Fox News
"Deadliest Catch" Season 17 was met with big challenges on land and sea and grave uncertainty surrounding the coronavirus, which kept boats of the Bering Sea fleet tied up in Seattle, Wa. However, Captain Hansen had an additional concern: Johnathan Hillstrand had retired.
"You're talking about John Hillstrand now. I'll tell you what, trying to convince a guy like that is pretty tough because he's got a one-track mind," Hansen, who helms the "F/V Northwestern," told Fox News of the uphill battle he faced reeling his good friend back to the biz. Sig said it’s "tunnel vision" for Hillstrand as he was adamant about never returning to the fishery.More Related News
