For those who watch the Discovery Channel show we have sad news today!! Phil Harris Dead @ 53!

God grant that I may live to fish,
until my dying day,
And when it comes to my last cast,
I then most humbly pray,
When in the Lord's safe landing net,
I'm peacefully asleep,
That in his mercy I be judged,
As big enough to keep.

I just learned of this today as well. It is very saddening. Phil will be sorely missed by his family, crew and fans.

RIP Captain Phil Harris. God Speed, Brother. May you forever pull 700's as you embark on a new crabbing career with your long-lost comrads.





Here is Phil with his two sons, who also work on the boat.


Here's a short video of Captain Phil returning to his boat after he had a pulmonary embolism. You can see the love and comradery between him and his crew.
