06x14 - Breaking Point

Post by bunniefuu »

Banks: Argh!

Brian: Forward, forward,
forward, forward!

Narrator: This
season on wicked tuna...

Daniel: Dammit!

Narrator: Outer banks.

The fleet has battled
punishing seas...

Bobby: Watch those waves!
Reel on the way down!

Narrator: And
fierce competition.

John-michael: Oh!
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa!

Reed: Doubled up!

Narrator: The crews
and their boats are
bruised and battered...

Reed: Bilge pumps
aren't working.

Bobby: No!

Narrator: And less than
5% of the quota remains.

Bobby: It's getting desperate.

Tyler: Get him, merm! Get him!

Adam: Come on!
Come on! Come on!

Narrator: Now...

Banks: Game on!

Narrator: Any
mistake could cost the
captains their season...

Bobby: We have no steering.
Reed: It's game over.

Narrator: In their
relentless quest...

Drew: Mean, mean fish.

Narrator: To be
king of the fleet.

Bobby: We're gonna
lose this fish.

Eric: Get on the wheel!
Get on the wheel!

Narrator: This is...

Bobby: Keep that [bleep] on
there or I'm driving home.

Drew: Argh!
Tyler: God!
Eric: Adam!

Zack: It ain't over!

Narrator: Wicked tuna
outer banks.

Daniel: Just what
the doctor ordered.

Narrator: With over
95% of the quota caught,

southern boat reel e' bugging

is in the lead
with 12 bluefin.

Followed closely
behind by rasta rocket

and northern boat pinwheel,
tied with nine fish each.

Meanwhile kahuna, hot tuna,

and offshore outlaw are
in the middle of the pack

within a slim
margin of $700.00.

Marissa: Lots of boats.

Tyler: We got to
get in on the action.

Crazy amount of
boats out here.

Uh, definitely this quota's
gonna get smoked pretty quick.

We're coming down to
the end of the season.

There's less than 5%
of the existing quota left.

And there's a lot
of boats out here,

because everyone's trying
to get that last fish before

the fat lady sings
and calls this season over.

It's stressful.

Can't control what's going on.
Can't control the quota.

All we can do is control
what we're doing and to
give it our best effort.

Marciano [over radio]:
Yo, tj, tyler.
You guys there?

Tyler [over radio]:
What's up, dave?

Tj [over radio]: Yo,
what's going on, dave?

Marciano [over radio]:
Getting the mark.

Can't get the bite.

Tj: On bait or trolling?

Marciano: We're trolling
around a little bit.

Whatever it is this year,

we can't do
[bleep] nothing right.

That's for sure.

Tyler [over radio]:
We got rods out, we
can't get a hook up.

Tj: Should I put the stick up?

Marciano: Uh, maybe.
I don't know.

Marciano [over radio]:
Might be worth a shot.

Tyler [over radio]:
Good luck, guys.

Let's catch the rest
of the quota before
the southern guys.

Bobby: That's never
gonna happen, tyler.

Bugging's gonna
win this thing.

Tyler: Not if we
could help it.

Tj: Jarrett, let's
get the stick.

Listen, we can leave these
back as long as I don't turn.

We, we got to
put the stick up.

I'm extremely
nervous knowing that
this quota can close and

I won't have a chance
to climb up that leaderboard.

We've already had one
quota extension and it's
winding down as we speak.

We're praying
for another one,

but we can't count on it.

So I've got the
long riggers out.

Our chances of catching
are gonna be higher if I
put the stick out as well.

Jarrett: It's tangled in
the long rigger lines.

Tj: [bleep]. Oh my god.
It's a wolf pack.

Nice marks right here.

Tj: Big marks!
Oh my god.
Look at all these tuna.

I got to bump it quick.

Hurry up!
Hurry up!
Bubby, get up!

Mike: Tj, calm down.

Tj: I need help.
I screwed the lines up.

Marissa: We're on!

Tyler: We're on! We're on!
We're on! We're on!

Marissa: Yes!

Tyler: Reel in
the long riggers.

Merm, to the rod.

Marissa: Merm to the rod.

Tyler: Got 'em on.
Nice bite. Ha-ha. Woo!

Marissa:
Taking a lot of line.
Feels like a big, heavy fish.

Tyler: Woo!
Good fishing this morning.

All right.
Merm's down and tight!

Nice fish on here.
Took a lot of line.

Trying to get him
to settle down.

I mean, this is what we do.

The sun's cracking
the horizon, we're on.

If you didn't have your
stuff in the water before
the sun cracks the horizon,

you're gonna be one
of these other boats
that didn't catch 'em.

Tj: Come on with this
[bleep] thing, dammit!

Jarrett:
They're right under us.
We got fix these lines, quick.

Tj: I think I
[bleep] snagged the
bird like a [bleep]

[bleep] being an idiot.

Mike: That's why our
squid looks all [bleep] up.

Mike: Something.

It's not even coming
close to the water.

It's caught. It's hung up.

Tj: Unbelievable.
We're gonna miss the bite.

Tyler: Come on, merm.
Keep reeling. Turn it. Turn it.

Keep winding, keep winding.
Tire him out.

Just wear him out.

Marissa: He's
definitely getting tired,
but he's still taking line.

Tyler: Come on,
pull, pull, pull.

Just settled down.
Got you in a nice pattern.

Now merm can get
to work on him.

She's sideways and tight.
Getting down and dirty.

Got a lot of rod bent.
Mega heat on this fish.

Attagirl!
Keep it going.
Keep it coming.

Mike: This one
goes behind it, right?

Tj: Let's go! Let's go!
Let's go! Hurry up, guys.

Are we untangled?
We're not marking anymore.

Had long riggers out.

I said, "let's
fire this stick out."

next thing, I got my long
rigger tangled in my stick.

So, I screwed that up.
Good way to start the day.

Tj: One of those days.

Tyler: Wear him down.

Break him.
We need this one, merm.

Marissa: Come on, tuna!

Tyler: Get him, merm!
Get him!

Marissa: I'm on it, t.

Tyler: Reel, reel,
reel, reel, reel, reel!

Reel, reel, reel!
Nice circle there.

Color, color!

Marissa: Get him, ty.

Nice!

Tyler: Come on, merm.
Got a gaff, merm?

Gaff. Right here.

Marissa: Gaff.
Tyler: Nice one, merm!

It's a big one!
Look at that tail!
Come on, merm.

Get it on there.
Get on there, merm. Woo!
Look at this big boy.

Pull it tight.

Marissa: Jumbo.

Tyler: Woo-hoo! Morning bite.
Way to go, sis.

Marissa: Nice.

Tyler: That's
teamwork at its finest.
That's a nice one.

Marissa: Beautiful fish.

Tyler: What a
great morning bite.

If this fish pulls
in the right price,

we'll pull ahead of
pocket rocket and

reel e' bugging.

It's the end of the
season and merm and I are
in the zone to take this

whole competition down.

Marissa: Whoa!
Tyler: Got a jumbo! Woo!

Marissa: Woo!
Tyler: Wow! Way to go.

Marissa: Oh, my god!
Tyler: A hundred-incher.

Right on the button.

Marissa: Wow,
another 100-incher.

Tyler: All I got
say is cha-ching!

Marissa: We're headed west.
Tyler: We're going west, merm.

Nice big beautiful fish.
I can't wait to see what
the buyer's gonna say.

Tyler [over radio]:
You listening, bedbugs?

I just put a
hundred-incher on the deck.

Bobby: All right,
we're gonna get our shot,
don't you worry about it.

Tyler [over radio]: Yeah,
you can watch us roll right
past you on the leaderboard.

Got him! Whew!
It's a good day.

Marissa: Woo!

Reed: Might be the end
of our season, boys.

Banks: Before or after
the prop goes flying off?

Reed: We got to
change our propeller.

You know, we've
had one on there since
the first day of fishing.

It's really had
a bad vibration.

I've not felt good about
it the whole season.

Banks: Out of the water.

Reed: We're gonna
change the prop.

With the new one,
hopefully smooth the boat
out and get back to work.

Banks: Get her down.

Last week we
didn't catch a fish.

But being at the dock is
really not helping us get
back up the leaderboard.

On top of that, this
boat has gotten beat up.

The bluefin tuna is a
very particular fish and
maybe this vibration might be

scaring the tuna off.

We need to fix it and
get back to fishing so
we don't miss any more

opportunities to catch.

Reed: Look at
that line right there.

The prop is not riding
square on the shaft.

It's really only hitting
at certain points.

And, it, uh, that
definitely will cause
you a lot of vibration.

And the hub of the prop
is supposed to be perfectly
machined to fit this taper.

Where that
discoloration is,

it wasn't even making
contact with the shaft.

That's allowing a lot
of wobble in there.

We have to get
back on the water.

Sanding the corrosion
on the shaft is our safest
and best option right now to

get the new prop on the
boat be get back on the
water as soon as possible.

Reed: Time to get
back out there before we
fall any further behind.

Marissa: We got a fatty.

Dennis: You got a fatty?
Right on, awesome.

Tyler: What's up, d-bone?
Dennis: How's it going, guy?

Tyler: Everything's good.

Dennis: Let's check
that stud out.

Tyler: All right.
Dennis: That is a beast.

Beautiful fish.

Tyler: What's it dressing?
Dennis: 491 pounds, dressed.

Tyler: Woo!
500 dressed jumbo.

Dennis: Let's check it out.

Marissa: When we bring a fish
to the buyer, he's looking for

good red color, lots of
fat and a translucent core.

If the fish has
all those things,

we're gonna get a
really good price.

Dennis: The tail
color's just awesome.

Look how beautifully
red the tail is.

I'm not seeing, like,
jammed up fat here in the tail,

but let's see what the
core color looks like.

Tyler: Let's check it out.
It's the moment of truth.

Dennis: It's really
beautiful meat color,
both the core and the tail.

Tyler: What do you think
you can get us for this one?

Dennis: $17 a pound.
Tyler: Thanks, dennis. Woo!

Marissa: Thank you, dennis.
Dennis: Way to go, guys.
Tyler: Way to go, mermy.

We really don't
know how much longer we
got left in this season.

You know, we're just gonna
take it day by day and try
to fish as much as we can and

add to our total.

We'll see if we can't
catch a couple more before
the quota's all gone.

Dennis: I hope to
see you tomorrow.

Tyler: Me too.

All we can do is fish
because as soon as they
do close that quota,

the paychecks for
us are through.

Marissa: The quota's
almost over, tyler.

Let's get back out
there and do it again.

Bobby: Yeah...

Adam: Yeah.

Well, maybe they'll come
out right here before dark.

Zack: Get him, cuz. Get him.

We'll see you out there.
Good luck, catch 'em up.
We hope you the best.

Bobby: Pinwheel just
caught a fish, and that
could put him in front of us.

I didn't come all this
way, fight this hard, to
lose at the last minute.

The best strategy right
now is to not make mistakes.

Any mistake could
cost us everything.

Come on, boys!
Let's go home!

I got porpoise.
Nice marks.

[beeping]

we're in the right spot.

Come on, boys!

[beeping]

[reel unspooling rapidly]

we're on!

Drew: Here we go.
Come on, baby!

Bobby: Drew, am I tight?
Drew: Yes.

Keep pulling drag off there
till we get just lines in.

Bobby: You guys saw
those [bleep] dolphins.

I knew it!

Stretched out right
towards you, outlaw.

Adam: Catch 'em up!

Bobby: Hey, until we know
we got him under control,
let's keep it in high gear.

Brian: Forward to the left.

Bobby: If I got to run,
you yell it out, bri.

Oh, there you go.
Yeah. Let him go.

Screamin' nieman.
Oh, we got a screamer.

Brian: Look, he's
starting to go down now.

Bobby: This fish is crazy.

Bobby: I'm just gonna go
a little at a time, bri.

Brian: Come on, drew.
Crank, crank, crank!

Bobby: Still tight?
Brian: I think he's there.
Drew: Yeah, he's there.

Brian: Keep it in gear, bro.

Bobby: We've fallen
behind pinwheel.

And with practically no
quota left, hanging onto this
fish right now is critical.

Bobby: Use your hand, bro.
Use your hand.

Drew: Come on!
Got six inches.

Bobby: Watch those waves.
Reel on the way down.

Bobby: Keep that
[bleep] thing tight.

Drew:
Still taking drag, bobby.

I'm not being polite today.

Drew: Ah! Come on.

Drew: Come on.

Bobby: Use your hand, bro.
Use your hand.

Drew: Got six inches.

Bobby: With so little time
to produce, there is no way
we're handing over our lead

to a northern boat.

This could be the last
paycheck of the season.

We have to land this hook up.

Watch those waves.
Reel on the way down.

Bobby: Keep that
[bleep] thing tight.

Drew:
We're taking drag, bobby.

[groaning].

Bobby: I'm not
being polite today.

Drew: He's taking drag.
Taking drag.

Bobby: Probably got
a mile of line out.

This is where brian
likes to fight.

We're gonna walk
'em down, bri.

Brian:
He's getting tired, bro.

Drew: He can't have
much left in him.

Brian: He's coming up.
Bobby: Yeah, he is.

We're doing good here.

Brian: Wow,
he's in the current.

He's taking all
my line back, bro.

Drew: It's like having a
thoroughbred on tight string.

[line snap]

bobby: Oh!
Drew: Oh!
Brian: Oh!

He just pulled off, bro.

Bobby: I watched it.

Brian: We can't
buy a break, bro.

Bobby: Man, we just
lost a big paycheck and a
shot at maintaining our lead.

Now pinwheel's got one
on us today, not good.

Oh, my god.
Dude it was tight.

Brian: But it's
got a better edge.

Bobby: Get a night bite ready.

Let me get on this [bleep].

Sorry, bro.

Brian: Ain't no
lack of action.

Bobby: Guys, we got to
do better than this.

Reed: Can't let
pinwheel win this game.

Propeller feels good, but I
think we have another problem.

The bilge pumps aren't
working for some reason.

The bilge keeps filling
up with water in the
engine room and I can't get

the generator started.

Our only source of power
and bilge pump at the moment.

We're back on the water
after fixing our props, and
just when I thought we'd be

catching bluefins again
we're having a serious
issue with our bilge pumps.

Our bilge is filling
up with water and we
can't pump it out.

Steve: It's not pumping.

Reed: Might have to
call this an early day.

What is happening?

If it's not one thing,
it's something else.

I've never been
one to put paychecks or
competition over safety.

I know that I've got
some mechanical issues
I need to sort out,

I'm gonna go in and fix it.

We'd have a fish if
it wasn't for this.

It sucks because
if other boats catch,
that's gonna put us further

down the leaderboard.

I hate to say it, but
this could be the end of

the kahuna for
this competition.

Banks: Out of here?
Reed: Yup. Get 'em up.

Steve: This is painful.
Reed: Never a dull moment.

Time is running out.

Adam: It's gonna make for
a long day if we don't do
something here quickly.

We didn't catch a
fish on the last trip.

But with the quota
more than 95% caught,

we need to make
something happen.

Pinwheel's taken the
lead with his catch,

but we can't worry
about that right now.

We need to be focused on
putting a fish on our boat.

It's gonna happen right here.

John-michael:
Porpoises are out here.

We got two tones right here.

[beeping]

adam: Marking 'em, dude.

Come on, tuna. Please.

[beeping]

[reel unspooling rapidly]

john-michael: There he is!
Fish on! Fish on!

Yeah, baby!
Yeah, baby!
I got to get this rod over.

Eric: Backing down.

There he is.
Turn towards him.
Turn towards him!

John-michael: That's him.
Eric: Turn towards him!

Turn towards him!

[grunting]

[line snap]

eric: Gone?
John-michael: Now he's gone.
Adam: [bleep]!

Unbelievable.

John-michael:
Yeah, I think it broke.

Adam: What broke?

John-michael: The, the
crimp knot on the leader.

Which usually don't
break, but it did.

Adam: This fish was
our ticket home.

This is not the time
to lose bluefin.

Not with so little quota left.
But we're not gonna give up.

We're gonna put our
baits back in the water,
but man, this hurts.

John-michael: We can't
have too many more of them.

Adam: It's not over yet.

John-michael: We're not just
gonna give up and go home.

Zack: Minnie,
where's the tunas?

The three of us are exhausted
right now because we've
been pushing ourselves

to the limits trying to win
this competition.

In our little boat,
we're taking a lot more
beating than those guys on

their big cabin boats.

But right now we need
a bluefin because we're
so close to winning.

It would mean a lot to myself,
my crew, and their families.

Come on, baby.
Give us a fish.

[beeping]

we got marks right here.
Come on, baby.
Give us a bite.

[reel unspooling rapidly]

zack: There it is.
Fish on, baby!

Daniel: Now
that'll be a keeper.

Zack: Real one.

Daniel: There he goes.
There he is, right there.

It's a real one, here.

Zack: That's a real one.
We just got to keep him tight.
This ain't easy right now.

I mean, this fish
is a fighter.

Good job, dude.

Oh, damn! He's on top.

A lot of things can go
wrong when he's on top.

He's trying to settle in,
get down, and try to fight us.

So, we wear him down.
Up top he's, uh, swimming.

He ain't really fighting us.

I hope so.

Daniel: Bump it.
Go, go, go.

Zack: Come on, daniel.
Try to get some line back.

Daniel: Deep color.

Zack: I'm feeling a ton
of pressure right now.

Daniel: Deep color.
Big fish.

Zack: He is a big fish.

Zack: This could be our
last fish of the season.

He's coming up.

We're just praying that
we don't blow our shot and
lose him right at the boat.

Daniel: Reverse.
Okay, shane. Get ready.

Shane, stick him back there.

Zack: You missed!
Shane: I missed.

Daniel: Damn,
don't do that again.

Dude, hurry up.

Zack: It ain't over!

Shane, stick him back there.

Zack: Throw the harpoon!

You missed!
Dang, shane!

Daniel:
Dude, hurry up. Jab it.

Zack: It ain't over!
Shane: Got him.

Daniel: Watch
out for the dart.

Zack: Man, he's a big fish.
He's running.

Quick, throw the poly-ball.
Slow him down.

This fish is a beast,
even with a dart in him.

He's still taking line.

We've got to get this
fish back up to the boat
before he breaks free and

costs us a paycheck.

This could be the fish
that puts us on top.

Zack: Here he comes.
He's coming up.

Come on, baby.
Just a little further.

Daniel: Tail gaff.
Zack: Big fish.

Daniel: Get that
tail gaff on him.

Zack: Damn!
Daniel: Lift up. Tail rope.

Tail rope. Tail rope.
Okay, pull him up.

Tail rope, tail rope.
Coming up.

Zack: Woo!
Shane: We got him.
Zack: Hell yeah.

Shane: Rasta.
Zack: Rasta rocket!

That was a nail-bitter,
but we got number 10.

Number 10.

Daniel: Ten for the win.
Zack: Double digits. Woo!
Daniel: Pretty fish. Fat fish.

Just what the doctor ordered.

Zack: We're so
exhausted right now.

But because we're
pushing through it, we got
this pretty fish right now.

And that ties our fish count
with pinwheel and it should
put us ahead of bugging.

Daniel: See what we got.

Zack: Hopefully, the
price is good enough
to go to first place.

92.

Daniel: Oh, yeah.
A morning workout.

Zack: This quota
that they gave us
ain't gonna last no time.

We're just taking
all we can get.

And that's all we
can do, is get ours.

You ready to go home?

Yeah.
Number 10, baby.

Brian: Check the baits.
Keep running through.

Bobby keeps driving
us through weeds.

But the fish live under
the weeds, so I mean
I'll check 'em all day.

Bobby: About 7:00 is
the witching hour.

We've been out
here for 40 hours.

Probably got another hour, and
then this morning bite's over.

It's getting desperate.

Yesterday's loss was
a huge blow to us.

Pocket rocket got one today.

And that worries me
because now they're ahead
of us and so is pinwheel.

This is a big problem cause

we're losing the lead that
we worked so hard to get.

And one slob is all we
need to get it back.

Brian: I'm gonna switch
this one to the short
and that one to the long.

Drew: All right.

It's coming to
crunch time now.

Brian: We need a bite, man.

[beeping]

bobby: Here we go.
Mother lode! Mother lode!

Brian: Yeah.
Bobby: Nice mark.

Brian: Come on up.
Got to earn it today.

[beeping]

[reel unspooling rapidly]

there it is. Fish on!

Bobby: We're on!
Brian: We're on! Yeah, boy!

Good bite.
Good bite.
We got a good bite.

Bobby: Booyah.
Brian: Come on, baby!

Bobby: I'm gonna
help you out, brian.

Ready?

Brian: Yeah.
Bobby: Here we go.

Don't, don't overdo
that drag, dude.

Brian: Bump it ahead.

Bobby: I got it.
Brian: Okay. All right.

That's good.
We got a [bleep] jumbo.

Bobby: No one should
ever count us out.

We're gonna fight right
down to the last second that
they give us this season.

Brian: He still
ain't stopping on us.

It's a big fish.

Bobby: I don't like anyone
taking anything from me,

especially the
number one position.

Guess what, pinhead?
We're taking it back.

Brian: Forward!
He's [bleep] going in.

Drew: Swimming with it.
That is one crazy fish.

Bobby: Still tight?

Brian: Forward, forward,
forward, forward, forward!

Bobby: We're
gonna lose this fish.

Here, let me on
there for a second.

Brian: Come crank, bobby.

Bobby: Watch out,
watch out, watch out.

I don't think he's there.

Nah, he ain't there.

Brian: Broke the hook.

What a bite, bro.
Here, I'll reel it in.

Dammit, man!

Bobby: Ugh. [bleep], man.

Drew?

Drew: Yeah?

Bobby: Give him a hand.
Let's get that back out.

Drew: Yeah.
Bobby: Cannot lose fish.

One would be bad enough,
but losing two is like getting
kicked in the gut by a horse,

because it means
we're not going home.

It never gets easy.
They all suck.

Brian: That was a
600 or 700-pounder, bro.

That's the biggest
fish we've had.

Bobby: Man, we got to
get one to the boat.

Zack: Heck, yeah, boys.

There's my mom and
stepdad coming to visit.

Number 10, momma.

Mom: Woo! Ten!
Zack: Yeah.

Bill: What's up, guys?
Zack: What's up, man?
Bill: Let's see what we got.

Zack: Let's see what we got.

My mom and stepdad came
all the way up to wanchese
to watch us unload this fish.

And that means a
lot to me that they're
showing their support.

Dad: That's a good one.

Did you stick him
the first time?

Shane: We're not
gonna talk about that.

Bill: 434 pounds.
Nice work, guys.

Mom: Yes, yes, yes!
Woo-hoo! Number 10.

Bill: Let's take
a look at the core,
get a tail cut on it,

and see what we're
really talking about.

All right, guys. Wow.

A lot of fat.
Color's decent.

Not what I really
was hoping to see.

But let's see what
this core looks like.

Nice translucent.
No cloud in it.

Another excellent fish, guys.

Mom: How excellent?
Zack: Yeah.

Bill: You know what, guys?

I think $19 a pound.

Dad: Yeah.

Bill: Y'all be safe
out there, man.

Shane: We'll see you tomorrow.
Bill: Yeah.

Zack: This is a great
paycheck for our bluefin.

It might be enough to push
us ahead into first place.

The rasta rocket is
getting ready for victory.

Us southern boys
are gonna prevail.

You better watch
out for the rocket.

It's coming in hot.

John-michael: This sucks.

Eric: Are we drifting right?
John-michael: I don't know.

Eric: The wind's
over on this side.

Adam: Try to turn.

Eric: Do something or wait.

John-michael: We really
need to get a fish.

Eric: We just need
one more bite, dude.

John-michael: Rasta
rocket caught another one.

I'm, I'm getting tired
of saying congratulations
to everybody,

and I want that to be us,
but it's getting really scary.

Everybody's almost waiting for
that call like, "it's done."

if the quota ends
tomorrow and we can't
catch any more fish that means,

uh, that'd just
be taking food off
my families' table.

Adam: We're marking.
Got them under the boat.

John-michael: Yeah, looks like
three or four of them there.

Uh, right there.

Adam: Come on, tuna.
Give me a bite.

Eric: Come on, baby. Please.

[beeping]

[reel unspooling rapidly]

john-michael:
Yeah, baby! Yeah!

Adam: Is it a bluefin or what?
Eric: [bleep] kidding me?

Adam [over radio]:
But I think it's a shark.

He's not making a run.

Tyler: All right, outlaw.
Go get them.

You want me to call merm
into the back deck for you?

She turned out to be
one heck of an angler.

Adam: I think we
got it handled.

Adam: Oh, man.
Let me know when
we're tight with a tuna.

John-michael: What kind of
shark do we have this time?

Eric: Look at that rod.
I don't know.

It's bending like
a tuna, dude.

Man.
What the hell is it?

John-michael: A lot of
times we can tell when it's
a tuna or sometimes a shark.

Uh, usually, the tuna's got
that constant pressure that
pulls on you the whole time.

We just got to wait and see.

We're gonna fight it
like it's a bluefin, but
we just don't know yet.

All you can do is hope for
the best and hope you get your
paycheck before it's too late.

Eric: I just saw silver.

John-michael: Are you serious?
You really got silver?

Hey! Hey! It's a
[bleep] tuna! Adam!

Eric: Adam!
Get on the wheel.
Get on the wheel.

Adam: Hold on.
Is it the right one?

Eric: It's a [bleep] tuna.
Adam: A big one?
Eric: [bleep], yeah.

Adam: Yes!
Pull that sucker in the boat!

Adam: A big one?
Eric: [bleep] yeah.

Adam: Yes!
Pull that sucker in the boat.

Eric: Coming up the boat.
Adam: Get ready.

John-michael:
Coming up, adam.

Oh, my grace.
He never ran.

Adam: Sometimes at
night, they don't.

John-michael: Unbelievable.

At first, I thought this
was a shark, but now
we're on with a bluefin.

This could be our
final shot to move up the
leaderboard and get our last

paycheck before
the quota runs out.

Oh, my gracious.
Come on, baby.

Eric: Color.

Adam: Crank it!
Crank it! Crank it!

Come on, john!

Get ready!
Point the damn thing at him.

Eric: There he is!
Stick him, john! Stick him!

John-michael: I don't
have his back to me yet.

Adam: Just go!
Eric: Go!

Adam: You got him.

John-michael:
I missed. I missed.

Adam: No bodies, john.

John-michael: Are you serious?

Adam:
Come on! Come on! Come on!

John-michael:
I got to get a tape.

Adam: We're gonna
lose him right here.

Eric: John michael needs
to get a move on it.

None of us can afford to go
home without paychecks if the
season shuts down tomorrow.

There's your shot.

Adam: Come on!
Eric: Swivel's up.

John-michael: Can't see him.
Adam: Get him, john!

Eric: That's it.
He's on the dart.

Adam: Pull him up easy.
We got to stick him.

Eric: Tail rope!
Come on!

John-michael: Where the
hell's the other end at?

Eric: Oh, my god.

Eric: You just punched me.

Adam: Got his a*s! Woo! Yes!
Yes, yes, yes!

John-michael: A
cluster [bleep], buddy.

Eric: Bring him in.

Adam: Hey, short and sweet.

John-michael:
Short and sweet, yeah.

What a relief.
We got another one.

This could be our last
catch of the season.

Eric: He's a little
bigger than I thought.

Adam: Yeah.

John-michael: So, hopefully,
we get a great price
for this one and move

up the leaderboard.

Eric: We'll see what
he measures out.

John-michael:
Yeah. 89 and a half.

Adam: That'll work.
John-michael: Woo, baby!

Offshore outlaw, baby!

I'm tired of the
stress factor.

Dammit.

I wanna get on top
and stay on top.

Adam: I got it.

Adam [over radio]:
Hey, pinwheel.

Your days at the
top are numbered.

Tyler: Oh, god!

You better stand
back and get ready.

Tyler [over radio]:
We get ours no matter what.

John-michael: Wow.
I can't believe that.

Bobby: We've lost two fish,

it feels like
we've lost our groove.

Seems like
everything's gone wrong.

But you know what?
We're gonna start fresh.

Today is our day.

Brian: What's going on?
Bobby: We have no steering.

Brian: We're going in circles.

Bobby: Yo, drew!
Drew: Yo!

Bobby: Come on up.

Brian:
We got no steering or...

Bobby: Zero.
We're just going in circles.
Don't know what to do.

It's like the rudders
aren't attached, dude.

I'm exhausted.

Drew: Okay.
See if you still got pressure.

Bobby: All right. Yeah.
Just stay here.

Drew: Yeah.
Bobby: Sorry, brian.

No, we just, we
got issues, dude.

Brian: This isn't good.

We've already been
stranded once this season
'cause the boat broke down.

We absolutely cannot
have that happen again
when we need it the most.

[bleep] lost steering, and it
started doing loopdy-loops.

And every [bleep] bait that
I put out, I had all right,

is in a pile of [bleep]
on the ground right here.

Bobby, come here.

All our lines and
gear are tangled up.

Bobby: Should be going
straight now, dude.

Brian: What?

Bobby: Should be
straightened out now.

Brian: [bleep] destroyed
the whole spread, bro.

Bobby: No!

Brian: This sucks, man.
Money down the drain.

Bobby: There's a hole
in the hydraulic line.

There's a leak in
the air pressure of
our steering system.

We've lost our lead so
bad at this point 'cause

of one thing or
another knocking us down.

Our lives are at
stake if we can't steer home.

Haven't figured out
a fix for it yet, but
talk to drew and see what he

wants to put together.

That's my macgyver.
Let's see what he can do.

We might as well have
the rod in the water
while we figure it out.

John-michael: I'm tired.

Adam: Guess you can
sleep when you're dead.

Scott: What's up, guys?
Back again, huh?
Big one today?

Adam: Yeah.
He's got some good shape.

Scott: Not a lot
of quota left, so.

Adam: How many days do
you think we got, scotty?

Scott: Any day now.

How about we get it up?
You can check it out.

Adam: Yeah. Let's do it.

So what do we got, scott?

Scott: 275 pounds dressed.
John-michael: All right.

Scott: So how about we
take some tail cuts and
cores and check it out?

Adam: Let's do it.

Scott: All right, guys.
Good color. Greasy fish.

Definitely a lot
of fat in there.

How about we check
out the core?

Nice.

Adam: So what do
we got, scotty?

Scott: We're looking at...

$20 a pound.

John-michael: Yeah!

Adam: We may be tired and
beat down on offshore outlaw,

but we're gonna do
whatever it takes to get

up this leaderboard and
win this competition.

Let's do it again, fellas.
Time to turn and burn.

Steve: So the general
consensus is that a lot

of fish had been caught
with grass on the hooks.

Banks: Hell no.
That's amateur [bleep] there.

Steve: Not if we pull
through and you get a bite
before you can change 'em.

Reed: We're back out on
the water after putting a
new bilge pump in the boat.

The quota
hasn't filled up yet,

and there's still a little
bit of time to catch fish.

Steve: I ain't seeing [bleep].

Banks: Conjure one up for us.
Come on.

Reed: We are way behind,
so, if we don't catch soon,

our chances of winning
this thing are very low.

Banks: Kind of tough
fishing like this.

Can't see [bleep].

[beeping]

reed: Marking them.
Marking a herd at 100.

Banks: That's game on.
Steve: Let's do it.

Banks: See any grass go by?

Steve: He did.
Banks: There he is! We're on!

There we go!

Reed: C'mon baby.
Let him run, let him run.

Clear those lines.
Get them out of the way.

Banks: Whoa, doubleheader!
Doubleheader!

Reed: Doubled up.
We're on!

Banks: Hooked up, baby.
Hooked up.

Reed: Let him run.
Let him run.

[reel unspooling rapidly]

banks: Taking line.

Steve: Still taking
over here, reed.

Reed:
We're way out there. Woo!

Steve: Doubled up.
Reed: Woo!

All right. We're doubled up.

Tj: [bleep].
They don't [bleep] around.

Tyler: All right.
Where are these fish?

We got to find them.

Marciano:
Yeah. That's right.

Yeah.
Put us on the meat.

Reed [over radio]:
Yeah, I don't think so.

This could be our
last chance, boys.

Move that [bleep]-
what the [bleep]?

Reed: We're tripping
over [bleep] hoses.

Move the bucket.
[bleep] stupid [bleep].

Banks: Still taking line.

Reed: The pressure
is on right now.

We can't keep both fish,

but one big jumbo
could pull us ahead.

If we can hold on to
one of these bluefin,
the wanchese boat will be at

the top of the fleet
when this quota runs out.

Banks: Line's gone.
Reed: Let him go.

Maybe he'll get out
beyond the other one.

Phew. Boy. Oh, boy.

Hooking two at a time is
very dangerous, you know.

You got your lines
and your fish decide
to go cross each other,

it's game over.

Steve: There's some tension,

but I'm not sure if it's
a fish or mats of grass,

so, now, I'm tight.

I hope not tight with him.

Reed: Are the lines crossed?

Banks: All right.
Something just
changed with mine.

Steve: It's so tight.
I can't do much with it.

Banks: I think we're crossed!
I think we're crossed!

Might not be on here.

Banks: All right.
Something just
changed with mine.

Steve: It's so tight.
I can't do much with it.

Phew.

Banks: I think we're crossed.
I think we're crossed.
Might not be on here.

Reed: Steve's got the salad
bar hanging off his line.

Steve: I'm feeling something.

Reed: Might be all
that [bleep] grass.

Steve: Yeah, he came off.
Reed: So he's gone, huh?

Steve: I think so, yeah.

Reed: Do you
still have a fish?

Banks: Yeah.

Reed: All right.
We're definitely down to one.

Banks: Taking line.

Reed: I got to go
upstairs so I can actually
back up with some throttle.

Banks: I'm tired.

Reed: You only had
like 8,0000 yards out.

Let's go, banks.

Banks: Ah!

Steve: Give me
another 30 seconds.

One, two, three. Yeah.
That's a heavy one.

Reed: Good.
We need the weight.

Steve: Look at that bend.

There's a little
pinwheel on him.

Reed: Come on.

We do not use that
terminology here.

Steve: I mean, circle.

Banks: He did not say
what I think he did.

Reed: He did.

Steve: Oh, pay
attention to the fish.

Reed: Pinwheel.

Banks: Ooh.
Look at, there he is.

Deep color. Oh, god. Big boy.

Steve: I got him.
I got him.

Banks: Get ready to
put her in forward.

Reed: Put her in forward.
Banks: Coming around.

Reed: Making that
mad [bleep] run.

Swing it out, banks.

Banks: Bump it.
Reed: All right. Hold. Hold.

Hold him right there
and crank his a*s to me.

Banks: Here he comes.
Here he comes.

Take the shot.

Reed: Got him.
Steve, get the tail rope out.

Steve: Oh.

[inaudible].

Banks: Like that
[bleep] was breaking.

Reed: Uh, don't snatch, steve.

Wait till it's all in there.

Oh, boy [bleep].

Banks: Yeah! Woo! Thank you.
Steve: That is a large tuna.

Reed: We battled
breakdowns and setbacks,

and we still managed to get
a jumbo bluefin on the deck.

Banks: One, two, three.

Reed: This is the kind
of fish we needed right
here in the clutch.

This jumbo might
have just closed the
quota down by itself.

104. Pretty work, boys.

Banks: Yeah, baby!
Steve: Number one.

Reed: If we can get
a high enough price
for this prized fish,

I'm looking forward to the
kahuna winning this season.

Woo-hoo.

Just pulled a
jumbo on the deck.

104.

Adam: Pretty work
on your fish, man.

Tj: Oh, [bleep].

Zack: Them boys
nipping on our heels.

Tyler: Dammit.
It's gonna be a long day.

It may not be likely,
but I'm really hoping that we
get another shot at quota and

another extension 'cause the
race between the top six boats
right now is unbelievable.

The competition is fierce.

With only a few days
left to fish, they could
still do some damage.

Kahuna caught a
jumbo this morning,

and the last thing I
want to see is for them
to win this competition.

Reed: Kahuna is
headed to the top.

Drew: I think,
bobby, with speed,
we might be all right.

Brian, get rods in.

I need you to go back
up and steer for me.

We've got zero pressure.

I wanna make sure we've
got steering at full
speed to get back in.

Today, we've lost our
autopilot, pressurization
in the steering.

We can't find the leak.

So our air pressure and our
steering system is dropping
as fast as we can put it in.

Luckily it's a
quick easy repair.

We just have to get
it back to dock and I
can replace the valve.

Bobby: I'm just
gonna head for home.

I want, I want a leash
on all these rods.

My boat and my crew have been
to hell and back this season.

We just got to get
out here at this point
'cause we need to fix this

steering issue as
soon as possible.

We can only pray to
god the fishery extends
the quota so we have an

opportunity to dig ourselves
out of the hole we've created.

Wasn't our day.
Wasn't our day.

Let's get the
hell out of here.

Reed: Wanchese boys are back.

Banks: Just gonna
keep grinding until
the quota's full.

Reed: Mary, dennis.
Dennis: That looks pretty big.

Reed: Happy to have it.

Any announcements?

Mary: They might be trying
to get a little extra quota.

Reed: Hey, we'll take whatever
we can get at this point.

Dennis: Let's check it out.
Let's see what you got.

Reed: All right.

Rasta, outlaw, and pinwheel
have all caught fish that

put them in contention
for the top spot,

but we're hoping this
one tops all of them.

With the quota only
hours away from closing,

being in prime
position to leading the fleet

is right where we
wanna be right now.

Dennis, what's our weight?

Dennis: 526 pounds, man.

Reed: Nice.
That's better than I thought.

Mary: It's a beast.
Dennis: Nice fish.

Let's check it out.

Reed: All righty.

All right.

Dennis: Nice tail color.
Very nice red.
Nice greasy meat.

Let's see what the core
color looks like, mary.

Mary: Oh, wow.
That's beautiful.

Reed: Perfect.

Dennis: That's
beautiful core color.

Reed: Yes, it is.

Dennis: This is a
nice color fish.

That cherry lifesaver
red beaming out.

Nice clarity.

Reed: All right, dennis.

What's it gonna
be for this one?

Dennis: Beautiful color
fish with some fat...

$22 a pound.

Reed: Hey, man.
That's great. Very nice.

Dennis: Well done.

Reed: All right.
We'll see you
tomorrow hopefully.

Let's do it again.

Let's hope that puts the fleet
behind us once and for all.

Narrator: Kahuna's
jumbo catch lifts them

out of fourth place,
and pinwheel's high quality

fish keeps the northern
boat in the top three.

Meanwhile, offshore outlaw's

catch keeps them closely
behind the fleet's leaders.

And rasta rocket's
bluefin rockets the

young crew into the lead.

And with no bluefin,

reel e' bugging
drops from first to fifth.

Zack: We're in first
place right now.

We are pumped.

We're proving that we can
fish with the best of them.

And with this
new quota extension,

we're gonna push
even harder than ever to

extend our lead and
to win this competition.

Tj: Just headed out you
know, and, and we found out
they've added more quota,

which is great.

Keeps us in the hunt.

Most importantly, we have
a chance to make more money.

Got to make it happen, man.

Reed: We got the bonus of
additional quota transfer.

That should give us a
few more days of fishing.

And it's been a
really tight race,

so it gives us a good
chance to get caught up.

Bobby: You're happy
when we get more quota.

It means more work.

We're a beat-up crew,
but certainly worth it.

So we're just gonna
fish and fish and fish.

The only way they get the
title is if we give it up.

Tyler: They've definitely
said that this is the last

quota extension
we're gonna get,
so it's now or never.

Probably get about three
or four more days of fishing,

and we're gonna
make them count.

We ain't stopping until
a northern boat's on top.
