"The Deadliest Catch" is one of the better shows on television. Although I avoid crab because of the cholesterol, that show gave me a better appreciation of what goes on to get food on the table. Capt. Phil Harris as died.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Phil Harris, the fishing boat captain whose adventures off the Alaska coast were captured on the television show "Deadliest Catch", has died, the Discovery Channel said Tuesday night. He was 53.
Harris suffered what his family described as a massive stroke on Jan. 29 while the fishing vessel he captained, Cornelia Marie, was in port at St. Paul Island, Alaska. The fisherman was flown to Anchorage for surgery.
The reality show, which has filmed five seasons, has been one of the Discovery Channel's most popular and depicts the crab fishing industry in the dangerous waters off Alaska.
I thought he would be forced to retire because of bad health.
R.I.P.
