“I lost a trusted friend, and an outstanding employee, and a brother in life… We’re gonna say goodbye to Nick McGlashan but he’ll always be with us. Love you Nick.” - Captain Bill Wichrowski

Nick passed away at 33 years old. He was a 7th generation fisherman who was raised on the island of Akutan, Alaska.

Nick was named after his great uncle Nick McGlashan, who worked on the first boat rumored to have pioneered the U.S. crab industry, the F/V Deep Sea, built in 1947.

Coming from a family of fishermen, Nick started crabbing on the Bering Sea at age 13 on the F/V Westling, the first boat of Nick’s father Bruce, who is a longtime friend of Wild Bill's.

McGlashan worked as a deck boss on Discovery's hit series Deadliest Catch and had appeared on the show since 2013.

He will be missed dearly by friends, family and fans. Gone but never forgotten.
