Farewell to Phil Harris is on tonight

[Yeagermeister]

It's not going to be the same without him and if Edgar leaves the fishing life I don't know if I'll watch it next season.

It's definitely not going to be the same without Phil.

I agree. I'll more than likely watch it. Who'll run the boat if Edgar leaves? Should be interesting.


For some strange reason the Kodiak and its crew, or lack there of, is starting to grow on me a little. I liked it when they fired Rudy. Reminds me of a Dumb & dumber line "Man. You're one pathetic loser." :laugh2:

They say Edgar is training the greenest guy to run the hydros, but I'd think that would be Jake, right?

On After the Catch they said Jake was taking some coursework to be a captain, so I'd imagine he's the natural to do it.

I can't see Edgar leaving completely, but maybe just doing every other season, king crab on and opies off or something like that.

Gonna be really hard tonight seeing Phil's death unfold. It's hard to even envision how the show will be without him.

I like Bill on the Kodiak, too. He is another take no bs kind of guy.

Rest in peace Capt. Phil Harris.

That's all i got.

RIP Capitan Phil Harris.

Good to see the boys are at least down to e-cigarettes.

The show is going to be strange without Phil. And I will really miss Edgar if he leaves, he has always been one of my favorites.

I have always like Wild Bill when they had him on, the one that I am surprised that is growing on me is Kieth. I never cared for him but I think his daughter trying to get him of the chew softened him up for me.

I've been interested in watching them since they had the Top 10 Deadliest Jobs on Discovery that introduced the world to the dangers of Alaskan Crab Fishing. It's one of the very few shows that I take the time to remember to watch.

Real hard to watch tonight's episode, especially after Jonathan Hillstrand has been on the promo commercials the last week.

I think they did such a nice job on the episode. It was so sad when Jake was leaving, then Josh leaving and the shot of him looking out the window, knowing the end was near.

I loved the After the Catch, too. Those clips of him and all the stories, it was laughter and tears.

And those bird feeders! Wow! haha

The last scene with Phil and Josh together was rough.

After the Catch was great as usual. I could have done without seeing the captains trying to dance though. :laugh2:

 

[CowboyWay]

Any word on who is going to step up to take Phils spot as captain? jake? Josh? A third party?

Should be very interesting.

Phil was my favorite captain by far. Tough to see him go.

 

[TellerMorrow34]

I haven't seen the episode yet, cause I work on Tuesday nights, but the show will never be the same, or nearly as good, without Phil on it. He was by far my favorite part of the whole show.

That one and the memorial service thing they have on there for him are both pretty good.

The way Josh talked on After the Catch it seemed like he was but I doubt that. He doesn't have the experience to pull that off. I would think the guy that filled in this season or the other guy that took over when he had problems before would take over.

Most likely a third party. It hasn't been said that either of the sons have the requisite Coast Guard licenses to be the Captain of the Cornelia Marie.

Josh mentioned in an interview on The Tonight Show that they may have to skip one of the seasons next year. There are some kind of issues coming up, and they're trying to get a loan to secure a full ownership in their ship. I think he mentioned it was a few million they needed at least.

They are auctioning off a bunch of their Dad's old possessions to donate to either a Children's Cancer Research and Treatment Hospital or just children's cancer research in general. Well, they're splitting the proceeds between that and a charity to support the families of fisherman lost at sea.

They showed Phil and his birdhouses two seasons ago when they did a segment on After The Catch showing the hobbies of the Captains in the off season. Andy Hillstrand runs a dude ranch for kids as a summer camp I think.

They showed a series of Phil's houses, and the other Captains first kind of gave him some crap about it despite they had known he does it for years on end.

Now that you mention it Josh did mention they were going to overhaul the boat before going fishing again.

Yep. Josh said on TS that Phil was smoking 9 1/2 packs a day at one point, before the blood clot issue.

It's a wonder he didn't have a heart attack instead of a stroke
