DAVE CARRARO: HERE WE ARE.

PRODUCTION CREW:
WICKED TUNA SEASON SIX.

PAUL HEBERT: I'M A THIRD
GENERATION FISHERMAN.

MY GRANDFATHER FISHED,
MY FATHER FISHED.

DAVE CARRARO: I CAME TO
GLOUCESTER 19 YEARS AGO.

TYLER MCLAUGHLIN: I GREW
UP FISHING SINCE I COULD

HOLD A FISHING POLE.

TJ OTT: I WAS BORN AND RAISED
RIGHT OUTSIDE NEW YORK CITY,

BUT ALL WE EVER HEARD
OF WAS GLOUCESTER,

GLOUCESTER, GLOUCESTER.

IT'S AMERICA'S
OLDEST SEA PORT.



THE BACKBONE OF THIS TOWN
HAS BEEN BUILT ON FISHING.

DAVE CARRARO:
WE'RE ON, WE'RE ON.

JASON MUENZNER: THERE HE IS!

TYLER MCLAUGHLIN: TAKE
THE SHOT, TAKE THE SHOT.

DAVE MARCIANO: FISHING OUT
AT GLOUCESTER IS PART OF WHAT

HELPED BUILD THIS COUNTRY.

AND SINCE THOSE DAYS, THIS
TOWN HAS RELIED ON FISHING FOR

ITS LIFE BLOOD.

DAVE CARRARO: BLUEFIN
TUNA IS THE ULTIMATE FISH

IN THE OCEAN.

MIKE OTT: WHOA, WHOA.

JASON MUENZNER: QUICK,
DAVE, QUICK, DOUBLE, DOUBLE!

MATT MATTSON: I GOT COLOR.

NICK "DUFFY" FUDGE:
RIGHT THERE.



TYLER MCLAUGHLIN: MISSED HIM.

DAVE MARCIANO: THE
PRESSURE IS INTENSE.

TYLER MCLAUGHLIN:
BACK THE DRAG OFF.

MATT MATTSON:
[INAUDIBLE] GAME OVER.

DAVE MARCIANO:
THOSE FIRST FISH CAN GET

AS MUCH AS $20,000.

TYLER MCLAUGHLIN: EASY.

TJ OTT: BUT THERE'S NO
GUARANTEES IN FISHING.

PAUL HEBERT: IT'S
WHAT I LOVE TO DO.

DAVE CARRARO: THAT'S
REALLY WHY WE DO IT,

'CAUSE WE LOVE TO DO IT.

TYLER MCLAUGHLIN: THEY'RE THE
COOLEST ANIMAL IN THE OCEAN.

TJ OTT: I'M TJ OTT
AND I'M A FISHERMAN.

JARRETT PRZYBYSZEWSKI:
ALL RIGHT.

DAVE CARRARO:
RIGHT OUT OF MY HAND.

I'M DAVE CARRARO AND
I'M A FISHERMAN.

TYLER MCLAUGHLIN:
I'M TYLER MCLAUGHLIN AND

I'M A FISHERMAN.

DAVE MARCIANO: I'M DAVE
MARCIANO AND I'M A FISHERMAN.

PAUL HEBERT:
I AM PAUL HEBERT,

AND I AM A
BLUEFIN TUNA FISHERMAN.

JASON MUENZNER: ALL RIGHT,
JOE, FIRST TRIP OF THE SEASON.

ARE YOU EXCITED?

JOE MARCIANO: YEAH,
LET'S GET AFTER THEM.

LET'S PUT SOME
NUMBERS UP THIS YEAR.

DAVE MARCIANO: PLAN IS TO
GO FISHING JUST LIKE WE ALWAYS

DO, BUT WE AIN'T GONNA DO
IT SITTING HERE AT THE DOCK.

THAT'S ONE THING
WE KNOW FOR SURE.

ALL RIGHT, GUYS,
LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.

JASON MUENZNER: ALL RIGHT.

JOE MARCIANO: START IT
UP, LET'S HIT THE ROAD.

DAVE CARRARO: LET'S
STAY POSITIVE THIS YEAR,

STICK TOGETHER.

I DON'T WANT YOU
GUYS WORKING FOR ME.

I WANT YOU GUYS
WORKING WITH ME.

ALL RIGHT?

SANDRO MANIACI: LET'S DO IT.

FIRE IT UP.

DAVE CARRARO: WE GOT,
WE GOT A LONG WAY TO GO.

SANDRO MANIACI: START IT UP.

GEORDIE SOUSA: LET'S GO.

DAVE CARRARO: LET'S ROLL.

DAVE MARCIANO: A LITTLE
CHAOTIC THIS MORNING

BUT WE'RE HERE.

WE'RE GOOD TO GO.

HANDFUL OF BOATS
AROUND UP AHEAD.

FIRST TRIP OF THE SEASON.

WE JUST HAVE TO
SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

DAVE CARRARO:
FIRST TRIP FOR THE SEASON.

LET'S GO.

ONCE YOU GET INTO THE NEW
SEASON, THAT FIRST DAY OUT,

WHAT'S MOST IMPORTANT
IS GETTING OUT THERE AND

HOPEFULLY MAKING A RIGHT
MOVE GOING TO THE RIGHT SPOT

AND FINDING THE FISH.

ALL RIGHT.

TYLER MCLAUGHLIN:
SEVENTY-MILE STEAM AND WE

FINALLY GET TO GO FISHING.

NICK "DUFFY" FUDGE:
WHOO, ALL RIGHT!

TYLER MCLAUGHLIN: ONCE WE GET
TO OUR SPOT, WE DROP ANCHOR,

AND THEN IT'S TIME
TO GO TO WORK.

PUTTING 'EM OUT, BRO.

NICK "DUFFY" FUDGE:
FIRST ONE IN.

JARRETT PRZYBYSZEWSKI: IT'S
OUR FIRST MORNING OUT HERE.

PUT THE LINES OUT, NICE
FRESH BAITS, AND HOPEFULLY,

WE'LL CAPITALIZE ON IT HERE
PRETTY SOON THIS MORNING.

TJ OTT: WE SET OUT ABOUT
THREE OR FOUR RODS ALL AT

DIFFERENT DEPTHS TO CREATE
AND ATTRACT THE SPREAD

OF BAITS FOR THE TUNA.

DAVE MARCIANO: WELL
I'LL TAKE ANOTHER HERRING.

JOE MARCIANO:
NICE SEXY HERRING.

DAVE MARCIANO: SEXY HERRING.

HE'S GOT ALL THE SCALES
IN PLACE ALL READY TO GO.

SOMETIMES WE USE LIVE BAIT,
DEAD BAIT, MACKEREL, SQUID,

HERRING, WHITING, WHATEVER.

EVERYBODY HAS GOT A DIFFERENT
STRATEGY THAT THEY THINK IS

GONNA WORK THE BEST.

SANDRO MANIACI: THIS CHUM IS
HOPEFULLY GONNA BRING THEM

RIGHT TO THE BOAT.

THEY'RE GONNA FOLLOW A CHUM
LINE AND EVENTUALLY FIND OUR

BAITS AND HOPEFULLY EAT ONE.

CHUM ARE THE PIECES OF
FISH THAT WE DROP IN THE

WATER AROUND OUR LINES.

THE OIL FROM THE FISH,
KNOWN AS THE CHUM SLICK,

SPREADS OUT, LURING IN
BLUEFIN AND LEADING THEM RIGHT

TO OUR BAIT.

TYLER MCLAUGHLIN: OH, I
WANT TO MARK ONE SO BAD.

ONCE TUNAS ARE UNDER OUR BOAT,
OUR FISH FINDERS DETECT THEM.

AND THEY APPEAR LIKE
BOOMERANG-SHAPED MARKS

ON THE SCREEN.

OH MY GOD.

DAVE CARRARO: YOU GUYS THERE?

COME IN, COME IN.

YOU READY FOR THIS?

TWO TUNAS UNDERNEATH THE BOAT.

TJ OTT: WHAT'D YOU SAY?

DAVE CARRARO: TWO ATLANTIC
BLUEFIN TUNAS JUST SHOWED UP

UNDERNEATH TUNA DOT COM.

TJ OTT: THE START
OF THE SEASON,

THERE'S ALWAYS ANXIETY.

THE FIRST FISH OF THE SEASON
CAN BRING A LOT OF MONEY,

SO EVERYONE WANTS IT.

EVERYONE'S JUST WAITING TO
SEE WHO'S GONNA GET THAT FIRST

BITE AND BRING THE
FIRST FISH TO MARKET.

[BEEPING]

NICK "DUFFY" FUDGE:
OH, COME ON.

TYLER MCLAUGHLIN: EVERYONE
WANTS THE FIRST FISH BECAUSE,

YOU KNOW, IT GETS YOU
OFF TO A GOOD START.

THAT'S WHAT GETS
THE BALL ROLLING.

TYLER MCLAUGHLIN: WHOEVER
GETS THAT FIRST ONE, THAT,

THEY'RE THE TOP DOG.

THEY'RE THE TALK OF THE TOWN.

WE NEED A BITE.

DAVE MARCIANO: BAIT AND WAIT.

YOU GET THE BAIT ON THE
HOOKS AND WAIT THEM OUT.

THERE'S A FISH RIGHT
BELOW OUR WHITING.

THAT'S A DEFINITE MARK.

THAT'S ENCOURAGING.

TJ OTT: OH, HERE'S
A MARK DOWN DEEP.

COME ON, BABY.

IT'S THE RIGHT SIZE.

IT'S THE ONE WE WANT.

MIKE OTT: WE GOT
DOT COM OVER THERE.

SANDRO MANIACI: ONCE
YOU GET THE FIRST ONE,

THE REST ARE GONNA
BE EASY, RIGHT?

DAVE CARRARO: EASIER.

GEORDIE SOUSA: WELL, LET'S
NOT GET AHEAD OF OURSELVES.

DAVE CARRARO: YOU
JUST NEVER KNOW.

JARRETT PRZYBYSZEWSKI:
I CAN'T BELIEVE WE'RE

MARKING THEM NOW.

TJ OTT: HE'S ON, HE'S ON!

REEL, REEL, REEL!

MIKE OTT: START THE
BOAT, START THE BOAT.

TJ OTT: I DID.

MIKE OTT: GOT TO
GET OFF THE ANCHOR.

TJ, I GOT TO MOVE THIS ROD.

TJ OTT: ALL RIGHT, GO,
GO, GO, GO, COME ON!

MIKE OTT: ROD!

TJ OTT: GOT 'EM ON, MAN.

MIKE OTT: COME ON, BABY.

TJ OTT: FIRST
FISH OF THE YEAR,

THIS IS WHAT WE'RE
OUT HERE FOR.

GET INSIDE BOTH YOU.

COME, GET INSIDE, GO.

JARRETT'S OUR MAIN GUY ON THE
REEL, I'M DRIVING THE BOAT,

AND MICHAEL'S PREPARING
EVERYTHING ELSE.

TAKE IT OUT OF THE
HOLDER AND WALK IT BACK.

THIS ONE COULD BE A MONSTER.

LET HIM GO IF HE WANTS TO GO.

WE GOT 'EM ON, MAN.

TAKE OUR TIME.

WE'LL TAKE OUR TIME.

WE'LL TRY AND TIRE HIM OUT.

HOPEFULLY, WE'LL
STAY CONNECTED.

JUST GET HIM TO
SURRENDER TO THE FLOW, BABY.

JARRETT PRZYBYSZEWSKI:
FEELS LIKE A GREAT FISH.

HE'S SETTLING IN PRETTY
GOOD, HE'S DOGGING DOWN.

GETTING ON TOP OF HIM.

HOPE FOR THE BEST.

MIKE OTT: SEEMS A LITTLE
BIGGER THAN ONE OF

THOSE 80 INCHERS.

JARRETT PRZYBYSZEWSKI:
THERE HE IS.

COME ON, BABY.

HE'S COMING UP.

MIKE OTT: HE'S HURTING.

COMING UP, NOW.

JARRETT'S GOT HIM IN CONTROL.

HE'S GONNA PINWHEEL HIM UP.

HOPEFULLY, WE CAN GET A
SHOT OUT OF HIM HERE, SOON.

FINGERS CROSSED.

WE NEED THIS ONE.

COME ON, BABY.

GOOD JOB, JARRETT.

JARRETT PRZYBYSZEWSKI:
OH MY GOD!

TJ OTT: PULLED UP.

OH, MAN, ONE OF THOSE DAYS,
WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO?

GET IN.

GOD, THAT HURTS.

OH, WE PULLED
THE (BLEEP) HOOK.

GEORDIE SOUSA: PULLED A HOOK.

TJ OTT: 70, 80 FEET AWAY.

IT SUCKS, MAN.

COUNTER CLOCKWISE CIRCLES.

OH, WHAT A PERFECT
BITE, 12 FATHOM AWAY.

DAVE CARRARO: FIRST
FISH, NOT YET, NOT YET.

TJ LOST THAT ONE, WHICH MEANS
THAT BIG-MONEY FIRST FISH OF

THE SEASON IS
STILL UP FOR GRABS.

TJ OTT:
IT IS WHAT IT IS, MAN.

THERE'S NOTHING
ANYONE DID WRONG.

WE'RE GONNA PUT 'EM BACK OUT
AND WE'RE GONNA HOOK ANOTHER

ONE AND WE'RE GONNA PRAY TO
THE TUNA GODS OR SOMEONE UP

THERE WATCHING AFTER US.

TAKE IT FROM THERE.

[WIND]

TYLER MCLAUGHLIN: WE HAVEN'T
SEEN ANYTHING REALLY.

WE'VE MARKED A COUPLE FISH.

LIKE, THIS ISN'T
THE FISHING SPOT.

WE GOT TO ROLL.

WE GOT TO GO SOMEWHERE ELSE.

JUST NOT WORKING FOR US HERE.

I REALLY WANT TO
CATCH THE FIRST FISH,

SO INSTEAD OF WAITING IT
OUT, I'M GONNA GO TRY TO FIND

BETTER WATERS.

IT AIN'T HAPPENING HERE.

FOUR YEARS AGO, I CAUGHT MORE
BLUEFIN THAN ANY OTHER CAPTAIN

AROUND HERE.

AND YOU KNOW WHAT?

I GOT COCKY.

RIGHT NOW, I'M JUST
FOCUSED ON CATCHING EVERY

FISH THAT I HOOK.

I CAN'T BE WASTING
TIME WITH DRAMA.

DUDE, WE HAVEN'T
SEEN ANYTHING.

THERE'S GOT TO BE
MORE PROMISING BOTTOM.

THERE'S A BETTER SPOT
OUT THERE SOMEWHERE.

WE SHOULD GO FIND IT.

LET'S REEL THEM IN.

LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.

WE GOT TO GO.

I WAS HOPING THAT THIS
SPOT WOULD SHOW A LITTLE MORE

TO US TODAY.

NICK "DUFFY" FUDGE:
GOING TO A NEW SPOT,

ON TO GREENER PASTURES.

WASN'T MUCH BAIT HERE,
ONE MARK, ONE SMALLER MARK.

TRY TO GO CHASE
THEM DOWN HERE.

TYLER AND I DID REALLY
WELL FISHING DOWN SOUTH IN

NORTH CAROLINA, AND I'M
CONFIDENT WE CAN KEEP IT

ROLLING UP HERE THIS SUMMER.

BUT THE FIRST FISH
IS THE HARDEST.

WE JUST GOT TO GO FIND IT.

[BEEPING]

GEORDIE SOUSA: DOWN, DOWN,
DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, COMING BACK.

SANDRO MANIACI:
COME ON, EAT IT.

COME ON.

GEORDIE SOUSA:
COME ON, EAT IT.

DAVE CARRARO: OUT OF ALL
THE BOATS IN THE FLEET,

THE ONE I WANT TO OUT-FISH
THE MOST IS THE PINWHEEL.

HE'S BEATEN US BEFORE,
AND THERE'S NO WAY I'M GONNA

LET THAT EVER HAPPEN AGAIN.

GEORDIE SOUSA:
MARKING ONE HERE NOW.

STILL COMING ON THE SCREEN.

[BEEPING]

[BEEPING]

TYLER MCLAUGHLIN:
PACKING UP SHOP.

GONNA GO FIND BETTER WATERS.

SLOW DOWN, JUST
CHILL FOR A SECOND.

NICK "DUFFY" FUDGE: HUH?

TYLER MCLAUGHLIN: YO,
WE'RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE, BRO.

PUT IT BACK OUT.

NICK "DUFFY" FUDGE:
DID WE MARK?

TYLER MCLAUGHLIN: GIANT, NICE
MARK ON THE SCREEN RIGHT NOW.

OH, YEAH, WE'RE MARKING HIM.

NICK "DUFFY" FUDGE:
OH, HE'S ALL OVER IT, HUH?

TYLER MCLAUGHLIN:
HE'S BACK, HE'S BACK.

YO, LISTEN, GET THAT OUT.

YOU KNOW, WE HAVEN'T
SEEN ANYTHING ALL DAY,

AND NOW ALL OF THE SUDDEN
WE'RE MARKING SOME FISH,

SO WE AIN'T GOING ANYWHERE.

GEORDIE SOUSA: HE CAME
ON THE SCREEN HERE AT 180,

160 THEN WORKED
HIS WAY BACK DOWN.

TYLER MCLAUGHLIN:
COME BACK AND EAT.

WE GOT TO STAY HERE.

WE'RE LOOKING FOR THAT FIRST
ONE, WE GOT TO CATCH ONE.

SO, THERE'S ONE HERE.

HE JUST GOT TO EAT!

[BEEPING]

[REEL UNSPOOLING RAPIDLY].

NICK "DUFFY" FUDGE:
WE'RE ON, WE'RE ON.

TYLER MCLAUGHLIN:
YUP, GOT 'EM ON.

THERE HE IS.

GOT 'EM ON BABY, WHOA!

NICK "DUFFY" FUDGE:
THERE WE GO, YEAH BUDDY!

YEAH, THERE IT GOES.

DAVE CARRARO:
THERE HE IS, THERE HE IS.

THERE HE IS,
WE'RE ON, WE'RE ON!

[REEL UNSPOOLING RAPIDLY].

SANDRO MANIACI: YEAH,
YEAH, THAT'S HIM.

DAVE CARRARO: OH YEAH,
COMING UP GEORDIE, WE'RE ON.

SANDRO MANIACI:
HOOKED UP, BABY.

DAVE CARRARO: HE'S
GOT WEIGHT TO HIM.

SANDRO MANIACI: WAKEY, WAKEY.

TYLER MCLAUGHLIN: FIRST FISH
OF THE SEASON, BIG BITE,

YOU WANT TO CAPITALIZE ON IT.

FISH TAKING A LOT OF LINE.

NICK "DUFFY" FUDGE: YOU
KNOW, WE WAITED IT OUT,

SAW THE RIGHT SIGNS.

TYLER MCLAUGHLIN:
HE'S A GOOD ONE.

HE'S A 95 INCHER.

REEL!

NICK "DUFFY" FUDGE: YEAH, MAN.

GEORDIE SOUSA: THERE YOU GO.

COMING RIGHT UP.

SANDRO MANIACI: HEY, HE'S
ACTUALLY PRETTY DAMN CLOSE

RIGHT HERE.

TYLER MCLAUGHLIN:
GOT TO GET THIS FISH.

THIS IS GREAT.

NICK "DUFFY" FUDGE:
OH, YEAH, WE'LL GET HIM.

FIRST OF THIS SEASON, BABY.

TYLER MCLAUGHLIN:
AND RIGHT NOW,

WITH NO FISH BEING
ON THE MARKET,

THIS IS A BIG PAYCHECK.

SANDRO MANIACI: BREAKING
HIS WILL RIGHT NOW THAT'S ALL.

TYLER MCLAUGHLIN: RIGHT
NOW IT'S ALL NERVES.

A LOT CAN GO WRONG, YOU KNOW.

WE GOT A BIG
BATTLE AHEAD OF US.

TYLER MCLAUGHLIN:
500 POUND FISH ALL DAY.

AND RIGHT NOW, WITH NO
FISH BEING ON THE MARKET,

THIS IS A BIG PAYCHECK.

SO WE WANNA GET IT
INTO THE BOAT BAD.

WE GOT TO GET THIS FISH.

THIS IS GREAT.

NICK "DUFFY" FUDGE:
OH, YEAH, WE'LL GET HIM.

DAVE CARRARO: SEE YA.

GEORDIE SOUSA: MIGHT DO
SOMETHING CRAZY HERE.

SANDRO MANIACI: HEY, IT'S
ACTUALLY PRETTY DAMN CLOSE

RIGHT HERE.

STILL MIGHT POP OUT OF THE
WATER SOON, IT FEELS LIKE.

DAVE CARRARO:
I CAN FEEL HIM UP.

I CAN FEEL HIM ALL WRAPPED UP.

RIGHT THERE.

HE'S GOING RIGHT THERE.

GEORDIE SOUSA:
COMING RIGHT UP.

OH.

DAVE CARRARO:
[INAUDIBLE] OFF.

GEORDIE SOUSA: OUCH.

DAVE CARRARO: YEAH.

GEORDIE SOUSA:
WHAT A KICK IN THE PANTS.

DAVE CARRARO: A LOST
FISH IS A LOST FISH.

HOWEVER, WHEN IT COULD
HAVE BEEN THE FIRST FISH OF

THE SEASON, IT HURTS
JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE.

SANDRO MANIACI:
CAN'T CATCH EVERY ONE.

DAVE CARRARO: RAKED IT ACROSS
HIS TEETH A COUPLE TIMES AND

THAT WAS THE
END OF THE STORY.

IT'S PAST TENSE.

YOU GOT TO THINK
ABOUT THE FUTURE NOW.

TYLER MCLAUGHLIN:
WE NEED THIS ONE, BABY.

NICK "DUFFY" FUDGE:
WE'RE GETTING HIM HERE, BUD.

TYLER MCLAUGHLIN:
COME ON, NICKY.

YOU'RE DOING A
GOOD JOB, BROTHER.

KEEP IT UP, KEEP IT UP,
KEEP IT UP.

KEEP IT UP, KEEP IT UP,
KEEP IT UP.

COME ON, MAN.

THIS IS A BIG FISH.

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT WE NEED
TO GET THE SEASON STARTED OFF

ON THE RIGHT FOOT.

NICK "DUFFY" FUDGE: OH,
YEAH, LET'S GET THIS GUY.

COME HERE, COME HERE.

COME HERE.

TYLER MCLAUGHLIN: NICE,
FIRST ONE OF THE YEAR, SO.

NICK "DUFFY" FUDGE: BOAT SHY.

TYLER MCLAUGHLIN: WE'RE
DEFINITELY GETTING,

EVERYTHING'S
GETTING TESTED HERE.

ALL OUR TACKLES
ARE GETTING TESTED.

ALL OUR SKILLS ARE GETTING
TESTED RIGHT OFF THE BAT.

THEY'RE NOT GIVING
US AN EASY ONE.

TYLER MCLAUGHLIN:
HE'S JUST KICKING OUR BUTT.

JUST COME AROUND A LITTLE BIT.

DUDE, YOU THINK
TUNA FISHING'S EASY?

TUNA FISHING AIN'T EASY.

WE'VE BEEN FIGHTING
THIS FISH FOR FIVE HOURS.

WE GOT FIVE HOURS
INVESTED IN IT,

AND I HAVEN'T EVEN
MADE A CENT YET.

WHATEVER IT TAKES
TO CATCH A TUNA.

NICK "DUFFY" FUDGE:
WE'VE BEEN UP FOR PROBABLY

AROUND 24 HOURS.

WE'RE ABSOLUTELY EXHAUSTED.

TYLER MCLAUGHLIN:
I'LL GIVE YOU A BREAK.

NEUTRAL.

HOUR NUMBER EIGHT HERE.

DUFFY AND I JUST BEEN
TRADING BACK AND FORTH,

DOING EVERYTHING WE CAN
TO TRY AND GET THIS FISH,

BUT IT DOES NOT WANT
TO GIVE UP AT ALL.

THIS IS ONE OF THE
BADDEST FISH I'VE EVER FOUGHT

IN MY LIFE.

OH, GREAT, IT'S GOING
BACK DOWN TO THE BOTTOM.

BIG FISH SOUND FOR THE BOTTOM.

NOTHING YOU CAN DO
WHEN HE'S TAKING LINE.

WE'RE SO HUNGRY, SO TIRED.

HOPE WE GET GOOD MONEY
IF WE GET THIS FISH.

WE'VE BEEN BATTLING THIS
THING SINCE, THROUGH SUNSET,

SUN RISES NOW,
IT'S STILL FOGGY,

I HAVEN'T SLEPT
IN LIKE TWO DAYS.

IT'D BE GREAT TO START
THE SEASON WITH A BIG BOY.

DEFINITELY MAKING US EARN IT.

YOU KNOW, THIS
FISH IS A BIG FISH.

WE JUST CAN'T GET HIM UP.

BUT I WANT TO HAVE
A GOOD SEASON,

AND CATCHING FISH
IS WHERE IT STARTS.

HE'S ON TOP, JUST
HOW WE WANT HIM.

GO, GO, GO, GO, GO.

WE'RE BACKING
DOWN ON THIS FISH.

HE FINALLY CAME UP, SO WE'RE
TRYING TO CLOSE THE GAP AND

SEE IF WE CAN HARPOON HIM.

WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING.

THIS IS OUR FIRST OPPORTUNITY
WITH THE FISH COMING UP TO THE

SURFACE SO WE WANT TO
SEE IF WE CAN HARPOON IT.

HE'S A SAVAGE.

I KNOW, I KNOW, I'M READY.

DON'T WORRY,
JUST KEEP REELING.

LET ME GET UP IN THERE.

DRIVE OVER THERE,
DRIVE OVER THERE.

DRIVE FORWARD
OVER BY THE TUNA.

DRIVE AWAY, NEUTRAL.

BACK UP, BACK UP,
BACK UP, BACK UP.

NEUTRAL, COME HERE, FUDGY.

TYLER MCLAUGHLIN:
GREAT WAY TO START THE SEASON.

NICK "DUFFY" FUDGE: OH, YEAH.

TYLER MCLAUGHLIN: PUTTING
US TO THE ULTIMATE TEST.

WHOO, PINWHEEL'S GOT THE FIRST
ONE OF THE SEASON, 12 HOURS,

LITERALLY THE LONGEST
BATTLE OF MY LIFE.

TJ OTT: WOW, DID
YOU HEAR THAT?

PINHEAD JUST TIED THAT
FISH UP FROM LAST NIGHT.

THAT'S IT.

HE JUST TIED IT UP, YEAH.

JARRETT PRZYBYSZEWSKI:
ARE YOU SERIOUS?

TJ OTT: YEAH, YOU DON'T
HEAR HIM SCREAMING?

TYLER MCLAUGHLIN: OH MY GOD.

WOW, FOR THE FIRST
FISH OF THIS SEASON,

WE SURE HAD TO WORK FOR IT.

JASON MUENZNER:
WOW, CRAZY, HUH?

DAVE MARCIANO: GOOD
FOR HIM, I GUESS.

JASON MUENZNER: YUP.

DAVE MARCIANO: DAVE'S EYEBALL
IS PROBABLY TWITCHING OUT OF

HEAD THOUGH IF HE'S
HEARING THIS, TOO.

GEORDIE SOUSA:
TYLER CAUGHT THE FIRST ONE.

DAVE CARRARO: HE
FOUGHT IT FOR 12 HOURS?

GEORDIE SOUSA: YEAH.

DAVE CARRARO: WHO CARES?

I DON'T WANT TO GIVE
ANY CREDIT TO TYLER.

THERE'S NO WAY I'M
THREATENED BY HIM.

TYLER IS A LOSER, MAYBE
HE'LL LOSE THE NEXT 12.

BRAD KRASOWSKI: FIRST
DAY OF THE SEASON,

WE'RE HEADING OUT NOW,
TRY TO GET ON SOME FISH.

I'M BRAD KRASOWSKI,
CAPTAIN OF THE FISH HAWK.

FISHING'S ALWAYS BEEN A
LOT MORE THAN A JOB FOR ME.

I ALWAYS HAD SOLACE TO
BE ABLE TO LEAVE LAND AND

JUST FISH TO PROVIDE FOR
MY FAMILY SO WE CAN SURVIVE.

MATT MATTSON:
PREPPING THE FLAG,

GETTING READY FOR
A GOOD TUNA SEASON.

HOPEFULLY, THE NEW FLAG
WILL BRING US SOME LUCK.

BRAD'S DAUGHTER MADE THE LOGO.

BRAD KRASOWSKI: MY FIRST
MATE IS MATT MATTSON.

HE'S JUST A GUY THAT YOU CAN
TAKE OUT AND YOU CAN GIVE HIM

ORDERS, AND HE'LL DO
WHAT YOU WANT HIM TO DO.

MATT MATTSON: WHEN
BRAD GOT TO GLOUCESTER,

HE HAD CALLED ME AND SAID,

"DO YOU WANT TO
GO TUNA FISHING?"

I DROPPED RIGHT
WHAT I WAS DOING.

I WENT RIGHT DOWN THE BOAT.

WE GOT THE BOAT RIGGED UP.

BRAD IS A FISH MANIAC.

IF IT HAS A TAIL,
HE HAS A HOOK.

HE'S JUST A FISHY, FISHY
GUY, VERY GOOD FISHERMAN.

GO CHECK IT OUT,
IT LOOKS GOOD.

BRAD KRASOWSKI: GOOD,
HERE COMES THE PISSAH.

LAST SEASON, I WAS FIRST
MATE ON THE WICKED PISSAH,

PAUL'S BOAT.

HEY, I WANT TO,
I WANT TO SLOW DOWN HERE.

WE HAD A LITTLE BIT OF A
ROCKY ROAD IN THE BEGINNING,

BUT THEN WE GOT IT
STRAIGHTENED OUT,

AND WE DID REALLY WELL.

PAUL HEBERT: GOT HIM!

OH, YEAH.

BRAD KRASOWSKI: BUT WE
CAME UP JUST SHORT OF BEING

THE NUMBER ONE BOAT.

PAUL HEBERT:
THANKS, THANKS BRAD.

NEXT YEAR, WE'RE
GONNA SMOKE 'EM.

BRAD KRASOWSKI: GOOD JOB.

BUT NOW I'VE GOT MY OWN
BOAT, SO PAUL AND I WILL BE

COMPETITORS THIS SEASON.

HERE, PAUL'S RIGHT
HERE IN FRONT OF US.

WE'RE JUST GONNA STOP
BY AND SEE WHAT HE SAYS.

[LAUGHTER]

PAUL HEBERT: HEY!

MATT MATTSON: WHAT DO YOU
THINK ABOUT THE NEW BOAT?

PAUL HEBERT:
THE BOAT LOOKS GOOD.

LOOKS REALLY,
REALLY GOOD, MAN.

BRAD IS A
REMARKABLE FISHERMAN.

EACH OF US HAS BEEN FISHING
HERE FOR MORE THAN 40 YEARS.

BRAD AND I HAVE FORGOTTEN
MORE ABOUT FISHING THAN 99%

OF THE PEOPLE EVEN KNOW.

WE FORGOT.

BRAD KRASOWSKI: PAUL AND
I TOGETHER LAST YEAR,

WE SHOULD'VE WON.

WE LOST BY A
HUNDRED FREAKING DOLLARS.

PAUL HEBERT: I KNOW,
WE GOT [INAUDIBLE].

BRAD KRASOWSKI:
CROCK OF (BLEEP).

PAUL HEBERT: IS IT GONNA BE
HARD TO HAVE BRAD NOT FISH

WITH ME?

ABSOLUTELY, HE'S ONE
OF MY BEST FRIENDS AND

THE BEST FISHERMAN AROUND.

THIS SEASON RICK HAS
VERY BIG SHOES TO FILL,

AND I HAVE TO PROVE THAT I
CAN STILL BE SUCCESSFUL WITH

A NEW GREENHORN MATE.

RICK SCHRAFFT: ANY WORDS
OF WISDOM FOR ME, BRAD?

BRAD KRASOWSKI:
WORDS OF WISDOM?

JUST PRAY, PRAY YOU'LL
CATCH A LOT OF TUNA AND

YOU'LL BE FINE.

RICK SCHRAFFT: THAT'S
WHAT WE'RE PLANNING ON DOING.

BRAD KRASOWSKI:
I THINK WITH ME AND PAUL,

IT'S REALLY FRIENDLY RIVALRY,
BECAUSE I HELPED HIM,

HE HELPED ME.

WE HELPED EACH OTHER.

AND NOW I HAVE MY OWN BOAT,
AND ONE OF US WILL CATCH MORE

THAN THE OTHER.

WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

WE LOVE YOU GUYS, AND
YOU'RE GONNA CATCH A TON.

YOU'RE GONNA CATCH...

PAUL HEBERT: YOU GUYS BE
SAFE AND GOOD LUCK, ALL RIGHT?

BRAD KRASOWSKI: OKAY.

MATT MATTSON: THANKS, GUYS.

RICK SCHRAFFT:
THANKS A LOT, BOYS.

BRAD KRASOWSKI: WELL, SEE YA.

WE'LL GO GET A BEER WHEN
WE GET IN WITH SOME FISH.

PAUL HEBERT: YOU GOT IT.

RICK SCHRAFFT: CATCH 'EM UP.

BRAD KRASOWSKI:
WHOO, DOGGY, YE-HA!

PAUL HEBERT: HE'S
GOT A NICE BOAT, HUH?

RICK SCHRAFFT: YEAH.

[CLICKING]

JOE MARCIANO: WAIT, WHOA.

JASON MUENZNER: WHAT?

JOE MARCIANO: IS
IT BOUNCING LIKE THAT?

JASON MUENZNER:
YOU HEAR SOMETHING?

DAVE MARCIANO: THERE
MIGHT BE A FISH DOWN THERE.

OH, YEAH, HE CHARGED
RIGHT UP OFF THE BOTTOM.

JASON MUENZNER: HE HIT IT.

JOE MARCIANO: HE HIT IT.

HE WAS BOUNCING LIKE THIS.

DAVE MARCIANO:
WELL THAT WAS HIM.

HE COME UP AND NAILED IT.

HE SHOT RIGHT UP
OFF THE BOTTOM.

HE PLUCKED IT RIGHT OFF.

YOU COULD SEE THE MARK
RIGHT IN THE MACHINE, JAY.

JASON MUENZNER: YEAH,
I SEE IT, I SEE IT.

DAVE MARCIANO: SHEESH,
WE CAN'T CATCH A BREAK TODAY.

I WATCHED RIGHT IN THE
MACHINE, PLUCKED IT OFF.

THIS SEASON, I'M BACK FISHING
WITH MY NEPHEW AND FIRST MATE,

JAY, AND MY SON, JOE.

AND AFTER A ROUGH WINTER,
GETTING THIS FIRST FISH IS

LIKE GETTING THAT,
NEVER MIND MONKEY,

IT'S LIKE GETTING THAT
GORILLA OFF YOUR BACK.

THE WHOLE REASON I
DO WHAT I DO IS I HAVE A

JASON MUENZNER: THERE'S
A LOT THAT CAN GO WRONG AND

THERE'S ONLY ONE THING

JASON MUENZNER: THERE'S
A LOT THAT CAN GO WRONG AND

THERE'S ONLY ONE THING

[INAUDIBLE].

WE'RE HOOKED UP TO OUR FIRST
FISH OF THE SEASON AFTER

COMPLETELY STRIKING OUT AND
GETTING ZERO IN THE OUTER BANKS,

WE NEED TO PUT SOME
FISH IN THE DECK TO MAKE UP

FOR THE LOSSES WE
HAD DOWN THERE.

KEEP THAT THING COMING.

JOE MARCIANO: REEL,

WE'RE GONNA BE WINNING ALL

THE WAY TO THE BANK.

ALL RIGHT, GUT, IT LOOKS
LIKE A PRETTY DECENT FISH.

DAVE MARCIANO: IT'S BEEN WELL
OVER SIX MONTHS SINCE I CAUGHT

MY LAST BLUEFIN.

SO BRINGING IN THIS NICE
QUALITY FISH TO START OFF OUR

SEASON IS JUST WHAT
THE DOCTOR ORDERED.

JASON MUENZNER:
ALL RIGHT DAVE, LET'S GO.

BRAD KRASOWSKI: THE FISH HAWK,

I BOUGHT THIS BOAT
LAST WEEK, A WEEK AGO.

I'M VERY HAPPY
WITH IT SO FAR.

HAPPY TO BE ON MY OWN AGAIN.

DOING MY OWN THING THE
WAY I LIKE TO DO IT.

IT'S NICE,
IT'S A NICE FREEDOM.

I HAD MY OWN BOATS MY
WHOLE LIFE AND I JUST KIND OF

GOT TO THE POINT WHERE
I WAS JUST FED UP.

IT TOOK ME FOUR OR FIVE YEARS
OF DOING OTHER JOBS TO REALIZE

THAT FISHING'S ALWAYS BEEN
A LOT MORE THAN A JOB FOR ME,

SO THAT LED ME TO FISH
WITH PAUL LAST YEAR AND NOW

START A CLEAN SLATE
AND GET MY OWN BOAT AGAIN.

MATT MATTSON: HADDOCK
BRAD, I GOT A HADDOCK.

BRAD KRASOWSKI: YOU DO?

MATT MATTSON: HADDOCK, WHOO!

ME AND BRAD ARE TWO MEN
FROM TWO DIFFERENT WORLDS,

BUT FOR THE FACT THAT I MET
HIM WHEN I WAS A YOUNG KID.

I DID A LOT OF WORK FOR
HIM, ALWAYS RESPECTED HIM,

AND HE KNEW IF HE EVER GETS
A BOAT AND IF HE EVER NEEDS A

GUY, I'LL BE THERE NO MATTER
WHERE HE IS AND I'LL BE THERE.

I'LL BE THERE FOR
HIM NO MATTER WHAT.

THEY SAY THE FIRST
ONE'S THE HARDEST,

BUT LET'S SEE IF WE CAN
GET THE FIRST ONE AND MAKE

IT THE EASIEST.

[CLICKING]

[REEL UNSPOOLS RAPIDLY].

FISH ON!

BRAD KRASOWSKI:
WE'RE ON, WE'RE ON!

MATT MATTSON: WE'RE ON.

BRAD KRASOWSKI: ALL RIGHT,
GOT HIM ON THE DRIFT, BABY.

WHOO, COME TO PAPA.

MATT MATTSON: THAT'S A TUNA,
THAT'S DEFINITELY A TUNA.

A SHARK AIN'T GONNA
SWIM THAT FAST.

MAYBE THE TUNA GODS
ARE WATCHING DOWN.

DAVE CARRARO:
THEY'RE DOWN AND TIGHT.

SANDRO MANIACI: WHO IS?

DAVE CARRARO: BRAD.

SANDRO MANIACI: OH, REALLY?

DAVE CARRARO: BRAD
IS DOWN AND TIGHT.

TJ OTT: SO FISHY, MAN.

THEY SAY HE'S ON, RIGHT?

JARRETT PRZYBYSZEWSKI:
DOT COM SAID HE'S ON.

TJ OTT: BRAD JUST GOT A
BITE ON THE FISH HAWK.

THAT'S KIND OF WHAT WE
EXPECT TO SEE FROM HIM.

HE'S A REAL FISHY GUY.

SEEMS TO GET BITES WHEN NO
ONE ELSE CAN GET A BITE, MAN,

HE'S JUST ONE OF THOSE DUDES.

WE ALL KNEW THAT WAS COMING.

PAUL HEBERT: BRAD'S GONNA
CATCH A LOT OF FISH.

HE ALWAYS DOES.

HE'S A GOOD FISHERMAN AND
HE WORKS REALLY HARD AT IT.

LAST YEAR, BRAD AND I HAD
A GREAT YEAR SEASON TOGETHER.

NOW, WE'RE FISHING
AGAINST EACH OTHER.

I'M STILL HAPPY FOR HIM,
BUT I STILL WANNA CATCH ONE

MORE THAN HIM.

MATT MATTSON:
WE GOT A SCREAMER.

BRAD KRASOWSKI:
HE'S SMOKING NOW.

HE WAS, HE WAS DOCILE IN
THE BEGINNING AND NOW,

HE'S REALLY TAKING
A BUNCH OF DRAG AND

WE'RE GONNA RUN HIM
DOWN NOW A LITTLE BIT.

MATT MATTSON: NOW, IT'S MY
TURN TO TAKE A LITTLE BACK.

MIGHT BE A BEAST.

HE'S A MAMBO.

IT'D BE NICE IF THE TUNA
GODS JUST LOOKED DOWN UPON US

ONE TIME, LET US
GET THIS FISH HERE.

THIS IS A REAL ONE, MY FRIEND.

PORT, GO PORT, TURN PORT!

BRAD KRASOWSKI:
WATCH THAT BOAT!

MATT MATTSON: BEAST
VERSUS BEAST, MY FRIEND.

WHOO, GOOD JOB, BRAD!

I GOT LEADER.

BRAD KRASOWSKI: WHAT?

MATT MATTSON:
I GOT THE LEADER.

BRAD KRASOWSKI:
IS HE TAIL WRAPPED?

MATT MATTSON: WHAT?

BRAD KRASOWSKI: HE'S
TAIL WRAPPED, KEEP GOING.

MATT MATTSON: OH GOD,
SHOULD WE JUST GAFFE HIM?

BRAD KRASOWSKI:
TIP OF THE TAIL ON?

MATT MATTSON: LOOKING GOOD.

BRAD KRASOWSKI: IT'S COMING
OFF, IT'S COMING OUT.

MATT MATTSON: GET A HARPOON,
HARPOON HIM, GOOD JOB!

BRAD KRASOWSKI: ALL
RIGHT, LET'S GET THE GAFF.

MATT MATTSON: NICE JOB, BRAD.

NICE JOB, LET'S
GET HIM IN THERE.

GOT HIM, TAIL ROPE.

BRAD KRASOWSKI: HE'S
HOOKED ON THE TAIL.

MATT MATTSON: OH, MY GOD.

BRAD KRASOWSKI: THERE YOU GO.

JUST LIKE THAT, IT'S
GAME OVER BOYS, WHOO!

MATT MATTSON: WHOO!

BRAD KRASOWSKI: THAT'S A GOOD
WAY TO START THE SEASON, WHOO!

MATT MATTSON:
ALL RIGHT, ICE BREAKER.

BRAD KRASOWSKI: GOOD JOB, BUD.

MATT MATTSON: GOOD JOB, MAN.

COME ON, KEEP HER GOING.

WHAT DO WE GOT?

BRAD KRASOWSKI: HE SACRIFICED
HIS LIFE TODAY SO WE COULD

SURVIVE AND PEOPLE CAN EAT.

MATT MATTSON: GAVE
HIS LIFE FOR US.

BRAD KRASOWSKI: GOD BLESS HIM.

KEEP GOING, GOOD, PERFECT.

WHAT A NICE FISH.

MATT MATTSON: BEAUTIFUL.

BRAD KRASOWSKI: GOD
BLESS YOU, BUDDY.

MATT MATTSON: BEAUTIFUL COLOR.

BRAD KRASOWSKI: 82
INCHER, BEAUTIFUL FISH.

MATT MATTSON: FIRST FISH
IS THE HARDEST FISH.

NOW WE BROKE THE ICE, THEY
SHOULD ALL COME LIKE A BREEZE.

YEAH.

BRAD KRASOWSKI: I'D SAY
THAT THING'S CHILLING.

DAVE CARRARO: HEY, DO
YOU GUYS REMEMBER WHEN RODS

USED TO BEND OVER?

SANDRO MANIACI: CRAZY, MAN.

DAVE CARRARO: WHY
CAN'T WE DO THAT NOW?

WE'RE STILL LOOKING FOR OUR
FIRST FISH OF THE SEASON.

THAT FIRST FISH SOMETIMES
IS THE HARDEST ONE TO CATCH,

BUT AFTER THAT, THEY GET
EASIER AND EASIER EACH TIME.

[BEEPING]

THERE HE IS, STREAKER.

GEORDIE SOUSA: STREAKING.

DAVE CARRARO:
THAT'S A NICE ONE.

FISH CAME IN AT 100 FEET
AND STREAKED RIGHT UP TO THE

BOTTOM OF THE BOAT HERE.

PROBABLY LOOKING FOR FOOD.

THAT'S GOOD THOUGH.

NICE FISH.

TJ OTT: THIS IS THE START OF
THE SEASON AND THERE'S OTHER

GUYS THAT ARE DEFINITELY
HAVING BETTER FISHING THAN

WE'RE HAVING.

WE CAN'T AFFORD TO FALL
BEHIND THE LEADERS THIS EARLY

IN THE SEASON.

IT'S NOT A GOOD
STARTING POINT.

DAVE CARRARO: MARKED ONE HERE.

STREAKED RIGHT UP TO 40 FEET.

MIKE OTT: DOT COM SAID
HE JUST MARKED ONE.

TJ OTT: OH BABY,
SOMEBODY'S GONNA GET HIM.

[BEEPING]

DAVE CARRARO: HERE HE COMES.

THAT'S A STREAKER,
THAT'S GOING OFF.

COME ON, HIT IT.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

GEORDIE SOUSA: OH,
HE'S STILL ON IT.

HE'S STILL ON IT,
YEAH, HE'S ON IT!

[REEL UNSPOOLING RAPIDLY]

YOU'RE OFF.

DAVE CARRARO: YEAH, ALL RIGHT.

GEORDIE SOUSA:
THAT'S A DOWN ROD BITE, BUB.

SANDRO MANIACI: A
NEW DAY, A NEW BEGINNING.

GEORDIE SOUSA: THAT WAS SICK.

SANDRO MANIACI: YEAH, THAT'S
A NICE BITE RIGHT THERE.

TJ OTT: DOUBLE, LET THAT

GO TO THE BOW, MICHAEL.

I'LL HAND YOU THE ROD.

I NEED MICHAEL TO TAKE THE
ROD TO THE BOW SO IT DOESN'T

GET TANGLED WITH THE FISH
THAT JARRETT IS FIGHTING.

WATCH IT.

IT'S BACKED UP TOO FAR NOW.

MIKE OTT: TJ, YOU GOT
TO CALM DOWN AND DON'T WORRY

ABOUT THE BACK.

TJ OTT: WATCH THE WINDOW.

MIKE OTT: OKAY.

SANDRO MANIACI: HOPEFULLY
WE CAN LAND HIM, THAT'S ALL.

DAVE CARRARO:
I'M GLAD WE GOT ONE.

THE DOT COM WAY
IS VERY SIMPLE,

FISH HARDER AND SMARTER
THAN EVERYONE ELSE.

ONLY A MATTER OF TIME
BEFORE WE ARE BACK ON TOP.

SANDRO MANIACI: THAT FIRST
ONE IS THE HARDEST ONE.

WHOO, FELT GOOD!

TJ OTT: OH BUBBY, BRING

MIKE OTT: DUDE,

TJ OTT: ANY TIME YOU HOOK
A DOUBLE HOOK-UP ON THESE

BLUEFIN, THERE'S
NO ROOM FOR ERROR,

THERE'S NO TIME FOR MISTAKES.

AND EVERYONE HAS TO
BE ON THEIR A GAME.

JARRETT PRZYBYSZEWSKI: TJ?

TJ OTT: WALK HIM BACK, BUBBY.

TRY AND JUST KEEP

AS LONG AS WE CAN KEEP THEM
UNTANGLED AND WORK ON ONE,

WE'LL BE ALL RIGHT.

MIKE OTT: WE GOT THEM

WE GOT THIS ONE ALL THE
WAY OUT WHERE WE WANT HIM.

IT'S LIKE WALKING A DOG.
