Debunking Rumors: The Truth Behind Jake Anderson’s Health and F/V Saga
Recent rumors circulating on social media claiming that Jake Anderson of “Deadliest Catch” was in a coma are false. The reports caused significant concern among fans, but they appear to be a case of mistaken identity and misremembered tragedies from the show’s history.
The article clarifies that while Jake Anderson has not suffered a life-threatening health issue, he did face a major professional setback in 2024. His boat, the F/V Saga, was repossessed due to financial issues, forcing him to return to a deckhand role aboard Captain Sig Hansen’s vessel, the F/V Northwestern.
The confusion about a coma likely stems from other cast members. Jake Harris, another skipper on the show, suffered a severe beating and head trauma in 2019, while Captain Phil Harris, the father of Jake and Josh Harris, did fall into a coma after a massive stroke in 2010, which ultimately led to his passing.
Despite the loss of his boat, Jake Anderson is reportedly in good health and remains a central figure on the show. His return to the Northwestern marks a new chapter for the resilient captain, who fans hope will eventually rebuild his career and find a new vessel.
