Prayers and good thoughts going out to Capt. Phil and his family. I read he suffered a stroke while off-loading his catch on Sunday and is now in a medically-induced coma.

This broke my heart this morning when I read Sig's post on FB.
RIP Captain Phil

New season starts April 13th. I'm curious how they will handle the death of Phil Harris. I thought that Discovery did a good job with Billy Mays and Pitchmen when he passed. Hopefully, it will be very respectful...

I know. I'm curious too. They've really been advertising and building up the new season. I read on MSN (so it must be true) that Phil wanted the cameras rolling while he was in the hospital prior to his death.

His website backs that up, and they did film it. Over the course of the show he became very close with the guy (Todd Stanley) who shot the Cornelia Marie to the point that they were past the Captain / Videographer relationship.

The site said that Discovery has all of the footage, but they have said that they will not do anything with it until they hear what the family's wishes are for the footage. I can understand if they say don't use it, but then again, it was Phil who scrawled on a note pad that said, "Got to get the ending, ending to the story." Todd asked him again if he wanted to keep filming, and Phil indicated "yes". His sons idolized him. My guess is that they will do what Phil wanted...

Yeah, that's about what I read. I guess we'll see.
I loved Phil--second only to Sig. I'm sure gonna miss him.
