Bless all crew and families and certainly much aloha comes Phil’s way. Best wishes to all for a safe and happy 2009 – Hauoli Makahiki Hou!
What fun to watch the marathon – I have to admit to going back and forth on Sunday; from “Highway 18″ on the Golf channel (it’s like
what the Amazing Race is but for golfers, it was awesome) and “Deadliest.” One of my very favorite episodes is the “Behind the Scenes”
where we see not only the dangerous job of the fishermen but of the camera men and their crew, what amazing things they do!
Bless all of them too in the coming year! Great Job all and Opilia too! Thanks for a great website!

Mike Caldwell said
To Captain Phil H I have watched Deadliest Catch from the start. Can’t seem to find the right place to see how my Favorite Cap’t is fairing. I am 54 going on 55 and having health issues myself. Worried about your health probably more than my own. You know how that is. Focus on someone else, not yourself. How are you, health wise. Will you be able to make the next season. Loved the marathon. Wishing it was a daily thing from now on. Your 2 young Sons seem like the typical nieve at their age (just like us) but commending young gentlemen. I wish you the best and for whatever reason, have had you, My friend in my thoughts and prayers. I am a High Voltage Electrician, and you, my friend, can have the f___ing Bering Sea. I can’t even imagine that. Scary, very scary. You are the Man. Of all the Captains, and I like them all, you are my favorite. Be Cool and take care of yourself and be a hard ass on Jake and Josh. They will carry on. You have to make sure they know it all and then some. Take care my Friend.
I have a daughter in her last year of College. Trying My best to keep her from being a deck hand on the Bering Sea. I would rather allow her to join the Army. And that ain’t happening. I work with 345,000 Volts of electricity on a regular basis and you can have the Bering Sea. I will take my chances. What you do makes me shiver. Good Luck and take care.
Mike, Donna and Chelsea Caldwell
A Guy from the great state of Texas. God Bless you and your family.

Happy New Year to the Crew of the Cornelia Maria!
Praying that Capt. Phil is doing well. God allowed me to survive cancer this past year and just wanted to say I’ve been thinking and praying for you. May the Lord give you many more years.
I really have enjoyed watching Deadliest Catch (all seasons and even the re-runs) and am looking forward to the new season coming up.
Be safe and may your tanks always be FULL!

marvin of Doha Qatar said
Hi Captain Phil,
I am from the Philippines working abroad here in Doha, Qatar. I think i’m the only fan here in Doha of The Deadliest Catch. I’ve been watching the show and looking forward to buy the season in on DVD.
I am looking forward to watch the next season which is 5 and keep on following your every story and your sons plus the whole crew of Cornelia Marie.
I feel like one of your deckhand whenever i watch. I have now in my possession the season 3 & 4 and I always repeat them over and over again.
I was so shocked during the episode 13, 14 & 15 where you were coughing off blood which caused by the blood clot from your leg. I prayed and still praying for your health and hoping to see you on the next season behing the wheels of your baby, Cornelia Marie.
Keep up the strong faith and God be with your journey always…
Marvin of Doha, Qatar

tom garrigan said
Capt. Phil,
So sorry about your DVT/PE…had one myself! Check with your docs about whether a Greenfield filter can help get you back on the Cornelia Marie! Hopefully, you won’t have to be on warfarin the rest of your life (that would certainly prevent you from getting back on a crab boat unfortunately). Nevertheless, hope you’re feeling well & at least, looking forward to many happy years to come! I’ve enjoyed your exploits, your crew, & your King crab!!!!

I WOULD LOVE PURCHASE BIRD HOUSES THAT PHIL MAKES IN HIS SPARE TIME…CAN ANYONE HELP?
Diana said
Phil,
Quit smoking!
In case no one has brought it up………your illness
is related to your smoking and your senentary life style.
Yes I know “who does she think she is”.I am a critical care RN and I have worked for 32 years taking care of chronic illness and families in crisis. I have held the hands of dying patients and hugged their family after they died. Their families never understand why.
The saddest thing is there was always a choice.
It has always brought tears to my eyes to see the pain of those left behind.
Why am I telling you this? I have always been attracted to the rebel that stands tall and says what he thinks and without regret lives his life as he sees it. So if you are the man I believe you are listen to your body with
all your senses and do the right thing. Get healthy
and be happy. There is so much the world has to offer.
I speak from personal experience, very similar to yours.
I mean no disrespect and certainly do not wish to add to
your distress. Just someone who cares.
Diana
A. Kani said
Sending you some Italian-mother guilt (with love )from NJ,Capt. Phil. you’re killing me! After all that you’re still smoking? Please quit smoking!! can’t you hear me? I yell at you when you smoke and laugh with you, not neccessarily at you, when your boys drive you nuts and give you grief. =) Just want to see you healthy and back on the water buddy.
All joking aside, love what you guys do. Thanks for letting us in. We pray for you all the way. You are a brave bunch and a great group of guys. All the best. Keep safe.
Kim Mason said
I know Capt. Phil will be fine. As he’s to mean to die, God don’t want him and the devil is afraid he will take over. All in all I can’t wait to see him at sea again. The Sea hags has her favorate that she keeps safe in loving arms and Phil you are #1 on her list.
Brian said
Capt. Phil,
Though I have never met you I feel like I know you. Hang in there and please do as the doctors say; Josh and Jake need you around to keep them safe and make captains out of them as well.
I was so disapointed to watch the season 5 show on April 14th and have to watch you watch your boat leave port without you, I’m sure that was a rough time for you.
How are you today? I have thought about you and your health alot and I pray for you and your family.
Brian Arbogast said
Capt. Phil,
Just want you to know that there are people in the state of Virginia that are thinking you of you and praying for you. Hope you are doing well and keeping Josh and Jake in line, they are fine young men and will make great captains of your boat one day.
Please listen to your doctors and do as they say, they only are looking out for you and your health.
Season 5 won’t be the same without you; I was shocked to see your boat leaving the dock without you (i can only imagine how you felt), Hang in there buddy and I will keep you in my prayers.
Brian Arbogast, Harrisonburg, VA

Captain Phil,
I pray for a full recovery for you and I hope that you have a successful year. Your sons are troopers, use their strength to help you through your struggles right now. That’s what family is all about, and your kids have unbelievable resolve.

We hope all is well with you and your family. My husband and I try to catch the show every week. Take care and know you are always in out thoughts.
Kyle Gould said
phil and the crew of the cornelia marie. what you guys do is incredible, i wish you all the best. every night you are in my prayers. I have been a lobster fisherman in maine for about 3 years now, while lobster fishing is dangerous, i cant even imagine what you do. phil, my dad had the same problem with blood clots while he was a lobster fisher man captian on the f/v portland star. i hope you are able to enjoy life and can teach your sons the art of fishing like my dad was able to teach me.
god speed and calm seas, pray for red sea at night

Shari Wasson said
Dear Phil, I’m not going into your health issue because I know you will take care of yourself, I do know it was serious but we got some great hospitals in Seattle. This isn’t going to be easy, never done this before and not exactly sure what to say., I would like to talk with you sometime if you would like to get together, I’m a pretty, nice lady that lives in Seattle and I think we could have a few laughs, I love the woods and the water and think it would be great to get to know each other, if you would like to talk sometime, please email me and we could hook up. If I had met you outside of seeing you on this show, you would’ve caught my eye and I think it would have been mutual, I am a really pretty and funny gal. Hope to hear from you. Shari Wasson
Shari Wasson said
Dear Phil, You seem to be doing much better healthwise, we got some great hospitals in Seattle. I’ve never done this before but i’ll give it a try. I’m a pretty, nice, funny lady that lives in Seattle. I thought it would be nice if we could get together and talk sometime. I love the woods and the water, adventurous too. If I had met you without ever seeing you on your show, I would’ve liked to get to know you more and I’m sure it would have been mutual. If you would like to talk sometime, please contact me. I think we would have some laughs and a lot in common. I’m not much of a computer person but I thought I would give this a try. Hope to hear from you, Shari

Phil, Get better soon!! Maybe one day you’ll be well enough to do a little Ice Fishing with the guys over here in Maine? You would have a WICKED good time I think. I don’t! You’ll never catch me walking on water. (lol) I’ve been out once but I was pulled, heels dug in and all. It was qite funny. Hope you come out here one day. Feel better!! Lori
Dave A.M. said
How is Capt. Phil?
It’s a real bummer he’s not fishing!

I know!!!It sucks he can’t go fishing! Knowing Phil, he’s probably pacing back n’forth and making ruts in the floor.

Dear skipper phil,
I would just like to let you know that i was very concerned about your health problem.I,am glad to see that you stopped being so hard headed and went in to see the doctor and handed over skipper duties to one of the other crew members.Please always be safe!As you are my all time favorite cap and i hope that you can have a good crab season!Of course i love all the other skippers to and wish them good luck and a safe season it is refreshing to see that even throw you guy on the different boats are competive you are all still friends at the end of the day.You are also refreshing in the fact you made BOTH of your son’s josh and jack Work for their full shairs when it would have been just as easy to just give it to them.I liked it when you told him about the least amount of work for the most money and that you had the agreement with both of your son’s that when they started it was NOT father/son,it was employer/employee relationship as much as you loved them you WILL not play FAVORITES!
TO:JOSH AND JAKE HARRIS,AS WELL AS ALL THE OTHER CREW OF THE MARIE.
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK,AND BE SAFE!
pamela said
To:gam,
I hope you can find more crab then you have been hitting!I just want to know how long you’ve been a crab fisherman and how long you’ve been able to be a skipper?Phil,I hope you can come back soon as we deadlest catch fans miss you a lot.

Jenny Bond said
Capt. Phil,
Wanted to say hello and let ya know that you guys are my favorite. I was so worried about you when I found out about your health. Hate not seeing you on your throne. I hope you are getting better and can’t wait to see you again. The show is just not the same without you. Also the crabs are not biting w/out you either. Guess they are waiting for you to come back too. Best of luck and can’t wait for your return. Love you Guys.
Peter from Michigan said
Captain Phil,
It is health first because without that you have nothing. So take it easy and do what the doctors say and remember to pray honestly to God daily because doing that will get you God’s blessings and may get you back on that boat quicker than you might expect!
God Bless,
Peter
Angie Ellis said
I watch the show all the time. I like the Cornelia Marie the best and always like to see them at the top of the list of pounds caught. I was worried about Captain Phil and it was sad to see that he was unable to go out this season. I hope he is doing better and will be able to continue fishing next season. Phil, you should be very proud of yourself and your sons. They have been raised right and it’s great to see how close you are. I was wondering who the Cornelia Marie was named after? Good luck!

Ernie said
Hey Phil,
Hope you are still doing well recuperating from your lung situation. Was glad to see you back on the boat! Your boat and team are my favorite to watch. I am not sure why just seem to connect with you guys situation more for some reason. Maybe cause you have your two sons working with you. I hope you continue to do well in your recuperation. You gotta quit smoking somehow! Hope you get caught up with you crab quota to pay for your recent boat repairs too.
Jeanine said

Hope you are feeling better. P.S. STAY AWAKE

I do believe that the Colburns were looking for some airtime setting on top of you. They will only lose fans doing this.
Keep up the good work CM.

Hello to Everyone,
Well we are FINALLY going to see the beginning of season 5 tonight in Australia. Talk about slow, I have known about this series since the beginning of the year and I have been itching to watch it. I hope(by now) every boat that entered the Bering Sea had a great seasons catch and that everyone on board their respective boats came home safely to their families. And are you Phil taking care of your health? Hope so! Keep safe, healthy and enjoy life.
