The big fisherman in the sky called home Deadliest Catch star Phil Harris.

Earlier this year Harris suffered a stroke while in port at St Paul Island, Alaska and died this week.

Harris began his fishing career at a young age and was one of the youngest people ever to captain a fishing vessel. His exploits were shown the world over on the Deadliest Catch tv series.

Thank you Phil for sharing commercial fishing with the rest of the world.
