FANCAST interview with Captain Phil Harris

I’m sure all the Deadliest Catch fans out there are just as excited as I am to see Captain Phil Harris back on the open sea. It’s great to see him back in his chair doing what he loves and spending some quality fishing time with Jake and Josh. Just can’t get enough of Captain Phil and the Cornelia Maria crew? Check out this FANCAST interview to get even more of your Captain Phil fix! Nobody is more aware of the struggles Alaskan Crab Fisherman face every season on the Bering Sea than Captain Phil.

“You got to be mentally tough. You got to drop all [your personal stuff] and forget all that. You’re just walking away from everything you know. You’re not going to be back for three months. That’s tough to do.”

captphil-fancastRead about the Captain’s pet peeves, must-haves on any fishing trip and more in the FANCAST interview and of course, don’t miss seeing Captain Phil in person June 25th at Ray’s Food Place in Mount Shasta, California.  Captain Phil will be at Ray’s from 4 to 7pm meeting, greeting and signing autographs to say “thank you” to his fans and customers. Come see your favorite Deadliest Catch Captain and taste his new line of Captain’s Reserve Coffee!

    Phil, you’re the reason we watch DC. Well, Andy and Jonathan too, but you’re the man.

    We felt so disconnected without the internet for awhile, and we were extremely anxious to hear of how you were doing and whether or not you were coming back. We are SOOOOOOOOOOO happy you’re back where you belong, bein’ the best damn crab fishin’ Captain in the fleet. Hope all is wellm you’re feelin’ good, and you’re enjoying the summer. Washington is worth the rain, eh?

    Keep the wind in your hair, and f*#(@ that ice!

    Fondly,

    Ali and Dave

    Hey Capt. Take care and be good to your self..here’s a little prayer for ya’…

    I pray that I may live to fish…….
    Until my dying day.
    And when it comes to my last cast,
    I then most humbly pray:
    When in the Lord’s great landing net
    And peacefully asleep
    That in His mercy I be judged
    Big enough to keep.

    Peace and Prayers & keep on keepin’ on.

    Best of luck,
    Mari =)(marlyne Teresa west)

    DC is first on our TV – marathons run all day! Captain Phil’s the best man in this or any other fleet! Nearly gave me my own heart attack when he got sick. Wanted to pitch his cig’s overboard myself. So very glad he’s better. Hope his ever-lovin’ wife is feeling a bit more herself after the scare he gave her! May the Lord always bring you experienced crews, full pots and calm seas!
