Harris was 53. Sons Jake and Josh Harris posted this statement to their father's Web site: "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." Harris was featured in a "Nightline" profile that took you inside the dangerous world of Alaskan King Crab fishing in May 2008.

Bob Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 I used to watch that show, but it got to be the same old thing after a while. As mentioned above, Phil Harris didn't take very good care of himself. Nonetheless, I'm sorry to hear this. I enjoyed him on the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New York Mick Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 He was one tough SOB and as already stated I'm surprised he lived as long as he did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIP Captian. Phil. Amazingly, I dont believe it was a broken rib but I think they reported it was a blood clot passing through his lung. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haggis Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 I only got to see him on the show, but it looked like he did everything to the max: smoking, drinking and working. Early age, but a full life. RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Crusher Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Amazingly, I dont believe it was a broken rib but I think they reported it was a blood clot passing through his lung. I remember him falling in his bunk and I thought he broke a rib as well. Nonetheless he will be missed and RIP. Salty Dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
