Bobby: Go, go, go, go, go!
Narrator: On this episode
of wicked tuna outer banks.
Zack: Woo! Rasta rocket!
Narrator: The youngest
captain in the fleet...
Zack: Good to go.
Narrator: Struggles
to stake his claim.
Zack: Dang, shane!
Daniel: You got to go.
There ain't no in between.
Narrator: While fishing
veterans are pushed outside
their comfort zones...
Marciano: The outer
banks curse continues.
Narrator: Can a
new generation of
fishermen rise to the top?
Zack: We got you in
our sights now.
Zack: Woo!
Narrator: Or
will the old guard...
Banks: Hold on.
Reed: Hold on.
Joe: Aah!
Narrator: Defend its legacy?
Tj: Pa-pow!
Brian: Hooked up, baby.
Narrator: In an epic battle...
Reed: Please let
us get this one.
Narrator: To be the best...
Eric: Hold on. Hold on.
Narrator: On wicked tuna...
Eric: Let's go.
Narrator: Outer banks.
Shane: A lot of people
didn't think we could
come out here and do this,
and we're proving 'em wrong.
Narrator: Northern
brother-sister duo
pinwheel holds a
narrow lead over the fleet.
While veteran
fisherman kahuna,
young boat rasta rocket
and reel e' bugging
linger near the
bottom of the pack.
Facing down a gap of
nearly $50,000 between
them and the top spot,
northern legend falcon
continues to struggle.
Zack: Let's check
our baits, boys.
Checking to make sure
we ain't got no grass.
Zack: You can't catch
'em with no bait.
The rasta rocket came
out the gate swinging.
But right now we
got a few boats ahead of us.
And being the youngest
guys on the water,
we got a lot to prove.
This isn't a game for us.
We're not out here
playing make-believe.
We're bona fide
commercial fishermen and
we're gonna prove it.
Shane: Some marks.
Marks, right there.
Daniel: Come on, baby.
[beeping]
[reel unspooling rapidly]
all right!
Fish on, baby!
Daniel: Go, go, go!
Zack: Hell yeah, dude!
Daniel: Forward, forward,
forward, forward!
Zack: Heck yeah, boys.
Daniel: Got 'em on.
Down and tight.
Zack: Down and tight.
Daniel: Oh, yeah.
Zack: Well, right now we
got him down and tight.
And fighting for his life.
You keep tight, daniel.
Daniel: Get ready to bump it.
Zack: Get the harpoon!
Daniel: Bump it.
Zack: Dang, shane!
Come on, dude!
Daniel: Hurry up, man.
Zack: Come on, we
can't lose this one.
Yeah! Hell yeah!
I've got the gaff.
Shane: Throw something,
rope's right behind you, zach.
Zack: Hurry up.
Daniel: Cinch her down.
Zack: Woo! Aw! Yeah. Woo!
Daniel: Oh, yeah.
Shane: I'll admit right now
I'm the best harpoon thrower.
In my brain, I'm like,
"you can do it,
you can do it."
and then the other
times my brain's like,
"oh, just tell
zack to come get her.
Let minnie throw
it at this point."
minnie would've probably
got it the first time.
It worked out in the end
after a lot of commotion.
Daniel: I'm gonna start
telling you to throw it when
he's like 100 yards away so
you can get that one
out your system, just.
Daniel: Oh, yeah.
97 and a half.
Zack: Dang, he's bigger
than I thought he was.
This fish is a beast.
He definitely could
put us back on top.
This is gonna remind the
fleet that the boys on the
little boat are here to play.
Daniel: Uh-huh.
Steve: Rasta caught a jumbo.
How'd that happen?
Reed: Dumb luck.
Rasta rocket did it again.
Just not that lucky.
That's the problem.
You know, the only
thing we can say is
that boat is slippery.
It's quiet, it's small and
the fish seem to like it.
Steve: Falcon
definitely didn't get one.
We know that.
Reed: Yeah. We're
definitely gonna beat him.
That [bleep] doesn't
have a chance.
Banks: Right?
Tj: Jarrett, look over here.
The falcon's trolling.
Jarrett: Oh, my god.
Tj: He's actually trolling.
Jarrett: It's actually,
it's happening, huh?
Tj: Something must be
in the air this morning.
Dave on the falcon
just despises trolling.
I think dave is just
really set in his ways and
he wants to fish the way we
fish up north all the time.
That's fine and good and he's
proven that works down here.
But there are times
when these fish are up on the
surface and you need to troll,
or you're just gonna
sit around and watch
everyone else catch.
Holy!
Wow. What a rare occurrence.
Joe: We're ready to
send the stick up.
Marciano: All right.
Try and get it out.
Everybody who's had it out,
it's been going down as
fast as they get it up.
Joe: We'll try and get
it up right now then.
Marciano: The falcon may be
dead last in the competition,
but we are not giving up.
My biggest problem is
I'm set in my ways.
I've been fishing with bait
my entire adult career.
And I'll admit, I'm a
stubborn son of a g*n.
But down here, it's essential
to learn this trolling game.
That's why I've
got travis aboard.
To teach this salty old
dog some new tricks.
Joe: Toss her overboard, cap.
Travis: All right.
Joe: You got it?
Travis: Yeah.
Joe: Anchor's away.
Hopefully I tied
it right this time.
Travis: When you're
going down sea like this,
joe, loosen up
on the stick line,
it gets the squids
popping more.
Let me show you.
Now it's fishing.
We're on!
Marciano: We're on?
Joe: We're on!
Travis: Got 'em on!
Marciano: Holy [bleep].
We're on!
Travis: Woo! All right.
Joe: Just like that?
Travis:
Just like that.
Just like that.
Marciano: Good going, boys.
Good going.
Travis: You got that, dave?
Marciano: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Travis: All right.
Marciano: Just go nice
and easy with him.
Travis: Got 'em going.
Travis: Hey, hey.
Just like that.
Marciano: We got a
bite on the stick here.
Feel like he's there, boys?
Joe: I think it just broke.
Marciano: What?
Travis: What, we pull him off?
Marciano: It looks nothing.
Travis: I don't know.
It's hard to tell.
Marciano: We got
nothing, right?
Travis: Don't seem very taught,
I don't know.
Marciano: There
ain't nothing there.
Joe: I don't think there's
any fish on there, honestly.
Travis: Pulled him off.
Marciano: Ugh.
I don't know what
the [bleep] happened.
This trolling crap is
getting old already and
it's making me get older
by the second.
Joe: We're just trying
to get the gear back out.
We don't know what happened.
No fish on the deck,
so we're back fishing.
Got it?
Travis: Yeah.
Marciano: I hate this place.
Bill: Couldn't even fit her
all the way in the boat, huh?
Zack: That's right.
Big one. Big boy.
Bill: Nice.
Let's get her on up.
Zack: All right, man.
Let's see what we got.
Shane:
We're all feeling real
good about this right now.
Us being the youngest
crew in the fleet,
a lot of people
didn't think we could come out
here and do this, be
successful, and we're just,
we're proving them wrong.
Age is just a
number in the end.
Bill: Phew!
Zack: What we got, man?
Bill: 486 pounds.
Zack: That's a fat one. Yeah.
Daniel: That's a nice fish.
Bill: Let's see what
she's like on the inside.
Shane: The buyer's
looking for a cherry red
color and tons of fat.
That's what will get
us a high triple p.
Price per pound.
Bill: All right, guys.
Look at the fat in her.
Heaps of it.
All the way into the majors.
Greasy too.
Good color and everything.
Zack: How about that core?
What you think on the core?
Bill: Man, jeez.
The core is awesome.
Excellent color.
Translucent all
the way through.
Good oil in it.
Definitely your
best fish so far.
Zack: What you thinking, man?
It's k*lling me.
You keep talking it up.
That's sounding good.
Bill: I'm telling you, man.
I'm thinking...
$33 a pound.
Zack: God dang! Woo!
Daniel: That's what
I'm talking about.
Zack: 33 bucks a pound is the
highest price of the season.
Not just for us,
but the entire fleet.
Bill: Get on out there
and be safe, guys.
Zack: Let's go, dude.
Bill: Later.
Zack: So that's gonna
send a shockwave to the
ogs in the competition.
Zack: Might be pushing
us up the leaderboard.
Tyler: Setting out.
It's always good when you're
setting out in the morning.
Hopefully today's our day.
Hopefully we can
find some fish.
Marissa: All righty.
Here we go.
Tyler: All right. All right.
See what happens here.
I know from experience
that nothing is more
dangerous in a fleet than a
bunch young guys looking
to prove themselves.
Not too long ago,
I was the kid giving
the fleet trouble.
So like, yeah, I know if I
wanna hold on to my top spot,
I'm gonna have to shake
these kids off my tail.
Marissa: No. I did not
hear anything on the radio.
Drew: Pretty morning, bobby.
Bobby: This is critical right
now that we turn the corner.
I mean, not only
did rasta rocket got a
huge fish and they got a
top-dollar fish.
That is a game-changer.
The reality of how quickly
this can get away from you
is starting to settle in.
We have to make
it happen right now.
Brian: North carolina, baby.
Man, it's excellent
fishing, dude.
Bobby: Oh, yeah.
[beeping]
hey, a lot of marks.
Crazy marks, dude.
Look on the screen, bro!
Everywhere.
[beeping]
marissa: We have a mark.
Um, we have a good mark there.
Huge wolf pack.
Tyler: There's a
herd down there.
Marissa: Perfect timing.
Bobby: Dude! Lit up!
Look at the [bleep]
raman noodles!
Drew: Smells fishy.
Smells fishy.
Tyler: On the mark!
We're on the mark!
It's the mother lode.
[beeping]
[reel unspooling rapidly]
drew: Fish on!
Bobby: Fish on!
It's a screamer!
Tyler: Double!
Yes! Two, baby!
Let's goooooo!
Tyler: We're on!
We're on! We're on!
We're on! Double! Double!
Oh [bleep], it is on.
We got 'em on.
Hydros!
Reel, reel, reel, reel, merm.
We've got a double on.
That's two shots to
hold on to our lead.
We can only catch
one fish per day.
But we've got to get
both to the boat to see
which fish is bigger and
to see which one
has better quality.
Marissa: We're on!
Nice morning bite.
Tyler: Get this out of the
way and ready to go to work.
Bobby: We're turning.
Brian: There he is.
Drew: Fish on.
Bobby: Fish on!
It's a screamer.
Brian: Hooked up, baby.
What we do.
Bobby: It's a monster, dude.
Let's go get him, bro.
I came in to tuna
fishing after a career
of k*lling bedbugs.
So some guys would say
that I'm young in this game,
but right now I'm
gonna prove that
we've got what it takes.
Bro, reel on it. You fight.
Tyler: Still there?
Marissa: He's here.
Color!
Tyler: Dammit.
[bleep] yellowfin.
Marissa: Tyler.
Is it big enough?
Tyler: Yeah, I guess
we'll take it home for dinner.
All right, merm.
Let's get on the other one.
If we got another yellowfin,
I'm gonna be pissed.
It made a big run,
it hit pretty big.
But it's got weight.
The rod's loaded up
pretty good, so I think
it's the real deal.
It looks like a bluefin, I
mean it hit like a bluefin.
Hope it's a bluefin.
I think we got the
right one on here.
It's gotta be a
bluefin, right?
Marissa: Oh, yeah.
Tyler: Forward,
forward, forward!
Drew: All right, brian.
You like what
I'm doing, brian?
Brian: Yeah, it's money.
Drew: All right.
Brian: It's money in the bank.
Look how that rod bends, dude.
Bobby: You're
putting heat on him.
I'll tell you that, bro.
Brian: Coming right up, bro.
Gonna have color any second.
Final countdown.
Tyler: How's it feel, merm?
Marissa: Feels like a bluefin.
Tyler: Nice! Get some.
Marissa: What kind
of angle am I at?
Tyler: You're good.
You're good.
Just keep reeling.
Fish is coming
in kind of quick.
I don't know
what's going on with
this thing if it's tired,
if it doesn't know
it's hooked or it's gonna
go crazy once
he gets close to the boat.
Keep reeling.
Keep reeling.
Keep reeling.
Brian: Oh, yeah.
I got color.
Deep color.
Bobby: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Let's see him.
Oh yeah, look at that.
Drew: There he is.
Bobby: He's gonna
pinwheel immediately.
Brian: Get on that harpoon.
I got it. Leader's on.
Drew: Got him! Tail rope.
Bobby: This way, right?
Drew: Yeah, let's do
it out over there, yeah.
Bobby: All right, boys.
Want to drag him in?
Drew: See what we got.
Ugh.
Bobby: Come on, you fatty.
Come on! Nice! Yeah!
All right, let's get
a measurement, boys.
Brian: 88.
Bobby: 88.
Drew: Yeah, baby.
Bobby: Yeah! Nice!
Boom, boom, boom, boom.
What's bugging you?
Nice!
Brian: Bugging out!
Tyler: He's coming up, merm.
He's coming up.
He's coming up.
Reel, reel, reel! Color.
Get some, merm. Get some.
He's just making a nice
counter clockwise pinwheel.
Get some.
Keep getting some.
Marissa: Ow.
Tyler: Keep
getting some, merm.
The dart fell off.
The freaking dart fell off.
Marissa: Ah!
What the [bleep]?
Oh, my god.
Tyler: We just lost our
chance at keeping rasta at bay.
What the hell happened?
Marissa: The line exploded.
Oh, my god.
Tyler: Come on.
He was right there.
Oh, my god, I was
just looking right at him.
The dart fell off and then
we [bleep] broke him off.
If the dart
didn't fall off there,
I would have thrown
and I would have hit
him with the harpoon.
I don't freaking get it.
I don't even know
what's going on.
I give up.
How did it break off?
Marissa: I don't know.
Tyler: The freaking
dart fell off.
Marissa: Googan alert.
Bobby: It's never
bad when you're back
at the dock by 1:00.
I got you a fat one, dennis.
Let's get him up.
Let's see what we got here.
I think you'll be impressed.
Dennis: Right on.
Bobby: Pretty fish, man.
Pretty fish.
This fish should help us
stay competitive with the
boys on the pocket rocket.
All right, dennis.
Moment of truth.
Dennis: 301 pounds
dressed, bobby.
Bobby: Nice.
Drew: Nice.
Bobby: Nice. Nice.
Brian: Nice, bobby.
Dennis: Let's see what
the meat color looks like.
Bobby: Yeah, let's
take a peek at that.
What we got, dennis?
Dennis: You guys caught
a nice fatty today.
Seeing some nice
fat here fanning out
into the major lobes.
Bobby: Beautiful. Beautiful.
Dennis: And the tail color's
looking pretty sharp too.
Pretty clear core.
Nothing blasting out to me.
Pretty nice fish though.
Still, the fat's
gonna carry this fish.
Bobby: What are you thinking?
Come on, dennis.
Make our day.
Bottom line?
Dennis: $22 a pound.
Bobby: Yeah!
Now you're talking.
Dude, thank you. Thank you.
Dennis: Well done, guys.
Bobby: Thank you so much.
I may be new to the game,
but I just got 7,000 reasons
why that doesn't matter.
Brian: Gimme four.
Drew: Four and a
quarter, buddy.
Travis: Yo, joe, you want to
hear the worst horror story?
Joe: What?
Travis: I know this
guy out here fishing by
himself, had the mark,
ran back to jig the stick
and turned and looked up over
his shoulder or something.
Looked back up to the screen.
And as soon as he turned
around, that clip came back
and smoked him in the face.
He said he woke up probably
15, 20 minutes later,
blood everywhere,
seeing stars.
Had no idea what really
actually happened, but
knew that he was on.
Fished like four more days
like that all by himself.
Joe: Well, good thing
if I get knocked out,
we have you here so
you can put me back together
and make me keep jigging.
Travis: Yeah.
Marciano: I've always
liked the idea of the
younger guys who are gonna
fill the void when we're gone,
us older guys.
These young guys still
got the gusto and they
want to make a statement.
But with age comes wisdom,
and on the falcon,
we kind of have a
combination of both.
Hopefully, I can use
that to my advantage.
We just got to get our
troll game dialed in.
There's been
some bites around.
It looks fishy.
We're doing the right stuff.
We're just waiting for
our luck to change.
Travis: Got 'em airing
out on your port side.
See 'em?
Marciano: That's them?
Joe: Oh, yeah,
yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh!
Travis: There he is!
Hey, watch out, joe!
Watch out!
Marciano: What?
Travis: They're all over it.
Joe: Hey!
Travis: Watch out!
Watch out!
Watch out!
Joe: Oh, we're on! Ah!
Travis: Parted him off.
He could still be on there.
Go back and get your ball!
Hurry up!
Marciano: [bleep].
Travis: Keep an eye on it.
We had a couple bites on
the greenstick at once.
And the stick's just not
rated for that many big fish.
When there's four hungry
fish you know pulling
against each other,
[bleep] gonna break.
Crank your long riggers up.
The only hope is to
find that poly ball.
Marciano: Yeah,
we just parted off our
greenstick on one of 'em.
We're looking for
the ball now here,
but we had the real deal.
Travis: If we don't
find that ball, whatever's
on the stick is gone.
The whole rig.
All of it gone,
including the fish.
Marciano: See it anywhere?
Travis: You see it, joe?
Marciano: You see it?
Where is it?
I don't see it.
Where is it?
I don't see it.
Where is it?
Travis: I don't know.
Marciano: And the
outer banks curse continues.
They got the poly
ball drug under.
Now we got $150 to
$200 worth, more than that.
Sunk and [bleep] with two
bluefins hanging on it.
Can only do anything
with one of them.
Marciano: And the
outer banks curse continues.
That's the straw that broke
the camel's back right there.
Travis: Now what?
Now we gotta sit here
waiting for this ball to
come back up and hope to god
that they're still on it.
Joe: Hey, straight ahead!
12:00, 12:00!
Marciano: Yeah, I see it.
Joe: 12:00!
Marciano: I got it.
Joe: 12:00!
Travis: What side?
Starboard side?
Joe: Starboard side!
Starboard side. 2:00.
Travis: Right on your stern.
Marciano: Just
keep an eye on it.
I'm gonna get, let me uh,
I gotta do it from this side.
Travis: Yeah, go, no,
take it on the port side.
It looks like he's got you
hung down on the other side.
Marciano: Now that we
got our eyes on this ball,
we have to get this boat
turned around before the
fish pulls it under again.
Joe: It's going that way,
just so you know.
Marciano: All right, hang on.
If that ball goes
under before we grab it,
we could lose this
fish a second time.
Joe: We're getting close.
We're getting close.
Marciano: All right.
Travis: Right on your stern.
Keep coming.
Marciano: I know, I know.
I'm good.
I just, I just don't
wanna back over it
and finish it off.
Joe: All right.
I got my hand on it.
Marciano: All right.
Hold up. Hold up. Hold up.
Nice and easy now, guys.
Nice and easy.
Travis: He's still on there.
Watch out.
Joe: Watch out.
Marciano: Watch
your fingers, travis.
Travis: Let's get
it on the bandit.
Marciano: Give me power.
Power. Nice and easy.
Joe: We should have it.
It's on.
Marciano:
All right. All right.
Joe: It should be on.
Maybe because we
were steamed or?
Marciano: Oh, [bleep].
This strike was
so violent it completely
destroyed our bandit rig.
Joe: All right.
Marciano: If we want
this fish, we gotta get
it the old fashioned way.
Travis: Not the first
one of these things
I've had to hand haul.
Marciano: All right.
Joe: We got him on there.
Let's keep him on there.
Little bump.
Travis: You're good.
Marciano: All right. Yep.
Travis: You're good.
Marciano: I'll bump you.
Here you go.
Joe: All right.
Where's he at?
Marciano: Let him
run if he has to.
Travis: Clip?
Joe: Yep. I'm gonna
keep going, right?
Travis: Yep. Wind
it right through.
Joe: Yep, yep.
Marciano: All right.
There he is.
Joe: There he is.
Marciano: Yeah.
Joe: Dart ready.
Marciano: I got a dart ready.
Joe: Nice.
Travis: Tail rope.
Marciano: Oh, [bleep]. Ugh.
Watch out, watch out!
Travis: Ugh.
Joe: Yeah, guys.
Marciano: All right.
Yeah, we got him.
Joe: Good job. All right.
Marciano: One, two, three.
I guess you can teach an
old dog new tricks after all.
Let's get a quick
measurement on him.
Joe: 83.
Marciano: What do you got,
83 down there?
Joe: Nice. Not bad.
Marciano: In the end,
it took new tricks,
plus some
old-fashioned experience
to put this fish on the deck.
If we hurry, we can beat
that midnight deadline
and come back out.
Travis: Sounds
like a plan to me.
[barking]
tj: Yeah, we've got
plenty of life around us.
We've got two-tones around
us now and scattered
bait on the machine,
but the herd of
bluefins is not here.
Oh, we can't
get lucky every day.
The pasta rocket can.
The guys on the rasta rocket,
they're young guys,
they're driven,
they're competitive.
It takes a certain type
of person day in and day
out to wanna be out there
in a 30-foot center console.
Everyone's kind of saying
these guys have no business
being here on this boat.
However, that boat will
be a weapon for them.
There are days when
those guys are gonna
get bites when we won't
because they're so
quiet in the water,
they have no wake and
they will entice bites
out of these fish when
these fish don't wanna bite.
Tj: So is everyone.
Bubby, they hook
fish every day.
It's the boat.
Mark at 100.
Is he jigging it?
[beeping]
[reel unspooling rapidly]
jarrett: Fish on!
Mike ott: Got 'em on, baby!
Got 'em on.
Tj: Go to the other
corner, jarrett.
Down and tight, baby.
Sundown bite. Rod bite.
Mike ott: Got 'em on.
Just clearing out
the greenstick.
Jarrett got him on the rigger.
Tj: Wow.
Mike ott: Holy cow.
Tj: Line going out, baby.
Pa-pow!
Mike: Ooh-wee that thing
is dumping us right now.
Crippled over, so
that's a real one.
This is what we're here for.
Jarrett: This could be
the fish that puts us
back ahead of those kids
on the rasta rocket.
Tj: Have him
coming pretty good.
He just woke up.
Jarrett: Oh, [bleep].
Tj: Gone?
Jarrett: Gone.
Mike ott: Still there.
Still there.
Tj: Let me take a quick crank.
Here. Here, here, here.
Pulled him off. [bleep].
Right at sunset, man.
Dammit.
Jarrett: It's always a
heartbreaker losing a fish.
But to lose a monster
while the rookies
are catching 'em up,
that's just salt in the wound.
Whatever it was,
it was [bleep] huge.
Mike: Just lost our ticket home.
Joe: That was epic.
Marciano: That almost
saved the season, right?
Joe: Hell yeah.
What's going on, scotty?
Got a nice package for you.
Scott: About time, huh?
Joe: Let's get it up.
Marciano: We needed
this fish for crew morale.
Catch a fish and everybody
gets their second wind.
What do we got, scotty?
Scott: You got
285 pounds dressed.
Joe: Hell yeah.
Travis: Nice.
Joe: Not bad.
Marciano: Not bad.
I hope it's a good one.
All right, scotty.
What do you think, man?
Scott: Greasy.
Marciano: He did an
awful lot of damage.
I got to repair the
whole damn stick rig.
Scott: Let's check
out the core.
Marciano: Nice.
Scott:
Core looks pretty good.
Definitely no burn there.
Marciano: So bottom line.
What do you think, scotty?
Scott: Get you guys...
$22 a pound.
Marciano: Nice.
Joe: Oh, hell yeah.
Travis: Nice. Perfect.
Marciano: We got over
six grand for this fish.
Now hopefully, the whole
check won't have to go to
fixing up the bandit rig.
Scott: All right, guys.
Good job.
Marciano: Well done, scotty.
Thank you very much.
Scott: Appreciate it.
Marciano: But for now, we're
just happy we got a payday.
Let's figure out what's
wrong with the rig and
get right back out there.
Get one of those big ones.
Travis: I think we'd
had our hands full
with a big one today.
Zack: Here we go.
Ready to go get 'em.
Right now is real crucial.
If we can get us a
fish today, we'll seal
the deal on the lead.
We're actually
leaving a little late.
The weather was pretty
nasty this morning.
I think it's gonna be a
little swell crossing the bar.
So hopefully, we'll find
somebody to duck behind.
Zack: Yeah, come on, adam.
You got me?
Adam [over radio]:
Yeah, I gotcha, man.
Zack: Mind if we
duck in behind you?
Adam [over radio]:
No, come on, man.
Put her in the wind.
John-michael: You
got to be young or
crazy to face this inlet
in a center console.
When we were their age, we
didn't give a crap either.
Adam: Yeah, we used
to do the same.
John-michael: We used
to the same damn thing.
Adam: Same exact thing.
Eric: You know, those
rasta rocket boys.
We can see us
in them, you know.
We started on a little
center console like that.
Young, hard, charging guys
out there soaking wet,
trying to stay dry.
These guys got a nice
fish the other day and
they're kicking our a*s
but we're still
gonna do whatever it
takes to help somebody.
We're not gonna just sit
there and watch them drown.
You're gonna throw
the man a life jacket.
You're giving back
from the times that you
needed something because
you've been there.
Adam: Oh, yeah, I see
whitewater on the bar.
John-michael: Here
comes rasta rocket.
Oh, yeah, we got
you in our sights now.
Adam [over radio]:
Yeah, man. All right.
Here we go. Come on.
Eric: Adam, they're
breaking on both sides, dude.
Yeah, I think no
matter what, dude,
we're gonna hit whitewater.
John-michael: I think
we're gonna hit whitewater.
Adam: Come on, rocket.
Here we go. Hold on. [bleep].
John-michael: Holy [bleep].
Adam: Hold on.
Eric: Turn into it.
John-michael: Turn it, yup.
We got whitewater.
Hold on, hold on.
We got whitewater.
Hold on. Hold on.
Hold on. Hold on.
Hold on. Hold on.
Another big one.
Whitewater!
Whitewater!
Eric: Oh, my gosh.
Whitewater!
Whitewater!
There he is!
Zack: Rasta rocket!
Daniel: You just got to take
your time and you got to go.
There ain't no in between.
You got to go.
Hold on! Hold on!
We got out though.
Good to go.
Eric: It's gonna be
interesting to see how
these boys turn out.
And I think they're
gonna turn some heads.
You know, they're
real good fishermen.
Banks: Bring d-o-g out here
and let me pet him one time.
Good boy! Good boy!
Reed: It's never good when
you're the boat that's not
catching and everyone else is.
Having our stuffed dog
definitely lightens the mood,
but we're not out
here to play kids games.
We need to catch a fish soon
or we're gonna end up
being the
laughingstock of wanchese.
Banks: D-o-g!
Get d-o-g off the.
Reed: Come on!
Banks: Off the carpet.
Reed: Poor guy.
Steve: He's fine.
He's waterproof.
Reed: Marking.
[beeping]
yup, there's that mark again.
Steve: Yeah. There we are!
Banks: There it is.
Reed: All right, boys.
Here we go.
Banks: Let's do it.
Steve: Thank you, lord.
Coming over.
Show some energy here, boys.
Banks: Get on it.
Reed: Oh please let
us get this one.
Banks: Still taking line.
Reed: Throw some skins on.
Talk to me because
I'm in here.
Banks: Steve, get ready.
Take me up.
Take me up.
Go, go! Hey.
Bump it ahead.
Bump it ahead.
Reed: Oh, [bleep]! Look out.
This guy's up here playing
with [bleep] gaffs.
I'm not even on the controls.
I mean, he doesn't realize
when you got 1,000 yards out,
you don't need that stuff.
Banks: Yeah.
We're a long, we're
a long way from that.
Reed: Long [bleep] way.
Banks: Yeah.
Why don't you get me a glove,
buddy, instead of a gaff?
Reed: Glove! Glove!
Open your ears.
Banks: He's
getting gaffs ready.
I asked him for a
glove ten minutes ago.
Reed: Mannequin's
[bleep] flustered now.
Steve's walking
around like it's bring
your kid to work day.
Even my 12-year-old
knows better than this.
If his rookie mistake
costs us this fish, he's
going in after that thing.
Can't see [bleep], the wind,
the sea blowing me all around.
Watch your drag in this
close swelly [bleep].
Wear that sucker out.
Big sea.
Banks: I see it.
Reed: Coming up.
Big sea. Big sea.
Oh, boy. Hold on.
Don't let it go.
Steve, get on the gear.
Banks: I see it right there.
Reed: Hell yeah.
We got deep color.
Reed: Careful now. Careful.
Banks: Here's the leader.
Reed: [bleep], big swell.
Big swell. Nice!
Banks: Get him!
Get him! Get him!
I missed like a [bleep].
Banks: Get him! Get him!
Get him! Get him!
Got him.
Reed: Give me the gaff, dude.
Behind me.
All right, get the tail rope.
Banks: Hold on! Hold on!
Hold on! Seal the deal.
Let's do it. Come on!
Come on! Come on!
Reed: You good?
Steve: Yeah.
Steve: Hell yeah, kahuna.
Reed: All right, boys.
Banks: That's right.
Reed: Thank you, baby jesus.
Thank you, big jesus.
Steve: Big baby jesus?
One, two, three.
Whew! Come on.
Reed: 88, whoo!
Thank god we caught this fish.
We still got some
work to do with steve.
Keeping him on
task especially.
But we got
this fish, awesome.
Pretty work!
Pretty work!
Put the rasta rocket
boys in their place.
Zack: Kahuna just
caught a fish.
Those guys got it dialed in
first thing in the morning.
Reed: Whoo.
It was rough out there today.
Dennis: So, what do
you got for me today?
Reed: We got to
come home with one.
That's what we got.
Dennis: Well,
let's check it out.
Reed: This fish isn't
a jumbo, but we're
lucky to have this guy.
He helped us save a
lot of face out there.
What do we got for
the core weight?
Dennis: 255 pounds
dressed, reed.
Reed: Nice.
Dennis: Let's see
how it grades out.
All right. Very, very
beautiful tail color,
but I'm not
seeing a ton of fat.
Let's take a look.
Oh, look at that guys.
Really, really nice color.
Reed: Tell me what
you're thinking for it.
Dennis: $22 a pound.
Reed: Pretty work, boys.
We're stoked for this fish.
It's not the biggest
or best of the week,
but it keeps us
competitive and we're
happy to have him.
But we cannot have some
young punks beat us.
We're gonna make sure
that the rasta rocket's
in timeout permanently.
All we have to do is find
a bigger one tomorrow.
Getting back out there.
Turn and burn,
like the big boys.
Bobby: We got to
[bleep] get on the meat.
That's what we got to do.
Brian: There's your
boy pocket rocket.
Bobby: Where?
Brian: Right next to us,
starboard side.
Ouch. Oh, dude.
Bobby: Pocket rocket
is obviously setting
the pace right now.
Listen, they could be
as young as they wanna be,
but me and my crew
have as much energy as
15-year-olds.
So I'm not worried about
their youth and their energy.
Brian: They spent the night.
Pretty hardcore in that
little center console.
Bobby: God bless 'em.
You know, that's no joke.
You know, I went down below.
Slept in a beautiful
queen sized bed.
I feel a little bit, a
little bougie, you know?
Brian: Captain bobby's
got to put us on one here.
But see now,
critical time here,
[bleep] sun coming up.
Yeah, this is a very
important time, man.
This is when it all goes down.
The magic hour.
The golden hour.
You gonna have
baits in the water now.
Bobby: We got bait
in the water now?
Brian: Yeah, we
got two, three.
[beeping]
bobby: Get ready.
Get ready! Get [bleep] ready.
Brian: Holy [bleep].
Bobby: Get ready. Get ready.
Brian: I've been ready.
Bobby: You see that [bleep]?
Oh.
Zack: Got a mark.
That was a mark,
so we're in the area.
Now we just need
them to bite for us.
Bobby: All right.
We got a wolf pack.
There's 20 fish in a pile
right under the boat.
75 foot underneath
this boat right now.
Get ready!
Come on, get tight!
Brian: Oh, [bleep].
Bobby: Get [bleep] tight!
Dude!
Brian: Look at
that [bleep], dude.
Bobby: Why aren't we tight?
Brian: I don't know.
Daniel: Come on, baby!
Need a bite.
Come on baby, give us a bite.
Bobby: Dude!
Brian: Hopefully we
get one here.
[reel unspooling rapidly]
bobby: Fish on!
We're on. Ah! We're on, drew!
Brian: Hooked up, baby!
Bobby: We're tight!
We're tight!
Brian: Got 'em on!
Bobby: Down and dirty!
Down and dirty right now.
They ain't the best
conditions to fighting a fish,
I'll tell you that right now.
These swells are
[bleep] crazy, gives
the fish an advantage.
See if we can't get
this one to the boat.
It's a big fish.
It's a huge fish.
I don't know how
psychically big he is.
It's a big fish.
If we can land this fish,
it'll be two fish in as
many days for us.
That's exactly what
we need to show this
fleet we mean business.
Drew: Taking line, bob.
Bobby: It's all right.
Nice and easy on this, baby.
We got him.
Brian, how close?
Brian: He's not close.
Bobby: He's not?
Brian: No.
Bobby: All right. All right.
Drew, get some.
We'll take turns.
He'll be up in
about five minutes.
Hold on, drew!
Hold on!
Now, bro, now!
[bleep], it's
nautical out, man.
Big wave! Hold on, bro!
Drew: Holy cow, buddy!
[grunting]
brian: Gonna lose
this fish, bro.
You're gonna lose this fish.
Now, bro, now!
Big wave!
Hold on, bro.
Drew: Holy cow, buddy!
Bobby: Easy, brother!
Don't k*ll yourself.
Let me tell you something.
Drew is invaluable.
Drew's been fishing
probably three times as
many years as I have.
Psychically, there's
no handicap for
that man whatsoever.
I mean, he does things that,
you know, if he
had ten fingers and
were 20 years younger.
You know, he
does them better.
Don't give him an inch.
Brian: You want a break, drew?
Drew: Yeah.
Brian: I got it. I got it.
Bobby: Coming at you.
The boat gets crazy when
I back up though, bro.
Brian: It's doing top
shots at 100 yards.
Bobby: Right
where you want him.
Up and down.
There you go.
Come down again.
Fish is settling in.
We're settling in.
Doing battle now.
All right. Pinwheel, bro.
Come on, country!
Bring him home.
Brian: All right. Color!
I got color!
Bobby: Come to papa.
Brian: Get the harpoon.
Bobby: Hit him!
Drew: Yeah, bobby! Yeah!
Yeah, man!
I wait for my shot, buddy.
Brian: Yeah, you're
on the money that time.
Bobby: Dude, fish
went berserk at the end.
Brian: Berserk, bro.
Let's pull this
thing in, bobra.
Bobby: One, two, three.
And in you go.
Drew: Hell yeah, baby! Yeah!
Brian: Get that tape.
Drew: All right,
let's measure this, guys.
Bobby: See what we got, baby.
Drew: 93.
Bobby: Nice!
Drew: Yeah, baby!
Veteran fishermen can
never be counted out.
You know, I'm an older guy.
I'm a little fat,
so, you know,
it all takes its toll
on me out there, you know,
but I still find the
energy deep down.
You know, I got to dig
deep down to keep up
with these young guys,
but I'm gonna do it, you know.
That's how we're gonna
win this thing, so.
Bobby: Call it a day.
Brian: Okay.
Bobby: I'm taking over.
Drew: Yeah, baby!
Bobby: Dude!
Come on, big country!
Zack: That's about it.
Hope tomorrow's gonna be
our day because today wasn't.
Drew: Come on down.
See if the price is right.
Dennis: Mr. Bugs.
Drew: What's going on, dennis?
Dennis: You're
here right on time.
Bobby: I think we got
really nice fish here.
Dennis: Let's check it out.
Bobby: Every ounce counts.
Every pound counts.
Just catching that fish
was critical for us.
No one thought we had a shot.
We're gonna set that straight.
Old, young, it doesn't matter.
We'll outdo the young guys,
we'll outdo the
more experienced guys.
We'll outdo all the guys.
Dennis, what's
the bottom line?
Dennis: 395 pounds, guys.
Bobby: Oh, nice!
Dennis: Let's check it out.
Bobby: Let's check it out.
Dennis: You guys caught
another beautiful fish today.
Nice!
Tail color is beautiful.
Nice fat.
Really nice meat quality.
I'm really liking the
meat quality on this fish.
Let's see what the
core looks like.
Bobby: Come on, cherry red.
Dennis:
Terrific, look at that.
Oh. Superb core color.
Really, really
nice and bright. Clear.
Bobby: What's the bottom line?
Dennis: $25 a pound.
Bobby: Oh!
Dennis, thank you so much.
Dennis: Well done.
Bobby: That's two fish
for us in two days.
A lot of guys have been
underestimating us.
What we're doing to their
doubts, what I do to bedbugs.
Exterminating them.
Dennis: Keep it up.
I'd love another one
like that tomorrow.
Bobby: We're gonna go get one.
Dennis: Thanks, guys.
Bobby: Oh. That's great.
Narrator: Rasta rocket's
$16,000 fish launches the
young boat into the top spot
ahead of rivals pinwheel,
offshore outlaw
and hot tuna.
Reel e' bugging's
two fish haul puts them
within striking
distance of the top 3.
And quality bluefin
from kahuna and falcon
keep both crews afloat,
but can't end the
falcon's struggles.
Marciano: Let's tie up.
See if I can figure out what's
wrong with the bandit rig.
I hope it's just low on
fluid and nothing major.
But it did an awful
lot of damage.
It almost seems like
whenever I come down here,
my luck stays
back in gloucester.
This week, I
learned a new trick,
but unfortunately,
we busted up
some gear doing it...
And just when we were
back in the game.
It's like the old saying goes.
One step ahead,
two steps behind.
[bleep] pain in the a*s.
We've got to get
this figured out quick or
we're gonna miss some
valuable fishing time.
Major excitement to
major disappointment.
Joe: We're missing
fishing time,
so it's never looking good.
Marciano: Now that sucks.
