Yup caught it last night. Already a few surprises including a skipper who gets pulled from the water.

What a great show.

Cap'n Phil is my favorite. Get well soon

These boats are just becoming bigger and bigger money pits. It would really suck to blow 100k on repairs while the rest of the fleet is out there fishing.

Wow, that was a scary one. Can't believe the guys got hurt like that. I thought that was such a stupid idea on the last episode! Thank goodness they all stayed on the boat!

Sad news

FOXNews.com - Discovery Channel: 'Deadliest Catch' Captain Dies

I read about this a few days, and was hoping he was OK.

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.
"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," sons Josh and Jake Harris said in a statement released by the network. "For us and the crew, he was someone who never backed down."
In a statement, Discovery Channel senior vice president Elizabeth Hillman says, "Phil was a devoted father and loyal friend to all who knew him."
"We will miss his straightforward honesty, wicked sense of humor and enormous heart," she said.
