From Discovery.com:
Deckboss and younger brother of Capt. Sig hansen, Edgar is a hard-working and conscientious taskmaster who expects his crew to act likewise. Edgar began fishing at age 18 and came into his own on the deck of the Northwesternafter only a few seasons. When he first joined the boat, he took over the position of cook from Sig. To this day, Sig considers his brother to be one of the most talented fishermen on deck. Not only does he keep the crew well fed under the most trying conditions, he’s even been known to whip up a gourmet meal in short order. Over the past few years, he has also assumed the role of the boat’s chief engineer, which means he’s responsible for both the main and auxiliary engines, the hydraulic and fuel systems, as well as the sea water pumps.
