05x11 - Blood, Sweat and Tears

[bunniefuu]

NARRATOR: On this episode of
Wicked Tuna Outer Banks...

CLIFF: Pa-pow!

Oh, we're on,
we're on, we're on!

NARRATOR: The end of the
season is on the horizon.

TJ: This is it,
this is crunch time.

JACK: Time is of the essence.

NARRATOR: And
as the quota runs out...

BRITTON: We need a bluefin,
that's what we need.

NARRATOR: Tempers flare.

-Go ahead!
-Throw the dart!

TYLER: You know, I [bleep]
asked you twenty times. Ow!

DUFFY: Well,
[bleep] you, dude.

JACK: There they are,
right there.

NARRATOR: But when the
race is this tight...

GREG: If we don't catch a
fish, we're falling behind.

NARRATOR: Only one
thing's for certain.

JOE: We need a lot of luck
if we're gonna land this fish.

NARRATOR: You either
go full throttle...

CAINE: There he is,
there he is!

BRITTON: Got 'em on!

NARRATOR: Or get
left in the wake.

TYLER: Woo!

NARRATOR: This is...

TJ: Bump it up,
bump it, bump it!

NARRATOR: Wicked
Tuna Outer Banks.

TYLER: We just
lost everything.

NARRATOR: Southern boat Little
Shell is in first place for
the second time this season

with Northern rival
Hot Tuna and Southerner
Fishin' Frenzy close behind.

And a tough season for
Pinwheel has the Northern boat
struggling to stay afloat in

the middle of the pack.

TYLER: I will kick your a*s bro.
DUFFY: Let's go.
TYLER: I will kick your a*s.

DUFFY: Hey, hey, dude.

TYLER: Don't push me, man.
Don't push me.

DUFFY: Let's fight.
You want to kick my a*s?
Let's go, [bleep], yeah.

TYLER: Hey, get
your hands off of me.

-Let's go.

Please do not, please
do not touch my radio.

Please do not touch
anything on my boat,

please do not touch
anything on my boat.

DUFFY: [bleep] off of me, dude.

-Duffy and I came into the
season riding high after a
great season up north and

we're looking to do the
same thing down south.

But we're struggling
down here in the Outer Banks,
it's not going the way we want.

Oh! It just came off.

And Duffy just couldn't
hang, the season got to him.

So I'm asking you to
come out and go fishing.

If you don't wanna go fishing,
you wanna lay up in the bunk?

TYLER: And unfortunately,
it's all coming
to a head right now.

All day you have
not [bleep] session.

Do your job, bro, dude,
do your job.

DUFY: [bleep] you,
dude, [bleep] you!

TYLER: Duffy, just
get off the boat, man.

This time,
he's taking it too far.

-You want me to hit you, dude.
I'll [bleep] hit you.

-I asked you 20 times now.
Ow, you [bleep], [bleep].

You just [bleep]
whacked my head off that.

PRODUCER: It's time
to go, time to go.

You can't do that, man.

-Duffy's gotta leave.

There's no way I'm going
out fishing with him now.

Hey, your shoes
are behind you.

If this happened up north,
I'd go out by myself.

I wouldn't think twice
about it, but down here,

it's a whole
different scenario.

A lot of boats have sunk here.

The bridge, the bar, the
inlet, the treacherous waves.

Fishing by yourself down
here is extremely dangerous.

I'm just like sick to my
stomach weighing my options.

I might have just lost
my friend and mate and
my whole entire season.

Hey, you know anyone
that's free to fish today?

JACK: Another morning.

Another early morning,
but there's not many
days left because this

quota's about caught up.

Getting a bite,
that's all we need.

Go out there and get
one bite and come home,
that's all we can do.

BRITTON: We haven't
caught a fish on our last
few trips out and we only

have four fish right now.

With the quota 75% full,
you don't really know how many
days you have left to fish.

Every fish is vital.

CAINE: We're getting
close, ain't we?

JACK: Oh, not many days left.

BRITTON: At the beginning of
the season, Caine's dad, Bubba
got diagnosed with cancer.

My wife and I, we've been
there with our daughter, but
now it's time for Bubba to

have his battle and
it's gonna be tough.

It's gonna be tough on
the family, it's gonna
be tough on Caine,

but we know he can do it.

So we're having a benefit
for Bubba tomorrow.

Caine is overwhelmed
to say the least.

If we're catching fish, he
knows there's gonna be money
coming in and it's gonna be

that much less stress
and concern on his part.

All right, man, it's
quiet and there's probably
a couple guys fishing but I'm

gonna give us a
prayer here this morning.

BRITTON [over radio]:
Lord, we want to say thank you.

We lift up
Bubba this morning,

grant him the courage
and the strength and we
ask that you be with Caine.

And Lord we ask that you
watch out for us all as we
try to get all the parts and

pieces together to
put this fundraiser on.

We thank you for
the fishermen.

Keep them safe and bless us
with your creation, Amen.

MAN [over radio]:
Pretty work, Shackelford.

GREG: Thanks Shack,
let's all have a good day.

MAN [over radio]:
Thank you, Shack.
Let's get this party started.

TJ: Oh, my God. Oh, boy.

It sounds like
Tyler and Duffy got into
a scrap on the dock.

I don't think Tyler's fishing
today, which is amazing
because it's the end of the

season and they're docked.

At the end of the day,
I mean they are part of the
Northern fleet and we need

the Northern fleet
to represent you know.

It's the end of the season,
get your [bleep] together.

Just shut up and go fishing.

We're, we're out here doing
our best this year to make
a statement and to try and

finish the thing on top and
now that we're neck and neck
with two of these little

Southern boys, one being
Greg, who's a great fisherman,
and one being Greg's protégé,

who obviously knows
his program, it's a
pretty good feeling.

It's a total 180 from what we
had last year and this is it.

This is crunch time.

It's coming down to the wire.

It's anyone's to take, so
hopefully it's ours to take.

We'll see.
Today's the day, man.
Today's the day.

CLIFF: I hope we get one, man.

-We will.
-TJ's right on our heels.
-Bud, TJ's on fire.

We'll get ours.

-I hope so.
-I know so.

-I don't want, I don't
want to be beaten by any
of them Northern boats.

-I don't wanna be
beaten by anybody.
-I don't either.

NICK: We're in first place
right now and we worked
so hard to get here.

The Hot Tuna and
the Fishin' Frenzy
are right behind us.

And they got another thing
coming if they think we're
going down without a fight.

All right, it's a real big
slick here off our bow.

Real big slick here.

I'd love to get another
$15,000 giant for our families
and end this season on top.

CLIFF: There's some
big fish out here.

BRANDAN: Smell 'em?

CLIFF: Yeah, the slicks are...
We're getting the
slick right there.

There's a big slick.
Look at it.
It's still going.

Come on, baby!

Hopefully, we'll
get a fish today.

I mean Greg's there,
TJ's got the same,
he's on our heels.

TJ: Got to get
on the meat, man.

Just setting the rig out.
Just gonna fire it out.
Get some ballyhoos rigged up.

Try and find the meat.

We're right next
to the rocket ship boat
over there, the Frenzy.

We're right there neck and
neck with him, so it'd be nice
to hook up here first thing.

Get one next to him, get in.

MIKE: There's a
slick right here.

TJ: Another slick right there.

We wanna fish around this
slick because it means
there's fish in this area.

I'm just hoping that one of
them wants a ride back to
the dock on the Hot Tuna.

MIKE: It's game time.

We're just gonna finish
off the season with a bang.

We fished hard.

We fished almost every
single day and it shows.

NICK: Feeling pretty good
about it this morning.

Greg and TJ are right here.

[beeping]

Here we go, here's the meat!

-That's a good mark.
-Damned if it ain't.
-Yeah, that is a good mark.

-Oh! They're busting right here!
Right here off our bow.

BRANDAN: Make 'em talk.

Come on, babies!

TJ: We got fish on the screen.

Here they are,
we're in the meat.

Let's get a bite here.

NICK: Still coming,
here's the meat.

-She's fishing good, buddy.

-Come on, baby!

-They're going across
the slick right now.

-We're on, tail walking, baby!

Yeah, we're on, baby!

Just like that, woo!

TJ: Got 'em on!

-TJ's tight.

-I know, we'll get
one here, boys.

-He's still going?

-Yes sir, nice big one,
that was a sick hit.

-That looked like
a nice expl*si*n.

-Big one, yeah.

Shaking his head.
He's running, now he
knows he's hooked.

TJ: Sun's not even shining
but the tuna gods are shining
down on us right now, baby.

Woo!

Hopefully we stay
connected, baby.

The reel is turning and we're
trying to slow him down.

Let him go if he wants to go.

CLIFF: We're gonna
get us a bite here.

NICK: Yeah, ain't
gonna be long.

-There he goes, got him on!

-Got him on!

NICK: We're on here!

GREG: Are you kidding me?
Nick's hooked up now too.

Nick and TJ and
I are all tied.

Bottom line is, if we
don't catch a fish,
we're falling behind.

BILLON: It's
anybody's ballgame.

We'll see what happens.

MIKE: Get him, Jarrett.

TJ: It's a fishy day
today out here, man.

-Switch the line,
bump it, bump it, bump it!

-He's going down.

-Be careful with
this fish, man.

MIKE: This fish is
still very green.

He's a little dazed
and confused right now.

They fight different
when it's dark out.

So right now
it's in a transition and I
don't think he knows what

the hell's going on.

All he knows is he's got
a big hook in his mouth,
so just gonna get him up,

try to get a dart in him
and get him on board.

NICK: All right, cool.
Down and tight.
This is fishing, boys.

Got one, two, three, at least
five boats right here in a
little half mile area hooked up,

man, it like I said,
it ain't gonna take long.

This quota's gonna be done.

CLIFF: Old Gollywhopper, boys.

We need an old
Gollywhopper today.

MIKE: He's coming.

Shaking his head and he's
coming in pretty good.

JARRETT: He's circling a lot.

He's gonna come back out
and next time around I bet
you can get a shot at him.

Right here, right here.

TJ: I missed him.

JARRETT: He's gonna circle
two more times I bet.

TJ: I can't see, bro.
My hair is in my face.

JARRETT: Come on.
MIKE: Take your time.

TJ: He's going under the boat!
Bump it up, bump it up!

-Bump it!

TJ: Bump it up,
bump it up, bump it up!

-Good, good, good.

TJ: Get ready with the gaff.

-Yeah.

JARRETT: Bump it,
bump it, bump it.

TJ: Got him, got him!

Tail rope, nice
fish, nice fish.

-Come on, Jarrett, my right.
I got him good, come on.

Get him.

Number 10, baby!

TJ: Woo!

-We worked hard
for this one, guys.

That's a nice one, yeah.

-Yeah, woo!
-Yeah.
-That's a nice one, Bubby!

-Beauty, boys.
-Yeah.
-Good job.

-We were tied for first.
It's a huge fish for us.

Line was in the water
maybe what three minutes,

in, he's hanging on the back.

TJ: Oh, my God.

-Here comes your
number eight drop.

-Number eight, baby!

NICK: Oh, yeah.
I see him.

CLIFF: Oh,
I see him. I see him.

NICK: All right, he's
making a circle here, Cliff.

There you go, go ahead.
Go ahead.

All right, he'll come
around again, we're all right.

CLIFF: All right,
here he comes, B.

Get your dart.
Talk to me.

NICK: Keep going ahead,
keep going ahead, now you go.

Dart him, nice, nice.

Pull your dart back, snatch
it back, all right, tail rope.

Left side, left side of
me, can you have that?

CLIFF: Put the
boat in gear, B.

Ooh, we got it, woo,
yeah, baby, yeah!

BRANDAN: Yes, baby!

NICK: Give 'em
hell, Little Shell!

Happy, happy!

CLIFF: Woo, love it.

NICK: Well,
we're on the board.

Double digits, baby. Ten.

All right, ready?
One, two, three. Go!

-Fatty, bigger than I thought.
-Wow, that's a beautiful fish.
-Nice one.

-That's a lot bigger
than I thought it was.

-It is.
-Yeah.

TJ: Good job.

Sun's rising, bluefin
on deck, baby.

-87.

JARRETT: Oh!

NICK: 89-inches.

CLIFF: 89 inches, all right!

NICK: Yeah, baby,
happy to have him!

BRANDAN: Yeah, woo!

♪ I'm going home,
to the west! ♪♪

-Boom, baby, Pa-pow!

-Pa-pow!

GREG: We got to get
a bite around here.

Nick and TJ both
caught a fish.

That means there's fish here.

But it puts us further behind.

-Want to put some sausage on?
-Yeah, man, let's do it.
-Cooking a little breakfast.

-That might be what gets 'em.
You never know.

-Oh, that's tunas.
That's tunas out there.

See 'em?

-I thought he said
he saw some tuna.

GREG: Oh, bacon.
Yeah, baby!
That's what we need.

I'm gonna make sure
I'm out here every day, I
can be out here and try and

finish this season strong.

There's the meat right there.

Wow, there they are deep.

-Call 'em up.

Raise the demons
from the rock pile.

BILLON: There he is, got
'em on, boys, we got a bite!

-Okay.

-All we had to do was threaten
them with the breakfast.

-It was pretty quick.

-Watch your tip.
-Shaking a little bit.

-Well, maybe he's
tail-wrapped.

-Oh, I don't know, but it's
getting tighter with him now.

-All right, guys.
We need this one.

We really need this one
to move ahead of Nick.

-Nick who?

Is that the guy that left you?

The guy with
abandonment issues?

-Definitely, the
guy that quit.

-Yeah, Cousin Nick.

I'd say the swivel might
be right here in the water.

-Yeah, I think it's
gonna be pretty close.

BILLON: Though I saw it.

Under the boat, under the boat.
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
All right, go ahead.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

BILLON: Did we break him off?
GREG: Nah!

BILLON: Careful,
let's no lose him.

GREG: We really need this
one to move ahead of Nick.

-Under the boat.
Under the boat.
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

-Hold on. Go ahead!

Wait! Whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa!

Did we break him off?

-Nah!

I think he's just
up under the boat.

I can't see him.

-Let's get him up here.

There he is.

GREG: Just get a
tail gaff in him.

-Oh, Lord, please.

Hot damn.

All right, come to me.

GREG: Careful guys,
pay attention.

-Pretty work, pretty work.

GREG: We're gonna
make it an early day.

-Ready.
-Money in the bank, baby.

-That's what I'm
talking about.

Let's see what we got buddy.

GREG: What do you think?

-81, 81 more inches.

GREG: 81, we'll see
you in the morning.

BILLON: Time to cook
some sausage.
DIRTY: Sausage time.

NICK: Just pulling
into the harbor here
with our 10th fish.

BRANDAN: Everybody's
family is here.

How you doing, sweetie?

-Daddy.
-Hey, Gwynnie.
-What's up, basketball man?

-We got another nice
fish for you today.

-Let's check it out.

NICK: All right, buddy.

When a buyer grades our
fish, they're looking
for tons of fat,

a nice red color on the tail
cut, and a clear core sample.

Best crew on the East Coast.

If we're gonna get a
good price, the buyer has
to like what they see.

How much, Ms. Mary?

-301 pounds dressed, Nick.

-All right.
-Better than I thought, man.
-All right, yeah.

-Hopefully he's
a good one, man.
Let's check him out.

-Yeah, we need it.

The Hot Tuna and the Fishin'
Frenzy are right behind us,

they're looking to take
us out of first place.

Nice.

We need a high price
for this fish to make
sure that doesn't happen.

-Well, you got a
strong meat color here.

Nice sticky oily meat,
nice clear red core.

-We need a good price.
-Yeah, we need it.
-Come on, baby!

-I'm gonna pay you $16.

-All right, yes,
we need that, boys.

-We need it.
-This late, that's huge, yes!
-It is huge.

-Dennis, thank you very much.
Appreciate it, thank you.

-We'll see you tomorrow.
-See you guys tomorrow.
-Back out there.

-Dennis.
-Thanks, sir.

NICK: Give 'em hell,
Little Shell!

MARCIANO: Absolutely we are.

Yeah, okay, all right, so
let's, I'll call you on 80.

All right, so I guess
Tyler doesn't have Duffy,
so we're gonna be keeping

an eye on Tyler.

Gel, you wanna go
on Tyler's boat?

-No.
-You'll be Team Millennial.

TYLER: All right,
I got a good plan.

The good news is, you know,
I'm going out here today and
I got Dave fishing with me.

It's always frustrating
when other boats are getting
bites and you're not.

I've got to be out there.

You never know when
fishing's gonna end.

I'm just gonna idle.

I'll wait for you to
catch up to me, then
we'll run together.

If I'm gonna be out there
by myself, it's really good
to know that Marciano's

gonna be watching my back.

Basically, it's gonna be
like having him on the
boat and that's cool.

TJ: Here comes the Pinhead.

TYLER [over radio]:
Hey TJ, you pick me up?

Pretty work today,
you're on fire.

Way to represent
the North, dude.

TJ: Let me tell you something.

This morning
was as good as it gets,
it don't get any better.

Who's fishing with you?

TYLER: Ah, myself.

JARRETT: By himself?

TJ: Oh, my God.

TYLER: Yes, sir,
will do, buddy.

Put your gloves on get ready.

That's my former mentor
telling me I'm gonna get 'em.

TJ's not worried about me
going out there by myself.

He knows I know what to do.

TJ: I guess Tyler's headed
out right now by himself.

-Yeah.
-That was funny.
-Oh, my God.

JARRETT: Way to represent
the North though, buddy.

TJ: Oh, my God.

TYLER: Greg, I'm on the
other side of the bridge.

I'm gonna let you
come through here.

I'm gonna wait.

BILLON: Is that Tyler?

GREG: Yeah, just
keep her coming.

You got the tide behind you.

I'll sit right here.

TYLER: Okay Greg, coming
through the bridge.

This is what we
were all dreading.

I'm going out here by myself.

I got to be on my game,
so I got to be very careful
because it's definitely scary.

-Pinwheel's coming out.

-Yeah.

TYLER [over radio]:
All right, thanks a lot, Greg.

You're really gonna have your
work cut out for you, man.

The all-star from the North
is on his game this year.

GREG: Which one's that?

TYLER: TJ, my mentor.

-Woo, go get 'em, boys!
-Better hurry, big boy!
-Go get 'em!

TYLER [over radio]:
All right, we're gonna
go get one by ourselves,

see if we can't get it done.

GREG: Okay, good luck.

-Still a douchebag.

MIKE: Nice fish.

TJ: HT's got another one, boys.
Scotso!

-We heard you had a nice
round 90-incher for us.

-Oh, yeah, want to
get him up there?

-Yup, let's check it out.

DENNIS: Way to go, Frenzy.
On the meat again.

GREG: It's one more.
Chalk it up.
We'll put in on the board.

-Right on.

GREG: Let's get him off
here and see what we got.

-Come up.
Let's check it out.

TJ: Nice shape.

If we're gonna get an
edge on Little Shell
and Fishin' Frenzy,

we've got to get a high
price for this fish.

GREG: It's right here
at the end of the season
and every fish counts,

but you don't know what
you catch until you
put 'em on the dock.

What's our fish weigh?

-217 pounds dressed.

-What we got, Scotso?
-307 pounds dressed.

-Nice, perfect!

-Want to get a tail
steak, core sample?

-Yeah.

-Ah, let's see
what we got here.

-It's got some fat,
no doubt about it.

-Yeah.

-But there's something
funky about the meat.

It's got like this
gelatinous rubbery
kind of consistency,

but let's see what
the core looks like.

-Oh, boy.

-I'm gonna do the best
I can for you guys.

It's definitely some problems
in the inside of this fish.

I don't think I can pay you
more than $10 on this fish.

GREG: All right, well
I mean it's not what
we're looking for.

It's the end of
the season, but at least
we're not going backwards.

-Good luck, guys.
-All right.
-Thank you, you got it.

Mary, we'll see you tomorrow.

-Good luck, guys.
See you soon.

-How we looking, Scotso?

-Woo!

Honestly, guys,
best I've seen this
whole time being here.

Super greasy, great shape,
how about we check out the core?

TJ: Check it out, buddy.

Oh, yeah, ooh.

-Core looks really good.

-Nice and firm.

-Definitely a 10 out of a 10.

-I mean, really man,
what can you do for us?

This is definitely a diamond.

-Bottom line...

$28 a pound.

-Yeah.

[overlapping chatter]

-Wow, Scotty,
holy moly, dude!

-That is a diamond.

-Thanks, man,
see you, brother.

-All right, cool,
see you guys.

-Always a pleasure
seeing you, buddy.

-See you tomorrow.
-All right, see you later.

-This is the highest-priced
fish we've gotten this season
and this is exactly what we

needed to send a message
to the Southern fleet.

I think there's gonna
be some butt-hurt Southern
guys if we win this thing.

CAINE: Come on, baby!

BRITTON: We need
something to connect here.

CAINE: I, I saw a splash.

I don't know what it was.

JACK: Big splash, big splash.

BRITTON: At the end
of the season, you're
tired, worn-out.

Don't really know when
the season's gonna close
so there's a lot more,

a lot more external stressors.

With all that Caine has
going on with his dad, I know
Caine's feeling it right now.

-Just, just need a bite.
-There you go, look at that.

BRITTON: Look at that
humpback, humpback!

-Oh, yeah, jumping
and splashing!

-There he goes, boom, boom!

Look at that.

Golly dang, man,
that's awesome, man!

-Power there, buddy.
-There he goes, look at that.

-Oh, look at him.

-Oh, wow, right there, oh.

-He was all the way out!

-Come on.

CAINE: Oh, he was
all the way out!

Hey, look at that.

You know, we're struggling.

No fish on the boat,
but to see something like
this up close and personal,

that's what life's
all about, dude.

Live it.

-You see that?
-Awesome.

TYLER: Come on, come on!

I just wanna see
the bite, let's go.

I'm definitely feeling
like the tuna gods are
a little pissed at me.

I'm fishing with no mate.

I'm pretty far
behind the leaders.

It's really
rough weather and the
quota's running out fast.

[bleep] Let's get a bite.

But, there's nothing
I can do about it now.

I got to try and
salvage this day.

We gotta catch some fish here.

Come on, oh my,
there they are.

Nice mark, come on.

There he is, got 'em on!

Oh, busted it off!

[bleep], the fish
just snapped the line.

[bleep].

It's taking off
with all my gear.

[bleep] me running.

It just busted things off.

We just lost everything.

Got to run back up near
to the ball and hope the
fish is still on there.

Now, I got to try and
get this greenstick by myself
and get it back on the block.

All right, he's on there
though, fish is on there.

Where'd the ball go?

Oh, there it is.

I got to pull up to this
ball, gaff it and I've
got to reattach it to

the bandit reel.

This is a time when I'd
really like to have Duffy.

Oh, no, he's taking
the polyball down.

We're gonna lose everything.

Oh, no, oh.

We're gonna lose the bird,
the ball, all the drops,
the fish, everything.

MARCIANO: That might be
Pinwheel over there, isn't it?

Is that it?
I think it is.
What the [bleep]?

It looks like he's cruising
in circles over there.

What the hell is he doing?

You on there, Tyler?

Come in.

Pinwheel, you on there, Tyler?

-Is he out on the deck?

TYLER: Oh, my God!

Did that really
just happened to me?

Broke everything.

Took it all,
just took it all, oh.

We just lost everything.

Oh, we just lost everything.

Wow, that just happened
to us, didn't it?

We just lost everything.

We just lost the bird,
the ball, the tuna all
the hooks, all the drops.

We got to hope
this ball pops up.

Why?

It's got to be around here.

Please pop back up.

Oh, it popped up.

[bleep], yeah.

Hell yeah.

Oh, [bleep].

Whoo!

[bleep] you, I got your a*s.

I got the ball back,
I got the bird back.

I'm in a good situation here.

I think the fish is
still even on the line.

Yes, whoo, now I'm happy.

Finding that polyball in
these seas is a miracle.

And getting that gear
back allows me to fight
this fish and get myself

back in the game.

Cool thing about the bandit
reel is it takes up line.

I don't need a guy reeling,
so I can drive the boat.

But there's still
just a lot going on.

An extra set of hands would
go a long way right now.

I'm taking my time nice
and easy just trying
to get this fish.

Just tug of w*r right here.

Gonna be seeing
this fish soon.

Getting closer.

Oh, [bleep].

It's a nice fish.

Oh, yes, he's mine, whoo!

Thank God I got
him, nice big fish.

Whoo, so happy to have him.

Oh, this is where I
really miss Duffy.

This hook up went
from a total disaster
to a huge success.

Bam, got him in the boat!

I recovered my
gear, I got the fish,
and I did it by myself.



What a great day on the
water, 90-incher by myself.

OBX greenstick.

How about you, Falcon,
you on this one, Dave?

Standby.

MARCIANO: Yeah, go ahead.

TYLER [over radio]:
How you making out?

MARCIANO: We're not.

I don't know, seeing
a lot of marks, but
nothing's happening.

TYLER [over radio]:
We ended up, we ended
up with a 90-incher there.

Stick bite.

MARCIANO: All right,
good going there.

It's gonna be hard to do
with a full team over here.

I guess we'll keep
trying though.

TYLER: You're gonna
have 'em on in a minute.

You'll be yelling,
you'll have 'em on.

MARCIANO: Well, Tyler
made quick work of that.

We came out together.

We both got here about the
same time and he fished for an
hour and he's on his way home,

so hopefully it's
not over and we'll get a
shot before sundown here.

If we have to, we'll put
the bait out at night like we
have been catching our fish.

We just need a
little bit of luck.

TYLER: Whoo!
Pinwheel's hot.

-Need a hand down there?

-But yeah definitely
come down, help me out.

-All right,
let's check it out.

I kind of like this view
a little bit better.

-Right?
You got to come
catch a tuna with me.

-Oh, we got a nice one, guys.

-What are we
looking at, brother?

-324 pounds dressed.

-Bang!

Not bad for doing it solo.
Let's check this thing out.

-All right.

-That is a nice
beautiful bluefin.

-Yeah, it looks good.

Not a bad fish.

You could see
the fat in there.

-Oh, yeah.

-Yeah, very greasy fish.

-Give us the core sample.

This is the moment of truth.

Oh, I like that one.

-Definitely no burn in that.

-I worked hard for this.

I really need a good
price for this fish, man.

-Yeah, well, you
got a nice fish so, I
guess we can get you...

$21 a pound.

-Yes, awesome, Scotty,
thank you, man.

You just made my
whole day, dude.

After everything
I've been through.

Give me a hug.

Thanks, bro.

I'm gonna go see if I can a
couple more before it's over.

-All right.
-See you later, bye.

A $6,800 payday is exactly
the boost I needed after
all the drama with Duffy.

I can't wait to get back
out there and show the fleet
how it's done a second time.

Pinwheel, baby, yes!

JOE: Yeah, just getting
our baits ready here.

Supposedly last couple of
nights some guys got some
bites on these mackerels.

We put in a long day today,
we didn't get any bluefin,

you know, it
just wasn't our day.

So, we're gonna
give it a shot here.

This is what we do best
up North, and hopefully
we'll get lucky tonight.

-Something just
scared the squid.

JOE: Probably saw your face.

ANGELICA: Oh, [bleep] you.

MARCIANO: All right, Joe.

You got first watch while your
sister and I get some shuteye.

DIRTY: I'm ready
to get after it, man.

Nick and TJ,
they better watch out.

We don't retreat, we reload.

GREG: Pinwheel.

Is that Pinner?

-Yup.
-No way, it's Pinwheel.

GREG: That kid needs
a reality check.

Tyler caught a fish yesterday.

Good on him,
pretty work, but he's
tempting fate again today.

He's going out
there by himself.

All I can tell him is
he better be careful.

He better find a mate because
you never know where the
next danger is coming from.

You're dealing with big
fish, you're on the boat by
yourself, anything can happen.

You know, you can get wrapped
in the dart line it can
take you overboard and that's

exactly what happened
to our buddy, Bruce.

You know, he was
a great fisherman.

Caught plenty of
fish by himself.

It was just that one time
that something didn't go right
and he's not with us anymore.

Tyler's caught plenty
of fish by himself,

but one of these times
it's gonna catch up to him.

You can't keep a
crew on your boat, you
better find a new mate.

JOE: It's only a matter of time.
Come on, there he is!

[reel unspooling]

We're on, we're on, we're on!

Get up, get up, we're on!

-Okay, okay, okay!

Go forward, he's
going under the boat!

We're gonna lose him!

Ahead, ahead, okay, forward!

MARCIANO: 4:00 tuna.

Nice and easy and steady, Joe.

It'll come.

We know the fish got
under the boat, but there
is a little bit of line

damage we know that.

Here, Joe.

Switch with Gel a little.

Now that the line's been
weakened, we're gonna
have to be real careful.

One wrong move and
this fish is gone.

Attagirl, you're doing
great, you're doing good.

Yah, mule!

-Stop it.

JOE: We're down and tight,
but the line touched the hull,

so we can't give
him too much heat.

We need a lot of luck if
we're gonna land this fish.

MARCIANO: That's right.
Joe, get on the rod.
Switch it out.

Getting close now.

A couple more circles and
we're gonna see him I bet.

-Got deep color.
-Okay.

-There he is.
-All right, Gel come here.

Pack it, put that
in gear, okay?

Put both hands
on the throttle.

Push it forward a
little, neutral.

-Neutral?
-Yup, neutral, Gel.

-There he is.

-Ahead.

-Ahead, stick him!

-Just have the
gaff handy, Joe.

Okay, tail strap!

-Okay, here you go!

-All right, we got him!

Well done, Gel, well done!

We got him!

That was a tough one too.

Two, three.

JOE: Yeah, welcome aboard.

MARCIANO: All right, kids,
let's measure him up.

-94.
-That's a nice fish, guys.
-Yeah, what a beauty.

-Hell, he's a
perfect little fish.

-And look at this.

Oh, my God!

-Wow, holy [bleep], Joe.

-Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

MARCIANO: Joe, you should,
you should play the
lottery when we get home.

We got lucky getting
that fish...

JOE: We're lucky.

MARCIANO: But we got him
that's what's important.

BILLON: A little
foggy this morning.

Look, there's the sun,
but it looks like the moon.

-I know.

-Outer Banks weather
at its finest.

-We got Little Shell
right beside us.

It kind of looks like the
Black Pearl over there.

You can just see its flag.

GREG: I guarantee that
Nick and TJ think they've
thrown me off my game,

that's not the case.

It's the end of the season,
we're all neck and neck,
it makes you work that much

harder to catch one more
fish than the rest of 'em.

BILLON: Porpoise off
our side here, Skipper.

-Now they're gonna bite.

-I think bird's right here.
-Yeah.
-He's going right towards it.

They're right on the water.
Here we go, got 'em on,
got 'em on, Skipper!

GREG: Yay!

Yeah, baby, got 'em on!

BILLON: They're
right on the water.

There we go, got 'em on,
got 'em on, Skipper!

GREG: Yay!

Yeah baby, got 'em on.

Okay, you can go to the
other side if you're ready.

-Tag, you're it.

-Got one on here.

He's pulling this
pole down pretty good.

We're gonna take our time he's
taking a little bit of line.

-Coming along, baby.
We're doing just fine.

GREG: Head shaker.

-Get on this. He's coming.

-He's definitely a keeper the
way he's bending that rod.

-Yeah, baby, baby, baby!

Come on.

You know, if we were to get
this fish, hopefully it'll put
a nice firm hold on the lead.

That's kind of where
we like to stay.

Stay on top.

We don't wanna, we don't
wanna be on the bottom.

I only like being on the
bottom for one thing.

GREG: Go ahead and switch up.

-You're good? Leader.

-Come on, baby.

Got a swivel right
there, very close.

-Careful.

Let's not lose him here.

Right here.

All right, he's coming at us.

Go ahead, go ahead, go ahead!

All right, right there.

GREG: Come on, baby.

-Oh my God!

-Missed him, missed him!

-Dart throwing's off today.

GREG: Okay, now I got
him in a better spot.

-Stick him, there we go!

Getting tangled up here.

-Ah, dammit!

Am I around you,
what am I doing here?

-Oh, I can't tell.

GREG: You all wrapped up?

-Yes, sir.

-Yeah, he's twisted.

Oh, don't like that.

Oh [bleep], we're in trouble.

GREG: See if you
can get your gaff.

Let's get a gaff, Billon.
Get a gaff in him anywhere.

There you go, tail gaff.

Get the tail rope,
come on, boys!

-We got him!

GREG: Whoo.

-We got him, boys!

That's a nice fish,
that's a damn nice fish.

Whoo, back in the lead, baby.

You better watch out!

-Back in the lead.

GREG: I don't know if
he's a hundred-incher,
but he's a nice one.

NICK: The rich get rich
and the poor stay poor.

GREG: That looks like
money in the bank.

-Nice one, buddy.

-Nice one!

GREG: I think
he's gonna be six.

-Whoo.

GREG: Let's measure
this bad boy.

I don't know what
we're doing right or
what we're doing wrong,

but we're hot right now and
we're not changing anything.

-101, game over.

GREG: Just keep doing
what we're doing.

Happy to have it.

-You know, I'll
give her a big kiss.

Take her.

BILLON: I mean
I'd take her home.

TYLER: Well, Frenzy
already caught, damn it.

It's day two by myself
and all I've done is waste
time and money trying to find

the fish while all the
other boats are catching.

Things down here are
constantly changing.

Yesterday we, we were
catching fish 20 miles south
of where we're fishing today.

Just like that
everything's changed.

So, right when
you think you've got the
Outer Banks figured out,

overnight it changes on you.

TYLER [over radio]: This
is so lame, I'm super bored.

Got nothing going
on right now.

TJ: Sounds like Tyler's
in need of a mate.

TYLER: I don't know
about that one, maybe.

TJ: Oh, [bleep] you know,
you're rolling the dice,
that's sketchy stuff, man.

TYLER [over radio]:
I'll be fine.

TJ: You play with this
place, it's gonna turn
around and bite you.

JOE: Another one
for the Falcon.

-What's up?

-Tada!
-Perfect.

MARCIANO: It feels great to
be bringing a high-quality
fish back to the buyer.

I think Scotty's gonna
really like this one.

But with the quota
reaching its limit,

we've got to get a big
price for this fish if we're

gonna make
this whole venture to the
Outer Banks worthwhile.

All right, Scotty,
what's it look like?

-334 pounds dressed.
-Cool, cool.
-Well done, guys.

Let's see what he looks
like on the inside.

-What do you think, Scotty?

-You guys, it's a
really nice fish.

-That is a nice fish, right?

-There's a ton of
fat in this fish.

MARCIANO: Oh, yeah, right
it's a gorgeous fish.

As long as he's got a
good core we should be
in good shape, right?

-Yup, how about we check it
out, let's see what we got.

-Nice.
-Beautiful.

-Oh, tell me some good news.

-Bottom line,
get you guys...

$22 a pound.

-Nice.
-Oh, yeah.

-All right, big score,
big score.

-Good job, good job.
-That's our best price
so far this season.

-All right, cool.

-Thank you again my friend,
see you on the rebound.

-Bye.
-Bye guys.

MARCIANO: I'm definitely
hoping for a few more
fish like this before

it's all over.

I'm really proud
of you two kids.

ANGELICA: Thanks, dad.

GREG: The Falcon.

-Got another one?
-Yeah, man.

GREG: Some meat
coming in here today.

-Awesome, he
looks nice and girthy.

GREG: You know, TJ and
Nick are right there behind me,

if we get some more
big fish like this we're
gonna be in the chips.

Let's get him up there
and take a look at him.

Beautiful. Beautiful.
What do you got?

-442 pounds dressed, guys.
-Yes, sir.

-I like it,
cha-ching, cha-ching.

-Let's see how it grades out.
-All right.

-You guys got a
gorgeous fish today.

-That's a pretty fish.

-Here, I wanna take
a little taste and see
what this tastes like.

It's got that really yummy
like watermelon, you know,

it's like the
nice oily fish have.

If the core color is good
on this fish, it's gonna
light it up in Japan.

-See what we got here.

-Look at that.
-That's as good as it gets.
-Really nice red core.

-What's the bottom line?
-What we got?

-I'm gonna pay
you $20 a pound.

-I like that.

-All right, thanks
very much, Greg.

-Thank you.
-Fist bump, thank you.
-Thank you, thank you.

-Thanky, thanky.

DIRTY: Well, we can go
to Caine's fundraiser.

JACK: Time is of the essence.

There's just not
much time left.

CAINE: We got to put
our heads to the grindstone
and keep on grinding baby

that's what we do best.

BRITTON: It's
desperation time now.

We've got to catch a fish.

And with the quota
running out, the season
could be over any day now.

We've got to be home
for Bubba's fundraiser.

That's just a given.

I'm willing to try whatever
we need to in order
to get a bite right now.

-Bluefins, one of the things
we find in their stomach
is these bigger bluefish and

they start feeding on.

And we sewed one up and
we're gonna put him out there
and see if he gets a bite.

Here we go, see how he does.

CAINE: That look good.

-Yeah, he's swimming, boy.

-And I just want that
bluefish to get a bite so bad.

I'd be mighty proud if it did.

BRITTON: We need a bluefin,
that's what we need.

I got fish on
the screen, guys.

Here they are.

-Oh, [bleep].
There they are right there.

-Yeah.
-Where?

JACK: These whales in
here, something busted
in the middle of them.

There he is, there he is, oh.

-Got 'em on, got 'em on!

-Got 'em on, baby!

-Whoo!

-Got it on, baby.
-Got it on, baby.

-I thought that thing
would get a bite,
I thought it would.

-Man, that's pretty work, boy.

-This is a big fish here, bro.

JACK: Big bait, big
fish, big bait, big fish.

We got a game changer
on our hands here.

JACK: This is a
make or break fish.

We need this fish.

CAINE: This fish
right here is tired.

He's tiring out, Bubba.

She's gonna be a
big one, Britton.

JACK: The fish is
getting close now.

It's gonna be a
nice, nice fish.

-I can't see the line.
-Talk to Britton.
-Forward.

JACK: I got color, Britton.

That's right, he's
over here like that.

CAINE: Coming up fast.

Watch your dart, watch
your dart, watch your dart!

JACK: See him over here?

Talk to me!

BRITTON: Throw the dart!

CAINE: Missed him, get the
other one, get the other one.

BRITTON: Dude, where's
the tape that's holding
the dart head on?

JACK: I had it on there.

CAINE: Get on
there, get on there.

Get, get it, get.

Oh, use your dart, your dart!

That dart ain't secure!

BRITTON: Come on,
we need this one, man!

CAINE: Missed him, get the
other one, get the other one.

BRITTON: Dude, where's
the tape that's holding
the dart head on?

JACK: I had it on there.

CAINE: Get on
there, get on there.

Get, get it, get.

Oh, use your dart, your dart!

BRITTON: Come on, we
need this one, man!

CAINE: Pull it
tight, pull it tight.

JACK: I got it tight.

CAINE: Jab that [bleep],
hard as you can.

Now, now, now!

BRITTON: Golly dang, boy.

That dart come off
I was about sick.

JACK: Yeah, my bad
I checked it 10 times.

CAINE: Come now
Brit, come on, Brit.

You got it, you got it,
you got it, you got it.

Tail's right there,
get the rope.

Come on, baby.

Got him, whoo!

JACK: My God,
what a tuna, hey...

-This fish is so big
it might just make up for
the days we didn't catch.

JACK: Come on, heave.

BRITTON: And that means a lot.

Hey, let's do the measurement.

-Yeah, 104!
-Almost pushing 105.

-Pretty work,
boys, pretty work!

-Thank you, Jesus.

-That one there's for Bubba.

-Couldn't have come at a
better time, I'm telling you.

Whoo!

TYLER: It's a lot of
work without a mate.

I mean, Duffy definitely
sometimes he gets a
little carried away when

we're on land, you know,
but I'm just trying to
keep this boat fishing and

keep making it money.

No doubt about it when
Duffy and I are on the same
page we are unstoppable.

I can't ignore what
TJ had to say earlier.

I'm trying to salvage my
season and today did nothing
but add to the expenses.

It was a total waste.

TJ taught me a lot.

He definitely taught me a lot.

You always got
to give respect to the
guys that made you.

I know TJ and I
fight over the years,

but I'm getting older,

I can't be fighting
with everyone anymore.

I got to get along
with people, we got to
go to work together.

I don't know what I'm
gonna have to do to get
Duffy back on the boat.

But I know I need to.

Otherwise, it's game over.

I think we might have to
let Duffy just cool off.

CAINE: We needed
this one, cuz.

-What's up, guys?
-How's it going today?
-It's lovely.

-Looks like it.

-Just hang her up
and see what we got.

-All right.
-Let's go, what a fish.
-She's got some size to her.

-Yeah, I would say so.

-Yeah, I can't wait to see
what this one looks like.

-All right Micah,
moment of truth.

-It's the biggest
fish you've had
this year, 559 pounds.

Good job, fellas.
Way to go.

-Nice, boys.

-I think we need
to look at the cut.

-Let's look at it.

-Step into my office.
-We're following you.

-It's definitely
the largest fish you
guys have had this year.

And you can see that
there is some fat.

You look right here, there's
some marbled in here.

CAINE: We like marble.

MICAH: So that's awesome,
got some nice color.

If you can take a look in
the core that we've got today,
it was a nice good red and

it's clear meat as well, so.

-Just right.

-And so I'm thinking...

$25.

-Yeah.
-Come on!
-That is awesome.

-We needed that, guys.

BRITTON: Oh, man,
$14,000 for one fish.

Very, very relieved.

Now we can go focus on what
really matters, family.

Pretty work, boys.
I'm proud of you both.

NARRATOR: With two
lucrative catches, Fishin'
Frenzy is back on top.

While Hot Tuna's top
dollar fish just barely
places them ahead of

Southern rival, Little Shell.

And Doghouse's monster
catch pushes them ahead
of Northern competition,

Pinwheel and Falcon
despite both boats
pulling fish on deck.

BRITTON: We're here today
for a benefit for Caine
and his father, Bubba.

-Give me a hug.
-All right.

-Good.

BRITTON: His father got
diagnosed with colon cancer,
metastasized to his liver and

he got it on the fast track
and the community has showed
up in such a huge way for him.

It's awesome.

CAINE: It's pretty incredible.

JACK: I didn't know you
had so many friends, Caine.

BRITTON: And only in Wanchese.

It doesn't matter
whether you're really
close or you're not,

you're gonna do what you can.

I mean people are
bringing desserts and.

JACK: Smells mighty good.

BRITTON: Yeah, we can't
pick the time when things
are going to happen and

we're getting here towards
the end of the quota.

We need a fish,
he needs the fish.

But, family is more important.

He's part of the family.

I mean, I wish that
every family had people
like Caine in it.

-Dry your eyes, old boy.
-What's up, brother.

Thanks again, brother.

-Hey, no problem,
glad I could make it.

GREG: You know, you got the
whole town of Wanchese coming
out right here for a benefit.

TYLER: Hey man, I can't
believe you're going
through this, dude.

CAINE: Thanks for
coming, brother.

GREG: When it's a
friend of yours and it's
his family, you know,

you wanna do whatever
you can for him.

The fishing is secondary.

You know, we all fish,
we make a living.

But the bottom line is
it's your friends, it's your
family, it's your community.

And that's what you
got to look out for.

Here it is.

Support for a local fisherman.

Doesn't get any
better than that.

TYLER: Yeah.
