We here at the BrokenCountry are big fans of “Deadliest Catch” and Catain Phil Harris. Oh, and this crab they catch. Our deepest sympathy goes out to the family and friends of Capt. Phil. Ed.

Captain Phil Harris — star of Discovery Channel’s “Deadliest Catch” — died about an hour ago … sources tell TMZ.

Harris was hospitalized a few weeks ago after suffering a stroke while unloading crabs. He had been doing better until the sudden turn.

Captain Harris died in a hospital in Alaska. He was 53.

Harris’ kids, Jake and Josh, tell TMZ, “It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to our dad, Captain Phil Harris. Dad has always been a fighter and continued to be until the end. For us and the crew, he was someone who never backed down. We will remember and celebrate that strength. Thanks to everyone for their thoughts and prayers.”
