Harris, and his tattooed arms, figure prominently in the spot.
"I always feel better having my kids with me,'' says Harris in a voiceover during the spot. Harris' sons are deckhands Jake and Josh. "I'm lucky being able to fish with them, spend time with them, get to know them -- really know them.''
Season six of 'Deadliest Catch' had already been shot with Harris at the helm of his ship in search of king crab in the frigid Bering Sea before he died. 'Deadliest Catch' fans posted hundreds of pages of condolences in an outpouring of grief on
the Discovery Channel's 'Catch' Web site upon news of his passing.
