I usually watch the show but this is one I have no interest in.
Some months back one of the camera crew was arrested for distributing drugs and I can’t help but wonder if the addiction of Jake Harris wasn’t the result and in a round about way the stress of his son telling him didn’t contribute to Phil’s death.
Jake Anderson on the Northwestern is impressive in dealing with the things he’s gone through.

You could almost tell Phil knew the end was near when he was asking for his ‘lucky charm’. RIP Capt. Phil.

After having watched this show, I can never eat King Crab the same way again.

The discovery channel handled it very well, very respectful. Nothing to complain about. Semed like a good guy.

Slotting the show against the All Star Game was not a good idea.

I thank everyone who works hard to keep the program “real” and the men on the boats, including the camera crews and techs are as “real” as you can get.
Capt. Harris, we already miss you.

Captain Phil. A man among men. Obama could learn a lot from him.

You're probably on to something. Jake was getting his drugs from somewhere, and I have no doubt that his revelation that he was an addict is what pushed Phil over the edge.

If Captain Phil had known that he was going to live so long, he would have taken better care of himself. Fair winds, a following sea, and never a lee shore.

It sure didn't help matters much. I did find it interesting that Phil pulled out the old photos and was looking at them with both sons shortly before the stroke.

I believe the allure of the show comes from the fact that these are real men doing really dangerous but exciting work.
Most people sit at desks all day with their only risk being that of a potential computer virus.
We have lost our sense of adventure and now live through others.
The Deadliest Catch is the modern day Jack London novel delivered via television instead of a book.
