's good." One near-tragic moment from early in his career that still haunts him was a mistake that led to a crew member's serious injury. "There was one guy that got hurt. I won't say the name. That was many years ago. I think I was like 27, 28 years old," Hansen recalled. "It was after a storm... I saw the wave coming, and then I didn't manage to hit the alarm… [to] notify him. When it hit him, it knocked him clean across the deck, and he really did damage to his back." Though the crew member recovered and returned to fishing, the accident shook Hansen. "Sometimes you're not talking minutes — you're talking seconds to where things can happen. It did, and I learned a valuable lesson." Hansen said his takeaway from that boating accident was not to be distracted in the wheelhouse. "It was that one split second... you take it for granted, and that's what happened. And after that, I never played music up there ever again," he laughed. "At least while I'm fishing." WATCH: 'DEADLIEST CATCH' STAR SIG HANSEN SHARES THE DANGERS HE'S FACED AT SEA THIS SEASON Even with decades of experience under his belt, the ocean has continued to humble Hansen — most notably during a terrifying moment when his boat began to ice over in sub-zero conditions. Then there was the fire — a moment caught on camera and made all the more intense by the fact that his daughter, Mandy, was on board. "We had a fire on board… My daughter was with us, and so that really is frightening," he shared with Fox News Digital. "I keep thinking back — had that fire broke out like an hour earlier, I think we'd have been in big, big trouble." Luckily, the crew was alert and ready, the "Deadliest Catch" star explained. "We managed because the guys were so attentive. And when the fire broke out, they were already ready to start fishing on deck... But they just had been in their bunk sleeping." Hansen's time at sea has tested not just his physical endurance, but his heart — both literally and figuratively. He suffered a heart attack on the job, and it was that health scare — along with the tragic loss of the F/V Destination in 2017 — that first made him question whether it was time to walk away from the ocean for good. Since then, he's been more cautious and more aware of what's at stake, as he told Fox News Digital what retirement may look like for him in the future. "I've been thinking about it ever since… more fearful when you put pots on the boat, more fearful for everybody else," he said. "And then you start thinking, my wife has spent decades waiting for me. Why not… give the last whatever I got to her. That's what I'm doing." In Season 21 of "Deadliest Catch," Hansen teamed up with returning captain Johnathan Hillstrand as the two headed to the abandoned Adak Island in search of a rumored giant king crab. Co-captaining the Time Bandit, the veteran fishermen kicked off a modern-day gold rush — but the race for the rare crab took a dangerous turn when chaos erupted aboard the Titan Explorer and forced Captain Jake Anderson's crew to abandon ship. As the crews pushed into uncharted waters to secure the lucrative haul, they were met with brutal conditions and dangerous mechanical failures — turning the high-stakes hunt for crab into a fight for survival. "Deadliest Catch" airs Fridays at 8 p.m. on Discovery Channel.

Seth Meyers Won't Be Distracted by Trump Fiddling on the Roof
Welcome to Best of Late Night, a rundown of the previous night's highlights that lets you sleep — and lets us get paid to watch comedy. Here are the 50 best movies on Netflix right now. Losing Ground President Trump took a walk on the White House roof on Tuesday, where he shouted responses to questions reporters lobbed up from the lawn, such as 'Sir, why are you on the roof?' On Wednesday's 'Late Night,' Seth Meyers said the incident was a case in point for 'the constant tension of the Trump era: Republicans doing something nefarious that will undermine democracy while the president does something weird and dumb that distracts us.' 'And it's not like you can just ignore it. If the president pops up on the roof of the White House out of nowhere, that's at least worth a mention on the news. I mean, if Obama had been caught climbing out a window in the middle of the night, I'm pretty sure Fox News would have covered it.' — SETH MEYERS 'Well, I'm supposed to be getting beamed back to my spaceship, but I guess I got the day wrong.'' — SETH MEYERS, imitating Trump 'Although I think I know why he went up there. He can't answer your questions if he can't hear them. I mean, if his poll numbers get any worse, he's going to start doing press conferences on top of the Washington Monument.' — SETH MEYERS 'Meanwhile, if I saw Trump on my roof, I would assume he's pulling a reverse Santa Claus — you know, going house to house taking toys away from kids. '[imitating Trump] I just signed an executive order that allows me to take your Labubu collection.'' — SETH MEYERS The Punchiest Punchlines (Come On Down, Grandpa! Edition) 'President Trump yesterday was seen walking on the White House roof for nearly 20 minutes. Man, he is so desperate to distract people from the Epstein files, he's literally doing 'Hey, look over here.'' — SETH MEYERS 'Yesterday, President Trump jokingly said he is ready to install nuclear missiles on the White House roof. Why not? Under the same roof they just had four years — years of nuclear waste.' — GREG GUTFELD 'In a new interview, Trump said that he'd like to run for a third term, but will probably not seek one. Trump said that he might not be sharp enough in his mid-80s, and then went back to wandering around on the roof of The White House: [yelling toward the roof] 'Come on down, grandpa!'' — JIMMY FALLON Want all of The Times?
