😢 At 64, Edgar Hansen From Deadliest Catch Confirms What We Feared All Along ⚓💔
Longtime Deadliest Catch viewers were hit with an emotional wave this week after Edgar Hansen, the once-beloved deck boss of the F/V Northwestern, broke his silence and confirmed what many fans had long feared.
In a rare and somber statement, the 64-year-old fisherman finally addressed his complete departure from the show and the end of his commercial fishing career, revealing that his time at sea has truly come to an end.
“The ocean has given me everything — my life, my lessons, my scars,” Edgar said quietly. “But there comes a time when you have to know when to step away.” 🌊
Edgar’s absence from the later seasons of Deadliest Catch had sparked countless rumors. Some speculated he was still working behind the scenes on the Northwestern; others hoped he might return for one final run alongside his brother, Captain Sig Hansen. But Edgar confirmed that his health, age, and the toll of decades spent battling the Bering Sea have all caught up to him.
While he didn’t go into detail, sources close to the Hansen family suggest that Edgar’s physical condition and the emotional strain of years on the roughest waters on earth pushed him to finally retire for good.
Fans flooded social media with heartfelt messages of support and gratitude:
“Edgar was always my favorite — tough as nails but with a big heart,” one wrote.
“It’s the end of an era,” another added. “No one worked a deck like Edgar.” 💬
Although his days on Deadliest Catch are now behind him, Edgar says he’s finding peace in a quieter life — spending time with family, mentoring young fishermen, and reflecting on a lifetime of storms survived.
“You don’t really leave the sea,” he said. “You just learn to live with it in your heart.” 🌅
🙏 Fans around the world are thanking Edgar Hansen for his years of grit, laughter, and leadership — a true legend of the Bering Sea whose legacy will never be forgotten. 💙
