McGlashan’s sister also tweeted out the news, according to People magazine.

McGlashan was a 7th generation fisherman, according to his biography on Discovery. He began crabbing at the age of 13.
“Nick is known for his witty quips, working through the pain, and not stopping the job until it’s done,” his biography said. “He has also kept the boat running through all kinds of mechanical issues, manufacturing quick fixes on the fly. “Nick has a wealth of fishing experience and, according to Captain Bill, is the epitome of a true crabber.”
