March 8, 2010
Updated: Sig’s package went for a final bid of $8,100!
Captain Sig needs your help as he helps his friend Guy Fieri raise money for Lisa. He’s so serious that he was making phone calls as early as 5am and while boarding the plane to make sure this gets out with all the information that you need to know. You can read all about Lisa and her story here. Guy has already gone big and customized a 2008 Harley Davidson FXCW Softtail Rocker with of course help from the crew at Michael’s Harley-Davidson. Read here all about the “Kulinary Gansta” bike that YES! You can win. No joke. Guy ain’t messing around here folks. Let’s show them the power of the Northwestern Network and even if you can’t make it, bid or donate. At least pass the link along to others that is all Sig asks.
Captain Sig Hansen Package
The winning bidder and a guest will be hosted by Captain Sig Hansen and the crew of the F/V Northwestern, of the Discovery Channel’s Series, The Deadliest Catch, to a full day at the 2nd Annual Deadliest Catch Convention(CatchCon). Last year’s CatchCon was a sell out. Captain Sig and the Crew will spend time with you as the day progresses based on their commitments to Discovery Channel and CatchCon. You will be introduced to the Captains and Crew of the other vessels featured on the Show. Other surprises at the CatchCon will be given to the two of you.
Time allowing, Captain Sig will take you from CatchCon down to the Ballard waterfront where he will give you a tour of the F/V Northwestern, show you the inner workings of the pilot house and how crab pots are launched and retrieved. There even maybe a ride around the working waterfront to see the Crab Fleet that is home based in Seattle.
The winning bidder will go home tonight with autographed F/V Northwestern souvenirs including two Original Crew jackets as seen on the Show, Northwestern hats and an Autographed picture of the Vessel signed by Captain Sig and the Crew.
This is a once in a lifetime experience so bid often and bid high.

“Phil Harris suffered a stroke while in port off-loading from the F/V Cornelia Marie. He has been transported to a medical facility and is receiving the best care possible. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and we will make more information available as we know it.”
From Morgan @ Corneliamarie.com Jan 30, 2010
Captain Phil Harris suffered a stroke yesterday at St. Paul Island in Alaska. He was medivacked to Anchorage and is currently at a hospital receiving treatment.
I didn’t say anything earlier, so family can learn from us instead of through the internet. I know anybody who is reading this also cares about Phil, so we thought you should know as well.
Phil is at a good hospital and receiving the best care possible. My mother, Cornelia Marie Devlin and Jake Harris are with him at the hospital. Josh is staying on the boat to help the new relief skipper who is flying out there today. The boat is in the harbor now, but needs to be able to leave in case the ice shifts and moves in.
Our engineer Steve found Capt. Phil on the floor of his stateroom Friday. He was immediately taken to the clinic in St. Paul – the same place he was treated when he had a blood clot two years ago.
As soon as we receive more information about Phil, we will pass it on to you.

About Captain Sig Hansen of the F/V Northwestern
Captain Sig Hansen began fishing at age 14, was a full-time Bering Sea fisherman by age 18, a relief captain at age 22 and running the Northwestern at age 24 – which he has continued to do for 20 years. Sig has been featured in all seasons of the documentary television series Deadliest Catch, where he also serves as technical advisor for the production.
The Northwestern has been, and continues to be, a top producer with an exceptional safety record: the Northwestern has never had a single death at sea in the nearly 20 years Sig has been at its helm and its serious injury rate is significantly lower than other boats in the Bering Sea fleet. The Northwestern won the final derby seasons for both the king crab and opilio crab in 2005 and 2006 respectively, taking home the titles for both the highest poundage caught and the highest dollars earned between the featured boats in the Deadliest Catch.

Save Bristol Bay
November 23, 2009
Pebble Mine advocates call for boycott of Seattle restaurants serving wild salmon from Bristol Bay, Alaska. As food blogger Ronald Holden put it, “Are they crazy?”
Here’s the dish: a media firestorm erupted this week because thirteen of Seattle’s finest seafood restaurants stepped up in support of protecting Bristol Bay’s salmon fishery (where I got my own start as a salmon fisherman) from the proposed Pebble Mine by serving and featuring Bristol Bay salmon on their menus.
In response to the positive press coverage of this Bristol Bay salmon promotion (part of Trout Unlimited’s Savor Bristol Bay campaign), there was a backlash from the Pebble folks, namely from the Truth About Pebble’s Board Member, Gail Phillips, who called for a boycott of these restaurants and from the Pebble Partnership’s CEO, John Shively, who denounced the chefs as a bunch of yuppie foodies from the big city who don’t know anything about how hard it is to live in rural Alaska. Little did Gail and John realize that they would feed the fire and help get the story in the New York Times, the LA Times, the Seattle Times, Seattle PI, the Washington Post, the Anchorage Daily News, and over 200 other media outlets. Here is today story in the Seattle PI: Save the salmon by eating salmon
I know where I’ll be eating dinner tonight, one of the thirteen Seattle restaurants serving wild salmon from Bristol Bay, Alaska. Those restaurants include: Art of the Table, Chiso, Emmer & Rye, Flying Fish, Persimmon, Ponti Seafood Grill, Rover’s Restaurant, Steelhead Diner, Tilth Restaurant, Tilikum Place Cafe, The Pike Brewing Co., Palace Kitchen and Etta’s Seafood.
Join me in supporting Alaska’s commercial fishermen and Seattle’s chefs and restaurants by voting with your fork and Savoring Bristol Bay!
