Phil Harris, the Seattle-based skipper of the Cornelia Marie on TV's "Deadliest Catch" has suffered a stroke.
He was stricken while off-loading in port and is in a hospital, according to the show's Web site.
UPDATE - February 1, 2010: Josh and Jake Harris thank everyone for their heartfelt thought and prayers. The Deadliest Catch community has always been more like family than just fans, and Discovery Channel joins the Harris boys in thanking everyone for their wishes of support. Captain Phil is resting comfortably and is in the care of excellent doctors and nurses. We will update everyone on his progress as best we can.
Josh and Jake, Harris' sons, are deck hands on the crab boat.
You can go to the site's message board to leave get-well wishes for Harris.
TMZ reports that Harris is in a medically induced coma after undergoing surgery.
So sorry and sincerely hope he is alright. I've watched the show many times and have always been struck by what a high pressure, high stress job it is and the fact that most of them seem to be heavy smokers and drinkers.
Holy mackeral. As cod is my witness, I thought Phil might have been
keeled by his stroke. I mean for reel. This could have been a sole
shattering incident but it looks like he's not fin-ishd yet since he
really is a smart, briny fellow with a troll sense of humor and this
in itself is quite a tail.
However, I hope I don't have this bass ackwards but if I do, it surfs
me right for trying to feed you a line. It shore would because I don't
mean to harbor any doubts about his eel-ness.
I don't want to rock the boat or make waves but something might smell
fishy here with all of the pier pressure, at least that's what my
crabby aunt Chovie believes, but I've had it up to the gills with her
attitude.
According to his dock, Phil had been floundering and needed alot of
expert kelp to tackle his condition, which bites, but now he's getting
Betta, yet he could have been krilled.
I waited with baited breath for this and I believe it's the up to the
minnow news.
PS: Please forgive this post cause once and a whale I'm prawn to
overreact, being a prow fan of the show--jaws because its good and it
does serve a porpoise.
I don't want to carp but I have a feeling that Phil will be flexing
his mussels and eyeing the gulls again soon , because buoys will be
buoys, even when they're put back together with baleen wire.
Or I could be all wet.

Man, I don't know if I can even watch the show anymore. Phil and his boys were the "human" touch.
I agree. I love Captain Phil and Ding and Dong. I hope they continue on the Cornelia Marie in his name.
I am so bummed out about his passing. He was at a meet and greet here a year or two ago and I couldn't make it but tried to get my friend to slip him my phone number. What can I say, I loved the mullet man. He will be sorely missed by many.
