The guy who took over for Captain Phil Harris on "Deadliest Catch" could really use some sensitivity training ... because dude used Phil's death to rip a crew member ... in front of Phil's TWO SONS. 
TMZ has obtained a clip from the upcoming season of "D.C." ... in which Derrick Ray -- the new skipper of the F/V Cornelia Marie -- gets into a serious verbal spat with engineer Steve Ward.
During the fight, Phil's son Jake pleads for the two to make up ... and that's when Ray heartlessly snaps and says,"Phil's not here, he's f**king dead, okay?"
To make things worse ... Phil's other son Josh is also in earshot.
The new season kicks off April 12.

Sound like a **** thing to say, but maybe he had a reason. Those guys are under a lot of stress and pressure. I'm sure he would take it back if he could.

I hope one of Phil's sons clocks this son of a bitch right in the kisser. This guy is a bully and has zero respect for anybody. Reminds me of my old man, hes just trying to pick a fight for no reason because hes violent.

That's why the Cornelia Marie has a new captain – Tony Lara.

Scripted for drama hoping to get more viewers. Shame they have to use a deceased man for that purpose.

#5, boring show? wow, you are insane, its the best show on TV. ANd I also don't think it was scripted to get viewers, I just think this captain is a complete jerk , probably because he isn't getting RESPECT because he thinks he gets respect just because he walks on the boat with the label CAPTAIN. Sorry, you get respect in that world by showing the guys you know how to run the boat. What a jerk and yes Jake or Josh should have either confronted him about what a crap thing to say or dropped him with a punch. Well at least this season I see which captain I get to hate on already. Can't wait for the season to start, best show on television!!
and god bless you Captain Phil, R.I.P. , the show will never be the same without you.

Too bad Murray didn't come back to captain the ship. Captain Phil was my favorite, so it's going to be hard to accept a replacement.
