AT THE START
OF WEEK TEN OF FISHING,
WITH THE CLOCK RUNNING
OUT ON TUNA SEASON,
IT'S CRUNCH TIME FOR THE
FLEET'S UNDERPERFORMERS:
HOT TUNA, WICKED PISSAH,
FISH HAWK, AND ESPECIALLY
THE TROUBLED
HARD MERCHANDISE WHO HAVE
NOT CAUGHT A FISH IN A MONTH.
[BELL RINGS]
[EMERGENCY BROADCAST ALARM]

FORECAST FOR EASTERN
MASSACHUSETTS ISSUED

[EMERGENCY BROADCAST ALARM]
NOW FOR THE OFFICIAL NATIONAL
WEATHER SERVICE FORECAST...
NICK "DUFFY" FUDGE:
PRETTY SNOTTY OUT THERE.
TYLER MCLAUGHLIN: SURE
AIN'T STOPPING US.
RADIO: 7:21 AM, DOPPLER
RADAR INDICATED.
TYLER MCLAUGHLIN: IT'S BLOWING
40 OR 50 RIGHT NOW AND
DOT COM'S RIGHT OVER THERE,
SO WE'RE GOING HEAD TO HEAD.
WE BOTH WANT IT BAD.
WE'RE ONLY FOUR GRAND
BEHIND THAT GUY RIGHT NOW,
SO ONE GOOD FISH COULD
PUT US OVER THE TOP.
[EMERGENCY BROADCAST ALARM]
RADIO: THIS IS A DANGEROUS
STORM FOR BOATERS AT SEA...
DAVE CARRARO: THIS IS
GONNA BE A NIGHTMARE HERE
IN A LITTLE BIT.
PAUL HEBERT: THIS IS THE
WEATHER THAT SEPARATES THE MEN
FROM THE BOYS.
MY FAMILY'S BEEN OUT HERE
BLUEFIN TUNA FISHING
FOR THREE GENERATIONS.
IF YOU THINK MY FATHER AND MY
GRANDFATHER BITCHED ABOUT
A LITTLE RAIN, YOU GOT
ANOTHER THING COMING.
RICK SCHRAFFT: WE GOT
TWO LINES OUT RIGHT NOW,
I'M HOPING FOR
THAT MORNING BITE.
PAUL HEBERT: WE'RE NOT HAVING
THE SEASON OF OUR LIVES RIGHT
NOW AND WINTER IS COMING.
WE NEED TO CAPITALIZE ON THE
BITE RIGHT NOW SO WE CAN EARN
SOME MONEY AND PUT
FOOD ON THE TABLE.
[CLICKING]
[REEL UNSPOOLING]
WHOA, WHOA, WHOA,
WHOA, WHOA, WHOA.
WE'RE ON, HERE WE
GO, BROTHER, FISH ON!
KEEP AN EYE ON IT,
DON'T LET IT GET LOOSE.
DO YOU WANNA TAKE
YOUR SWEATER OFF?
RICK SCHRAFFT: YEAH, I DO.
PAUL HEBERT: GO, HERE YOU GO.
RICK'S DOING A
GOOD JOB RIGHT NOW.
IT'S NOT EASY HUH, RICK?
RICK SCHRAFFT: NO.
PAUL HEBERT: YOU GOT
HIM ALL CONFUSED, RICK.
YOU DID REALLY GOOD.
GO AHEAD, BUDDY, YOU GOT HIM.
YOU'RE IN A PINWHEEL.
I DON'T HAVE TO MOVE NOW.
NOW, THERE YOU GO, THERE
YOU GO, HE'S COMING, BUDDY,
HE'S COMING,
YOU GOT THIS.
HEY, NICE JOB,
HE'S RIGHT THERE.
HE'S ONLY 60 FEET AWAY.
THERE YOU GO,
HE'S GONNA BREAK.
YOU'RE GONNA GET HIM.
KEEP HIM COMING, TIGHT, TIGHT.
NICE JOB, BRING HIM RIGHT OUT.
BRING HIM RIGHT OUT.
SEE HOW HE'S COMING?
GOT HIM!
YOU'RE DOING
PHENOMENAL, BUDDY.
OH, I GOT HIM, PULL, GOOD JOB.
YOU SMOKED HIM AT THE END.
RICK SCHRAFFT: THANKS, PAUL.
PAUL HEBERT: I THINK
YOU GOT IT LICKED.
THAT RIGHT THERE
IS HOW IT'S DONE.
I'M TEMPTED TO TAKE THIS
FISH RIGHT IN TO THE BUYER.
BUT WE NEED A COUPLE MORE
SO WE'RE GONNA STICK IT OUT,
RIDE THE STORM OUT AND SEE
WHAT ELSE WE CAN CATCH.
94, BABY.
RICK SCHRAFFT: WOW.
PAUL HEBERT: BEAUTIFUL FISH.
UNREAL, UNBELIEVABLE.
JASON MUENZNER: YOU KNOW IT'S
GONNA BE A ROUGH COUPLE DAYS
WHEN THE COAST GUARD'S
HANGING AROUND.
DAVE MARCIANO: LET'S
GET THIS ON THE BOAT.
JOE MARCIANO:
THIS THING'S HEAVY.
DAVE MARCIANO: OVER
THE PAST NINE WEEKS,
WE'VE ONLY GOTTEN THREE FISH.
AND LAST WEEK, THE SEASON WENT
FROM BAD TO WORSE WHEN THE
COAST GUARD SENT US
BACK TO SHORE EARLY.
COAST GUARD: BY LAW, YOU CAN'T
BE OUT HERE FISHING WITH AN
OUT-OF-DATE LIFE RAFT,
SO YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO
HEAD BACK TO PORT.
DAVE MARCIANO: YEAH, YEAH.
I ENDED UP HAVING TO BORROW
MONEY TO FIX THE RAFT.
DON'T JUST DROP IT.
IT COST ME A THOUSAND
BUCKS TO GET THAT REPACKED.
WE KNOW THAT THERE'S SOME
BIG STORMS COMING IN THAT ARE
GONNA AFFECT FISHING
FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS.
BUT WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO?
SIT AT THE DOCK
AND WAIT IT OUT?
WE'RE BEHIND, WE'RE IN DEBT,
WE NEED TO MAKE MONEY RIGHT NOW.
JASON MUENZNER: FINALLY,
WE GOT THAT RAFT.
THIS IS THE TIME THAT THE
FISH ARE REALLY BITING.
IF THEY GO NUTS, WE CAN'T
AFFORD TO MISS OUT ON IT.
DAVE MARCIANO:
CAREFUL WITH THAT.
JASON MUENZNER: WE'RE
JUST GONNA GO SLOW, JOE.
JOE MARCIANO: YEAH.
THE SEASON'S
COMING TO A CLOSE.
WE'RE REALLY
DESPERATE RIGHT NOW.
WE GOT TO RIDE OUT THE
STORM AND FISH THROUGH IT.
DAVE MARCIANO: ALL RIGHT,
GUYS, LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.
JAY, MAKE SURE THE LIFE VEST AND
FLARES ARE WITHIN EASY REACH.
TJ OTT: WE JUST GOT TO GET
OUT THERE AND GIVE IT HELL,
YOU KNOW, I'M STOKED.
THE GUYS ARE STOKED, THE DOGS
ARE STOKED, WE'RE ALL STOKED.
MIKE OTT: JUST HEADING OUT
OF THE HARBOR RIGHT NOW,
JUST LOADING UP
ALL THE GROCERIES,
GOT THE FRIDGE STOCKED,
GOT THE FREEZER STOCKED,
BOTH COOLERS ARE JAM PACKED.
WE GOT A LOT OF
STUFF THIS TRIP.
WE'RE PLANNING ON STAYING OUT
THERE FOR A BIT AND HOPEFULLY
CAPITALIZE ON A
COUPLE OF FISH,
COME HOME WITH A FULL HULL.
[CELL PHONE RINGING]
TJ OTT: OH, BABA, BABA.
BRAD KRASOWSKI: BATTEN
DOWN THE HATCHES, DUDE.
TJ OTT: WHY?
BRAD KRASOWSKI:
THERE'S SOME FREAKY [BLEEP]
ABOUT TO HIT, BRO.
YEAH, WE GOT SOME KIND OF
NASTY FRONT COMING AND IT'S
SUPPOSED TO BLOW 20.
TJ OTT: I DON'T EVEN SEE
NOTHING ON THE RADAR.
JARRETT PRZYBYSZEWSKI:
OVER THERE, DUDE.
BRAD KRASOWSKI: OH, YOU'RE
ALREADY ON YOUR WAY OUT?
TJ OTT: WE'RE GOING AROUND
THE JETTY RIGHT NOW.
BRAD KRASOWSKI: OH, GOD!
IT COULD GET UGLY REAL FAST.
I'VE BEEN THROUGH
BAD WEATHER BEFORE,
WE'RE GONNA STAY OUT
HERE NO MATTER WHAT.
WE NEED THE MONEY TOO BAD.
TJ OTT: LET ME LOOK AT THE
RADAR, I'LL CALL YOU BACK.
JARRETT PRZYBYSZEWSKI:
OH, WOW, LOOK AT THAT.
TJ OTT: IS THAT COMING TO US?
JARRETT PRZYBYSZEWSKI:
USUALLY, IT'S JUST
RED AND YELLOW DUDE.
THAT'S LIKE,
[BLEEP] IT'S PURPLE.
TJ OTT: YEAH, YOU CHECK
YOUR RADAR PERIODICALLY,
BUT I HAVEN'T
LOOKED AT THE RADAR.
NORMALLY, I WOULD LOOK AT
THE RADAR BEFORE I HEAD OUT.
THIS IS DEFINITELY MORE
THAN A LITTLE RAINSTORM MAN.
THIS IS LIKE, THIS
IS PRETTY GNARLY,
TORNADO WARNINGS AND
HAIL WARNINGS AND,
THAT'S US AND YOU CAN SEE IT'S
PUSHING RIGHT DOWN ON US,
SO LIGHTNING AND FIBERGLASS
AND METAL, NO BUENO.
WE'RE JUST GONNA GO BACK TO
THE DOCK AND WAIT A COUPLE OF
HOURS AND THEN LET
IT KIND OF RIDE.
THERE'S PLENTY OF GUYS BEFORE
ME THAT WERE MUCH BETTER
CAPTAINS THAN I AM THAT GOT
CAUGHT IN STORMS THAT WEREN'T
EVEN THAT BAD AND
LOST THEIR LIVES.
SO, IF I SEE A STORM
LIKE THIS APPROACHING,
I THINK THE SAFEST THING TO
DO IS TO PUT MY BOAT OUT OF
HARM'S WAY AND MAKE
SURE EVERYONE'S SAFE.
MIKE OTT: I THINK WE
SHOULD STICK IT OUT.
TJ OTT: MIKE, IF YOU GOT
SOMETHING TO SAY, JUST SAY IT.
MIKE OTT: I DON'T AGREE
WITH THIS ONE BIT.
TJ'S HAPPY IN THE
MIDDLE OF THE PACK,
BUT WE GOT BILLS TO PAY.
AND THIS CLOSE TO THE
END OF THE SEASON,
WE NEED TO FISH HARD
AND FINISH STRONG.
TJ OTT: AS CAPTAIN,
THIS IS MY DECISION AND
THAT'S THE END OF IT.
MIKE OTT: DAMMIT.
TJ OTT: I CAN'T BELIEVE
THERE'S A STORM THAT'S COMING.
MIKE OTT: THIS NEEDS TO STOP.
THIS BOAT BEING TIED
TO THE DOCK ISN'T
GONNA DO US ANY GOOD.
WE NEED TO BE OUT THERE,
WE NEED TO BE FISHING.
THIS SUCKS.
YOU'RE MAKING A BAD CALL, TJ.
YOU CAN'T WIN IF
YOU DON'T PLAY.
TYLER MCLAUGHLIN: WE GOT
THE STORM OF THE CENTURY
COMING IN NOW.
GOTTA GET A BITE HERE,
GOTTA GET A BITE.
WE'RE ABOUT TO GET
ABSOLUTELY PUMMELED.
WHEN YOU'RE FISHING IN
STORMS, A LOT CAN GO WRONG.
I MEAN, WHEN THERE'S
LIGHTNING AROUND,
YOUR BOAT COULD GET STRUCK.
I MEAN, WE'RE THE HIGHEST
THING AROUND AND YOU DON'T
WANNA GET A HOLE IN THE BOTTOM
OF YOUR BOAT BECAUSE YOU'RE
GONNA BE SINKING
AWFULLY QUICK.
PRETTY SURE ALL THE MEGA
YACHTS ARE AT THE DOCK TOO.
ALL THE GUYS THAT
HAVE 40-FOOT BOATS.
I MEAN, WE'RE ON DOT COM'S
TAIL RIGHT NOW AND WE REALLY
NEED THESE FISH AND IF WE GOT
TO FISH THROUGH SOME WEATHER,
WE'RE GONNA DO IT.
[BEEPING]
OH WE'RE MARKING, NICE MARKS.
WHENEVER YOU HAVE ANY SORT OF
PRESSURE CHANGE IN FISHING,
YOU ALWAYS HAVE GOOD FISHING.
THERE'S ALWAYS GOOD BITES
AND GOOD THINGS BECAUSE THE
ANIMALS FREAK OUT TOO
BECAUSE THEY GET NERVOUS,
SO THEY FEED BEFORE THEY GO
IN TO HIDE OUT FOR THE STORM.
BUT ONCE THEY DO
GO DEEP, THAT'S IT.
SO WE GOT TO CAPITALIZE
ON THE BITE RIGHT NOW.
OH, HERE IT COMES.
YOU CAN FEEL IT NOW.
HERE WE GO, HIDING OUT TIME.
IT'S GONNA BLOW LIKE
50 IN TWO SECONDS.
[CLICKING]
[REEL UNSPOOLING RAPIDLY]
NICK "DUFFY" FUDGE:
YEAH, BABY, HOOKED UP!
WE NEED THIS ONE, T!
WE'RE RIGHT ON DOT COM'S
HEELS, BROTHER.
HERE, WE GOT IT.
NOT A LOT OF TIME
LEFT IN THE SEASON,
THIS FISH IS REALLY
KEY FOR US RIGHT NOW.
WE REALLY NEED TO
GET HIM ON THE BOAT.
TYLER MCLAUGHLIN:
CLOCK'S TICKING, DUFFY,
I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY MORE BITES
WE'RE GONNA GET THIS SEASON.
NICK "DUFFY" FUDGE:
I KNOW, I KNOW, MAN.
TYLER MCLAUGHLIN: LET'S
CAPITALIZE ON THIS ONE.
NICK "DUFFY" FUDGE:
WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA.
BACK TO PORT.
TYLER MCLAUGHLIN: GET
SOME, DUFFY, KEEP GOING.
YOU'RE DOING GOOD, BROTHER.
NICK "DUFFY" FUDGE:
OH, I'M GETTING SOME.
I SEE THE SWIVEL.
WE'RE LIKE 30 YARDS OFF.
COMING AROUND, SWIVEL,
DEEP COLOR, UP HIGH.
TYLER MCLAUGHLIN: KEEPER?
NICK "DUFFY" FUDGE: YEAH,
YEAH, YO, GET READY, T.
[THUNDER AND LIGHTNING]
TYLER MCLAUGHLIN:
PUSH IT OUT, KEEP GOING.
YOU'RE FINE, GO.
[THUNDER AND LIGHTNING]
NICK "DUFFY" FUDGE:
UP HIGH AGAIN.
TYLER MCLAUGHLIN: HE'S BIG.
NICK "DUFFY" FUDGE: QUICK.
TYLER MCLAUGHLIN: HE'S GREEN.
NICK "DUFFY" FUDGE:
HE'S REAL GREEN.
TYLER MCLAUGHLIN: THIS FISH IS
ACTING VERY WEIRD AT THE BOAT.
VERY SKITTISH, DANGEROUS.
WE COULD LOSE THE FISH UNDER
THE BOAT AT ANY POINT IN TIME.
NICK "DUFFY" FUDGE:
COMING AT US!
COLOR, RIGHT THERE.
HE'S COMING UP AROUND.
WE NEED THIS FISH, T.
GOT HIM?
TYLER MCLAUGHLIN: I
THREW IT RIGHT OVER HIM,
BACK THE DRAG OFF.
WHAT THE HECK, I
COULDN'T SEE HIM.
WE'RE GETTING HIM
THIS TIME, BROTHER.
LET'S GET HIM THIS TIME.
NICK "DUFFY" FUDGE:
RIGHT HERE, T.
COLOR, STICK HIM, YOU GET HIM?
TYLER MCLAUGHLIN:
NO, WHAT THE HELL?
I, THAT WAS A GOOD THROW,
I LINED HIM UP, BRO.
NICK "DUFFY" FUDGE: LET'S
JUST WORRY ABOUT THE NEXT SHOT.
[THUNDER AND LIGHTNING]
COLOR!
GET HIM, GET HIM.
THROW THE DART,
THROW THE DART, STICK HIM!
TYLER MCLAUGHLIN:
I LINED HIM UP, BRO.
NICK "DUFFY" FUDGE: JUST
WORRY ABOUT THE NEXT SHOT.
COLOR, GET HIM, GET HIM!
STICK HIM!
ALL RIGHT, BROTHER.
TYLER MCLAUGHLIN: BINGO, BABY.
NICK "DUFFY" FUDGE: BINGO!
TYLER MCLAUGHLIN:
PINWHEEL, BABY.
PUTTING TAIL WRAPS ON 'EM.
NICK "DUFFY" FUDGE:
WOW, WHAT A TRICKY FISH.
TYLER MCLAUGHLIN: I HAVEN'T HAD
ONE LIKE THAT IN A WHILE, WHOO!
NICK "DUFFY" FUDGE: YEAH!
TYLER MCLAUGHLIN: HE'S OURS.
NICK "DUFFY" FUDGE:
YEAH, BROTHER.
TYLER MCLAUGHLIN: YEAH!
NICK "DUFFY" FUDGE:
ANOTHER ONE, BABY.
TYLER MCLAUGHLIN: ANOTHER
ONE BITES THE DUST.
MARCHING OUR WAY RIGHT UP THE
TOP OF THE LEADERBOARD, DUDE.
NICK "DUFFY" FUDGE: DUDE, WE
ARE GONNA MARCH RIGHT TO THE
TOP OF THAT MOUNTAIN, BABY.
SMOOTH MOVES, BRAH.
NICE LITTLE 80 SOMETHING.
EIGHTY-SIX ON THE BUTTON.
TYLER MCLAUGHLIN: NICE!
THIS IS A DECENT-SIZED FISH.
AND IF WE GET A
GOOD PRICE FOR IT,
WE'RE GUARANTEED TO JUMP AHEAD
OF DOT COM IN THE EARNINGS.
NOW ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS HOPE
THAT THE STORM RUINS THEIR
CHANCES TO CATCH
THIS WEEK AND WE'RE
NUMBER ONE WITH A BULLET.
YEAH, BUDDY.
NICK "DUFFY" FUDGE: WHOO!
TYLER MCLAUGHLIN: YES!
ALL RIGHT, DUFF,
LET'S GET INSIDE.
[THUNDER AND LIGHTNING]
JOE MARCIANO: WHOA!
DAVE MARCIANO: OH YEAH,
THAT'S A NASTY SQUALL COMING.
JASON MUENZNER: HOW COME WE'RE
ALWAYS UNDER THE DARK CLOUD?
OOH, OH, DID YOU SEE THAT?
LIGHTNING RIGHT ON THE WATER.
HARD MERCH IS ABOUT
TO GET HIT BY A STORM.
WE DON'T LIKE FISHING
IN THE BAD WEATHER,
BUT AFTER WEEKS OF BAD LUCK,
WE'RE DESPERATE TO CATCH.
[THUNDER AND LIGHTNING]
SKETCH.
DAVE MARCIANO: JAY, LET THAT
LINK DOWN FOUR MORE POLES.
IT'S ABOUT TO GET REAL.
JOE MARCIANO: WHOA, WE'RE
JUST GONNA FISH IT OUT.
HOME IS THAT WAY, SO THAT'S
THE WAY OF THE STORM,
SO WE'RE JUST GONNA
SIT HERE AND HOPEFULLY,
WE DON'T GET STRUCK.
[THUNDER AND LIGHTNING]
DAVE MARCIANO: RIGHT NOW,
WE'RE ALL JUST HOPING
FOR THE SAME THING.
JASON MUENZNER: AT LEAST
WE DON'T HAVE A
40-FOOT LIGHTNING POLE.
DAVE MARCIANO: THAT WEATHERING
THIS STORM IS GONNA PAY OFF
AND THE BOAT STAYS IN ONE
PIECE ALONG WITH ALL OF US.
NOW YOU GUYS STAY OUT
HERE AND KEEP CHUMMING,
I'LL BE INSIDE
WATCHING THE MACHINE.
JOE MARCIANO: SOUNDS GOOD.
BRAD KRASOWSKI: WE
NEED TO GET A BITE.
THAT JIGGING ROD IS PERFECT.
MATT MATTSON: EVERYTHING'S
PERFECT EXCEPT FOR THERE'S NO
TUNA ON THE LINE.
BRAD KRASOWSKI: IT'S
JIGGING PERFECTLY.
THIS STORM IS ABOUT TO TURN
OUR WEEK AND MAYBE OUR
BOAT UPSIDE DOWN.
BUT STORM OR NO STORM,
WE NEED EVERY PENNY
WE CAN GET RIGHT NOW.
I NEED TO CATCH FISH TO
PUT FOOD ON THE TABLE
FOR MY FAMILY.
♪ MATT MATTSON: WE HAVE
NO TUNA ON THE LINE. ♪
♪ WE NEED A TUNA
ON THE LINE. ♪
THERE'S A STORM COMING IN,
DON'T CARE, BRING IT ON.
WITH ONLY THREE WEEKS LEFT,
THERE'S NO WAY THIS STORM'S
SENDING US BACK TO SHORE.
IT'S ONLY RAIN.
WE'RE NOT MADE OF SUGAR.
WE'RE NOT GONNA MELT.
BRAD KRASOWSKI:
JONESING FOR A TUNA.
IT'S LIKE A DRUG.
MATT MATTSON: TUNA ADDICT.
DAVE CARRARO: BOY,
IT'S NASTY OUT, HUH?
DEFINITELY A FRONT
COMING THROUGH.
SANDRO MANIACI:
WINDY OUT THERE.
GEORDIE SOUSA:
YEAH, I KNOW IT.
DAVE CARRARO: BAD WEATHER IS
ABOUT TO HIT AND IT'S GONNA
AFFECT FISHING THE
NEXT COUPLE DAYS,
BUT WE'RE RUNNING NECK AND
NECK WITH PINHEAD AND THEY'VE
ALREADY CAUGHT ONE TODAY.
THAT FISH CAN PUT THEM
AHEAD IN THE EARNINGS,
BUT WE'RE NOT GONNA
LET THAT HAPPEN.
WE'RE GONNA RIDE
OUT THE STORM,
DO WHAT WE GOT TO DO TO
PUT MORE MEAT ON THE DECK.
GEORDIE SOUSA: I'M
MAKING EGGS, BOYS.
SANDRO MANIACI:
BACON AND EGGS.
DAVE CARRARO:
PUTTING SKINS ON NOW.
[SNORING]
RICK SCHRAFFT: WE HAVE
ONE FISH ON THE DECK,
BUT WE NEED ALL THE PAYCHECKS
WE CAN GET RIGHT NOW.
OTHERWISE, IT'S GONNA
BE A LEAN WINTER FOR
PAUL'S AND MY FAMILY.
SOMETIMES RIGHT BEFORE THE
STORM HITS, THE FISH TURN ON.
AND IF YOU CAN
RIDE THE STORM OUT,
THERE'S A GOOD CHANCE
YOU CAN GET A BITE.
[BEEPING]
THAT'S A TUNA.
BRAD KRASOWSKI: THERE
HE IS, RIGHT UNDER US.
MATT MATTSON: OH, THAT'S
RIGHT ON OUR BAIT RIGHT THERE.
BRAD KRASOWSKI: COMING
UP AND COMING DOWN.
GOING UP AND COMING DOWN.
[BEEPING]
DAVE CARRARO: YOU
GUYS THINK IT'S THEM?
GEORDIE SOUSA:
I THINK IT'S THEM.
DAVE CARRARO: YEAH,
THAT'S DEFINITELY THEM.
GEORDIE SOUSA: OH YEAH.

[REEL UNSPOOLING RAPIDLY]
SANDRO MANIACI: WOW!
DAVE CARRARO: IT'S THERE,
HERE WE GO,
START IT UP, GEORDIE.
GEORDIE SOUSA: STOVE'S OFF.
SANDRO MANIACI: GOT 'EM ON!
DAVE CARRARO: WE'RE ON,
HE'S THERE, RIGHT?
GEORDIE SOUSA:
YEAH, HE'S GOT THEM.
BRAD KRASOWSKI:
HERE COMES THE STORM.
[CLICKING]
[REEL UNSPOOLING RAPIDLY]
HERE WE GO, WE GOT 'EM ON.
MATT MATTSON: THROW
THE ANCHOR, BRAD?
BRAD KRASOWSKI: YEAH,
LET'S GET AWAY FROM IT.
WE GOT SOME ACTION HERE.
ROUGH WEATHER, NOW WE JUST
GOT TO TRY TO EASE THEM IN.
HOPE HE DOESN'T
GO FOR THE ANCHOR.
MATT MATTSON: HE'S RUNNING.
BRAD KRASOWSKI: WE
FINALLY GOT A BITE.
NOW WE JUST GOTTA
HOPE WE GET HIM.
MATT MATTSON: WE'RE HOOKED UP,
WE'RE BACKING DOWN RIGHT NOW.
HE'S STILL TAKING DRAG.
THIS COULD BE MAYBE A
VERY GOOD-SIZED FISH,
LET'S SEE IF WE CAN'T
TIRE HIM OUT HERE.
[BEEPING]
[CLICKING]
[REEL UNSPOOLING RAPIDLY]
RICK SCHRAFFT:
ALL RIGHT, WE'RE ON.
COME ON, WE'RE ON!
WE'RE ON, WE'RE HOOKED UP.
PAUL HEBERT: TAKING LINE?
RICK SCHRAFFT: YEAH.
PAUL HEBERT: NICE.
RICK SCHRAFFT: YOU
KNOW STORMY WEATHER,
YOU GOT TO FIGHT THIS FISH IN
SOME EIGHT, NINE FOOT, SEAS,
YOU'RE UP AND DOWN, YOU'RE
TAKING WATER OVER THE BOAT,
OVER THE BACK, AND IT PUTS
TENSION ON THE MAIN LINE AND
WE COULD POP THE FISH OFF AND
YOUR CHANCES OF LOSING A FISH
ARE THAT MUCH GREATER.
PAUL HEBERT: IT'S ALL RIGHT.
TAKE YOUR TIME,
RICK, HE'S RUNNING.
LET HIM RUN.
SANDRO MANIACI:
I'M ALREADY SOAKED.
DAVE CARRARO: YOU THINK
IT COULD RAIN ANY HARDER?
GEORDIE SOUSA: ACTUALLY,
RIGHT AS YOU SAID THAT, DAVE,
IT JUST STARTED
RAINING HARDER.
IT DID, IT JUST STARTED
RAINING HARDER, YOU [BLEEP].
SANDRO MANIACI: WE'RE JUST AS
WET AS THIS FISH IS RIGHT NOW.
DAVE CARRARO: SIXTY FEET RIGHT
NOW FOR THE LAST FIVE MINUTES,
CAN'T BUDGE HIM.
SANDRO MANIACI: THE
WEATHER IS NOT HELPING.
BRAD KRASOWSKI: BAD CONDITIONS.
WE'VE BEEN WAITING
FOR THIS BITE.
WE FINALLY GOT ONE ON AND
IT'S INSTANTLY
FIVE TO SIX FOOT,
BLOWING THIRTY.
THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING.
TOMORROW'S STORM IS SUPPOSED
TO MAKE THIS LOOK LIKE AN
APRIL SHOWER.
MATT MATTSON: WHAT
ARE YOU GONNA DO?
AT LEAST WE GOT
ONE ON HERE, BOSS.
I'M GRATEFUL FOR THAT.
I'D BE EVEN MORE GRATEFUL IF
THE TUNA GODS PRAY DOWN ON US
AND GIVE US A CHANCE
TO GET THIS FISH.
BE NICE TO GET A PAYCHECK
TO HELP THE WINTER.
HE'S RUNNING, BABY, WHOO!
I THINK HE'S DEFINITELY
A BIG'UN AND PROBABLY THE
BIGGEST FISH WE'VE HAD
HOOKED UP THIS YEAR,
HE'S TAKING THE BIGGEST RUNS.
ALL WE CAN DO IS SIT HERE
AND LET HIM BURN OUT
ALL HIS ENERGY.
WHEN IN DOUBT, BURN
'EM OUT, YOU KNOW,
WE REALLY NEED
THIS FISH, HEY, HEY.
KEEP IT TIGHT.
WE JUST HAVE TO PLAY HIS
GAME FOR A LITTLE WHILE.
IT AIN'T GONNA BE TOO LONG
BEFORE I END THAT GAME AND
START PLAYING MY GAME.
HE'S DUMPING.
BRAD KRASOWSKI: PUT
IT UP A LITTLE BIT.
MATT MATTSON: WHAT,
OH NO, [BLEEP].
BRAD KRASOWSKI:
THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS.
MATT MATTSON: I
THINK WE LOST HIM.
PULLED THE HOOK,
UNBELIEVABLE, UNBELIEVABLE.
BRAD KRASOWSKI: WE HOOK UP.
IT'S LIKE A
TORRENTIAL MONSOON.
MATT MATTSON: IT'S VERY
DISAPPOINTING RIGHT NOW,
ESPECIALLY THIS
LATE IN THE SEASON.
THAT'S TERRIBLE, MAN.
BRAD KRASOWSKI: WHAT
ARE YOU GONNA DO?
MATT MATTSON: YOU
CAN'T GET DISCOURAGED.
WE'RE JUST GONNA PUT THE LINES
BACK OUT, GO AT IT AGAIN,
AND TRY TO GET
ANOTHER HOOK UP.
OH, MY GOD.
WE FINALLY GOT A NICE FISH
ON AND WE PART HIM OFF AND
PULL THE HOOK.
BRAD KRASOWSKI: WE'RE
GETTING SOME TOUGH BREAKS,
BUT THERE'S NOTHING
YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT.
WHEN IT RAINS, IT POURS.
SANDRO MANIACI:
I HATE DOING THIS.
GEORDIE SOUSA: I KNOW IT'S
GETTING [BLEEP] BY THE MINUTE.
SANDRO MANIACI: WAVES
ARE GETTING BIGGER NOW.
[BLEEP] YOU, MOTHER NATURE.
THIS IS WHEN THIS
TURNS INTO WORK.
DAVE CARRARO: NOW REMEMBER,
WE GOT TO BE CAREFUL
WITH THE ROLLS HERE.
HERE WE GO, I GOT COLOR.
GEORDIE, YOU'RE GONNA TAKE
THE CONTROLS AND DRIVE.
GEORDIE SOUSA: YEAH, YEAH.
DAVE CARRARO: ALL RIGHT,
YOU HAVE THE BOAT, GEORDIE.
GEORDIE SOUSA: YEAH.
DAVE CARRARO: HE'S GOT IT.
SANDRO MANIACI: HE'S CHARGING.
JUMP FORWARD, JUMP FORWARD,
HARD, HARD, HARD, HARD, HARD,
HARD, HARD, HARD, HARD.
DAVE CARRARO: HE'S
GOING UNDER THE BOAT.
SANDRO MANIACI: REVERSE,
REVERSE, REVERSE.
HARD, REVERSE, HARD.
DAVE CARRARO: GO
FASTER, HARD LEFT.
NICE JOB, KEEP GOING LEFT.
ALL RIGHT, STOP,
NEUTRAL, NEUTRAL!
SANDRO MANIACI: IT'S
GOING UNDER THE BOAT!
DAVE CARRARO: NEUTRAL,
WE'RE GONNA LOSE OUR FISH.
YOU'RE ON TOP OF IT.
GO, GO, GO, GO.
HE'S GONNA CUT THAT LINE.
SANDRO MANIACI:
HE'S GOING RIGHT.
FORWARD RIGHT.
DAVE CARRARO: KEEP GOING.
GEORDIE SOUSA: I TOLD
YOU I HATE DOING THAT.
DAVE CARRARO: HE'S
GONE, HE BROKE OFF.
GEORDIE SOUSA: WHAT A CLUSTER.
DAVE CARRARO: THE
ONE THAT GOT AWAY.
LOSING THIS FISH
IS A REAL BLOW.
IF TYLER'S FISH IS
WORTH BIG MONEY,
HE'S GONNA KNOCK
US OUT OF THE TOP.
WHATEVER'S COMING TOMORROW,
WE'LL BE OUT IN IT BECAUSE I
CANNOT LET HIM GET AHEAD.
GEORDIE SOUSA:
BROKE HIM OFF, SUCKS.
ON THE OTHER HAND,
I'M GLAD THAT'S OVER.
PAUL HEBERT: WE WANNA
GET AWAY FROM OUR ANCHOR.
RICK SCHRAFFT: THANK YOU,
ANOTHER NICE FISH RIGHT HERE.
PEELED OUT A LOT OF LINE, WE
GOT A BEAUTY ON THE LINE HERE.
HE'S ANGRY.
PAUL HEBERT: HOW
YOU DOING, RICK?
ALL RIGHT?
RICK SCHRAFFT: I'M GAINING ON
HIM, STRAIGHT OFF THE STERN,
PAULIE, ON THE STARBOARD.
PAUL HEBERT: BE CAREFUL,
IT'S SLIPPERY OUT HERE.
RICK SCHRAFFT: YEAH.
PAUL HEBERT: HE'S
IN A PINWHEEL.
KEEP HIM COMING
ALL RIGHT, OKAY.
KEEP HIM COMING, KEEP
COMING, KEEP COMING.
YEAH, HE'S A BIG ONE.
YOU GOT TO KEEP THAT
LINE AWAY FROM THE BOAT.
YOU'RE DOING
REALLY GOOD, RICK.
RICK SCHRAFFT: BUT I
HOPE HE'S GETTING TIRED.
PAUL HEBERT: YEAH, HE IS.
NICE AND EASY, ALL RIGHT.
HE'S RIGHT THERE, OKAY.
RICK SCHRAFFT: YEAH.
PAUL HEBERT: I'M GONNA
COME BACK WITH YOU.
RICK SCHRAFFT: OKAY.
PAUL HEBERT: TURN
THE ROD, REEL.
RICK SCHRAFFT:
HERE HE COMES, PAUL.
PAUL HEBERT: TURN THE
ROD, HE'S COMING AROUND.
WE GOTTA KEEP THAT LINE
AWAY FROM THE BOAT.
YEAH!
RICK SCHRAFFT:
HERE HE COMES, PAUL.
PAUL HEBERT: TURN THE
ROD, HE'S COMING AROUND.
WE GOTTA KEEP THAT LINE
AWAY FROM THE BOAT.
GOT HIM.
GAFF, GAFF HIM.
THERE YOU GO!
YEAH, NICE FISH!
THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS
WHEN YOU TOUGH IT OUT.
WE GOT TWO FISH ALREADY AND
THAT'S GONNA GO A LONG WAY AND
KEEP THE HEAT ON IN
THE HOUSE THIS WINTER.
KEEP GOING, RIGHT THERE.
84 INCHES.
LOOK AT HOW FAT HE IS.
RICK SCHRAFFT: YEAH,
HE'S A FAT 84-INCHER,
THERE'S NO DOUBT.
PAUL HEBERT: UNBELIEVABLE,
TWO BIG BASTARDS!
[SNORING]
MIKE OTT: THIS IS
KILLING ME, MAN.
WE JUST NEED TO BE OUT THERE.
YOU CAN'T BE
CATCHING AT THE DOCK.
JARRETT PRZYBYSZEWSKI: RIGHT.
MIKE OTT: WE'RE AT THE DOCK
AND WE'RE HEARING PINWHEEL AND
WICKED PISSAH GOT FISH.
I AM PISSED OFF RIGHT NOW.
AND ALL THESE GUYS CATCHING
FISH THAT, YOU KNOW.
JARRETT PRZYBYSZEWSKI:
YOU'VE GOT TO HAND IT TO 'EM.
THEY DESERVE IT,
THEY'RE OUT THERE EVERY DAY.
MIKE OTT: YEAH, I AGREE.
RIGHT NOW, THE STORM IS
JUST NOT A GOOD EXCUSE TO
HAVE THE BOAT AT THE DOCK.
PEOPLE ARE OUT THERE FISHING.
WE SHOULD BE TOO.
DAD WOULD BE HAVING A
MENTAL BREAKDOWN RIGHT NOW.
MY DAD IS THE CO-OWNER OF
THE HOT TUNA AND HE'S SERIOUS
ABOUT THIS BOAT BEING
A PROFITABLE BUSINESS.
RIGHT NOW, THE HOT TUNA
IS NOT ONE OF THE
FLEET'S BIG MONEYMAKERS.
AND SITTING AT THE DOCK IS
NOT GONNA HELP CHANGE THAT.
I'M CALLING DAD.
DAD IS THE ONLY GUY
TJ WILL LISTEN TO.
IF THIS CALL DOESN'T GET US BACK
ON THE WATER, NOTHING WILL.
HEY, DAD.
TYLER MCLAUGHLIN:
WHAT'S UP, GUT?
GUT: HEY, WHAT'S
GOING ON, TYLER?
TYLER MCLAUGHLIN: WE
GOT A NICE ONE FOR YOU.
IT'S CRUNCH TIME THOUGH SO
WE GOT TO GET IT OFF AND
GET BACK OUT THERE.
GUT: ALL RIGHT, SOUNDS GOOD.
TYLER MCLAUGHLIN: WE
BRAVED THE WIND, RAIN,
AND LIGHTNING TO
BRING IN THIS FISH.
SO HOPEFULLY THIS IS THE ONE
THAT PUTS US WELL AHEAD
OF THE DOT COM.
HOW MUCH THIS BEAUTY WEIGH?
GUT: 309.
TYLER MCLAUGHLIN: NICE.
HEY, WE'RE COMING
UP TO CHECK HIM OUT.
THE BUYER WANTS A GOOD
RED COLOR, GREASY FAT,
AND A NICE CORE.
GUT: LOOK AT THAT CORE,
THAT'S A DIAMOND.
TYLER MCLAUGHLIN: HEY, YOU'RE
DOING, WE'VE BEEN TRYING, GUT.
WE'RE JUST TRYING TO CATCH UP.
GUT: I'LL TELL YOU WHAT?
YEAH, THIS IS A REAL NICE FISH.
HMM, $22.
NICK "DUFFY" FUDGE: ALL
RIGHT, ALL RIGHT, BROTHER.
TYLER MCLAUGHLIN:
OH, YES, THANK GOD.
NO DOUBT ABOUT IT, THIS IS
THE FISH THAT PUTS US ONE STEP
AHEAD OF THE DOT COM AND WE
CAN OUT-FISH THOSE GUYS
IN ANY WEATHER.
PINWHEEL, NUMBER ONE, BABY.
THANK YOU GUT,
APPRECIATE IT, BROTHER.
GUT: YEAH, THANK YOU GUYS.
TYLER MCLAUGHLIN:
BACK TO THE MEAT.
GUT: ALL RIGHT, GOOD ENOUGH.
[INAUDIBLE]
NARRATOR: PINWHEEL'S
HIGH-QUALITY FISH PUSHES THEM
PAUL HEBERT: I THINK WE
GOT SOME WINNERS, RICK.
RICK SCHRAFFT: I THINK YOU
MIGHT BE RIGHT, PAULIE.
PAUL HEBERT: HEY, WE GOT A
COUPLE NICE ONES FOR YOU, PJ.
PJ: LOOK AT THAT,
PRETTY NICE, PAULIE.
PAUL HEBERT: IT'S AWESOME.
PJ: NICE, WAY TO GO GUYS.
RICK, I'M PROUD OF YOU.
RICK SCHRAFFT: I WAS ALL SET
FOR THIS TO BE A HELLISH TRIP,
WITH THE STORM AND EVERYTHING.
PJ: YOU GUYS ARE CRAWLING
UP TO THE A-LIST.
PAUL HEBERT: PRETTY
LITTLE BUM-BUM.
RICK SCHRAFFT: BUT
WITH TWO FISH ON ICE,
IT TURNED OUT TO BE ONE OF
THE BEST TRIPS OF THE YEAR.
PAUL HEBERT: I CAME OUT, RICK
HAD EVERYTHING UNDER CONTROL.
WHAT YOU GOT FOR
A WEIGHT THERE?
PJ: 356 POUNDS ON THIS ONE.
RICK SCHRAFFT: NICE.
PAUL HEBERT: NICE, BEAUTIFUL.
PJ: NICE FISH, GUYS,
NICE PINKISH CORE.
NICE TAIL COLOR, A
LITTLE BIT WATERY.
THIS ONE HERE, $13 A POUND.
RICK SCHRAFFT: NICE.
PAUL HEBERT: THAT AIN'T BAD.
AFTER WHAT WE WENT
THROUGH TO GET IT,
I WAS EXPECTING
A BETTER PAYOFF.
HOPEFULLY WE'LL DO
BETTER ON THIS NEXT ONE.
PJ: HOLY COW.
PAUL HEBERT: LOOK AT
THE SHAPES ON HIM.
PJ: 313 POUNDS,
BEAUTIFUL SIZE.
PAUL HEBERT:
THAT'S PERFECT SIZE.
LET'S CHECK THIS ONE OUT HERE.
RICK SCHRAFFT: YEAH.
PAUL HEBERT: WHAT DO YOU
THINK OF THAT ONE, PJ?
I NEED GOOD MONEY
FOR ONE OF THESE.
PJ: THAT'S A,
THAT'S A NICE FISH,
PINKISH TAIL ALL THE
WAY THROUGH THE MAJORS.
GOOD SIZE, THIS ONE
HERE, $26 A POUND.
PAUL HEBERT: YEAH, I TOLD
YOU IT WAS A NICE FISH.
RICK SCHRAFFT: YEAH, ALL
RIGHT, PJ, THANK YOU.
PAUL HEBERT: THIS IS
WHEN IT'S ALL WORTH IT.
WE GOT TWO FISH IN
SOME NASTY WEATHER.
THAT KIND OF MONEY
GOES A LONG WAY,
EASING MY WORRIES
ABOUT THE WINTER AHEAD.
PJ: KEEP 'EM COMING.
RICK SCHRAFFT: WE'RE GONNA
BRING YOU SOME MORE, PJ.
PJ: KEEP 'EM COMING, RICK.
YOU'RE DOING GOOD.
PAUL HEBERT: WE'RE GONNA
LIGHT THIS PLACE UP!
[CELL PHONE RINGING]
TJ OTT: HELLO?
TIM OTT: TJ?
TJ OTT: YEAH.
TIM OTT: HOW ARE YOU GONNA
CATCH 'EM AT THE DOCK?
TJ OTT: HOW DO YOU KNOW THIS?
TIM OTT: FROM MICHAEL,
YOU GOT TO BE OUT THERE.
TJ OTT: YOU SEE THIS
GIANT PURPLE STORM COMING?
TIM OTT: TJ, LISTEN TO ME.
IF WE CAN'T START
MAKING PAYCHECKS,
GET PAST ALL THESE OBSTACLES,
I'M GONNA PULL THE PLUG.
MIKE OTT: BOTTOM LINE IS, WHEN
THE OLD MAN SAYS WE GOT TO GO
FISHING, WE GO FISHING.
THERE'S NO IF, ANDS, OR BUTS.
TJ OTT: IT'S JUST COMING NOW.
AND I CAN SEE A LOT OF
LIGHTNING OFF IN THE DISTANCE.
TIM OTT: IF YOU FEEL IT'S NOT
WORTH IT THEN YOU'RE REALLY
NOT CUT OUT TO BE A
BLUEFIN TUNA FISHERMAN.
TJ OTT: OKAY, I'M GONNA DO IT.
BUT, I REALLY DON'T
WANT TO DESTROY MY BOAT.
TIM OTT: YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO BE
ONE STEP AHEAD OF THE REAPER.
TJ OTT: I'M FRUSTRATED.
I REALLY CAN'T BELIEVE
BUBBY DID THIS.
AS CAPTAIN, I MADE THE CALL
TO STAY OFF THE WATER AND
I STAND BEHIND IT.
ANYTIME LIGHTING COMES
THROUGH WITH SEVERE WEATHER,
YOU SHOULDN'T BE OUT THERE.
THANKS A LOT, MICHAEL.
MIKE OTT: SOMEONE
HAD TO DO IT, MAN.
TJ OTT: OH, THIS
IS GONNA BE BAD.
[EMERGENCY BROADCAST ALARM]
RADIO: NOW FOR THE OFFICIAL
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE
FORECAST FOR EASTERN
MASSACHUSETTS.
DOPPLER RADAR INDICATED A
LINE OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS.
STRONG AND POSSIBLY
DAMAGING WINDS ARE
EXPECTED ALONG WITH ROUGH SEAS.
HEAD TO SAFE HARBOR
IMMEDIATELY OR STAY CLOSE TO
SHORE UNTIL THE STORM PASSES.
GEORDIE SOUSA: WE NEED A BITE
PRETTY SOON HERE BEFORE WE
HAVE THIS CRAZY STORM
RIGHT ON TOP OF US.
PAUL HEBERT: HEY,
ARE YOU THERE?
COME IN.
GEORDIE SOUSA: GO AHEAD.
PAUL HEBERT: ARE YOU GUYS
MARKING ANY FISH AT ALL?
GEORDIE SOUSA: NEGATIVE.
[LAUGHTER]
PAUL HEBERT: WE'RE MARKING 'EM
THE WHOLE TIME ALL OUT HERE.
GEORDIE SOUSA: SO FAR, IT
REMAINS TO BE SEEN WHETHER OR
NOT STAYING OUT HERE IN
THE ROUGH WEATHER WAS
EVEN WORTH IT.
TYLER AND PAUL HAVE
BOTH ALREADY GOT FISH.
WE'VE GOT NOTHING.
TYLER DEFINITELY GRABBED THE
TOP SPOT FROM US THIS WEEK AND
THE FALLOUT FROM THAT
HAPPENING IS PROBABLY GONNA BE
WORSE THAN ANY STORM WE
COULD STAY OUT HERE IN.
PAUL HEBERT: THERE'S TWO
ON THE SCREEN RIGHT NOW,
180 AND 150.
DAVE CARRARO: I CAN'T THINK OF
ANYTHING WORSE THAN GOING HOME
EMPTY-HANDED AFTER SPENDING
DAYS IN THIS WEATHER,
ESPECIALLY WITH
TYLER GETTING LUCKY.
GEORDIE SOUSA: THANKS
FOR THE HEADS UP.
DAVE CARRARO: LET'S GO
JUST DOWNWIND OF HIM.
PAUL'S MARKING, WE'RE NOT.
IT'S TIME FOR US TO MAKE A
MOVE AND GO SET UP BY HIM.
PULL THE LINES, LET'S MOVE.
WE'RE ON, WE'RE ON,
WE'RE ON, WHOO-HOO!
WE'RE ON, PULL IT.
GEORDIE SOUSA: WE'RE JUST
PULLING THEM IN TO MOVE
AND WE'RE TIGHT.
PAUL HEBERT: GOOD
JOB, GET 'EM, GET 'EM.
TYLER MCLAUGHLIN: CAN'T
CONTROL HOW MANY DOT COM
CATCHES BUT WE CAN DO THE BEST
TO TRY AND MAKE SURE WE CATCH
AS MANY AS POSSIBLE.
ALL WE CAN DO IS DO WHAT WE DO
BEST AND THAT'S PUT HOOKS IN
THE WATER AND
KEEP ON GRINDING.
DAVE CARRARO: ARE WE
FREE FROM THE ANCHOR?
GEORDIE SOUSA: YES, YOU ARE.
DAVE CARRARO: HE WENT
RIGHT OUT OF MY HAND.
THIS REEL WAS JUST
GETTING TO MAKE A, LIKE,
GET READY TO MAKE A LITTLE
MOVE AND IT RIPPED IT RIGHT
OUT OF MY HAND AS I
WAS REELING IT IN.
SOMETHING'S WRONG WITH
THIS, FEELS AWFULLY TIGHT.
I DON'T MIND BEING OUT
IN THE RAIN RIGHT NOW.
THIS IS A GOOD PROBLEM.
I DON'T MIND BEING
WET RIGHT NOW.
SANDRO MANIACI: YEAH, IT'S NOT
VERY COMFORTABLE, YOU KNOW,
FISHING IN THIS STUFF BUT,
FISH SEEM TO BITE WHEN IT'S
LIKE THIS SO.
DAVE CARRARO: OH,
YEAH, IT'S GOING ON.
A LITTLE HERCULES FISH HERE.
SANDRO MANIACI: I GOT
COLOR RIGHT THERE.
DAVE CARRARO: COLOR.
SANDRO MANIACI:
HE'S RIGHT THERE.
DAVE CARRARO: OH, YEAH.
HE CAME OUT THERE.
GET READY FOR A SHOT.
HE'S BEEN CLOSE, HE'S
BEEN CLOSE FOR A WHILE.
GEORDIE SOUSA: TOO MUCH
TAKE AND NOT A LOT OF
GIVE GOING ON HERE.
DAVE CARRARO: OH, MY GOD,
THIS THING IS HORRIBLE.
THERE HE IS, COLOR.
SANDRO MANIACI:
HOW ABOUT THEM APPLES?
GEORDIE SOUSA:
NICE WORK, DAVE.
DAVE CARRARO: GOT HIM.
SANDRO MANIACI: LOOK
HOW FAT HIS TAIL IS.
GEORDIE SOUSA: THAT'S
A PORKER, DUDE.
DAVE CARRARO: GOT ONE,
PEEL AND EAT SHRIMP, BABY!
SANDRO MANIACI: FINALLY!
GEORDIE SOUSA: WOW,
NICE WORK, GUYS.
DAVE CARRARO: THAT WAS
A BRUTAL FREAKING FISH.
GEORDIE SOUSA: YEAH, IT WAS.
NICE WORK, GUYS.
SANDRO MANIACI: WHOO, GOT HIM.
THAT FISH PUT UP A
SERIOUS STRUGGLE.
HE'S OURS.
DAVE CARRARO: WHO
NEEDS A WENCH?
I HOPE TYLER ENJOYED HIS
LEAD WHILE IT LASTED.
ALL RIGHT.
GEORDIE SOUSA: HE'S ROUND.
88 AND A HALF, I LOVE IT.
DAVE CARRARO:
88 AND A HALF.
GEORDIE SOUSA: NICE.
SANDRO MANIACI: YOU
KNOW THAT OLD SAYING,
WHEN IT RAINS, IT POURS?
IT'S TWICE AS TRUE WHEN
IT COMES TO TUNA FISHING.
GEORDIE SOUSA: NICE
WORK, GANG, NICE FISH.
DAVE CARRARO:
TAKE THAT, TYLER.
MATT MATTSON: IT'S RAINING.
WE'RE DEFINITELY
GONNA HOOK ONE NOW.
BRAD KRASOWSKI: YESTERDAY,
THE WHOLE FLEET GOT HIT PRETTY
HARD WITH WIND,
RAIN, AND LIGHTNING.
AND FROM WHAT WE'RE HEARING,
TODAY'S STORM IS SUPPOSED TO
PUT THAT SQUALL TO SHAME.
HARD RAIN, REALLY
GOOD TUNA WEATHER.
THE FISH DON'T CARE BECAUSE
THEY'RE ALREADY WET.
NICK "DUFFY" FUDGE:
OH, MY GOD, DUDE.
THERE'S SO MUCH
WATER IN THIS WINDOW.
TYLER MCLAUGHLIN: OH,
JUST SOLID WHITE WATER.
SEE, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN,
WE'RE IN A MONSOON.
IT'S BLOWING 40, WE'RE
TAKING WAVES OVER THE BOW.
WE GOT BIG THUNDER BOOMERS
STRETCHING ALL THE WAY FROM
THE GULF OF MAINE
TO LAKE ONTARIO.
JOE MARCIANO: YEAH,
THIS WIND'S PICKING UP.
JASON MUENZNER: HERE COMES THE
WIND AND, I JUST GOT COLD TOO.
WE'RE IN IT, WE'RE
LEGIT IN IT RIGHT NOW.
HERE WE GO, LOOK
AT THAT FLAGPOLE.
LOOK AT THE FLAGPOLE.
DAVE, THE FLAGPOLE
IS LIKE THIS.
DAVE MARCIANO: THE WEATHER
REPORT IS CALLING FOR WINDS
MORE THAN 50 KNOTS.
THE SWELLS CAN GET
AS HIGH AS 10 FEET.
NOW WE'VE BEEN THROUGH STORMS
LIKE THIS BEFORE BUT WEATHER
LIKE THIS CAN SPIN THIS
BOAT LIKE A TOP AND
THAT CAN GET PRETTY HAIRY.
JASON MUENZNER: THE BOAT'S
PROBABLY GONNA SWING ON TOP
OF THE ANCHOR.
WE DON'T WANT OUR ANCHOR LINE
OR OUR FISHING LINE GETTING
CAUGHT IN THE PROP.
WHEN THE WIND IS THIS HIGH,
THE BOAT'S DOING CIRCLES.
INSTEAD OF ALL THE LINES
AND BAITS JUST SITTING NICE,
THEY GET SWIRLED AROUND IN
THAT TURNING WATER AND THEY
COULD EASILY GET TANGLED
UNDERNEATH THE BOAT.
DAVE, KEEP AND AN
EYE ON THIS ANCHOR.
DAVE MARCIANO: YEAH.
JASON MUENZNER: WE'RE
GONNA SWING RIGHT ON IT.
HEADS UP FOR THE ANCHOR.
DAVE MARCIANO: [BLEEP].
THE WIND JUST CAME
AROUND 180 DEGREES.
IT'S ABOUT TO GET TOO ROUGH TO
EVEN THINK ABOUT FISHING AND
THAT IS JUST ONE MORE SETBACK
WE DON'T NEED RIGHT NOW.
[REEL UNSPOOLING RAPIDLY]
JASON MUENZNER:
WE'RE ON, LET'S GO!
[REEL UNSPOOLING RAPIDLY]
JASON MUENZNER:
WE'RE ON, LET'S GO!
DAVE MARCIANO:
IT'S IN THE WHEEL.
JASON MUENZNER: HUH?
DAVE MARCIANO:
IT'S IN THE WHEEL.
WE GOT GET THESE
OTHER RIGS IN.
THE MERCH IS ONE OF THE
SMALLEST BOATS IN THE FLEET
AND WE'VE PUT THAT OLD
GIRL THROUGH A LOT.
I REALLY HOPE SHE CAN
HOLD TOGETHER THROUGH
ALL THIS CRAZINESS.
[THUNDER AND LIGHTNING]
DAMMIT!
AH DAMMIT!
JOE MARCIANO: SHOULD I
REEL THIS ONE IN TOO?
JASON MUENZNER: OH
[BLEEP] NICE JOB, BRO.
DAVE MARCIANO:
THAT'S GOOD, JOE.
JOE MARCIANO: ALL RIGHT.
JASON MUENZNER:
THIS BAIT'S GONE.
DAVE MARCIANO: JUST GET
THAT IN JAY, COME ON IN.
JASON MUENZNER:
THIS BAIT'S GONE.
DAVE MARCIANO: YEAH, I KNOW.
JUST GET IN HERE UNTIL
WE STRAIGHTEN OUT.
JASON MUENZNER: GO,
GO, GO, GO, [BLEEP]!
DAVE MARCIANO:
WE'RE IN PRIMETIME.
WE'RE GETTING
[BLEEP] OUT OF IT.
JASON MUENZNER: THERE'S
A STORM ALL AROUND US.
WE CAN'T EVEN FISH RIGHT
NOW BECAUSE EVERYTHING'S
UP INTO THE ANCHOR.
DAVE MARCIANO: DAMMIT,
THIS ANCHOR AGAIN, AH!
JASON MUENZNER:
PROBABLY 50 KNOTS.
DAVE MARCIANO: YEAH,
WELCOME TO NEW ENGLAND.
WE WENT FROM FLAT CALM TO 50
KNOTS IN LESS THAN 10 MINUTES.
JASON MUENZNER: IT GOES FROM
SUNNY TO CLOUDY TO WINDY TO
FREAKING HORIZONTAL
RAIN, THUNDER.
JOE MARCIANO: LIGHTNING.
JASON MUENZNER: LIGHTNING.
DAVE MARCIANO: I'M SOAKED,
THIS FISHING SUCKS.
JASON MUENZNER: HOLY [BLEEP].
JOE MARCIANO: SKETCH.
JASON MUENZNER: BIG WAVES NOW.
YEAH, IT'S A BIG WAVE.
CAN'T EVEN FISH IN THIS.
THE ANCHOR'S TIGHT.
JOE MARCIANO: WHAT?
JASON MUENZNER: THE
ANCHOR'S STILL HOLDING.
WE'RE ALL TIGHT, WHOA.
PROBABLY BE LIKE
THIS FOR A WHILE.
TJ OTT: WE'RE HERE, GET
READY TO DROP ANCHOR.
JARRETT PRZYBYSZEWSKI:
IT'S LIKE MIDDAY RIGHT NOW.
WE FINALLY MADE IT OUT HERE
AND THINGS ARE A LITTLE
INTENSE ON THE BOAT RIGHT NOW.
TJ AND BUBBY ARE HAVING
THEIR DIFFERENCES.
SO I'M JUST GONNA
STAY OUT OF IT.
NEVER GET BETWEEN TWO BROTHERS
FIGHTING BECAUSE NO MATTER
WHO WINS, I LOSE.
PUT SOME NEW BAITS IN AND
SIT AROUND FOR A WHILE.
HURRY UP AND WAIT.
TJ OTT: LET'S GET THE LINES
OUT AND SEE IF THIS TRIP'S
EVEN WORTH IT.
TYLER MCLAUGHLIN: YO, LOOK WHO
FINALLY STARTED TO SHOW UP,
THE HOT TUNA.
MAKING WAY TO THE FISHING
GROUNDS TODAY WE HAVE THE
FISHING VESSEL ALSO
KNOWN AS THE DOCK LOUNGE.
[LAUGHTER]
BRAD KRASOWSKI:
WHAT'D YOU SAY?
TYLER MCLAUGHLIN: WELCOME TO
THE HOT TUNA, HOT TUNA, WHOO!
HE'S LOOKING FORWARD TO
CASHING IN ON SOME OF THE
ELUSIVE BLUEFIN TUNA THAT HAVE
BEEN SWIMMING ALONG THE BANK.
I DON'T THINK THEY'RE
DEPENDING ON THE CHECK
AS MUCH AS WE ARE.
TJ OTT: MIKE GRAB THAT
ROD, BRING IT HERE, PLEASE.
MIKE OTT: HOLD YOUR HORSES.
TJ OTT: THIS ONE, BUBBY.
MIKE OTT: HOLD ON, ONE SECOND
I GOT THIS THING RIGHT HERE.
GIVE ME A SECOND.
TJ OTT: WELL, I GOT
A BAIT IN MY HAND.
MIKE OTT: THAT'S YOUR
PROBLEM, NOT MINE.
TJ OTT: SHUT UP.
MIKE OTT: I JUST DON'T WANT
THIS GOING UNDER THE BOAT.
TJ OTT: MICHAEL SHOULDN'T BE
UPSET WITH ME ABOUT ANYTHING.
I MEAN, REALLY, IF ANYONE SHOULD
BE UPSET IT SHOULD BE ME.
I STAND BEHIND MY DECISION
NOT TO TAKE THE BOAT OUT
IN THE STORM 100%.
JUST DO YOUR JOB, BUBBY.
MIKE OTT: TJ THINKS EVERYTHING
IS HUNKY DORY RIGHT NOW
BECAUSE WE'RE FINALLY
OUT IN THE WATER.
BUT IF HE WANTS ME TO RELAX
AND LET IT GO AFTER MISSING
OUT ON HALF THE WEEK, HE
SHOULD WAIT UNTIL WE GET SOME
FISH ON DECK.
JARRETT PRZYBYSZEWSKI:
KEEP ON, KEEPING ON.
MIKE OTT: WE MAY HAVE MISSED
THE WORST OF THE STORM BUT WE
ALSO MISSED THE
BEST OF FISHING.
JASON MUENZNER: WE GOT THICKER
FOG, BUT THERE'S FISH HERE.
WE'LL FISH FOR 'EM HARD.
DAVE MARCIANO: SWEET.
JASON MUENZNER: AND HOPEFULLY
WE GET A FEW FISH OUT OF IT
BECAUSE IF WE DON'T
HAVE ANY FISH,
IT'S GONNA BE A LONG RIDE
HOME EMPTY AND HEARTBROKEN.
DAVE MARCIANO: ALMOST EVERY
BOAT THAT WEATHERED THE STORM
OUT HERE CAUGHT A
FISH, BUT NOT US.
MAKE 'EM GOOD.
NO BREAKFAST UNTIL THERE'S
A KEEPER ON THE BOAT.
NO LUNCH UNTIL
THERE'S TWO KEEPERS.
WHAT WE REALLY HOPE RIGHT NOW
IS THAT THE FISH ARE AS HUNGRY
AS WE ARE AND WE CAN
MAKE UP FOR LOST TIME.
[BEEPING]
GOT SOMETHING COMING
UP, STREAKING UP.
STREAKING UP, STREAKING UP,
WATCH THE ROD.
JASON MUENZNER: OH,
WE'RE GETTING A BITE,
WE'RE GETTING A
BITE, WE'RE ON!
JOE MARCIANO:
WE'RE ON, WE'RE ON!
DAVE MARCIANO: WE'RE ON,
REEL, REEL, REEL, REEL!
JASON MUENZNER:
LEAVE THAT OUT THERE.
LEAVE IT OUT THERE,
LEAVE IT OUT THERE.
DAVE MARCIANO: YEAH, LEAVE
IT OUT AND GO FOR THE DOUBLE.
WHAT'S HE FEEL LIKE, JAY?
JASON MUENZNER:
IT'S A BIG FISH.
JOE MARCIANO: STAY ON HIM.
DAVE MARCIANO: THERE YOU GO.
THERE'S A DOUBLE,
JOE, YOU'RE ON.
JASON MUENZNER: HEY,
WE GOT A DOUBLE.
DAVE MARCIANO: IT'S A FISH.
JASON MUENZNER: WE GOT A
DOUBLE, DOUBLE, DOUBLE.
DAVE MARCIANO: THIS IS OUR
CHANCE FOR A BIG PAYDAY, BOYS.
WE NEED IT, ALL HANDS ON DECK.
JASON MUENZNER: DOUBLE, BABY.
DAVE MARCIANO: WE'RE GONNA
GET THAT ONE IN SLOWLY, JOE.
DON'T JUST THROW IT OUT THERE.
WE CAN HANDLE DOUBLES.
I GOT FAITH IN YOU GUYS.
I'LL DO THE YELLING, YOU GUYS
DO THE REELING, ALL RIGHT?
JASON MUENZNER: ALL
RIGHT, WICKED SCREAMER.
DAVE MARCIANO: REEL,
REEL, REEL, REEL.
JASON MUENZNER: HERE
WE GO, HERE WE GO.
DAVE MARCIANO:
GOT YOU ON, JOE?
JOE MARCIANO: NO,
HE'S GONE, [BLEEP].
DAVE MARCIANO: SEND
YOUR ROD OVER HERE.
STILL GOT ONE, GOT TO
MAKE THIS ONE COUNT.
ALL RIGHT, COME ON, JAY.
DON'T LET GO OF IT NOW,
YOU'LL GET YELLED AT.
REEL, REEL, REEL, REEL.
JASON MUENZNER: HE'S
NOT COMING AT US.
DAVE MARCIANO: WHAT?
JASON MUENZNER: I DON'T
KNOW IF HE'S THERE.
DAVE MARCIANO: GONE?
[BLEEP].
JASON MUENZNER: IT'S
GONE, PULLED THE HOOK.
DAVE MARCIANO:
DAMMIT, SUCKER.
AH, PULLED THE HOOK.
THIS DON'T SUCK, IT BLOWS.
WHAT DO WE GOT TO
DO TO CATCH A FISH?
THAT WAS A GOOD ONE TOO.
DAMMIT.
SCOTT: SO WHAT DO YOU
GUYS GOT FOR ME TODAY?
DAVE CARRARO: SCOTT, WE
GOT ONE NICE ON FOR YOU,
BUT WE WANT TO GET
IN ON ICE RIGHT AWAY.
IT MIGHT BE A CLICHÉ TO SAY
WE EARNED THIS FISH BUT
WE EARNED THIS FISH.
WE WEATHERED A HELL OF A
STORM THAT COST US ONE
BUT WE FINALLY CAUGHT.
WHAT DO YOU GOT, SCOTT?
SCOTT: WE HAVE 429 POUNDS.
DAVE CARRARO: THAT'S A
NICE FISH RIGHT THERE,
COMING ON UP.
SCOTT: ALL RIGHT, BOYS.
DAVE CARRARO: IF
I'M NOT MISTAKEN,
THAT LOOKS ALL RIGHT.
SCOTT: WELL, I MEAN IT HAD A
GOOD SHAPE ON IT, GOOD CORE.
DAVE CARRARO: I MEAN THAT'S
A, THAT'S PRETTY DECENT.
SANDRO MANIACI: I AGREE.
SCOTT: YEAH, WE COULD
GET YOU GUYS $17 A POUND.
GEORDIE SOUSA: SEVENTEEN
BUCKS, AWESOME, I LOVE THAT.
DAVE CARRARO: GOOD JOB, BOYS.
SANDRO MANIACI: OH,
YOUR HANDS ARE GREASY.
DAVE CARRARO: YEAH, SEVEN
GRAND PAYDAY DEFINITELY MEANS
WE'RE HOLDING ON TO THE LEAD.
GEORDIE SOUSA: AS HAPPY AS I
AM TO BE AHEAD OF PINWHEEL.
I KNOW ONE GUY WHO'S
DEFINITELY MORE HAPPY ABOUT IT.
DAVE CARRARO: ALL RIGHT,
THANKS SCOTT, APPRECIATE IT.
GEORDIE SOUSA: DAVE.
DAVE CARRARO: THAT'S
A GOOD PAYDAY OVERALL.
GEORDIE SOUSA: ABSOLUTELY,
VERY, VERY WELL.
SANDRO MANIACI: LET'S
GO SPEND IT AT THE BAR.
DAVE CARRARO: YEAH, LET'S GO.
NARRATOR: AT THE END
OF WEEK 10 OF FISHING,
FISHING VESSEL TUNA DOT COM'S
MONSTER FISH SENDS THEM BACK
TO THE TOP OF THE FLEET.
BUT PINWHEEL IS BARELY ONE
FISH AWAY FROM CATCHING UP.
AND WICKED PISSAH'S TWO FISH
BOUNTY LAUNCHES THEM AHEAD OF
HOT TUNA, WHILE AN
UPSETTING DOUBLE LOSS LEAVES
HARD MERCHANDISE DEAD LAST.
DAVE MARCIANO: THERE'S ONLY
TWO WEEKS LEFT IN THE SEASON.
IF OUR LUCK DON'T CHANGE, I
DON'T KNOW HOW MY FAMILY'S
GONNA MAKE IT
THROUGH THE WINTER.
BRAD KRASOWSKI: THIS HASN'T
BEEN THE SEASON I'D HOPED FOR
BUT WITH TWO WEEKS LEFT,
MAYBE WE CAN TURN IT AROUND.
PAUL HEBERT: IT'S TIME TO GRIND
IF WE WANT TO BE SUCCESSFUL.
TJ OTT: WITH JUST A
COUPLE OF WEEKS TO GO,
WE DO NEED TO SPEND EVERY
SECOND ON THE WATER.
WE HAVE TO GO OUT
THERE AND CATCH FISH.
OUR REPUTATION IS AT STAKE.
DAVE CARRARO: WE'RE ON.
IN THE NEXT TWO WEEKS, NOBODY
IS GONNA COME BETWEEN ME AND
MY GOAL OF BEING THE TOP BOAT
IN GLOUCESTER ONCE AGAIN.
TYLER MCLAUGHLIN: WE ONLY GOT
TWO WEEKS OF FISHING LEFT TO
CATCH UP AND CRUSH DOT COM.
WE CAN'T LET THOSE
GUYS OUT-FISH US AGAIN.
WELCOME TO NEW ENGLAND.
TJ OTT: OH, THIS
IS GONNA BE BAD.
NARRATOR: ON THIS
EPISODE OF WICKED TUNA.
TYLER MCLAUGHLIN: WE'RE ABOUT
TO GET ABSOLUTELY PUMMELED.
JOE MARCIANO: WHOA!
NARRATOR: WITH ONLY
THREE WEEKS LEFT TO FISH.
TYLER MCLAUGHLIN:
CLOCK'S TICKING, DUFFY,
I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY MORE BITES
WE'RE GONNA GET THIS SEASON.
DAVE CARRARO: WHOA,
WE'RE ON, WE'RE ON!
NARRATOR: WHEN MOTHER
NATURE LASHES OUT.
SANDRO MANIACI: WE'RE JUST AS
WET AS THIS FISH IS RIGHT NOW.
JASON MUENZNER:
CAN'T EVEN FISH IN THIS.
TYLER MCLAUGHLIN: JUST
SOLID WHITE WATER.
NARRATOR: WHO WILL
TAKE THE BIGGEST RISK?
MATT MATTSON: OH, NO!
DAVE CARRARO: I DON'T MIND
BEING OUT IN THE RAIN RIGHT NOW.
MATT MATTSON: COMING AT US.
SANDRO MANIACI: CRAZY.
NARRATOR: AND WHO WILL REAP?
NICK "DUFFY" FUDGE:
COMING AROUND.
NARRATOR: THE BIGGEST REWARD?
JASON MUENZNER: WE GOT
A DOUBLE, DOUBLE, DOUBLE!
DAVE MARCIANO:
ALL HANDS ON DECK!
DAVE CARRARO: YOU THINK
IT COULD RAIN ANY HARDER?
NARRATOR: THIS IS.
JASON MUENZNER: OH, HERE WE GO.
NARRATOR: WICKED TUNA.
AT THE START
OF WEEK TEN OF FISHING,
WITH THE CLOCK RUNNING
OUT ON TUNA SEASON,
IT'S CRUNCH TIME FOR THE
FLEET'S UNDERPERFORMERS:
HOT TUNA, WICKED PISSAH,
FISH HAWK, AND ESPECIALLY
THE TROUBLED
HARD MERCHANDISE WHO HAVE
NOT CAUGHT A FISH IN A MONTH.
[BELL RINGS]
[EMERGENCY BROADCAST ALARM]

FORECAST FOR EASTERN
MASSACHUSETTS ISSUED

DOPPLER RADAR INDICATED A
LINE OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS
CAPABLE OF PRODUCING
DANGEROUS WINDS IN

[EMERGENCY BROADCAST ALARM]
NOW FOR THE OFFICIAL NATIONAL
WEATHER SERVICE FORECAST...
NICK "DUFFY" FUDGE:
PRETTY SNOTTY OUT THERE.
TYLER MCLAUGHLIN: SURE
AIN'T STOPPING US.
RADIO: 7:21 AM, DOPPLER
RADAR INDICATED.
TYLER MCLAUGHLIN: IT'S BLOWING
40 OR 50 RIGHT NOW AND
DOT COM'S RIGHT OVER THERE,
SO WE'RE GOING HEAD TO HEAD.
WE BOTH WANT IT BAD.
WE'RE ONLY FOUR GRAND
BEHIND THAT GUY RIGHT NOW,
SO ONE GOOD FISH COULD
PUT US OVER THE TOP.
[EMERGENCY BROADCAST ALARM]
RADIO: THIS IS A DANGEROUS
STORM FOR BOATERS AT SEA...
DAVE CARRARO: THIS IS
GONNA BE A NIGHTMARE HERE
IN A LITTLE BIT.
PAUL HEBERT: THIS IS THE
WEATHER THAT SEPARATES THE MEN
FROM THE BOYS.
MY FAMILY'S BEEN OUT HERE
BLUEFIN TUNA FISHING
FOR THREE GENERATIONS.
IF YOU THINK MY FATHER AND MY
GRANDFATHER BITCHED ABOUT
A LITTLE RAIN, YOU GOT
ANOTHER THING COMING.
RICK SCHRAFFT: WE GOT
TWO LINES OUT RIGHT NOW,
I'M HOPING FOR
THAT MORNING BITE.
PAUL HEBERT: WE'RE NOT HAVING
THE SEASON OF OUR LIVES RIGHT
NOW AND WINTER IS COMING.
WE NEED TO CAPITALIZE ON THE
BITE RIGHT NOW SO WE CAN EARN
SOME MONEY AND PUT
FOOD ON THE TABLE.
[CLICKING]
[REEL UNSPOOLING]
WHOA, WHOA, WHOA,
WHOA, WHOA, WHOA.
WE'RE ON, HERE WE
GO, BROTHER, FISH ON!
KEEP AN EYE ON IT,
DON'T LET IT GET LOOSE.
DO YOU WANNA TAKE
YOUR SWEATER OFF?
RICK SCHRAFFT: YEAH, I DO.
PAUL HEBERT: GO, HERE YOU GO.
RICK'S DOING A
GOOD JOB RIGHT NOW.
IT'S NOT EASY HUH, RICK?
RICK SCHRAFFT: NO.
PAUL HEBERT: YOU GOT
HIM ALL CONFUSED, RICK.
YOU DID REALLY GOOD.
GO AHEAD, BUDDY, YOU GOT HIM.
YOU'RE IN A PINWHEEL.
I DON'T HAVE TO MOVE NOW.
NOW, THERE YOU GO, THERE
YOU GO, HE'S COMING, BUDDY,
HE'S COMING,
YOU GOT THIS.
HEY, NICE JOB,
HE'S RIGHT THERE.
HE'S ONLY 60 FEET AWAY.
THERE YOU GO,
HE'S GONNA BREAK.
YOU'RE GONNA GET HIM.
KEEP HIM COMING, TIGHT, TIGHT.
NICE JOB, BRING HIM RIGHT OUT.
BRING HIM RIGHT OUT.
SEE HOW HE'S COMING?
GOT HIM!
YOU'RE DOING
PHENOMENAL, BUDDY.
OH, I GOT HIM, PULL, GOOD JOB.
YOU SMOKED HIM AT THE END.
RICK SCHRAFFT: THANKS, PAUL.
PAUL HEBERT: I THINK
YOU GOT IT LICKED.
THAT RIGHT THERE
IS HOW IT'S DONE.
I'M TEMPTED TO TAKE THIS
FISH RIGHT IN TO THE BUYER.
BUT WE NEED A COUPLE MORE
SO WE'RE GONNA STICK IT OUT,
RIDE THE STORM OUT AND SEE
WHAT ELSE WE CAN CATCH.
94, BABY.
RICK SCHRAFFT: WOW.
PAUL HEBERT: BEAUTIFUL FISH.
UNREAL, UNBELIEVABLE.
JASON MUENZNER: YOU KNOW IT'S
GONNA BE A ROUGH COUPLE DAYS
WHEN THE COAST GUARD'S
HANGING AROUND.
DAVE MARCIANO: LET'S
GET THIS ON THE BOAT.
JOE MARCIANO:
THIS THING'S HEAVY.
DAVE MARCIANO: OVER
THE PAST NINE WEEKS,
WE'VE ONLY GOTTEN THREE FISH.
AND LAST WEEK, THE SEASON WENT
FROM BAD TO WORSE WHEN THE
COAST GUARD SENT US
BACK TO SHORE EARLY.
COAST GUARD: BY LAW, YOU CAN'T
BE OUT HERE FISHING WITH AN
OUT-OF-DATE LIFE RAFT,
SO YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO
HEAD BACK TO PORT.
DAVE MARCIANO: YEAH, YEAH.
I ENDED UP HAVING TO BORROW
MONEY TO FIX THE RAFT.
DON'T JUST DROP IT.
IT COST ME A THOUSAND
BUCKS TO GET THAT REPACKED.
WE KNOW THAT THERE'S SOME
BIG STORMS COMING IN THAT ARE
GONNA AFFECT FISHING
FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS.
BUT WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO?
SIT AT THE DOCK
AND WAIT IT OUT?
WE'RE BEHIND, WE'RE IN DEBT,
WE NEED TO MAKE MONEY RIGHT NOW.
JASON MUENZNER: FINALLY,
WE GOT THAT RAFT.
THIS IS THE TIME THAT THE
FISH ARE REALLY BITING.
IF THEY GO NUTS, WE CAN'T
AFFORD TO MISS OUT ON IT.
DAVE MARCIANO:
CAREFUL WITH THAT.
JASON MUENZNER: WE'RE
JUST GONNA GO SLOW, JOE.
JOE MARCIANO: YEAH.
THE SEASON'S
COMING TO A CLOSE.
WE'RE REALLY
DESPERATE RIGHT NOW.
WE GOT TO RIDE OUT THE
STORM AND FISH THROUGH IT.
DAVE MARCIANO: ALL RIGHT,
GUYS, LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.
JAY, MAKE SURE THE LIFE VEST AND
FLARES ARE WITHIN EASY REACH.
TJ OTT: WE JUST GOT TO GET
OUT THERE AND GIVE IT HELL,
YOU KNOW, I'M STOKED.
THE GUYS ARE STOKED, THE DOGS
ARE STOKED, WE'RE ALL STOKED.
MIKE OTT: JUST HEADING OUT
OF THE HARBOR RIGHT NOW,
JUST LOADING UP
ALL THE GROCERIES,
GOT THE FRIDGE STOCKED,
GOT THE FREEZER STOCKED,
BOTH COOLERS ARE JAM PACKED.
WE GOT A LOT OF
STUFF THIS TRIP.
WE'RE PLANNING ON STAYING OUT
THERE FOR A BIT AND HOPEFULLY
CAPITALIZE ON A
COUPLE OF FISH,
COME HOME WITH A FULL HULL.
[CELL PHONE RINGING]
TJ OTT: OH, BABA, BABA.
BRAD KRASOWSKI: BATTEN
DOWN THE HATCHES, DUDE.
TJ OTT: WHY?
BRAD KRASOWSKI:
THERE'S SOME FREAKY [BLEEP]
ABOUT TO HIT, BRO.
YEAH, WE GOT SOME KIND OF
NASTY FRONT COMING AND IT'S
SUPPOSED TO BLOW 20.
TJ OTT: I DON'T EVEN SEE
NOTHING ON THE RADAR.
JARRETT PRZYBYSZEWSKI:
OVER THERE, DUDE.
BRAD KRASOWSKI: OH, YOU'RE
ALREADY ON YOUR WAY OUT?
TJ OTT: WE'RE GOING AROUND
THE JETTY RIGHT NOW.
BRAD KRASOWSKI: OH, GOD!
IT COULD GET UGLY REAL FAST.
I'VE BEEN THROUGH
BAD WEATHER BEFORE,
WE'RE GONNA STAY OUT
HERE NO MATTER WHAT.
WE NEED THE MONEY TOO BAD.
TJ OTT: LET ME LOOK AT THE
RADAR, I'LL CALL YOU BACK.
JARRETT PRZYBYSZEWSKI:
OH, WOW, LOOK AT THAT.
TJ OTT: IS THAT COMING TO US?
JARRETT PRZYBYSZEWSKI:
USUALLY, IT'S JUST
RED AND YELLOW DUDE.
THAT'S LIKE,
[BLEEP] IT'S PURPLE.
TJ OTT: YEAH, YOU CHECK
YOUR RADAR PERIODICALLY,
BUT I HAVEN'T
LOOKED AT THE RADAR.
NORMALLY, I WOULD LOOK AT
THE RADAR BEFORE I HEAD OUT.
THIS IS DEFINITELY MORE
THAN A LITTLE RAINSTORM MAN.
THIS IS LIKE, THIS
IS PRETTY GNARLY,
TORNADO WARNINGS AND
HAIL WARNINGS AND,
THAT'S US AND YOU CAN SEE IT'S
PUSHING RIGHT DOWN ON US,
SO LIGHTNING AND FIBERGLASS
AND METAL, NO BUENO.
WE'RE JUST GONNA GO BACK TO
THE DOCK AND WAIT A COUPLE OF
HOURS AND THEN LET
IT KIND OF RIDE.
THERE'S PLENTY OF GUYS BEFORE
ME THAT WERE MUCH BETTER
CAPTAINS THAN I AM THAT GOT
CAUGHT IN STORMS THAT WEREN'T
EVEN THAT BAD AND
LOST THEIR LIVES.
SO, IF I SEE A STORM
LIKE THIS APPROACHING,
I THINK THE SAFEST THING TO
DO IS TO PUT MY BOAT OUT OF
HARM'S WAY AND MAKE
SURE EVERYONE'S SAFE.
MIKE OTT: I THINK WE
SHOULD STICK IT OUT.
TJ OTT: MIKE, IF YOU GOT
SOMETHING TO SAY, JUST SAY IT.
MIKE OTT: I DON'T AGREE
WITH THIS ONE BIT.
TJ'S HAPPY IN THE
MIDDLE OF THE PACK,
BUT WE GOT BILLS TO PAY.
AND THIS CLOSE TO THE
END OF THE SEASON,
WE NEED TO FISH HARD
AND FINISH STRONG.
TJ OTT: AS CAPTAIN,
THIS IS MY DECISION AND
THAT'S THE END OF IT.
MIKE OTT: DAMMIT.
TJ OTT: I CAN'T BELIEVE
THERE'S A STORM THAT'S COMING.
MIKE OTT: THIS NEEDS TO STOP.
THIS BOAT BEING TIED
TO THE DOCK ISN'T
GONNA DO US ANY GOOD.
WE NEED TO BE OUT THERE,
WE NEED TO BE FISHING.
THIS SUCKS.
YOU'RE MAKING A BAD CALL, TJ.
YOU CAN'T WIN IF
YOU DON'T PLAY.
TYLER MCLAUGHLIN: WE GOT
THE STORM OF THE CENTURY
COMING IN NOW.
GOTTA GET A BITE HERE,
GOTTA GET A BITE.
WE'RE ABOUT TO GET
ABSOLUTELY PUMMELED.
WHEN YOU'RE FISHING IN
STORMS, A LOT CAN GO WRONG.
I MEAN, WHEN THERE'S
LIGHTNING AROUND,
YOUR BOAT COULD GET STRUCK.
I MEAN, WE'RE THE HIGHEST
THING AROUND AND YOU DON'T
WANNA GET A HOLE IN THE BOTTOM
OF YOUR BOAT BECAUSE YOU'RE
GONNA BE SINKING
AWFULLY QUICK.
PRETTY SURE ALL THE MEGA
YACHTS ARE AT THE DOCK TOO.
ALL THE GUYS THAT
HAVE 40-FOOT BOATS.
I MEAN, WE'RE ON DOT COM'S
TAIL RIGHT NOW AND WE REALLY
NEED THESE FISH AND IF WE GOT
TO FISH THROUGH SOME WEATHER,
WE'RE GONNA DO IT.
[BEEPING]
OH WE'RE MARKING, NICE MARKS.
WHENEVER YOU HAVE ANY SORT OF
PRESSURE CHANGE IN FISHING,
YOU ALWAYS HAVE GOOD FISHING.
THERE'S ALWAYS GOOD BITES
AND GOOD THINGS BECAUSE THE
ANIMALS FREAK OUT TOO
BECAUSE THEY GET NERVOUS,
SO THEY FEED BEFORE THEY GO
IN TO HIDE OUT FOR THE STORM.
BUT ONCE THEY DO
GO DEEP, THAT'S IT.
SO WE GOT TO CAPITALIZE
ON THE BITE RIGHT NOW.
OH, HERE IT COMES.
YOU CAN FEEL IT NOW.
HERE WE GO, HIDING OUT TIME.
IT'S GONNA BLOW LIKE
50 IN TWO SECONDS.
[CLICKING]
[REEL UNSPOOLING RAPIDLY]
NICK "DUFFY" FUDGE:
YEAH, BABY, HOOKED UP!
WE NEED THIS ONE, T!
WE'RE RIGHT ON DOT COM'S
HEELS, BROTHER.
HERE, WE GOT IT.
NOT A LOT OF TIME
LEFT IN THE SEASON,
THIS FISH IS REALLY
KEY FOR US RIGHT NOW.
WE REALLY NEED TO
GET HIM ON THE BOAT.
TYLER MCLAUGHLIN:
CLOCK'S TICKING, DUFFY,
I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY MORE BITES
WE'RE GONNA GET THIS SEASON.
NICK "DUFFY" FUDGE:
I KNOW, I KNOW, MAN.
TYLER MCLAUGHLIN: LET'S
CAPITALIZE ON THIS ONE.
NICK "DUFFY" FUDGE:
WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA.
BACK TO PORT.
TYLER MCLAUGHLIN: GET
SOME, DUFFY, KEEP GOING.
YOU'RE DOING GOOD, BROTHER.
NICK "DUFFY" FUDGE:
OH, I'M GETTING SOME.
I SEE THE SWIVEL.
WE'RE LIKE 30 YARDS OFF.
COMING AROUND, SWIVEL,
DEEP COLOR, UP HIGH.
TYLER MCLAUGHLIN: KEEPER?
NICK "DUFFY" FUDGE: YEAH,
YEAH, YO, GET READY, T.
[THUNDER AND LIGHTNING]
TYLER MCLAUGHLIN:
PUSH IT OUT, KEEP GOING.
YOU'RE FINE, GO.
[THUNDER AND LIGHTNING]
NICK "DUFFY" FUDGE:
UP HIGH AGAIN.
TYLER MCLAUGHLIN: HE'S BIG.
NICK "DUFFY" FUDGE: QUICK.
TYLER MCLAUGHLIN: HE'S GREEN.
NICK "DUFFY" FUDGE:
HE'S REAL GREEN.
TYLER MCLAUGHLIN: THIS FISH IS
ACTING VERY WEIRD AT THE BOAT.
VERY SKITTISH, DANGEROUS.
WE COULD LOSE THE FISH UNDER
THE BOAT AT ANY POINT IN TIME.
NICK "DUFFY" FUDGE:
COMING AT US!
COLOR, RIGHT THERE.
HE'S COMING UP AROUND.
WE NEED THIS FISH, T.
GOT HIM?
TYLER MCLAUGHLIN: I
THREW IT RIGHT OVER HIM,
BACK THE DRAG OFF.
WHAT THE HECK, I
COULDN'T SEE HIM.
WE'RE GETTING HIM
THIS TIME, BROTHER.
LET'S GET HIM THIS TIME.
NICK "DUFFY" FUDGE:
RIGHT HERE, T.
COLOR, STICK HIM, YOU GET HIM?
TYLER MCLAUGHLIN:
NO, WHAT THE HELL?
I, THAT WAS A GOOD THROW,
I LINED HIM UP, BRO.
NICK "DUFFY" FUDGE: LET'S
JUST WORRY ABOUT THE NEXT SHOT.
[THUNDER AND LIGHTNING]
COLOR!
GET HIM, GET HIM.
THROW THE DART,
THROW THE DART, STICK HIM!
TYLER MCLAUGHLIN:
I LINED HIM UP, BRO.
NICK "DUFFY" FUDGE: JUST
WORRY ABOUT THE NEXT SHOT.
COLOR, GET HIM, GET HIM!
STICK HIM!
ALL RIGHT, BROTHER.
TYLER MCLAUGHLIN: BINGO, BABY.
NICK "DUFFY" FUDGE: BINGO!
TYLER MCLAUGHLIN:
PINWHEEL, BABY.
PUTTING TAIL WRAPS ON 'EM.
NICK "DUFFY" FUDGE:
WOW, WHAT A TRICKY FISH.
TYLER MCLAUGHLIN: I HAVEN'T HAD
ONE LIKE THAT IN A WHILE, WHOO!
NICK "DUFFY" FUDGE: YEAH!
TYLER MCLAUGHLIN: HE'S OURS.
NICK "DUFFY" FUDGE:
YEAH, BROTHER.
TYLER MCLAUGHLIN: YEAH!
NICK "DUFFY" FUDGE:
ANOTHER ONE, BABY.
TYLER MCLAUGHLIN: ANOTHER
ONE BITES THE DUST.
MARCHING OUR WAY RIGHT UP THE
TOP OF THE LEADERBOARD, DUDE.
NICK "DUFFY" FUDGE: DUDE, WE
ARE GONNA MARCH RIGHT TO THE
TOP OF THAT MOUNTAIN, BABY.
SMOOTH MOVES, BRAH.
NICE LITTLE 80 SOMETHING.
EIGHTY-SIX ON THE BUTTON.
TYLER MCLAUGHLIN: NICE!
THIS IS A DECENT-SIZED FISH.
AND IF WE GET A
GOOD PRICE FOR IT,
WE'RE GUARANTEED TO JUMP AHEAD
OF DOT COM IN THE EARNINGS.
NOW ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS HOPE
THAT THE STORM RUINS THEIR
CHANCES TO CATCH
THIS WEEK AND WE'RE
NUMBER ONE WITH A BULLET.
YEAH, BUDDY.
NICK "DUFFY" FUDGE: WHOO!
TYLER MCLAUGHLIN: YES!
ALL RIGHT, DUFF,
LET'S GET INSIDE.
[THUNDER AND LIGHTNING]
JOE MARCIANO: WHOA!
DAVE MARCIANO: OH YEAH,
THAT'S A NASTY SQUALL COMING.
JASON MUENZNER: HOW COME WE'RE
ALWAYS UNDER THE DARK CLOUD?
OOH, OH, DID YOU SEE THAT?
LIGHTNING RIGHT ON THE WATER.
HARD MERCH IS ABOUT
TO GET HIT BY A STORM.
WE DON'T LIKE FISHING
IN THE BAD WEATHER,
BUT AFTER WEEKS OF BAD LUCK,
WE'RE DESPERATE TO CATCH.
[THUNDER AND LIGHTNING]
SKETCH.
DAVE MARCIANO: JAY, LET THAT
LINK DOWN FOUR MORE POLES.
IT'S ABOUT TO GET REAL.
JOE MARCIANO: WHOA, WE'RE
JUST GONNA FISH IT OUT.
HOME IS THAT WAY, SO THAT'S
THE WAY OF THE STORM,
SO WE'RE JUST GONNA
SIT HERE AND HOPEFULLY,
WE DON'T GET STRUCK.
[THUNDER AND LIGHTNING]
DAVE MARCIANO: RIGHT NOW,
WE'RE ALL JUST HOPING
FOR THE SAME THING.
JASON MUENZNER: AT LEAST
WE DON'T HAVE A
40-FOOT LIGHTNING POLE.
DAVE MARCIANO: THAT WEATHERING
THIS STORM IS GONNA PAY OFF
AND THE BOAT STAYS IN ONE
PIECE ALONG WITH ALL OF US.
NOW YOU GUYS STAY OUT
HERE AND KEEP CHUMMING,
I'LL BE INSIDE
WATCHING THE MACHINE.
JOE MARCIANO: SOUNDS GOOD.
BRAD KRASOWSKI: WE
NEED TO GET A BITE.
THAT JIGGING ROD IS PERFECT.
MATT MATTSON: EVERYTHING'S
PERFECT EXCEPT FOR THERE'S NO
TUNA ON THE LINE.
BRAD KRASOWSKI: IT'S
JIGGING PERFECTLY.
THIS STORM IS ABOUT TO TURN
OUR WEEK AND MAYBE OUR
BOAT UPSIDE DOWN.
BUT STORM OR NO STORM,
WE NEED EVERY PENNY
WE CAN GET RIGHT NOW.
I NEED TO CATCH FISH TO
PUT FOOD ON THE TABLE
FOR MY FAMILY.
♪ MATT MATTSON: WE HAVE
NO TUNA ON THE LINE. ♪
♪ WE NEED A TUNA
ON THE LINE. ♪
THERE'S A STORM COMING IN,
DON'T CARE, BRING IT ON.
WITH ONLY THREE WEEKS LEFT,
THERE'S NO WAY THIS STORM'S
SENDING US BACK TO SHORE.
IT'S ONLY RAIN.
WE'RE NOT MADE OF SUGAR.
WE'RE NOT GONNA MELT.
BRAD KRASOWSKI:
JONESING FOR A TUNA.
IT'S LIKE A DRUG.
MATT MATTSON: TUNA ADDICT.
DAVE CARRARO: BOY,
IT'S NASTY OUT, HUH?
DEFINITELY A FRONT
COMING THROUGH.
SANDRO MANIACI:
WINDY OUT THERE.
GEORDIE SOUSA:
YEAH, I KNOW IT.
DAVE CARRARO: BAD WEATHER IS
ABOUT TO HIT AND IT'S GONNA
AFFECT FISHING THE
NEXT COUPLE DAYS,
BUT WE'RE RUNNING NECK AND
NECK WITH PINHEAD AND THEY'VE
ALREADY CAUGHT ONE TODAY.
THAT FISH CAN PUT THEM
AHEAD IN THE EARNINGS,
BUT WE'RE NOT GONNA
LET THAT HAPPEN.
WE'RE GONNA RIDE
OUT THE STORM,
DO WHAT WE GOT TO DO TO
PUT MORE MEAT ON THE DECK.
GEORDIE SOUSA: I'M
MAKING EGGS, BOYS.
SANDRO MANIACI:
BACON AND EGGS.
DAVE CARRARO:
PUTTING SKINS ON NOW.

RICK SCHRAFFT: WE HAVE
ONE FISH ON THE DECK,
BUT WE NEED ALL THE PAYCHECKS
WE CAN GET RIGHT NOW.
OTHERWISE, IT'S GONNA
BE A LEAN WINTER FOR
PAUL'S AND MY FAMILY.
SOMETIMES RIGHT BEFORE THE
STORM HITS, THE FISH TURN ON.
AND IF YOU CAN
RIDE THE STORM OUT,
THERE'S A GOOD CHANCE
YOU CAN GET A BITE.
[BEEPING]
THAT'S A TUNA.
BRAD KRASOWSKI: THERE
HE IS, RIGHT UNDER US.
MATT MATTSON: OH, THAT'S
RIGHT ON OUR BAIT RIGHT THERE.
BRAD KRASOWSKI: COMING
UP AND COMING DOWN.
GOING UP AND COMING DOWN.

MATT MATTSON: THROW
THE ANCHOR, BRAD?
BRAD KRASOWSKI: YEAH,
LET'S GET AWAY FROM IT.
WE GOT SOME ACTION HERE.
ROUGH WEATHER, NOW WE JUST
GOT TO TRY TO EASE THEM IN.
HOPE HE DOESN'T
GO FOR THE ANCHOR.
MATT MATTSON: HE'S RUNNING.
BRAD KRASOWSKI: WE
FINALLY GOT A BITE.
NOW WE JUST GOTTA
HOPE WE GET HIM.
MATT MATTSON: WE'RE HOOKED UP,
WE'RE BACKING DOWN RIGHT NOW.
HE'S STILL TAKING DRAG.

TIRE HIM OUT HERE.

RICK SCHRAFFT:
ALL RIGHT, WE'RE ON.
COME ON, WE'RE ON!
WE'RE ON, WE'RE HOOKED UP.
PAUL HEBERT: TAKING LINE?
RICK SCHRAFFT: YEAH.
PAUL HEBERT: NICE.
RICK SCHRAFFT: YOU
KNOW STORMY WEATHER,
YOU GOT TO FIGHT THIS FISH IN
SOME EIGHT, NINE FOOT, SEAS,
YOU'RE UP AND DOWN, YOU'RE
TAKING WATER OVER THE BOAT,
OVER THE BACK, AND IT PUTS
TENSION ON THE MAIN LINE AND
WE COULD POP THE FISH OFF AND
YOUR CHANCES OF LOSING A FISH
ARE THAT MUCH GREATER.
PAUL HEBERT: IT'S ALL RIGHT.
TAKE YOUR TIME,
RICK, HE'S RUNNING.
LET HIM RUN.
SANDRO MANIACI:
I'M ALREADY SOAKED.
DAVE CARRARO: YOU THINK
IT COULD RAIN ANY HARDER?
GEORDIE SOUSA: ACTUALLY,
RIGHT AS YOU SAID THAT, DAVE,
IT JUST STARTED
RAINING HARDER.
IT DID, IT JUST STARTED
RAINING HARDER, YOU [BLEEP].
SANDRO MANIACI: WE'RE JUST AS
WET AS THIS FISH IS RIGHT NOW.
DAVE CARRARO: SIXTY FEET RIGHT
NOW FOR THE LAST FIVE MINUTES,
CAN'T BUDGE HIM.
SANDRO MANIACI: THE
WEATHER IS NOT HELPING.
BRAD KRASOWSKI: BAD CONDITIONS.
WE'VE BEEN WAITING
FOR THIS BITE.
WE FINALLY GOT ONE ON AND
IT'S INSTANTLY
FIVE TO SIX FOOT,
BLOWING THIRTY.
THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING.
TOMORROW'S STORM IS SUPPOSED
TO MAKE THIS LOOK LIKE AN
APRIL SHOWER.
MATT MATTSON: WHAT
ARE YOU GONNA DO?
AT LEAST WE GOT
ONE ON HERE, BOSS.
I'M GRATEFUL FOR THAT.
I'D BE EVEN MORE GRATEFUL IF
THE TUNA GODS PRAY DOWN ON US
AND GIVE US A CHANCE
TO GET THIS FISH.
BE NICE TO GET A PAYCHECK
TO HELP THE WINTER.
HE'S RUNNING, BABY, WHOO!
I THINK HE'S DEFINITELY
A BIG'UN AND PROBABLY THE
BIGGEST FISH WE'VE HAD
HOOKED UP THIS YEAR,
HE'S TAKING THE BIGGEST RUNS.
ALL WE CAN DO IS SIT HERE
AND LET HIM BURN OUT
ALL HIS ENERGY.
WHEN IN DOUBT, BURN
'EM OUT, YOU KNOW,
WE REALLY NEED
THIS FISH, HEY, HEY.
KEEP IT TIGHT.
WE JUST HAVE TO PLAY HIS
GAME FOR A LITTLE WHILE.
IT AIN'T GONNA BE TOO LONG
BEFORE I END THAT GAME AND
START PLAYING MY GAME.
HE'S DUMPING.
BRAD KRASOWSKI: PUT
IT UP A LITTLE BIT.
MATT MATTSON: WHAT,
OH NO, [BLEEP].
BRAD KRASOWSKI:
THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS.
MATT MATTSON: I
THINK WE LOST HIM.
PULLED THE HOOK,
UNBELIEVABLE, UNBELIEVABLE.
BRAD KRASOWSKI: WE HOOK UP.
IT'S LIKE A
TORRENTIAL MONSOON.
MATT MATTSON: IT'S VERY
DISAPPOINTING RIGHT NOW,
ESPECIALLY THIS
LATE IN THE SEASON.
THAT'S TERRIBLE, MAN.
BRAD KRASOWSKI: WHAT
ARE YOU GONNA DO?
MATT MATTSON: YOU
CAN'T GET DISCOURAGED.
WE'RE JUST GONNA PUT THE LINES
BACK OUT, GO AT IT AGAIN,
AND TRY TO GET
ANOTHER HOOK UP.
OH, MY GOD.
WE FINALLY GOT A NICE FISH
ON AND WE PART HIM OFF AND
PULL THE HOOK.
BRAD KRASOWSKI: WE'RE
GETTING SOME TOUGH BREAKS,
BUT THERE'S NOTHING
YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT.
WHEN IT RAINS, IT POURS.
SANDRO MANIACI:
I HATE DOING THIS.
GEORDIE SOUSA: I KNOW IT'S
GETTING [BLEEP] BY THE MINUTE.
SANDRO MANIACI: WAVES
ARE GETTING BIGGER NOW.
[BLEEP] YOU, MOTHER NATURE.
THIS IS WHEN THIS
TURNS INTO WORK.
DAVE CARRARO: NOW REMEMBER,
WE GOT TO BE CAREFUL
WITH THE ROLLS HERE.
HERE WE GO, I GOT COLOR.
GEORDIE, YOU'RE GONNA TAKE
THE CONTROLS AND DRIVE.
GEORDIE SOUSA: YEAH, YEAH.
DAVE CARRARO: ALL RIGHT,
YOU HAVE THE BOAT, GEORDIE.
GEORDIE SOUSA: YEAH.
DAVE CARRARO: HE'S GOT IT.
SANDRO MANIACI: HE'S CHARGING.
JUMP FORWARD, JUMP FORWARD,
HARD, HARD, HARD, HARD, HARD,
HARD, HARD, HARD, HARD.
DAVE CARRARO: HE'S
GOING UNDER THE BOAT.
SANDRO MANIACI: REVERSE,
REVERSE, REVERSE.
HARD, REVERSE, HARD.
DAVE CARRARO: GO
FASTER, HARD LEFT.
NICE JOB, KEEP GOING LEFT.
ALL RIGHT, STOP,
NEUTRAL, NEUTRAL!
SANDRO MANIACI: IT'S
GOING UNDER THE BOAT!
DAVE CARRARO: NEUTRAL,
WE'RE GONNA LOSE OUR FISH.
YOU'RE ON TOP OF IT.
GO, GO, GO, GO.
HE'S GONNA CUT THAT LINE.
SANDRO MANIACI:
HE'S GOING RIGHT.
FORWARD RIGHT.
DAVE CARRARO: KEEP GOING.
GEORDIE SOUSA: I TOLD
YOU I HATE DOING THAT.
DAVE CARRARO: HE'S
GONE, HE BROKE OFF.
GEORDIE SOUSA: WHAT A CLUSTER.
DAVE CARRARO: THE
ONE THAT GOT AWAY.
LOSING THIS FISH
IS A REAL BLOW.
IF TYLER'S FISH IS
WORTH BIG MONEY,
HE'S GONNA KNOCK
US OUT OF THE TOP.
WHATEVER'S COMING TOMORROW,
WE'LL BE OUT IN IT BECAUSE I
CANNOT LET HIM GET AHEAD.
GEORDIE SOUSA:
BROKE HIM OFF, SUCKS.
ON THE OTHER HAND,
I'M GLAD THAT'S OVER.
PAUL HEBERT: WE WANNA
GET AWAY FROM OUR ANCHOR.
RICK SCHRAFFT: THANK YOU,
ANOTHER NICE FISH RIGHT HERE.
PEELED OUT A LOT OF LINE, WE
GOT A BEAUTY ON THE LINE HERE.
HE'S ANGRY.
PAUL HEBERT: HOW
YOU DOING, RICK?
ALL RIGHT?
RICK SCHRAFFT: I'M GAINING ON
HIM, STRAIGHT OFF THE STERN,

PAUL HEBERT: BE CAREFUL,

RICK SCHRAFFT: YEAH.
PAUL HEBERT: HE'S

KEEP HIM COMING
ALL RIGHT, OKAY.
KEEP HIM COMING, KEEP
COMING, KEEP COMING.
YEAH, HE'S A BIG ONE.
YOU GOT TO KEEP THAT
LINE AWAY FROM THE BOAT.
YOU'RE DOING
REALLY GOOD, RICK.
RICK SCHRAFFT: BUT I
HOPE HE'S GETTING TIRED.
PAUL HEBERT: YEAH, HE IS.
NICE AND EASY, ALL RIGHT.
HE'S RIGHT THERE, OKAY.
RICK SCHRAFFT: YEAH.
PAUL HEBERT: I'M GONNA
COME BACK WITH YOU.
RICK SCHRAFFT: OKAY.
PAUL HEBERT: TURN

RICK SCHRAFFT:
HERE HE COMES, PAUL.
PAUL HEBERT: TURN THE
ROD, HE'S COMING AROUND.
WE GOTTA KEEP THAT LINE
AWAY FROM THE BOAT.
YEAH!
RICK SCHRAFFT:

PAUL HEBERT: TURN THE
ROD, HE'S COMING AROUND.
WE GOTTA KEEP THAT LINE
AWAY FROM THE BOAT.
GOT HIM.
GAFF, GAFF HIM.
THERE YOU GO!
YEAH, NICE FISH!
THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS
WHEN YOU TOUGH IT OUT.
WE GOT TWO FISH ALREADY AND
THAT'S GONNA GO A LONG WAY AND
KEEP THE HEAT ON IN
THE HOUSE THIS WINTER.
KEEP GOING, RIGHT THERE.
84 INCHES.
LOOK AT HOW FAT HE IS.
RICK SCHRAFFT: YEAH,
HE'S A FAT 84-INCHER,
THERE'S NO DOUBT.
PAUL HEBERT: UNBELIEVABLE,
TWO BIG BASTARDS!

KILLING ME, MAN.

YOU CAN'T BE
CATCHING AT THE DOCK.

MIKE OTT: WE'RE AT THE DOCK
AND WE'RE HEARING PINWHEEL AND
WICKED PISSAH GOT FISH.
I AM PISSED OFF RIGHT NOW.
AND ALL THESE GUYS CATCHING
FISH THAT, YOU KNOW.
JARRETT PRZYBYSZEWSKI:
YOU'VE GOT TO HAND IT TO 'EM.
THEY DESERVE IT,
THEY'RE OUT THERE EVERY DAY.
MIKE OTT: YEAH, I AGREE.
RIGHT NOW, THE STORM IS
JUST NOT A GOOD EXCUSE TO
HAVE THE BOAT AT THE DOCK.
PEOPLE ARE OUT THERE FISHING.
WE SHOULD BE TOO.
DAD WOULD BE HAVING A
MENTAL BREAKDOWN RIGHT NOW.
MY DAD IS THE CO-OWNER OF
THE HOT TUNA AND HE'S SERIOUS
ABOUT THIS BOAT BEING
A PROFITABLE BUSINESS.
RIGHT NOW, THE HOT TUNA
IS NOT ONE OF THE
FLEET'S BIG MONEYMAKERS.
AND SITTING AT THE DOCK IS
NOT GONNA HELP CHANGE THAT.
I'M CALLING DAD.
DAD IS THE ONLY GUY
TJ WILL LISTEN TO.
IF THIS CALL DOESN'T GET US BACK
ON THE WATER, NOTHING WILL.
HEY, DAD.
TYLER MCLAUGHLIN:
WHAT'S UP, GUT?
GUT: HEY, WHAT'S
GOING ON, TYLER?
TYLER MCLAUGHLIN: WE
GOT A NICE ONE FOR YOU.
IT'S CRUNCH TIME THOUGH SO
WE GOT TO GET IT OFF AND
GET BACK OUT THERE.
GUT: ALL RIGHT, SOUNDS GOOD.
TYLER MCLAUGHLIN: WE
BRAVED THE WIND, RAIN,
AND LIGHTNING TO
BRING IN THIS FISH.
SO HOPEFULLY THIS IS THE ONE
THAT PUTS US WELL AHEAD
OF THE DOT COM.
HOW MUCH THIS BEAUTY WEIGH?
GUT: 309.
TYLER MCLAUGHLIN: NICE.
HEY, WE'RE COMING
UP TO CHECK HIM OUT.
THE BUYER WANTS A GOOD
RED COLOR, GREASY FAT,
AND A NICE CORE.
GUT: LOOK AT THAT CORE,
THAT'S A DIAMOND.
TYLER MCLAUGHLIN: HEY, YOU'RE
DOING, WE'VE BEEN TRYING, GUT.
WE'RE JUST TRYING TO CATCH UP.
GUT: I'LL TELL YOU WHAT?
YEAH, THIS IS A REAL NICE FISH.
HMM, $22.
NICK "DUFFY" FUDGE: ALL
RIGHT, ALL RIGHT, BROTHER.
TYLER MCLAUGHLIN:
OH, YES, THANK GOD.
NO DOUBT ABOUT IT, THIS IS
THE FISH THAT PUTS US ONE STEP
AHEAD OF THE DOT COM AND WE
CAN OUT-FISH THOSE GUYS
IN ANY WEATHER.
PINWHEEL, NUMBER ONE, BABY.
THANK YOU GUT,
APPRECIATE IT, BROTHER.
GUT: YEAH, THANK YOU GUYS.
TYLER MCLAUGHLIN:
BACK TO THE MEAT.
GUT: ALL RIGHT, GOOD ENOUGH.
[INAUDIBLE]
NARRATOR: PINWHEEL'S
HIGH-QUALITY FISH PUSHES THEM
PAUL HEBERT: I THINK WE
GOT SOME WINNERS, RICK.
RICK SCHRAFFT: I THINK YOU
MIGHT BE RIGHT, PAULIE.
PAUL HEBERT: HEY, WE GOT A
COUPLE NICE ONES FOR YOU, PJ.
PJ: LOOK AT THAT,
PRETTY NICE, PAULIE.
PAUL HEBERT: IT'S AWESOME.
PJ: NICE, WAY TO GO GUYS.
RICK, I'M PROUD OF YOU.
RICK SCHRAFFT: I WAS ALL SET
FOR THIS TO BE A HELLISH TRIP,
WITH THE STORM AND EVERYTHING.
PJ: YOU GUYS ARE CRAWLING
UP TO THE A-LIST.
PAUL HEBERT: PRETTY
LITTLE BUM-BUM.
RICK SCHRAFFT: BUT
WITH TWO FISH ON ICE,
IT TURNED OUT TO BE ONE OF
THE BEST TRIPS OF THE YEAR.
PAUL HEBERT: I CAME OUT, RICK
HAD EVERYTHING UNDER CONTROL.
WHAT YOU GOT FOR
A WEIGHT THERE?
PJ: 356 POUNDS ON THIS ONE.
RICK SCHRAFFT: NICE.
PAUL HEBERT: NICE, BEAUTIFUL.
PJ: NICE FISH, GUYS,
NICE PINKISH CORE.
NICE TAIL COLOR, A
LITTLE BIT WATERY.
THIS ONE HERE, $13 A POUND.
RICK SCHRAFFT: NICE.
PAUL HEBERT: THAT AIN'T BAD.
AFTER WHAT WE WENT
THROUGH TO GET IT,
I WAS EXPECTING
A BETTER PAYOFF.
HOPEFULLY WE'LL DO
BETTER ON THIS NEXT ONE.
PJ: HOLY COW.
PAUL HEBERT: LOOK AT
THE SHAPES ON HIM.
PJ: 313 POUNDS,
BEAUTIFUL SIZE.
PAUL HEBERT:
THAT'S PERFECT SIZE.
LET'S CHECK THIS ONE OUT HERE.
RICK SCHRAFFT: YEAH.
PAUL HEBERT: WHAT DO YOU
THINK OF THAT ONE, PJ?
I NEED GOOD MONEY
FOR ONE OF THESE.
PJ: THAT'S A,
THAT'S A NICE FISH,
PINKISH TAIL ALL THE
WAY THROUGH THE MAJORS.
GOOD SIZE, THIS ONE
HERE, $26 A POUND.
PAUL HEBERT: YEAH, I TOLD
YOU IT WAS A NICE FISH.
RICK SCHRAFFT: YEAH, ALL
RIGHT, PJ, THANK YOU.
PAUL HEBERT: THIS IS
WHEN IT'S ALL WORTH IT.
WE GOT TWO FISH IN
SOME NASTY WEATHER.
THAT KIND OF MONEY
GOES A LONG WAY,
EASING MY WORRIES
ABOUT THE WINTER AHEAD.
PJ: KEEP 'EM COMING.
RICK SCHRAFFT: WE'RE GONNA
BRING YOU SOME MORE, PJ.
PJ: KEEP 'EM COMING, RICK.
YOU'RE DOING GOOD.
PAUL HEBERT: WE'RE GONNA
LIGHT THIS PLACE UP!
[CELL PHONE RINGING]
TJ OTT: HELLO?
TIM OTT: TJ?
TJ OTT: YEAH.
TIM OTT: HOW ARE YOU GONNA
CATCH 'EM AT THE DOCK?
TJ OTT: HOW DO YOU KNOW THIS?
TIM OTT: FROM MICHAEL,
YOU GOT TO BE OUT THERE.
TJ OTT: YOU SEE THIS
GIANT PURPLE STORM COMING?
TIM OTT: TJ, LISTEN TO ME.
IF WE CAN'T START
MAKING PAYCHECKS,
GET PAST ALL THESE OBSTACLES,
I'M GONNA PULL THE PLUG.
MIKE OTT: BOTTOM LINE IS, WHEN
THE OLD MAN SAYS WE GOT TO GO
FISHING, WE GO FISHING.
THERE'S NO IF, ANDS, OR BUTS.
TJ OTT: IT'S JUST COMING NOW.
AND I CAN SEE A LOT OF
LIGHTNING OFF IN THE DISTANCE.
TIM OTT: IF YOU FEEL IT'S NOT
WORTH IT THEN YOU'RE REALLY
NOT CUT OUT TO BE A
BLUEFIN TUNA FISHERMAN.
TJ OTT: OKAY, I'M GONNA DO IT.
BUT, I REALLY DON'T
WANT TO DESTROY MY BOAT.
TIM OTT: YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO BE
ONE STEP AHEAD OF THE REAPER.
TJ OTT: I'M FRUSTRATED.
I REALLY CAN'T BELIEVE
BUBBY DID THIS.
AS CAPTAIN, I MADE THE CALL
TO STAY OFF THE WATER AND
I STAND BEHIND IT.
ANYTIME LIGHTING COMES
THROUGH WITH SEVERE WEATHER,
YOU SHOULDN'T BE OUT THERE.
THANKS A LOT, MICHAEL.
MIKE OTT: SOMEONE
HAD TO DO IT, MAN.
TJ OTT: OH, THIS
IS GONNA BE BAD.
[EMERGENCY BROADCAST ALARM]
RADIO: NOW FOR THE OFFICIAL
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE
FORECAST FOR EASTERN
MASSACHUSETTS.
DOPPLER RADAR INDICATED A
LINE OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS.
STRONG AND POSSIBLY
DAMAGING WINDS ARE
EXPECTED ALONG WITH ROUGH SEAS.
HEAD TO SAFE HARBOR
IMMEDIATELY OR STAY CLOSE TO
SHORE UNTIL THE STORM PASSES.
GEORDIE SOUSA: WE NEED A BITE
PRETTY SOON HERE BEFORE WE
HAVE THIS CRAZY STORM
RIGHT ON TOP OF US.
PAUL HEBERT: HEY,
ARE YOU THERE?
COME IN.
GEORDIE SOUSA: GO AHEAD.
PAUL HEBERT: ARE YOU GUYS
MARKING ANY FISH AT ALL?
GEORDIE SOUSA: NEGATIVE.
[LAUGHTER]
PAUL HEBERT: WE'RE MARKING 'EM
THE WHOLE TIME ALL OUT HERE.
GEORDIE SOUSA: SO FAR, IT
REMAINS TO BE SEEN WHETHER OR
NOT STAYING OUT HERE IN
THE ROUGH WEATHER WAS
EVEN WORTH IT.
TYLER AND PAUL HAVE
BOTH ALREADY GOT FISH.
WE'VE GOT NOTHING.
TYLER DEFINITELY GRABBED THE
TOP SPOT FROM US THIS WEEK AND
THE FALLOUT FROM THAT
HAPPENING IS PROBABLY GONNA BE
WORSE THAN ANY STORM WE
COULD STAY OUT HERE IN.
PAUL HEBERT: THERE'S TWO
ON THE SCREEN RIGHT NOW,
180 AND 150.
DAVE CARRARO: I CAN'T THINK OF
ANYTHING WORSE THAN GOING HOME
EMPTY-HANDED AFTER SPENDING
DAYS IN THIS WEATHER,
ESPECIALLY WITH
TYLER GETTING LUCKY.
GEORDIE SOUSA: THANKS
FOR THE HEADS UP.
DAVE CARRARO: LET'S GO
JUST DOWNWIND OF HIM.
PAUL'S MARKING, WE'RE NOT.
IT'S TIME FOR US TO MAKE A
MOVE AND GO SET UP BY HIM.
PULL THE LINES, LET'S MOVE.
WE'RE ON, WE'RE ON,
WE'RE ON, WHOO-HOO!
WE'RE ON, PULL IT.
GEORDIE SOUSA: WE'RE JUST
PULLING THEM IN TO MOVE
AND WE'RE TIGHT.
PAUL HEBERT: GOOD
JOB, GET 'EM, GET 'EM.
TYLER MCLAUGHLIN: CAN'T
CONTROL HOW MANY DOT COM
CATCHES BUT WE CAN DO THE BEST
TO TRY AND MAKE SURE WE CATCH
AS MANY AS POSSIBLE.
ALL WE CAN DO IS DO WHAT WE DO
BEST AND THAT'S PUT HOOKS IN
THE WATER AND
KEEP ON GRINDING.
DAVE CARRARO: ARE WE
FREE FROM THE ANCHOR?
GEORDIE SOUSA: YES, YOU ARE.
DAVE CARRARO: HE WENT
RIGHT OUT OF MY HAND.
THIS REEL WAS JUST
GETTING TO MAKE A, LIKE,
GET READY TO MAKE A LITTLE
MOVE AND IT RIPPED IT RIGHT
OUT OF MY HAND AS I
WAS REELING IT IN.
SOMETHING'S WRONG WITH
THIS, FEELS AWFULLY TIGHT.
I DON'T MIND BEING OUT
IN THE RAIN RIGHT NOW.
THIS IS A GOOD PROBLEM.
I DON'T MIND BEING
WET RIGHT NOW.
SANDRO MANIACI: YEAH, IT'S NOT
VERY COMFORTABLE, YOU KNOW,
FISHING IN THIS STUFF BUT,
FISH SEEM TO BITE WHEN IT'S
LIKE THIS SO.
DAVE CARRARO: OH,
YEAH, IT'S GOING ON.
A LITTLE HERCULES FISH HERE.
SANDRO MANIACI: I GOT
COLOR RIGHT THERE.
DAVE CARRARO: COLOR.
SANDRO MANIACI:
HE'S RIGHT THERE.
DAVE CARRARO: OH, YEAH.
HE CAME OUT THERE.
GET READY FOR A SHOT.
HE'S BEEN CLOSE, HE'S
BEEN CLOSE FOR A WHILE.
GEORDIE SOUSA: TOO MUCH
TAKE AND NOT A LOT OF
GIVE GOING ON HERE.
DAVE CARRARO: OH, MY GOD,
THIS THING IS HORRIBLE.
THERE HE IS, COLOR.
SANDRO MANIACI:
HOW ABOUT THEM APPLES?
GEORDIE SOUSA:
NICE WORK, DAVE.
DAVE CARRARO: GOT HIM.
SANDRO MANIACI: LOOK
HOW FAT HIS TAIL IS.
GEORDIE SOUSA: THAT'S
A PORKER, DUDE.
DAVE CARRARO: GOT ONE,
PEEL AND EAT SHRIMP, BABY!
SANDRO MANIACI: FINALLY!
GEORDIE SOUSA: WOW,
NICE WORK, GUYS.
DAVE CARRARO: THAT WAS
A BRUTAL FREAKING FISH.
GEORDIE SOUSA: YEAH, IT WAS.
NICE WORK, GUYS.
SANDRO MANIACI: WHOO, GOT HIM.
THAT FISH PUT UP A
SERIOUS STRUGGLE.
HE'S OURS.
DAVE CARRARO: WHO
NEEDS A WENCH?
I HOPE TYLER ENJOYED HIS
LEAD WHILE IT LASTED.
ALL RIGHT.
GEORDIE SOUSA: HE'S ROUND.
88 AND A HALF, I LOVE IT.
DAVE CARRARO:
88 AND A HALF.
GEORDIE SOUSA: NICE.
SANDRO MANIACI: YOU
KNOW THAT OLD SAYING,
WHEN IT RAINS, IT POURS?
IT'S TWICE AS TRUE WHEN
IT COMES TO TUNA FISHING.
GEORDIE SOUSA: NICE
WORK, GANG, NICE FISH.
DAVE CARRARO:
TAKE THAT, TYLER.
MATT MATTSON: IT'S RAINING.
WE'RE DEFINITELY
GONNA HOOK ONE NOW.
BRAD KRASOWSKI: YESTERDAY,
THE WHOLE FLEET GOT HIT PRETTY
HARD WITH WIND,
RAIN, AND LIGHTNING.
AND FROM WHAT WE'RE HEARING,
TODAY'S STORM IS SUPPOSED TO
PUT THAT SQUALL TO SHAME.
HARD RAIN, REALLY
GOOD TUNA WEATHER.
THE FISH DON'T CARE BECAUSE
THEY'RE ALREADY WET.
NICK "DUFFY" FUDGE:
OH, MY GOD, DUDE.
THERE'S SO MUCH
WATER IN THIS WINDOW.
TYLER MCLAUGHLIN: OH,
JUST SOLID WHITE WATER.
SEE, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN,
WE'RE IN A MONSOON.
IT'S BLOWING 40, WE'RE
TAKING WAVES OVER THE BOW.
WE GOT BIG THUNDER BOOMERS
STRETCHING ALL THE WAY FROM
THE GULF OF MAINE
TO LAKE ONTARIO.
JOE MARCIANO: YEAH,
THIS WIND'S PICKING UP.
JASON MUENZNER: HERE COMES THE
WIND AND, I JUST GOT COLD TOO.
WE'RE IN IT, WE'RE
LEGIT IN IT RIGHT NOW.
HERE WE GO, LOOK
AT THAT FLAGPOLE.
LOOK AT THE FLAGPOLE.
DAVE, THE FLAGPOLE
IS LIKE THIS.
DAVE MARCIANO: THE WEATHER
REPORT IS CALLING FOR WINDS
MORE THAN 50 KNOTS.
THE SWELLS CAN GET
AS HIGH AS 10 FEET.
NOW WE'VE BEEN THROUGH STORMS
LIKE THIS BEFORE BUT WEATHER
LIKE THIS CAN SPIN THIS
BOAT LIKE A TOP AND
THAT CAN GET PRETTY HAIRY.
JASON MUENZNER: THE BOAT'S
PROBABLY GONNA SWING ON TOP
OF THE ANCHOR.
WE DON'T WANT OUR ANCHOR LINE
OR OUR FISHING LINE GETTING
CAUGHT IN THE PROP.
WHEN THE WIND IS THIS HIGH,
THE BOAT'S DOING CIRCLES.
INSTEAD OF ALL THE LINES
AND BAITS JUST SITTING NICE,
THEY GET SWIRLED AROUND IN
THAT TURNING WATER AND THEY
COULD EASILY GET TANGLED
UNDERNEATH THE BOAT.
DAVE, KEEP AND AN
EYE ON THIS ANCHOR.
DAVE MARCIANO: YEAH.
JASON MUENZNER: WE'RE
GONNA SWING RIGHT ON IT.
HEADS UP FOR THE ANCHOR.
DAVE MARCIANO: [BLEEP].
THE WIND JUST CAME
AROUND 180 DEGREES.
IT'S ABOUT TO GET TOO ROUGH TO
EVEN THINK ABOUT FISHING AND
THAT IS JUST ONE MORE SETBACK
WE DON'T NEED RIGHT NOW.
[REEL UNSPOOLING RAPIDLY]
JASON MUENZNER:
WE'RE ON, LET'S GO!
[REEL UNSPOOLING RAPIDLY]
JASON MUENZNER:
WE'RE ON, LET'S GO!
DAVE MARCIANO:
IT'S IN THE WHEEL.
JASON MUENZNER: HUH?
DAVE MARCIANO:
IT'S IN THE WHEEL.
WE GOT GET THESE
OTHER RIGS IN.
THE MERCH IS ONE OF THE
SMALLEST BOATS IN THE FLEET
AND WE'VE PUT THAT OLD
GIRL THROUGH A LOT.
I REALLY HOPE SHE CAN
HOLD TOGETHER THROUGH
ALL THIS CRAZINESS.
[THUNDER AND LIGHTNING]
DAMMIT!
AH DAMMIT!
JOE MARCIANO: SHOULD I
REEL THIS ONE IN TOO?
JASON MUENZNER: OH
[BLEEP] NICE JOB, BRO.
DAVE MARCIANO:
THAT'S GOOD, JOE.
JOE MARCIANO: ALL RIGHT.
JASON MUENZNER:
THIS BAIT'S GONE.
DAVE MARCIANO: JUST GET
THAT IN JAY, COME ON IN.
JASON MUENZNER:
THIS BAIT'S GONE.
DAVE MARCIANO: YEAH, I KNOW.
JUST GET IN HERE UNTIL
WE STRAIGHTEN OUT.
JASON MUENZNER: GO,
GO, GO, GO, [BLEEP]!
DAVE MARCIANO:
WE'RE IN PRIMETIME.
WE'RE GETTING
[BLEEP] OUT OF IT.
JASON MUENZNER: THERE'S
A STORM ALL AROUND US.
WE CAN'T EVEN FISH RIGHT
NOW BECAUSE EVERYTHING'S
UP INTO THE ANCHOR.
DAVE MARCIANO: DAMMIT,
THIS ANCHOR AGAIN, AH!
JASON MUENZNER:
PROBABLY 50 KNOTS.
DAVE MARCIANO: YEAH,
WELCOME TO NEW ENGLAND.
WE WENT FROM FLAT CALM TO 50
KNOTS IN LESS THAN 10 MINUTES.
JASON MUENZNER: IT GOES FROM
SUNNY TO CLOUDY TO WINDY TO
FREAKING HORIZONTAL
RAIN, THUNDER.
JOE MARCIANO: LIGHTNING.
JASON MUENZNER: LIGHTNING.
DAVE MARCIANO: I'M SOAKED,
THIS FISHING SUCKS.
JASON MUENZNER: HOLY [BLEEP].
JOE MARCIANO: SKETCH.
JASON MUENZNER: BIG WAVES NOW.
YEAH, IT'S A BIG WAVE.
CAN'T EVEN FISH IN THIS.
THE ANCHOR'S TIGHT.
JOE MARCIANO: WHAT?
JASON MUENZNER: THE
ANCHOR'S STILL HOLDING.
WE'RE ALL TIGHT, WHOA.
PROBABLY BE LIKE
THIS FOR A WHILE.
TJ OTT: WE'RE HERE, GET
READY TO DROP ANCHOR.
JARRETT PRZYBYSZEWSKI:
IT'S LIKE MIDDAY RIGHT NOW.
WE FINALLY MADE IT OUT HERE
AND THINGS ARE A LITTLE
INTENSE ON THE BOAT RIGHT NOW.
TJ AND BUBBY ARE HAVING
THEIR DIFFERENCES.
SO I'M JUST GONNA
STAY OUT OF IT.
NEVER GET BETWEEN TWO BROTHERS
FIGHTING BECAUSE NO MATTER
WHO WINS, I LOSE.
PUT SOME NEW BAITS IN AND
SIT AROUND FOR A WHILE.
HURRY UP AND WAIT.
TJ OTT: LET'S GET THE LINES
OUT AND SEE IF THIS TRIP'S
EVEN WORTH IT.
TYLER MCLAUGHLIN: YO, LOOK WHO
FINALLY STARTED TO SHOW UP,
THE HOT TUNA.
MAKING WAY TO THE FISHING
GROUNDS TODAY WE HAVE THE
FISHING VESSEL ALSO
KNOWN AS THE DOCK LOUNGE.
[LAUGHTER]
BRAD KRASOWSKI:
WHAT'D YOU SAY?
TYLER MCLAUGHLIN: WELCOME TO
THE HOT TUNA, HOT TUNA, WHOO!
HE'S LOOKING FORWARD TO
CASHING IN ON SOME OF THE
ELUSIVE BLUEFIN TUNA THAT HAVE
BEEN SWIMMING ALONG THE BANK.
I DON'T THINK THEY'RE
DEPENDING ON THE CHECK
AS MUCH AS WE ARE.
TJ OTT: MIKE GRAB THAT
ROD, BRING IT HERE, PLEASE.
MIKE OTT: HOLD YOUR HORSES.
TJ OTT: THIS ONE, BUBBY.
MIKE OTT: HOLD ON, ONE SECOND
I GOT THIS THING RIGHT HERE.
GIVE ME A SECOND.
TJ OTT: WELL, I GOT
A BAIT IN MY HAND.
MIKE OTT: THAT'S YOUR
PROBLEM, NOT MINE.
TJ OTT: SHUT UP.
MIKE OTT: I JUST DON'T WANT
THIS GOING UNDER THE BOAT.
TJ OTT: MICHAEL SHOULDN'T BE
UPSET WITH ME ABOUT ANYTHING.
I MEAN, REALLY, IF ANYONE SHOULD
BE UPSET IT SHOULD BE ME.
I STAND BEHIND MY DECISION
NOT TO TAKE THE BOAT OUT
IN THE STORM 100%.
JUST DO YOUR JOB, BUBBY.
MIKE OTT: TJ THINKS EVERYTHING
IS HUNKY DORY RIGHT NOW
BECAUSE WE'RE FINALLY
OUT IN THE WATER.
BUT IF HE WANTS ME TO RELAX
AND LET IT GO AFTER MISSING
OUT ON HALF THE WEEK, HE
SHOULD WAIT UNTIL WE GET SOME
FISH ON DECK.
JARRETT PRZYBYSZEWSKI:
KEEP ON, KEEPING ON.
MIKE OTT: WE MAY HAVE MISSED
THE WORST OF THE STORM BUT WE
ALSO MISSED THE
BEST OF FISHING.
JASON MUENZNER: WE GOT THICKER
FOG, BUT THERE'S FISH HERE.
WE'LL FISH FOR 'EM HARD.
DAVE MARCIANO: SWEET.
JASON MUENZNER: AND HOPEFULLY
WE GET A FEW FISH OUT OF IT
BECAUSE IF WE DON'T
HAVE ANY FISH,
IT'S GONNA BE A LONG RIDE
HOME EMPTY AND HEARTBROKEN.
DAVE MARCIANO: ALMOST EVERY
BOAT THAT WEATHERED THE STORM
OUT HERE CAUGHT A
FISH, BUT NOT US.
MAKE 'EM GOOD.
NO BREAKFAST UNTIL THERE'S
A KEEPER ON THE BOAT.
NO LUNCH UNTIL
THERE'S TWO KEEPERS.
WHAT WE REALLY HOPE RIGHT NOW
IS THAT THE FISH ARE AS HUNGRY
AS WE ARE AND WE CAN
MAKE UP FOR LOST TIME.
[BEEPING]
GOT SOMETHING COMING
UP, STREAKING UP.
STREAKING UP, STREAKING UP,
WATCH THE ROD.
JASON MUENZNER: OH,
WE'RE GETTING A BITE,
WE'RE GETTING A
BITE, WE'RE ON!
JOE MARCIANO:
WE'RE ON, WE'RE ON!
DAVE MARCIANO: WE'RE ON,
REEL, REEL, REEL, REEL!
JASON MUENZNER:
LEAVE THAT OUT THERE.
LEAVE IT OUT THERE,
LEAVE IT OUT THERE.
DAVE MARCIANO: YEAH, LEAVE
IT OUT AND GO FOR THE DOUBLE.
WHAT'S HE FEEL LIKE, JAY?
JASON MUENZNER:
IT'S A BIG FISH.
JOE MARCIANO: STAY ON HIM.
DAVE MARCIANO: THERE YOU GO.
THERE'S A DOUBLE,
JOE, YOU'RE ON.
JASON MUENZNER: HEY,
WE GOT A DOUBLE.
DAVE MARCIANO: IT'S A FISH.
JASON MUENZNER: WE GOT A
DOUBLE, DOUBLE, DOUBLE.
DAVE MARCIANO: THIS IS OUR
CHANCE FOR A BIG PAYDAY, BOYS.
WE NEED IT, ALL HANDS ON DECK.
JASON MUENZNER: DOUBLE, BABY.
DAVE MARCIANO: WE'RE GONNA
GET THAT ONE IN SLOWLY, JOE.
DON'T JUST THROW IT OUT THERE.
WE CAN HANDLE DOUBLES.
I GOT FAITH IN YOU GUYS.
I'LL DO THE YELLING, YOU GUYS
DO THE REELING, ALL RIGHT?
JASON MUENZNER: ALL
RIGHT, WICKED SCREAMER.
DAVE MARCIANO: REEL,
REEL, REEL, REEL.
JASON MUENZNER: HERE
WE GO, HERE WE GO.
DAVE MARCIANO:
GOT YOU ON, JOE?
JOE MARCIANO: NO,
HE'S GONE, [BLEEP].
DAVE MARCIANO: SEND
YOUR ROD OVER HERE.
STILL GOT ONE, GOT TO
MAKE THIS ONE COUNT.
ALL RIGHT, COME ON, JAY.
DON'T LET GO OF IT NOW,
YOU'LL GET YELLED AT.
REEL, REEL, REEL, REEL.
JASON MUENZNER: HE'S
NOT COMING AT US.
DAVE MARCIANO: WHAT?
JASON MUENZNER: I DON'T
KNOW IF HE'S THERE.
DAVE MARCIANO: GONE?
[BLEEP].
JASON MUENZNER: IT'S
GONE, PULLED THE HOOK.
DAVE MARCIANO:
DAMMIT, SUCKER.
AH, PULLED THE HOOK.
THIS DON'T SUCK, IT BLOWS.
WHAT DO WE GOT TO
DO TO CATCH A FISH?
THAT WAS A GOOD ONE TOO.
DAMMIT.
SCOTT: SO WHAT DO YOU
GUYS GOT FOR ME TODAY?
DAVE CARRARO: SCOTT, WE
GOT ONE NICE ON FOR YOU,
BUT WE WANT TO GET
IN ON ICE RIGHT AWAY.
IT MIGHT BE A CLICHÉ TO SAY
WE EARNED THIS FISH BUT
WE EARNED THIS FISH.
WE WEATHERED A HELL OF A
STORM THAT COST US ONE
BUT WE FINALLY CAUGHT.
WHAT DO YOU GOT, SCOTT?
SCOTT: WE HAVE 429 POUNDS.
DAVE CARRARO: THAT'S A
NICE FISH RIGHT THERE,
COMING ON UP.
SCOTT: ALL RIGHT, BOYS.
DAVE CARRARO: IF
I'M NOT MISTAKEN,
THAT LOOKS ALL RIGHT.
SCOTT: WELL, I MEAN IT HAD A
GOOD SHAPE ON IT, GOOD CORE.
DAVE CARRARO: I MEAN THAT'S
A, THAT'S PRETTY DECENT.
SANDRO MANIACI: I AGREE.
SCOTT: YEAH, WE COULD
GET YOU GUYS $17 A POUND.
GEORDIE SOUSA: SEVENTEEN
BUCKS, AWESOME, I LOVE THAT.
DAVE CARRARO: GOOD JOB, BOYS.
SANDRO MANIACI: OH,
YOUR HANDS ARE GREASY.
DAVE CARRARO: YEAH, SEVEN
GRAND PAYDAY DEFINITELY MEANS
WE'RE HOLDING ON TO THE LEAD.
GEORDIE SOUSA: AS HAPPY AS I
AM TO BE AHEAD OF PINWHEEL.
I KNOW ONE GUY WHO'S
DEFINITELY MORE HAPPY ABOUT IT.
DAVE CARRARO: ALL RIGHT,
THANKS SCOTT, APPRECIATE IT.
GEORDIE SOUSA: DAVE.
DAVE CARRARO: THAT'S
A GOOD PAYDAY OVERALL.
GEORDIE SOUSA: ABSOLUTELY,
VERY, VERY WELL.
SANDRO MANIACI: LET'S
GO SPEND IT AT THE BAR.
DAVE CARRARO: YEAH, LET'S GO.
NARRATOR: AT THE END
OF WEEK 10 OF FISHING,
FISHING VESSEL TUNA DOT COM'S
MONSTER FISH SENDS THEM BACK
TO THE TOP OF THE FLEET.
BUT PINWHEEL IS BARELY ONE
FISH AWAY FROM CATCHING UP.
AND WICKED PISSAH'S TWO FISH
BOUNTY LAUNCHES THEM AHEAD OF
HOT TUNA, WHILE AN
UPSETTING DOUBLE LOSS LEAVES
HARD MERCHANDISE DEAD LAST.
DAVE MARCIANO: THERE'S ONLY
TWO WEEKS LEFT IN THE SEASON.
IF OUR LUCK DON'T CHANGE, I
DON'T KNOW HOW MY FAMILY'S
GONNA MAKE IT
THROUGH THE WINTER.
BRAD KRASOWSKI: THIS HASN'T
BEEN THE SEASON I'D HOPED FOR
BUT WITH TWO WEEKS LEFT,
MAYBE WE CAN TURN IT AROUND.
PAUL HEBERT: IT'S TIME TO GRIND
IF WE WANT TO BE SUCCESSFUL.
TJ OTT: WITH JUST A
COUPLE OF WEEKS TO GO,
WE DO NEED TO SPEND EVERY
SECOND ON THE WATER.
WE HAVE TO GO OUT
THERE AND CATCH FISH.
OUR REPUTATION IS AT STAKE.
DAVE CARRARO: WE'RE ON.
IN THE NEXT TWO WEEKS, NOBODY
IS GONNA COME BETWEEN ME AND
MY GOAL OF BEING THE TOP BOAT
IN GLOUCESTER ONCE AGAIN.
TYLER MCLAUGHLIN: WE ONLY GOT
TWO WEEKS OF FISHING LEFT TO
CATCH UP AND CRUSH DOT COM.
WE CAN'T LET THOSE
GUYS OUT-FISH US AGAIN.
