We've been fans of Deadliest Catch before their budget could afford the fancy camera work. I can't remember if the first episodes had Mike Rowe's now infamous voice, but I'm certain the show has made him even more famous.
The only thing better than looking at Mike Rowe is hearing his voice.
Captain Phil has always been a favorite. We've always called Captain Jonathan, Russell as he looks like our grandson's other grandfather.
His brother Andy has a large horse farm in Indiana. Edgar Hansen from the Northwester is beginning to sound like he is ready to give up fishing because it is costing too much time away from his family.
And this guy is just one big jerk.
Although I haven't verified it, I'm fairly certain the idea for the show came from another Discovery Channel's show which was called Ten Deadliest Jobs. I still remember the #1 Deadliest Job was the Alaskan Crab Fishermen.
So, if you are a fan of the show at all, by now you've heard that everyone's beloved Captain Phil passed away from a massive stroke.
So, while this show was supposed to be a manly show, it has turned into the ultimate chick flick that makes even the big guys cry.
Farewell Capt Phil. We'll "sea" you on the other side.
Just finished watching the two hour episode. Now THAT's the way to celebrate someone's life. Not with tears, but with laughter.
