Wicked Tuna (2012–…): Season 5, Episode 12 - Comeback Kid - full transcript
Last season�۪s champion Hard Merchandise has a precarious lead over persistent rival FV-Tuna.com., while Hot Tuna and Pinwheel battle forces beyond their control just to make a profit on the season. But it�۪s Wicked Pissah that has everyone looking across their bows, as Captain Paul Hebert leads his trusty mate Brad Krasowski in an unprecedented charge for the top.
PAUL: Are you ready
to get another one?
Are you ready to
get another one?
NARRATOR: Just when
they counted him out.
TYLER: I can't stand that guy.
NARRATOR: Captain Paul Hebert
emerges as a worthy adversary.
DAVE: No need to be
greedy over there, Paul.
Why don't you share
with your buddies?
NARRATOR: And he's
shooting for the top.
PAUL: We're gunning for
Dot Com, Merch, all of 'em.
BRAD: Hell yeah!
JOE MARCIANO: We're on!
We're on!
NARRATOR: Can Marciano
hold his lead?
DAVE: Oh, we're on!
We're on! Come on!
TYLER: Nice! Nice! Nice! Got
him on! Got him on! Got him on!
NARRATOR: And can
the others outfish
the red hot Wicked Pissah?
PAUL: Come on!
NARRATOR: In one of the most
regulated fisheries
in the world.
JOE MARCIANO: Nice shot!
NARRATOR: These fishermen
fight to earn a living.
TYLER: You missed him!
NARRATOR: Catching.
PAUL: Where dreams are made.
JARRETT: Whoo.
PAUL: And dreams are broken.
TYLER: Oh [bleep].
PAUL: Right here.
NARRATOR: Wicked Tuna.
PAUL: Yeah!

NARRATOR: Less than a
hundred dollars separates
the Hard Merchandise and
fishing vessel Tuna Dot Com
from the top spot.
But with only four weeks left,
it's the Wicked Pissah's
push from behind
that has the fleet talking.

TYLER: Paul Hebert is a hack.
He belongs in the back deck, he
has no business running a boat.
TJ: As far as I'm concerned,
Paul will always be a mate.
He's not a captain in my eyes.
DAVE: I truly did not think Paul
would be as much of a threat
as he is this season.
Boy was I wrong, he
right on my tail.
DAVE: When Paul is in the
right frame of mind, you know,
when he's not pissing off
the crew and, you know,
all the drama that's
going on over there,
he's really a good fisherman.
PAUL: You watch, dude.
We're gonna be on in,
like, a half hour.
There's a billion tuna around.
So many fish here. It's
not even funny, dude.
We're gonna catch 20
right here this week.
This season, being a captain
of a boat that I actually own
has been really tough.
The biggest learning curve I've
had this year has been trying
to manage people.
I made my crew
feel unappreciated
and this not what a
good captain does.
They did what anybody
would have done.
PAUL: And then I
fished by myself.
I think I just lost him.
And then the guys came back.
But Lance had me
second-guessing my choices.
LANCE SISTARE: That's the most
stupid thing I ever heard out
of somebody's mouth.
PAUL: I realized this just was
not gonna work with Lance.
He's a good man but the
gamble is all on me.
All the bills are all on me.
I'm a third generation
tuna fisherman.
I need to be able to
trust my own instincts.
All right, it's
almost low tide, Brad.
Thank God I got Brad,
I'll tell you that.
He has really,
really stuck with me.
He's the best angler I've
ever been with in my life.
[BEEPING SOUND]
Hundred feet; three of 'em.
It's so satisfying to prove
that everyone that doubted me
as a captain, and there's
a lot of doubters,
that I could win
this whole thing
because I'm telling you right
now, it's gonna happen.
BRAD: Nice mark, man.
Ooh. Ooh la la.
Paul's dealt with a lot of
crap this season including me,
but he stuck it out.
He's hitting his stride
as a captain here.
I'm proud of him.
That's Bluefin family of three.
[BEEPING SOUND]
Come to dinner.
We will serve you.
Serve them up.
PAUL: Uh, giant
Bluefin party of three.
Calling the Bluefin
party of three.
[LAUGHS]
TYLER: He's great
at cleaning windows,
vacuuming out his cabinets,
keeping his boat clean,
but Paul's not a fisherman.
Paul's worked with me
for two years
and it sucked having
to fish with the guy,
[YEAHHH...]
but I can't stand that guy.
Paul Hebert's a hack.
TRAVIS: A hack?
TYLER: A hack.
TRAVIS: Wow, that's
pretty harsh.
TYLER: The fact that the Wicked
Pissah's killing it right now
makes me a little nauseous.
There's no other boat that
I want to beat this season
as much as Wicked Pissah.
[BEEPING SOUND]
Nice mark, bro, nice
mark going down, bro.

When you're losing
fish, it's no good.
But it's losing to Paul
that I can't live with.
Tuna gods got to help me.
♪ [MUSIC] ♪
TJ: I'm gonna have to
keep my eye on the Pissah,
but most importantly
keep my eye on Brad.
I'm not worried
about the Pissah,
I'm not worried about
little, you know,
little shrimp over there.
I'm worried about the big
ass Viking that he hired
to catch all the fish for him.
Paul's a great fisherman
but as far as I'm concerned,
Paul will always be a mate.
He's not a captain in my eyes.
The fact that Wicked
Pissah is ahead of us
really adds to my stress.
We lost a lot of money
going out to Georges Bank
a couple weeks ago and I'm
desperate to hear the reel
go off.

SANDRO: Paul's
putting the time in.
If you have lines in the
water, you're gonna get bites.
DAVE: Not Paul. Paul and Brad.
SANDRO: I know. Paul and Brad.
DAVE: I thought he was gonna
have a problem in the beginning
because Brad's gonna
want to fish his way
and Paul's gonna want
to fish his way.
But it sounds like they
found a happy medium.
Right now, my biggest
competition is
the Hard Merchandise
and the Wicked Pissah.
When Paul was part of my crew,
he was difficult to fish with.
PAUL: We've been working hard
for a long time while you been
[bleep] sleeping all the time.
DAVE: And that's part
of why I let him go.
I truly did not think he
would be as much of a threat
as he is this season.
Boy was I wrong, he
is right on my tail.
SANDRO: We need to catch more.
Never enough, ever.

DAVE: Plenty of
bait and no fish.
We could sit here and
wait for fish, I guess.
It's less than a hundred bucks
separating me and the Dot Com,

breathing down our neck, too.
[YAWNING SOUND] [BLEEP]
I'm definitely not
gonna count Paul out,
so I'm gonna do everything
I can to make sure
that he's not on top and we are.
SANDRO: Hammer down,
this is our day.
Hammer down to the end.

around waiting for a bite,

going towards this other guy

under his anchor bulb.

it will snap right off.

we had four on.
Now, we're down to two.
I can't freak out.
Sometimes the fish are just
a lot smarter than we are.
The only thing we could do
now is focus on catching
these last two fish.

guy going up around this one.
He's just swimming
around over here.

DAVE: Brad and Paul, you got to
admit they started out slow
this season, but, uh, once they
ironed out their difficulties,
whatever they were, those
two guys make a great team.
They're catching a
lot of fish lately.
You can't deny that.
JASON: Two guys on a boat that
know what the hell's going on
at all times.
I knew they were gonna
put meat across the deck.
DAVE: I definitely don't
underestimate Paul and Brad
or the Wicked Pissah.
They have come from way behind
and show no sign of stopping.
They had four on at once!
That'd be impossible for us to
get four on 'cause we never fish
more than three rods
for that reason.
I learned that trick
long ago in my youth.
When I was a youth, don't fish
more rods than you can handle.
It's just wasting fish
and wasting money.
One rod. Jay, what do we catch?
80 percent of our fish with one
rod and one hook in the water.
Two of those fish, I
heard you lost right away.
No need to be greedy over there,
Paul, for crying out loud.
Why don't you share
with your buddies?
You can't just hook two and then
send two over to your buddy Dave
on the Hard Merch?
Skip the Dot Com
and just come to me.
But no, you got to
hook all four at once.
Oh, we're just waiting

TYLER: I watched the
rod go [inaudible]
now we have nothing.
[REELING SOUND]
All we do is, like, lose fish.
What was it?
Let me see it.
TYLER: It's terrible.
What just happened is
called a crotch break.
On your fishing line,
you have a swivel.
On one side of the
swivel is your leader,
which is the line that
goes to your baited hook.
On the other side of the
swivel, we have the main line,
which goes back to
your fishing reel.
The two lines are attached on
either side of the swivel
with loops, which us
fisherman call crotches.
Every time you hook up, the fish
puts a lot of heat on the line
and if that heat causes either
one of the loops on the swivel
to break; bang, the liter
and the fish are gone.
Got to put them back out,
bro, nothing you can do.
Losing fish. Losing fish.
Can't believe that, man.
BRAD: Yesterday was good, man.
PAUL: It was probably the
best day of the season, yeah.
We got two fish on ice
after that quad hookup,
but we're not stopping
'til we fill the boat.
BRAD: We got an all-new
line, all-new leaders,
we got a really good chance of
starting off another day right.
A lot of people say that Paul
is doing well 'cause he's got me
on the boat. But,
it's both of us.
It's all our knowledge as
little boys up until now
of catching Bluefin Tuna.
We become one to beat everybody.
The person that stays out the
most and knows what to do when
they hook up, got decent bait
on the line, everything works,
will usually catch the most.
PAUL: I am so happy you came
and fished with me this year.
Oh, so happy.
I'm not just fishing for a
trophy or fishing to be cool
or get a pat on the back.
I'm fishing to make
money for my family.
We do it to support
our families.
BRAD: I left my wife
and my kids, dogs,
to come up here and do
this Bluefin fishery.
It's a, it's not for everybody.
It's tough.
That's why people drop
out all the time, too.
BRAD: People's kids,
the wives, the children,
they can't take it either.
It's hard on them.
If you're out here and
you're catching fish,
that's like a good feeling.
At least you're getting money
for the time you're sacrificing
away from your loved ones.
And its days you'll
never get back.
You'll never, you'll never get
that day back of your life.
The dinner back, having dinner,
having breakfast with your kids.
You'll never get that back
ever, it's gone forever, poof.
At least if you're catching fish
and they're worth good money,
you can, it, you can,
you can justify it.
TYLER: Paul had to hire a ringer
to catch tunas this year,
it's a joke.
He's the laughing
stock of the fleet.
It just shows you how much he
lacks confidence in himself
as a captain.
DAVE: People aren't very nice
when they're not catching.
SANDRO: No.
DAVE: That's why
they're tearing Paul up.
SANDRO: I feel bad, man. That
guy's put his [bleep] time in.
DAVE: Hmm?
SANDRO: Guy's putting his
time in, man, you know?
DAVE: He's fishing.
SANDRO: Exactly.
DAVE: Things right now
are looking pretty grim.
SANDRO: Uh, we got to
catch a couple today.
DAVE: Paul and Brad
caught two fish
out of their quadruple hookup.
So if we don't
catch any this week,
we could be in real trouble.
One of these rods are gonna go.
Let's just take, let's
take a seventh of Paul's
bites yesterday, that's all.
♪ [MUSIC] ♪
SANDRO: Well, at least
we got a good cereal.
TJ: This is terrible.
This is terrible.
Right now, we've got
a total of nine fish
and I got to be honest with you,
I'm not too stoked about that.
I wanted to have at least
a dozen fish at this point
in the season.
I don't like being average and
that's how I feel right now
being stuck behind Dot Com, the
Hard Merch, and of all boats,
the Wicked Pissah.
[SNORING]
This is eventful, huh?
This is really exciting.
Breezy, calm, no marks.
Anchored in the mud.
Everyone in the family's
invested in the Hot Tuna
and the fishing business
and it's been that way
for a long, long time.
There's definitely a little
added bit of pressure
at the end of the day, a little
more weight on your shoulders
to kind of, deliver.
We just need that first one.

[REELING SOUND]
All we do is, like, lose fish.
What was it?
Let me see it.
TYLER: It's terrible.
What just happened is
called a crotch break.
On your fishing line,
you have a swivel.
On one side of the
swivel is your leader,
which is the line that
goes to your baited hook.
On the other side of the
swivel, we have the main line,
which goes back to
your fishing reel.
The two lines are attached on
either side of the swivel
with loops, which us
fisherman call crotches.
Every time you hook up, the fish
puts a lot of heat on the line
and if that heat causes either
one of the loops on the swivel
to break; bang, the liter
and the fish are gone.
Got to put them back out,
bro, nothing you can do.
Losing fish. Losing fish.
Can't believe that, man.
BRAD: Yesterday was good, man.
PAUL: It was probably the
best day of the season, yeah.
We got two fish on ice
after that quad hookup,
but we're not stopping
'til we fill the boat.
BRAD: We got an all-new
line, all-new leaders,
we got a really good chance of
starting off another day right.
A lot of people say that Paul
is doing well 'cause he's got me
on the boat. But,
it's both of us.
It's all our knowledge as
little boys up until now
of catching Bluefin Tuna.
We become one to beat everybody.
The person that stays out the
most and knows what to do when
they hook up, got decent bait
on the line, everything works,
will usually catch the most.
PAUL: I am so happy you came
and fished with me this year.
Oh, so happy.
I'm not just fishing for a
trophy or fishing to be cool
or get a pat on the back.
I'm fishing to make
money for my family.
We do it to support
our families.
BRAD: I left my wife
and my kids, dogs,
to come up here and do
this Bluefin fishery.
It's a, it's not for everybody.
It's tough.
That's why people drop
out all the time, too.
BRAD: People's kids,
the wives, the children,
they can't take it either.
It's hard on them.
If you're out here and
you're catching fish,
that's like a good feeling.
At least you're getting money
for the time you're sacrificing
away from your loved ones.
And its days you'll
never get back.
You'll never, you'll never get
that day back of your life.
The dinner back, having dinner,
having breakfast with your kids.
You'll never get that back
ever, it's gone forever, poof.
At least if you're catching fish
and they're worth good money,
you can, it, you can,
you can justify it.
