Deadliest catch capt. Phil Harris has stroke

[TheOLDNewChick]

That's so sad! I LOVE that show!

Prayers for him and his family.

As I recall he had medical problems at sea last year and had to go ashore for heart tests...

How sad, he's one of my favorites on the show.

I hope it wasn't severe and he pulls through without lasting effects.

I have been lucky enough to meet quite a few of the guys from the show and they are all very nice guys. Cpt Phil is my favorite as he remindes me of my dad so much. I hope he is back up and running in no time.

I was so sad to read this. He's the one that had a blood clot previously, if I remember right. Made him high risk, I know. Prayers coming for Phil and his family.

Best wishes and speedy recovery!

We watch this show too and are sending prayers out to Capt. Phil and his family. Strokes are scary business, our youngest daughter had one 2 1/2 years ago at the age of 3 and we almost lost her. Fortunately she has made an amazing recovery, I hope Phil does too!

Prayers for the capt. and his family and crew. Stay safe and well.

Sorry to hear that. My family loves that show and we always look forward to the next season.

Hope he gets better.

Update ~~


Phil Harris underwent a 12-hour surgery after suffering a stroke on Friday. The master of the F/V Cornelia Marie was reportedly put in a medically induced coma after the operation.


A source told TMZ that doctors put him in a coma to reduce brain swelling after the surgery. Harris was off-loading his boat when he suffered a stroke. He was rushed to an Anchorage hospital.

His sons Jake and Josh, who are also his deckhands, are with their father in the hospital while the F/V Cornelia Marie is back out at sea.
