News that is a serious bummer. Tuesday night, Captain Phil Harris, from Discovery Channel's reality show "The Deadliest Catch," died   from complications following a recent stroke.  His death came as a shock. I thought he was getting better. Captain Phil was just 53.   His show made him possibly America's favorite captain. Easily, he was the best captain on the show. His passing is a sad event.

"Deadliest Catch" is a very good reality show that documents  the crab fishing industry in the  Bering Sea, in the dangerous waters off Alaska.  Captain Phil skippered, the Cornelia Marie, one of the crab-fishing vessels featured on the series. He came across the tube as a great guy, a man to have a drink with. To many fans, including me, Captain Phil  and his crew were the best thing about the show. "Deadliest Catch" won't be the same without him..

RIP Captain Phil, you will be missed.
