Tonight, April 12th is the season premiere of the 7th season of Discovery Channel’s Deadliest Catch. This will be the 6th season in a row that our fishing boat has been featured on the show. (We played a very small part in season one). Tonight’s premiere episode is two hours long starting at 9 pm. We know it features a final farewell to our skipper, Capt. Phil Harris. I wrote about this in earlier blog and was able to see a sneak preview at CatchCon on Saturday. It looked like the stars aligned for Capt. Phil to have a ceremony like he probably would have wanted. His Dad and two boys were there, surrounded by all his fishing buddies.
According to Discovery, “Two new boats join the fleet this season. Dubbed “the floating frat house,” the Ramblin’ Rose introduces a young, rowdy crew skippered by Elliott Neese, all of 28 years old, and already boasting about his fishing prowess. Seabrooke Captain Scott Campbell Jr., 36, adds youth and cockiness as well but behind the steely confidence, Junior is still haunted by the loss of a deckhand at sea. Can he battle back and conquer his demons?”

Hi Morgan, thanks! It is noon here so I’m awake
Unfortunately I’ll have to wait here in Holland for the premiere. But I have you @YanceyFD & @itsladolcevita to tell me! Take Care!
I am looking forward to see the new season of Deadliest Catch, it will be strange to not see Captain Phil again. I have heard it is going to be a wild season. And again Morgan, as always thank you for these blogs. xoxo
When is the premiere going to be aired in Canada? Left behind again just for being Canadian.
unfortunately here i gotta wait til next tuesday for the premiere but its gonna be awesome and i hear gonna be a really good season. I like everyone is gonna miss seeing phil though. R.I.P Phil
i have waited all winter for the new season..i love this show. this is all about hard work, hard livin, and family.thanks.
I have missed you all so much…
Watching now, would of liked to see more on the spreading of the ashes, but was very excellent as it was, Jonathan watch were you fire that gun! LOL
Sunday–April 10th all day marathon of deadliest catch
it is not listed on my pvr for the 12th
Nice new start, (New Blood) But will ever really be the same with out Capt. Phil? I will still be watching… Peace and Prayers
It was a very good show. I think the opener with all of the boats gathered around the Cornelia Marie was espically nice, The send off for Phil was both Touching and Perfect. Phil Harris is where he was most at home, At sea.
It is gonna be hard to watch and not see Phil and hear his wisdom of crab fishing. I wish the boys Josh and Jake and the crew, Best of fishing boys.
I miss CAPT PHIL … AN I THINK THE SMART ONE OF ALL CAPT IS SIG..
Season 7 premier was just awesome……. Will deeply miss Capt. Phil
ABSOLUTLY ADORED that they opened the new season with Captain Phil talking about everything he loved, but incredibly sad, too. And the new opening is perfect…Phil maybe gone from this world, but he lives on in his boys hearts. I want to thank all the guys of the deadliest catch for opening up their lives and hearts with all of us. GOD Bless!
Deadliest Catch without Phil = Nothing. But I’ll be watching it.
I thought the opening was just awesome! and the intro video with a quick, ghost like image of Cap Phil was just perfect! Gives you chills….
I loved the image of Phil also. No one could ever forget him, but who would want to.
One Question– Where is Matt Bradley from the Northwestern? He’s not on the NW this year?
I watched last night! It was a great beginning but they could have spent more time on the ceremony. The new captain is a JERK! I hated him as soon as he made the comment about Captain Phil being dead right in front of the boys. I thought Freddie was going to be on the Wizard? Is he changing mid-season? Is it because of the new captain? Jake needs to not fall off…the 2.5 hour mailbox key trip was crazy! Captain Phil would have never tolerated that! Jake step up…you and Josh are my favorites and you guys make the show worth watching to me. R.I.P Captain Phil…you are truly missed! His words echoing in the background of the season premier was eerie and bittersweet! Good Luck crew….I wish you full crab pots and a safe journey!
Enjoyed the show last night. Loved hearing Phil at the beginning, but can’t help thinking of the huge void left by him not being there. So proud of Josh & Jake and how they seem to be handling things. Can’t imagine how hard going back must have been for them. Glad to know Phil will always be at sea where he loved being most of all. It’s truly a different show now, so time will tell if DC can weather the changes. I hope so. Phil was the quintessential crab boat captain, so it will be interesting to see how the new blood tries to measure up.
I missed the first hour because of a recital. What I did get to see was amazing though. I hope they re-air the episode sometime this week so that I can catch up on what I missed. The crew looked great though. Jake looked so much better. I hope he’s continuing to stay out of trouble.
When will the season premiere be available online? I love this show but haven’t been able too watch it lately.I would love too watch it online so could someone plz tell me when it will be available on here? It isn’t gonna be the same without captain Phil though he was awesome.
I attended CatchCon and I may have an answer to the question regarding Matt. Matt was at the CatchCon and admitted he had a slip with his sobriety and that he has been sober for five months now. I am assuming that his slip, and/or rehab, may have coincided with the beginning of king crab season. He looked well and healthy, and I was very impressed with his progress.
Morgan, if I knew where to send you a photo of Phil’s “duck fart” picture, I would be more than happy to send you one.
Does anyone know where the 2011 After the Catch is being filmed this year.
I am looking forward to the new season….But will miss Capt Phil….
Kimberly It will on April 19th on Tuesday ….on Discovery channel!
Huge gap without Phil,hope things work out for Sig and Edgar.Don’t like the 2 new young captains AT All.Atitude problems.Hope Jonathon or Andy kick their ass! I don’t even like fishing but am totally hooked on this show!!I pray for their safety every trip.
the new season opener was great. sorely missed Captain Phil. You could feel his presence though. Glad his boys seem to be doing okay. Im also glad everybody made it back after the break in one peice. Dont now what this elusive blue crab is that the corneilia marie is going after with the crew. wish discovery gave a little more info about it. Also edgar returned after all his deep thinking last season. keep doing what your doing because the rest of the world is watching and rooting for you all.Never a dull moment.thank all of you guys for doing what you do.

The premiere was a good episode, I am rather bummed by the lack of Time Bandit, and Wizard this season. Must we focus on the new ships this much? I like you analogy about the Recycled Rust Bucket. I swear I remember that ship for earlier seasons like the first or second, but I could be wrong. They need to get back to the ships we have been watching for 6 years, the antics on the Time Bandit, oh and Captain Keith made it to the second episode before his first blow up. But hey the Seabrooke had a greenhorn quit after 2 hours, that might be a record. Working nights at DISH last season I was the DVR boy,and usually the roommate would ruin it for me before I watched, so I had purchased a sling adapter last Christmas, figured it would come in handy, and so far, I haven’t missed an episode, but its odd watching it on my Iphone I must say.
Deadliest Catch is one of the best shows ever made. I saw the whole season in one day. Could not even move from the tv screen.
