I just started Deadliest catch about 2 weeks ago, started off seeing Bloodline. Then I was just curious to watch the entire older seasons of Deadliest Catch. Phil was such an amazing captain and the way he cared for his boys was just so heartfelt. If Josh ever goes through these, you are doing so great and I can definitely see your old man saying Attaboy. You are continuing his legacy the right way. RIP to your father for eternity. He was a great captain and a good father as he could be to you and your brother.

I enjoyed watching Phil on the Cornelia Marie with his 2 sons. Can't believe that it's been 10 years since his death. Still watch Josh on the Cornelia & kept up with him on the Northwestern. Loved the way Phil would laugh and I miss him terribly. Am looking for seasons where he was alive to be shown.

As I sit here in Longview Texas, I am watching the show The Russians are Coming. The tribute you did on your dad was awesome! I have always watched every year since back when your dad was on. Josh your dad would be so proud of you. You have accomplished what he wanted you to accomplish. You have made him proud and just know that he is in that boat every single time you go out. God Bless and keep the memory alive!

I just finished re watching old seasons of Deadliest Catch & Made it up to Season 6 where Captain Phil Harris passed away.So many tears I cried I miss him very much.It seems like only yesterday he was walking this Earth & doing what he
loved best.Crab fishing with his sons & his friends.So hard to accept that is has been almost 10 years now since Phil Harris was taken away from us.I am so very proud of his son Josh he is so much like his father & such a good man,Phil must be smiling from Heaven seeing what an amazing & wonderful son he has in Josh.I do not eat seafood I never really liked it as a child growing up & still don't like it I never eat it BUT when I am shopping now especially after seeing Deadliest Catch I find my self thinking how many men almost died to bring these crabs for people to eat.How many men went days with out sleep & time spent away from their own family & friends to bring these crabs for other people to enjoy them.I watch the shoppers carelessly throw the crabs in to their carts & carry on shopping & think do you even realize or care about the people who made that possible for you to just do that.My friend got me to watch the Deadliest Catch seasons & at first I was not really interested & then I started watching the men as they worked & watched their pains & sorrows joys & losses & I really love the seasons now.Each show they bare their souls & their lives with many people around the world & they have become a family I never knew.Each show that starts I find myself praying to God to keep them safe & bring them back to their family & friends safe.To watch over them & protect them on & off the boats.Thankyou so very much for such a wonderful show & for all the wonderful men I have been blessed to be able to know & care for & pray for each season.My heart will always ache over the loss of Captain Phil Harris I doubt that will ever change but there is always a hope there we will see him again one day & all those we loved & lost.I do not believe people die.What I do believe is we never lose the ones we love just the beautiful containers that once held them.God bless all of you & keep you safe.

Just read the book by Capt. Phil written by his sons, Josh and Jake. Knew Capt. Phil was tough and reading the words about his life just brought home how much he is missed. Looked through his photo gallery and saw mainly pics of fans, so I thought I would add a few of the man himself. As a fan, still watching the show, I know his fans would appreciate seeing pictures of Capt. Phil.

Phil, I met you in downtown Fort Wayne Indiana at a charity event. You are indeed a man's man. We talked long enough just to smoke three cigarettes outside in the alley one after another. I remember every word we said like it was yesterday. Those are memories that I'll cherish. Miss you and if there are cigarettes in heaven this time will use your lighter. I just wish we could've spent more time talking. Rest in peace my friend.

I just finished watching Phil's final season on Deadliest Catch again and it was just as hard this time as it was 4 years ago. Phil was the kind of guy you knew you'd want as a friend. I like people that aren't afraid to speak their mind, whether it was good or bad, at least it was honest. Phil always said he played hard, but I think he fished just as hard and loved ever harder. Phil, you're still my favorite captain, the Cornelia Marie is still my favorite boat and we'll always keep Josh and Jake in our prayers. The Howard Family
