@@BikingVikingHH The proper thing to do when you see ice starting to build up like that is inform the Captain of the vessel. Even if said Captain is asleep, you wake them up and inform them. If she alerted the Captain earlier, he could have had the crew out busting the ice well before having to throw all of the pots overboard to avoid sinking.
I really like and respect Sig Hansen. He has seen some terrible things happen out there, and for him to take the time and spend the money to send his baby girl home is just so selfless and caring. He's going to have one less relief captain with her gone, and they are going into some ruthless seas on this trip out, so he is really taking the weight on his shoulders to protect her. This particular clip has made me really respect that man. Sig is the best captain on the Bering Sea, without a doubt.

Sig's a father first, captain/fisherman second and businessman third. I'd say he has his priorities straight. He can't be as effective as a captain/fisherman if he is distracted and making decisions as a father. He seems to operate based on his experiences and gut instincts, they got him this far, tough to start ignoring them when he's been served so well by them for so long.
Great job you two. This was 100% the decision I would have made. You worrying about her on the boat in those conditions could put your entire crew in jeopardy, lose focus for 1 minute and it can be over. She’ll thank you for this. World class Sig…world class my man.
@@mbm460ns5 Mandy has done the work to become a captain of large fishing vessels. I think she has had it way easier than most on her journey to the captain's chair, but she has educated herself as best as she could. That said, she is a cutie and she does put the asses on the couches and has more folks watching the show!
Sig has lost two very dear friends when crab boats have gone down in the last 4-5 years. As you age, and as you see things happen, you gain the understanding that what you think is "immortality", and the idea "it will never happen to me" are illusions, that you can no longer afford.
I think as Sig has gotten older, he's coming to realize even more than he already does, just how easily families can be devastated should something happen on the Bering Sea. If the Northwestern happened to go down, somehow, with Sig, Mandy, her husband, and Edgar/Norman onboard, that'd wipe out most of the Hansen family in one go and one of the few remaining members would have to grow up telling people why half their family just all died one day.
Im sure when he saw the ice he instantly went to the Scandies Rose, one of the safest boats in the fleet going down to ice with father and son on board.
Sig did the right thing. And Mandy deep down knows that and so does the crew. If they were lost at sea, the baby would have no mother OR father. Good call by Sig.
@@jasonm949 Any boat needs people that can do the grueling physical work which is the majority of their work. And look at the previous mistakes she has made before. She's not nearly as ready to fully Captain as she THINKS she is. She waited AN HOUR with the boat icing up to wake him. Sig knows and she herself knows how UNFORGIVING fishing is, especially in terrible weather. She could have gotten them all killed, left her and her husband's baby parentless. Jake's niece can run circles around Mandy
Never a wrong decision when looking out in best interests of your nearest and dearest. No doubt here. You saw the bigger picture and it was right call. That call was love and caring
important to note this was just as good for sig as it was for mandy and the baby, sig already had a massive heart attack so he really doesn't need that added pressure and stress. Tough call to make but it's for the better for both of them.
Like he said, he wouldnt have said it years ago, but Scandies Rose, Destination, loss of Phil, his own medical issues.. also the fact that he is grandfather and has his daughter and son in law on one boat..
Not really a tough call when you think about it. I think Mandy also realized it when she took a minute to think about it.. some things you simply don’t gamble with.
Powerful moment ! A baby at home when mommy and daddy are on a cork screw bobbing in the middle of the sea with ice on it ? Papa Sig's intuition was the best decision maker here !

@@simonshotter8960 In what way ?? As a recovering functional addict we may sacrifice the prize ,but to have a Family member who did not totally disown us gave us a place at the helm, well they owe us nothing .Don,t bet the business or Ship and Crew on one who is troubled I wouldn't Family or not .And what Brother is that he shit on as Family if that's the issue . ?? Sig is Hard and a Prick but He has changed and I like the new Sig.And Mandy is Solid .But also a new Mom.
So admirable how she leaves her baby at home while risking her life for no reason. When I had a baby, I decided not to be a cop anymore becasue I didn’t want to risk my life and leave my kid with no one. Feminists are so stupid. Like go home and raise your child
Sig made the right call to protect his amazing daughter. Glad everyone is safe. Mandy is such a pillar of strength and has a great deal of human tenacity for the business. I respect her greatly for making a hard call to return home. Still, with both her and her husband plus two other family members on the boat it was just too risky to possibly leave a newborn with no parents and an added possible loss of extended family.
Women are sick of being expected to sacrifice their livelihoods to be stuck at home with babies all the time. She was doing this to feel included in life outside simply being seen as a mom. Nothing prepares people (particularly moms) for the stress and alienation from normal life that comes as an unintended consequence of having kids, even if you want them in the first place. He made the right decision regarding her safety, but she had every right to be angry at his decision.
@@Kay_The_Coffee_Weirdo "Stuck at home" with her baby? Is that how you interpret this? That's where most mothers of infants WANT to be. I could be wrong though.
@@Kay_The_Coffee_Weirdo she is a woman and a mother. So she has to be both. But because a woman makes a choice to be a mother. I'm sorry girls. The baby must come before yourself
He struggled to communicate it, but he knew that as long as she was onboard in that situation given the bigger picture he wasn't going to be able to devote his full attention to the task at hand. And he knew that would really increase the odds of getting someone injured or killed.
@@pernillemig112 yeah i agree she actually did a good job. She saw the issue and woke up the captain. He was worried about her so was yelling out of concern.
@@Ooshwink82 as a dad I'd do the same but I don't see him asking about or knowing if any of the other crew has a baby at home. If their that in danger then this should be a volunteer thing.
Totally respect his decision!!! There is NOTHING on Earth that I love more than my Daughter!!! My Baby-Girl means everything to me and protecting her (anyway that I possibly can) is the #1 priority!!
I was an avid fan of this show for its first couple seasons. It fell off my radar after that for no apparent reason, but my favorite boat was always the Northwestern, and Sig was always my favorite captain.
This is a serious lesson any new parent has to learn. The child's future and well being is always what comes first when making decisions. It sucks not having money but like Sig said, if the boat goes down then what? The child doesn't have a Mom or a Dad.
@@NoBody11010 it's obviously what Sig is talking about. I get what you're saying but when it comes to your child, you have to think ahead and make smart decisions. There's couples with children that don't fly together for the same reason.
Why wasn’t that conversation had before she ever got on the boat???? She had no business being out there in the first place!! It was irresponsible of ALL of them. Thank God she didn’t kill them all by waiting any longer, letting that ice accumulate for an hour. No wonder Sig was so upset with her.
@@tanyarobinson2098 Exactly, and WHY Sig even allowed her and her husband on the same trips AFTER them having a baby is truly beyond me with him knowing how truly unforgiving the waters are, how many people that he personally knew of who were seriously injured, even killed in his years of fishing. That was sheer foolishness having them BOTH on the same trip. Tell them 1 or the other. Not both. 1 HAS to go the hell home to their child. She could have gotten everyone killed by waiting to wake him. She's not as ready to fully Captain as she THINKS she is and she needs to face reality quickly. Jake's niece however has really proven herself
Sig did the right thing!!! He's in charge and responsible for everything that goes on that boat good or bad - doesn't matter. His daughter with at baby at home has no business being on a boat in those kind of conditions. Like Sig says, if the boat goes down than who is going to be there for the baby! Best point that I ever heard Sig make, and I've watched many of the Deadliest Catch Shows. Family and safety comes first - always!! Sig is a caring father and does not want anything to happen to Mandy and her husband, and I think Sig just knew what he had to do. Tough decisions have to be made in life but in the end it was the right decision - and that is what matters!!!!!
Sig needed to be fully into the trip. He was distracted by his fear and that meant he needed to make a hard choice. I admire his difficult decision and Mandi for realizing she needed to meet him halfway on this.
Just proved , all my years of watching this show. Sig has always showed true. He’s a great captain. Many of them are but sig , he’s just different. His boat would be the only one I’d get on other then Time Bandit.
Every baby needs the mother in his or her immediate vicinity, especially in the first year of life. This is very important for the development of the child but is grossly underestimated nowadays. The grandfather sensed what was good for the child and it's also better for his daughter.
The Bering Sea cares not of your family and will swallow you down, Captain Sig knows that. There comes a time when the jewels cease to sparkle, when the gold loses its luster, when the throne room becomes a prison, and all that is left is a father's love for his child.
I’m sure Mandy was very upset being kicked off the boat but I hope she understood that her father is doing this because he loves her and does not want to put her in unnecessary danger. The Bering Sea is one of the most dangerous stretches of water in the world
This was 100% the right call!!! As hard as this was he will always be appreciated for this in the long run and his grand children will be able to thank him one day for that!! This is a lesson maybe all of us those of us who have children should learn, if we don't feel so.ethings right for the well being of the family no matter how hard the choice is sometimes the uncomfortable choice is the right one! I'd rather see my kid disappointed in the moment then lose her and regret it! Sig is an amazing example of how we should do protect our children and family even in tough moments!
I love seeing Mandy on the northwestern but sig has a point she know has a baby and having both parents plus a grandfather and an uncle all on the same boat ,if something where to happen and the boat sinks sailor literally will loose half of her family in one shot. They both made a difficult decision but it was for the best for now you know sig will definitely have Mandy back on sooner than expected How did I get over 100 likes on this comment that’s so crazy thank you everyone
Zig is a responsible father, i can say it, based on his decision , he wanted to protect mandy and his grandchild if theres something bad will happen the baby will lose both parents and grand dad, nice move capt sig
Sigs a grandpa now and I think he was just looking out for his grandchild and his own child. If anything happens to the boat that kid could loose it’s mom and dad
@@ryans413 sig realized if mandy didn't wake him up thinking its her job to have taken over ,the boat Would have rolled over her skil will never match her fathers
Thats the benefit of being the daughter of the captain,he won't risk her/grandkids well being but she will be fine.....he won't let her and her family go hungry.Fortunate position to be in
Hard enough having a brother on board. Sig is Mandy's Dad and she's a new mother AND the father is on the boat!!!! Good move Sig. I'm a Dad and it's a no brainer. Not her fault. The ice is how the Destination went down which is in Sig's mind as well no doubt.
When i was on duty as a medical doctor during the COVID pandemic, my dad had the exact expression as Sig the moment he realized how dangerous the situation was. He freaked the hell out and nearly cursed the hospital to get me home immediately. I fought back bec it was literally my job to take care of the sick but watching this made me understand his worries better. Tough old dads with goods hearts are blessings, i swear.
Nearly as bad and the black plague it was. Your idiot father knows that you have free will right? If you don't like the working conditions you can quit? I'd be horribly embarrassed if a family member did that to me.. especially if you're a freaking doctor? Guess I'm glad my parents didn't cradle me into my 30s like some people
i love how Old School Sailor Sig is. Family. Fishing. Finances. my grandpa was same. We missed his presence on many important occasions but he gave us everything & brought us to USA.
Sig did the right thing as the Captain of the boat as a father , and more importantly as a grandfather she has a baby just months old that needs her at home especially when both parents are on the boat with sig no brainer .....
This situation is just like the Sullivan brothers during world war 2. All of them were on the same ship and all lost at the same time. It was a hard decision for Sig but he is right. The risk out weighs the reward in this situation. That’s what a father does. Much respect for him cause I know it wasn’t easy.
As a parent your child will always be that little kid that you protect with out thinking about it, you will always love them as that little defenseless child no matter how old your child gets. Its just the way it is, nothing you can do to change that!
Wise decision on Sigs part. It's a whole family he is talking about. In my corporate career, the company would never have more than two of us on the same airplane. In the future, if the weather looks iffy, maybe Mandy should take a pass. It is so hard on Sig because he taught Mandy more than anyone he has ever coached and trusts her.
Man this brought a tear to my eye he's enough bad stuff to know where and when to draw the line sig your the man and Mandy has a great dad indeed be safe sir and catch them crabbys
When she said 7:04 “I was in the same position last year, it’s not that big of a difference!” THAT really pissed me off because thats both incredibly naïve and selfish to say as a mother with a newborn at home but when she quickly realized how f-up that was to say and at 7:19 “It’s a huge difference actually” that was such a huge relief! at the moment i knew she’s gonna be a good mom. ❤️
I have a lot of respect for Mandy. She doesn't *have* to do any of this. But she knows it's in her blood, and she is earning her legacy just like her dad and his dad before her. Being a woman and being a mom on top of that makes it twice as hard for her to be out there, and she's not giving up. Her grandfather would be very proud.

I got mad “sole survivor policy” vibes. The Sullivans, etc. SPR. Mandy snapped out of it after a few minutes. Everything changes when you have children, everything. At least, if you have a soul, it ought to.
Would you say same if she was a male? If not...misogyny. It is her job/career, which Sig just hurt. She is gonna face this sooner or later. Sig was a coward.
@@arthurunknown8972 SHE could have gotten everyone killed, left their daughter parentless by waiting an HOUR to wake him. She is not as ready to fully Captain as she thinks she is. WHY did she wait AN HOUR. That was sheer irresponsibility on her part. Sig knows it and SHE knows it. Sig made the right call, He as well as she knows how unforgiving the seas are, the people they've known over the years that were killed due to that very situation happening. A crew is only as strong as their weakest link and she is indeed a weak link.She has made NUMEROUS mistakes before. Jake's niece runs circles around Mandy, She's proven she can handle the hard shit. So misogyny aint got shit to do with it.
@winniethepoohandeeyore2 first, her license is higher than his. Second, she didn't put anyone in danger. Third, to get better, she needs sea days, not land days. Fourth, he did not send her home for performances issues. He sent her home because she was female. If male, he wouldn't have done so, which is the definition of sexual discrimination. Everyone at sea faces the possibility of death. That's the career she picked & why they make big money. Btw, the boat didn't sink, so she was relieved for nothing but Sig's cowardice.
Sig, Excellent representation of exactly how dangerous those icing conditions are. Best eye opening honest example of how dangerous the job can be. Totally respect Mandy for hopping off this trip. Saw those conditions with Bob Miller on F/V Cascade.
Not an easy decision but as a Dad I get where he he is coming from. having been in a horrible storm with my Dad and brother many years ago and being lucky to make it back it's probably the best call even though it was tough to do.
Hey been watching you guys and girls for long time Mandy great to see take your dads advice thats awesome family first thats awesome!! The NORTHWESTERN IS AWESOME BOAT AWESOME CREW. KEEP UP THE GREAT FISHING !!!
This is one of the down sides of being a captain: making hard decisions. This one is especially hard since it's his daughter. Cudo's for making the right decision, Sig!
I am not sure why she would leave a baby like that. Surely family could take care of her with the shortfall. Baby first!! Glad she came around. Sig has always been a solid guy.
Sig has been my favorite captain on the show since I was a little kid watching this show on a 12inch CRT TV in the kitchen. Its stuff like this that always made me root for him and hope that he would not have any issues and that made the biggest catches/most money.
the old sig wouldve given her crap if she wanted to leave but ever since he had his heart attack its really opened his eyes about family and life
Capt Sig is one of my favorites along with Capt Phil (RIP) but I've noticed how much he's changed and calmed down.. makes me like him even more
Ice accumulation from freezing spray is exactly what ended up sinking F/V Destination. It's easy to see why Sig is freaking out the way he is.
Yah and it's not the only boat to be taken down like that

He seems to operate based on his experiences and gut instincts, they got him this far, tough to start ignoring them when he's been served so well by them for so long.
Well said
You put it into words perfectly, well mentioned sir.
Great job you two. This was 100% the decision I would have made. You worrying about her on the boat in those conditions could put your entire crew in jeopardy, lose focus for 1 minute and it can be over. She’ll thank you for this. World class Sig…world class my man.
You can tell she really wanted to be on the ship. Sig made a tough call, and I hope Mandy realizes just how right he is.
She's only there for the cameras.
@@mbm460ns5 Are you also mad about The Little Mermaid? I bet you are.
@@mbm460ns5 Mandy has done the work to become a captain of large fishing vessels. I think she has had it way easier than most on her journey to the captain's chair, but she has educated herself as best as she could. That said, she is a cutie and she does put the asses on the couches and has more folks watching the show!
@@92Jdmsupra Are you mad that it's going to flop like every other live action remake?
@@victorlassiter8827 That's really cute you think this show is real and not scripted
Sig has lost two very dear friends when crab boats have gone down in the last 4-5 years. As you age, and as you see things happen, you gain the understanding that what you think is "immortality", and the idea "it will never happen to me" are illusions, that you can no longer afford.
I think as Sig has gotten older, he's coming to realize even more than he already does, just how easily families can be devastated should something happen on the Bering Sea. If the Northwestern happened to go down, somehow, with Sig, Mandy, her husband, and Edgar/Norman onboard, that'd wipe out most of the Hansen family in one go and one of the few remaining members would have to grow up telling people why half their family just all died one day.
Im sure when he saw the ice he instantly went to the Scandies Rose, one of the safest boats in the fleet going down to ice with father and son on board.
Thanks captain obvious
Mandy doesn’t give a fuck about her kid and she doesn’t even love her kid
Mandy is just afraid of being alone
@@trentonallen6965 She needs to be home with that baby... She's kinda greedy her husband is on the boat!
Sig did the right thing. And Mandy deep down knows that and so does the crew. If they were lost at sea, the baby would have no mother OR father. Good call by Sig.
So why not send the father home? I thought women could do anything a man can, and are equal?
@@jasonm949 youre funny
@@jasonm949 either bate or a incel
@@jasonm949 Any boat needs people that can do the grueling physical work which is the majority of their work. And look at the previous mistakes she has made before. She's not nearly as ready to fully Captain as she THINKS she is. She waited AN HOUR with the boat icing up to wake him. Sig knows and she herself knows how UNFORGIVING fishing is, especially in terrible weather. She could have gotten them all killed, left her and her husband's baby parentless. Jake's niece can run circles around Mandy
@@jasonm949 maybe because Sig loves his Daughter?
Never a wrong decision when looking out in best interests of your nearest and dearest.
No doubt here. You saw the bigger picture and it was right call. That call was love and caring
The look on everyone's face when they realized if that boat goes down that child has no one
That's not a child
@@davidreed3357 They are talking about her child.....
Yah what a stupid mother to put herself in a position to risk her life when she has a baby at home.
@Blablabla44475 what a stupid person to think a pregnant women can't come out of a house.
@@Blablabla44475 you sound completely uneducated
important to note this was just as good for sig as it was for mandy and the baby, sig already had a massive heart attack so he really doesn't need that added pressure and stress. Tough call to make but it's for the better for both of them.
Like he said, he wouldnt have said it years ago, but Scandies Rose, Destination, loss of Phil, his own medical issues.. also the fact that he is grandfather and has his daughter and son in law on one boat..
Not really a tough call when you think about it. I think Mandy also realized it when she took a minute to think about it.. some things you simply don’t gamble with.
Yea bad heart plus heavy smoker Sigs days are numbered.
Sig loves Mandy and their family. Some times love is tough decisions. 🥰
Powerful moment ! A baby at home when mommy and daddy are on a cork screw bobbing in the middle of the sea with ice on it ? Papa Sig's intuition was the best decision maker here !
Very touching,you can tell she hated going,But respected her father’s decision!!GOOD GIRL MANDY!!

I love Sig for Caring about his family so much!❤🚢
Say that to his brothers….
@@simonshotter8960 In what way ?? As a recovering functional addict we may sacrifice the prize ,but to have a Family member who did not totally disown us gave us a place at the helm, well they owe us nothing .Don,t bet the business or Ship and Crew on one who is troubled I wouldn't Family or not .And what Brother is that he shit on as Family if that's the issue . ?? Sig is Hard and a Prick but He has changed and I like the new Sig.And Mandy is Solid .But also a new Mom.
@@SuperCody1124 maybe his actions forced his brother into addiction….
This was a Captain and a Father decision. Good move Sig. It made Mandy stronger. Father knows best!
that was clearly the Father speaking and not the Captain! Mandy is very lucky to have such a caring father!!!
Awwww A Dads love is will always make you go "WHOS CUTTING ONIONS?"
What a proud, strong woman she is. Respect.
So admirable how she leaves her baby at home while risking her life for no reason. When I had a baby, I decided not to be a cop anymore becasue I didn’t want to risk my life and leave my kid with no one. Feminists are so stupid. Like go home and raise your child
Sig made the right call to protect his amazing daughter. Glad everyone is safe. Mandy is such a pillar of strength and has a great deal of human tenacity for the business. I respect her greatly for making a hard call to return home. Still, with both her and her husband plus two other family members on the boat it was just too risky to possibly leave a newborn with no parents and an added possible loss of extended family.
I Luv how much Sig Luvs his Family 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️ Its how we all should be
And always passing down the knowledge. He's such an OG.
Her baby needs her more than the boat. Good call.
And what a perfect name for her daughter!! ❤️
Absolutely
Women are sick of being expected to sacrifice their livelihoods to be stuck at home with babies all the time. She was doing this to feel included in life outside simply being seen as a mom.
Nothing prepares people (particularly moms) for the stress and alienation from normal life that comes as an unintended consequence of having kids, even if you want them in the first place.
He made the right decision regarding her safety, but she had every right to be angry at his decision.
@@Kay_The_Coffee_Weirdo "Stuck at home" with her baby? Is that how you interpret this? That's where most mothers of infants WANT to be. I could be wrong though.
@@Kay_The_Coffee_Weirdo she is a woman and a mother. So she has to be both. But because a woman makes a choice to be a mother. I'm sorry girls. The baby must come before yourself
@@Ksane of course. When you as a woman choose to be a mother. The baby must come first
He struggled to communicate it, but he knew that as long as she was onboard in that situation given the bigger picture he wasn't going to be able to devote his full attention to the task at hand. And he knew that would really increase the odds of getting someone injured or killed.
It's nice to see Sig finally treat her like a crew member instead of a spoiled daughter. Yell at her I love it lol
That wasn’t him yelling at her as a crew, that was a dad yelling at his daughter out of concern 💀
@@pernillemig112 yeah sure whatever you say😉
@@pernillemig112 yeah i agree she actually did a good job. She saw the issue and woke up the captain. He was worried about her so was yelling out of concern.
@@Ooshwink82 as a dad I'd do the same but I don't see him asking about or knowing if any of the other crew has a baby at home. If their that in danger then this should be a volunteer thing.
@@pernillemig112 I agree with you, he was definitely concerned. Damn near scared.
Totally respect his decision!!! There is NOTHING on Earth that I love more than my Daughter!!! My Baby-Girl means everything to me and protecting her (anyway that I possibly can) is the #1 priority!!
@B-Man exactly.
Would you name your daughter sailor?
A fathers undying love for his daughter. No better sight than that.
3:31 " we gotta do something, we gotta do it NOW!".... "Sip".. 😅😂
I was an avid fan of this show for its first couple seasons. It fell off my radar after that for no apparent reason, but my favorite boat was always the Northwestern, and Sig was always my favorite captain.
Agree, he is the most competent
its amazing what age, knowledge and love does to a salty crab fisherman. I could really see Sigs concern for his daughter and his grandchild
This is a serious lesson any new parent has to learn. The child's future and well being is always what comes first when making decisions. It sucks not having money but like Sig said, if the boat goes down then what? The child doesn't have a Mom or a Dad.
Or a Grandfather....
@@NoBody11010 it's obviously what Sig is talking about. I get what you're saying but when it comes to your child, you have to think ahead and make smart decisions. There's couples with children that don't fly together for the same reason.
Why wasn’t that conversation had before she ever got on the boat???? She had no business being out there in the first place!! It was irresponsible of ALL of them. Thank God she didn’t kill them all by waiting any longer, letting that ice accumulate for an hour. No wonder Sig was so upset with her.
@@tanyarobinson2098 Exactly, and WHY Sig even allowed her and her husband on the same trips AFTER them having a baby is truly beyond me with him knowing how truly unforgiving the waters are, how many people that he personally knew of who were seriously injured, even killed in his years of fishing. That was sheer foolishness having them BOTH on the same trip. Tell them 1 or the other. Not both. 1 HAS to go the hell home to their child. She could have gotten everyone killed by waiting to wake him. She's not as ready to fully Captain as she THINKS she is and she needs to face reality quickly.
Jake's niece however has really proven herself
Sig has always been my favorite. This video is part of the reason why.
Sig knows what hes doing. Every call he makes, just go with it.
Sig is one wise man this really made me respect him even more
Sig did the right thing!!! He's in charge and responsible for everything that goes on that boat good or bad - doesn't matter. His daughter with at baby at home has no business being on a boat in those kind of conditions. Like Sig says, if the boat goes down than who is going to be there for the baby! Best point that I ever heard Sig make, and I've watched many of the Deadliest Catch Shows. Family and safety comes first - always!! Sig is a caring father and does not want anything to happen to Mandy and her husband, and I think Sig just knew what he had to do. Tough decisions have to be made in life but in the end it was the right decision - and that is what matters!!!!!
Sig needed to be fully into the trip. He was distracted by his fear and that meant he needed to make a hard choice. I admire his difficult decision and Mandi for realizing she needed to meet him halfway on this.
Just proved , all my years of watching this show. Sig has always showed true. He’s a great captain. Many of them are but sig , he’s just different. His boat would be the only one I’d get on other then Time Bandit.
I'd definitely get on Cornelia Marie if captain Phil Harris was still alive. Now his son Jake runs the boat. Don't think I'd board it now!!💯
@@brianedward6417 Phil Harris was
a legend. Bad ass captain.
@@Tdaddy9510 Jake is cool though. I think the younger brother still on drugs..smh
Josh was running the CK but he's a pedophile
@@brianedward6417 u mean Josh cuz Jake is his younger brother
Every baby needs the mother in his or her immediate vicinity, especially in the first year of life. This is very important for the development of the child but is grossly underestimated nowadays.
The grandfather sensed what was good for the child and it's also better for his daughter.
The Bering Sea cares not of your family and will swallow you down, Captain Sig knows that.
There comes a time when the jewels cease to sparkle, when the gold loses its luster, when the throne room becomes a prison, and all that is left is a father's love for his child.
Crush your enemies! See them driven before you and hear the lamentations of their women!
I’m sure Mandy was very upset being kicked off the boat but I hope she understood that her father is doing this because he loves her and does not want to put her in unnecessary danger. The Bering Sea is one of the most dangerous stretches of water in the world
That and he doesn’t want his grandchild to grow up without a parent. Both Mandy and her husband work on the Northwestern.
That is a true captain.
This was 100% the right call!!! As hard as this was he will always be appreciated for this in the long run and his grand children will be able to thank him one day for that!! This is a lesson maybe all of us those of us who have children should learn, if we don't feel so.ethings right for the well being of the family no matter how hard the choice is sometimes the uncomfortable choice is the right one! I'd rather see my kid disappointed in the moment then lose her and regret it! Sig is an amazing example of how we should do protect our children and family even in tough moments!
I love seeing Mandy on the northwestern but sig has a point she know has a baby and having both parents plus a grandfather and an uncle all on the same boat ,if something where to happen and the boat sinks sailor literally will loose half of her family in one shot. They both made a difficult decision but it was for the best for now you know sig will definitely have Mandy back on sooner than expected
How did I get over 100 likes on this comment that’s so crazy thank you everyone
lose* tighten up
@@W4RY3NTRY wdym tighten up
Go with your gut Sig
Exactly @sector z..
Sig would never forgive himself if something were to happen.
With weather like that...
Its a crap shoot.
Zig is a responsible father, i can say it, based on his decision , he wanted to protect mandy and his grandchild if theres something bad will happen the baby will lose both parents and grand dad, nice move capt sig
Mandy will realize one day. “Dad was completely right.” She just doesn’t see it yet.
Sigs a grandpa now and I think he was just looking out for his grandchild and his own child. If anything happens to the boat that kid could loose it’s mom and dad
@@ryans413 sig realized if mandy didn't wake him up thinking its her job to have taken over ,the boat Would have rolled over her skil will never match her fathers
@@Slick1G3 to be fair not many captains can match sigs skill . At least when it comes to catching crabs
She seen it 3 minutes after she said maybe you have a point she knew immediately
Thats the benefit of being the daughter of the captain,he won't risk her/grandkids well being but she will be fine.....he won't let her and her family go hungry.Fortunate position to be in
Hard enough having a brother on board. Sig is Mandy's Dad and she's a new mother AND the father is on the boat!!!! Good move Sig. I'm a Dad and it's a no brainer. Not her fault. The ice is how the Destination went down which is in Sig's mind as well no doubt.
When i was on duty as a medical doctor during the COVID pandemic, my dad had the exact expression as Sig the moment he realized how dangerous the situation was. He freaked the hell out and nearly cursed the hospital to get me home immediately. I fought back bec it was literally my job to take care of the sick but watching this made me understand his worries better.
Tough old dads with goods hearts are blessings, i swear.
Nearly as bad and the black plague it was. Your idiot father knows that you have free will right? If you don't like the working conditions you can quit? I'd be horribly embarrassed if a family member did that to me.. especially if you're a freaking doctor? Guess I'm glad my parents didn't cradle me into my 30s like some people
What a great dad! I'd give anything to have a dad like that
Oh yeah I totally agree.
Man, my dad used to use me for alligator bait.
i love how Old School Sailor Sig is. Family. Fishing. Finances. my grandpa was same. We missed his presence on many important occasions but he gave us everything & brought us to USA.
Sig did the right thing as the Captain of the boat as a father , and more importantly as a grandfather she has a baby just months old that needs her at home especially when both parents are on the boat with sig no brainer .....
This show is just too goddamn good. Probably the best show on television.
I wouldn’t want to wake up to this job/emergency 😆 respect to anyone doing this stuff
sig sounds genuinely scared. i've never seen him act this way before.
Good DAD thats why i love watching you!!
This situation is just like the Sullivan brothers during world war 2. All of them were on the same ship and all lost at the same time. It was a hard decision for Sig but he is right. The risk out weighs the reward in this situation. That’s what a father does. Much respect for him cause I know it wasn’t easy.
As a parent your child will always be that little kid that you protect with out thinking about it, you will always love them as that little defenseless child no matter how old your child gets. Its just the way it is, nothing you can do to change that!
Wise decision on Sigs part. It's a whole family he is talking about. In my corporate career, the company would never have more than two of us on the same airplane. In the future, if the weather looks iffy, maybe Mandy should take a pass. It is so hard on Sig because he taught Mandy more than anyone he has ever coached and trusts her.
“Business continuity” or as it is here, “familial continuity”
@@qwerty112311 very true
When right is right!!! Proud of both of them!!!
Man this brought a tear to my eye he's enough bad stuff to know where and when to draw the line sig your the man and Mandy has a great dad indeed be safe sir and catch them crabbys
Thanks!
Kudos Sig. Best decision you ever made
When she said 7:04 “I was in the same position last year, it’s not that big of a difference!”
THAT really pissed me off because thats both incredibly naïve and selfish to say as a mother with a newborn at home but when she quickly realized how f-up that was to say and at 7:19 “It’s a huge difference actually” that was such a huge relief! at the moment i knew she’s gonna be a good mom. ❤️
"It's a huge difference, actually" Look at the way she worded it & why. Sig was giving her the death stre when she uttered it.
I have a lot of respect for Mandy. She doesn't *have* to do any of this. But she knows it's in her blood, and she is earning her legacy just like her dad and his dad before her. Being a woman and being a mom on top of that makes it twice as hard for her to be out there, and she's not giving up. Her grandfather would be very proud.
How does being a man and a father make fishing in those waters twice as EASY?
@@johnpauljones9310 because pound for pound, men generally are stronger physically. And men don't have to deal with the myriad of hormones women deal with pre and post pregnancy, many of which make you nauseous and cause cramps. Not to mention, I doubt any of the deckhands are lactacting, which can lead to discomfort ( to say the least) if you don't stick to a schedule...
She has done nothing but fuck up and jeopardize the safety of everyone, and routinely so. There is little to be proud of.
@@michelle_m4446 What utter nonsense. It's a fishing boat off Alaska and dangerous as hell. How many lactating women get thrown overboard and drown? Your misandry is shower, man-hater.

You are a good man sig, always enjoy watching you and your family fish take care of yourself and your family we love you.

No she was getting kicked off once she calmed down she realized it’s was best for her.
@@zacharyradford5552 it wasn't the best for her. It was the best for everyone on the team except her. Her father, her husband and her uncle were onboard. She was just another worry they would have.

Fatherly instincts take over should be second nature to most. Also thinking about his grand baby. That was a hard but great call
OUCH Sig is the man, Mandy actually ended up agreeing. Cool family....I really love how they talk things out and she respects her dad and he respects her.....
I hope nobody is ever lost, especially those we’ve gotten to know over the years on Deadliest catch!!!
Gut wrenching to lose anyone!!!
I'm not a fisherman..but he's right ..no reason to have the entire family on board at the same time in bad weather
@@NoBody11010 you also can’t live when your dead, and a child with dead parents is often ungood.
I got mad “sole survivor policy” vibes. The Sullivans, etc. SPR. Mandy snapped out of it after a few minutes. Everything changes when you have children, everything. At least, if you have a soul, it ought to.
I know that wasnt easy Sig......for either of you. Much respect to you all and btw........you made the right call!
She’s lucky to have a Dad who really cares
Would you say same if she was a male? If not...misogyny. It is her job/career, which Sig just hurt. She is gonna face this sooner or later. Sig was a coward.
Coward for caring about his family? You couldn’t even type that bullshit without editing it. I feel sorry whatever family you have if any.
@@arthurunknown8972 SHE could have gotten everyone killed, left their daughter parentless by waiting an HOUR to wake him. She is not as ready to fully Captain as she thinks she is. WHY did she wait AN HOUR. That was sheer irresponsibility on her part. Sig knows it and SHE knows it. Sig made the right call, He as well as she knows how unforgiving the seas are, the people they've known over the years that were killed due to that very situation happening. A crew is only as strong as their weakest link and she is indeed a weak link.She has made NUMEROUS mistakes before. Jake's niece runs circles around Mandy, She's proven she can handle the hard shit. So misogyny aint got shit to do with it.
No shit.
& a baby girl.
@winniethepoohandeeyore2 first, her license is higher than his. Second, she didn't put anyone in danger. Third, to get better, she needs sea days, not land days. Fourth, he did not send her home for performances issues. He sent her home because she was female. If male, he wouldn't have done so, which is the definition of sexual discrimination.
Everyone at sea faces the possibility of death. That's the career she picked & why they make big money. Btw, the boat didn't sink, so she was relieved for nothing but Sig's cowardice.
Sig, Excellent representation of exactly how dangerous those icing conditions are.
Best eye opening honest example of how dangerous the job can be. Totally respect Mandy for hopping off this trip.
Saw those conditions with Bob Miller on F/V Cascade.
Great decision by Sig and Mandy. Safety always comes first! This was too dangerous with both parents on board. 💯👍❤️
When a captain with so much Knowledge speak out stuff, you gonna listen ❤️ He is a great man and captain !
Not an easy decision but as a Dad I get where he he is coming from. having been in a horrible storm with my Dad and brother many years ago and being lucky to make it back it's probably the best call even though it was tough to do.
And that is why Sig is the KING.
Hey been watching you guys and girls for long time Mandy great to see take your dads advice thats awesome family first thats awesome!! The NORTHWESTERN IS AWESOME BOAT AWESOME CREW. KEEP UP THE GREAT FISHING !!!
She should have never went out in the first place.I question nobody considered this before?
This is one of the down sides of being a captain: making hard decisions. This one is especially hard since it's his daughter. Cudo's for making the right decision, Sig!
I love sid and Mandy always been my favs and the dad that passed away love love them
She clearly isn’t cut out for if she can’t hear the stress in her fathers voice. I can hear the panic through time and space… she was right there!!!
She honestly isn't. Took her watching the ice build up FOR. AN. HOUR. then she panics, goes and wakes Dad
We gotta do somethiin, we gotta do it now, says sig while sitting down drinking a coffee lmao 🤣 😂 😅 😆 😭 🙃
I am not sure why she would leave a baby like that. Surely family could take care of her with the shortfall. Baby first!! Glad she came around. Sig has always been a solid guy.
Trying to be a strong and independent woman 🙄 instead of a good mother
Sig has been my favorite captain on the show since I was a little kid watching this show on a 12inch CRT TV in the kitchen. Its stuff like this that always made me root for him and hope that he would not have any issues and that made the biggest catches/most money.
Listen to him kid, when his gut instinct is screaming then it's time to go home
Sig was legit having a panic attack, don't blame him. His buddies boat Destination went out from ice.
can't run a boat without a captian. staying alive is all that matters. sig is a true captain, where he puts crew about profits
I'm literally addicted to this show, I literally bingewatch on RUclips TV.
Sig is looking out for the ones closest to his heart so he can fish knowing they are ok.
Sig stopped being a captain and became DAD and GRANDDAD.
Sig's not angry at Mandy, he's just scared for her, and that's understandable.
Any man regardless of if there a dad will always worry about there loved ones before themselves
