    Olá Phil
    É um prazer poder estar escrevendo para você. Assisto o programa Pesca Mortal todos os dias e sou apaixonado pelo trabalho de vocês.
    Moro no Brasil e o clima aqui é bem diferente do que assistimos em Dutch Harbor.
    Gostaria de parabenizá-lo pois é um dos melhores profissionais desse ramo. Torço para que seus filhos tenham a mesma competência profissional que você.
    Desejo sucesso a você e toda a sua equipe. Deus os proteja.
    Abraços.

    My family has been watching Deadliest Catch from the beginning and my kids keep asking if there’s any news about your health. We’re all so glad to see that you’re feeling better. If you ever do a public appearance or promotion in Spokane we’ll be sure to get there. We would love to see you on the show again but I hope you take care of yourself first. Good luck to you and your boys.

    Hi Captain Phil!

    From one Washingtonian to another, I want to add my voice in with all the others to say I hope your health gets better every day, til we can see you behind the wheel of the Cornelia Marie!

    My grandfather, Don McCune - had a long running show in the Pacific Northwest called Captain Puget, and then Exploration Northwest. Watching you and your crew, I can’t help but think he would have really enjoyed knowing you guys. You are Puget Sound men, through and through.

    All the best to you and the guys. And like grandpa always said… “Smooth Sailing…. and Bye for now!”

    Hey Captain Phil, ‘Boys’ & Crew!
    this year I would love to see Captain Phil munching away on almonds, sunflower seeds, dried apricots, raisins, dried cranberries, oranges, apples, bananas, grapes, carrots, celery, parsley (it’s delicious especially organic), brocolli, pecans, macadamia’s, pumpkin seeds, um, acai berry juice, any organic juices and anything else you can think of “good for you that you like”. Then after you have been snacking so healthily you can slip in some organic potatoe chips with maybe some sea salt! yummy! ;o) Once you start you will feel so much better it will rewire your brain and it will all come natural. No pun intended of course! And don’t forget to take ALL those vitamins, especially about 1400 IU’s of Vitamin D3, potassium, folic acid, Vit C!! You’ll have so much more energy and if you share with the crew they’ll feel better too!!! Love yourselves cuz we all sure do!

    God’s Speed,
    Kaye

    PS Cinnamon is really good in the coffee with some real, dark, chocolate powder and good 4 U too!! ;o)

    hey phil i really hope you are on the mend, i have only been watching TDC since the beginning of the last opi season. i think you are one of the biggest characters on the show and without you TDC would be a whole lot duller, so make sure you are back in the captains chair for king crab.
    may your seas be calm and your catch be plentiful, best wishes,

    Hi Phil’

    Hope you are still getting better each day. I know how hard it is to slow down & smell the coffee but sometimes that is the best thing for you. Of course the show wouldn’t be the same without you. I know that you can quit smoking with your grit @ determination. It’s hard as hell but I finally quit after 40 years & heart surgery. Would be lovely if you could sail the CM to the Mississippi Gulf Coast, I would set up camp til you got there just to meet you & the boys. We love you in Ms. also. Thank you for showing people how difficult & exciting some jobs can be. All of you Bering Sea Captains are extremely brave OR crazy but take care & know that prayers go out for you daily.Be Blessed

  10. Heather L Says:

    Hope you and your family are all good and keep on getting better !!!

  12. Samuel Blunt Says:

    Hey

    Caught the episode (in New Zealand) last night where you got ill. Straight on the web to see what the outcome was.

    Hope you get well and are back in the chair next season.

    All the best!

  15. Yvonne Says:

    Hi Capt. Phil
    I have just seen on Deadliest Catch that you have been ill, when watching the episode screened here in New Zealand last night 01 Oct, I kept saying call the F… Coastguard as I could see what was gonna happen. I hope that you are recovering well and that we will see you back on board the Cornellia Marie as the show won’t be the same without you

  19. Tisha Says:

    We’ve only just started watching the new season of Deadliest Catch over here in Ireland, but I just wanted to pass on my best wishes and hope you recover soon….the Cornelia Marie is one of my family’s favourite boats on the show!

    Stay strong, Phil!

  20. Craig Says:

    Hi Phil and everyone-

    I hope everything is going well and you are in good health. I have been watching the show since the beginning and I have to be honest, I only watch it for 3 boats. If you aren’t back then I may have to stop watching. Good luck!!!!! I hope the coffee line goes well too.

    Oh yeah…your kids make the show for everyone in the household.

  21. Wendy Says:

    When will the new season of “The Deadliest Catch” return? I teach 6th grade and my students and I talk about “The Catch” all the time. We can’t wait until the new season. And we all want to see Phil back in his chair of the Cornelia Marie, but only if his health is not jeopardized. We love you guys.

  22. Pam M Says:

    I am Dealiest Catch hooked. Even watch all the repeats. It’s like being on an adventure without being here, but feeling the excitement and tension. I hope you’re well and will return in the 09 season. I also hope you stopped smoking, but I personally know how difficult it is. I stopped cold turkey in ‘80. It takes guts to do it that way, but you pride yourself as a tough guy, so I do know you’re capable of it. Take care. Pam M.

  23. Bruce and Chery Says:

    Had the pleasure of meeting Captain Phil on Sept. 13th in Poulsbo WA. He was signing autographs and promoting his new coffee line. ( The coffee is FABULOUS!). He was so nice and a true pleasure to meet. Oh Phil……I wasn’t kidding when I told you there isn’t a man on earth who can chew gum and be as sexy as you are at it! Thanks for the opportunity to meet you. Chery

  26. Rich and Carole Hoehne Says:

    Captain Phil,

    Thank you so much for the visit and signings for us and friend at Milwaukee Harley Davidson 105th Kicker Booth. It was a fun adventurous thrill for us to see you with Russ and friends there on the second day as well. We were your first to meet Thursday and we helped get Russ and his Dad back to their bikes on Friday. You were wonderful to all the crowd and such a pleasure and treasure to see. What an added bonus to have you make it to the Midwest this year of difficulties for you. We cant thank you enough or tell you what a joy it was to see you feeling better and able to swing through our way. Glad you made to Bonnie and Skip’s for the rides as well. We truly enjoy you and your adventures aboard the Cornelia Marie and so look forward to your return to fishing in the future. May the angels watch over you and yours always in all ways. Hugs and good back rubs to ya Rich and CJ.

  27. Melissa Says:

    Hey Phil, I am so glad that you are doing better. I know you’ll be back next season, it’s in your blood. I know that you’ll be in the captains chair declaring a little whoop ass on the crab!
    Heck, some of us have been watching since season 1, by now you feel like family!
    Take care and sail safe…look for you on the Bearing!
    Melissa, Phoenix Az

  28. Ronald Browand Says:

    Good to see that you’re feeling better Captain, the CM isn’t the same without Phil Harris at the helm in his wheelhouse. I have to say though, if you head out on the grounds for the ‘09 season…all you have to do is stay healthy, stay sharp, and the crab will simply jump into your holds.

    Neptune bless your vessel and every member of her crew.

  29. Lisa Denning Says:

    Hey Phil
    So glad to hear you are better! Hears to a great 09 season! Go get them!!!!
    God Bless (0;

  30. Mary Patricia Says:

    Greetings, Captain Harris. Thank YOU for a very genuine video response. You do look and sound much better. May the end of your summer be fun and full of sunlight. I hope you have read and considered the books and info I sent to you through Bonnie.

  31. Nathan Says:

    Hey Phil, I just wanted to tell you i hope you pull through and that i am praying for you. I also worked for many years with my dad in a family owned business and know just like your boys do that working with family can be some of the greatest times and as we have seen from the show some trying times also. Keep up the good work it wouldn’t be the same without you. Nate

  34. Trish Says:

    Capt. Phil,
    I was very please to find you are doing much better. We have been in our thoughts and prayers and will continue to be for good health and happiness, until we see you again on the Bering Sea with the Cornelia Marie…

  35. Janice Says:

    I haven’t been able to watch being on the road but get well soon and h.ope to see you back on the boat you are my favorite captain.

  36. david haertl Says:

    Phil glad to hear your doing better as a father of 4 boys I know it can be an adventure how are you doing with the boys

  37. Damien Says:

    Hey Phil,

    great to see you doing better, hope it carries on that way m8,take care

  38. Heidi Says:

    Greetings from Minnesota, where walleye is king. ;) Like everyone else, hope to see you onboard your beloved CM this season, but also pray that you listen to your docs and your boys and stay in drydock as long as it takes to get back out there relatively safely! We eat crab in MN, too, so I can’t wait for the next boatful! ;)

    I also wanted to comment on the last ep of “After the Catch.” As you, Mike Rowe and the other guests were all sittin’ around the table, the Hillstrand boyz were hasslin’ your family and the Hansen boyz about your Norwegian heritage - particularly about Ballard and lutesisk. ;) I did not now until that ep that the Hillstrand’s are Swedes - that explains a lot! ;)

    Outside of Minnesota (or the old country) I have never heard/seen the Norwegian/Swede rivaly as intense as it is here! You and the Hansen’s displayed that classic Norwegian stoic dignity in the face of those snarky Swedes! Skol! ;)

  39. carl Says:

    hi,captain phil glad to hear that you are doing better .
    I look forward to seeing you next season & my prayers go out to you and the crew of the c/m and this shout out is for the whole fleet may the wind be at your backs and the fishing be bountiful .
    Captain phil i really hope that you can out fish the timebandit or the northwestern.
    you are the best crab boat captain on the berring sea.

  40. Augusta Bender Says:

    I’ve been out of touch with the Deadliest Catch crews for over a month, and have missed Captain Phil most of all. I’m soooo glad he’s back on the boat, and in better health than last I saw him. I was really worried about him until I saw him again today. Hugs to Phil and his crew, especially his boys. I will be watching daily and checking in on the websites so I can keep up with my favorite captain.

  41. Neely Says:

    Best of luck to you, Capt. Phil! I was out of work with my own health issues when I became acquinted with you and the crew of the Cornelia Marie. All of those late nights without sleep for a couple months caught me up on each season of “Deadliest Catch”. It was hard to get to know you through watching the show just to see you have to struggle at the end of the season with health issues. I wish you all the best for a speedy recovery and that you will be able to continue fishing as you have loved so much of your life. You are in many thoughts and prayers. Take care.

  42. Janet Says:

    Just get well and get back on the show!! Please…:) Glad you are doing well. Take care.

  43. Phylis M. Ingrassia Says:

    Knowing you are taking care of yourself will be thanks enough! May your health improve (continue to have “Guardian Angels” watching over you), be at peace within your heart and in your life, have self confidence in whatever you undertake to make all of your dreams come true and have fun doing it all! God Bless You Always!

  44. larry moore Says:

    hey capt, phil !!,glad your doin better ,cant wait for the new season ,love the show ,im amazed to see what you guys endure on the water ,,stay safe and stay kool!!

  45. Erico Dias BRAZIL Says:

    Hope you have a full recovery and I hope you are back to fish. Best to you man!

  46. Patrice Says:

    Captain Phil,
    Its good to see you are doing better and hope to watch you catch alot of crab during the next season. Will still be praying for you and your crew. Take care of yourself, just remember that your health is the most important thing. If you take good care of yourself then your body will return the favor and let you do the things you love. Would love to try the coffee, but Horn Lake, MS is a long way from Seattle.

  47. Charles Orlik Says:

    Phil,

    Please sell the coffee on the website so me here in NY can get it!

    Thanks!

    Charles

  48. Sherri Says:

    What is the name of his coffee? Will we be seeing this product in the midwest? I love coffee and drink way to much of it, but I’d love to try Phil’s!!

    I want to see Phil healthy,but agree.. it won’t be the same without Phil behind the wheel. Good luck and much happiness Phil!

  49. Cluckie Says:

    You’re lookin’ great….stay healthy….your crew (and your fans!) need you back on that boat!! Us old broads need our Phil Phix! ;o)
    XOXO

  50. Steph Says:

    Phil, you look great! My husband and I are hoping you’re back in the Captain’s chair and kickin’ arse next season! (Obviously you’re our favorite Captain.) I’d love to try your new coffee, but unfortunately it isn’t in the stores here in Wake Forest, NC. Guess I’ll have to make a yearly trek to Seattle (my FAVORITE CITY) now. ;-) Keep up the good work, STAY HEALTHY, and don’t let the boys drive you crazy. (And maybe listen to them once in a while….it’s obvious everyone cares a great deal about you!) Here’s to your health!!

    Much Love,
    Steph

  51. Lynn Says:

    Thanks for posting the video. It’s good to see him looking and sounding better.
    Hugs,
