Nick: Hang on!
Narrator: The
infamous obx inlet...
Tyler: Hold on, merm.
Tj: This place is
unbelievable, man.
This place is absolute hell.
Narrator: Is a barrier
that can punish...
Cliff: Oh, god!
Hold on, boys.
Nick: Hang on.
Here comes another one.
Narrator:
Both captain and crew.
Tyler: Ain't nothing
better than riding waves.
Tj: Oh, that one
made my heart drop.
Narrator: But for
the tuna titans...
Dave: Another boat
blew out his windows.
Nick: Whoa.
Three windows out. Scary.
Narrator: There's no reward...
Jarrett: There we go! Woo!
We're on, boys.
Cliff: There goes the breaker!
Got him on!
Narrator: Without the risk.
Dave: We're taking a
big risk right here.
We lose this boat,
we lose this crew.
Tyler: I hope that
doesn't happen to us.
Narrator: This is...
Billon: Good lord.
Sandro: Stop, stop, stop, stop!
Tj: Guys, hang on. Hang on.
Dave: Oh, my god.
Holy.
Narrator:
Wicked tuna: Outer banks.
Tj: This bar is what
nightmares are made of.
Narrator: As fishing
intensifies, northern boats,
Hot tuna,
pinwheel and dot-com
Lead the southern fleet.
While local vessel
fishin' frenzy looks
For an opportunity to
regain the lead.
Greg: No dave, no tj,
no nick, no tyler.
They're all worried about
the weather tomorrow.
Billon: So this is our moment.
Greg: The best thing we
got going for us is there's
no one else is out here.
I feel like the only
chance we've got is to
get out here tonight,
Put her on a drift
And hopefully find a fish.
I guess I'm the only one in
the fleet who had that idea.
But it looks like
tomorrow morning, we
got a hard shift coming.
It's supposed to blow 25
to 30 early to mid-morning.
It's gonna really turn.
One of the biggest
challenges of fishing out of
oregon inlet is dealing with
The inlet and the ocean bar.
There's no question.
It's really not an
ideal place to fish.
It's known as the
graveyard of the atlantic
And it's not just
a name, it's true.
There's hundreds and
hundreds of shipwrecks
right here offshore.
Ships run aground, ships sink.
People die.
I know that tj,
dot-com, tyler, nick,
They're all worried about
the shift coming tomorrow.
If it comes early,
They're gonna get trapped
and it's really gonna be
A hell of a ride.
They would be very
hard-pressed to get
across that bar.
Billon: I feel like the
lone ranger out here.
This is one of those moments
where you either come in with
Your chest puffed out saying,
"I told you so,"
Or you come in with your
head down and they say,
"I told you so."
Dirty: School of
something just went, hey,
We got a whole
school of something.
Filefish under us.
About 40 of them right here.
See that?
Greg: Oh, yeah, good.
Yeah, yeah.
Billon: Bait, baby.
Dirty: Look at that. Woo.
Greg: Marking all the porpoise
out there at, like, 35 fathom.
Billon: Hey, buddy.
That's what I wanna see.
Tunas are right under 'em.
Greg: Yup. There they are.
They're down there at 40.
[beeping]
I marked 'em at 40 again.
[beeping]
Billon: Wait, wait.
[reel clicking]
[reel unspooling rapidly]
Dirty: By the balloon.
Greg: We're on! Yeah!
Billon: All right!
That's what we've
been waiting for.
Got him on the rod.
Here I come to save the day.
Woo.
Dirty: It's gonna be a tuna.
Billon: It's a tuna.
I think that's the one.
[reel unspooling]
Dirty: Wow, sounds
like a real one there.
Billon: Yeah. Slow down.
Greg: That's why we
came out here today.
Everyone else is
sitting at the dock.
We needed one fish to tie up,
now we got him on.
Nobody else is willing to
come out here and, and we did.
Billon:
Seems to be settling down
now which is what we want.
Greg: I think he
burned himself out.
Billon: God, I hope so.
Dirty: Evil.
What dreams are made of.
Greg: Is that it right there?
Billon: Top shot.
Greg: That's top shot?
Billon: Yep.
Greg: Coming right up.
Dirty: The weight's
right there.
Greg: We don't get
moments like this often.
We're the only game in town.
It's crucial that we don't
make a mistake here that
would cost us this fish.
Billon: Wait, wait, wait.
Get him on the next one.
Greg: Drill him!
Hit him! Harpoon him!
Woo.
Billon: Get a gaff!
Dirty: Got his tail.
Left side of me.
Come on, baby.
Greg: Lift him up and up.
Lift him up. Lift him up.
Okay.
Billon: Got it?
Greg: Got him. Woo!
That was a good call.
Billon: It's coming
at you, are you ready?
Greg: I should wake up dot-com
right now and let him know.
Billon: Call 'em.
Greg: Good decision boys.
Billon: Yeah.
Dirty: Now we're gonna do like
the gold rush and head west.
Billon: Awesome.
Dirty: The champ, dude.
Greg: Are we ready?
Billon: One, two, three.
Dirty: One, two three.
Billon: Damn, he grew too!
Greg: Fish number nine.
Billon: Nice.
Dirty: I'll tell you what,
he's a fat hundred.
Greg: 101 and half. Woo.
Billon: All right.
Greg: Here it is,
We got one wrapped
up going home.
The rest of them, they're
gonna struggle to get out.
Man [over radio]:
The following is
a wind advisory for
Hatteras island in
northern outer banks.
North winds 25 to 35
miles per hour with gusts
up to 50 miles per hour.
Nick: It's gonna
be a rough bar.
Oh, boy.
It kind of got me nervous.
The oregon inlet is
like an obstacle course.
First you pass through very
shallow waters in the channel.
Then you approach the sandbar
where the outgoing tide
meets the atlantic ocean.
Here, the northeast
winds help to create
Huge breaking waves that
will as*ault your boat.
You just pray that you
cross with your crew intact.
Growing up here and
fishing this graveyard
of the atlantic,
You know as my homeport,
It definitely gives
me a little edge.
Uh, maybe I'm a little braver.
Nick: Maybe a little stupider.
But either way, I'm
gonna push the envelope.
We heard over a radio
that a boat blew out its
windows this morning.
Whoa. That's him.
Three windows out.
Ugh. Scary.
All right.
Here we go, boys.
Cliff: All right.
Let's watch for our holes.
Let her eat.
Nick: Going up here.
Cliff: All right. Ooh.
Watch the next one.
Nick: Hang on.
Cliff: Oh. Oh, god.
Hold on, boys.
Nick: Hang on.
Here comes another one.
Okay.
Cliff: Yes, boys. Yeah!
If that don't get your
heart pumping, nothing does.
Nick: I fully respect
the bar, the ocean.
You'd be a fool not to.
And that bar scares me
and I grew up around it,
So the northern
boats they're gonna
Struggle, bottom line.
I don't think them other boys
are gonna be racing out here.
Cliff: There ain't
gonna be no way.
Tyler: All right, mermy.
The bar's gonna be
nasty this morning.
One guy blew his windows out.
His mate hit his head
and needs stitches.
Marissa: Oh, no.
Tyler: You could add up
all the stress I have coming
and going in and out of
Gloucester harbor and
It doesn't even equal half of
one trip out of oregon inlet.
All right, merm,
let's roll out.
This is no joke driving
around that inlet and
dealing with the bar.
It's not a game.
It's not fun,
It's the only time for
me where it's like a no-fun
zone on the pinwheel is
When we got to deal with
bad conditions at the bar.
Let's go do this, merm.
It's gonna be probably
one of the sketchiest
bar crossings we've had.
It's gonna be hawaii 5-0.
Jarrett: I think the bar
might be a little iffy,
So we're gonna make
sure we get the rain-x
On the windows and make
sure tj can see out of them.
Tj: Just pulled out
of wanchese harbor.
As you can see, it's still,
You know, 20 and gusty
northeast and the bar's
Breaking all the way across.
So we're kind of
waiting 'til daylight,
Some guys got out last
night and took a chance
And but they got across
luckily but myself,
Dot-com,
and the pinwheel,
We're all going now.
We're all going
with the flow,
We're gonna try
and get the best possible
conditions across that bar,
But this bar is what
nightmares are made of.
You know,
we got a beautiful boat,
Beautiful equipment and,
you know, at any moment
Crossing this bar,
you can destroy everything.
It's a widow-maker
and we're gonna try to
get across safely today.
Dave: Everybody have
their lifejacket on or no?
Sandro: Yeah.
Dave: Put these on.
This bar scares me.
Besides the waves that
can sink your boat,
You have to worry about
the sand beneath you
That you can run aground on.
Four feet, no water, low tide.
There's the dredge working,
there's no water here,
So they got to move the
mud out so it's passable.
[thud]
Sandro: The [bleep]?
Dave: Here we go more damage.
[bleep].
Sandro: Yeah, we just kissed
the bottom there and hopefully
that's the only hiccup.
Dave: We're taking
a big risk right here.
We lose this boat,
lose this crew.
There it is.
That's what we're going
through, right there.
Dave [over radio]:
We just bumped bottom
coming up on the bar now.
Tj: Good luck. Be careful.
Tyler: Dot-com ran aground.
He sounds nervous.
Get up in here.
It's definitely gonna be big.
It's gonna be burly.
Tyler: Woo!
He needs to watch
the sets coming in.
And you really just
wanna wait for the lull.
Dave: You guys good with this?
Sandro: Up to you, man.
Tyler: If you feel like
you're vibing with the inlet,
[bleep] hammer down
and get through there.
That's all you can do.
Dave: Well, I'm insured.
Tyler: You gotta use speed.
You gotta use finesse.
You just don't want
one to come down on you.
I hope that doesn't
happen to us.
Dave: Not good.
Jarrett: What'd dot-com say?
He's like right in the
middle of it right now.
Tj: He's not in it yet.
He's just coming up on it.
Jarrett: He's sitting
there looking at it, huh?
Dave: It's not looking pretty.
Another boat blew
out its windows.
Paul: I'd rather him
wait than be nervous.
Sandro: Yeah.
Dave [over radio]:
That's it. It's not worth it.
We came out,
it's all for ourselves.
It's just the
waves are bigger than
the bridge of this boat.
Tj: It's just gonna be one
of those things where you
take your chance and g*n it.
And if you get stuck
in it gunning it,
You know what I mean,
that's when you get hurt.
We're headed towards
the bar and dave's decided
he wants to turn around,
You know,
my stomach's in a knot,
But I can't afford
to not take a shot at
this point of the race.
Tj [over radio]: We're
just gonna go for it, you know,
We've got to try.
Dave: That's just pure
stupidity and recklessness.
Jarrett: You got this, buddy.
You got it. You got it, man.
Take your time.
Tj: The whole time,
all you can think of is
just picking the right set.
If you don't pay
attention and you get caught
in a bad set of waves,
It's game over.
Hang on.
Jarrett: You got it.
Tj: Hang on.
Hang on, guys hang on.
Hang on. Hang on.
Jarrett: Whoa.
Jarrett: You got it this, buddy.
You got it.
Tj: I don't care
how salty you are.
Every time you
approach that bar,
You've got a feeling in
your gut of uncertainty.
If you pick
the wrong set and you get
caught up in them waves,
You could be in real trouble.
Hang on.
Jarrett: You got it.
Tj: Hang on. Hang on, guys.
Hang on. Hang on. Hang on.
Jarrett: Careful. Careful.
You got it, bud. You're good.
Nice work, buddy.
You got it.
Tj: Oh, that one made
my heart drop, bro.
Jarrett: I've been,
you know, in the,
Probably seven years
I've down here with you,
That's probably the
biggest wave we ever took.
Tj: Oh.
Holy [bleep].
This place is
unbelievable, man.
This place is absolute hell.
We took one good one
at the end there.
Oh.
Marissa: Tj sounds shaken up.
Tyler: Oh, boy.
She's burly.
She's looking
burly this morning.
We're getting ready
where it's now or never,
You're either going to
attempt to get over the bar
or you're gonna turn around.
Buckle up, put your
hard hat on and get ready.
Oh, boy.
Hang on for it.
Hold on, merm.
Holy [bleep].
Tyler: That's a nice one.
Tyler: One more
we're in there.
We got out.
Marissa: Woo!
Tyler: Can't believe
dot-com didn't come.
Dot-com's too scared.
I love it.
I love it.
Ain't nothing better
than riding waves, bro.
Dot-com's a phenomenal
fisherman up north,
But he doesn't have any
confidence fishing down here
Because he's got to
figure it out for himself.
And the only way to learn
how to cross the bar and how to
Read the weather windows is
to get up there and try and
Do it every single day.
Dave: Not worth it.
Not worth the risk.
Greg: We're a little late.
We knew the wind was
coming so we idled in.
Dot-com's a [bleep].
He's intimidated by the bar.
Dirty: Hey, you know
what we're gonna do,
Put the flag on his boat
and write sucks on it.
Greg: Here she comes.
Mary: How's it going today?
Greg: It's going.
Mary: I'm a little surprised
to see you guys here today
With a fish.
Greg: At this point
of the season,
We had to do something.
I wasn't just gonna
sit at the dock.
Mary: I know y'all
are in it to win it.
Greg: If you wanna
compete, you better play.
Billon: Beautiful.
Nice fat one for you.
Greg: We took a chance, got
lucky and caught a fish.
Every year we've been one
of the top boats here,
And one of the
top money earners.
We're not ready to quit yet.
Nice fish.
How big is it?
Mary: 466 pounds dressed.
Greg: It's not bad.
Mary: It's a big old fish.
Billon: Worth the gamble.
Greg: The buyers are
looking for good color,
Good fat content and
a really clear core.
If we've got a good quality
fish here it could put us
Right back in the lead.
Mary: Here it is, guys.
It's got some fat in it.
Honestly, the tail color
is not that impressive.
It's not that red.
Kind of brownish tint to it.
Dirty: I think there's
something on your glasses.
Mary: Let's see the core.
Oh, that's pretty good.
Dirty: Beautiful.
Greg: Glistening.
Billon: I mean, look at that.
Mary: Yeah. The core is
much more red than the tail.
It's still a really nice fish.
So I'm gonna say...
$15 a pound.
Billon: All right.
We'll take that.
That's a great average.
Greg: Not a bad
average this year.
Billon: Yeah.
Greg: Thanks, mary.
Mary: You're very welcome.
Glad it paid off.
Greg: Money in the bank.
Billon:
I like it. We'll take it.
Tyler: Lp is
definitely going out.
One rod, one electric rod.
Marissa: Big huge
marks coming up.
Tyler: How deep?
Marissa: Uh, 30.
Tyler: We're out here.
We're grinding.
We're doing everything we can
trying to catch a fish and
It's just been
tough fishing today.
Can't control
what happens now.
I just know I need
to get a fish badly.
Marissa: We're all done
trolling for the day.
We're bringing everything in
so we can start a drift for
The night.
We're marking 'em
pretty good down deep,
So hopefully tonight we can
get 'em on the drift and we
Can get our baits
down deep enough.
Tyler: A lot of
fish down deep,
So I'm gonna use
my electric reel.
Because the fish
are down really, really deep...
wanna reel up from that deep.
I've got to admit, that a lot
of the local boats have a huge
Advantage over us when it
comes to crossing the bar.
But the deep rod is going to
level the playing field for
The pinwheel.
When we're fishing
the outer banks,
Sometimes we're in 3,000,
And these
fish are living down there.
So if we drop down to 'em, we
don't have to wait for the few
Times a day when they
come to the surface.
We're gonna get 'em, watch.
[reel unspooling rapidly]
We're on! Yes!
The right one!
Woo-hoo!
Definitely a tuna.
Tuna at 400 feet.
Look at him go.
We really need this one.
This is the big bite
we're looking for.
Got 'em on. Yes!
Look at the mark on
the screen, it's him!
Marissa: This is a really
nice addition to the pinwheel.
It makes it really easy for
us not to have to crank it,
All this line in because
we're really at the bottom
Of the ocean here.
Tyler: 600 feet.
Crazy. This is crazy.
Hooking 'em down that deep.
Oh, we got 'em on, dude.
On the lp, this is sick.
Look at him down.
He's going down and dirty.
Down and dirty.
Let's get this one.
I'm taking the
drag off a little bit.
Holy [bleep]. Holy [bleep].
[bleep], merm.
Marissa: He's spooling us.
Tyler: Stay right
on there, merm.
I don't want that line
to get under the boat.
Stay right on that rod.
Guide it around.
A lot can go wrong.
We don't know
what we're doing.
This is new to us.
Fishing with this electric
reel, there's a lot of power.
I mean, we're coming
up really, really deep.
We're using really
heavy weights to get
the baits down deep.
So there's a lot of
pressure on this line.
We could break one
off at any second.
Oh, he's hammering us.
Come on, tuna gods.
Let us get this.
Marissa: Tyler.
Tyler: What happened?
Marissa: Is he
going under the boat?
Tyler: What happened?
Where's my tuna?
Where the [bleep] is my tuna?
Oh, no!
Come on, tuna gods.
Let us get this.
Marissa: Tyler.
Tyler: What happened?
Marissa: Is he going
under the boat?
Tyler: What happened?
Where's my tuna?
Oh, no.
Tyler: All right. Good.
That slowed him down
just a little bit.
We got to get this
fish quick, merm,
So we can get in
before the cutoff.
Marissa: We're
cutting it close here.
Tyler: This is getting scary.
He still got a lot
of fight though.
Marissa: He's coming up.
Tyler: Right now it's 8:00.
If we can get this
fish in the boat in
the next 15, 20 minutes,
We're gonna have
a very good shot at getting in
Before the 12:00 deadline and
us being tied up going into a
Level playing field tomorrow,
god-willing.
All we wanna do right now is
get this fish across the bar,
And get back to the
dock before midnight.
If we get this thing up here,
we don't have any time to
Play, a little bump.
Good, good.
Deep color.
Time is of the
essence right now.
Marissa: Oh. Big bluefin.
Blue big bluefin.
Tyler: Let's go!
Merm on the rod.
Hit the button,
hit the button.
Come on, come on.
We need this one.
Marissa: Woo!
Tyler: All right.
Get the tail gaff.
Tail gaff. Tail gaff. Tail rope.
Get him, get him.
He's ours. Woo!
Hell, yeah! Woo!
Marissa: Nice, tyler.
This is an awesome night bite.
Tyler: Oh. Woo!
We got a night bite,
we got to get in.
Let's go, we gotta
bring him aboard right now.
Marissa: All right.
Tyler: I don't even have
time to celebrate, merm.
We just got to get it in.
Merm and I will have to move
as fast as we have ever moved
To get this fish on board
and into the harbor.
We got a fish.
We got to get in there.
We got to get this
thing in there.
Marissa: We have
three and half hours
to make it to the dock.
Tyler: We've got
to make it in.
All right, merm.
Boom up.
Woo! Nice tuna.
Marissa: Woo!
That's a bluefin.
Tyler: Nice bluefin. 84.
Marissa: All right.
We'll take it.
Tyler: Perfect.
We got to turn tail,
get the hell out of here.
We're getting on this course.
We got to get going.
We got to get on
our way to the dock.
We should be able to
get in before midnight but
It all depends on the bar.
This could be the
difference right here.
This fish, we got
to get out of here.
Marissa: Pinwheel, baby.
Tyler: See if we can get
in there before midnight.
Just got to get
in over the bar.
Just made it
through the bridge.
It's gonna be close.
We might not make it.
I mean, the tide's
going against us,
So we can't make as much
speed as we would like,
But hopefully we make it.
Just keep on steerin'.
Yes!
Cinderella got home
before midnight.
Mary: Way to go.
Hidey h*, team pinwheel.
Tyler: Hey, we made
it just by minutes.
We grinded ourselves
back into it.
We're really stoked.
Mary: Well, let's see
what you got today.
Tyler: Luckily, conditions on
the bar were good and we were
Able to get back into
the buyer safely.
What's it's dressed, mary?
Mary: 258 pounds dressed.
Tyler: Perfect.
Some meat right there.
All right, let's
check this thing out.
Mary: Let's do it.
All right. Well, this
has got a beautiful color.
And not a lot of fat,
you know, showing up a
Little bit here
and the meat does feel greasy.
Let's see with the core.
Very, very nice.
Tyler: Oh, merm.
Mary: All right.
So moment of truth.
I do like the meat.
It is a little bit sticky.
$15 a pound.
Tyler: Awesome.
Marissa: We'll take that.
Tyler: Stoked about that.
That's a solid price.
Mary: All right.
Tyler: You know, that's
definitely what we needed.
We're gonna go turn and burn.
Later.
Marissa: Bye, mary.
Tyler: My decision-making in
the outer banks this season
Is very clear.
I'm here to fish.
If some other boat in this
marina decides to fire up its
Engines and go out
and give it a go,
Merm and I going with them.
Because we're not gonna let
anyone in the fleet gain an
Edge on the pinwheel.
We did it, merm.
We did it.
Dave: Let's get this
bar done and over.
Sandro: Yeah! Sweet.
Dave: Yes.
Usually it's the last
ones that get you.
Paul: I'm holding the roof up.
Dave: Well, we did
everything right today.
We took our time, went later.
You guys got your
big boy pants on?
You know, we lost a day after
turning around at the bar but
We're out today.
I'm happy how I've approached
all my decisions so far down
Here in the outer banks.
It doesn't come without,
you know, going out each day
Or coming in each day
with a side of caution.
That's the way
it is down here.
Sandro: Let's go catch a tuna.
Dave: Yes.
Paul: A drag 'em tuna.
We drag 'em right
into the door.
Greg [over radio]:
How about it, dot-com?
Come in.
Dave: Yes, sir. Go ahead.
Greg [over radio]:
Where were you yesterday?
Plenty good fishing.
Dave: At the dock
where we belong.
Brandan: Ah. Well...
Greg: If you've fished around
here a little bit more,
You'd probably be a little
more confident than you are.
Greg [over radio]: Unless
you're down here to play.
We made it out here
and tied it up.
Tj: Dave's a competitive guy
and there's probably no one
More competitive in
this fleet than dave.
He's a good fisherman,
but I would have to say this
Place definitely
intimidates him.
I mean, between the
bar and the bridge and,
It's a tough place to fish.
You know, he's scared.
There's no doubt about
it and he should be.
Tim: Gettin' jiggy with it?
Jarrett: Working on it.
Tim: Come on, let's knock one
out of the park here.
Tj: You know we were
at the top of the pack,
Now it's really anyone's game.
I mean, if there was ever
a day we needed a nibble,
Today's the day
we need a nibble.
We just got to pray that
mr. Charlie's out there and he
Wants a dancing bear.
Tim: A couple of
pilot whales around.
That's a good sign.
They usually mix right
in with the tuna fish.
Eat the same bait also.
Paul: What's that?
Sandro: I think those
are pilot whales.
Paul: Pilot whales!
Dave: Pilot whales? All right.
[beeping]
Oh, man. Stacked!
Look at this.
Coming back, boys.
Yeah, I got a stack
We're gonna get 'em.
Tim: Hopefully there
will be some tunas
here mixed in with them.
Jarrett's trying
to jig one up now.
Awesome fish around us.
Just waiting for our turn.
Tj: Today we really could use,
catch one while some of these
Other guys struggle.
There's a markup high.
I don't know if it's two tones
or what, but a high mark.
Tim: Oh, yeah,
jarrett's marking.
Show us some love.
Jarrett: Try and get these
baits back out, get a bite,
Hook up and keep it.
Tj: Come on, baby.
Oh, my god, dude.
[beeping]
[tension snap]
Jarrett: There we go.
Got a hit. Is he on?
Tim: No, no, no.
Tj: Was it him?
Jarrett: Something's on there.
Here we go. Live action. Woo!
We're on, boys!
Tj: We're on, baby!
Greenstick. Woo!
Jarrett: Here we go.
Live action.
Tj: We're on, baby!
Greenstick.
Jarrett: Woo! Back drop.
Tim: Jarrett, coming at you.
Jarrett: We just had something
come up break the breaker but,
You never know.
Tj: The fish isn't
taking a ton of line.
He's not making a
big screaming run.
Tim: Yeah, it's got a little
bit of weight to him, yeah.
He's got the rig down so...
He's pulling pretty good.
Tj: But he's starting to take
a little bit of line right now,
So I'm praying it's bluefin.
Jarrett: I feel a little
bit of weight on there.
Tim: Yeah, right?
Jarrett: Yeah.
Tj: We need a bluefin
to stay in this race.
Jarrett: 73-incher,
that's all we need.
Tj: You see him?
Jarrett: I feel him.
I don't see him.
What is it?
Tim: Nice odd fish.
Jarrett: Looks like a bigeye.
Tim: Yeah, yeah.
Throw it in the head, yeah.
Yeah, it's a [bleep] eye.
Tj: Get in, girls. Get in.
Tim: That's din-din there, baby.
Jarrett: I know, yeah.
Tim: Din-din.
Tj: Just need our bluefin now.
Bigeye.
Tim: Mr. Bigeye, you picked
the wrong squid to [bleep] with.
Jarrett: Yeah, you
ain't kidding there.
Tj: Bigeye.
Paul: Sandro's getting
aggravated right now.
He needs a bite.
Paul: My buddy needs a bite.
Paul: It's a very
unsettling feeling,
Knowing you missed
yesterday and it was
a real good day of fishing.
Sandro: I don't know.
Dave: It's a roll of the
dice, I mean, you know,
It could be
anywhere, you know.
You just, you run
them over in there,
I mean I've been
running them over.
Paul: Dave's feeling like
he needs to catch up.
He doesn't like to
be behind anybody.
That's what drives him,
is winning.
He always wants to win.
Dave: Uh-oh.
Here's a streaker. Woo!
Let's get the show
on the road here.
We got a lot of
catching up to do.
Zack: Should be right on
time for the morning bite.
Hopefully we're gonna set out
right on top of their heads
And get lucky.
In our little boat,
we weren't able to cross
the bar yesterday.
We're in second to last place.
It's tremendous pressure.
We have to prevail, you know,
there's nothing we can do but
Fight right now.
Daniel and shane's
rigging us up.
We just need our
sun up troller bite.
Brandan: Did the rocket make it?
Nick: Yup. They made it.
Brandan: We're
gonna get us a fish.
Cliff: Oh. We're
gonna catch a fish or
We're gonna give
him hell trying anyway.
Nick [over radio]:
Good morning, rocket,
nice to see you out here.
Zack [over radio]: Thanks, man.
You been seeing anything?
Nick [over radio]: We've been
marking them all through here.
Let's try and get a couple.
Zack [over radio]:
Let's catch 'em up.
Nick: I feel bad for
the rasta rocket crew.
They can't get out of the
inlet like the rest of us
Because of the size
of their vessel.
If we can help them set up and
find a place to catch fish,
We will.
Zack: Let's try
to land on them.
Nick: Hey, there's a mark.
Go jig it.
Brandan: Stretching.
Oh, god. Don't do that.
Nick: Brandan, do
your yoga poses.
Brandan: I really got
to get ready, guys.
That's the whole thing.
We ain't getting pumped up.
Nick: Here they come.
Here they come.
Get it hopping as
high as you can.
Jig up!
Good mark. Good mark.
Zack: Come on, baby.
That's a mark.
That ain't the real big
boomerang marks that we like,
But there's
something in the area.
If anything, we got
to get bit anytime.
Now we're around the fish.
[reel unspooling rapidly]
Fish on! Fish on, baby.
Stay on, baby.
Please, lord.
Zack: Come on, baby.
We need you.
This could be our last chance.
You keep tight, daniel.
Daniel: We're on! Yeah, baby!
That's what I'm talking about.
[barking]
Zack: Minnie,
hush, baby, hush.
We're down and tight
right this second.
We got 'em on this morning.
Daniel: Yeah,
that's a real one if we
can keep him on there.
Zack: He took a lot of line.
He's being really crazy.
Daniel: We don't
wanna lose him.
[beeping]
Nick: There he is. There he is.
We got him on.
[tension snap]
Cliff: There's the breaker!
Got him on!
Nick: Tight right here.
Good marks.
We're on! Yeah, baby! Hooked up!
Cliff: That's what
I'm talking about.
Let's get this fish. Woo!
We need this fish.
How does it feel to you, nick?
Nick: It's definitely a tuna.
Ain't no doubt about it.
If we land this fish,
we'll be tied.
We ain't got him yet,
so we can't count [bleep].
Easy, easy now.
He's pulling real hard.
Here comes the drop, brandan.
Zack: He on there?
Daniel: Oh, I don't think so.
He took a lot of line.
Zack: Still on the line?
Daniel: Don't know.
Zack: Damn.
Daniel: Shane,
come reel for a sec.
Daniel: Did you feel the line?
[bleep]!
Zack: Come on, baby.
We need you.
Daniel: Oh, I don't think so.
Zack: Damn.
Daniel: Shane,
come reel for a sec.
Daniel: Did you feel the line?
[bleep]!
Zack: Come on, baby.
We need you.
[barking]
Daniel: Hush, minnie.
Zack: He pulled off.
That was the real deal.
He took out a lot of
line on a morning bite.
It was the right
fish for sure.
There's our rig right here.
We got everything back.
We just, hook
pulled out of him.
Just one of them things.
Put 'em back out
and get another bite.
That's all we can do.
Daniel: Should have known
it was too good to be true.
Maybe next time.
Zack: Yeah. Maybe next time.
Cliff: Talk to me, nick.
Nick: Just stay
like you're doing.
Nervous.
Got to get this one.
Brandan: Anything could go
wrong in the next few minutes.
Nick: If we don't get this one,
we'd fall behind.
Start behind, you stay behind.
Which one is that, brandan?
That seven?
He should be on the
next one, right?
I see him down there.
Deep color.
Right now, this fish is
digging and diving deep.
I'm gonna have to hand-line
him in to try to help him along.
Freaking out a
little bit just,
But he's really wild and
very hard to control.
I'm not just worried
about losing him.
This fish could pull me
overboard if I'm not careful.
Cliff: I can't see the fish,
just talk to me.
Nick: Take your time.
Go real slow, cliff.
Got, got to get this one.
Cliff: Just talk to me, nick.
I'm gonna try to
keep bumping it just to
get ahead of that ball.
Nick: Get ready, brandan.
Cliff: Talk to me.
Nick: Hit him, brandan.
Nice, nice. Tail gaff.
Get him, tail gaff him, brandan.
Stick him somewhere.
No, no, no.
Right up under the chin.
Cliff: Tail rope. Tail rope.
All right. Yeah.
Nick: Holy [bleep], he
was mean on that leader,
I was scared he was
gonna pull me in.
It was the yoga.
It was brandan's
yoga that he did.
Cliff: All right.
Nick: Get this thing
pointed home, man.
When the inlet's rough, you're
gonna go see that I'm gonna do
Anything for my family and
these other two families that
I'm supporting on here too.
Cliff: There, it spun out.
Hold on. Hold on.
Hold on. Hold on.
Brandan: Yeah. Dammit.
Whipped my a*s.
Nick: I'd go in a canoe if
I thought that's the only way
We'd get 'em.
Get a measurement on him.
Cliff: All right.
Woo-hoo!
Nick: Sleepy time.
Nick: Boys, I think
we're back in the game.
Yeah, boys.
Cliff: What's up, scotty?
Scott: What's going on, guys?
You got one, huh?
Nick: Took a little
longer this time.
You give us good money
for this, we can be ahead.
Scott: Hopefully
the quality is good.
Let's get it up, man.
We'll check it out.
Cliff: All right.
Fishing on the outer banks
in the winter is hard.
And anybody that
tells you otherwise hasn't
done it very often.
We've grown up doing this,
crossing that bar.
You know, we're a little
bit more used to it,
So we're not as
scared of it as some of the
boats that come around.
We use it to our advantage
and get in and out when
they won't.
Nick: Scotty, what
we got, buddy?
Scott: 327 pounds dressed.
Nick: Good job.
Take a look at him?
Scott: Let's check it out.
Nick: Let's do it.
Scott: All right, guys.
A little bit on
the skinny side.
Color's got a lot
of rainbow in it.
Nick: Oh, man.
Scott: Let's check
out the core.
Well, a little light here.
There's really not a
lot of fat in this fish.
Bottom line.
Nick: How much, scotty?
Scott: $8 a pound.
Brandan: Okay.
Nick: Damn.
It wasn't quite the price we
were hoping we were hoping for,
But in the end,
it's a fish, it's money,
And we've proven we
can catch the numbers.
We just haven't had the size
or the prices to put us on top.
Might just take this
one home and eat it.
All right, dude.
Well, thank you.
Scott: All right, you guys.
See you later.
Cliff: Thank you.
Nick: All right. You boys ready?
We crossed the bar for that?
Paul: Very slow fishing.
Dave: It is.
Hopefully one bends
over here soon.
Sandro: Where the
hell are the fish?
Dave: I know that
missing time on the
water definitely has cost us.
We're now trailing frenzy,
pinwheel, and little shell.
Paul: We're gonna get a bite.
Dave: We need one really
bad to stay in this thing.
Sandro: Let's do this.
Let's get home.
Dave: Come on, "payday".
Let's get a bite.
[beeping]
There we go.
There we go.
Those are marks.
Pair right there.
Sandro: Come up and eat.
Come on.
Dave: Come on.
There's two of them.
They're following us,
these fish right here.
Sandro: We got fish busting.
Here they are.
Paul: Oh, yeah.
Now we're talking.
Dave: One of these
has got to bite.
Come on, come on, come on.
[reel unspooling rapidly]
Sandro: Finally. Line. Finally.
Dave: We're on!
Paul: Yeah, baby.
Dave: Got 'em on
the rod and reel.
We got 'em on, 671.
Greg: Dot-com's got a fish
on right here on my bow.
Dave's a great fisherman.
As long as he's out here,
he's gonna get a bite.
It's kind of a
humbling experience.
Dirty: He wants it, dude.
Sandro: Hooked up, baby.
Hooked up. Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo.
Got 'em on. [bleep] screaming.
Dave: Yeah.
He's dumping it.
Sandro: Damn.
This is the real deal here.
Dave: Wow.
One big fish could
close the gap, guys.
Paul: He's still going?
Dave: Yeah.
Sandro: Yeah.
Paul: Oh, yeah.
When it's your turn,
it's your turn.
And that's that.
Paul: Yeah, baby.
Sandro: [bleep] screaming.
Dave: One big fish could
close the gap, guys.
Paul: He's still going?
Sandro: Yeah.
Dave: Yeah.
Paul: Oh, yeah.
When it's your turn, it's
your turn and that's that.
Dave: It's cold, "payday".
Paul: Oh, it's freezing out.
Dave: How's that feel, sanchi?
Sandro: Feels good.
Dave: Nice job, sandro.
Sandro: This fish is crazy.
You just got to chill.
Dave: We got probably
like 400 feet to go.
Yeah, yeah, he's close.
Sandro: Yeah, he's close.
Paul: He's close.
Dave: Yeah.
After what's happened
the last couple of days,
Catching crap from
the rest of the guys.
Catching a fish and especially
a big one would definitely
Shut some of their mouths.
Nice color right there.
There he is.
Sandro: Where is he going?
Paul: Oh, I hate
when they do that.
Dave: We had color.
I can't believe it.
Sandro: Smartened up,
saw the boat and said,
"screw you. See you later."
Down and dirty now.
Paul: 150.
Dave: Give him
some heat, sandro.
Paul: There you go.
Dave: Coming right up, buddy.
Color. I got color again.
Paul: Straight ahead, dave.
Straight ahead.
Dave: Get the harpoon.
Get the harpoon.
Sandro: [bleep] that [bleep].
Dave: Nice harpoon shot,
"payday".
Paul: Get that gaff.
We can't let him get away.
Get him, dave.
Dave: I don't have,
I don't got him.
Paul: Get the other gaff.
Sandro's got it.
Yeah. All right.
Dave: You got it, sandro?
All right. Yeah.
Paul: Where's the tail rope?
Sandro: Behind you, paul.
Behind you.
That's a big [bleep] fish.
Yeah, baby!
Dave: Yeah.
Sandro: Wow.
That's a big-a*s fish dave.
Dave: I'm gonna
start heading home.
That's what I'm talking about.
Sandro: Holy [bleep], is he big?
Dave: See ya later.
Greg: Unreal. Unreal.
Dave: Ready to pull him in?
Paul: Yeah.
Sandro: Yeah. Let's go.
Paul: Wait a minute.
Wait, wait. Whoa.
Sandro: Is he big?
Dave: Oh, my god.
Paul: Shut the door.
Dave: Holy [bleep].
Sandro: He's a [bleep] slobo.
Dave: Oh, my god.
Look at the size of him.
He's big.
Sandro: Yeah. I know.
Dave: I'm doing it
my way, you know.
We fought against
the other boats,
Saying we were too cautious.
But we stuck it out,
we caught our fish
and we're doing what we do.
Paul: Let's measure him.
Dave: All right. Here we go.
Oh, my god.
Paul: What, huh?
Dave: 116.
Paul: 116. Happy birthday.
Sandro: That's a slob.
That's huge slob.
Paul: That's a real tuna.
Look at the birds,
they love it.
Dave: This could be a
comeback fish right here.
We're a contender now
and they counted us out.
Sandro: What's up, scott?
Scott: What's going on, man?
Sandro: We got
a jumbo for you.
Dave: Scott.
Scott: How big was it?
Dave: 116 inches.
Scott: Unreal, man.
Dave: We needed this fish.
Scott: I mean, we got to get
this thing up so I can see it.
Dave: The bottom line is, I
didn't wanna go out the other
Day with the bar
as bad as it was.
I'm a fisherman.
I take calculated risks.
Paul: Yeah.
Dave: We did what we had
to do and we got a fish.
There's a lot of boats out
there today with no fish.
We're happy with that.
What you got, scott?
Scott: 563 pounds dressed.
Paul: Nice-sized fish.
Sandro: Big.
Scott: Let's check it out.
All right.
Well, really skinny fish.
Dave: Uh-hmm.
Scott: Luckily, the color
is somewhat consistent.
Maybe even a little
bit of fat in here,
But I think it all
depends on this core.
See what we got.
Dave: Let it out, be gentle.
Paul: This ain't going
to japan for sure.
Scott: No.
Dave: I mean, we know it's
not the best fish we've had.
What do you think?
Scott: I mean, bottom line
for this fish right here,
Dave: Okay.
Paul: We'll take it.
Dave: Yeah.
I'll take that all day.
That's all right.
That's fair, that's for sure.
Scott: Hey, it's a fish.
Dave: Unfortunately, the
fish as big as it is,
Is just not eating
on fatty bait fish.
Thanks, scott.
Scott: All right, you guys.
Paul: See ya, pal.
Dave: See you
tomorrow hopefully.
We haven't gotten out as much.
But each day we're getting
more and more dialed in,
So we're gonna
catch these guys.
Sandro: Makes me wanna dance.
Narrator: Dot-com's monster
bluefin lifts the boat into
First place over fellow
northern boat, pinwheel.
While little shell's payday
isn't enough to move the
Local crew ahead.
And frenzy's strategic
bluefin boosts the boat into
Third place within striking
distance of the top spot.
Dirty: Not for the timid.
Greg: I wish I was dot-com.
Watching tv in my pajamas.
The tide is roaring.
I tell you what, it's been
nice fishing against dave.
You know, dave's doing
better than I am,
But I do have the advantage.
If dot-com would to try to go
across the shoal that I just
Went across, he'd run aground.
The frenzy was built to
run out of oregon inlet.
I mean, and that definitely
gives me advantage getting out
Across the bar every day.
Dirty: Like that right there.
Billon: That right there.
Greg: I'm crossing
the bar like I always
have and we bumped.
You know, you really gotta be
careful going through here.
It's changing all the time.
Dirty: Good lord.
Greg: We hit a shallow spot
and luckily we just had a
Little bump, a little bit
of sand, we're on our way.
But I guess, you know, I've
been picking on dave about him
Not going across the bar.
I'm glad he's not here to
see me bump the bottom.
If I can do it,
anyone can do it.
Billon: Gotta be careful, man.
This place sucks
sometimes, you know.
Greg: We'll just keep this
between me and my crew.
Billon: Just glad
we're not sinking.
