ON HIS NORTHERN GEAR.

Sig: YEAH, BUDDY!
OH, YEAH, THEY'RE HERE.
WE ARE FISHING!
OH, MY GOD!
SO, WENT WAY UP TO THE NORTH,
AND IT'S PAYING OFF.
BUT, UH, I SEE A LOT
OF LIGHTS OF BOATS.
BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG.
RIGHT ON TOP OF US.
THERE'S TRAILBLAZERAND
SOME OTHER GUY AND ANOTHER GUY.
I DON'T KNOW IF I WANT TO
PUT THIS BACK OUT.
Narrator: HAVING KEYED IN
ON SIG'S HOT SPOT,
THE FLEET IS MOVING IN.

I COULD HAVE USED JAKE
AS A PARTNER THIS YEAR.
THIS TIME,
I COULD HAVE USED HIM.

THE BOATS ARE
JUST FLOODING IN.
IF I LEAVE THE GEAR UP,
IT'S GONNA GET ANNIHILATED.

A BIG GOAT SHOW.
I DON'T WANT TO
SET THIS BACK.

AMAZING RIGHT NOW.

TO DATE.
I GOT TO SAY, SIG'S DONE
A PRETTY GOOD JOB SO FAR.
YOU KNOW, ALL THE SIGNS
THAT WE'VE HAULED TODAY,
LOOKS LIKE THE CRAB
ARE MOVING WEST.
Narrator: WITH THE FLEET
CROWDING HIS HONEY HOLE,
SIG'S RELUCTANT TO KEEP
FISHING THE SAME GROUNDS.
MORE COMPETITION
MEANS LESS CRAB.

Sig: START PACKING, PICK UP
WHAT YOU GET, AND GO.
OH, MY GOD.
UH-OH.
Narrator: TO STAY
AHEAD OF THE FLEET,
SIG MAKES AN AGGRESSIVE CALL
TO LEAVE HOT FISHING
TO AVOID HAVING TO
DIVVY UP HIS CATCH
ON THE CROWDED GROUNDS.
SO WE'RE GONNA JUST TRY
TO STAY ONE STEP AHEAD
OF THE BOATS ANDTHE CRAB.
Nick:
HE'S ALL JACKED UP NOW.
USUALLY, WE WOULD SET BACK,
BUT WE'RE GONNA RESET THESE.
Narrator: BUT
RUNNING FROM HARD-WON CRAB
DOESN'T SIT WELL
WITH THE CREW.
Nick: DOING REALLY GOOD
RIGHT NOW.
USUALLY, WE'D SET BACK.
I THINK
IT'S GONNA GET WEAKER.
WHAT ARE WE RUNNING FROM?
THIS IS CRAZY.
Edgar: THIS BETTER BE
A GOOD BET,
AND IT BETTER PAY OFF
AT THE END.
OTHERWISE, YOU'RE GONNA HAVE
SOME PISSED-OFF CREW MEMBERS.

ONE STEP AHEAD OF THE CRAB.

YOU GOT TO GO
BY WHAT YOU SEE,

THEN IT'S GONNA WORTH IT.
IT'LL BE WORTH EVERY CRAB.
