It’s six weeks into the fishing season on Deadliest Catch , and a controversial figure has made a dramatic return to the show as the pressure is on to deliver. During the September 26 episode, Sig Hansen wasn’t having too much luck in the midst of a very competitive bairdi crab season. The Northwestern was among 33 boats chasing 700,000 pounds of quota. Sig noticed pots in the area belonged to Keith Colburn . Conflicted on his next move, he called on son-in-law Clark Pederson for input.
