I went to the Agua Caliente in Palm Desert this weekend to see A Night with Sig & the Hillstrand Brothers. It was a LOT of fun and I learned a lot from the guys about the show, the other captains & other good stuff. I took some pics to share. Alas, I should note my hubby didn't realize that trying to cheer/clap while taking pictures is NOT a good idea so some of the pics are blurry.
Some things they talked about that were both interesting and informative.
1. Apparently, Cornelia Marie Devlin owns 80% of the boat and wants to get out of the fishing business altogether. Jake & Josh Harris don't have the money to buy the boat so if they're forced to sell their share, John & Andy Hillstrand are taking on Josh Harris as a deckhand and Sig is taking on Jake Harris as a deckhand for the next crab season.
2. The Hansens and the Hillstrands absolutely HATE Captain Keith of the Wizard. According to them, he's an absolute prick and not above backstabbing and betraying those who once considered him a friend (including Captain Phil Harris). Johnathan Hillstrand said their issues started a long time ago when he was doing something with a motorcycle that wasn't legal (can't remember what he was doing) and Keith called the cops and turned John in. Also, Sig hosted a party recently for them all and Keith made an ass of himself and started a fight with Sig and his guests before they kicked him out. They didn't really want to talk too much about him but made it clear they absolutely HATE his guts and want nothing to do with him outside of the show.
3. Johnathan Hillstrand is a manwhore according to the other guys. Lol! The stories they told about him were hilarious.
4. Sig is NOT retiring anytime soon and has no plans to let Edgar or Jake Anderson take over the boat. He actually is the dirtiest & most foul-mouthed of the captains which was surprising but he was also the funniest. Loved him! We saw his wife & 2 daughters who were at the show as well. Very nice ladies.
