** The Seagull legend is mentioned again in "A Wing and a Prayer." Keith has been doing everything possible to rid the Wizard of bad juju, to no avail. Numbers finally pick up after a huge seagull makes its way into the ship's galley. CMOH comes in when Keith mentions the effort it must have taken the seagull to get into the galley. This Troper likes to think it was Phil dropping in on an old friend.

* Combined with TearJerker and UnFunnyAneurysmMoment: ''Deadliest Catch'' was still filming when Phil suffered his stroke. The film crew debated about continuing, but when Phil woke up from his ''medically-induced coma'' he gave them a note that the season "needed a big finish". Producer Thom Beers found it amazing, hilarious, and eventually heart-rending that Phil was "producing the show" from his hospital bed. And prior to that, the last time we see the Harris family together, they're reminiscing over some very old photos in their own way ("Aw, who's this ugly m[=[=][[SoundEffectsBleep BLEEEEEP]][=]=]er?").

** Regarding the ''Wizard''[='=]s tribute: in season 10 during opilio season, one of the other boats found the buoy that had been sent down with the crab pot. Apparently it had broken free and returned to the surface of its own accord. He sent it on to Phil's son Josh, figuring it might be a sign of approval from the old man, since Josh had just purchased a share of the ''Cornelia Marie'' and was looking to become its captain.

Just because ''DeadliestCatch'' features a lot of rough-and-tumble fishermen doesn't mean it can't pull your heartstrings every now and then. Here's some of those moments:

* Greenhorn Chris of the Wizard had to be medevac'd in the middle of the season due to his body giving out, nearly suffering a heart attack in the process. All the regular crew, especially Freddy, wondered if they'd been too hard on the kid--Freddy in particular wanted to apologize for him. On ''After the Catch'', however, he spoke with his crewmates on the Wizard, and said that, yes, they'd been hard on him, but they were ''right'' to be hard on him--it was a demanding job, and his body just wasn't up to it. They had nothing to apologize for. (Freddy's "I'm ''not'' sorry" falls into this category as a result, especially since [[ActuallyPrettyFunny Chris laughed about it]].)
