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."

This really is a shame. I haven't watched the show in a couple years, but when I did watch it Phil and the Cornelia Marie was my favorite boat to watch. Smoking, eating poorly, and drinking lots of Red Bull was bound to catch up with him.

*Hail Mary*

Sooner or later even the strongest of men succumb. I loved the back-and-forth between Capt. Harris and his boys, his gravelly voice, and the constant air of tension that perhaps belied the truth of his profession and way of life.

Shame RIP

Those ciggys finally caught up with him.

He was definitely one of the more interesting captains to watch, but I can't say that I'm completely surprised. I don't think that I saw a single shot of him without a cigarette...those things will kill you. Still, my condolences go out to the family.

He was easily my favorite to watch, always something happening on his boat.
