Its a sad day... I have been a WDC addict since the first season... I have always looked forward to the Harris clan... Atleast he was able to do what he loved right up till the end.. I feel bad for his boys...although it seemed as if they loved to get under Phil's skin, but you could tell they had the up most respect and love for their father....

My prayers are out for the friends and family... RIP Capt. Harris!

From the TMZ HSOforum

Captain Phil Harris -- star of Discovery Channel's "Deadliest Catch" -- died about an hour ago ... sources tell TMZ.

Harris was hospitalized a few weeks ago after sufferring a stroke

while unloading crabs. He had been doing better until the sudden turn.

Captain Harris died in a hospital in Alaska. He was 53.

Harris' kids, Jake and Josh, tell TMZ, "It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to our dad, Captain Phil Harris. Dad has always been a fighter and continued to be until the end. For us and the crew, he was someone who never backed down. We will remember and celebrate that strength. Thanks to everyone for their thoughts and prayers."

Sad news. frown

I bet those that watched the show, including myself made a connection with Phil. He was a character, that’s for sure.

At the same time though, it goes to show you that leading a lifestyle such as his, in not healthy. A little moderation goes a long way.

I heard that this morning as well.

I wonder how the business will go with the "boys" in control. I don't think either one has the leadership/"dad" skills that there father had.

I believe that he has a partner in the boat... I'm sure the boys will stay on the boat, I'm sure that's what Phil would want.

Rest in peace Phil, godspeed.

that is really horrible news to hear... i am a big fan of the deadliest catch show and have watched all of the seasons.. anyone who watched it before knew that phil was eventually going to run into health problems given the lifestyle he lived... just the fact that he would stay up for 30 hrs at a time is very unhealthy... throw in the fact that he was constantly inhaling cigs and drinking coffee and redbull, and you have a deadly equation.

it was great to watch him and his sons work together on their boat... the boys did like to get under his skin from time to time, but you could definitely tell that the boys had a huge respect for their father... i would bet my life savings that they will continue to fish, and i dont think the death of their father is going to persuade them to make career changing decisions.. for some of these guys, fishing/crabbing is the only life they know

RIP Phil

      Problems with Yetti

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
