Deadliest Catch

[Daisy and Delilah]

I'm a little behind everybody else but I watched the episode last night where Captain Phil died. I'm sorry I've missed watching that show. I really loved it. I was bawling out of control at the end and I'm still having trouble getting over it.

It was so very sad, wasn't it Terry? I too was in tears. Did you watch "After the Catch" that followed, with the other captains and the camerman that had been with Phil for 3 years.. Phil knew he wasn't going to pull thru, when he asked the camerman to film the end, because his story wouldn't be complete with just a beginning and a middle. That really got to me.
They gave him quite a tribute on Burbon St. tho. I wonder if he ever knew how many people, from family and friends to strangers, that really loved him?

I watched it too. Captain Phil is one of my favorites. I got the feeling he knew right at the end that he was going. Just because of the way he talked to Josh and wanted his good luck necklace and all.

Next week will be a two hour special and tribute to him. He will sure be missed. He's the only person I ever heard of who could find crab by looking for their fart bubbles. I didn't even know crabs did that.

RIP Captain Phil

I watched part of it last night and it sure was sad. Any illness is sad when it changes a person so drastically but a stroke is especially evil. I felt bad for him and I changed the channel. I just don't want that sadness in my house or in my heart and I don't want the fear either. I'm becoming too soft in my old age.

Yes, Ellie. It was so sad. I felt so sorry for him and his sons. I am amazed at how tough those guys are. That is a really scary job.
I didn't watch the whole show afterward but I saw part of it. Phil seems like he was such a sweet man.
Once I started watching I couldn't pull myself away from it.

I don't remember the current captains name but he was on a commercial here today talking about fishermen and the support we should give them. After watching that show and what they do I have a new respect for all those guys. That seafood doesn't come so easy.

When Phil told his son he wished he had been a better father I fell apart. So so sad.

Was this guy in the show? Seems like a very unusual family.

That is the father of the youngest crewmember on the ship the North Western. The crewmember's name is Jake. His dad went missing from their home. They have been following the story on the Deadliest Catch.

The last update on the show is that they found the man's truck but no sign of him yet.

Did it ever cross your mind that he "poofed" himself??? I was thinking that he couldn't handle the death of his daughter - remember when it was on the show and Sig had to get Jake to shore to go home to be with the family when his sister died?

Just a thought...............
