07x16 - No Time to Lose

Post by bunniefuu »

Jarrett: Here, fishy,
fishy, fishy, fishy.

Come on, baby.

Brandan: Got him on.
Got him on.

Narrator: It's crunch time....

Cliff: That's a tuna, boy! Whoa.

Narrator: For the tuna titans...

Tj: Down and tight, baby! Woo.

Brian: We got to
get this fish.

This could be the
last fish of the year.

Narrator: As the
clock ticks towards the
final days of the season.

Bobby: Our whole
season's on the line, literally.

Narrator: The pressure
is on in a fierce...

Nick: We're losing him!

Narrator: And relentless fight.

Brian: I'm gonna lose my mind
if we don't catch a fish today.

Greg: Left, left, left.
Hold up! Back up. Back up.

Marissa: Big tuna.

Narrator: Who can
go the distance?

Marissa: It's a tuna.

Narrator: As the
best of the best...

Brian: For the love of god.
Bobby: For the love of god!

Billon: Bring him to me.
Marissa: Oh. Woo!

Narrator: Battle
down to the wire...

Jarrett: Oh!

Narrator: This is...

Nick: Nail him, brandan.
Drill him!

Narrator:
Wicked tuna: Outer banks.

Bobby: The sun is
setting on our season.

Narrator: With just five
days left in the season,

Hot tuna and little shell
are in the middle of the pack.

While fishin' frenzy
trails behind the
pinwheel by a slim margin.

And for the third
time this season,

Perennial powerhouse
fv-tuna.Com is in the lead.

Dave: We should be fishing
right now and instead

We're waiting to get fuel.

This sucks.

Paul: There goes the pinwheel.

Tyler: What happened last
night, you couldn't get fuel?

Dave: No, they ran out.

Dave [over radio]: We
missed this whole morning.

We're low on fuel and we don't
have enough to go fishing.

Our regular place is sold out.

Other places are closed.

Every minute we sit here
waiting for fuel simply puts

Our lead in jeopardy.

This is very,
very frustrating.

Paul: There goes the
hot tuna right here.

Tj: Dot-com couldn't
get fuel last night,

So it's cost him a bunch of
hours this morning to get fuel

And I mean that definitely
works to our advantage,

But, you know, it's
still neck and neck.

Anyone could take this thing.

So, you know, any advantage we
can get is a good advantage.

Dave: We should have been on our
way in with a fish right now.

Sandro: This is a joke.

Dave:
How did they run out of fuel?

Tyler: It is a
battle on the top.

I mean,
everyone's catching fish.

We're neck and neck.

All right, merm.
What's the news from hot tuna?

Just got to find one way
to get ahead of these guys,

Hopefully put a
fish on the deck.

Marissa: Tj just talked
to nick and nick went out
at 2:00 in the morning.

He's got nothing so far.

Nick's gonna try
fishing closer to shore.

Tyler: We're definitely
gonna have to keep an
eye on the little shell.

They want to win, bad.

Marissa: Tj said that
he's heading for the 660.

Tyler: He's really
heading that way, huh?

I'll put in 618.
Time to go fishing.

Tj: The clock is ticking.

The quota's definitely
getting eaten up fast.

We got a couple days left.

Right now, out on
the blue screen,

A few scattered marks, but not
the herd mark we're looking for.

Time is running out and
the quota is so close to

Filling up that we need
another bluefin asap.

Another big bluefin with
quality could launch us to the

Top of the leaderboard and it
could be the end game for us.

Coming off our
win in gloucester,

To be the first northern boat
to actually take it down here,

Would be huge for us,
you know, back to back.

I mean what more
could I ask for?

You know, dave's always
the top boat up north.

Frenzy's always, you know,
big producer down here so

We wanna finish on top but
if we can beat those guys,

It is definitely
an achievement in itself.

Anyone could take this thing.

We want it bad.

Jarrett: Here fishy,
fishy, fishy, fishy.

Here fishy,
fishy, fishy, fishy.

Come on, baby!

Oh, they smell something.

Dude, they're busting
right in front of us.

[beeping].

Tj: There's a mark.
There's a mark 20 fathom.

Jarrett: Something just
busted right next to the boat.

Tj: We're marking.
We're marking.

Jarrett: We have to
make this happen.

Now it's crunch time.

[tension snaps].

Whoa. All right, we're on! Woo.

Tj: We just had
the breaker go.

Tj [over radio]: We're on, baby!
Greenstick!

Tyler: All right! Go get 'em.

Tyler [over radio]:
Good job, team.

Jarrett: Pow goes the breaker.

Down and tight, baby. Woo!

Dumping the bird,
dumping the bandit.

Good sized fish.

Tj: Feel like a bluefin?

Jarrett: Whatever it is,
it's got some weight to it.

Tj: We never can tell, so
you have to take your time.

[bleep] close.

Jarrett: He's heavy.

Tj: [bleep]. What the
[bleep] is it doing?

Jarrett: I don't know.
He's shaking his head.

Tj: He woke up now.

Jarrett: Yeah, he's awake.

Tj: There he is.
Jarrett: Throw it in.

Tj: He's coming here.
Jarrett: Bump it.

Tj: We're in the game, baby.
We're in the game.

Jarrett: Get a harpoon,
he's gonna come up.

Tj: Jarrett, get ready.

Jarrett: All right. Let me
get him up for a good shot.

There he is.
He's coming right here.

Tj: Got him.

Jarrett: Oh god, yeah.

Tj: All right, on my...

Jarrett: Whoa!
Tj: Come on!

Come on, gaff his a*s.

Yeah. All right, good.

Get the rope.

[bleep]

There he is.

Jarrett: Woo!

Tj: Yeah, buddy.
We're going west, baby!

Jarrett: Woo! Yeah.
Tj: Woo!

Sometimes, I like when
our plan comes together, man.

Jarrett: We needed
that one big time, buddy.

Tj: Greenstick fish, baby.

Who's nick the stick?
Nick the stick who?

Jarrett: It's a fatty.

Tj: The tuna gods
are on our side today.

Good?

Another bluefin helps us
catch up in this race.

Now we just got to pray that
this bluefin has some quality

Meat and we get a high
price and a big payday.

All right, let's measure him.

Jarrett: All right, buddy.
How long is it?

Tj: 99.
Jarrett: 99, man.

Tj: And it's a round one,
man, it's round, bro.

Jarrett: He's
sitting high off the deck.

Tj: Good job, brother.
Jarrett: Nice work, man.

Tj: All right, I'm gonna head
us to the west, all right?

Jarrett: All right, I'm
gonna start cleaning him up.

Tj: All right, buddy.

Let's get this
fish put away, bro.

We're gonna have a long
ride back to the west.

Tj [over radio]: We got another
big one. Stick bite, baby.

Tyler: Have a nice
flight to the west.

Greg: Oh, no.

Tj just caught one and we're
riding around in circles.

Can't get a bite. We suck.

Dammit.

Cliff: We're gonna get ours.

Brandan: We just
need one dumb fish.

Tj [over radio]: How about
the rasta rocket?

Tj: Is that you next to me?

Zack [over radio]:
Yeah, that's right.

Tj: Are you headed in, too?

Zack: No, we wish.

Tj: All right, pal. Good luck.
See you inside. You'll get 'em.

Zack: All right, man.

Tj: Pelicans are
flying to the west, baby.

We got a long ride back.

Jarrett: It's a race
to the finish line.

Dave: All right.
You guys ready?

Sandro: Let's rock and roll.
Times a wasting.

Dave: Time is wasted.

We should have a fish and
be on our way in right now.

Sandro: Well, we got plenty of
fuel and plenty of speed and

A nice day at that.

Dave: Hopefully this
is not a game changer.

Paul: We'll get him.

Dave: We were
finally able to fuel up.

Now we've got to get back
on top of the competition.

We need to catch a
bluefin asap or we're
gonna fall way behind.

Everybody's way ahead of us.

I know boats
have fish already,

But let's make it happen.

That's all I can say.

Paul: One good thing.
We got fuel.

Nick: We ain't got
very much quota left.

Brandan: Get this party started.
Cliff: It's down to the wire.

There's only a few more days
of fishing and maybe we'll get

Lucky and catch a fish.

Maybe we'll get one
jump us real early.

I'd really like
to win this thing.

Nick: This is our rubber worm.

A guy showed me this.

I don't know that's any
better than a ballyhoo,

But it gets bites.

Cliff: Let's see what it
looks like in the water.

Nick: We need to
get ahead of dot-com.

We cannot let them
win this season.

That guy is dangerous, but
this is my backyard and we got

A little bit of season left.

Cliff: That does
look good in the water.

Nick: I will not let a
gloucester boat win.

I'll die trying
before I let that happen.

Cliff: I ain't worried about it.
I'mma be ready for whatever.

Nick: Yeah. All right. Cool.

[beeping].

There you go.
Here's a mark.

Marking 'em right here.
Come on, baby.

Cliff: Come on,
fish, where you at?

[beeping].

Brandan: We're gonna
get a bite right here, boys.

[reel unspooling rapidly].

Got him on.
Got him on.

Cliff: Hey, got him on.
Got a bite. Got a bite.

All right. All right. All right.
We have a tuna, boys.

Nick: Got him on here,


Nick [over radio]:
She's tight. She's tight.

Greg: All right, good luck.

Maybe we'll see
you this evening.

We'll be passing you.

Nick: All right, boys.
I'm pumped up. Got him?

Cliff: Yeah. I got him.
I got him. I got him.

All right, bird's undone.

Nick: All right.

Go ahead and move
your bandit reel.

Got us a bite here. Rod bite.

We had our stick out,
but we got a bite on the rod

So you just never know.

Just got to take our
time and catch this fish.

Cliff: Yeah. I'm gonna try to
swing her around if I can.

[nick groans]

Nick: Shaking his head
an awful lot or something.

Or else he's just
coming up to give us a look.

Cliff: We got a bite, but
the fish is acting real funny.

Nick: All right.
Let's move the rod.

We're hooked up
to our 14th fish.

And that's great.

Help me out, brandan.
Help me out.

But now it's doing a
lot of weird stuff that
makes it unpredictable.

Go ahead and spin
it around, cliff.

When we don't know what
the fish is gonna do next,

There's no way to
anticipate what to do,

Which makes our risk of
losing it much higher.

I don't want to
put no drag on here.

I know he's tired.

Cliff: There's the pinwheel.

Pinwheel, he's
got 13, we got 13.

Right now we got our 14th
bite, he's still fishing.

Be nice to get one up on him.

Can't worry about
that right now.

Season's about to close and we
ain't got but a few days left.

Nick: Maybe he won't get one
and we can get a day up on him.

Acting funny now.

He's changing
directions or something.

Cliff: Where's the fish?
Where's the fish?

Nick: Bump her ahead.

Better go quick.
This fish is nuts.

Brandan: I don't think
this fish knows he's on.

Cliff: Oh, man.
Oh, my god.

Burning her down, cap!

Nick: We're losing him!

This is not good.

Cliff: Where's the fish?
Where's the fish?

Nick: Bump her head.

Better go quick.
This fish is nuts.

Brandan: I don't think
this fish knows he's on.

Cliff: Oh, man.
Oh, my god!

Burning her down, cap!

Nick: We're losing him!

Nick: This is not good.

Cliff: Good job, brandan.

Nick: Good job, b.

Cliff: This fish is coming up.

[cranking]

Nick: Keep coming, brandan.

I'll give you a break
if you want one.

Brandan: I think that
he'll be coming up, man.

This fish ain't
wanting to give it up...

Kind of mean.

Nick: Fighting for
his life and he knows it.

Brandan: Anything can
go wrong at this point,

But hopefully we'll get him.

Nick: Pressure's on now.

Like big old head
shakes, tail shakes.

Something, man.

There's your leader.

Coming around again.
There you go, good job.

I see him down there, brandan.

Cliff: There he is.
I see a fish.

Nick: He's circling.
He's already turning, cliff.
Don't do nothing.

Cliff: I ain't doing nothing.
Nick: Okay. Ooh. Keep coming.

All right,
get ready to get some.

Nail him, brandan!

Nice!

All right,
pull him up here now.

Head gaff him or anything.

All right, brandan.
Nice, boy.

Brandan: Okay. Got him.
I got him.

Cliff: All right.
Cleate it off.

All right! Yeah!

Brandan: That's ours, baby!

Nick: Yeah! Number 14.

Brandan: That's ours.
Yes, sir. Woo!

Nick: Fourteen!
Cliff: Good work, man.
Nick: All right, cap!

Good job, guys.

All right, let's get
this thing pointed home.

Brandan: We just got 14 fish
and we're getting ready,

Headed to the west.

Kind of what we do
because we're the best.

Nick: On that outrigger
that worked out for us.

Nick [over radio]:
That makes 14 for us.
14 for the little shell.

Greg: They're sacking me up.

We have to make it happen.

Tyler: Just got to find one
way to get ahead of these guys.

Hopefully the tuna gods will
shine down on the wheel once

Again and let us finally
bring the championship back

To the gloucester.

Nick: Every fish
counts at this point.

Every fish is huge.

That wasn't easy,
but all that matters is we

Got another one
and dot-com doesn't.

Big damn fish, boys.
Bigger than I thought.

We've had some
good fish and we've had
some not so good fish,

But we need this one to
read a really high price right

Here at the end of the
season to push us ahead of

Those northern guys.

All right.

Cliff: Number 14 in the boat.

Stoked.

Nick: Let's see how big he is.

Brandan: All right.
Nick: Ready?

Brandan: 90.

Cliff: 90-incher, boys.
All right!

Nick: Good job, boys.
Damn good job.

♪ ♪

Cliff: We got to win.

Nick: Scotty,
here we are again.

Fourteen, buddy.

Scott: It's crazy.

Got a couple more days so
you guys gonna have to come

Back in with a couple more.

Nick: All right.
Let's take a look at him.

What do we got, scotty?

Scott: 370 pounds.
Nick: Nice.
Scott: Absolutely.

Nick: Let's take a look at it.
Scott: Let's check it out.

Nick: When we bring
a fish to the buyer,

They're looking for
three main things.

A lot of fat,
a bright red color,

And a translucent core.

If the fish has
all those things,

We're gonna get a good price.

And we need it badly.

It's gonna push us in the
right direction towards victory.

Scott: Well, you guys, it
doesn't have a lot of fat in it.

Decent color.

Nick: Yeah.

Scott: Only problem I'm really
seeing with the fish is kind

Of have a dark to the toro.

Pretty bad spot to get it in.

Hopefully this
core is all right.

There's no burn in that.
That's clear.

Nick: Good. What's that
translate to in dollar wise?

Scott: This fish is gonna be...



Nick: Well, hoping
for a little bit more,

But we got you one.

Thank you very much.

Scott: Yeah.
All right. Thank you.

Cliff: All right, scott.
Scott: All right, you guys.

Hopefully we'll
see you tomorrow.

Brandan: See you, scott.
Scott: See you later.

Nick: We just landed
our 14th fish.

It's a race to the finish.

The season's gonna close
so we're gonna fish until

We get another one
or until it's over.

Little shell's gonna win this
thing or we're gonna die trying.

Mary: Hot tuna.
Tj: What's shaking, mary?

Mary: Wow, you've been
on the meat, haven't you?

Tj: Well, we'd love to
beat dot-com and frenzy.

Those guys are two
big competitors.

Mary: Well,
I'm looking to give a
big price to a good fish.

Tj: Wanna get him up there?

Mary: Love to.
Tj: Let's do it.
Mary: Can't wait to see it.

Tj: We need a great
price for this fish.

Looks like a good one to me.

We only have five days left.

So the higher the price,
the better our chances are

Winning this thing.

What we got, mary?

Mary: 501-pounds
dressed, fellas.

Tj: Perfect.

Another one of those tomorrow
and we'll be in good shape.

Let's get him checked out.

What we got, mary?

Mary: It's got a good color.

Tj: Sweet.

Mary: Nice and bright.
Little bit of fat here.

Tj: Let's check that core out.

Mary: Let's check the core out.

Good core.

Tj: Beautiful core.
Nice and translucent.

Mary: Yeah.
Really, really nice core.

Tj: Well, we're coming to
the end so big prices are huge

To us right now, no doubt.

Mary: If you're gonna have
a huge price on this one,

We'd need some more
fat here in the majors.

Tj: Okay.
With what you're seeing,
what are you thinking?

Mary: $15 a pound.

Tj: Hey!
Jarrett: There you go.
Tj: Beautiful.

Mary: Yeah.
I'll take another one
tomorrow maybe bigger.

Tj: Gonna head right back out.
Mary: Okay. Take care, guys.
Tj: Thanks, mary. See ya.

Jarrett: Have a good night.
Tj: Yeah.

We knew coming into
this competition,

It was gonna be very
fierce and it has been.

But it's not over yet.

We got a couple days left.
Try and get it done
a couple more times.

Greg: Trying to catch a fish.

A nighttime tuna.

It's the end of the season.

We're gonna make every
minute out here count and

We're gonna spend all the
time out here we need to.

Catch a couple more.

I wish we had another
two weeks to fish,

But coming right
down to the wire.

Billon: Huh?

Dirty: Like we're on
some island somewhere.

Woo. I knew I bought
this for something.

Damn.

Fresh cilantro
never hurt nobody.

Greg: Our biggest
threat is dot-com,

And he's back on the water.

If dot-com wins, we're not
living up to our reputation.

So we've got to
catch a bluefin now.

On top of that, we need more
bluefin to catch up to the

Little shell and the
hot tuna and have any chance

Of winning at all.

We got to stay
ahead of dot-com.

[beeping]

Oh, my goodness.
There's one's streaking up.

Dirty: That'd be about, right,
we're about ready to eat.

Greg: Oh, come on, baby.
Make it happen.

[reel unspooling rapidly]

Dirty: Oh. Big rod.

We're on! Get it!
Get it! Get it! Get it!

Got him on.

We need this one.

Oh, lord. Woo-hoo.

Down tight.

Greg:
Just keep her going ahead.

Come back to the left.

Left, left, left,
left, left, left, left.

Hold up, back up,
back up, back up!

Just keep going back,
she'll come around.

Bump her ahead
hard left rudder.

Dirty: Get up on top.

Greg: Make sure your
rudders' going first.

Oh.

Greg: He got it.

Oh, he gotta,
he's not, he's not.

Jog lever is the only
way I can steer from the c*ck

So I've got no steerage.

Greg: You've got
to be kidding me.

We could easily pull
a hook or break a line.

Game over.

This could potentially
cost us a fish.

Dirty: Not really
sure what the bite is,

But it's hauling us down,
it's acting like what we want.

Greg: Now she's not working.

[bleep].

Dirty: Was it not responding?

Greg: No, not at all.

Greg: Now she's not working.

[bleep].

Dirty: Was it not responding?

Greg: No, not at all.
Dirty: Oh, baby, please.

Greg: Let me know when
it comes tight again.

Dirty: Yeah.

Greg: Crazy. I'm just
trying to get ahead of him.

Dirty: Yeah.

Greg: I don't believe
this damn autopilot.

I just got the thing fixed.

Dirty: All right. Slowing down.
He's coming to a stop.

Dirty: What a
crazy game we play.

Greg:
My steering in the c*ck
has been giving us problems.

All right, fellas,
I'm coming down.

But all I know
is it works now.

Let's hope it keeps working
for a little while longer.

We need to focus on the
fish we've got on the line.

I'm not sure.

It might be a bluefin,
but we don't know yet.

Dirty: Starting to have a
little bit of a down angle now.

Greg: Oh, come on.
Please be the right thing.

Dirty: I hope so.

Greg: I mean, at
night you don't know.

Could be a big thresher,
it could be a tuna.

Billon: Stay with him here.

Hopefully we can find a
way to find out what it is.

Greg: We might be okay.

Dirty: Almost there.
I see it. Gonna be a tuna.

Billon: It's a tuna.

Greg: Crazy fish.
Won't settle down.
He's all over the place.

Dirty: Crazy.
Greg: Fish is nuts.
Dirty: Go ahead a little bit.

Swimming towards the rudder.

Greg: He's acting
like a really big fish.

Dirty: Real deal.

All right.
He's right there on top.

Greg: Come on, baby.
Come on, baby.

Billon: I see him right here.
He's on top.

Dirty: He's just
out of the light.

Come to the light.

Billon: Bring him to me.

[line snap]

Greg: Oh, son of a [bleep].

Dammit.
We pull him off?

Dirty: Yep.

Greg: Oh, man.

This is a huge disappointment,

[deep sigh]

But I can't let
it bring us down.

We're staying out here.

Hopefully we get another
bite before dot-com.

Oh, we pulled
the [bleep] hook.

Greg [over radio]: Right
there 10 feet from the swivel.

Dammit.

Nick: I think frenzy is ready
to get a fish and go home.

Cliff: You know,
I hate it for him,

But this is a competition and
we need to catch as many fish

As we can, as quick as we can.

Billon:
Feels like he was hooked
down the hatch a little bit.

Chafe up there a little ways.

Greg: Wow, that sucks.
So damn close, too.

We're running out of time.

Sometimes you need to
stay out here a little longer

Than you want to.

Bobby: Tick tock, tick tock.

The sun is setting
on our season, bro.

Brian: We're
in a good spot, man.

Time to get a bite here.

Bobby: Feels like
it's gonna happen.

One good paycheck
today will pay the bills.

I mean, this will make
it all worthwhile.

If it's the right fish,

We can finish the season
not having lost everything,

You know, a lot of money.

Coming off of last year
where we finished on top,

I had big expectations.

I'm seriously disappointed
that we didn't get further

Ahead this time around,

But we still
have bills to pay.

We need another bluefin
just to survive at this point.

We need to get paid.

I got birds working up ahead.

"slicky" right here, man.

Brian: We need a bite, bro.
We need a bite.

Bobby: Oh, what the hell
is that, a porpoise?

Brian: Oh, you smell him?
I smell him right there.

Bobby: Let's sink these baits.

Brian: I'm gonna
lose my mind, bro,
if we don't catch a fish today.

We need a bite, man.
We got to get a bite here.

Look at that herd.
Look at that herd.

Eight fish, nine now.

Greg: Well, that must be
thick bedbugs out in the water.

Nick?

Nick [over radio]: Go ahead.

Greg: Bedbugs has got 'em on.

Now you know we're washed up.

Greg [over radio]:
We've been reduced to covering
bedbugs fighting a fish.

Nick [over radio]:
Pretty low on the totem pole.

Greg: I know.

Nick [over radio]:
It's all right.

He's only been out
here since Tuesday.

Nick:
Can you believe that [bleep]?

Greg [over radio]: I do.

Nick: [bleep].

Greg: We got to get a bite.

Bobby: There you go.

Bobby: Screamer!

Bobby: Wow. It's a screamer.
Gonna be a big fish.

Brian: That's everything
we just got on him and

He just took it all back.

Bobby: Screamer!

Bobby: Wow. It's a screamer.
Gonna be a big fish.

Brian: That's everything
we just got on him and

He just took it all back.

[reel unspooling]

Bobby: Crazy.

Brian: That's everything
I just got back.

He just, he just took.

We're really far out here.

Let's start going
back a little bit.

He's just been playing
the whole time.

Bobby: Make or break our
whole season right here.

One the line, literally.

Brian: Jumbotron, bro.
There's no doubt.

Bobby: Nice fish.
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah.
Look at that, drew.

He's gonna get in
line now trust me.

Brian: He's doing
some weird [bleep] now.

Bobby: That goes down
for a little bit but then

He comes up top.

Brian: Yeah,
I don't like that.

Bobby: He didn't like that.

Brian: You got
mono back, bobby.

Bobby: Awesome.

Brian: Coming up, bro.
He's coming right up.

Bobby: Nice. He's coming up.

Brian: He's changing
his attitude.

You should be able
to see him real soon.

Deep color. Deep color.

There he is.

Bobby: Where?

Brian: Here he comes.

Swivel's on. Bump him.

Bobby:
One more loop, I'll get him.

Brian: Swivel's on the reel.

Bobby: I got him, bro.

Brian: Jumbo, bro!

Bobby: Oh, bro. Tail's up.

Cinch it down.

Yeah! Hey! Bam! Oh, yeah.

Brian: We had a real
slow start to the season,

But right now this ain't
about the competition,

This is about money and
paychecks and paying bills.

Bobby: Jumbo model, we
had a nice fish, dude.

A real nice fish.
Thank god. Thank god.

Greg: Thank god today.
Pretty work.

Zack: Bobby got 'em.
Daniel: Yup.

Tyler: Bobby bedbugs just
got a big one right there,

So we know there's
big fish around.

Nick: Oh, I just need a bite.

Bobby: Fat one, dude.
Pull him right in.

The clock is ticking on this
season but the reel e' bugging

Has another paycheck.

Go.

I mean, we needed this fish.

This is just another bluefin
that proves that we belong

With the best of the best.

Drew: Yeah, man.

Brian: Let's see what we got.

Bobby: All right, go ahead.

Brian: 102.

Drew: Yeah, baby. Come on.

Bobby: 102, give us a hug.

Oh, man. That's a good one.

Brian: Yeah, we'll take it.

Bobby: So excited, man.

Very, very grateful to have
this fish and we're gonna pray

That we get a good price.

Mary: Hey.
Drew: Hey.

Bobby: Right now, we're
just trying to turn a paycheck.

We're operating
in the red, bad.

Like no one's gotten paid.

Literally this is the one
that could make it all okay.

Mary: Let's get it up here.

Bobby: Let's see
what he looks like, mare.

Good. Yup. Straight up.

Brian: He's a nice fish, dude.

Mary: Watch your leg.

Bobby: Mary,
the moment of truth.

What's she dress out at?

Mary: 480-pounds
dressed, boys.

Bobby: Yeah.
Brian: Yeah.
Drew: All right.

Mary: It's a little
chubby fish, so.

Bobby: Let's hope he pays us.

Mary: Okay,
I hope it does, too.

Bobby: Well,
let's go take a look.

Mary: How about that, guys?
Bobby: Oh, that's pretty.
Drew: Yeah.

Mary: Good fat, nice fish.

Let me see what the
core looks like.

Hoping for some
cherry color there.

All right. It's perfect.
That's just what I wanted.

Bobby: Oh, there, yeah.

Oh, yeah.
Pow, that's perfect.

Mary: Very good. A lovely fish.

Bobby: Whatever you can do,
you know, your best price.

What do you think?

Mary: I'm thinking...

$17 a pound.

Bobby: Nice. Nice.
We'll take it. All day.

That works. Thanks, mare.

Brian: Let's get out of here.

Bobby: So I'm gonna come
down here and compete
against the best.

I wanna show up and put
my best foot forward.

I want the glory,
the guts, and the cash.

I mean, I want it all.

But that's just
not the real world.

At the end of the day,

We're fishing
against great guys.

Really good fishermen.

Brian: All right, all right.

Tyler: Today is
gonna be the day.
We got to catch a tuna.

Marissa: It's a battle.


Some bait, but no marks.

Tyler: The quota's
getting full and it's
gonna be game over.

A couple people
already caught fish.

Got to beat these guys.

Set out the baits.
Standard pinwheel spread.

We got our one deep.
We got our two long riggers.

This is what's been
working for us all season.

We're just gonna keep doing it.

I'm confident with the spread.
Merm and I got it dialed in.

It's getting close
to the end here,

And I'm feeling the heat.

We only have four days left.

All right. Let me,
what you got going on?

Marissa: No marks.

Tyler: I just wanna be the
first northern boat to have

Victory down here.

I've come in second
a bunch of times.

I've been so close.

I really feel like I can
compete with these guys just

As good as they can
in their own backyard.

What do we got,
dot-com behind us?

Marissa: Yup, he's behind us.

Dot-com's back on the hunt.

Tyler: How's everything look?

Marissa: Perfect.
Beautiful bait.

[beeping]

Tyler: Oh, here they are.
Here they are, merm.

Here they are. Get ready.
Right there, there's the mark.

Here they are.
Here they are, merm.

This is what we want.

Marissa: All right, I'm ready.

Tyler: Coming up on the meat.

Marissa: Come on, tunas.

Tyler: I just really
wanna catch a tuna today.

Marissa: I'm ready.

Tyler: Let's go. Be ready.

Be looking alive.

Marissa: I am alive.

Tyler: We're on!

Marissa: Hooked up!

Tyler: We're on. We're on.

Marissa: Good job, team.

Tyler: Clear the rods.
Clear the rods.

Marissa: Down and tight.

We're on. Whoo!

Tyler: We're on, baby.

We came out, plan's
working good so far, merm.

Woo! Yeah, baby!

Marissa: Bring the pain.

Tyler: Bring the
pain from maine.

Taking line.
We're taking line.

A nice one on.
Got to get him.
All right, merm.

We got some reeling to do.

Tight. Hooked up.



Greg: Tyler's fishy.
He's always fishy.

We can't even get a bite.

Cliff: Dammit.

Nick: Tyler has a bite.
Oh, I'm nervous, bud.

Paul: What are
you seeing, sandro?

Sandro: A lot of...

[makes squishing sound]

Paul: Me, too. I'm seeing...

[makes squishing sound]

Dave: He doesn't know
what he has on though.

Paul: We're gonna get a bite.

Marissa: Big tuna.

There's a lot of line out.

Tyler: Let me do some
winding for a little bit.

Marissa: Down and tight.

Tyler: Bump it forward.

Thing took a lot of
line off the bite.

This fish is
finally going down.

It's harder when
they stay on top.

That's when we're most
likely to break the line.

We cannot lose this fish
because the quota's gonna

Close in four days.

But at the end of the day,
I catch tuna in gloucester,

I catch tuna down in carolina
that's why I'm a threat

To the rest of the boats and
that's why they're shaking

In their boots.

Neutral.

Here, go.

Got to get this fish.

Whoo. Good job, merm.

You're kicking butt.

Marissa: Mean out here today.

At this point,
it's back and forth.

Tyler: Get that
fish down, merm.

Let's get it right
in front of dot-com.

Tyler [over radio]:
You see her out there?

She's got that rod
bent right over.

Look at her go.

Dave: Marissa's going
to town over there.

Sandro: We need to
go to town over here.

Dave: Yeah, we do.

Tyler [over radio]: Woo!

Marissa: Whoa, he's up top.

Tyler: Oh, great.

He's gonna change
directions on top.

Wind, merm, wind.

Marissa: This fish
won't settle down.

He's mad.

Tyler: Careful.

Marissa: He's crazy.

I'm really worried right now.

Tyler: Do we still have him?
Marissa: Did we lose him?

Whoa, he's up top.

Tyler: Oh, great.

He's gonna change
directions on top.

Wind, merm, wind.

Marissa:
Fish won't settle down.

Tyler: Careful.

Marissa: I'm really
worried right now.

Tyler: Do we still have him?

Marissa: Did we lose him?

Tyler: Just get him right out.

He's on right there.

Marissa: Thank you.

Tyler: Good job, merm.
Keep reeling, merm.

Come on, merm.

Marissa: We've gained
a lot of line back.

Tyler: You're doing great.

He's definitely
probably tired now.

Marissa: Rasta rocket.

Tyler: Minnie!

Zack: Pinwheel,
they got 'em on.

Merm's on the back.

We're big on keeping positive.

It can happen at any time.
We've proved that.

We know how to catch 'em.

Let's try to catch
us another one.

Tyler: Come on, merm.
We got to get him.

Marissa: He's coming up.
He's here.

Tyler: Here, let me
in for a minute.

Big fish. Got to get him.

Finally got him to go down.

Time's running out, merm.

Marissa: We can't
lose this one.

Tyler: Touch it forward.

I got tuna right here.
I got tuna right here.

I got tuna.

Marissa: Yeah, you do.

Tyler: Get ready
to get on the rod.

Marissa: I'm ready.

He's going over
here on the side.

Tyler: On the rod, merm.
On the rod.

One more, swivel out.

Easy. Reel. Keep reeling.

Marissa: Hit the tuna.

Tyler: Got him.
Marissa: Great shot.

Tyler: Tail gaff. Tail wrap.

A tuna. We got him.

Whoo! Yeah!

This is awesome.

It's exactly what we needed.

Another big bluefin
to get us ahead.

Marissa: Woo-hoo.
Nice sized tuna.

Tyler: Whoo. We're tied
with little shell now.

That means if the quota
fills up before either
of us get another one,

It's important
we get a high price for

This fish to get us ahead.

Thanks for playing.

It's really a wonderful thing.

We got a nice big
beautiful fish here.

Nick: b*stard. Oh, boy.

Not the best day
for the little shell.

Dave: Come on, let's go.

Sandro: Oh, we got
to catch one today.

Dave: I hope so.
Not much time left.

Tyler: All right.
Get the tape.

Hundred incher, merm. Whoo.

Catching bigger fish
than little shell.

Doing great.

Marissa: Yes, we are.

This is a jumbo
beautiful tuna.

Tyler: That's a
good-looking fish, merm.

Great job.

We're still in this.
We just need to finish strong.

♪ ♪

Marissa: Big pinwheel tuna.

Whoo. Hi, mary.

Mary: Hey, guys.
Tyler: What up?

Mary: Man, you guys
are on the meat.

Tyler: Trying to stay on it.

The only way to win is to
catch fish every single day

And I'm just trying to be
smart and stay consistent.

Mary: I don't
know what you're doing
but keep doing exactly that.

Tyler: Awesome.
Let's get this off so we
can get back out there.

Mary: Sounds good.

Tyler: How about it, mary?
What's it dress out at?

Mary:


Tyler: Wow, merm.
Almost a 500 dresser.

Nice fish for the outer banks.

Mary: I'm excited to
take a look and see what

The tail looks like.

Look at that.

It's got a beautiful color.

You do see some fat here,
in the, in the minors.

I wouldn't call it loaded but
it definitely has some nice,

Yeah, nice fat.

And it has a nice
translucent look to the meat.

I'm sure your core is
gonna be beautiful as well.

Bright cherry red.

Tyler: Well, what can you do?

Mary: $15 a pound.

Tyler: Bam. Awesome.
Marissa: We'll take it.

Tyler: Perfect, we'll
definitely take that all day.

Mary: It's really.
It's nice. I love it.

Tyler: And the weight,
it's perfect.

Thanks so much, mary.

Marissa: Thank you, mary.

Mary: And we'll see
you back here tomorrow.
Same time.

Tyler: Turn and burn. Later.

Marissa: Bye.

Tyler: I'm so happy with the
price we got for this fish.

If we can catch a couple more
fish like this last one before

The game's over,
we're gonna win this thing.

Four days is all we have left,

So we've got to
get another fish asap.

We're ready to
start another day.

Just got to keep on grinding.

Greg: Finish on a good note.

Billon: We are on scene.

Sounds like we're
in the right place.

I just hope it's the right time.

Dirty: Sounds like a lot of
guys are dropping a bait right

Now and getting a bite.

So standing by the rod
in case we do get a bite.

Greg: Go ahead and throw
three or four of 'em here.

Dirty: All right.

Greg: I wanna beat the
dot-com because he's the top

Boat in gloucester.

I'm the top boat down here.

It's our showdown.

Dot-com still hasn't gotten
a fish, but neither have we.

My autopilot jog lever is
working just fine right now,

So we're in good shape
to catch another fish.

Our days on the water
are running out.

Billon: Oh, we got mammals.

Greg: That's what
I like to see.

Oh, my goodness.

There's some fish here, cap.

Holy [bleep], about three or
four of them on the screen.

Marking the hell out of them.

Billon: That's perfect.

[beeping]

[reel unspooling rapidly

Dirty: Down rod. Down rod.

Greg: There he is. Down rod.

Billon: There he is.
Dirty: There he is.

Greg: How about
that, we got a bite.

Sandro: They're hooked up.

Dave: I don't, I don't
see anything now.

Paul: It would be nice if
some nice things would happen.

Dirty: We're on!
Billon: Feels like a fish.
Dirty: Whoo. Screamer.

We hooked a banshee.
Let's see what happens.

Feel a little there.

Billon: I hope
it will hold on.

Greg: Crazy.
Look at that thing.

Squirrelly fish tonight.

Way up on top.

That's bad enough
during the day.

It's really tough at night
when they get up top like that.

You can't see where they are.

You can't follow the line.

Billon: Whoo. Being kind
of sporadic right now.

He's not really
settled down yet, you know.

He's kind of going
all over the place.

Hopefully this will be the
one we can bring aboard tonight.

Greg: He's still taking it?
Dirty: Yeah.

Greg: Fish got a lot
of line out right now.

We got boats around us.

He's pulling that way.

He's just taking
the boat with him.

He's just never gotten down.

The fish is acting
kind of crazy.

Hell, he could be tail wrapped,
stuff like that.

We got to put this one
on deck first though.

Where is this guy going?

Billon: Just cut
right in front of us.

Greg: He's not
paying any attention.

He doesn't know what I'm doing.

I mean this could be our
last fish of the season here.

Dirty: Here he comes.

Greg: Careful.
We don't wanna lose this one.

Greg: Watch him!

He doesn't know what I'm doing.

I mean this could be our
last fish of the season here.

Dirty: Here he comes.

Greg: Careful.
We don't wanna lose this one.

Watch him.

I don't think the guy
knows what he's doing at all.

Dude, he's gonna turn.

There he goes.
He's gonna come around.

Crazy.

Dirty: Gaining now.

Billon: I swear I see
him up there on top.

Greg: Still staying up on top.

Dirty: He is.
Coming at me right now.

Starting to swim
towards the boat.

Swimming to the left.
I can see it.

Billon: Come on, baby.
Dirty: There he is.
Greg: Ooh, he's coming up.

Dirty: Here we go.
Coming up right here, billon.

Come to the light, baby.

Right here.

Billon: Got him.
Greg: Nice.

Dirty: All right.
Good shot on him.

Nice fish, good shot.
What side? What side?

Greg: To the right.
Dirty: Huh?

Greg: To the right
on the stern.

Dirty: I got you.
All right, he's ours.

Greg: Thank you,
thank you, thank you.

Whoo. Whoo.

Game over. Done deal.

Pretty work, gentlemen.
Pretty work, pretty work.

Dirty: Thank you, sir.

Billon:
Momma, I'm coming home.

Greg [over radio]:
Frenzy got another one.

Headed west.

Dave: Fishin' frenzy caught one.

Where did they go, man?

This is not looking good.

Billon: Frenzy's got
our groove back, baby.

Greg: Yup.
This is just what we needed.

This fish could put us
back on top before the quota

Fills up and the season's over.

If this is a high quality
fish and we get a good price,

We're well on our way to
winning another season.

Let's see what we got.



Dirty: Bird in the hand, baby.

Greg: Coming right
down to the wire here.

End the season on a high note.

Whoo.

Billon: We need big money here.

Dirty: No.

Mary: So how was
it out there, guys?

Dirty: Great.

Greg: Hey,
we got another fish.

I don't want the yankee
boats ahead of me this year.

Mary: All right. Well,
let's hope this is a diamond.

Greg: I hope so.
Let's see what we got here.

Mary: Okay.

Greg: The quota's
gonna close in three days.

We're thankful for this fish
because it could be our last.

I'm hoping we get a high price
for this fish to keep us ahead

Of the little shell and
the gloucester boats.

What's he weigh?

Mary: You got


Greg: Good.
That's what we need now.

Mary: It's a fish we can
sell in a lot of places.

Greg: Perfect.

Dirty: This size
fish can go anywhere. Yeah.

Greg: Let's
take a look at him.

See what we got here.

Dirty: What you got for us?

Mary: It's got a little fat.

It's got some
nice sticky meat.

Greg: Great color, yeah.

Mary: Let me take a
look at this core.

Dirty: Yeah, I'm excited.

Ooh.

Greg: Look at the fat.
Mary: Uh-hmm.
Dirty: Yeah.

It looks like they
just came in there, like,

They haven't fattened up yet.

Mary: Uh-hmm.
It does look like that.

You can see it's starting
to spread here into the major

Lobes from the minor lobes.

I like this fish a lot, guys.

Greg: What do you got
for us on this one?

Mary: $19 a pound.

Greg: You know what?
End of the season.

We'll take everything
we can get, man.

Absolutely.

Dirty: We're gonna
take that, man. Yeah.

Greg: Okay, thank you.
Mary: All right. Thank you.

Greg: All right.
We're on a roll now.

Mary: Take care, guys.

Dirty: We'll see you.
Greg: All right. Thank you.

We've had a good run
here the last few fish.

We've had some
nice quality fish.

But we're not done till
we weigh that last tuna.

Anyone can win this thing.

We're gonna make every
minute count out here.

Coming right down to the wire.

Narrator: With a high
price for a quality bluefin,

Fishin' frenzy pulls
into the lead and pinwheel

Remains on the
heels of the top spot.

Meanwhile, little shell
pulls into third and the

Hot tuna remains
behind the top three.

With no catch in the
final days of the season,

Dot-com falls from
first to fifth.

Billon: Make it count, baby.
Feels like a winner.

Dirty: Fish on.

Greg: There's only two
days before it's over.

The fishin' frenzy has always
been one of the top boats

In the outer banks.

Four out of five years
we've won the competition and

We're not ready
to back down now.

Dave: We're on. We're on.

Paul: Oh, baby!

Dave: I know greg's in first.

You know, this
is his home turf.

I'm not from here but
we could still beat him.

We've got a lot of
work ahead of us.

We only have two days to win,

But down here
in the outer banks,

Anything is possible.

Bobby: This season, we're
not where we wanna be.

It's frustrating
being near the bottom.

We just have to find
a way, shake it off.

Brian: We got
the right bite here.

Bobby: We're gonna
give it 200%.

Zack: The fat lady hasn't
sung on the rasta rocket.

The boat is small
but we're mighty.

We're gonna do everything we
can to catch another bluefin.

Tj: I'm definitely
feeling the pressure.

The hot tuna is doing
everything we can this year to

Try to be the first northern
boat to take this thing.

We know we can be that top boat.

Nick: Hang on!

I feel like I can
overtake these northern boats.

Little shell is the
best in the fleet.

Nick: We only have two days.
Anybody can get a good start.

It's a good finish that
makes you a champion.

Tyler: It's all or nothing.

These are the
best of the best.

Dot-com, little shell,
the hot tuna, fishin' frenzy.

Everybody has the
potential to be number one.

We got to do whatever
it takes to win.

Jarrett: We're on!
Tj: Down and tight, baby.

Bobby: Look at the rods.

Tyler: We are
running out of time.

Greg: We got to
get us a big one.

Tj: Woo! End of the season.

Nick: All right, boys.
I'm pumped up.
