Every so often we receive emails from people that really go out of their way for us. Judge Bob Moon is one of those people, not only did he write a poem for Northwestern he also laminated it and sent copies to us here at Northwestern Brothers Marketing. Now of course one hangs in wheelhouse of Northwestern.

Judge Bob Moon, is a General Sessions Court Judge in Chattanooga, Tennessee. He is also an avid fan of Captain Sig Hansen and the crew of the Northwestern. Judge Moon has a long history of off shore fishing primarily in the Gulf of Mexico and has weathered high seas and gale force winds personally. Understanding the dangers of off shore fishing, especially in the Bering Sea, he was inspired to write the poem, “Prayer of the Northwestern,” for Captain Sig and crew. Judge Moon said, “I suppose that if there is magic on earth, it is in the sea. The per centage of salt content in most seas is the same percentage as the salt content in a man’s body. There has been a long and historical connection between men and the sea. I suppose there always will be.”

The Judge concluded, “I wrote the poem primarily for the “Northwestern,” but the first verse is for all captains and crews who make their living on the seas and oceans throughout the world. I very much appreciate what these brave men do, and I am very honored to be on board with them in the spirit of the prayer.”

ANCHORAGE, Alaska — His show is called “Deadliest Catch” and there were hundreds of fans trying to catch some time with Captain Sig on Saturday.

Sig Hansen signed t-shirts, books and even faces at the 5th Avenue Mall. He made an appearance at the Alaska Walking Store.

Some people waited a couple of hours to see him.

“We just flew in for the day and I don’t know how many people showed up but there must have been 300 or 400 people at least and it just never surprises me,” Hansen said. “It’s amazing when you meet people from Florida and all over the country.”

Hansen said the show started out as a documentary on the Discovery Channel, and he’s surprised how its popularity exploded.

Fresh from the Inbox on a Saturday no-less. I guess even artists work around the clock. Enjoy.

 This is a drawing I made in honor of the best Fishing Vessel in the whole Bering Sea! None other than the Northwestern. I hope you guys really like it. I used a picture I found on the internet so credits to whoever owns the real picture. I was first inspired by watching the Memorial Day special, after drawing a picture of crab fishing off the top of my head, I got the idea to draw an even better one. I soon found your website and realized that I could send the picture to you. That’s what kept me going on this drawing.

Since I am getting a chance to write, I want to say a quick word to Sig and Edgar.

Sig: You really rock the boat. You seem like a really down to earth guy and haven’t let all the cameras and fame get to your head. I admire that about you. It seems whenever I watch the show I get a laugh from you. Hope you are doing well and good luck with the fishing!

Edgar: You are also awesome! You are also really down to earth like Sig. Just a while ago I was watching a YouTube video of Sig putting the boat in reverse and you did an awesome double take and threw a crab at the wheel house! That made me bust out laughing. Stay awesome and have a good season.

Thanks,
Jennifer S.

We received some new this art this morning all the way from a creative 7 year old in Spain with the original email, “mi hija tiene 7 años es una fan incondicional de sig y no se pierde un capitulo desde españa un saludo”. Now Sig doesn’t speak and read spanish—at least from what he remembers. He still can’t believe so many kids watch deadliest catch and how many of them like to draw the Northwestern. Be on the lookout for more drawings and photos as we open the vault here soon..

This is pretty interesting to see the evolution of the CatchCon Design.

Legos always seem to come to us every year and block by block we’re continually amazed by what people can build with them. This comes to us from Levi G. one of our younger fans who has been building for years.

We received this today from our friend and fan William. Here’s what he has to say about his artwork.

Having spent a year in the Aleutians courtesy of Uncle Sam, ( Adak to be exact), I was naturally drawn to the Deadliest Catch show. The images of the Northwestern plowing through the Bearing Sea, caught my sculptors eye. My ship may not be exactly like yours, but it is my impression of what she looks like to me.
