Kicker Captain Phil Harris of Discovery Channel’s “Deadliest Catch” has been manning his boats for more than 29 years, but he recently docked his ship to visit KICKER headquarters and several hundred fans!

Captain Phil found the perfect connection with KICKER. After fitting his crab boat, Cornelia Marie, with a glacier-busting KICKER system to make crews all over the seas envious, the captain had to come back for more. With KICKER’s ability to make anything that moves bump, we customized his Harley-Davidson for a smooth ride that can rock.

“I just love KICKER,” Phil said. “They make a great product and have great people.”

The KICKER team, guests, and fans had the opportunity to meet the Captain firsthand on May 27 for autographs, pictures, and the chance to buy Captain Phil Harris merch.

“I watch ‘Deadliest Catch’ every day,” fan Shelly Hollar said. “I just love the show and I don’t want the ratings to go down!”

Shelly drove three hours to come meet Captain Phil.

“When I heard he was coming, I knew I had to make the trip!” Shelly said.

Legendary Stillwater bar-and-grill Eskimo Joe’s also had the opportunity to meet the Discovery Channel star later that evening. Lines were long there as well.

Can’t get enough of Captain Phil? Catch all the action and drama Tuesdays at 9 p.m. EDT on the Discovery Channel. Check your local cable listings.
