Captain Phil Harris

His instinct for the best fishing grounds in the Bering Sea and his unwavering commitment to his crew are legendary. His alcoholism, notorious infidelity, and outbursts of anger were feared. When Captain Phil Harris died at just 53 years old in Anchorage, Alaska, millions recognized his storm- and vodka-weathered face. Who was the man that his companions called either the "King of the Bering Sea" or the "toughest bastard in the world"? Captivatingly narrated by Harris' sons, "Captain Phil Harris" tells the story of a little boy's dreams aboard his father's fishing boat, the first stormy voyage of a seventeen-year-old greenhorn, unpaid and seasick, and the fairytale rise of a battered crab fisherman to the dazzling television hero of the DMAX series "Deadliest Catch." A life as wild and unpredictable as the Bering Sea. The saga of an unyielding spirit.
