Wicked Tuna: North vs. South (2014–…): Season 3, Episode 5 - Not How We Operate - full transcript
The fifth week of the fishing season becomes a battle for the best fishing spots. The waters turn turbulent as boats go head-to-head to prove their superiority. When old and new rivals ...
NARRATOR: On this episode
of Wicked Tuna Outer Banks.
WILL (off-screen):
Oh there he is!
DALE (off-screen): Got him on!
CHARLIE: Get him, Jake.
Gaff him!
NARRATOR: One captain
has never had a more
compelling reason.
BRITTON: My daughter,
very overwhelming.
NARRATOR: To bring
home a blue fin.
BRITTON (off-screen):
There's a shot!
Come on boy, we
need this one.
NARRATOR: While an
upstart Northerner.
TYLER (off-screen): I'm not
trying to help other people
catch fish out here.
NARRATOR: Stirs up a
Southern gentleman.
CHARLIE (over radio): And if
you're gonna come here and fish
with us you're
gonna play that way.
NARRATOR: And the reigning
champion hits his lowest
point of the season.
GREG: I'm not gonna be
doing anything for at
least a week.
GREG (off-screen): I hope
these fish don't show up.
NARRATOR: While his
rival rides high.
ED: I'm on!
WILL (off-screen):
That's the right one!
ED: Got him on.
WILL (off-screen): Yeah baby!
NARRATOR: This is
Wicked Tuna Outer Banks.
For the first
time this season,
reigning champion
Fishin' Frenzy is
not in the top spot.
With newcomers Foolish
Pleasures now leading the
fleet, meanwhile, Northern
boats Hot Tuna and
Pinwheel have clawed
their way past Southerners
Doghouse and
Reels Of Fortune.
AUSTIN: Has anybody
caught one yet?
No.
CAINE: What is that thing
tomorrow? Like a big picnic and
skeet shoot type deal?
AUSTIN: Yeah.
BRITTON (off-screen): Really,
really praying for a bite today
because we're not gonna
be fishing tomorrow.
My daughter, Ginger
was diagnosed with
Hodgkin's Lymphoma
and she's going
through chemo right now
while we're fishing.
BRITTON (off-screen): A
Christian outdoor
ministry group is hosting
a major benefit for my
daughter and it's gonna be
a skeet shooting
competition.
And everything that she's
gotten is overwhelming,
very overwhelming.
BRITTON (off-screen):
Although I'm not gonna be
thinking about fishing,
tomorrow's gonna be a lot
easier for me not fishing
if we go out
here and catch.
CHARLIE (over radio):
What time is your
function tomorrow, Shack?
BRITTON: I'm thinking
it starts at ten.
CHARLIE: What exactly
are they doing tomorrow?
BRITTON: It's a skeet
shooting tournament.
BRITTON (over radio):
People have gotten teams
together and they have
prizes and all
kinds of stuff.
CHARLIE:
Goddag, I wish we weren't
gonna be in the ocean.
BRITTON: Yeah, it'd
be fun wouldn't it?
CHARLIE: Yeah,
it'd be a hoot man.
CHARLIE (off-screen): I'm
sure Britton would rather
be home and, and be with
his daughter through
this tough time,
but if that were Jake
laying there going through
chemo I, I don't think
I'd be able to work.
I mean it's got
to be terrible,
terrible hard on him.
BRITTON (off-screen):
Oh, there we go.
Oh, oh.
CAINE: Whoa! Got him on!
Got him on, son! Got him on.
Coming to you
live, big sexy.
Come on, Mr. Fishy.
Shake like you mean it.
Spunky little bastard.
BRITTON: I don't
know, Caine.
CAINE: I can't. I ain't had
a good chance to see it.
Got some color down there.
Forward, forward.
I don't see it.
BRITTON: Pull him up.
CAINE: Get your, get
your measuring stick.
I'm stuck.
BRITTON: Dang it!
CAINE: Short.
BRITTON: Goddang, man.
CAINE: Too small. You'll
live another day buddy.
See you next year.
See him take off?
BRITTON: Yeah.
Another squeaker.
Very disappointing.
BRITTON (off-screen):
It wasn't meant to be.
But, I have a calm
assurance that my God is
going to give
me what I need.
CAINE: Caught us
another short.
But that's a good
sign you know,
set her out
and get her in.
TYLER (off-screen): Getting
ready to go fishing.
Excited to be here.
Gonna put some
ballyhoos out see if
we can't get lucky.
TYLER (off-screen): At
this point in time I'm
definitely getting a
little discouraged
that we've only
caught one fish.
We need a morale booster
big time because we just
can't catch a break.
What do you think of those
marks? Nice mark there.
DUFFY: Got him out.
DUFFY (off-screen): I
have confidence that
we're gonna find them.
Let's go, baby.
Even though we've
only got one fish,
keep getting big
fish like that.
It's gonna go a long way.
TYLER: Big tuna.
TYLER (off-screen): Nice
marks at 30 fathoms.
DAVE (over radio): Hey
are you on there, Tyler?
TYLER (over radio): Yeah,
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
What up over there?
DAVE (over radio): We need
to get on some meat here.
DUFFY (off-screen): We're on.
TYLER: Oh we got 'em on.
DAVE (over radio): All
right man good luck.
DUFFY: Yeah baby.
TYLER: Airing it out.
Real deal.
Where's the other rigger?
CHARLIE:
Tyler did you hook a fish?
Did you hook one?
CHARLIE: Do you have any bites
or anything there, Taylor?
Tyler?
Pinhead?
TYLER: Oh. Shut up!
CHARLIE:
Are you gonna tell us about
the bites, or what, man?
TYLER: What a chump.
TYLER (off-screen): It's
really no one's business
if I'm hooked up
fighting fish.
I didn't sign a contract
that says as soon as you
hook up to a tuna when
fishing off the Outer Banks
you must
radio in your catch.
No, stay the hell away.
I wanna catch this fish
and hook another before
another boat finds me.
I don't know what
we got on here.
Treating it like
it's a fish.
I saw it up on top.
Nice run off the bite
seems like a bigger fish
but I don't know.
At this point in the game
we got to treat everything
like it's a real thing.
TYLER (off-screen):
Color. Oh no.
Not even the
right species.
A little Mako.
Lost a hook, lost a bait,
wasting resources out here.
DUFFY (off-screen):
Nothing exciting.
DAVE (over radio): Hey Tyler,
did you land that fish?
TYLER (over radio):
I had a shark.
A shark.
CHARLIE: All's we ask
is that you report what,
you know, if
you get a bite.
CHARLIE (over radio): It's
the way it's always been
and if you're gonna
come here and
fish with us,
you're gonna
play that way.
CHARLIE (off-screen): I want to
know when he a gets a bite,
so that people that are in
the area where he is might
go over there and
capitalize on it and also
get a bite and I don't
think that he fully
understands that.
It's one for all and
all for me with him.
TYLER (off-screen):
I'm not trying to help
other people catch
fish out here.
That's a Southern
boy thing.
He's like the
radio police.
"You didn't radio
in your bite;
oh that's not how we operate
down here in the Outer Banks."
Screw you, man.
TYLER (off-screen): Stop
worrying about what
everyone else is doing and
start worrying about
catching your own fish.
JAKE (off-screen): If
that's what he wants to be,
if that's the person he
wants to be that's fine
'cause it's all gonna
catch up with him.
He's gonna look around
one day and he ain't gonna
have no friends, he's
gonna wonder what happened.
CHARLIE: That's what
aggravates us about you.
That's one of
the things but.
TYLER (over radio):
Yeah, a lot of things
aggravate me too.
DAVE: They definitely
have a unique way of doing
things down here and if
Tyler keeps playing these
little games, sooner or
later he's probably gonna
piss off the wrong person.
CHARLIE (off-screen):
He's cocky.
Somebody's got
to whoop his ass.
GREG (off-screen): Come in.
NICK: Hey, cap.
GREG: Oh, isn't that sweet
you got me my own little
care bear.
BILLON (off-screen):
We thought you would,
we thought
you'd like that.
GREG (off-screen): You
guys are so sweet.
BILLON: A little
friend that'll make
you feel better.
GREG (off-screen): I
got something going
on with my elbow.
It keeps swelling
up on me.
It's Bursitis.
So, I made the decision
to go ahead and have the
surgery, get it done.
GREG (off-screen): I'm
hoping I can get out
of this pretty quick.
I'm not gonna be
doing anything for
at least a week.
GREG (off-screen): I hope
these fish don't show up.
BILLON (off-screen): Wow,
your hand looks, uh.
GREG (off-screen): I look
like a Smurf don't I?
NICK: That looks,
that looks terrible.
GREG: I got to go back in
there tomorrow and get it
checked out,
see what it is.
The worst timing possible.
GREG (off-screen):
To take a week off in
the middle of the season.
It can cost me tens of
thousands of dollars.
NICK: So when do you think
we're gonna make it out?
How you feeling, I mean.
GREG: Obviously I can't do
anything here for a week.
GREG (off-screen): I can't
climb up on a bridge like this.
NICK (off-screen): No.
GREG: It wouldn't help
either one of us out.
NICK: No. It just
ain't worth it.
BILLON (off-screen): No, don't.
GREG: We've
already got one,
one-armed captain in the fleet I
don't think we need another one.
BILLON (off-screen): No.
NICK (off-screen): No sir.
GREG: I don't know
how it's gonna affect
me down the road.
I could end up like Dale.
NICK: If, you
know, get better.
GREG (off-screen): Oh, yeah.
NICK: And don't try to
do anything you ain't
supposed to be doing.
I mean, if you need anything
you know dinner or, or.
GREG (off-screen): Alright.
NICK: Just somebody come
in here and change your
bandage I mean we'll
definitely help you out.
BILLON (off-screen): Whatever
you need just let us know.
GREG: Nick is so
compassionate, isn't he?
BILLON: The timing of this
could not suck anymore.
BILLON (off-screen): Somehow
we're behind the Foolish
Pleasures right now.
GREG (off-screen): Good luck.
BILLON (off-screen): But it is
what it is and we're gonna have
to make the best of it.
We got to have our
captain in tip-top shape.
GREG (off-screen):
My guys are really
looking out for me.
WILL (off-screen):
Come on 600-pounder
air out on the stick.
DALE: Like to see those
babies raining out of the
sky right now.
WILL: I've seen
it out here, man,
it's (bleep) wild too.
DALE (off-screen):
Nothing feels better than
being on top of the
fleet right now.
I knew we could do it.
I didn't know that it was
gonna happen this quick
and I'm overjoyed to be
where we are right now.
DALE (off-screen): We
got a mark right here.
Greg needs to take a day
off to nurse his poor
little sore elbow and
having Greg off the water
is obviously a
great thing for us.
If my elbow was bad I'd
have them do the operation
on the boat while
I was fishing.
WILL: I seen, I remember
one night the sun was
going down, everybody
fished all day and nobody
found (bleep) and we all
got up here right as the
sun was going down and
all you saw was just.
DALE: White water?
WILL: Giant explosions.
And then the stick's like,
oh there he is!
Big one. Big one!
WILL (off-screen): Guapo.
DALE: All right,
I'm out of gear.
WILL (off-screen): Don't
let it get slack, Dale.
DALE (off-screen): Yeah,
I won't. Got him on!
WILL (off-screen): Hell yeah.
WILL (off-screen): Oh,
there he is! Big one.
DALE (off-screen): Got him on.
WILL: Guapo.
DALE: All right,
I'm out of gear.
WILL: Don't let it
get slack, Dale.
DALE (off-screen):
Yeah, I won't.
WILL: Hell yeah.
Keep me going.
Keep me going.
DALE (off-screen): Forward?
WILL: Yeah.
WILL (off-screen): Right
now, we're focused on
one thing and that's
being the top boat.
Everything else is
like on the back burner.
DALE: Pull it out of gear?
WILL: Yeah.
Greg's got to take time
off but it's great for us
because he's not gonna
be fishing and we're
definitely gonna
take full advantage.
DALE: Did you get
a look at the fish?
WILL: Yeah it
was a good one.
DALE (off-screen): Yeah.
WILL (off-screen): Get
me going the other way.
Kind of spin me
around me you know?
DALE: Yeah I'm kind of
easing it around, Will.
I don't wanna get
any slack in that
line in the turn.
WILL (off-screen): Yeah. Yeah.
DALE: Believe it or not
it's not my first rodeo.
It's just my first one
without the makeup and
the barrel on.
WILL: Go forward, Dale.
You're good.
DALE: Got color.
WILL: Oh my God.
It's a short.
You're good.
You can take
it out of gear.
WILL (off-screen): Not
every fish is gonna be a
keeper and we wanna keep
these species healthy so
that we can keep fishing.
DALE: I got
thick skin, Will.
DALE (off-screen):
It's like an old shoe.
WILL: It is what it is you
know there's nothing to do
but let it go and, and
put them back out,
try and catch
a bigger one,
and stay ahead of Frenzy.
DALE: Things ain't quite
going in our favor but we
are getting a lot of
action and hopefully these
things will get bigger
as the day grows on.
DALE (off-screen): A lot of
times it happens down here.
The little ones show up,
the big ones show up right
behind them.
DALE (off-screen): So
we're hoping to get into
the right one here.
Come on fish.
BRITTON: We'll
miss tomorrow.
They'll probably bite
like mad dogs but always
thinking about baby girl.
It's unheard of for me
not to go fishing on a day
that is fishable.
But we're having a benefit
for my daughter tomorrow.
So it's not an
option for me.
AUSTIN: Fishing's
important but my sister,
you know, I'll miss a
day of fishing if I can
help her out.
Good food.
Shooting guns and
celebrating my sister.
I mean what more
can you ask for?
CAINE: Come on, baby girl.
BRITTON: Oh there we go.
Jig it boys.
We're marking
three fish here.
CHARLIE: Come on, Shack.
CHARLIE (off-screen):
Pulling for you today.
BRITTON (off-screen): No! No!
Golly dang what
in the world?
Is there a hook
in that thing?
CAINE: Oh yeah.
BRITTON: Oh my God.
BRITTON (off-screen):
There he is.
CAINE: Get on it!
Get on it!
BRITTON: Oh my Gosh he's
missed it three times.
CAINE: Come on.
There he is again.
Get on it.
BRITTON: There he goes, oh
my gosh. Four times.
CAINE: Get on it!
CAINE (off-screen): When you're
dragging through a school of
Blue fins and you're
watching four or five in
there at a time on
your baits and
there's no hook up.
That gets under your
skin a little bit.
BRITTON (off-screen):
What in the world.
Ah, God dang.
CAINE: That's why they call
it fishing not catching.
BRITTON: Gee, man.
Come on!
Come tight! Oh man.
I mean you watch it come
and then boom it comes
out, and then you almost
get him, boom it comes up.
AUSTIN: He wanted
it some kind of bad
though didn't he?
CAINE: Yeah.
BRITTON: Oh my
lands, man.
Ugh! Golly dang man.
TJ: Shack just had one
miss it five times.
I'm trying to put us right
position for a quick bite.
Oh (bleep) Bubba
she's throwing up.
Bubby! Bubby!
This (bleep) guy.
Michael. She's throwing up.
You don't see?
MIKE: What?
How am I supposed to know?
TJ: I'm yelling
your name here.
MIKE: I'm sleeping
with my eyes closed.
TJ (off-screen): Give me those
rags right there. Rags.
You okay, honey?
TIM: Here we are,
we're fishing.
I usually get down you
know three four trips a
year I try to get down
here a little more.
So if the fishing's good
obviously I'll come down
and I'll stay if the
fishing gets slow then I
head back home.
TIM (off-screen): For
me to come down here
and go fishing with TJ,
you know it's definitely
very nice you know to get
on Hot Tuna and go
offshore and fish for a
couple of days you know.
TIM (off-screen): But I've
got a lot of money
invested in this boat.
It's up to TJ to
put us on some fish,
that's what I
expect from him.
TIM (off-screen): Hopefully
we'll get a couple of fish in,
so it makes it a nicer,
a nice happy trip.
TJ (off-screen): Dad
is very excited to be
here spending quality
time with his children.
TJ (off-screen): We know that
dad's gonna be leaving soon.
And the longer we go
without getting a bite
with him on board, the
more I feel the pressure.
TJ (off-screen): We would
really like to catch one
before he takes
off for the season and to
prove to him that we make
a profit here in
the Outer Banks.
We're marking a few here.
Marked a couple here.
More like 32
and one at 25.
MIKE: Oh! Oh!
TIM (off-screen): Whoa!
We're on, we're on, we're on.
JARRETT: There she goes.
TIM: That's what
I'm talking about.
MIKE: Oh! Oh!
TIM: Whoa! We're on,
we're on, we're on.
JARRETT (off-screen):
There she goes.
TIM (off-screen): That's
what I'm talking about.
Flat line, I don't
know it don't look
like something big.
I think it was
a yellow fin.
MIKE: Mako. It's
not taking no line.
TIM (off-screen): That's what
I'm saying why don't we just
try to horse him in.
MIKE (off-screen): We're gonna.
Bring him.
TIM: Did you see him
come out of the water?
MIKE: Yeah.
TIM: Is it a Mako?
That's what it looked
like to me a little Mako.
Yeah, it's a Mako.
JARRETT (off-screen): Let
me see if I can unhook it.
TIM (off-screen): There we go.
TJ (off-screen): He's off?
TIM: But he's gone.
JARRETT (off-screen):
If TJ doesn't put us on
the meat this trip;
Big Tim's not gonna
be a happy camper.
TJ (off-screen): Any
time that I go out here
and I don't put fish
on board, I always feel
like I'm disappointing my
crew and my family.
TJ (off-screen): And if I'm not
doing that they're not getting a
paycheck it all
comes back to me.
So, right now, I need
to get us a bite.
TIM (off-screen): He's
a little Mako with a
sore mouth right now.
BRITTON: Time to
put it back on.
BRITTON (off-screen): It's
been a disappointing day
but the reality hit me.
As bad as my day is, my
daughter has had a lot of
bad days and tomorrow's
all about her,
it's not about me.
BRITTON (off-screen): Being
there to support my daughter,
to support my wife,
to support my boys
is what matters.
BRITTON: Hey, babe.
Either way, the cash is
laying at your bedside.
I dunno,
three or four hundred.
CAINE (off-screen): He's
on the phone with Audra,
who's at the
hospital with Ginger.
BRITTON: Do you have enough?
Okay, baby.
Thank you.
I love ya.
BRITTON (off-screen):
Rev, hey man.
I want you to pray
for my daughter.
RON: Okay. Yes sir.
BRITTON: You know,
she's got cancer.
RON: No.
That's the first I
heard that, buddy.
BRITTON: Yeah.
RON: Man.
BRITTON: Keep
her lifted up.
RON: Man.
CAINE: A lot of times it
takes a tragedy to realize
how special of a community
that you live in,
and in this particular
case it's unfathomable as
far as the amount
of love and support.
RON: What people
are going through.
BRITTON: Hey, he's got it.
RON:
Sure is, brother.
It's about love.
BRITTON (off-screen):
That's right.
CAINE: And it's
pretty damn special.
RON: All right.
Love you, brother.
BRITTON: Love you, Ronald.
BRITTON (off-screen):
All right. Y'all ready?
CAINE (off-screen): Yes sir.
BRITTON (off-screen):
Now let's get home.
DAVE (over radio): Yo,
you on there Tyler?
TYLER (over radio):
Yeah. Go ahead, Dave.
DAVE: How far
down are you?
TYLER:
Like six-forty on
the seventy-two.
CHARLIE:
About how far off there
are you, Pinwheel?
What's your two line?
Dammit that kid
just doesn't wanna
work with us.
CHARLIE (off-screen):
You know, if you're gonna
be out there and you're
gonna listen to
what we have to say,
then you need to be
able to chime in and
help us as well.
CHARLIE: I think TJ's
illegitimate son has got his
radio turned down again.
TJ: Oh God.
I ain't taking
responsibility for
that (bleep) litter.
There's nothing normal
about Tyler, we know that.
But right now I think he
needs to pick the radio up
and share some information
before he finds himself in
a bad situation.
CHARLIE: How much
does old man give you a year
to take care of his dumb ass?
TYLER: (Bleep) you, Griff.
TYLER (off-screen):
Griff's definitely got
it out for me, you know.
He knows I'm a threat.
I'm sure when he was a
young captain, you know,
he was a lot like me and
that's probably why he's
threatened by me.
CHARLIE: All right Jake,
Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake.
Tyler's a kid
and he's cocky.
He's extremely cocky and
maybe he'll outgrow that.
Most of us have.
Come on baby.
(Bleep) Jake, that
looks good buddy.
That's a major part of
his day is annoying people
because I mean, he does
it everywhere he goes.
Move to your left or right
one way or the other so I
could watch my squids.
Somebody's got
to whoop his ass.
CHARLIE (off-screen):
Yeah, there he is, there he is.
JAKE: There he is!
Got him on the stick, bud.
CHARLIE: Pow,
goes the breaker.
CHARLIE:
Tell 'em we've got one on!
JAKE (over radio): Got 'em on!
TYLER: Sucks when other
boats are catching fish
and you're not.
You know we're in the game
we're right here and you
just can't get a bite.
The last person I wanna
hear about getting a bite
right now is Griff.
DUFFY: Yeah, it's
frustrating hearing other
people get them though.
DUFFY (off-screen): We'll
get our chance here.
TYLER (off-screen): That guy's
been giving me nothing but
grief by telling the
fleet that I haven't been
reporting my bites.
And now he's hooked up.
You think he's gonna wave
me over and say 'come
get some of this?
No way.
DUFFY: Waiting
on the fish, man.
Waiting on the fish.
TYLER: Brutal.
Oh, nice marks,
man those are them.
That's them right
there all day.
DUFFY: We're ready man.
Now we're gonna get 'em.
I can feel it. Any minute.
We're on.
TYLER: We're on.
DUFFY: Yeah baby.
We're on, double.
TYLER: Come on, dude.
DUFFY (off-screen): Three.
TYLER: Three on, dude. Nice!
It's the mother lode.
TYLER (off-screen): Just
like that three rods go
off at the same time.
Feels like a good one.
TYLER (off-screen):
Let's see Griff do that.
I think if Griff tried to
reel one in on the rod he
might have a heart attack.
DUFFY: Yeah, baby.
CHARLIE (off-screen):
We got one on here.
Hopefully it'll
be a good one.
CHARLIE (off-screen):
It means a lot for us.
Oh, baby you.
Getting ready to
see some color.
Here it comes, Jake.
Hey, hey, hey.
Grab that thing let's see
what we got here let's see
what we're looking at.
CHARLIE (off-screen): What have
we got going on there, son?
JAKE: Nice fish man,
definitely gonna be
a legal fish.
JAKE (off-screen): Whatever he
is we'll be glad to have him.
TYLER (off-screen): Oh no!
TYLER: Chafed us off, dude.
TYLER (off-screen): Well
that leaves us with two
still on the line.
And that's one better
than whatever Griff's
battling over there.
DUFFY: Yeah, baby.
Let's get him T.
TYLER: We got to figure
out what we got on here.
DUFFY (off-screen): Just
come in tight again.
Let's see what
we got here.
TYLER (off-screen): Dammit, dog.
You're a (bleep)
Yellow fin.
DUFFY (off-screen): Yeah.
Oh man I think we
got some sharks dude,
he got him five feet
under the boat, man.
DUFFY (off-screen):
Look at that.
TYLER (off-screen):
Just pulled on deck,
got a Yellow Fin here.
Not what we're
looking for.
Screws us all up cost
us money and baits,
we got to get set back
out cause there's
Blue fin around.
TYLER (off-screen): All,
our whole spread just
got TKO'd right now.
We're like screwed.
JAKE: Come here.
Come on stick him.
Come on, bud, come on.
CHARLIE: Take the
boat out of gear.
Get the gaff!
Come on man.
Get him, get him Jake.

CHARLIE (off-screen):

CHARLIE (off-screen):

Oh no get it off.
Oh man. My hands are,

JAKE: Got him.

CHARLIE: Oh my gosh, man.
My hands are beat
up bad on that one.
JAKE: Got it?
JAKE (off-screen): It's
a nice fish there, bud.
CHARLIE: It's a good fish,
it's definitely gonna help
us out here, 85 inches.
CHARLIE (off-screen):
All right, man.
That's a fat one there
that's a good one.
TJ: How about the
Reels of Fortune?
CHARLIE: Wow!
TJ (over radio): How
about it Charlie? Did
you get one, Charlie?
CHARLIE (over radio):
Yeah, yeah, we caught one.
No, it's gonna be
a good one, man.
CHARLIE (off-screen):
Thing kicked our ass.
TYLER: What the (bleep)!
I'm sure Griff's gonna be
bragging and beating his
chest knowing that I
hooked some yellow fins
and he caught
himself a tuna.
TJ (over radio): All righty.
Get you another
one before dark.
CHARLIE (off-screen):
That's how we roll.
BRITTON: Today's event is
called Shooting For Shack.
It's a benefit for
my daughter that was
diagnosed with Hodgkin's
lymphoma back in November.
AJ: We wanted to put on
an event to help support
Ginger Shackelford.
AJ (off-screen): We're
here praying for her.
We're here to lift her
up and do what we can to
support her in
this tough time.
BRITTON (off-screen): It's a
very humbling experience to
think about AJ and
his group getting this
gathering together in
order to benefit my daughter.
BRITTON (off-screen): My
daughter was overwhelmed
when we drove up here.
It took her about 15
minutes to compose herself.
BRITTON (off-screen):
It's a broad swath of
people straight across
our life that, that
came out to this event.
For me to take a day off
on a beautiful day when
the rest of the
fleet is fishing;
it was a struggle for me.
And finally, it came to
me is like if it was on a
balance; what's
more important?
Is it, is it your daughter
and the friendship and the
fellowship that's
coming from that?
Or tunas?
And every tuna God ever
made pales in comparison
to the rest of it.
BRITTON (off-screen):
Even if everybody catches
three fish apiece today,
I still know that I'm in
the right place that I
made the right decision.
DALE (off-screen): Hey guys,
you're gonna have to yell at me
when you need stuff cause
I got to kind of keep my
eye on the sea.
DALE (off-screen): Don't turn
the hose on me, Will.
Doghouse, TJ, Tyler,
they're all having kind of
tough luck right now.
Frenzy's at home
nursing his elbow.
DALE (off-screen):
Sometimes that's when we
can really pull ahead
and take advantage.
When other people
are having bad luck,
things look good for us.
DALE (off-screen): There it is.
WILL: That's
the right one.
ED: Got him on. Got him on.
WILL: Got him on.
DALE: Yeah baby.
ED: Got another
tuna fish on here.
See what he is.
DALE: Might be a sleeper.
DALE (off-screen): He's
on it. Yellow fin?
WILL (off-screen): Yeah.
DALE: But we're
making money though.
These fish are sellable.
ED: Not a gaffing
situation.
DALE (off-screen): Even better.
Paying for fuel.
It's a nice fish.
ED (off-screen): They're
nice Yellow fin.
DALE (off-screen): Yeah man.
It's not the right
one but there's a
paycheck involved.
Can't complain about that.
WILL (off-screen):
Got another one.
DALE (off-screen):
That's a nice fish.
ED (off-screen): $30 bill.
WILL: Nice.
DALE: Getting a
couple bites here.
It ain't the right
one, but might be
something for dinner.
DALE (off-screen): I'd love to
hurt somebody's feelings with
a Blue fin though.
TJ (off-screen): The tide is
just brutal today you know
sweeping us up the line.
We just keep getting
swept away in the tide,
we'll never get back
down here where the
bites have been.
TIM:
Who's that? Griff and son?
TJ: Yeah. I just
wanna go down another
five numbers anyway.
TIM: Yeah.
TJ (off-screen): It's been
a quiet few days for us.
We didn't catch a thing.
TJ (off-screen): I'm
worried that my dad feels
that we can't get it done.
TIM: You put in that one?
I'll tell you what
just, all right.
TIM (off-screen): TJ makes
all the critical calls.
So, I'm probably harder on
him than probably anybody
else on the boat.
But I'm only doing it to
try and make him a better
fisherman and
hopefully put some
fish on the boat also.
Hey, TJ, put us
on some fish.
JARRETT (off-screen):
There it is!
TJ (off-screen): Stick bite.
TIM (off-screen): (Bleep) thing
hit like a freight train.
Got no hydraulics!
TJ (off-screen): They're
on! Just let him go.
TIM (off-screen): I
am letting him go.
TJ: Got him on, baby.
TIM: He hit hard and
charged down deep.
So rigger's down deep.
So right now I'm trying to
make a little bit of line
but he's taking more
than I've taken back so.
It's coming up now so.
There he is.
TJ: What's it a
yellow fin or.
TIM (off-screen): Nah,
that's a Blue fin.
TJ (off-screen): All
right. Carabiner.
So, hold the squid, dad.
TIM (off-screen): Get inside.
TJ: Hold the squid. Slide down.
MIKE: Get inside.
TIM: Watch it.
He's right up over here.
TJ (off-screen): Michael,
I can't see him.
MIKE: He's right here.
JARRETT: Looks like we
got a good one on here.
TIM: Keep coming up
now, so, there he is.
TJ: What's it a
yellow fin or.
TIM (off-screen): No,
that's a Blue fin.
TJ (off-screen): All
right. Carabiner.
So, hold the squid, dad.
TIM (off-screen): Get inside.
TJ: Hold the squid. Slide down.
MIKE: Get inside.
TIM: Watch it. He's
right up over here.
TJ (off-screen): Michael,
I can't see him.
MIKE: He's right here!
JARRETT: Looks like we
got a good one on here.
Come on, boys.
TJ: Got him.
TIM: Get the gaffs ready.
TJ: I got a gaff.
TIM (off-screen): Where is he?
MIKE: Right here.
JARRETT: There he is.
Got him, get a tail gaff.
MIKE: I got it. I got it.
JARRETT (off-screen):
Woo! There he is!
TIM (off-screen): Beautiful!
There he is, baby there he is.
JARRETT: Go over one...
TIM: Nice. Nice.
JARRETT: Yeah.
TIM: Very nice.
TJ: To catch this fish
with dad onboard makes it
that much sweeter.
TJ (off-screen): This
is redemption for us.
Got him, baby!
TIM: Awesome. Awesome.
JARRETT: Yeah ya!
Good girl, good girl.
TIM (off-screen):
Nice. Nice fish.
JARRETT (off-screen): We
done loaded them up again.
TJ (off-screen): Nice.
TIM (off-screen): Nice unit.
When I get onboard and I
see them working hard and
they're doing a good job
and we're catching fish.
It makes me feel good
and if makes feel good,
I'm sure it makes
them feel great.
JARRETT (off-screen): 76!
TIM (off-screen): 76!
JARRETT: Yeah! That's two!
TIM (off-screen): The Hot Tuna
gods are smiling. Pa-pow!
DENNIS (off-screen): Hey Griff,
what do you got for me today?
CHARLIE (off-screen): This is
definitely gonna be a good one.
DENNIS: All right
let's get it off and
get it processed.
CHARLIE (off-screen): Yes sir.
Well, it's been a long
tough few days but we've
been, we've been
babysitting Tyler,
trying to get
him squared away.
But, we got a
nice fish here.
CHARLIE (off-screen):
Yeah, he beat us up.
But, you know in the long
run it's, it's worth it.
I can't wait to
get beat up again.
295 on this one. Good.
Good they're
getting bigger.
That's good.
JAKE (off-screen): The tuna
buyer takes a, a tail cut
to look at the core.
Look at the fat
content and the color.
CHARLIE (off-screen):
Yeah, baby.
DENNIS: Pretty excited
about this fish.
It's got some nice fat.
CHARLIE (off-screen): Good.
DENNIS: You know,
I'm seeing some
nice grease here.
DENNIS (off-screen): It's
definitely your best fish
you've caught so far.
I think they'll be competing
for this one in Japan.
CHARLIE (off-screen): Good.
DENNIS: You know
maybe 7,000 Yen.
CHARLIE: What does
that, what does that
mean for us Americans?
DENNIS: $18 a pound.
CHARLIE: That's great man,
that's a paycheck for us.
Thank you man. Thanks.
DENNIS: Well done guys.
JAKE: $18 a pound you know 295.
That's a great fish
and we're stoked.
JAKE (off-screen): Things
are looking up from here.
We got the ball rolling
all we got to do is just
keep going from here.
CHARLIE: Pretty
work, Jake.
MAN: What's up, TJ?
TJ: Got a beautiful Outer
Bank Blue fin for you,
Brandon, you want it?
MAN: Absolutely.
TJ: All right,
man, let's do it.
We've got a keeper on
board and it looks like
it's good quality.
It's a great feeling.
TJ (off-screen): I don't
know what this fish does
to our standing
but after the last
few days we're just
happy to have one.
TIM (off-screen):
What you got, Bubba?
MAN: It's 220 pounds dressed.
MIKE: Nice.
TIM: Perfect nice little unit.
MIKE: Very nice.
TIM: What's it
looking like, Bubba?
TJ: Nice color.
MAN: It's actually got
a nice tail color to it.
TJ (off-screen): Good skin fat?
MAN: Got some
nice fat on it.
MAN (off-screen): See what
it looks like inside.
TJ (off-screen): That's
a nice core man.
TIM (off-screen): That's nice.
TJ (off-screen): For a
Carolina fish that's a
beautiful core, Bubba.
MAN (off-screen): That's a,
that's a beautiful core.
TJ: So what are you
thinking man, are you.
TIM: So give us a good
number here, Bubba.
MAN: $17 a pound.
TIM: Yeah, all right.
JARRETT: Nice.
TIM: All right, bubba.
MIKE: Thanks, bro.
TIM: Very nice.
TJ (off-screen): 3,700 bucks
is nothing to sneeze at.
I'm happy, the
crew's happy,
and most importantly
the old man's happy.
Head back out.
We'll be back all right.
TIM (off-screen):
They're my boys.
I'm, you know,
proud of them.
Even when I'm not there
and they call me up and
say, "Hey, pop we
caught one."
You know, it makes me proud.
You know it brings
tears to my eyes.
You know it hits you in
the heart sometimes it's a
great feeling.
TJ: Pa-pow, baby!
BRITTON: We can
see good enough.
You want to turn those big
lights off and go ahead
and put your stick out.
CAINE (off-screen): All right.
BRITTON (off-screen): We're
headed out this morning feeling
refreshed feeling
good after yesterday.
AUSTIN: Breeze makes
it cold out here.
AJ (off-screen): The
benefit turned out great.
I really thank people
that put it on, I mean,
they're a big help.
AJ (off-screen): But right now,
we know that we have to catch
fish to pay the bills.
BRITTON (off-screen):
Whoa, there they are,
boy, look at that.
Keep your eyes open now.
Come on boys we
need this one.
CAINE (off-screen):
Whoa! There he is, baby!
BRITTON (off-screen):
There he is. Woo!
CAINE: Yeah, got him on.
BRITTON (off-screen): Scared
the fool out of me, man.
I heard that thing go pow!
CAINE: Come to daddy.
Come on, baby, 75-incher.
BRITTON (off-screen):
Seeing anything?
AUSTIN: Color
there, ain't it?
AUSTIN (off-screen): I
think he's big enough.
BRITTON: If he's big
enough toss that dart in it.
BRITTON (off-screen):
Come on, girl.
CAINE (off-screen): It's coming
up. It's coming up, Austin.
Get him Austin! Get him boy!
BRITTON (off-screen): Come on
boy we need this one.
Throw the dart, throw it.
AUSTIN:
I can't see him.
BRITTON (off-screen):
Throw the dart.
Throw the dart!
CAINE (off-screen): Watch out.
Watch him.
BRITTON (off-screen): Throw it!
CAINE (off-screen): Get
him, get him, get him!
Pretty work. Pretty work.
Good dart. Good dart.
AUSTIN (off-screen): That fish
wasn't going down without a
fight he made us work for it.
But, hey, if we
got to work for it,
that's what
we're here for.
BRITTON (off-screen): Come on.
CAINE (off-screen): Yes.
He is fat too, boy.
BRITTON: Pretty work.
CAINE: Good job everybody.
83, baby.
BRITTON (off-screen):
I'll take it.
CAINE: Good
job, everybody.
Good job, Austin.
BRITTON: All right let's
get, let's get set up.
CAINE (off-screen): Any time you
catch a fish it gives you a
boost of confidence.
This fish really means
a lot to us you know.
So, it's gonna put us
in the right direction.
BRITTON (off-screen): She
wasn't no 100-incher
but she's plenty big.
CAINE (off-screen):
Let's get him on there.
Let's get everything set
back out and hopefully
go for number two.
BRITTON: Welcome aboard.
CHARLIE: Pretty
work, Shack. Yay!
BRITTON:
Here's to the 840.
On line for the 610.
CHARLIE (off-screen): I've
known Britton for quite a while
and unlike some people
he's a team player,
and I'm glad to see that
his luck's turned around.
CAINE: We're on.
We're on, Britt!
CAINE (off-screen):
We're on. We're on!
BRITTON: What do you
mean another one?
CAINE: Got him on!
CAINE: We're on.
We're on, Britt.
We're on. We're on.
BRITTON: What do you
mean, another one?
CAINE (off-screen): Got him on!
BRITTON: Come on. Come on,
come one, you got to
hustle, hustle, hustle.
CAINE (off-screen): We
definitely need this fish.
We had to take
yesterday off.
Other boats caught;
we need to catch up.
CAINE (off-screen):
Second bite of the day.
I'm not gonna say
second fish yet.
It is our second bite.
CAINE (off-screen): Man, it'd
be lovely if this is a keeper.
BRITTON: Just gotten
the baits clipped in and
pinned and I turned around
and heard we got him on!
CAINE: Putting her
to work this morning.
Come on big girl, 74 is all I
want, 74 inches that's it.
Hell, I'll take 73.
This should be the
real deal Holyfield.
CAINE (off-screen):
Hurts my buttocks.
This is the ultimate
man versus beast.
BRITTON (off-screen): Golly
dang man! Go, Caine.
Come on boys we
need this one.
CAINE (off-screen): It's
wearing me out, boy.
BRITTON (off-screen): Come on.
CAINE: I see color!
CAINE (off-screen): So
close yet so far away.
It's gonna be a keeper.
CAINE (off-screen): Got
some fight in her still.
Come on, girl we need you.
Woo! Nice fish.
Come on baby girl.
Come on, baby girl.
BRITTON (off-screen): There's
a shot. There's a shot!
CAINE (off-screen): All
right there he is, there he is.
Hit him with a dart.
Hit him with a dart.
Hit him?
AUSTIN: Yeah.
CAINE (off-screen): We
got him. Hot damn boy!
AUSTIN (off-screen): That's
what I'm talking about.
BRITTON (off-screen): Try to get
a gaff in her, hold her tight.
CAINE (off-screen): Got her?
BRITTON (off-screen): Got her.
CAINE (off-screen):
One two three.
Good job everybody, 84!
BRITTON: Pretty work.
Number two, baby!
Thank you Lord.
Go ahead and get your
bandit back out and tell
me when you're ready.
BRITTON (off-screen): Following
what we did yesterday,
it's not coincidence to
me that we got a bite
almost immediately.
That's not lost on me.
That's, that's one of those
moments in life that you,
you know that's
a God thing.
BRITTON (off-screen): It
just hammered home to me;
that you leave it up to
me and I'll handle it.
BRITTON (off-screen): God
has a plan for everything.
I see Bubba's back.
How ya doing?
MAN: What do you got?
You got a couple today?
BRITTON: Yeah,
we got a couple.
One and one.
MAN: Good.
CAINE (off-screen):
Ready for him?
MAN: All right
let's do it.
BRITTON (off-screen): Last
couple days we've experienced a
whole gamut of emotions from
frustrated to very humble
to extremely excited.
BRITTON (off-screen): A
lot of emotion running
through me right now.
What do you got, Bubba?
MAN (off-screen): 260 pounds.
BRITTON: Sweet.
MAN: All right, let's
see what else you got.
AUSTIN (off-screen): I bet that
one weighs a little bit more.
BRITTON (off-screen):
Don't think so.
What is it, Bubba?
MAN (off-screen):
You got 293 pounds.
BRITTON: Told you 293.
MAN: Is that
what you said?
AUSTIN: No. That's
not what he said.
MAN (off-screen): Oh,
oh, he's right anyway.
AUSTIN: He's the captain
he's always right, right?
BRITTON (off-screen): All
right, we'll come up there
and check it out, Lucas.
MAN: Let's see
what it looks like.
Well you got
nice tail color.
MAN (off-screen): Nice and oily.
It's got fat on
it as you can see.
Let's see the core.
CAINE (off-screen): Here we go.
MAN (off-screen): It's a
nice color real oily too.
Core's perfect.
CAINE (off-screen):
What do you think?
MAN (off-screen):
Really nice tail color.
Really nice inside color.
Good amount of fat
in it, $19 a pound.
BRITTON: I'll take it.
CAINE (off-screen): Day's work.
BRITTON (off-screen): Take it.
MAN (off-screen): All
right. Let's check out
that second fish.
Real nice. No
burn in the core.
MAN (off-screen): I mean you got
nice oil here just the right
amount of fat.
The color's right on.
BRITTON: Moment of truth!
CAINE: Yes sir.
BRITTON (off-screen):
High hopes.
MAN (off-screen): Say
24 bucks a pound.
BRITTON: Pretty
work, buddy.
CAINE: This is the
best trip, you know,
as far as on the Doghouse
thus far this year.
BRITTON: Bubba,
thank you. Lucas.
LUCAS: Britton.
BRITTON: Thank you.
CAINE: It's gonna just put
us on the right track and
we're just gonna
keep on chucking on.
LUCAS: Catching
up to Greg?
BRITTON: The
tension is palpable.
LUCAS: Oh, nice word.
NARRATOR: With Fishin'
Frenzy off the water,
Foolish Pleasures have
easily held on to the top
spot despite not catching.
Meanwhile Doghouse's
doubly good fortune pushes
them ahead of Hot Tuna.
And Reels Of Fortune's
five grand catch inches
them ahead of their
rival Pinwheel.
TYLER (off-screen): I just want
to completely forget this
week; this was a total
like waste of time.
It was terrible.
CHARLIE (off-screen): Tyler's
just trying to be better than
everyone else and, and
he's going about it the
wrong way.
You know you can be a better
fisherman without being sneaky,
without holding,
withholding information.
It's one thing to have fun
but it's another to be an
obnoxious little
freaking arrogant punk.
TYLER: I definitely feel
like an outsider down here
on the Outer Banks and I
don't always see eye to
eye with everyone else.
CHARLIE (off-screen): I
got faith that one day
he'll get it, you know?
I was a pain in the butt
too when I was 20 years old.
Captioned by
Cotter Captioning Services.
of Wicked Tuna Outer Banks.
WILL (off-screen):
Oh there he is!
DALE (off-screen): Got him on!
CHARLIE: Get him, Jake.
Gaff him!
NARRATOR: One captain
has never had a more
compelling reason.
BRITTON: My daughter,
very overwhelming.
NARRATOR: To bring
home a blue fin.
BRITTON (off-screen):
There's a shot!
Come on boy, we
need this one.
NARRATOR: While an
upstart Northerner.
TYLER (off-screen): I'm not
trying to help other people
catch fish out here.
NARRATOR: Stirs up a
Southern gentleman.
CHARLIE (over radio): And if
you're gonna come here and fish
with us you're
gonna play that way.
NARRATOR: And the reigning
champion hits his lowest
point of the season.
GREG: I'm not gonna be
doing anything for at
least a week.
GREG (off-screen): I hope
these fish don't show up.
NARRATOR: While his
rival rides high.
ED: I'm on!
WILL (off-screen):
That's the right one!
ED: Got him on.
WILL (off-screen): Yeah baby!
NARRATOR: This is
Wicked Tuna Outer Banks.
For the first
time this season,
reigning champion
Fishin' Frenzy is
not in the top spot.
With newcomers Foolish
Pleasures now leading the
fleet, meanwhile, Northern
boats Hot Tuna and
Pinwheel have clawed
their way past Southerners
Doghouse and
Reels Of Fortune.
AUSTIN: Has anybody
caught one yet?
No.
CAINE: What is that thing
tomorrow? Like a big picnic and
skeet shoot type deal?
AUSTIN: Yeah.
BRITTON (off-screen): Really,
really praying for a bite today
because we're not gonna
be fishing tomorrow.
My daughter, Ginger
was diagnosed with
Hodgkin's Lymphoma
and she's going
through chemo right now
while we're fishing.
BRITTON (off-screen): A
Christian outdoor
ministry group is hosting
a major benefit for my
daughter and it's gonna be
a skeet shooting
competition.
And everything that she's
gotten is overwhelming,
very overwhelming.
BRITTON (off-screen):
Although I'm not gonna be
thinking about fishing,
tomorrow's gonna be a lot
easier for me not fishing
if we go out
here and catch.
CHARLIE (over radio):
What time is your
function tomorrow, Shack?
BRITTON: I'm thinking
it starts at ten.
CHARLIE: What exactly
are they doing tomorrow?
BRITTON: It's a skeet
shooting tournament.
BRITTON (over radio):
People have gotten teams
together and they have
prizes and all
kinds of stuff.
CHARLIE:
Goddag, I wish we weren't
gonna be in the ocean.
BRITTON: Yeah, it'd
be fun wouldn't it?
CHARLIE: Yeah,
it'd be a hoot man.
CHARLIE (off-screen): I'm
sure Britton would rather
be home and, and be with
his daughter through
this tough time,
but if that were Jake
laying there going through
chemo I, I don't think
I'd be able to work.
I mean it's got
to be terrible,
terrible hard on him.
BRITTON (off-screen):
Oh, there we go.
Oh, oh.
CAINE: Whoa! Got him on!
Got him on, son! Got him on.
Coming to you
live, big sexy.
Come on, Mr. Fishy.
Shake like you mean it.
Spunky little bastard.
BRITTON: I don't
know, Caine.
CAINE: I can't. I ain't had
a good chance to see it.
Got some color down there.
Forward, forward.
I don't see it.
BRITTON: Pull him up.
CAINE: Get your, get
your measuring stick.
I'm stuck.
BRITTON: Dang it!
CAINE: Short.
BRITTON: Goddang, man.
CAINE: Too small. You'll
live another day buddy.
See you next year.
See him take off?
BRITTON: Yeah.
Another squeaker.
Very disappointing.
BRITTON (off-screen):
It wasn't meant to be.
But, I have a calm
assurance that my God is
going to give
me what I need.
CAINE: Caught us
another short.
But that's a good
sign you know,
set her out
and get her in.
TYLER (off-screen): Getting
ready to go fishing.
Excited to be here.
Gonna put some
ballyhoos out see if
we can't get lucky.
TYLER (off-screen): At
this point in time I'm
definitely getting a
little discouraged
that we've only
caught one fish.
We need a morale booster
big time because we just
can't catch a break.
What do you think of those
marks? Nice mark there.
DUFFY: Got him out.
DUFFY (off-screen): I
have confidence that
we're gonna find them.
Let's go, baby.
Even though we've
only got one fish,
keep getting big
fish like that.
It's gonna go a long way.
TYLER: Big tuna.
TYLER (off-screen): Nice
marks at 30 fathoms.
DAVE (over radio): Hey
are you on there, Tyler?
TYLER (over radio): Yeah,
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
What up over there?
DAVE (over radio): We need
to get on some meat here.
DUFFY (off-screen): We're on.
TYLER: Oh we got 'em on.
DAVE (over radio): All
right man good luck.
DUFFY: Yeah baby.
TYLER: Airing it out.
Real deal.
Where's the other rigger?
CHARLIE:
Tyler did you hook a fish?
Did you hook one?
CHARLIE: Do you have any bites
or anything there, Taylor?
Tyler?
Pinhead?
TYLER: Oh. Shut up!
CHARLIE:
Are you gonna tell us about
the bites, or what, man?
TYLER: What a chump.
TYLER (off-screen): It's
really no one's business
if I'm hooked up
fighting fish.
I didn't sign a contract
that says as soon as you
hook up to a tuna when
fishing off the Outer Banks
you must
radio in your catch.
No, stay the hell away.
I wanna catch this fish
and hook another before
another boat finds me.
I don't know what
we got on here.
Treating it like
it's a fish.
I saw it up on top.
Nice run off the bite
seems like a bigger fish
but I don't know.
At this point in the game
we got to treat everything
like it's a real thing.
TYLER (off-screen):
Color. Oh no.
Not even the
right species.
A little Mako.
Lost a hook, lost a bait,
wasting resources out here.
DUFFY (off-screen):
Nothing exciting.
DAVE (over radio): Hey Tyler,
did you land that fish?
TYLER (over radio):
I had a shark.
A shark.
CHARLIE: All's we ask
is that you report what,
you know, if
you get a bite.
CHARLIE (over radio): It's
the way it's always been
and if you're gonna
come here and
fish with us,
you're gonna
play that way.
CHARLIE (off-screen): I want to
know when he a gets a bite,
so that people that are in
the area where he is might
go over there and
capitalize on it and also
get a bite and I don't
think that he fully
understands that.
It's one for all and
all for me with him.
TYLER (off-screen):
I'm not trying to help
other people catch
fish out here.
That's a Southern
boy thing.
He's like the
radio police.
"You didn't radio
in your bite;
oh that's not how we operate
down here in the Outer Banks."
Screw you, man.
TYLER (off-screen): Stop
worrying about what
everyone else is doing and
start worrying about
catching your own fish.
JAKE (off-screen): If
that's what he wants to be,
if that's the person he
wants to be that's fine
'cause it's all gonna
catch up with him.
He's gonna look around
one day and he ain't gonna
have no friends, he's
gonna wonder what happened.
CHARLIE: That's what
aggravates us about you.
That's one of
the things but.
TYLER (over radio):
Yeah, a lot of things
aggravate me too.
DAVE: They definitely
have a unique way of doing
things down here and if
Tyler keeps playing these
little games, sooner or
later he's probably gonna
piss off the wrong person.
CHARLIE (off-screen):
He's cocky.
Somebody's got
to whoop his ass.
GREG (off-screen): Come in.
NICK: Hey, cap.
GREG: Oh, isn't that sweet
you got me my own little
care bear.
BILLON (off-screen):
We thought you would,
we thought
you'd like that.
GREG (off-screen): You
guys are so sweet.
BILLON: A little
friend that'll make
you feel better.
GREG (off-screen): I
got something going
on with my elbow.
It keeps swelling
up on me.
It's Bursitis.
So, I made the decision
to go ahead and have the
surgery, get it done.
GREG (off-screen): I'm
hoping I can get out
of this pretty quick.
I'm not gonna be
doing anything for
at least a week.
GREG (off-screen): I hope
these fish don't show up.
BILLON (off-screen): Wow,
your hand looks, uh.
GREG (off-screen): I look
like a Smurf don't I?
NICK: That looks,
that looks terrible.
GREG: I got to go back in
there tomorrow and get it
checked out,
see what it is.
The worst timing possible.
GREG (off-screen):
To take a week off in
the middle of the season.
It can cost me tens of
thousands of dollars.
NICK: So when do you think
we're gonna make it out?
How you feeling, I mean.
GREG: Obviously I can't do
anything here for a week.
GREG (off-screen): I can't
climb up on a bridge like this.
NICK (off-screen): No.
GREG: It wouldn't help
either one of us out.
NICK: No. It just
ain't worth it.
BILLON (off-screen): No, don't.
GREG: We've
already got one,
one-armed captain in the fleet I
don't think we need another one.
BILLON (off-screen): No.
NICK (off-screen): No sir.
GREG: I don't know
how it's gonna affect
me down the road.
I could end up like Dale.
NICK: If, you
know, get better.
GREG (off-screen): Oh, yeah.
NICK: And don't try to
do anything you ain't
supposed to be doing.
I mean, if you need anything
you know dinner or, or.
GREG (off-screen): Alright.
NICK: Just somebody come
in here and change your
bandage I mean we'll
definitely help you out.
BILLON (off-screen): Whatever
you need just let us know.
GREG: Nick is so
compassionate, isn't he?
BILLON: The timing of this
could not suck anymore.
BILLON (off-screen): Somehow
we're behind the Foolish
Pleasures right now.
GREG (off-screen): Good luck.
BILLON (off-screen): But it is
what it is and we're gonna have
to make the best of it.
We got to have our
captain in tip-top shape.
GREG (off-screen):
My guys are really
looking out for me.
WILL (off-screen):
Come on 600-pounder
air out on the stick.
DALE: Like to see those
babies raining out of the
sky right now.
WILL: I've seen
it out here, man,
it's (bleep) wild too.
DALE (off-screen):
Nothing feels better than
being on top of the
fleet right now.
I knew we could do it.
I didn't know that it was
gonna happen this quick
and I'm overjoyed to be
where we are right now.
DALE (off-screen): We
got a mark right here.
Greg needs to take a day
off to nurse his poor
little sore elbow and
having Greg off the water
is obviously a
great thing for us.
If my elbow was bad I'd
have them do the operation
on the boat while
I was fishing.
WILL: I seen, I remember
one night the sun was
going down, everybody
fished all day and nobody
found (bleep) and we all
got up here right as the
sun was going down and
all you saw was just.
DALE: White water?
WILL: Giant explosions.
And then the stick's like,
oh there he is!
Big one. Big one!
WILL (off-screen): Guapo.
DALE: All right,
I'm out of gear.
WILL (off-screen): Don't
let it get slack, Dale.
DALE (off-screen): Yeah,
I won't. Got him on!
WILL (off-screen): Hell yeah.
WILL (off-screen): Oh,
there he is! Big one.
DALE (off-screen): Got him on.
WILL: Guapo.
DALE: All right,
I'm out of gear.
WILL: Don't let it
get slack, Dale.
DALE (off-screen):
Yeah, I won't.
WILL: Hell yeah.
Keep me going.
Keep me going.
DALE (off-screen): Forward?
WILL: Yeah.
WILL (off-screen): Right
now, we're focused on
one thing and that's
being the top boat.
Everything else is
like on the back burner.
DALE: Pull it out of gear?
WILL: Yeah.
Greg's got to take time
off but it's great for us
because he's not gonna
be fishing and we're
definitely gonna
take full advantage.
DALE: Did you get
a look at the fish?
WILL: Yeah it
was a good one.
DALE (off-screen): Yeah.
WILL (off-screen): Get
me going the other way.
Kind of spin me
around me you know?
DALE: Yeah I'm kind of
easing it around, Will.
I don't wanna get
any slack in that
line in the turn.
WILL (off-screen): Yeah. Yeah.
DALE: Believe it or not
it's not my first rodeo.
It's just my first one
without the makeup and
the barrel on.
WILL: Go forward, Dale.
You're good.
DALE: Got color.
WILL: Oh my God.
It's a short.
You're good.
You can take
it out of gear.
WILL (off-screen): Not
every fish is gonna be a
keeper and we wanna keep
these species healthy so
that we can keep fishing.
DALE: I got
thick skin, Will.
DALE (off-screen):
It's like an old shoe.
WILL: It is what it is you
know there's nothing to do
but let it go and, and
put them back out,
try and catch
a bigger one,
and stay ahead of Frenzy.
DALE: Things ain't quite
going in our favor but we
are getting a lot of
action and hopefully these
things will get bigger
as the day grows on.
DALE (off-screen): A lot of
times it happens down here.
The little ones show up,
the big ones show up right
behind them.
DALE (off-screen): So
we're hoping to get into
the right one here.
Come on fish.
BRITTON: We'll
miss tomorrow.
They'll probably bite
like mad dogs but always
thinking about baby girl.
It's unheard of for me
not to go fishing on a day
that is fishable.
But we're having a benefit
for my daughter tomorrow.
So it's not an
option for me.
AUSTIN: Fishing's
important but my sister,
you know, I'll miss a
day of fishing if I can
help her out.
Good food.
Shooting guns and
celebrating my sister.
I mean what more
can you ask for?
CAINE: Come on, baby girl.
BRITTON: Oh there we go.
Jig it boys.
We're marking
three fish here.
CHARLIE: Come on, Shack.
CHARLIE (off-screen):
Pulling for you today.
BRITTON (off-screen): No! No!
Golly dang what
in the world?
Is there a hook
in that thing?
CAINE: Oh yeah.
BRITTON: Oh my God.
BRITTON (off-screen):
There he is.
CAINE: Get on it!
Get on it!
BRITTON: Oh my Gosh he's
missed it three times.
CAINE: Come on.
There he is again.
Get on it.
BRITTON: There he goes, oh
my gosh. Four times.
CAINE: Get on it!
CAINE (off-screen): When you're
dragging through a school of
Blue fins and you're
watching four or five in
there at a time on
your baits and
there's no hook up.
That gets under your
skin a little bit.
BRITTON (off-screen):
What in the world.
Ah, God dang.
CAINE: That's why they call
it fishing not catching.
BRITTON: Gee, man.
Come on!
Come tight! Oh man.
I mean you watch it come
and then boom it comes
out, and then you almost
get him, boom it comes up.
AUSTIN: He wanted
it some kind of bad
though didn't he?
CAINE: Yeah.
BRITTON: Oh my
lands, man.
Ugh! Golly dang man.
TJ: Shack just had one
miss it five times.
I'm trying to put us right
position for a quick bite.
Oh (bleep) Bubba
she's throwing up.
Bubby! Bubby!
This (bleep) guy.
Michael. She's throwing up.
You don't see?
MIKE: What?
How am I supposed to know?
TJ: I'm yelling
your name here.
MIKE: I'm sleeping
with my eyes closed.
TJ (off-screen): Give me those
rags right there. Rags.
You okay, honey?
TIM: Here we are,
we're fishing.
I usually get down you
know three four trips a
year I try to get down
here a little more.
So if the fishing's good
obviously I'll come down
and I'll stay if the
fishing gets slow then I
head back home.
TIM (off-screen): For
me to come down here
and go fishing with TJ,
you know it's definitely
very nice you know to get
on Hot Tuna and go
offshore and fish for a
couple of days you know.
TIM (off-screen): But I've
got a lot of money
invested in this boat.
It's up to TJ to
put us on some fish,
that's what I
expect from him.
TIM (off-screen): Hopefully
we'll get a couple of fish in,
so it makes it a nicer,
a nice happy trip.
TJ (off-screen): Dad
is very excited to be
here spending quality
time with his children.
TJ (off-screen): We know that
dad's gonna be leaving soon.
And the longer we go
without getting a bite
with him on board, the
more I feel the pressure.
TJ (off-screen): We would
really like to catch one
before he takes
off for the season and to
prove to him that we make
a profit here in
the Outer Banks.
We're marking a few here.
Marked a couple here.
More like 32
and one at 25.
MIKE: Oh! Oh!
TIM (off-screen): Whoa!
We're on, we're on, we're on.
JARRETT: There she goes.
TIM: That's what
I'm talking about.
MIKE: Oh! Oh!
TIM: Whoa! We're on,
we're on, we're on.
JARRETT (off-screen):
There she goes.
TIM (off-screen): That's
what I'm talking about.
Flat line, I don't
know it don't look
like something big.
I think it was
a yellow fin.
MIKE: Mako. It's
not taking no line.
TIM (off-screen): That's what
I'm saying why don't we just
try to horse him in.
MIKE (off-screen): We're gonna.
Bring him.
TIM: Did you see him
come out of the water?
MIKE: Yeah.
TIM: Is it a Mako?
That's what it looked
like to me a little Mako.
Yeah, it's a Mako.
JARRETT (off-screen): Let
me see if I can unhook it.
TIM (off-screen): There we go.
TJ (off-screen): He's off?
TIM: But he's gone.
JARRETT (off-screen):
If TJ doesn't put us on
the meat this trip;
Big Tim's not gonna
be a happy camper.
TJ (off-screen): Any
time that I go out here
and I don't put fish
on board, I always feel
like I'm disappointing my
crew and my family.
TJ (off-screen): And if I'm not
doing that they're not getting a
paycheck it all
comes back to me.
So, right now, I need
to get us a bite.
TIM (off-screen): He's
a little Mako with a
sore mouth right now.
BRITTON: Time to
put it back on.
BRITTON (off-screen): It's
been a disappointing day
but the reality hit me.
As bad as my day is, my
daughter has had a lot of
bad days and tomorrow's
all about her,
it's not about me.
BRITTON (off-screen): Being
there to support my daughter,
to support my wife,
to support my boys
is what matters.
BRITTON: Hey, babe.
Either way, the cash is
laying at your bedside.
I dunno,
three or four hundred.
CAINE (off-screen): He's
on the phone with Audra,
who's at the
hospital with Ginger.
BRITTON: Do you have enough?
Okay, baby.
Thank you.
I love ya.
BRITTON (off-screen):
Rev, hey man.
I want you to pray
for my daughter.
RON: Okay. Yes sir.
BRITTON: You know,
she's got cancer.
RON: No.
That's the first I
heard that, buddy.
BRITTON: Yeah.
RON: Man.
BRITTON: Keep
her lifted up.
RON: Man.
CAINE: A lot of times it
takes a tragedy to realize
how special of a community
that you live in,
and in this particular
case it's unfathomable as
far as the amount
of love and support.
RON: What people
are going through.
BRITTON: Hey, he's got it.
RON:
Sure is, brother.
It's about love.
BRITTON (off-screen):
That's right.
CAINE: And it's
pretty damn special.
RON: All right.
Love you, brother.
BRITTON: Love you, Ronald.
BRITTON (off-screen):
All right. Y'all ready?
CAINE (off-screen): Yes sir.
BRITTON (off-screen):
Now let's get home.
DAVE (over radio): Yo,
you on there Tyler?
TYLER (over radio):
Yeah. Go ahead, Dave.
DAVE: How far
down are you?
TYLER:
Like six-forty on
the seventy-two.
CHARLIE:
About how far off there
are you, Pinwheel?
What's your two line?
Dammit that kid
just doesn't wanna
work with us.
CHARLIE (off-screen):
You know, if you're gonna
be out there and you're
gonna listen to
what we have to say,
then you need to be
able to chime in and
help us as well.
CHARLIE: I think TJ's
illegitimate son has got his
radio turned down again.
TJ: Oh God.
I ain't taking
responsibility for
that (bleep) litter.
There's nothing normal
about Tyler, we know that.
But right now I think he
needs to pick the radio up
and share some information
before he finds himself in
a bad situation.
CHARLIE: How much
does old man give you a year
to take care of his dumb ass?
TYLER: (Bleep) you, Griff.
TYLER (off-screen):
Griff's definitely got
it out for me, you know.
He knows I'm a threat.
I'm sure when he was a
young captain, you know,
he was a lot like me and
that's probably why he's
threatened by me.
CHARLIE: All right Jake,
Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake.
Tyler's a kid
and he's cocky.
He's extremely cocky and
maybe he'll outgrow that.
Most of us have.
Come on baby.
(Bleep) Jake, that
looks good buddy.
That's a major part of
his day is annoying people
because I mean, he does
it everywhere he goes.
Move to your left or right
one way or the other so I
could watch my squids.
Somebody's got
to whoop his ass.
CHARLIE (off-screen):
Yeah, there he is, there he is.
JAKE: There he is!
Got him on the stick, bud.
CHARLIE: Pow,
goes the breaker.
CHARLIE:
Tell 'em we've got one on!
JAKE (over radio): Got 'em on!
TYLER: Sucks when other
boats are catching fish
and you're not.
You know we're in the game
we're right here and you
just can't get a bite.
The last person I wanna
hear about getting a bite
right now is Griff.
DUFFY: Yeah, it's
frustrating hearing other
people get them though.
DUFFY (off-screen): We'll
get our chance here.
TYLER (off-screen): That guy's
been giving me nothing but
grief by telling the
fleet that I haven't been
reporting my bites.
And now he's hooked up.
You think he's gonna wave
me over and say 'come
get some of this?
No way.
DUFFY: Waiting
on the fish, man.
Waiting on the fish.
TYLER: Brutal.
Oh, nice marks,
man those are them.
That's them right
there all day.
DUFFY: We're ready man.
Now we're gonna get 'em.
I can feel it. Any minute.
We're on.
TYLER: We're on.
DUFFY: Yeah baby.
We're on, double.
TYLER: Come on, dude.
DUFFY (off-screen): Three.
TYLER: Three on, dude. Nice!
It's the mother lode.
TYLER (off-screen): Just
like that three rods go
off at the same time.
Feels like a good one.
TYLER (off-screen):
Let's see Griff do that.
I think if Griff tried to
reel one in on the rod he
might have a heart attack.
DUFFY: Yeah, baby.
CHARLIE (off-screen):
We got one on here.
Hopefully it'll
be a good one.
CHARLIE (off-screen):
It means a lot for us.
Oh, baby you.
Getting ready to
see some color.
Here it comes, Jake.
Hey, hey, hey.
Grab that thing let's see
what we got here let's see
what we're looking at.
CHARLIE (off-screen): What have
we got going on there, son?
JAKE: Nice fish man,
definitely gonna be
a legal fish.
JAKE (off-screen): Whatever he
is we'll be glad to have him.
TYLER (off-screen): Oh no!
TYLER: Chafed us off, dude.
TYLER (off-screen): Well
that leaves us with two
still on the line.
And that's one better
than whatever Griff's
battling over there.
DUFFY: Yeah, baby.
Let's get him T.
TYLER: We got to figure
out what we got on here.
DUFFY (off-screen): Just
come in tight again.
Let's see what
we got here.
TYLER (off-screen): Dammit, dog.
You're a (bleep)
Yellow fin.
DUFFY (off-screen): Yeah.
Oh man I think we
got some sharks dude,
he got him five feet
under the boat, man.
DUFFY (off-screen):
Look at that.
TYLER (off-screen):
Just pulled on deck,
got a Yellow Fin here.
Not what we're
looking for.
Screws us all up cost
us money and baits,
we got to get set back
out cause there's
Blue fin around.
TYLER (off-screen): All,
our whole spread just
got TKO'd right now.
We're like screwed.
JAKE: Come here.
Come on stick him.
Come on, bud, come on.
CHARLIE: Take the
boat out of gear.
Get the gaff!
Come on man.
Get him, get him Jake.
Gaff him!
CHARLIE (off-screen):
I got it. I got it.
I got it, hold on now.
God dang.
Hurry son.
Oh hurry, he's killing
my hands there buddy.
Oh no get it off. Oh man.
JAKE: Come here.
Come on, stick him.
Come on, bud, come on.
CHARLIE: Take the
boat out of gear.
Get the gaff come on man.
Get him, get him, Jake.
Gaff him!
CHARLIE (off-screen):
I got it. I got it.
I got it hold on now.
God dang. Hurry son.
Oh hurry he's killing
my hands there buddy.
Oh no get it off.
Oh man. My hands are,
are killing me.
Where's your rope can
you get the rope on?
I got it! I got it!
Come on, man, grab
the, grab the rope.
JAKE: Got him.
Got his ass
right there, bud.
CHARLIE: Oh my gosh, man.
My hands are beat
up bad on that one.
JAKE: Got it?
JAKE (off-screen): It's
a nice fish there, bud.
CHARLIE: It's a good fish,
it's definitely gonna help
us out here, 85 inches.
CHARLIE (off-screen):
All right, man.
That's a fat one there
that's a good one.
TJ: How about the
Reels of Fortune?
CHARLIE: Wow!
TJ (over radio): How
about it Charlie? Did
you get one, Charlie?
CHARLIE (over radio):
Yeah, yeah, we caught one.
No, it's gonna be
a good one, man.
CHARLIE (off-screen):
Thing kicked our ass.
TYLER: What the (bleep)!
I'm sure Griff's gonna be
bragging and beating his
chest knowing that I
hooked some yellow fins
and he caught
himself a tuna.
TJ (over radio): All righty.
Get you another
one before dark.
CHARLIE (off-screen):
That's how we roll.
BRITTON: Today's event is
called Shooting For Shack.
It's a benefit for
my daughter that was
diagnosed with Hodgkin's
lymphoma back in November.
AJ: We wanted to put on
an event to help support
Ginger Shackelford.
AJ (off-screen): We're
here praying for her.
We're here to lift her
up and do what we can to
support her in
this tough time.
BRITTON (off-screen): It's a
very humbling experience to
think about AJ and
his group getting this
gathering together in
order to benefit my daughter.
BRITTON (off-screen): My
daughter was overwhelmed
when we drove up here.
It took her about 15
minutes to compose herself.
BRITTON (off-screen):
It's a broad swath of
people straight across
our life that, that
came out to this event.
For me to take a day off
on a beautiful day when
the rest of the
fleet is fishing;
it was a struggle for me.
And finally, it came to
me is like if it was on a
balance; what's
more important?
Is it, is it your daughter
and the friendship and the
fellowship that's
coming from that?
Or tunas?
And every tuna God ever
made pales in comparison
to the rest of it.
BRITTON (off-screen):
Even if everybody catches
three fish apiece today,
I still know that I'm in
the right place that I
made the right decision.
DALE (off-screen): Hey guys,
you're gonna have to yell at me
when you need stuff cause
I got to kind of keep my
eye on the sea.
DALE (off-screen): Don't turn
the hose on me, Will.
Doghouse, TJ, Tyler,
they're all having kind of
tough luck right now.
Frenzy's at home
nursing his elbow.
DALE (off-screen):
Sometimes that's when we
can really pull ahead
and take advantage.
When other people
are having bad luck,
things look good for us.
DALE (off-screen): There it is.
WILL: That's
the right one.
ED: Got him on. Got him on.
WILL: Got him on.
DALE: Yeah baby.
ED: Got another
tuna fish on here.
See what he is.
DALE: Might be a sleeper.
DALE (off-screen): He's
on it. Yellow fin?
WILL (off-screen): Yeah.
DALE: But we're
making money though.
These fish are sellable.
ED: Not a gaffing
situation.
DALE (off-screen): Even better.
Paying for fuel.
It's a nice fish.
ED (off-screen): They're
nice Yellow fin.
DALE (off-screen): Yeah man.
It's not the right
one but there's a
paycheck involved.
Can't complain about that.
WILL (off-screen):
Got another one.
DALE (off-screen):
That's a nice fish.
ED (off-screen): $30 bill.
WILL: Nice.
DALE: Getting a
couple bites here.
It ain't the right
one, but might be
something for dinner.
DALE (off-screen): I'd love to
hurt somebody's feelings with
a Blue fin though.
TJ (off-screen): The tide is
just brutal today you know
sweeping us up the line.
We just keep getting
swept away in the tide,
we'll never get back
down here where the
bites have been.
TIM:
Who's that? Griff and son?
TJ: Yeah. I just
wanna go down another
five numbers anyway.
TIM: Yeah.
TJ (off-screen): It's been
a quiet few days for us.
We didn't catch a thing.
TJ (off-screen): I'm
worried that my dad feels
that we can't get it done.
TIM: You put in that one?
I'll tell you what
just, all right.
TIM (off-screen): TJ makes
all the critical calls.
So, I'm probably harder on
him than probably anybody
else on the boat.
But I'm only doing it to
try and make him a better
fisherman and
hopefully put some
fish on the boat also.
Hey, TJ, put us
on some fish.
JARRETT (off-screen):
There it is!
TJ (off-screen): Stick bite.
TIM (off-screen): (Bleep) thing
hit like a freight train.
Got no hydraulics!
TJ (off-screen): They're
on! Just let him go.
TIM (off-screen): I
am letting him go.
TJ: Got him on, baby.
TIM: He hit hard and
charged down deep.
So rigger's down deep.
So right now I'm trying to
make a little bit of line
but he's taking more
than I've taken back so.
It's coming up now so.
There he is.
TJ: What's it a
yellow fin or.
TIM (off-screen): Nah,
that's a Blue fin.
TJ (off-screen): All
right. Carabiner.
So, hold the squid, dad.
TIM (off-screen): Get inside.
TJ: Hold the squid. Slide down.
MIKE: Get inside.
TIM: Watch it.
He's right up over here.
TJ (off-screen): Michael,
I can't see him.
MIKE: He's right here.
JARRETT: Looks like we
got a good one on here.
TIM: Keep coming up
now, so, there he is.
TJ: What's it a
yellow fin or.
TIM (off-screen): No,
that's a Blue fin.
TJ (off-screen): All
right. Carabiner.
So, hold the squid, dad.
TIM (off-screen): Get inside.
TJ: Hold the squid. Slide down.
MIKE: Get inside.
TIM: Watch it. He's
right up over here.
TJ (off-screen): Michael,
I can't see him.
MIKE: He's right here!
JARRETT: Looks like we
got a good one on here.
Come on, boys.
TJ: Got him.
TIM: Get the gaffs ready.
TJ: I got a gaff.
TIM (off-screen): Where is he?
MIKE: Right here.
JARRETT: There he is.
Got him, get a tail gaff.
MIKE: I got it. I got it.
JARRETT (off-screen):
Woo! There he is!
TIM (off-screen): Beautiful!
There he is, baby there he is.
JARRETT: Go over one...
TIM: Nice. Nice.
JARRETT: Yeah.
TIM: Very nice.
TJ: To catch this fish
with dad onboard makes it
that much sweeter.
TJ (off-screen): This
is redemption for us.
Got him, baby!
TIM: Awesome. Awesome.
JARRETT: Yeah ya!
Good girl, good girl.
TIM (off-screen):
Nice. Nice fish.
JARRETT (off-screen): We
done loaded them up again.
TJ (off-screen): Nice.
TIM (off-screen): Nice unit.
When I get onboard and I
see them working hard and
they're doing a good job
and we're catching fish.
It makes me feel good
and if makes feel good,
I'm sure it makes
them feel great.
JARRETT (off-screen): 76!
TIM (off-screen): 76!
JARRETT: Yeah! That's two!
TIM (off-screen): The Hot Tuna
gods are smiling. Pa-pow!
DENNIS (off-screen): Hey Griff,
what do you got for me today?
CHARLIE (off-screen): This is
definitely gonna be a good one.
DENNIS: All right
let's get it off and
get it processed.
CHARLIE (off-screen): Yes sir.
Well, it's been a long
tough few days but we've
been, we've been
babysitting Tyler,
trying to get
him squared away.
But, we got a
nice fish here.
CHARLIE (off-screen):
Yeah, he beat us up.
But, you know in the long
run it's, it's worth it.
I can't wait to
get beat up again.
295 on this one. Good.
Good they're
getting bigger.
That's good.
JAKE (off-screen): The tuna
buyer takes a, a tail cut
to look at the core.
Look at the fat
content and the color.
CHARLIE (off-screen):
Yeah, baby.
DENNIS: Pretty excited
about this fish.
It's got some nice fat.
CHARLIE (off-screen): Good.
DENNIS: You know,
I'm seeing some
nice grease here.
DENNIS (off-screen): It's
definitely your best fish
you've caught so far.
I think they'll be competing
for this one in Japan.
CHARLIE (off-screen): Good.
DENNIS: You know
maybe 7,000 Yen.
CHARLIE: What does
that, what does that
mean for us Americans?
DENNIS: $18 a pound.
CHARLIE: That's great man,
that's a paycheck for us.
Thank you man. Thanks.
DENNIS: Well done guys.
JAKE: $18 a pound you know 295.
That's a great fish
and we're stoked.
JAKE (off-screen): Things
are looking up from here.
We got the ball rolling
all we got to do is just
keep going from here.
CHARLIE: Pretty
work, Jake.
MAN: What's up, TJ?
TJ: Got a beautiful Outer
Bank Blue fin for you,
Brandon, you want it?
MAN: Absolutely.
TJ: All right,
man, let's do it.
We've got a keeper on
board and it looks like
it's good quality.
It's a great feeling.
TJ (off-screen): I don't
know what this fish does
to our standing
but after the last
few days we're just
happy to have one.
TIM (off-screen):
What you got, Bubba?
MAN: It's 220 pounds dressed.
MIKE: Nice.
TIM: Perfect nice little unit.
MIKE: Very nice.
TIM: What's it
looking like, Bubba?
TJ: Nice color.
MAN: It's actually got
a nice tail color to it.
TJ (off-screen): Good skin fat?
MAN: Got some
nice fat on it.
MAN (off-screen): See what
it looks like inside.
TJ (off-screen): That's
a nice core man.
TIM (off-screen): That's nice.
TJ (off-screen): For a
Carolina fish that's a
beautiful core, Bubba.
MAN (off-screen): That's a,
that's a beautiful core.
TJ: So what are you
thinking man, are you.
TIM: So give us a good
number here, Bubba.
MAN: $17 a pound.
TIM: Yeah, all right.
JARRETT: Nice.
TIM: All right, bubba.
MIKE: Thanks, bro.
TIM: Very nice.
TJ (off-screen): 3,700 bucks
is nothing to sneeze at.
I'm happy, the
crew's happy,
and most importantly
the old man's happy.
Head back out.
We'll be back all right.
TIM (off-screen):
They're my boys.
I'm, you know,
proud of them.
Even when I'm not there
and they call me up and
say, "Hey, pop we
caught one."
You know, it makes me proud.
You know it brings
tears to my eyes.
You know it hits you in
the heart sometimes it's a
great feeling.
TJ: Pa-pow, baby!
BRITTON: We can
see good enough.
You want to turn those big
lights off and go ahead
and put your stick out.
CAINE (off-screen): All right.
BRITTON (off-screen): We're
headed out this morning feeling
refreshed feeling
good after yesterday.
AUSTIN: Breeze makes
it cold out here.
AJ (off-screen): The
benefit turned out great.
I really thank people
that put it on, I mean,
they're a big help.
AJ (off-screen): But right now,
we know that we have to catch
fish to pay the bills.
BRITTON (off-screen):
Whoa, there they are,
boy, look at that.
Keep your eyes open now.
Come on boys we
need this one.
CAINE (off-screen):
Whoa! There he is, baby!
BRITTON (off-screen):
There he is. Woo!
CAINE: Yeah, got him on.
BRITTON (off-screen): Scared
the fool out of me, man.
I heard that thing go pow!
CAINE: Come to daddy.
Come on, baby, 75-incher.
BRITTON (off-screen):
Seeing anything?
AUSTIN: Color
there, ain't it?
AUSTIN (off-screen): I
think he's big enough.
BRITTON: If he's big
enough toss that dart in it.
BRITTON (off-screen):
Come on, girl.
CAINE (off-screen): It's coming
up. It's coming up, Austin.
Get him Austin! Get him boy!
BRITTON (off-screen): Come on
boy we need this one.
Throw the dart, throw it.
AUSTIN:
I can't see him.
BRITTON (off-screen):
Throw the dart.
Throw the dart!
CAINE (off-screen): Watch out.
Watch him.
BRITTON (off-screen): Throw it!
CAINE (off-screen): Get
him, get him, get him!
Pretty work. Pretty work.
Good dart. Good dart.
AUSTIN (off-screen): That fish
wasn't going down without a
fight he made us work for it.
But, hey, if we
got to work for it,
that's what
we're here for.
BRITTON (off-screen): Come on.
CAINE (off-screen): Yes.
He is fat too, boy.
BRITTON: Pretty work.
CAINE: Good job everybody.
83, baby.
BRITTON (off-screen):
I'll take it.
CAINE: Good
job, everybody.
Good job, Austin.
BRITTON: All right let's
get, let's get set up.
CAINE (off-screen): Any time you
catch a fish it gives you a
boost of confidence.
This fish really means
a lot to us you know.
So, it's gonna put us
in the right direction.
BRITTON (off-screen): She
wasn't no 100-incher
but she's plenty big.
CAINE (off-screen):
Let's get him on there.
Let's get everything set
back out and hopefully
go for number two.
BRITTON: Welcome aboard.
CHARLIE: Pretty
work, Shack. Yay!
BRITTON:
Here's to the 840.
On line for the 610.
CHARLIE (off-screen): I've
known Britton for quite a while
and unlike some people
he's a team player,
and I'm glad to see that
his luck's turned around.
CAINE: We're on.
We're on, Britt!
CAINE (off-screen):
We're on. We're on!
BRITTON: What do you
mean another one?
CAINE: Got him on!
CAINE: We're on.
We're on, Britt.
We're on. We're on.
BRITTON: What do you
mean, another one?
CAINE (off-screen): Got him on!
BRITTON: Come on. Come on,
come one, you got to
hustle, hustle, hustle.
CAINE (off-screen): We
definitely need this fish.
We had to take
yesterday off.
Other boats caught;
we need to catch up.
CAINE (off-screen):
Second bite of the day.
I'm not gonna say
second fish yet.
It is our second bite.
CAINE (off-screen): Man, it'd
be lovely if this is a keeper.
BRITTON: Just gotten
the baits clipped in and
pinned and I turned around
and heard we got him on!
CAINE: Putting her
to work this morning.
Come on big girl, 74 is all I
want, 74 inches that's it.
Hell, I'll take 73.
This should be the
real deal Holyfield.
CAINE (off-screen):
Hurts my buttocks.
This is the ultimate
man versus beast.
BRITTON (off-screen): Golly
dang man! Go, Caine.
Come on boys we
need this one.
CAINE (off-screen): It's
wearing me out, boy.
BRITTON (off-screen): Come on.
CAINE: I see color!
CAINE (off-screen): So
close yet so far away.
It's gonna be a keeper.
CAINE (off-screen): Got
some fight in her still.
Come on, girl we need you.
Woo! Nice fish.
Come on baby girl.
Come on, baby girl.
BRITTON (off-screen): There's
a shot. There's a shot!
CAINE (off-screen): All
right there he is, there he is.
Hit him with a dart.
Hit him with a dart.
Hit him?
AUSTIN: Yeah.
CAINE (off-screen): We
got him. Hot damn boy!
AUSTIN (off-screen): That's
what I'm talking about.
BRITTON (off-screen): Try to get
a gaff in her, hold her tight.
CAINE (off-screen): Got her?
BRITTON (off-screen): Got her.
CAINE (off-screen):
One two three.
Good job everybody, 84!
BRITTON: Pretty work.
Number two, baby!
Thank you Lord.
Go ahead and get your
bandit back out and tell
me when you're ready.
BRITTON (off-screen): Following
what we did yesterday,
it's not coincidence to
me that we got a bite
almost immediately.
That's not lost on me.
That's, that's one of those
moments in life that you,
you know that's
a God thing.
BRITTON (off-screen): It
just hammered home to me;
that you leave it up to
me and I'll handle it.
BRITTON (off-screen): God
has a plan for everything.
I see Bubba's back.
How ya doing?
MAN: What do you got?
You got a couple today?
BRITTON: Yeah,
we got a couple.
One and one.
MAN: Good.
CAINE (off-screen):
Ready for him?
MAN: All right
let's do it.
BRITTON (off-screen): Last
couple days we've experienced a
whole gamut of emotions from
frustrated to very humble
to extremely excited.
BRITTON (off-screen): A
lot of emotion running
through me right now.
What do you got, Bubba?
MAN (off-screen): 260 pounds.
BRITTON: Sweet.
MAN: All right, let's
see what else you got.
AUSTIN (off-screen): I bet that
one weighs a little bit more.
BRITTON (off-screen):
Don't think so.
What is it, Bubba?
MAN (off-screen):
You got 293 pounds.
BRITTON: Told you 293.
MAN: Is that
what you said?
AUSTIN: No. That's
not what he said.
MAN (off-screen): Oh,
oh, he's right anyway.
AUSTIN: He's the captain
he's always right, right?
BRITTON (off-screen): All
right, we'll come up there
and check it out, Lucas.
MAN: Let's see
what it looks like.
Well you got
nice tail color.
MAN (off-screen): Nice and oily.
It's got fat on
it as you can see.
Let's see the core.
CAINE (off-screen): Here we go.
MAN (off-screen): It's a
nice color real oily too.
Core's perfect.
CAINE (off-screen):
What do you think?
MAN (off-screen):
Really nice tail color.
Really nice inside color.
Good amount of fat
in it, $19 a pound.
BRITTON: I'll take it.
CAINE (off-screen): Day's work.
BRITTON (off-screen): Take it.
MAN (off-screen): All
right. Let's check out
that second fish.
Real nice. No
burn in the core.
MAN (off-screen): I mean you got
nice oil here just the right
amount of fat.
The color's right on.
BRITTON: Moment of truth!
CAINE: Yes sir.
BRITTON (off-screen):
High hopes.
MAN (off-screen): Say
24 bucks a pound.
BRITTON: Pretty
work, buddy.
CAINE: This is the
best trip, you know,
as far as on the Doghouse
thus far this year.
BRITTON: Bubba,
thank you. Lucas.
LUCAS: Britton.
BRITTON: Thank you.
CAINE: It's gonna just put
us on the right track and
we're just gonna
keep on chucking on.
LUCAS: Catching
up to Greg?
BRITTON: The
tension is palpable.
LUCAS: Oh, nice word.
NARRATOR: With Fishin'
Frenzy off the water,
Foolish Pleasures have
easily held on to the top
spot despite not catching.
Meanwhile Doghouse's
doubly good fortune pushes
them ahead of Hot Tuna.
And Reels Of Fortune's
five grand catch inches
them ahead of their
rival Pinwheel.
TYLER (off-screen): I just want
to completely forget this
week; this was a total
like waste of time.
It was terrible.
CHARLIE (off-screen): Tyler's
just trying to be better than
everyone else and, and
he's going about it the
wrong way.
You know you can be a better
fisherman without being sneaky,
without holding,
withholding information.
It's one thing to have fun
but it's another to be an
obnoxious little
freaking arrogant punk.
TYLER: I definitely feel
like an outsider down here
on the Outer Banks and I
don't always see eye to
eye with everyone else.
CHARLIE (off-screen): I
got faith that one day
he'll get it, you know?
I was a pain in the butt
too when I was 20 years old.
