Bobby: Woo!
Drew: We're on!
Bobby: Oh! Oh!
Narrator: This
season of wicked tuna...
Mike: Game on! Let's go!
Narrator: Outer banks.
Reed: We're on, baby!
Narrator: Big fish...
Mike: Yes, sir!
Tj: Woo! Woo! Woo!
Mike: That's a big one!
Narrator: And big paydays...
Zack:
Oh, yeah! Woo! Oh, yes.
Narrator: Have been
the name of the game.
Drew: Yeah!
Narrator: Now
it's far from over.
Bobby: We need this
fish bad, but we can't
count the money, man.
Narrator: With an
extended bluefin quota...
Marissa: Endgame, right here.
Bobby: Make it count, guys.
Banks: Woo!
Narrator: Every captain and
crew seizes its opportunity...
Tj: Watch out,
james, shut it off.
Jarrett: Watch that line!
Watch that line!
Marissa: Woo!
Tyler: Woo!
Narrator: For the top spot.
Eric: Come on, baby!
Narrator: Will the
southern fleet continue
their onslaught?
Steve: He's coming.
Banks: Yeah, we're on!
Reed: We're on!
Brian: We gotta
just get our fish.
Narrator: Or can the
northern fleet strike back?
Marissa: Get him, ty!
Mike: I got him! I got him!
Narrator: This is...
Bobby: I'm' on it.
Adam: I know what the
[bleep] I'm doing.
Bobby: Watch out!
Watch out! Oh!
Narrator: Wicked tuna
outer banks.
Bobby: Thank god
we have more quota.
Narrator: For the
first time this season,
offshore outlaw
leads the fleet,
followed by fellow
southern boats kahuna
and rasta rocket.
Meanwhile, northern boats
hot tuna and pinwheel
continue in the
middle of the pack.
While reel e' bugging
and falcon struggle to
break out of
last place positions.
Reed: We got a little
bit of a reprieve on
the quota this week.
We're gonna try
to take advantage of
every minute of that.
I'm definitely not okay
with being number two.
I want to be number one.
The offshore outlaw took
the lead the last day out.
Surprises me 100%,
but we just gotta
try our best.
Hopefully we get one.
Banks: Time to show
everybody what's up.
John-michael: Hey, they're
gonna start airing out.
See that fish airing
up between us and that
big boat back there?
Yup, yup,
right between, yeah!
Yeah, yeah. Look yeah.
Eric:
There they go!
There they go!
John-michael: Yeah.
Right in front of that
yellow boat at 40.
They're airing out!
They're airing out!
They're airing out!
Eric: Let's go in
front of 'em. Go!
Adam: For the first
time this season, we're
leading the fleet.
John-michael: I just saw two
fish right straight behind us,
between us
and that far boat.
Adam: We are extremely
happy about that,
but it doesn't mean
we can take a break.
John-michael: I saw
two of them air out.
Adam: The chase is not
letting up and neither are we.
John-michael: Between
us and that far boat.
Adam: Quit pointing at 'em.
Everybody else has been
[bleep] going to 'em.
Eric: See that bird flying?
Adam: Yeah.
Eric: It's right
under that bird.
Let the games begin, boys.
John-michael:
Yeah that's right.
Tj: The offshore
outlaw has, you know,
definitely impressed me.
I know they can catch fish,
but they're really putting it
together this year.
We're gonna have to watch
out for those guys for sure.
We started the season
off with 49 metric tons
and now 26 metric tons have
been added to that.
This is a major blessing
for the hot tuna.
If there was any boat in
the fleet that needed this,
we're definitely
one of them.
We need to have a couple of
good days on the water and
those guys need to struggle.
Adam: Here fishy, fishy.
Come on, they were right here.
John-michael: I would love
for this to be the fish
so we can get on back in.
Adam: Just need a fish, dude.
Got a mark.
John-michael: Move, move.
Eric: John! John! We're on!
John-michael: Got 'em on!
Oh, yeah, baby! Yeah!
I dropped it in
his damn mouth. Woo!
Eric: Offshore outlaw,
down and tight, baby.
John-michael:
Yeah, baby! Woo!
Come on, baby!
Let's be the one.
Adam: And the outlaw is tight.
Adam [over radio]:
762-646.
Tyler: Freaking brutal.
Reed: Oh, [bleep].
All right.
Tj: They've been the most
consistent boat in the fleet.
And those guys just,
they haven't stopped.
John-michael: Come on, baby!
Be the one we need.
Be the one we need.
Eric: Adam, we'll
switch rod holders.
We gotta keep it tight.
Adam: There it is.
It isn't little.
John-michael:
Might be our ticket home.
Eric: Pretty work, cap.
Get on him, john! Woo!
You awake now, buddy!
John-michael: Yeah, buddy.
Like I'm marlin-fishing.
Getting sprayed in the
back of the boat here.
Adam: Keep him tight, john!
Crank! Crank! You got it.
Eric: Is that the
200-yard mark?
John-michael:
I'll pass that.
Color! It's a tuna.
Adam: It's a big fish, fellas.
Let's just get
him in the boat.
[line snap]
john-michael:
Oh! [bleep]! [bleep]! God!
Adam: [bleep]!
John-michael: Must have
swallowed it and bit it off.
It really is man
versus beast, you know.
If you don't lose a fish,
then you're not
catching enough of them.
I mean that's all
there is to it.
You're not gonna be
perfect, and if you
are, congratulations.
You know, it just don't
often happen that way.
Adam: Chafed him
off on the leader.
Tyler: He pulled him off.
Marissa: Woo!
Tj: Oh, boy.
Zack: We got lucky
that he missed him.
I hate he lost him, but
hopefully we'll get ours.
Reed: Thank god.
Every now and
then we get lucky.
Adam: Yup.
Part of it, I guess.
John-michael: Gotta
start all over again.
Thought that was the one.
Marciano: Right now we're
doing okay, we got two fish,
but it certainly
wasn't worth coming down
here for just two fish.
We came down for
more than that.
I'd like to see
half a dozen before
this season's over,
otherwise it's gonna
be borderline worthwhile
coming down here.
I was on the verge
of just saying,
"to heck with it,"
and heading home.
But we got that
increase in quota.
That gives us a second chance.
Joe: Seems like
the tuna gods shined
down on us a little bit,
gave us a couple more tons.
What is it, 26 more?
Travis: Yeah, definitely
fortunate for that.
I know it went quick
what we had, so.
I don't know how long
this 26 tons that they
gave us is gonna last.
Hopefully these next
couple weeks we can
get ours, you know.
Marciano: I've got
all the confidence in
the world in my crew.
Travis and joe make a
fantastic team together.
I just have to get
us on the meat.
Joe: We'll get ours.
Come on, bluefin.
Mike: Just got set up.
We got the stick
deployed already.
Jarrett's getting
ballyhoos out now, so.
Let's see how it
goes but it'd be nice
to get an early bite,
that's for sure.
Tj: Right now we're
trailing three southern
boats, the outlaw,
the kahuna and
the rasta rocket.
The reel e' bugging
is the worst-performing
southern boat in the fleet.
We're only a little bit
ahead of him by about $9,000.
This little quota
extension definitely gives
us an opportunity to get back
to the top of the fleet
and be the top boat, period,
and I know we can do it.
Mike:
Come on, baby. Come on.
Bobby: One, two, three,
four, five, six, seven,
eight, nine, twelve boats.
Get a nice cruise
speed going here.
It's critical to
bring fish home.
This is a 50-year-old boat.
Every time we do an
offshore trip, we average
220 gallons of fuel.
You leave that dock and
you come in without a fish,
the money just starts
like a register.
So we can't afford
to get skunked.
We cannot afford
to come back empty.
But the hot tuna's
the top northern boat.
We have to at least
get on top of him for my
sanity and my reputation.
It's critical.
We have to.
Jarrett: Come on up and play.
Tj: Bubby,
here they come, get ready.
Jig it.
Bobby: All right, bro,
look at the screen,
marks coming up.
Jarrett: I smell 'em.
Marking the [bleep]
out of them.
Jig, jig, jig them.
Bobby: Look at that [bleep].
Come to papa.
Drew: Any minute now.
Tj: In front of us,
they're blowing up.
Mike: Huh?
Tj: They're blowing
up in front of us.
Mike: All right.
Jarrett: Come on up.
Tj: Keep bouncing, bobby.
Something's
jumping back there.
Bobby: Get ready.
Something's gonna
pop right here.
Tj: Something's just
jumped behind the boat.
[reel unspooling rapidly]
drew: Fish on!
Bobby: Oh, oh, oh!
Drew: All right,
let's get him, boys.
Bobby: I'm ready. Let's go.
Make it count, guys.
Make this sucker count, man.
Brian: It's a
bluefin kind of day.
Tj: Why aren't they
blowing us up, dude?
Mike:
I got him.
I got him.
Whooee! Yeah, baby!
Game on. Let's go.
Tj: Easy, just go easy, easy.
Mike: Tj, I'm not cranking.
I'm taking line, dude.
Tj: Let him go.
Mike: Definitely a nice fish.
He's going straight down.
Dumping me, dude.
Bobby: We got the whole
[bleep] fleet over here, so.
We're gonna have
traffic on this one.
Drew: We got
somebody over there.
Way out there.
Bobby: Yeah, I got him.
I got him.
Brian: Come on, bobby.
Bobby: Dude, I'm trying not
to walk into other boats, bro.
Brian: Keep it coming.
Bobby: All right, bro.
But look, open your eyes,
right in front of you, bro.
Brian: Stop worrying
about everybody else.
Just worry about the...
Bobby: If you look
straight ahead and
they're stretched out
towards us dude.
When you have
a fish on the line
and you're in traffic
with other boats with
fish on their lines,
then the other boat's fish
could wrap around that line and
cut your fish off.
Simple as that.
We gotta move away from
that other fish or it
will tangle with ours and
we'll lose him.
That's what I'm
trying to tell you.
Brian: Well, there's
nothing we can do.
We gotta just get our fish.
Brian: All right.
Bump me forward.
Bump me forward.
It's getting under the boat.
Bump forward.
Forward, forward,
forward, forward!
Bobby: We're not counting
the money yet, you know?
Mike: Something's not right.
I think he might have
broke the bird off.
Straight up and down.
He definitely
broke the bird off.
Tj: Oh, god.
Mike: Hurry up. Hurry up.
Tj: Bubby, let me
get a hold of him.
Watch out, james.
Just shut it off.
Mike: He's gonna go crazy.
Jarrett: Watch that line!
Watch that line!
Man: Swing him, coming up.
Tj: Ah!
Mike: Forward, forward,
forward, forward, forward.
Tj: Stop, stop, stop!
Mike: Something's not right.
I think he might have
broke the bird off.
Tj: We got a fish on
right now, but the
bird is broken away.
When that bird breaks off,
we're only fighting it
from the bandit reel and
the fish isn't
fighting the resistance
of the bird as well,
so I've gotta be
very careful I don't put
too much drag on this
fish, and pop it off.
Mike: Straight up
and down, he definitely
broke the bird off.
Tj: Oh, god.
Mike: Hurry up. Hurry up.
Tj: Bobby, let me
get a hold of him.
Watch out james,
just shut it off.
Mike: He's gonna go crazy.
Jarrett: Watch that line!
Watch that line!
Man: Swing him, coming up.
Tj: Ah!
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
Mike: Forward, forward,
forward, forward,
forward, forward.
Tj: Stop, stop, stop!
He's there. He's there.
Mike: Oh, god.
Tj: Be careful.
Just work him up
nice and easy.
Nice and easy.
Take your time with him.
Bobby: The longer the fight
goes on, it's in his favor.
Because the hole in his
mouth from that hook is
getting bigger and bigger.
It's just a game of
inches right now.
Mike: Fish is down in the
tide, so just a waiting game.
Bobby: It's okay.
We're coming at him, brian.
That's good work, kid.
It's consistent, right?
Drew: Yeah, gonna be on the
surface in a little bit here.
Mike: I see the glow.
He should be here any second.
Brian: There he is.
He's up top.
Bobby: Big fish, bro.
Drew: Spin, bobby, spin!
Bobby: Let's go get him.
Brian: He's on top.
He's swimming that way, bobby.
Jarrett: All right, get ready.
Mike: There he is.
Throw it!
Throw it!
Got him!
Got him!
Tj: Nice [bleep] shot, bro!
Wow!
Mike: Get a gaff,
get a gaff, get a gaff.
Give me the gaff.
Where is he?
Brian: Coming up.
Bobby: I'll put him
right in the back, brian.
Brian: There he is.
There he is. There he is.
Keep him coming.
Keep him coming.
Keep him coming, drew.
Mike: Get a tail gaff.
He's spent.
Here jarrett,
you take this one.
Switch off.
Jarrett: This is
an heavy sucker.
Tj: Yeah!
All: Yeah!
Tj: Woo!
Bobby: Keep him coming.
Drew: Oh, there he is.
Bobby: Keep him coming, drew.
Keep him coming, I'll
get him right here.
Drew: He just popped.
[bleep]!
Brian: He was right there too.
Drew: The feeling of losing
a fish is heartbreaking.
Brian: [bleep], I could
have had it for two...
If we were right there
I almost had him, bro.
That was a
hundred-and-something-inch
fish, bro.
Drew: It's exponentially
worse the closer
they get to the boat.
Brian: That one kind
of stings a little.
Bobby: Yeah...
Drew: It hurts a little.
Bobby: It'll take me
an hour just to get
okay with this one.
This was tough.
Mike: Let's pull him up.
Tj: Bigger than
I thought he was.
That's a big sea
pig there, baby.
Let's measure this bad boy.
You know, we were in
fourth place trailing
three southern boats.
Jarrett: 103 on the dot.
Tj: Good job, buddy.
Jarrett: Nice.
Tj: Let's hope that this
103-incher moves us ahead of
at least one southern boat.
We're heading west, boys.
Jarrett: Nice work, buddy.
Tj: Good job, good job.
Jarrett: It's a beauty.
We're gonna take it in and
see how much money we make.
Tj [over radio]: We're
headed to the west, baby.
Reed: Oh, what is that?
Banks: Figured all
these boats catching
fish had dogs onboard.
Got us a mascot.
So the top few boats have
dogs onboard except for us.
So I decided to run out and
grab us a stuffed rottweiler.
Maybe bring us good luck.
Reed: That's got to
be the wanchese d-o-g.
Banks: The d-o-g.
Perfect.
Reed: Dog.
Banks: Better-looking
species than tj's dogs.
Reed: For the most part,
we're a very serious crew.
We take fishing serious.
And now that there is an
extension to the quota,
I feel like boats
are gonna fish harder.
Having this kind of
keeps things a little
bit on the fun side.
Get up there, d-o-g.
Banks: Hey, be nice to him.
He's gonna stay
right here all day.
Bring us luck.
Steve: At least we we're
have to be cleaning up the
dock like tj every day.
Reed: All right, let's
take this dog fishing.
Banks: Come on, d-o-g.
Steve: Hope he
doesn't get seasick.
Tj: What's happening, den-den?
Dennis: Back on the meat, tj.
Tj: We got another one, man.
Dennis: Let's do it.
Tj: Yeah.
Dennis: Nice big fish.
Tj: When we bring
a fish into the buyer,
we're hoping that
it's got good fat quality,
good oil and a good core.
If that fish has all of
those things going for it,
we're gonna get a
good price per pound.
What's he dressed out at?
Dennis: 465 pounds, tj.
Tj: That's a beauty, man.
Want to get a sample and
see what we got here?
Dennis: Let's do it. Yup.
Tj: Check the quality?
I can already see it glowing.
Dennis: The tail color is
very nice and I do see some
fat in the minor lobes and
just getting started here.
Tj: Right, right, right.
Dennis: Let's see what
your core looks like here.
Tj: All right, let's
check it out, buddy.
Looks pretty good to me, man.
Dennis: Oh, that's nice.
It's a solid core.
Solid red.
Nice red tail color.
It's a nice fish.
Tj: Right.
So with all that said,
what are you thinking, dennis?
Dennis: Nice color fish
with a little bit of fat.
$24 a pound.
Jarrett: Woo!
Tj: Woo!
Mike: We'll take that, man.
Thanks.
Tj: Good job!
Jarrett: Thank you, dennis.
Tj: We're gonna
get back out there.
All right, dennis. See ya.
Dennis: Thank you, guys.
Tj: This is definitely
a huge bonus for us.
Right now, we're
keeping ourselves
in the hunt.
Good job, man.
Awesome.
I think there will
be some butthurt southern
guys if we win this thing.
Brian: Since we
lost that fish this morning,
we've been fishing all day.
Haven't had a sniff.
There might be some
action, getting down
to that golden hour.
So we're getting
our baits right,
make sure we're
ready and hopefully
we'll get another shot.
Bobby: We lost one earlier.
When you lose fish,
it's just devastating.
It's always terrible.
Thank god we have more quota.
This is our second chance
to prove we belong here.
I know we could climb
to the top of the fleet.
I got the best
crew in the fleet.
Drew: Man, it smells
fishy right here.
Brian: Yup.
Bobby: I got two tones.
A lot of two tones.
Look at all these
two tones, drew.
Drew: Really?
Bobby: They're dancing.
Look at them off
the port corner.
They're dancing, man.
Drew: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Bobby: They are everywhere.
Get ready! Get ready!
Drew: Oh. Here we go.
Bobby: We on?
Drew: Fish on!
Brian: Fish on!
Drew: Fish on.
Fish on, brian.
Bobby: Drew,
take over for brian.
Drew: All right.
Bobby: We're going
after him, right now.
Drew:
Taking drag.
Taking drag.
Bobby: Get ready. Get ready.
I'm backing up.
Drew: Going down, bob.
Bobby: All right.
Big wave coming, bro.
Big wave.
Brian: Holy [bleep].
Bobby: I told you big wave.
You all right, brian?
Brian: Yeah, yeah.
Bobby: Brian took an
eight-footer over his head.
Oh. Oh, he's tight.
Drew: He don't like
being tight, bob.
Bobby:
Watch out! Watch out!
Brian: [bleep].
Bobby: That's right where
you want him, right?
Drew: Yup.
Bobby: You still tight?
Drew: Yeah.
He's up high again.
Bobby: Sweet.
We made great headway here.
You can't count
the money, man.
Standoff time.
Crank, crank, crank.
Brian: [bleep] man.
Bobby: It's all right.
Drew: We need this fish, man.
A little scary.
Bobby: You wait
all day for this.
But man, it's
freaking stressful.
Bobby:
Yeah, he's done, dude.
Brian: Yeah, I can see that.
Bobby: I can see
it on his brow.
That's an a*s whooping
you put on him.
Grab a seat.
Drew: Sure, make the old
fat guy do all the work.
Brian: The
four-fingered fat guy.
Drew: Four-fingered fat
guy, yeah, old fat guy.
Bobby: Two hours
forty minutes.
Fish still taking
line when he wants.
A 100,000-pound boat
rocking up and down.
Puts a lot of stress on
that hook, on that fish.
Brian: There he is.
Color.
I got color. I got color.
Bobby: Drew, take the sticks.
Drew: All right.
Brian: I can see him, bobby.
He's right here.
I think you're gonna
get a shot right here.
Drew: Yeah, yeah, I see him.
Brian: Here he comes, bobby.
Get his a*s.
Swivel's on the rod.
He's coming up.
His head's right here.
He's right there, bobby.
He's right next to the boat.
Get him! Hit him!
Bobby: What a slob, bro.
He's coming up.
His head's right here.
He's right there, bobby.
He's right next to the boat.
Get him. Hit him.
Drew: You got him, bobby.
Brian: What a slob, bro.
He's a [bleep] slob, bro.
He's a hundred-incher.
Brian: Get the tail gaff.
Bobby: The line just broke.
Oh!
There's no line on him!
Brian: Let me a tail rope.
Let me get a tail rope.
Drew:
Dart's out, dude! Dart's out!
Brian: I can't see.
Get that light.
Get that light.
Turn the lights on here, man.
You're gonna lose
this fish, bro!
You're gonna lose this fish!
Bobby: Get him on, drew!
You on?
Drew: Yeah!
Bobby: Tighten him up!
Tighten it up.
Drew: Yeah!
Cinch that [bleep] up.
Brian: Oh, my god, bro!
He's a slob, bro.
Bobby:
Yeah, boys!
We got him.
Brian: Woo!
Drew: Yeah!
Brian: [bleep]
we earned that one.
Drew: Yeah!
Brian: He fought
like a monster.
Definitely what
we needed to stay in
contention in this race.
Bobby: Yeah!
Brian: This is the fish
we've been waiting for.
Bobby: Yeah, boy!
Brian: Holy [bleep], bro.
Look how big this
[bleep] fish is.
Bobby: Thank god we have
more quota so we can catch
more fish like this and
climb to the top of the fleet.
All right, pull it tight
right there, brian.
Brian: Hold on, hold on. 107.
Bobby: Really, 107?
That's a big victory
for the boat, man. Woo!
Brian: Bugging out.
Bug mode. Reel e' bugging.
Drew: Fins up, baby.
Fins up.
Brian: Hey, we're going home!
We're going home tonight.
Marciano: We're pretty
much done on the troll.
Travis: Dude, we didn't mark
[bleep] since we got here.
Joe: I know that sucks.
Travis: Dispersed.
Either that or all
of them got caught.
Marciano: Well, for right
now we're tuna fishing.
What that means is
hurry up and wait.
Ain't marking a lot of
fish this whole trip.
Certainly not encouraged.
It's time like
these I ask myself,
what the hell
was I thinking?
But the fact that
of the matter is,
this is the life I've
chosen and I've got to take
the bad with the good.
Fishing is known
as a sport that
involves swearing,
sweating, and waiting.
And what we're doing
right now is waiting.
Travis: Da, da, da.
Eric: Think we're gonna
be able to fish in
this [bleep] tonight?
Yeah, I ain't trying to
stay out here all night,
but man, we got try.
I think we got a bait
rigged up don't we, john?
John-michael:
Still got to crank one
in and switch it out.
We finally got on top
of the fleet, man.
We're finally up there.
But once you get on top,
it's just as much stress
if not more to stay on top.
Move, chopper.
It's only gonna be good if
you get a couple fish ahead.
It'll give you a little
bit of leeway, you know.
But right now being
on top and the people
right behind us,
nipping at our heels,
we've got to keep
on pushing hard.
Eric: You got to
pull everything in.
John-michael:
Let's go and get it.
Marciano: We're marking 'em.
Let's hope we get a bite here.
[beeping]
get ready back there.
Joe: Yeah, that's right.
Travis: Getting bit.
Marciano: We're on!
Hooked up! Here we go.
Travis: Yeah.
Marciano: That's what
I'm talking about.
Travis: Not acting
tuna fish-like yet.
Marciano: There we go.
Travis: Go, keep going.
Go, go, go, go, go, go!
Eric: Keep chugging along.
We'll get our bite.
We're on! We're on!
We're on!
We're on! Move the rod.
Adam: You good, eric?
Eric: Go, go, go, go.
Adam: Are we good?
Eric: Yeah.
Is it in there?
Let's go.
[reel unspooling rapidly]
holy [bleep].
Holy [bleep].
He's burning me down, dude.
Hard.
Come on, baby!
Travis: Go, go, go, go!
Joe: Looks like the real deal.
Marciano: Well, we're
on something here.
There's only one way
to find out what it is
and that's reel it in.
Travis: Very well
could be a tuna fish.
It's really hard to tell.
He didn't make
a hellacious run like
tuna fish normally do.
But then again, he might
not know he's hooked yet.
Joe: Hope it's
a bluefin, guys.
Marciano: Let's
make some money.
Is that deep color?
Joe: Just got a
glimpse of him.
I see something.
That doesn't look
like a shark.
Here he comes.
Deep color out there.
Let's see what he is.
Eric: Come on, baby!
Adam: Better stay on that
rod because it ain't bending.
Leader!
Eric: Leader.
Adam: Get ready, john.
Eric: Thresher.
God darn it.
Pulled him up backwards.
Eric: [bleep] yeah.
John-michael: Get back.
He ran like a bluefin,
so, you know,
you get your mindset,
"okay. Yup.
It's a bluefin, you know."
so, when
that big thresher shark
does come up, you know,
it's very, it's very
frustrating.
Adam: Use the gaff
so I can dehook her.
John-michael: You
spent this time fighting for
something that you don't need
and we can't afford to do that.
Adam: Let's go!
Wasting time here.
Eric: Hook's out.
There he goes.
Joe: Here he comes.
Deep color out there.
Let's see what he is.
Travis: We got color.
Don't really quite
know what it is yet.
Looks like a bigeye tuna.
Joe: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Bigeye.
Travis: Yeah, bigeye for sure.
Marciano: It's
better than a sharp
stick in the eye,
but it's not what
we came here for.
I wish I could say this
bigeye is a big deal,
but it's really not.
We might make enough
money for a grocery
run, but not much else.
But we're not giving up yet.
We just got to stick
with it until we get
the right species.
I'll rig up some baits.
You guys switch
out those rods.
Tyler: There's nothing more
discouraging than watching
other guys make money and
catch fish and you're
falling behind.
It drives me freaking crazy.
Thank god we have more
quota to work with.
This is our chance
to catch up.
[beeping]
first marks of the day.
Nice mark.
We're into the herd now.
Come on!
Come on, come on.
Let's get a bite.
[reel unspooling rapidly]
we're on!
We're on!
Come on, merm!
We're on!
We're on! We're on! Merm!
Marissa:
I'm coming. I'm coming.
Tyler: Merm to the
back deck, come on!
Got 'em on.
Set right out in the mark.
Picked a good
spot this morning.
Let's not [bleep] around.
Come on.
Marissa: Yup. I'm on it.
Why do I have to wear these?
It's not even raining out.
Tyler:
Go to work. Go to work.
Yo, merm.
Most people won't go
fishing without it and you're
commercial with your brother.
Marissa: It doesn't matter.
This is as rain geared
out as I'm gonna get.
Good job, ty.
Finding the tunas
this morning.
I knew you could do it.
Tyler: Got our
a-game on today.
Marissa: This one seems
like it's a big one.
He's just trying to pull down.
Just waiting for him
to get tired and get
line when we can.
I'm gaining more line
than he's taking.
Tyler: Straight up and
down with a big boy.
Marissa: It's a fighter.
Come on, ty.
Big waves are coming.
Tyler: Get the line on.
Marissa: Here it comes.
Here it comes.
Watch out, ty! Watch out!
Woo! Woo!
Tyler: Wow.
Marissa: Woo!
I'm glad you made me
put my rain gear on.
Tyler: Pulling, big boy.
Sometimes with these
waves going up and down,
it puts a stress
on that hook in his
mouth because we're
pulling up and coming down.
So you just got to be a good
angler and stay on top of it.
Marissa: We're
getting close, ty.
Endgame right here.
It's coming up.
Tyler: Ready to
get on the rod.
Marissa: Okay.
Coming up.
Tyler: Hold him off,
hold him off,
hold him off, merm.
Marissa: He's coming up.
There he is.
Tyler: Get on the rod, merm.
Marissa: Get him!
Tyler: No, no, no, no!
Missed him!
Marissa: Holy crap!
You missed.
Tyler: Oh, my god.
Tyler: Get on the rod, merm.
Marissa: Get him!
Tyler: I missed him!
Marissa: Holy crap!
You missed.
Tyler: This is not good.
Marissa: We can't
lose this fish.
Come on, ty!
Get him, ty!
Tyler: Woo!
Marissa: Good job, ty.
Tyler: Woo-hoo!
Got him!
Marissa: Wow, we're getting
pretty good at this.
Tyler: Great job, merm.
Marissa: Good job, ty.
Tyler: Told you we just
need a little practice.
Now that the
quota's been extended,
it's definitely our chance
to show the rest of the fleet
what the pinwheel is made
of and get back on top.
Marissa: Whoa!
Tyler: Nice one! Down.
Marissa: Whoa!
Tyler: Woo!
This one looks like
our biggest fish of
this season so far.
Marissa: Look at the
stomach on this one.
Tyler: Super excited we
get more time to fish,
more time to compete.
I want to catch more fish.
100 inches.
Marissa: Woo!
Tyler: Beautiful, merm.
Let's head west.
Marissa: Woo,
100-incher, jumbo!
Bobby: What's
going on, dennis?
Dennis: Looks like you
got a stud there, bobby.
Bobby: It's a game
changer right here.
If we could have made it in
by midnight, we would have,
we would have turned around.
We just couldn't do it.
Dennis: All right.
Let's check him out.
Bobby: We're still riding
high from catching our biggest
bluefin tuna of the season.
I hope this fish
bumps us up a few notches
on that leaderboard and
ahead of the northern boats.
All right, rachel.
What's the bottom line?
Rachel: All right.
We got 449 pounds
dressed, bobby.
Drew: All right.
Bobby: Nice! Oh, wow.
Brian: Yeah, buddy.
Bobby: Good job, man.
Let's take a peek at him.
Dennis: It does have
a nice red tail color.
Hopefully, the core
is nice and red too.
The core is
really nice and that's
gonna help you a lot.
Bobby: Yeah.
Look at that
pretty core, man.
Dennis: You know, it's a
very, very nice red core.
Bobby: We need a
good price, dennis.
Bottom line, dennis.
Dennis: $23 a pound, guys.
Bobby: Bam! Oh, we'll
take that all day. Nice!
Brian: Yeah. Yeah.
Bobby: This is a good payday.
We're all so happy.
And now, we just got to
keep catching 100-inch fish.
Got 'em on the bedbug.
Marissa: We got him.
Dennis: Whoa, look at him!
Holy smokes.
Tyler: Nice one, right?
Dennis: Well, let's
see what you got.
Marissa: What do we have
for a weight, dennis?
Dennis: 506 pounds, merm.
Marissa: Wow,
that's a big one.
Tyler: Well, let's
check this thing out.
How we looking?
Dennis: Nice fatty here.
Tail color's not super
red, but I'm hoping the
core's still nice and red.
Tyler: Oh, very nice.
Nice core.
Marissa: What do you
think you can give us?
Dennis: That's a
pretty nice fish.
Fat, decent color.
$23 a pound.
Tyler: Let's go, merm! Woo!
Marissa: Nice!
Tyler: Thanks, dennis.
Marissa: Thank you, dennis.
Tyler: Appreciate it.
Dennis: Thanks, guys.
Tyler: Peace.
Dennis: Good luck.
Tyler: The weight,
the price, I'm stoked.
I mean, it might
not be enough to put
us back in first place,
but it's enough to make us
some cheddar and that's
what it's all about.
We got ourselves a race.
Tj: I heard
of a couple bites.
Maybe 30 boats out
here drifting around.
This is the part
of the season where the
exhaustion definitely
starts to settle in.
You know, right now, we
can't think about that.
We got our season
extended with 26 metric
tons more to catch.
This is our second
chance to catch more than
any boat in the fleet and
come out on top.
The southern boats better
watch out because we're
creeping up behind them.
Everyone's kind of
tired, you know.
Trying to do a night
thing and a day thing,
and stay up all night and
then have to be up
at 5:30 jigging the stick
and rigging ballyhoos.
[beeping]
marking 'em!
Marking 'em!
There's a good mark.
Oh my god.
They are definitely here.
[beeping]
[reel unspooling rapidly]
we're on!
We're on! We're on!
Come on.
Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo.
Wakey, wakey eggs and bakey.
Got 'em on in the dark, baby.
This bluefin could put us
ahead of the southern fleet.
We can't afford any mistakes.
We have to get this
fish on the deck.
Jarrett: Trying to
get some line back.
Definitely got
some weight to it.
Tj: Down and dirty, baby.
Mike: Fish took a lot of line.
Dumped the reel.
Jarrett's doing a good job.
He's got him coming up
and down right now, so just
got to be patient here.
Try to keep the fish
out of the tide and
get a harpoon on him.
Jarrett: Color.
Tj: Alright.
Walk him right to me.
Walk him right to me.
Come on.
Crank, crank, crank!
Jarrett, go, go, go!
Mike: Got him?
Tj: Got him.
Over here, bubby.
Come on! Come on!
Mike: I'm coming.
Tj: Get him! Get him!
Mike: Get the other gaff.
I got him.
He's done!
Game over!
I got him.
Jarrett: Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
Woo!
Mike: Yeah!
Tj: Plan worked out.
The pelicans are flying west,
sun's not even
up yet, baby. Woo!
This is our second
fish in two days,
which brings our total
to six fish for the season.
Mike: Perfect size.
Tj: And now that we've
got more quota available.
We're just gonna
keep catching.
I'm telling you,
this is our season.
Mike: Let's measure him out.
91-inch beauty.
Game over.
Tj: We'll take it, baby!
Good job, boys.
Jarrett: Nice work, guys.
Tj [over radio]:
I cranked her in.
Headed to the barn.
Good luck.
Steve: Damn, tj
got another one.
Son of a [bleep].
Reed: I do wish all
those guys would stay in
new England, you know.
I don't wanna take a
paycheck away from anyone,
but I'd rather see
our local boats that pay
taxes in their county
and live here year-round
supporting their families be
able to take advantage
of all 75 tons.
Steve: Sun just coming up.
Banks: Getting ready
to fire this guy out
and see what happens.
Reed: So we'll
just ride around.
Hopefully stumble
across a dumb one here.
I can't even remember
what day our last catch was,
but I know it's
been way too long.
We just can't seem to get
over top of the right tuna.
Look.
I'm marking 'em right there.
A little herd down there.
200 foot.
Southeast wind.
I never catch [bleep]
on a southeast wind.
Ever.
[beeping]
[reel unspooling rapidly]
steve: We're on!
Reed: All right,
keep him tight, baby.
Keep him tight.
Banks: We are on!
How about that?
Reed: We're on, baby!
Southeast!
Banks: How about that?
Reed: I love southeast.
Still taking line or what?
Banks: Yes. Yes.
Reed: Here, get
on your rod, dude.
We got that.
Banks: Get me
settled into my spot.
Reed: What, you want
me to get the rod?
Banks: Yeah.
Reed: I hope you got it
in the right position.
Banks: Yeah, straight on.
Reed: Okay. There you go.
Come on, baby!
Banks: All right,
he's getting upwind of us.
Reed: That's what we want.
Banks: My dog looking at me?
Reed: Yup.
Steve: All right.
Reed: Right there.
Everybody's got to
have a dog, I guess.
Works for pocket
rocket, tj, outlaw.
Guess what, boys?
We got ours.
He's kind of a mix.
He's not purebred.
Backing up.
Banks: Yeah, I noticed.
Reed: Who's this [bleep]
coming in here, outlaw?
Steve: It is the outlaw.
Reed: Is that that
[bleep] outlaw?
Steve: I think so.
He's got the flag up.
Reed: Oh, yeah,
he's hauled right in.
Right to us.
Come right to us.
Adam: There's the
kahuna over there.
Oh, they're tight definitely.
Oh! [bleep]!
Eric: A lot of
boats hooked up.
I think the hot
tuna's k*lled one.
The kahuna's hooked
up right beside us.
Very frustrating.
Adam: Other boats
are catching.
We're not and I'm mad as hell.
We may have seven
fish at this point,
but if we
don't keep catching,
we're gonna end up on
the bottom with the falcon,
so tensions are high.
Eric: Watch the rigger.
Adam: And when tensions get
high, things can escalate.
Eric: [bleep], dude.
Going in the rigger.
John-michael:
You're k*lling me!
You're k*lling me!
Hey!
Adam: Because you're not
[bleep] paying attention.
Eric: He's pulling it!
Got to do everything
I [bleep] can.
Adam: You pull it
under the rigger!
John-michael: I was trying!
Adam: Under the rigger!
John-michael:
You turned so damn sharp.
Adam: Under the rigger!
I know what the
[bleep] I'm doing!
Eric: He was trying
to pull it down!
John-michael: I was trying!
Adam: Under the rigger!
John-michael: You
turned so damn sharp.
Adam: Under the rigger.
I know what the
[bleep] I'm doing.
Eric: He was trying
to pull it down.
Adam: You pull it
under the rigger!
Eric: He was trying.
Adam: My bad.
All you got to do
is pull it down.
Eric: That's what we were
[bleep] trying to do.
Ain't no need [bleep] yelling.
Adam: How was it over it?
Reed: Come on, banks.
Outlaw boat's
circling us like a,
like a shark over there.
If we get lucky
enough to catch this
one, we could tie him.
I feel like we'd have him
on weight if we do that.
Banks: Feeling good.
Got him on.
Nice. Oh, yeah!
It does feel like a good one,
but we're in a
lot of tide right now,
so you never know.
Reed: Big swell.
Banks: Deep color.
Reed: Hold him right there.
Crank his a*s to me.
Work that head up.
Let me slide in
here beside you.
If he swings, we
might get a shot.
Got him!
Let's have it!
Let's have it!
Crank him up here, banks.
[bleep], get another gaff.
Get that tail.
Banks: Get the tail.
Reed: Come on, reach down
there and grab that [bleep].
Banks: Okay. I got him.
Reed: Pull that
[bleep] to me.
Come on, give it
everything you've got.
Banks: Got him?
Reed: Yes, sir. Woo-hoo!
Steve: Woo!
Banks: Woo!
Reed: Pretty work, boys.
Banks: Watch that drag.
Steve: Hell, yeah!
Reed: Take that, outlaw.
I dedicate this
fish to the d-o-g.
Banks: One, two, three.
You wanna do it?
Reed: 95. Good job.
Pretty work, boys.
Steve: Nice job.
Reed: Pretty work, d-o-g.
[barking]
banks: Woo!
We're on top, hopefully.
Hate to jinx it.
Reed: That's our new mascot.
Figured every boat has a
dog, so we'd better get one.
Especially the
boats that catch.
Dennis: All right,
let's see what you got.
Banks: This year
has been a battle.
We've been going neck and
neck with a few boats.
You know, this
means a lot to us.
Wanchese boys are
taking it home.
Reed: All right, dennis.
What's he weigh?
Dennis: 337 dressed, reed.
Reed: Pretty good.
Good work, boys.
Dennis: Let's see
how it grades out.
When I first cut it,
I thought the tail color
was a little light,
but it's really
come out here.
Reed: It is, look how nice.
Dennis: Nice heavy fat.
You can really feel how
oily the meat is there.
Let's see what the
core color looks like.
Reed: Let's check it out.
Not bad. Not bad.
Dennis: It's not.
No, it's much better
than the tail color.
You know, nice clarity.
Reed: All right,
waiting on you, dennis.
What are you thinking?
Dennis: $20 a pound.
Banks: Nice.
Reed: Pretty work, boys.
We'll take it.
Dennis: Well done.
Reed: All right.
Is that my dog?
Banks: Is that the d-o-g?
Reed: The d-o-g making
some noise on the bridge.
Steve: He's better
behaved than that.
Reed: All right, dennis.
Dennis: Very good, guys.
Thanks for the fish.
Reed: Put him in the tank.
Check you later.
Banks: Get back to it.
We'll see you.
Dennis: Be safe.
Steve: Thanks, dennis.
Reed: We were behind
the offshore outlaw,
but I don't think they've
caught anything lately.
We're really hoping that
this fish puts us back
at the top of the fleet.
Nice! Nice work, boys.
Banks: The d-o-g.
Reed: Hey, rasta rocket.
This is what a real
dog looks like.
Zack: Reed, he's not
gonna intimidate minnie.
Nobody intimidates minnie.
Tj: Back in the cheese town
with a nice bluefin package.
Hopefully it brings a
good price per pound and
we keep that trend going.
We bagged him, we tagged
him, I'm gonna sell him
to the buyer on the shore.
Mike: What's going on, dennis?
Dennis: Looks like you
have a good one there.
Mike: Yeah, nice size.
Dennis: Let's whip it out
and see what it's all about.
Tj: All right, bro.
We were struggling,
but if go out there
and you put in the time
and effort and you manage
just to stay
a little bit ahead,
and I think that's just
because of our perseverance.
We're definitely spending
more time out there
than we normally would,
but we know that, one,
we're not gonna win this
thing if we don't spend
our time out there.
And two, we're not gonna
get our piece of the pie
when this quota's all done,
so we just got
to keep it rolling.
What we got, den?
Dennis: 394-pounds
dressed, tj.
Jarrett: Nice.
Tj: That's a good one.
That's a doable size, right?
Dennis: Nice little fish.
Let's check it out.
Tj: All right. Cool.
Here we go.
Dennis: Another nice
little fish today.
Tj: Yeah, man.
Dennis: Not jammed up
with fat, but it's got
very nice tail color.
Tj: Yeah.
Dennis: If the core color
is nice, this is gonna
ring the bell for sure.
Tj: Excellent.
That's what we
wanna hear, den-den.
Dennis: If this fish
had some nice fat in it.
It would be a big,
big price with that core,
but it's just a little
bit on the lean side.
Tj: So what are you
thinking, I mean, size, core?
Dennis: $18 a pound.
Tj: Perfect. Perfect.
Thank you, dennis.
In the last two days,
we've made over $18,000.
I know northern
and southern boats are
running scared right now,
and they should because
this is our season.
Now that's pa-pow worthy.
Pa-pow!
Narrator: Hot tuna's
$18,000 two-fish haul
catapults the northern
boat into the lead.
While kahuna's bluefin
edges the local boat
ahead of fellow
southerners,
offshore outlaw
and rasta rocket.
Northern boat pinwheel's
eleven grand diamond
moves them
into fourth place,
while reel e' bugging's catch
isn't enough to make a
dent in their standings.
Tj: Right now,
we're the first place.
We know this thing is gonna
be a fight until the end.
And I know if
we just get out there
and do our thing,
we can stay there.
Man [over radio]:
Now here is the hazardous
weather outlook for
eastern north carolina.
After midnight, northeast
winds 20 to 30 knots.
Tyler: Wow.
Reed: With knowledge
of the conditions and
experience comes the knowhow
to know when to
push it and when not to.
Man [over radio]:
Seas 9 to 17 feet.
Reed: [bleep].
The northern boats truly
don't have that experience.
Man [over radio]:
A chance of showers.
Bobby:
No, we're good. We're good.
Adam: The southern
boats will fish harder
in worse weather...
Man [over radio]:
Gail force winds Monday night.
Adam: I mean, some
people just can't take it.
Man [over radio]:
North winds 25 to 35 knots.
Tj: Rough seas in the
outer banks don't compare
to rough seas up north.
Man [over radio]:
Seas 9 to 15 feet.
Tj: I can catch fish
in any sea condition.
Brian: Well, it's
rough as [bleep] today.
Bobby: Choppy seas, heavy fog.
Tyler: Woo!
Adam: Come on!
John-michael: Rogue wave!
[scream]
brian: It's the apocalypse.
Eric: The weather's
gonna get nasty soon.
