Capt. Phil recovering from surgery
Last night Capt. Phil underwent surgery. Both of his sons, Josh and Jake were at his side. Josh flew in from St. Paul to join his brother. It may be some time before we know anything substantial about Phil’s condition.
Thank you to everyone who has sent good wishes and prayers for Phil, his family and the Cornelia Marie crew.
An old family friend of the F/V Cornelia Marie, Derrick Ray flew to St. Paul to take on the role of relief skipper for the rest of the Opilio season.

Phil and Boys, Sorry to hear about the unfortunate stroke. Be strong for your Dad. My Dad also had a stroke on Friday the 29th. So weird. He is an old timer in the Bristol Bay Salmon fleet where me and my brother fished for many years with him. So we definitely understand what you are going through. He is doing much better too, but has a long road to recovery. That business tends to make some tough old captains doesn’t it? We are soooo concerned on how he will be able to get up there this summer to run the boat and see his Grandson try it out for the first time. Good luck.

My thought are with you all. Wishing Phil a fast recovery. Love the show and have been keeping tabs on phil from day one. Indeed when one watches you all the time you become like family although we have never met. Tell phil to rest and take care. We want you all around for many more years to come.

Don’t worry I am pulling through after suffering a heart attack and I am doing fine..I was lucky that when my heart stopped my son was here and did CPR until paramedics arrived. I was zapped 7 times before I reached the hospital. I was told that I should have been in a vegetaded state but was responsive and alert, forgot about two weeks of time but still ok! and so will your dad.

We didn’t know Phil & his sons, but we felt like we did because they were in our living room every time “Deadliest Catch” was on. When we learned of the news, it was such a shock because we thought he was doing better. Please convey our deepest sympathies to Josh, Jake and the whole Cornelia Marie family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

My condolences to Jake & Josh on the loss of their father. Long time fan of the show and always enjoyed watching Phil’s interaction with the family & crew. My brother & I always said that if we had to pick a ship & captain to sail with it would be Phil Harris and the Cornelia Marie. Peace.
