Video Interview of Captain Phil, “I damn near died on the boat”
It appears the word is out… Captain Phil faced a fatal situation this season, but we don’t know when or what episode it will show up on. In fact, he’s still not fully recovered as of today. But, let Captain Phil tell you in his own words what really happened… after the jump is a video from a WGN TV9 interview he did in Chicago with Keith Colburn.
Here is the summary by Discovery Channel of Tuesday new episode:
Deadliest Catch
A Numbers Game
TV-14 (L)A mechanical breakdown presses Northwestern’s Edgar to make a dangerous repair. Meanwhile questionable counting makes Sig lose his temper. Hard work separates the greenhorns on Wizard. On Cornelia Marie, Phil’s health is failing and impacts the crew.

So hey Phil! Yeah I had to do a web search to see what the hell was going on after watching you nearly kick the bucket. I just wanted to say that my family and I are keeping you in thought. After watching that episode, I swear I could not sleep. In some ways you remind me a lot of my own dad, who just like you is a stubborn old man… but I am sooooo relieved to hear that you health is improving. Hang in there and here’s to the future!!

Josh & Jake you boys are very lucky to have your old man. Many of us watching your show never had a dad, father figure or someone to call pop.
I wish I could have had such a great guy just like Capt. Phil in my corner watching my back when growing up.You dont know what you got until is gone so Take care.
Regards and God bless

Capt. Phil, My thoughts and prayers are with you and your crew as well as the many others who are out there doing such a job. I know many viewers/fans share my thoughts in saying that I hope you recover swiftly and you will soon be back to the Cornelia Maire soon. Godspeed.

okay I have been reading quite a few responses. I must say, he doesnt need your advice on personal health issues. He is probably pissed that he already signed away the intellectual property rights associated with that footage to the Discovery Channel because now we all know about his personal situations and not only that, we all feel obligated to somehow comment. Leave the poor man alone.

Phil - You are not only the BEST captain out there, but you are a great DAD! Your sons love and respect you. When you can do the job you do and still
have their loyality and love, you have done what a lot of men can’t seem to do staying at home. Get well and get back out there with your family.
May God bless.

Just want to let you know that my son and I love watching you and your crew on Deadliest Catch, as well as all the crews of the ships in the show…. When we seen the episode where your had difficulties my son turned to me and said I hope he will be alright and asked if we could ask Zeus and Posiedian to watch over you and the rest of the crew of the Cornelious Marie. Apparently They did and we are grateful for it. I hope we see you out on the Seas again knocking the piss out of those tasty crabs.
Thank You and the Discovery channel for the opportunity to experiance the thrill you and your family get to experiance on a yearly bases.

Best show on TV! I watch the rerun in the AM, then watch them again in the PM. I was in Vietnam and Laos four times, I retired with disability after 23 years as Police Lieutenant, and I would NOT set foot on your deck, unless it was to shake your hand. Captain Phil, please take care of your health, don’t make me come up there. Remember, you are a long time DEAD. We don’t want you to join your Dad, just yet. 50 or 60 years will be soon enough. God Bless and look over all of you.
A big fan, LT Bean

Dear Phil,
My husband and I watch the Deadliest Catch faithfully. This is a true blue show and nothing else like it.
You have probably heard this so many times, but please take better care of yourself by not smoking. I am in the health care profession and smoking kills! I cringe when I see you and your sons and all the crews light up. We love you and want you in our lives. We sit on the edge of our sofa praying no one gets hurt or loses their lives. We want you to enjoy your life and live as long as God lets us. I know from what I read Heaven is a much better place, but darn we need you on earth to enjoy your boys and your family and friends.
So please stay healthy.
With love and admiration.
Maggie
