Wicked Tuna: North vs. South (2014–…): Season 8, Episode 3 - Hot Water, Big Tuna - full transcript
BOBBY: Hold on!
BRIAN: (bleep).
NARRATOR: In the Outer Banks,
you can count on
bad weather...
JIMMIE: Now, watch out! Yeah!
BRITTON: Woo! Throw the dart!
BOBBY: Get the gaff.
NARRATOR:
Bringing big battles...
JOHN-MICHAEL: Ready.
JIMMIE: I'm here now.
Come on.
JOHN-MICHAEL:
Yeah, it's a big boy!
ERIC: Big boy!
NARRATOR: And even
bigger Bluefin.
BOBBY: Oh my God.
JOHN-MICHAEL: Jumbo!
NARRATOR: But when you're the
smallest boat in the fleet...
GREG: There are
definitely not a good conditions
for the Rasta Rocket.
NARRATOR: And you're
gambling with your life...
BOBBY: What's up, boys?
We're gonna have
pasta and Rasta.
NARRATOR: You need a little
help from your friends...
ZACK: He might be a wild man,
but he honestly has
a really good heart.
NARRATOR:
Danger is on the line...
ADAM: Ah!
ERIC: What is it?
DANIEL: There he is.
NARRATOR: As the captains
search for their big one.
ELLIS: Fingers crossed, man.
GREG: I can't believe
we suck this bad.
SHANE: Color! Color!
DREW: That's a big fish!
BOBBY: Hit him!
ELLIS: Straight down.
Straight down.
BOBBY: Bam!
TREY: Jumbo!
ERIC: Yeah!
NARRATOR:
On Wicked Tuna: Outer Banks.
DANIEL: I like
big tunas and I cannot lie.
NARRATOR: Offshore Outlaw
leads the pack with
double digit earnings,
but Doghouse, Fishin' Frenzy,
and Reel E' Bugging
are close behind.
Meanwhile, Rasta Rocket
claws to keep up with
their southern competitors.
BO: Put her on money.
CATLIN:
We're gonna get 'em.
BRITTON: Well, the
morning is going good.
Just slowed down and set out.
Got some whales here.
Some birds.
Some life around.
Right now we're ahead
of the competition.
Everyone is scattered out all
over the ocean again today.
We're in the warmer water,
which tends to be more choppy.
Looks lively.
CATLIN: Still rough
today, but fishable.
And hopefully we can
get ours and go home.
When the weather is rough
it stirs up the bait and
the fish go after the bait.
We're out here trolling
today with Shack's son, Mead.
He wants to learn
the ropes and become a tuna
fisherman just like his dad.
Are you excited, Mead?
MEAD: I'm pumped. I'm jacked.
CATLIN: Man, Mead is pumped.
MEAD: I'm jacked.
BO: Mead gets
excited like I do.
MEAD: Trying to get out
here and catch some fish.
CATLIN: He's as
mellow as they come.
(beeping)
BRITTON: There's a
mark right there.
CATLIN: Here we go.
BO: There he is.
CATLIN: We got a screamer.
BO: Mead, crank in that stuff.
CATLIN: Yes, crank it in there.
BO: I got a bite or something.
I don't know what it is.
BRITTON: Is he right thing?
BO: I don't know, he started...
(tension pop)
I think it just pulled off.
It pulled off.
BRITTON: Oh, man. It's gone.
BO: Uh, no, it didn't.
He's back on.
BRITTON: Got something on.
GREG: All right,
Shack, keep going.
We're working down to you.
BRITTON: The one thing
that's paramount in this
is being able to get the
information about bites,
about catching a fish,
about the size of the fish.
It's a level playing field and
that's just the southern way.
BO: Yeah, this feels right.
He got real heavy.
(tension pop)
Ah! Just broke it.
BRITTON: Darn it, man.
Ah!
We just lost a huge fish.
It's just rough
out here today.
And with the waves
constantly yanking on that line,
eventually that fish
is going to chafe off.
BO: Nothing we could
have done different.
BRITTON:
That's a bummer, guys.
BO: Yeah, that would have
definitely put us in the lead.
CATLIN: Yeah,
it was a big Bluefin.
BOBBY: Let's do
this bedbugs style.
BRIAN:
Get tight, sucker.
BOBBY: Hold on!
Going down. Coming back.
BRIAN: Damn, son.
BOBBY: Yeah! Bring it!
BRIAN: This is
exciting stuff here.
We're like three hours
into fishing today.
No bites for us.
It's a little rough today.
BOBBY: Hold on! (bleep)
GREG: Gale Force by noon.
Great.
Wouldn't have it
any other way.
NICK: How about the
Rasta Rocket, Frenzy?
Did he make it out here today?
GREG: These are definitely
not good conditions
for the Rasta Rocket.
BOBBY: Hey, is that the Rocket?
BRIAN: Where?
BOBBY: Right there!
♪ Ho, I got lost somehow ♪
♪ I can't find my way out ♪
♪ God show me how ♪
BOBBY: Rocket, man.
I see you out there
and all I thought was
what a big set of balls.
God bless you, man.
ZACK: Oh yeah, we're so tough
Chuck Norris don't want none.
NICK: Boys are tough.
BRIAN: They're
certified nuts, bro.
Certified crazy.
ZACK: We can't
fish when the waves and
the wind are too rough,
but we had a
bad season last year,
so we got to push it.
Today is right
on the edge of weather
we shouldn't fish in,
but when you hear
reports of big tuna,
we got to go.
SHANE: We got to catch fish.
I got a family to provide for.
I got three kids, you know,
so I've got to
make a paycheck.
It's what makes
our world go round.
ZACK: It's just up to us
to make our own destiny.
We got to go out and give it
our all and take advantage of
every single weather
window that we have.
SHANE: Perfect tuna
fishing weather.
ZACK: I mean I feel like
we ain't tuna fishing
unless it is blowing
twenty knots.
SHANE: Yup.
ZACK:
We might be the underdogs,
but we are the mighty dogs.
JIMMIE: It's
getting choppy now, ain't it?
ELLIS: Oh sure.
Another day in the deep water.
JIMMIE: Setting back
out again this morning.
We're out here in the
hot water to start with.
We might experience
the cooler water.
It just doesn't seem
to hold fish as good
as the warm water does.
Spent the night last
night and bummed out
we didn't get our fish.
Everybody is spread out,
you know, hoping to
stumble across some fish
with a random
lucky scattered bite.
You just got to try
and stay positive.
It's gonna be miserable,
it's gonna be tough but we
just got to stick it out and
make it happen.
TREY: So what I'm
rigging here is a mackerel.
What I'm doing is I'm
taking the teeth out of
his mouth because if you run
the line through his mouth,
what will happen is his
teeth will cut through
that line right there
like it was nothing.
His teeth are super sharp,
so you got to knock
them down first.
ELLIS: Trey likes them.
He's got faith in them.
TREY: Voilà, I always
got faith in mackerels.
This guy will get a bite.
♪ Please give me tuna ♪
(beeping)
JIMMIE: Some marks here.
TREY: You get a mark?
JIMMIE: Yeah, a
(bleep) good one.
20 all the way down to 30.
We're marking.
(beeping)
(reel clicking)
(reel unspooling rapidly)
TREY: Hey!
ELLIS: I got him on.
TREY: Hey, I got one.
ELLIS: I got him on,
got him on, got him on.
TREY: I got one on here, too.
JIMMIE: Is it a pair?
TREY: Yeah.
He took the mackerel.
JIMMIE: Holding a pair.
JIMMIE: 775-555.
ZACK: Man, I can't
believe that.
DANIEL: It would be nice
if we can catch a couple
during this window.
TREY: It's heavy!
JIMMIE: Put the heat
to one of them and don't
do it to the other.
I don't care which
one y'all pick.
ELLIS: It's acting
like a tuna.
Hopefully it's
the right thing.
JIMMIE: Ellis, look at Trey's.
His is a tuna.
TREY: I might have
to go that way.
JIMMIE: Ellis, we're
gonna have to switch.
Switch now.
Untie it.
Don't take a chance with this.
Go under me.
It's a bad situation here.
You've always got to
be really, really careful if
you got two fish on like this.
If these two lines
get together and pull
against each other,
you could break both
of these fish off.
ELLIS: Heavy. What you want?
JIMMIE: That's why I want to
get over top of Ellis'
fish so we could be
done worrying about it.
ELLIS: We got to switch, Trey.
JIMMIE: Yeah. Yeah, we got
to switch. Let me go ahead.
Let me.
(overlapping chatter).
You need help, Trey?
TREY: Huh? There. I'm good.
Don't worry about me.
I don't have the drag on.
JIMMIE: Okay.
You kinda choose which fish
you wanna try and take first,
and then you just let the
other fish get away from
the boat so that it kind of
eliminates the chances of the
lines touching each
other and all that while
you're fighting them.
ELLIS: Mine is
right there on top, Jim.
JIMMIE: I know.
ELLIS: We got some gaffs out?
JIMMIE: A little bit choppy.
We just got to watch
everything we're doing to make
sure we get one of these two.
Just one, all we
need is one of them.
JIMMIE: We're only
allowed one fish per day here in
this wintertime quota.
We don't wanna catch too
many of these fish because
it's a dwindling species.
TREY: Heavy. He's going.
ELLIS: About to
get a swivel here.
Dammit.
JIMMIE: All right we
need that one now.
ELLIS: Busted that one off.
JIMMIE: We pulled that fish off.
It's okay.
We still got one fish on.
Chafed him off.
ELLIS: Line got
around his teeth.
We got to get this one now.
The pressure's on.
JIMMIE: Maybe that was
God telling us that was
the smaller one, anyway.
Need a fresh arm, Trey?
TREY: Yeah.
JIMMIE: Ellis.
TREY: Crank your ass off.
Crank, crank, crank.
JIMMIE: We got a lot of
string out on this one.
We got to flip around.
Now we got to gain all
this line back that we just
let this fish take out.
No, watch out.
Yeah. Ellis just
took it to the teeth.
You need to me to get in
there for a second, Ennis?
ELLIS: Yeah, bust his ass.
This felt like the
bigger of the two fish.
Fingers crossed, man.
Trying not to say too much.
TREY: Get him.
There's your leader.
There's your leader.
JIMMIE: All right,
there's your fish.
TREY: Damn, he looks
like a nice one.
JIMMIE: It's a big one, Ennis.
Pull on him, pull on him,
pull on him, pull on him,
pull on him,
pull on him, pull on him.
Pull on him, pull on him,
pull on him.
ELLIS: Come on.
There. Did you get him?
JIMMIE: Yeah, the
dart is in him.
You got the gaff ready, Ellis?
Get the gaff or anything.
Hang on, hang on, hang on.
Let him off, let him off.
Let him away from the boat.
Don't hit them throttles.
Trey, my right side.
My right side, Trey.
TREY: I can't
you're on the rope.
JIMMIE: Right side, Trey.
I'm here now. Come on, Trey.
TREY: I'm coming, dude.
JIMMIE: What are you doing?
(bleep) off?
I'm doing it from here on out.
Dammit, we're losing him.
ELLIS: Hey, Trey!
JIMMIE: Trey, my right side.
My right side, Trey.
TREY: I can't,
you're on the rope.
JIMMIE: Come on, Trey.
TREY: I'm coming, man.
JIMMIE: What are you doing?
(bleep) off?
I'm doing it from here on out.
(bleep)! We're losing him.
ELLIS: Hey, Trey.
JIMMIE: Where the
(bleep) were you?
You were on the other
side of the (bleep) boat.
TREY: You're standing
on the (bleep) rope.
JIMMIE: This is a
bigger (bleep) show
than the first one.
That's the first time I've
ever had one come up here and
we didn't get a rope on him.
Right in the tail.
Right in the tail.
Get the rope on him, Trey.
TREY: Got the
tail rope on him.
JIMMIE: Struggle but.
Woo!
ELLIS: Right on, boys.
JIMMIE:
God, he kicked our ass.
Woo!
Well, that's good!
We're going home, Trey.
ELLIS: Way to go, Trey-Trey.
JIMMIE: I'm sorry,
I yelled at you.
I was just pissed off.
ELLIS: Way to go, Trey-Trey.
JIMMIE: Hey, good lord,
he whipped our ass.
JIMMIE:
It's a jumbo.
(groan)
BOBBY: Ooh, little
Jimmie heading west.
BRIAN: Well, that would
be number two for him.
BOBBY: Yes, sir.
NICK: Definitely
bigger fish around.
The fish are growing up.
That's what they do.
I remember when these
same fish were here and
they were too small to keep.
It's just a cycle.
Eventually they'll get
big enough that they'll,
you'll have to start over,
and it'll be small fish again.
I've got Brandon out there
jigging the greenstick and
hopefully we'll catch one of
these big ones here shortly.
JIMMIE: I can't
even tell you how good it feels
to finally have another fish.
Finally back in the game.
Welcome aboard.
Uh-huh, fat boy.
All right, 101 inches.
ELLIS: Yeah.
JIMMIE: All right.
TREY: Woo!
That's what I'm
talking about, baby.
JIMMIE: Bigger than the
last one. Fat, too.
TREY: Pretty work.
ELLIS: We're going home!
JIMMIE: We're going home!
ZACK: Oh. Yeah.
ZACK: Pretty gnarly out here,
I know that.
DANIEL: It's like
20 knots still.
It's startin' to whistle though.
ZACK: Big ol' swells.
All them boats disappear
every time we go under it.
I can't see none of 'em.
BOBBY:
Hey, Rasta boys, come back.
DANIEL: Go ahead.
BOBBY: It's
freaking freezing today.
BOBBY: Hey, if we get stuck
out here past dark,
I want you all to come over
and tie up for a little bit.
BOBBY:
We're gonna surf and turf
and pasta and Rasta.
ZACK:
Pasta and Rasta.
DANIEL:
Pasta and Rasta.
ZACK: A hot flybridge
sounds good!
BOBBY: Hey, boys.
DREW: Yeah?
BOBBY: Come in here a minute.
I don't know what you're
cooking but make extra.
I just invited the
Rasta boys over.
DREW: Oh good, okay.
Yeah, I got plenty.
BOBBY: You know.
Listen, I hope we
don't feed them tonight.
I hope we get a tuna
and they get a tuna.
BRIAN: Still two hours.
BOBBY: And, you
know, we all go home.
DREW: And we can
eat at the dock.
BRIAN: Yeah.
BOBBY: Right, we
can eat at the dock.
You know what, if they're
gonna spend the night,
we'll get Minnie in,
we'll get them warm.
BRIAN: Yeah.
BOBBY: We'll feed them.
It's just the right thing to do.
BOBBY: You better
start Julienning carrots.
I like it with those
crinkles in them you make.
JIMMIE: Nice fish.
I hope it's worth
a lot of money.
TREY: What's up, boss?
DENNIS: Whoa, he's pretty big.
JIMMIE: One of the biggest
ones I've seen in a while.
DENNIS: So, let's
see what you got.
JIMMIE: Sounds good.
What do we got for
a weight, Dennis?
DENNIS: 592 pounds, guys.
JIMMIE: All right, guys,
just what we needed.
ELLIS: Fat one, boys.
DENNIS: Really nice shape.
Let's go check it out.
JIMMIE: The buyers
are looking for a tail cut with
a thick layer of fat just below
the skin and marble fat clearly
visible in the meat.
DENNIS: Not a bad fish, guys.
The tail color is
very, very nice.
What I do see is some nice
density in the minor lobes,
but I'm not seeing an awful
lot penetrating into
the majors here.
ELLIS: Let's see what we got.
DENNIS: Didn't get
much of the core.
The fish must be very hot.
Looks like a clean core.
I wish this fish just
had a little more fat.
JIMMIE: What are you thinking?
DENNIS: $8 a pound, guys.
ELLIS: All right.
All right, boys. There we go.
JIMMIE: We needed that.
You know, fishing
around those older guys
my whole life, you know,
it feels really good
to be in the running
with them, you know.
Like, it's time to get
out and show them what
I'm really made of.
TREY: We did it.
CATLIN: This is tuna
fishing weather right here,
choppy, windy.
Tunas like it rough.
BO: I don't have the body fat
for this kind of temperature.
Oh!
Britton, we got a bite.
Yeah, baby! Hooked up.
Got it?
CATLIN: Yeah. Woo!
Fish just put a
lot of line out.
This is the real deal fish.
Mead, do you want
to get in on it?
BO: Yeah, hop in there.
CATLIN: Mead, you can
almost time it with the boat.
As the boat
goes up on a swell,
don't crank on it.
It goes down,
you crank real hard.
It's kinda like the
ocean is pumping for you,
you know what I'm saying?
You'll be able to gain
more when the boat falls
down, you know what I mean?
Like right there.
The swell will help you.
There you go.
MEAD: Fish is tight.
Can you jump in here?
CATLIN: I can hop in there,
I mean, I feel fresh.
I got you. I got you.
Definitely not
cooperating very well.
I really wish he'd stay
on one side of the boat.
God, I hate to keep
picking this pole up, man.
We got to do it.
There's a lot of things
that can go wrong when
you're picking up the pole,
moving the pole.
It's just more likely
to get in the rudder,
or the wheel,
or under the boat.
Even if it just
rubs on the boat,
the bottom of the boat,
it will cut the line, so.
Damn, he's going
the other way again.
BO: You ready to move?
CATLIN: I think
we're gonna have to.
Every time we
get him to one side,
he wants to switch sides.
There's just a lot
that can get wrong.
BRITTON: Whatever side
y'all get her on she wants
to go to the other one.
CATLIN: Crazy, man.
I've never seen
nothing like it.
BRITTON: God.
Can't be far from the leader.
CATLIN: No, we're not far.
Got swivel here.
About to get a shot here, Bo.
That's a big tuna.
BRITTON: Look out, Cat.
Look out, Cat.
CATLIN: That damn line.
BO: Yeah, that line is scary.
CATLIN: Get him, Bo.
BRITTON: Throw the dart!
Throw the dart!
CATLIN: About to
get a shot here, Bo.
That's a big tuna.
BRITTON: Look out, Cat.
CATLIN: That damn line.
BO: Yeah, that line's scary.
CATLIN: Get him, Bo.
BRITTON: Throw the dart!
Throw the dart!
CATLIN: Straight down.
Straight down. Straight down.
BRITTON: Is it in
the fish or no?
CATLIN: Yes.
BO: Yeah.
BRITTON: Get
another dart in him.
He looks pretty big, so
let's not take any chances.
CATLIN: There you go.
Stick him right
in the damn head.
BRITTON: All right.
Now just let the buoys go.
It's so choppy today,
I'm scared to try
to swim that fish.
BO: Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
BRITTON: You know what I mean?
We're just gonna let him
chill for a little bit.
BRITTON: When we
have a big fish, particularly
when it's choppy,
I try to error on the
side of safety and get
a poly ball on the fish.
We've had crazy things happen...
dart lines pull out,
tail ropes break.
Having a poly ball on the
fish is just insurance.
We got one.
BRITTON:
We got a couple darts in him.
ZACK: Got a couple
darts in him.
DANIEL: Man.
BOBBY: You got a
couple darts in it?
Hey, Dogface, he's got
two darts in the fish.
BRIAN: He probably
got a good one, bro.
BOBBY: Oh yeah.
Probably, it's a
good one, dude.
Puts him at three.
BO: One time.
He's big. Pretty.
CATLIN: Wow.
BO: Woo!
BRITTON: Meady boy got him
a little piece of the pie.
CATLIN: Yes, sir. Good job.
BRITTON: Good job to you, too.
CATLIN: Huge tuna.
97 inches.
BRITTON: 97. Woo!
Boys, that's pretty work.
ZACK: Oh.
No love for the sundowner.
DANIEL: Well, damn.
ZACK: We didn't get our
sundown bite, unfortunately.
But we're easing
over here to Bobby.
He said he's got us a
nice dinner cooked and
we can see what life
of luxury is like
for a night instead of
out here in the cold.
BOBBY: What's up, boys?
DANIEL: What up?
BOBBY: Take my hand
and we're gonna jump.
Jumping in, baby.
I got you.
Somebody give me the dog.
ZACK: Precious cargo coming.
SHANE: Are you ready, Zack?
DANIEL: Yeah.
Get him over here.
ZACK: I'm coming.
BOBBY: Zack and
Rasta Rocket, I consider
personal friends.
ZACK: Oh yeah, boys.
BOBBY: They're
just very welcoming.
Great guys.
ZACK: Thank you
so much, brother.
BOBBY: If you don't like them,
then you don't just
don't like people.
I mean, these are good people.
Hey, boys.
Grab a seat.
SHANE: Dude.
ZACK: Damn.
BOBBY: Grab a seat.
ZACK:
The past two years,
Bobby on the Reel E' Buggings
has been nothing but nice to us.
He might be a wild man
but he honestly has
a really good heart.
This is like better than
catching a tuna right here.
SHANE:
Hotel Bugging.
(laughter)
MICAH: Doghouse crew.
Third fish. Woo!
ERIC: Looks like
today paid off.
It's a nice looking
fish we got.
BRITTON: Yeah,
yeah we're blessed.
MICAH: Let's see
what she weighs.
Guys, dressed,
she's 469 pounds.
BRITTON: Got him. Good fish.
CATLIN: That's a big
tuna right there.
MICAH: Yeah it is.
MEAD: She's a big girl.
ERIC: Let's see what
the core looks like.
BRITTON: That's right.
MICAH: You got a
good-looking fish here.
It, uh, it definitely has fat.
Not a deep
red but the reason it's
not is due to the fat,
which is a good thing.
The neat thing about this
one is it doesn't smush down,
so that means that
it's a nice firm fish.
BRITTON: What's
the bottom line?
MICAH: We're gonna
pay you $14 for this.
CATLIN: Wow.
BRITTON: We'll take that.
BO: Lucky charm.
MEAD: Yeah.
BRITTON: We've landed three
fish that are good fish.
It feels great.
Super stoked with my crew.
Mead did a great job.
Very impressed.
Feels good.
Take that, boys.
Yes, sir.
ERIC: Nighttime, baby.
Here we go.
Pink.
My wife's favorite color.
We need some lady
luck tonight.
ADAM: Right now we're
in 2,420 foot of water.
We got our first bait out.
It's down 180 feet.
The water temp is 65 and
half degrees, which is good.
We're starting to get
into some warmer water.
JOHN-MICHAEL: Watch out.
(thud and splash)
Woo!
ADAM: And maybe this is
where the giant tunas live.
ADAM: Seems like
there a lot of big fish around.
Hopefully, we get ours
before they're gone.
ERIC: All right, all right.
Come on, baby. Please.
ADAM: Don't seem
like much here now.
ERIC: Do you see the rods?
JOHN-MICHAEL: I can
see the back one good.
ADAM: I think the
wind just switched.
JOHN-MICHAEL: Well, it's come
out of southeast, ain't it?
ADAM: Yeah.
JOHN-MICHAEL:
It'll probably start
drifting faster too there.
ADAM: Yep.
(reel clicking)
(reel unspooling rapidly)
JOHN-MICHAEL: Down rod,
down rod, down rod, down rod.
Something on ain't it?
Got him on!
ERIC: This is it!
Holy cow! Woo!
JOHN-MICHAEL: Woo!
ERIC: Oh, that was
a big, big run.
He is smoking.
ADAM: Holy cow,
what a run, dude.
JOHN-MICHAEL: Got to
be tired after that.
ADAM: We got
a lot of line out.
Too much line.
ERIC: Oh, yeah. Woo!
ADAM: Backing down hard.
The fish is way deep.
ERIC: Like, this fish
is straight down.
Like, he's in the
mud right now.
ADAM: It's kind
of crunch time.
Just got to get her done.
ERIC: Come on, baby. Come on.
We can't do nothing until
this fish tires out.
He holds all the
cards at this point.
Ready.
ADAM: Here, drive for a second.
ERIC: Man.
ADAM: Seen my phone
in there anywhere?
ERIC: Down in the
bed somewhere.
I think he's looking
for his phone.
We're down in the trenches
on this one for sure.
There's so many things
that can go wrong right now.
(air pressure release)
(coughing)
What is it?
(coughing)
ERIC: We're down in the
trenches on this one for sure.
There's so many things
can go wrong right now.
Just got to pray our hook
holds and all our...
(coughing)
what is it?
ADAM: Fire extinguisher.
JOHN-MICHAEL:
What's smoking in there?
ERIC: Huh?
ADAM: Fire extinguisher.
I accidentally hit it.
(coughing)
ERIC: (bleep).
At least it ain't a fire.
ADAM: Looks like
we finally settled him
down just a little bit.
The fish isn't
going wild anymore.
It's up to us to
seal the deal.
JOHN-MICHAEL: Right there.
There he is. I see color.
Color, color, color!
ADAM: Color!
ERIC: Tail wrap, tail wrap!
The big one!
JOHN-MICHAEL: There he is!
A big boy!
ERIC: Big boy!
JOHN-MICHAEL: Big boy.
Get him on it!
Get him on it!
ADAM: Big boy! Whoo! Big boy!
ERIC: We got him!
JOHN-MICHAEL: Whoo! Yeah!
Back on top, boys.
Get some of that!
ADAM: Just put the
tail rope on it.
ADAM:
Big old boy. Jumbo.
NICK: Dammit. This sucks.
GREG: Another successful
day of catching (bleep)
nothing, gentlemen.
We suck.
(Greg groans)
ADAM: He is pretty damn big.
He's a jumbo.
Untie him.
We got a couple more inches.
Come on.
All right. Let him down.
JOHN-MICHAEL: Well,
I mean, damn boys.
I don't want him to fall.
ERIC: Yes, drop it.
ADAM: Let see what
we got fellas.
108, baby. Hell yeah.
JOHN-MICHAEL: Pretty work.
ERIC: 1-0-8!
ADAM: Big fish, 108 inches.
We're not gonna make
it back by midnight,
so we won't be able
to offload the fish.
We might as well just
offload it in the morning,
so really happy to have him.
Number three going on the board.
Three jumbos.
JOHN-MICHAEL: On the top!
Bam-Bam, baby!
Woo! Jumbo!
SCOTT: Chopper!
ADAM: We got
another pretty one.
SCOTT: Looks like it.
You Outlaws ain't
nothing to play with.
ERIC: No, sir.
SCOTT: So, what do you say,
you guys wanna check it out?
ADAM: Yeah, let's do it.
ERIC: Look at those
sickle fins, man.
SCOTT: So big.
Timber!
JOHN-MICHAEL: Look at that.
That fish is huge.
ERIC: It's a paddle.
ADAM: What are we
looking at, Scott?
SCOTT: We're looking
at 583 pounds dressed.
JOHN-MICHAEL: Woo! Yeah!
SCOTT: This fish
is unbelievable.
JOHN-MICHAEL: Get you some.
ADAM: We're happy
with this fish.
SCOTT: What do you guys say?
You wanna check out
the tail cut and core?
ADAM: Yeah, let's do it.
All right.
SCOTT: You guys know
how to find the quality.
ADAM: There you go.
SCOTT: Right here in the
minors, a lot of fat.
Wicked greasy fish.
It's good color,
but as round as the fish is,
there should be a little bit
more fat in the toro area,
right in the stomach.
ADAM: Yeah.
SCOTT: You guys ready
to check it out.
JOHN-MICHAEL: Yes, sir.
ADAM: Let's do it.
JOHN-MICHAEL: Let's do it.
Make it 100%.
three for three, baby.
Oh, yes, sir.
SCOTT: There it is.
JOHN-MICHAEL: Yes, sir.
SCOTT: You can actually
see how consistent
and solid this is.
ERIC: Translucent all the way.
SCOTT: So if you guys
wanna talk prices...
ten bucks a pound.
JOHN-MICHAEL:
Yes! Yes! Come on, baby!
Told you it would be
over five-grand, son.
ERIC: There we go.
JOHN-MICHAEL: Come on!
Jumbos!
SCOTT: Keep it up.
JOHN-MICHAEL:
The fish we are catching
are just huge.
Hundred inch plus fish.
I mean, it's unbelievable.
Maybe, it's our year
with these big, big fish.
Maybe it's our year
to be first place.
You know,
I'm proud of us right now.
ERIC:
Outlaw just landed one.
JOHN-MICHAEL:
Moving on up, baby!
To the East side!
NICK: Here we are,
the Little Shell.
Day 77.
55 miles Northeast
of Oregon Inlet.
The morale of the crew
is at an all-time low.
We're just about
to kill each other.
GREG: What the hell?
I can't believe
we suck this bad.
(Greg groans)
ZACK: Right now
we're desperate.
It got to get better because
it can't get no worse.
ZACK: It seems
like the bad weather brought
some big fish with it,
but we got to stick
it out to get ours
before they're gone.
We got to tap into
our inner Rasta's.
DREW: Bobby, blue fish or not?
BOBBY: No, poggie or mackerel.
DREW: Or one of these, Bobby.
BOBBY: Oh, yeah.
A shad, put that out.
DREW: All right.
BOBBY: I'm a fan.
The sun is set.
Now we're not trolling,
I'm driving around trying
to locate these fish.
Hey, Drew.
Yo. You ready?
DREW: No.
BOBBY: Ah. Oh yeah.
Look at that. (bleep)!
Oh yeah. Oh yeah.
We got him right here, man.
150.
DREW: 150 now?
BOBBY: 150.
DREW: All right,
I'll put 'em down.
BOBBY: The sooner the better.
BRIAN: Going down.
BOBBY: Perfect
tuna at 180, dude.
Perfect it's a
boomerang and a half.
Still there!
Hey, we're in the
right spot, Drew.
(beeping)
(reel clicking)
(reel unspooling rapidly)
DREW: Here we go.
BRIAN: Yeah, that
might be him, bro.
BOBBY: It's him.
That's him, bro.
Oh my God, that's him, bro.
(coughing)
DREW: Hard!
Hard right forward.
BOBBY: We're about 2 hours in.
This (bleep) is crazy.
It goes down, it goes up,
it goes left, it goes right.
DREW: He is one tough cookie.
DREW: Feels like the
right fish and it's big.
BRIAN: He's heavy.
DREW: I think this
is the biggest fish
we've ever fought.
There's weight to
this fish, Bobby.
BOBBY: Really?
DREW: Woo. Yeah.
BRIAN: There's color. Color!
DREW: Yeah.
BRIAN: Right here, Drew!
Drew, get it! Get it! Get it!
Drew, right here.
BOBBY: Get a harpoon!
Hit him! Hit him!
BRIAN: Missed him!
BOBBY: Pulling back.
BRIAN: Yeah, Drew, get
his ass right here.
BOBBY: Switch with me, Drew.
BRIAN: I can't. I'm all.
DREW: Hit him.
BOBBY: Let go.
BRIAN: Stab him?
BOBBY: Yeah, yeah.
It's a big fish, boys.
All right, get
this harpoon off.
BRIAN: Get the gaff.
BOBBY: Tail gaff.
I got it. Hold on.
You got to grab his head
I'm gonna tail gaff him.
Pick it up.
DREW: I don't have
a good hold on him.
BOBBY: Hold on.
Almost?
BRIAN: Yeah.
BOBBY: Almost?
Ahh!
BRIAN: That's a slob, boys.
DREW: That's a big fish!
BOBBY: Bam!
DREW: That's the biggest fish
I've seen in a long time.
BOBBY: All right, ready?
You got to come to me, dude.
How about we get
another one in him.
Bring him over here.
Now I can get this
rope into him.
Okay?
BRIAN: You act like
this (bleep) is so easy
to hold this (bleep) thing.
DREW: No, I know, dude.
Get that gaff out of my way.
BOBBY: All right.
I got you, bro.
Ah!
(painful scream)
DREW: You all right?
You okay?
BOBBY: Ah! Right through me.
DREW: Get that
gaff out of my way.
BOBBY: I got you, bro.
Ah!
(painful scream)
Wow! Wow!
BRIAN: Wow, I've seen that.
DREW: You all right?
BOBBY: Wow.
BRIAN: Yeah, I saw that.
DREW: You okay?
BOBBY: No. Wow.
Went right out the
other side, dude.
Wow.
BRIAN: That's a sharp gaff.
Well done.
BOBBY: Wow. All right.
DREW: Just drag him on.
BOBBY: Go. Oh my God.
DREW: You all right?
BOBBY: Hold on. (bleep).
DREW: You all right, buddy?
BOBBY: Yeah. Not really.
BRIAN: That's a fatty, dog.
BOBBY: Whoa!
Right out the other side.
BOBBY: Ugh, that's gonna hurt.
BOBBY: Yeah! Wow! Wow!
BRIAN: Wow.
BOBBY: All right,
let's do this.
Let's do this, Bri.
BRIAN: Hold on, let's do
something really quick.
BOBBY: Yeah, yeah, yeah,
pour it on my (bleep), do it!
Whoa! Do it! Do it!
Come on stop the (bleep).
Do that side, too.
Wow. Oh, man.
Let's see what we got.
All right.
BRIAN: All right. Hold on.
Oh, 111.
BOBBY: Yeah. All right, 111.
Yeah, Brian! Yeah.
BRIAN: Wow!
BOBBY: Bam! Sweet!
That's one of the
most beautiful fish I've
ever caught, 111 inches.
Fat as all hell and
they're massive.
If you can't get
excited about coming back and
getting another one of these,
you're in the wrong game.
I'm without words.
MARY: What's up, fellas?
I hardly recognize you.
BOBBY: It's been a
rough couple days, Mare.
MARY: You come back with
a bandage, all banged up.
BOBBY: Yeah.
I scratched myself.
We did everything
to make midnight.
We couldn't do it.
MARY: Yeah.
BOBBY: We're just happy
to get one, you know,
so the payoff was big.
MARY: We're happy
to have it, too.
BOBBY: All right.
Let's see what it looks like.
MARY: Let's do it.
BOBBY: All right,
Mary, what do we got?
MARY: 740 pounds, boys.
DREW: Oh, yeah!
Oh my God, that's
a beast, dude.
BRIAN: We needed that.
MARY: That's a lot of meat.
DREW: Yeah.
BOBBY: We needed that.
MARY: Well, let's take
a look and see what
we're working with.
DREW: All right.
BOBBY: You got it.
MARY: All right,
here it is, guys.
Look at that.
BOBBY: Oh, there we go.
MARY: I'm seeing some nice
fat fanning through here.
It's got a
beautiful red color.
You can feel the oil
and grease in it.
Let's see what the
core looks like.
BOBBY: Come on.
Come on, baby!
MARY: Wow.
DREW: Wow.
MARY: Looks pretty good.
BOBBY: That's pretty, man.
DREW: Oh, that's beautiful.
MARY: Right, really nice.
DREW: Right, it's
pretty red, cherry red.
MARY: It's a beautiful.
I call that a ruby
red clear core.
BOBBY: Well, Mary,
what's the bottom line?
MARY: I'm gonna say $11.
BOBBY: We'll take it.
BRIAN: Yeah.
That's another couple
trips with fuel.
BOBBY: Huge fish.
We needed this one.
My hand is beat up,
my back is half broken,
but we're gonna get him.
We're gonna get all of them.
BRIAN:
Three spot on the board.
We're still in the game.
We are still in the game.
ZACK: We just got
to the hot water.
Seems like most of
the bites that have happened
this season so far have been
in about 65-degree water.
In the South,
these fish are really keyed
in to the water temperature.
Versus up north, they're more
structure oriented up there.
They're kinda fishing the
walls and ledges of the ocean.
And those ledges never move.
Versus here, there's no
telling where the tuna
will be from day to day.
ZACK: That's why
it's so hard to fish down
here in the Outer Banks.
Come on, baby, give us a bite.
ZACK: We was
out on the water all night.
It was freezing out,
but we're trying to
catch our jumbo, and we
ain't going home till we do.
Look, marking 'em.
(beeping)
(reel clicking)
(reel unspooling rapidly)
DANIEL: Got 'em on, baby!
DANIEL: Double.
Doubled up.
(tension snap)
It might have come off.
ZACK: What happened?
DANIEL: Just popped.
Mine's gone.
Concentrate on Shane's.
ZACK: We had
a double, but lost one
right off the get go.
We got one on
right this second.
We got our fingers crossed.
DANIEL: Want me
to reel him in?
ZACK: Oh, we need this fish.
♪ Come on, come on,
come on, let's go! ♪
♪ We on the rise ♪
♪ Setting it off,
taking it higher ♪
♪ On the rise, yeah ♪
♪ We're gonna set it ablaze,
world on fire ♪
♪ On the rise. Huh ♪ ♪
DANIEL: Come turn this
handle for a minute.
Mean fish.
But we gonna get him.
Hang on.
I see him. Get ready, boys.
He's getting kind of under us.
ZACK: Spin?
DANIEL: Yeah.
DANIEL: Keep on coming around.
ZACK: Big one, ain't he?
DANIEL: Keep going to him.
Keep going to him.
Back right up. Back right up.
DANIEL: Come on,
you gotta come around.
ZACK: I'm trying.
Somehow we're losing
hydraulic steering fluid and
I can't turn it that fast.
DANIEL: Spin it.
SHANE: Spin it, Zack.
ZACK: I'm spinning
it as fast I can.
DANIEL: It won't turn at all?
ZACK: It won't turn, dude.
I was trying to tell you.
It won't.
SHANE: Wanna go
to the bow with it?
Ready?
Got it.
ZACK: We'll be okay.
I just can't turn that fast.
You good, Daniel?
DANIEL: Yeah, you
see the swivel?
ZACK: Yeah.
DANIEL: All right, Shane.
SHANE: I'm coming.
I'm here.
Don't tell me to throw it.
DANIEL: Back up. Back up.
There we go.
There he is!
SHANE: Going side right.
DANIEL: There he is.
Go, go, go!
ZACK: Get the harpoon, Shane!
All right, give me the rope.
Give me the harpoon.
SHANE: The harpoon,
get the harpoon.
DANIEL:
All right, Shane.
SHANE: I'm here.
Going side right.
DANIEL:
Right. There he is.
Go, go, go!
ZACK: Damn!
Get the harpoon, Shane!
Give me the rope.
Give me the harpoon.
SHANE: Get the harpoon.
Get the harpoon.
(bleep).
What you want, Daniel?
DANIEL: I wanted the fish stuck.
SHANE: He was...
DANIEL: I told you
he was right there.
SHANE: He was deep.
ZACK: Pandemonium, boys.
DANIEL: Hellfire, a mean one.
DANIEL: Reverse!
Keep going.
SHANE: Keep going!
All right.
ZACK: Go, go, go!
Get him! Get him!
Get him this time, Shane.
DANIEL: Drill that mother.
ZACK: Ow! Woo!
Got him, boys.
SHANE: Yeah, boys.
Tail gaff. Tail gaff.
Come on.
Give me one. Give me one.
DANIEL: Gonna bring
him right to you.
SHANE: You got that one?
Give me the other one, Zack.
Keep going, Zack.
Keep going.
I got him up.
I said you got him,
I pulled him up.
ZACK: Yeah! Woo!
DANIEL: We got him, dude.
ZACK: We're back in it, boys.
That's a big one!
DANIEL: Golly, boys.
I like big tunas
and I cannot lie.
ZACK: Oh, the Rocket is
going to the West, boys.
ZACK: Got him.
NICK: I'm starting
to lose faith now.
GREG: Dammit, everybody's
got them on except us.
ZACK: You ready to
get this thing in the boat?
I hope he fits
through this door.
Minnie, move.
(grunting)
Are we making any headway?
Three!
It's the head...
ZACK: It was a
struggle all the way around,
from fishing
to getting the bite,
to the fight,
all the way to getting
him into the boat.
ZACK: Come on, baby!
ZACK: But we're
blessed with a monster fish.
The Bluefin are so big
this year, because of the
one fish a per day limit.
We're allowing more to
survive and get big.
SHANE: You got him.
ZACK: Yeah, baby!
Woo! Yeah. Wow!
He's a big one.
SHANE: Let's pull
a tape on him.
ZACK: Let's see
what this thing is.
I'm gonna have to reach out.
DANIEL: The back of the boat.
Do we have enough tape?
ZACK: 106, boys.
DANIEL: Oh yeah.
ZACK: That right here
put us back in the fight.
Three way. Yeah.
Four way, four way! Yeah!
That's what you call the
Outer Banks giant, boys.
Got him, boys.
Number two. Woo!
We got another one, man.
BILL: Look at the
size of that thing.
ZACK: It's a huge one, dude.
We about couldn't even
get it in the boat.
We ought to earn
some respect today.
BILL: Oh yeah.
I know you boys are
tired and cold, let's
get this thing up here.
ZACK: Let's get it.
This fish was a struggle.
DANIEL: Come up easy.
ZACK: We barely got
that thing in the boat.
This thing was a huge beast.
(snap)
SHANE: Oh hold on.
Uh, we got to put
another rope on it.
ZACK: A rope buster.
SHANE: All right, round 2.
ZACK: Even though
we're in a smaller boat that
doesn't mean we don't
catch big fish.
Put a little bit of
strain on that one.
BILL: Nice, son.
ZACK: I think it's
the biggest fish in the
competition right now.
And we're gonna
keep it that way.
The fleet might doubt
us on our small boat,
but we get it done.
What's that beast weigh, man?
BILL: 743 pounds.
ZACK: Man.
BILL: Congratulations.
ZACK: Biggest fish
we ever caught.
BILL: Ready to see what the
real deal is on the inside.
SHANE: Get down to business.
BILL: Get down to business.
ZACK: That's a big weight.
Hopefully, this
tail cut's right.
BILL: It actually has a
really nice color, guys.
You know, really not
a lot of fat, though.
Not that real greasy slick
sheen that you really
like to see you know.
Let's see what the
core looks like.
Oh yeah, really nice color.
All that being said...
I'd say $9 a pound.
SHANE: Okay.
ZACK: This fish right
here being our biggest
one we've ever caught,
I mean we're on
cloud nine right now.
We gonna bring you
another one tomorrow.
BILL: All right, boss.
Y'all be safe out
there and enjoy it.
ZACK: Thank you.
SHANE: Tomorrow.
ZACK: We'll see you, man.
BILL: All right, boys.
ZACK: We might not be able
to get out there every day
that these bigger boats can.
But we make our time
on the water count.
We're already a force to be
reckoned with this season and
we're only getting started.
There's some jumbos out there
this season and we're gonna
be the ones to find them.
All the other boats
better watch out.
Little boat, big weather,
and big tunas.
NARRATOR: Offshore
Outlaw maintains their
first place position,
with Reel E' Bugging
and Doghouse within
striking distance.
Rasta's big catch
boosts them up one spot,
while Hog Wild's
second catch moves
them out of last place.

Cotter Media Group.
BRIAN: (bleep).
NARRATOR: In the Outer Banks,
you can count on
bad weather...
JIMMIE: Now, watch out! Yeah!
BRITTON: Woo! Throw the dart!
BOBBY: Get the gaff.
NARRATOR:
Bringing big battles...
JOHN-MICHAEL: Ready.
JIMMIE: I'm here now.
Come on.
JOHN-MICHAEL:
Yeah, it's a big boy!
ERIC: Big boy!
NARRATOR: And even
bigger Bluefin.
BOBBY: Oh my God.
JOHN-MICHAEL: Jumbo!
NARRATOR: But when you're the
smallest boat in the fleet...
GREG: There are
definitely not a good conditions
for the Rasta Rocket.
NARRATOR: And you're
gambling with your life...
BOBBY: What's up, boys?
We're gonna have
pasta and Rasta.
NARRATOR: You need a little
help from your friends...
ZACK: He might be a wild man,
but he honestly has
a really good heart.
NARRATOR:
Danger is on the line...
ADAM: Ah!
ERIC: What is it?
DANIEL: There he is.
NARRATOR: As the captains
search for their big one.
ELLIS: Fingers crossed, man.
GREG: I can't believe
we suck this bad.
SHANE: Color! Color!
DREW: That's a big fish!
BOBBY: Hit him!
ELLIS: Straight down.
Straight down.
BOBBY: Bam!
TREY: Jumbo!
ERIC: Yeah!
NARRATOR:
On Wicked Tuna: Outer Banks.
DANIEL: I like
big tunas and I cannot lie.
NARRATOR: Offshore Outlaw
leads the pack with
double digit earnings,
but Doghouse, Fishin' Frenzy,
and Reel E' Bugging
are close behind.
Meanwhile, Rasta Rocket
claws to keep up with
their southern competitors.
BO: Put her on money.
CATLIN:
We're gonna get 'em.
BRITTON: Well, the
morning is going good.
Just slowed down and set out.
Got some whales here.
Some birds.
Some life around.
Right now we're ahead
of the competition.
Everyone is scattered out all
over the ocean again today.
We're in the warmer water,
which tends to be more choppy.
Looks lively.
CATLIN: Still rough
today, but fishable.
And hopefully we can
get ours and go home.
When the weather is rough
it stirs up the bait and
the fish go after the bait.
We're out here trolling
today with Shack's son, Mead.
He wants to learn
the ropes and become a tuna
fisherman just like his dad.
Are you excited, Mead?
MEAD: I'm pumped. I'm jacked.
CATLIN: Man, Mead is pumped.
MEAD: I'm jacked.
BO: Mead gets
excited like I do.
MEAD: Trying to get out
here and catch some fish.
CATLIN: He's as
mellow as they come.
(beeping)
BRITTON: There's a
mark right there.
CATLIN: Here we go.
BO: There he is.
CATLIN: We got a screamer.
BO: Mead, crank in that stuff.
CATLIN: Yes, crank it in there.
BO: I got a bite or something.
I don't know what it is.
BRITTON: Is he right thing?
BO: I don't know, he started...
(tension pop)
I think it just pulled off.
It pulled off.
BRITTON: Oh, man. It's gone.
BO: Uh, no, it didn't.
He's back on.
BRITTON: Got something on.
GREG: All right,
Shack, keep going.
We're working down to you.
BRITTON: The one thing
that's paramount in this
is being able to get the
information about bites,
about catching a fish,
about the size of the fish.
It's a level playing field and
that's just the southern way.
BO: Yeah, this feels right.
He got real heavy.
(tension pop)
Ah! Just broke it.
BRITTON: Darn it, man.
Ah!
We just lost a huge fish.
It's just rough
out here today.
And with the waves
constantly yanking on that line,
eventually that fish
is going to chafe off.
BO: Nothing we could
have done different.
BRITTON:
That's a bummer, guys.
BO: Yeah, that would have
definitely put us in the lead.
CATLIN: Yeah,
it was a big Bluefin.
BOBBY: Let's do
this bedbugs style.
BRIAN:
Get tight, sucker.
BOBBY: Hold on!
Going down. Coming back.
BRIAN: Damn, son.
BOBBY: Yeah! Bring it!
BRIAN: This is
exciting stuff here.
We're like three hours
into fishing today.
No bites for us.
It's a little rough today.
BOBBY: Hold on! (bleep)
GREG: Gale Force by noon.
Great.
Wouldn't have it
any other way.
NICK: How about the
Rasta Rocket, Frenzy?
Did he make it out here today?
GREG: These are definitely
not good conditions
for the Rasta Rocket.
BOBBY: Hey, is that the Rocket?
BRIAN: Where?
BOBBY: Right there!
♪ Ho, I got lost somehow ♪
♪ I can't find my way out ♪
♪ God show me how ♪
BOBBY: Rocket, man.
I see you out there
and all I thought was
what a big set of balls.
God bless you, man.
ZACK: Oh yeah, we're so tough
Chuck Norris don't want none.
NICK: Boys are tough.
BRIAN: They're
certified nuts, bro.
Certified crazy.
ZACK: We can't
fish when the waves and
the wind are too rough,
but we had a
bad season last year,
so we got to push it.
Today is right
on the edge of weather
we shouldn't fish in,
but when you hear
reports of big tuna,
we got to go.
SHANE: We got to catch fish.
I got a family to provide for.
I got three kids, you know,
so I've got to
make a paycheck.
It's what makes
our world go round.
ZACK: It's just up to us
to make our own destiny.
We got to go out and give it
our all and take advantage of
every single weather
window that we have.
SHANE: Perfect tuna
fishing weather.
ZACK: I mean I feel like
we ain't tuna fishing
unless it is blowing
twenty knots.
SHANE: Yup.
ZACK:
We might be the underdogs,
but we are the mighty dogs.
JIMMIE: It's
getting choppy now, ain't it?
ELLIS: Oh sure.
Another day in the deep water.
JIMMIE: Setting back
out again this morning.
We're out here in the
hot water to start with.
We might experience
the cooler water.
It just doesn't seem
to hold fish as good
as the warm water does.
Spent the night last
night and bummed out
we didn't get our fish.
Everybody is spread out,
you know, hoping to
stumble across some fish
with a random
lucky scattered bite.
You just got to try
and stay positive.
It's gonna be miserable,
it's gonna be tough but we
just got to stick it out and
make it happen.
TREY: So what I'm
rigging here is a mackerel.
What I'm doing is I'm
taking the teeth out of
his mouth because if you run
the line through his mouth,
what will happen is his
teeth will cut through
that line right there
like it was nothing.
His teeth are super sharp,
so you got to knock
them down first.
ELLIS: Trey likes them.
He's got faith in them.
TREY: Voilà, I always
got faith in mackerels.
This guy will get a bite.
♪ Please give me tuna ♪
(beeping)
JIMMIE: Some marks here.
TREY: You get a mark?
JIMMIE: Yeah, a
(bleep) good one.
20 all the way down to 30.
We're marking.
(beeping)
(reel clicking)
(reel unspooling rapidly)
TREY: Hey!
ELLIS: I got him on.
TREY: Hey, I got one.
ELLIS: I got him on,
got him on, got him on.
TREY: I got one on here, too.
JIMMIE: Is it a pair?
TREY: Yeah.
He took the mackerel.
JIMMIE: Holding a pair.
JIMMIE: 775-555.
ZACK: Man, I can't
believe that.
DANIEL: It would be nice
if we can catch a couple
during this window.
TREY: It's heavy!
JIMMIE: Put the heat
to one of them and don't
do it to the other.
I don't care which
one y'all pick.
ELLIS: It's acting
like a tuna.
Hopefully it's
the right thing.
JIMMIE: Ellis, look at Trey's.
His is a tuna.
TREY: I might have
to go that way.
JIMMIE: Ellis, we're
gonna have to switch.
Switch now.
Untie it.
Don't take a chance with this.
Go under me.
It's a bad situation here.
You've always got to
be really, really careful if
you got two fish on like this.
If these two lines
get together and pull
against each other,
you could break both
of these fish off.
ELLIS: Heavy. What you want?
JIMMIE: That's why I want to
get over top of Ellis'
fish so we could be
done worrying about it.
ELLIS: We got to switch, Trey.
JIMMIE: Yeah. Yeah, we got
to switch. Let me go ahead.
Let me.
(overlapping chatter).
You need help, Trey?
TREY: Huh? There. I'm good.
Don't worry about me.
I don't have the drag on.
JIMMIE: Okay.
You kinda choose which fish
you wanna try and take first,
and then you just let the
other fish get away from
the boat so that it kind of
eliminates the chances of the
lines touching each
other and all that while
you're fighting them.
ELLIS: Mine is
right there on top, Jim.
JIMMIE: I know.
ELLIS: We got some gaffs out?
JIMMIE: A little bit choppy.
We just got to watch
everything we're doing to make
sure we get one of these two.
Just one, all we
need is one of them.
JIMMIE: We're only
allowed one fish per day here in
this wintertime quota.
We don't wanna catch too
many of these fish because
it's a dwindling species.
TREY: Heavy. He's going.
ELLIS: About to
get a swivel here.
Dammit.
JIMMIE: All right we
need that one now.
ELLIS: Busted that one off.
JIMMIE: We pulled that fish off.
It's okay.
We still got one fish on.
Chafed him off.
ELLIS: Line got
around his teeth.
We got to get this one now.
The pressure's on.
JIMMIE: Maybe that was
God telling us that was
the smaller one, anyway.
Need a fresh arm, Trey?
TREY: Yeah.
JIMMIE: Ellis.
TREY: Crank your ass off.
Crank, crank, crank.
JIMMIE: We got a lot of
string out on this one.
We got to flip around.
Now we got to gain all
this line back that we just
let this fish take out.
No, watch out.
Yeah. Ellis just
took it to the teeth.
You need to me to get in
there for a second, Ennis?
ELLIS: Yeah, bust his ass.
This felt like the
bigger of the two fish.
Fingers crossed, man.
Trying not to say too much.
TREY: Get him.
There's your leader.
There's your leader.
JIMMIE: All right,
there's your fish.
TREY: Damn, he looks
like a nice one.
JIMMIE: It's a big one, Ennis.
Pull on him, pull on him,
pull on him, pull on him,
pull on him,
pull on him, pull on him.
Pull on him, pull on him,
pull on him.
ELLIS: Come on.
There. Did you get him?
JIMMIE: Yeah, the
dart is in him.
You got the gaff ready, Ellis?
Get the gaff or anything.
Hang on, hang on, hang on.
Let him off, let him off.
Let him away from the boat.
Don't hit them throttles.
Trey, my right side.
My right side, Trey.
TREY: I can't
you're on the rope.
JIMMIE: Right side, Trey.
I'm here now. Come on, Trey.
TREY: I'm coming, dude.
JIMMIE: What are you doing?
(bleep) off?
I'm doing it from here on out.
Dammit, we're losing him.
ELLIS: Hey, Trey!
JIMMIE: Trey, my right side.
My right side, Trey.
TREY: I can't,
you're on the rope.
JIMMIE: Come on, Trey.
TREY: I'm coming, man.
JIMMIE: What are you doing?
(bleep) off?
I'm doing it from here on out.
(bleep)! We're losing him.
ELLIS: Hey, Trey.
JIMMIE: Where the
(bleep) were you?
You were on the other
side of the (bleep) boat.
TREY: You're standing
on the (bleep) rope.
JIMMIE: This is a
bigger (bleep) show
than the first one.
That's the first time I've
ever had one come up here and
we didn't get a rope on him.
Right in the tail.
Right in the tail.
Get the rope on him, Trey.
TREY: Got the
tail rope on him.
JIMMIE: Struggle but.
Woo!
ELLIS: Right on, boys.
JIMMIE:
God, he kicked our ass.
Woo!
Well, that's good!
We're going home, Trey.
ELLIS: Way to go, Trey-Trey.
JIMMIE: I'm sorry,
I yelled at you.
I was just pissed off.
ELLIS: Way to go, Trey-Trey.
JIMMIE: Hey, good lord,
he whipped our ass.
JIMMIE:
It's a jumbo.
(groan)
BOBBY: Ooh, little
Jimmie heading west.
BRIAN: Well, that would
be number two for him.
BOBBY: Yes, sir.
NICK: Definitely
bigger fish around.
The fish are growing up.
That's what they do.
I remember when these
same fish were here and
they were too small to keep.
It's just a cycle.
Eventually they'll get
big enough that they'll,
you'll have to start over,
and it'll be small fish again.
I've got Brandon out there
jigging the greenstick and
hopefully we'll catch one of
these big ones here shortly.
JIMMIE: I can't
even tell you how good it feels
to finally have another fish.
Finally back in the game.
Welcome aboard.
Uh-huh, fat boy.
All right, 101 inches.
ELLIS: Yeah.
JIMMIE: All right.
TREY: Woo!
That's what I'm
talking about, baby.
JIMMIE: Bigger than the
last one. Fat, too.
TREY: Pretty work.
ELLIS: We're going home!
JIMMIE: We're going home!
ZACK: Oh. Yeah.
ZACK: Pretty gnarly out here,
I know that.
DANIEL: It's like
20 knots still.
It's startin' to whistle though.
ZACK: Big ol' swells.
All them boats disappear
every time we go under it.
I can't see none of 'em.
BOBBY:
Hey, Rasta boys, come back.
DANIEL: Go ahead.
BOBBY: It's
freaking freezing today.
BOBBY: Hey, if we get stuck
out here past dark,
I want you all to come over
and tie up for a little bit.
BOBBY:
We're gonna surf and turf
and pasta and Rasta.
ZACK:
Pasta and Rasta.
DANIEL:
Pasta and Rasta.
ZACK: A hot flybridge
sounds good!
BOBBY: Hey, boys.
DREW: Yeah?
BOBBY: Come in here a minute.
I don't know what you're
cooking but make extra.
I just invited the
Rasta boys over.
DREW: Oh good, okay.
Yeah, I got plenty.
BOBBY: You know.
Listen, I hope we
don't feed them tonight.
I hope we get a tuna
and they get a tuna.
BRIAN: Still two hours.
BOBBY: And, you
know, we all go home.
DREW: And we can
eat at the dock.
BRIAN: Yeah.
BOBBY: Right, we
can eat at the dock.
You know what, if they're
gonna spend the night,
we'll get Minnie in,
we'll get them warm.
BRIAN: Yeah.
BOBBY: We'll feed them.
It's just the right thing to do.
BOBBY: You better
start Julienning carrots.
I like it with those
crinkles in them you make.
JIMMIE: Nice fish.
I hope it's worth
a lot of money.
TREY: What's up, boss?
DENNIS: Whoa, he's pretty big.
JIMMIE: One of the biggest
ones I've seen in a while.
DENNIS: So, let's
see what you got.
JIMMIE: Sounds good.
What do we got for
a weight, Dennis?
DENNIS: 592 pounds, guys.
JIMMIE: All right, guys,
just what we needed.
ELLIS: Fat one, boys.
DENNIS: Really nice shape.
Let's go check it out.
JIMMIE: The buyers
are looking for a tail cut with
a thick layer of fat just below
the skin and marble fat clearly
visible in the meat.
DENNIS: Not a bad fish, guys.
The tail color is
very, very nice.
What I do see is some nice
density in the minor lobes,
but I'm not seeing an awful
lot penetrating into
the majors here.
ELLIS: Let's see what we got.
DENNIS: Didn't get
much of the core.
The fish must be very hot.
Looks like a clean core.
I wish this fish just
had a little more fat.
JIMMIE: What are you thinking?
DENNIS: $8 a pound, guys.
ELLIS: All right.
All right, boys. There we go.
JIMMIE: We needed that.
You know, fishing
around those older guys
my whole life, you know,
it feels really good
to be in the running
with them, you know.
Like, it's time to get
out and show them what
I'm really made of.
TREY: We did it.
CATLIN: This is tuna
fishing weather right here,
choppy, windy.
Tunas like it rough.
BO: I don't have the body fat
for this kind of temperature.
Oh!
Britton, we got a bite.
Yeah, baby! Hooked up.
Got it?
CATLIN: Yeah. Woo!
Fish just put a
lot of line out.
This is the real deal fish.
Mead, do you want
to get in on it?
BO: Yeah, hop in there.
CATLIN: Mead, you can
almost time it with the boat.
As the boat
goes up on a swell,
don't crank on it.
It goes down,
you crank real hard.
It's kinda like the
ocean is pumping for you,
you know what I'm saying?
You'll be able to gain
more when the boat falls
down, you know what I mean?
Like right there.
The swell will help you.
There you go.
MEAD: Fish is tight.
Can you jump in here?
CATLIN: I can hop in there,
I mean, I feel fresh.
I got you. I got you.
Definitely not
cooperating very well.
I really wish he'd stay
on one side of the boat.
God, I hate to keep
picking this pole up, man.
We got to do it.
There's a lot of things
that can go wrong when
you're picking up the pole,
moving the pole.
It's just more likely
to get in the rudder,
or the wheel,
or under the boat.
Even if it just
rubs on the boat,
the bottom of the boat,
it will cut the line, so.
Damn, he's going
the other way again.
BO: You ready to move?
CATLIN: I think
we're gonna have to.
Every time we
get him to one side,
he wants to switch sides.
There's just a lot
that can get wrong.
BRITTON: Whatever side
y'all get her on she wants
to go to the other one.
CATLIN: Crazy, man.
I've never seen
nothing like it.
BRITTON: God.
Can't be far from the leader.
CATLIN: No, we're not far.
Got swivel here.
About to get a shot here, Bo.
That's a big tuna.
BRITTON: Look out, Cat.
Look out, Cat.
CATLIN: That damn line.
BO: Yeah, that line is scary.
CATLIN: Get him, Bo.
BRITTON: Throw the dart!
Throw the dart!
CATLIN: About to
get a shot here, Bo.
That's a big tuna.
BRITTON: Look out, Cat.
CATLIN: That damn line.
BO: Yeah, that line's scary.
CATLIN: Get him, Bo.
BRITTON: Throw the dart!
Throw the dart!
CATLIN: Straight down.
Straight down. Straight down.
BRITTON: Is it in
the fish or no?
CATLIN: Yes.
BO: Yeah.
BRITTON: Get
another dart in him.
He looks pretty big, so
let's not take any chances.
CATLIN: There you go.
Stick him right
in the damn head.
BRITTON: All right.
Now just let the buoys go.
It's so choppy today,
I'm scared to try
to swim that fish.
BO: Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
BRITTON: You know what I mean?
We're just gonna let him
chill for a little bit.
BRITTON: When we
have a big fish, particularly
when it's choppy,
I try to error on the
side of safety and get
a poly ball on the fish.
We've had crazy things happen...
dart lines pull out,
tail ropes break.
Having a poly ball on the
fish is just insurance.
We got one.
BRITTON:
We got a couple darts in him.
ZACK: Got a couple
darts in him.
DANIEL: Man.
BOBBY: You got a
couple darts in it?
Hey, Dogface, he's got
two darts in the fish.
BRIAN: He probably
got a good one, bro.
BOBBY: Oh yeah.
Probably, it's a
good one, dude.
Puts him at three.
BO: One time.
He's big. Pretty.
CATLIN: Wow.
BO: Woo!
BRITTON: Meady boy got him
a little piece of the pie.
CATLIN: Yes, sir. Good job.
BRITTON: Good job to you, too.
CATLIN: Huge tuna.
97 inches.
BRITTON: 97. Woo!
Boys, that's pretty work.
ZACK: Oh.
No love for the sundowner.
DANIEL: Well, damn.
ZACK: We didn't get our
sundown bite, unfortunately.
But we're easing
over here to Bobby.
He said he's got us a
nice dinner cooked and
we can see what life
of luxury is like
for a night instead of
out here in the cold.
BOBBY: What's up, boys?
DANIEL: What up?
BOBBY: Take my hand
and we're gonna jump.
Jumping in, baby.
I got you.
Somebody give me the dog.
ZACK: Precious cargo coming.
SHANE: Are you ready, Zack?
DANIEL: Yeah.
Get him over here.
ZACK: I'm coming.
BOBBY: Zack and
Rasta Rocket, I consider
personal friends.
ZACK: Oh yeah, boys.
BOBBY: They're
just very welcoming.
Great guys.
ZACK: Thank you
so much, brother.
BOBBY: If you don't like them,
then you don't just
don't like people.
I mean, these are good people.
Hey, boys.
Grab a seat.
SHANE: Dude.
ZACK: Damn.
BOBBY: Grab a seat.
ZACK:
The past two years,
Bobby on the Reel E' Buggings
has been nothing but nice to us.
He might be a wild man
but he honestly has
a really good heart.
This is like better than
catching a tuna right here.
SHANE:
Hotel Bugging.
(laughter)
MICAH: Doghouse crew.
Third fish. Woo!
ERIC: Looks like
today paid off.
It's a nice looking
fish we got.
BRITTON: Yeah,
yeah we're blessed.
MICAH: Let's see
what she weighs.
Guys, dressed,
she's 469 pounds.
BRITTON: Got him. Good fish.
CATLIN: That's a big
tuna right there.
MICAH: Yeah it is.
MEAD: She's a big girl.
ERIC: Let's see what
the core looks like.
BRITTON: That's right.
MICAH: You got a
good-looking fish here.
It, uh, it definitely has fat.
Not a deep
red but the reason it's
not is due to the fat,
which is a good thing.
The neat thing about this
one is it doesn't smush down,
so that means that
it's a nice firm fish.
BRITTON: What's
the bottom line?
MICAH: We're gonna
pay you $14 for this.
CATLIN: Wow.
BRITTON: We'll take that.
BO: Lucky charm.
MEAD: Yeah.
BRITTON: We've landed three
fish that are good fish.
It feels great.
Super stoked with my crew.
Mead did a great job.
Very impressed.
Feels good.
Take that, boys.
Yes, sir.
ERIC: Nighttime, baby.
Here we go.
Pink.
My wife's favorite color.
We need some lady
luck tonight.
ADAM: Right now we're
in 2,420 foot of water.
We got our first bait out.
It's down 180 feet.
The water temp is 65 and
half degrees, which is good.
We're starting to get
into some warmer water.
JOHN-MICHAEL: Watch out.
(thud and splash)
Woo!
ADAM: And maybe this is
where the giant tunas live.
ADAM: Seems like
there a lot of big fish around.
Hopefully, we get ours
before they're gone.
ERIC: All right, all right.
Come on, baby. Please.
ADAM: Don't seem
like much here now.
ERIC: Do you see the rods?
JOHN-MICHAEL: I can
see the back one good.
ADAM: I think the
wind just switched.
JOHN-MICHAEL: Well, it's come
out of southeast, ain't it?
ADAM: Yeah.
JOHN-MICHAEL:
It'll probably start
drifting faster too there.
ADAM: Yep.
(reel clicking)
(reel unspooling rapidly)
JOHN-MICHAEL: Down rod,
down rod, down rod, down rod.
Something on ain't it?
Got him on!
ERIC: This is it!
Holy cow! Woo!
JOHN-MICHAEL: Woo!
ERIC: Oh, that was
a big, big run.
He is smoking.
ADAM: Holy cow,
what a run, dude.
JOHN-MICHAEL: Got to
be tired after that.
ADAM: We got
a lot of line out.
Too much line.
ERIC: Oh, yeah. Woo!
ADAM: Backing down hard.
The fish is way deep.
ERIC: Like, this fish
is straight down.
Like, he's in the
mud right now.
ADAM: It's kind
of crunch time.
Just got to get her done.
ERIC: Come on, baby. Come on.
We can't do nothing until
this fish tires out.
He holds all the
cards at this point.
Ready.
ADAM: Here, drive for a second.
ERIC: Man.
ADAM: Seen my phone
in there anywhere?
ERIC: Down in the
bed somewhere.
I think he's looking
for his phone.
We're down in the trenches
on this one for sure.
There's so many things
that can go wrong right now.
(air pressure release)
(coughing)
What is it?
(coughing)
ERIC: We're down in the
trenches on this one for sure.
There's so many things
can go wrong right now.
Just got to pray our hook
holds and all our...
(coughing)
what is it?
ADAM: Fire extinguisher.
JOHN-MICHAEL:
What's smoking in there?
ERIC: Huh?
ADAM: Fire extinguisher.
I accidentally hit it.
(coughing)
ERIC: (bleep).
At least it ain't a fire.
ADAM: Looks like
we finally settled him
down just a little bit.
The fish isn't
going wild anymore.
It's up to us to
seal the deal.
JOHN-MICHAEL: Right there.
There he is. I see color.
Color, color, color!
ADAM: Color!
ERIC: Tail wrap, tail wrap!
The big one!
JOHN-MICHAEL: There he is!
A big boy!
ERIC: Big boy!
JOHN-MICHAEL: Big boy.
Get him on it!
Get him on it!
ADAM: Big boy! Whoo! Big boy!
ERIC: We got him!
JOHN-MICHAEL: Whoo! Yeah!
Back on top, boys.
Get some of that!
ADAM: Just put the
tail rope on it.
ADAM:
Big old boy. Jumbo.
NICK: Dammit. This sucks.
GREG: Another successful
day of catching (bleep)
nothing, gentlemen.
We suck.
(Greg groans)
ADAM: He is pretty damn big.
He's a jumbo.
Untie him.
We got a couple more inches.
Come on.
All right. Let him down.
JOHN-MICHAEL: Well,
I mean, damn boys.
I don't want him to fall.
ERIC: Yes, drop it.
ADAM: Let see what
we got fellas.
108, baby. Hell yeah.
JOHN-MICHAEL: Pretty work.
ERIC: 1-0-8!
ADAM: Big fish, 108 inches.
We're not gonna make
it back by midnight,
so we won't be able
to offload the fish.
We might as well just
offload it in the morning,
so really happy to have him.
Number three going on the board.
Three jumbos.
JOHN-MICHAEL: On the top!
Bam-Bam, baby!
Woo! Jumbo!
SCOTT: Chopper!
ADAM: We got
another pretty one.
SCOTT: Looks like it.
You Outlaws ain't
nothing to play with.
ERIC: No, sir.
SCOTT: So, what do you say,
you guys wanna check it out?
ADAM: Yeah, let's do it.
ERIC: Look at those
sickle fins, man.
SCOTT: So big.
Timber!
JOHN-MICHAEL: Look at that.
That fish is huge.
ERIC: It's a paddle.
ADAM: What are we
looking at, Scott?
SCOTT: We're looking
at 583 pounds dressed.
JOHN-MICHAEL: Woo! Yeah!
SCOTT: This fish
is unbelievable.
JOHN-MICHAEL: Get you some.
ADAM: We're happy
with this fish.
SCOTT: What do you guys say?
You wanna check out
the tail cut and core?
ADAM: Yeah, let's do it.
All right.
SCOTT: You guys know
how to find the quality.
ADAM: There you go.
SCOTT: Right here in the
minors, a lot of fat.
Wicked greasy fish.
It's good color,
but as round as the fish is,
there should be a little bit
more fat in the toro area,
right in the stomach.
ADAM: Yeah.
SCOTT: You guys ready
to check it out.
JOHN-MICHAEL: Yes, sir.
ADAM: Let's do it.
JOHN-MICHAEL: Let's do it.
Make it 100%.
three for three, baby.
Oh, yes, sir.
SCOTT: There it is.
JOHN-MICHAEL: Yes, sir.
SCOTT: You can actually
see how consistent
and solid this is.
ERIC: Translucent all the way.
SCOTT: So if you guys
wanna talk prices...
ten bucks a pound.
JOHN-MICHAEL:
Yes! Yes! Come on, baby!
Told you it would be
over five-grand, son.
ERIC: There we go.
JOHN-MICHAEL: Come on!
Jumbos!
SCOTT: Keep it up.
JOHN-MICHAEL:
The fish we are catching
are just huge.
Hundred inch plus fish.
I mean, it's unbelievable.
Maybe, it's our year
with these big, big fish.
Maybe it's our year
to be first place.
You know,
I'm proud of us right now.
ERIC:
Outlaw just landed one.
JOHN-MICHAEL:
Moving on up, baby!
To the East side!
NICK: Here we are,
the Little Shell.
Day 77.
55 miles Northeast
of Oregon Inlet.
The morale of the crew
is at an all-time low.
We're just about
to kill each other.
GREG: What the hell?
I can't believe
we suck this bad.
(Greg groans)
ZACK: Right now
we're desperate.
It got to get better because
it can't get no worse.
ZACK: It seems
like the bad weather brought
some big fish with it,
but we got to stick
it out to get ours
before they're gone.
We got to tap into
our inner Rasta's.
DREW: Bobby, blue fish or not?
BOBBY: No, poggie or mackerel.
DREW: Or one of these, Bobby.
BOBBY: Oh, yeah.
A shad, put that out.
DREW: All right.
BOBBY: I'm a fan.
The sun is set.
Now we're not trolling,
I'm driving around trying
to locate these fish.
Hey, Drew.
Yo. You ready?
DREW: No.
BOBBY: Ah. Oh yeah.
Look at that. (bleep)!
Oh yeah. Oh yeah.
We got him right here, man.
150.
DREW: 150 now?
BOBBY: 150.
DREW: All right,
I'll put 'em down.
BOBBY: The sooner the better.
BRIAN: Going down.
BOBBY: Perfect
tuna at 180, dude.
Perfect it's a
boomerang and a half.
Still there!
Hey, we're in the
right spot, Drew.
(beeping)
(reel clicking)
(reel unspooling rapidly)
DREW: Here we go.
BRIAN: Yeah, that
might be him, bro.
BOBBY: It's him.
That's him, bro.
Oh my God, that's him, bro.
(coughing)
DREW: Hard!
Hard right forward.
BOBBY: We're about 2 hours in.
This (bleep) is crazy.
It goes down, it goes up,
it goes left, it goes right.
DREW: He is one tough cookie.
DREW: Feels like the
right fish and it's big.
BRIAN: He's heavy.
DREW: I think this
is the biggest fish
we've ever fought.
There's weight to

BRIAN: Right here, Drew!

BOBBY: Get a harpoon!
Hit him! Hit him!
BRIAN: Missed him!
BOBBY: Pulling back.
BRIAN: Yeah, Drew, get

BOBBY: Switch with me, Drew.
BRIAN: I can't. I'm all.
DREW: Hit him.
BOBBY: Let go.
BRIAN: Stab him?
BOBBY: Yeah, yeah.
It's a big fish, boys.
All right, get
this harpoon off.
BRIAN: Get the gaff.
BOBBY: Tail gaff.
I got it. Hold on.
You got to grab his head
I'm gonna tail gaff him.
Pick it up.
DREW: I don't have
a good hold on him.
BOBBY: Hold on.
Almost?
BRIAN: Yeah.
BOBBY: Almost?
Ahh!
BRIAN: That's a slob, boys.
DREW: That's a big fish!
BOBBY: Bam!
DREW: That's the biggest fish
I've seen in a long time.
BOBBY: All right, ready?
You got to come to me, dude.
How about we get
another one in him.
Bring him over here.
Now I can get this
rope into him.
Okay?
BRIAN: You act like
this (bleep) is so easy
to hold this (bleep) thing.
DREW: No, I know, dude.
Get that gaff out of my way.
BOBBY: All right.
I got you, bro.
Ah!
(painful scream)
DREW: You all right?
You okay?
BOBBY: Ah! Right through me.
DREW: Get that
gaff out of my way.
BOBBY: I got you, bro.
Ah!
(painful scream)
Wow! Wow!
BRIAN: Wow, I've seen that.
DREW: You all right?
BOBBY: Wow.
BRIAN: Yeah, I saw that.
DREW: You okay?
BOBBY: No. Wow.
Went right out the
other side, dude.
Wow.
BRIAN: That's a sharp gaff.
Well done.
BOBBY: Wow. All right.
DREW: Just drag him on.
BOBBY: Go. Oh my God.
DREW: You all right?
BOBBY: Hold on. (bleep).
DREW: You all right, buddy?
BOBBY: Yeah. Not really.
BRIAN: That's a fatty, dog.
BOBBY: Whoa!
Right out the other side.
BOBBY: Ugh, that's gonna hurt.
BOBBY: Yeah! Wow! Wow!
BRIAN: Wow.
BOBBY: All right,
let's do this.
Let's do this, Bri.
BRIAN: Hold on, let's do
something really quick.
BOBBY: Yeah, yeah, yeah,
pour it on my (bleep), do it!
Whoa! Do it! Do it!
Come on stop the (bleep).
Do that side, too.
Wow. Oh, man.
Let's see what we got.
All right.
BRIAN: All right. Hold on.
Oh, 111.
BOBBY: Yeah. All right, 111.
Yeah, Brian! Yeah.
BRIAN: Wow!
BOBBY: Bam! Sweet!
That's one of the
most beautiful fish I've
ever caught, 111 inches.
Fat as all hell and
they're massive.
If you can't get
excited about coming back and
getting another one of these,
you're in the wrong game.
I'm without words.
MARY: What's up, fellas?
I hardly recognize you.
BOBBY: It's been a
rough couple days, Mare.
MARY: You come back with
a bandage, all banged up.
BOBBY: Yeah.
I scratched myself.
We did everything
to make midnight.
We couldn't do it.
MARY: Yeah.
BOBBY: We're just happy
to get one, you know,
so the payoff was big.
MARY: We're happy
to have it, too.
BOBBY: All right.
Let's see what it looks like.
MARY: Let's do it.
BOBBY: All right,
Mary, what do we got?
MARY: 740 pounds, boys.
DREW: Oh, yeah!
Oh my God, that's
a beast, dude.
BRIAN: We needed that.
MARY: That's a lot of meat.
DREW: Yeah.
BOBBY: We needed that.
MARY: Well, let's take
a look and see what
we're working with.
DREW: All right.
BOBBY: You got it.
MARY: All right,
here it is, guys.
Look at that.
BOBBY: Oh, there we go.
MARY: I'm seeing some nice
fat fanning through here.
It's got a
beautiful red color.
You can feel the oil
and grease in it.
Let's see what the
core looks like.
BOBBY: Come on.
Come on, baby!
MARY: Wow.
DREW: Wow.
MARY: Looks pretty good.
BOBBY: That's pretty, man.
DREW: Oh, that's beautiful.
MARY: Right, really nice.
DREW: Right, it's
pretty red, cherry red.
MARY: It's a beautiful.
I call that a ruby
red clear core.
BOBBY: Well, Mary,
what's the bottom line?
MARY: I'm gonna say $11.
BOBBY: We'll take it.
BRIAN: Yeah.
That's another couple
trips with fuel.
BOBBY: Huge fish.
We needed this one.
My hand is beat up,
my back is half broken,
but we're gonna get him.
We're gonna get all of them.
BRIAN:
Three spot on the board.
We're still in the game.
We are still in the game.
ZACK: We just got
to the hot water.
Seems like most of
the bites that have happened
this season so far have been
in about 65-degree water.
In the South,
these fish are really keyed
in to the water temperature.
Versus up north, they're more
structure oriented up there.
They're kinda fishing the
walls and ledges of the ocean.
And those ledges never move.
Versus here, there's no
telling where the tuna
will be from day to day.
ZACK: That's why
it's so hard to fish down
here in the Outer Banks.
Come on, baby, give us a bite.
ZACK: We was
out on the water all night.
It was freezing out,
but we're trying to
catch our jumbo, and we
ain't going home till we do.
Look, marking 'em.
(beeping)
(reel clicking)
(reel unspooling rapidly)
DANIEL: Got 'em on, baby!
DANIEL: Double.
Doubled up.
(tension snap)
It might have come off.
ZACK: What happened?
DANIEL: Just popped.
Mine's gone.
Concentrate on Shane's.
ZACK: We had
a double, but lost one
right off the get go.
We got one on
right this second.
We got our fingers crossed.
DANIEL: Want me
to reel him in?
ZACK: Oh, we need this fish.
♪ Come on, come on,
come on, let's go! ♪
♪ We on the rise ♪
♪ Setting it off,
taking it higher ♪
♪ On the rise, yeah ♪
♪ We're gonna set it ablaze,
world on fire ♪
♪ On the rise. Huh ♪ ♪
DANIEL: Come turn this
handle for a minute.
Mean fish.
But we gonna get him.
Hang on.
I see him. Get ready, boys.
He's getting kind of under us.
ZACK: Spin?
DANIEL: Yeah.
DANIEL: Keep on coming around.
ZACK: Big one, ain't he?
DANIEL: Keep going to him.
Keep going to him.
Back right up. Back right up.
DANIEL: Come on,
you gotta come around.
ZACK: I'm trying.
Somehow we're losing
hydraulic steering fluid and
I can't turn it that fast.
DANIEL: Spin it.
SHANE: Spin it, Zack.
ZACK: I'm spinning
it as fast I can.
DANIEL: It won't turn at all?
ZACK: It won't turn, dude.
I was trying to tell you.
It won't.
SHANE: Wanna go
to the bow with it?
Ready?
Got it.
ZACK: We'll be okay.
I just can't turn that fast.
You good, Daniel?
DANIEL: Yeah, you
see the swivel?
ZACK: Yeah.
DANIEL: All right, Shane.
SHANE: I'm coming.
I'm here.
Don't tell me to throw it.
DANIEL: Back up. Back up.
There we go.
There he is!
SHANE: Going side right.
DANIEL: There he is.
Go, go, go!
ZACK: Get the harpoon, Shane!
All right, give me the rope.
Give me the harpoon.
SHANE: The harpoon,
get the harpoon.
DANIEL:
All right, Shane.
SHANE: I'm here.
Going side right.
DANIEL:
Right. There he is.
Go, go, go!
ZACK: Damn!
Get the harpoon, Shane!
Give me the rope.
Give me the harpoon.
SHANE: Get the harpoon.
Get the harpoon.
(bleep).
What you want, Daniel?
DANIEL: I wanted the fish stuck.
SHANE: He was...
DANIEL: I told you
he was right there.
SHANE: He was deep.
ZACK: Pandemonium, boys.
DANIEL: Hellfire, a mean one.
DANIEL: Reverse!
Keep going.
SHANE: Keep going!
All right.
ZACK: Go, go, go!
Get him! Get him!
Get him this time, Shane.
DANIEL: Drill that mother.
ZACK: Ow! Woo!
Got him, boys.
SHANE: Yeah, boys.
Tail gaff. Tail gaff.
Come on.
Give me one. Give me one.
DANIEL: Gonna bring
him right to you.
SHANE: You got that one?
Give me the other one, Zack.
Keep going, Zack.
Keep going.
I got him up.
I said you got him,
I pulled him up.
ZACK: Yeah! Woo!
DANIEL: We got him, dude.
ZACK: We're back in it, boys.
That's a big one!
DANIEL: Golly, boys.
I like big tunas
and I cannot lie.
ZACK: Oh, the Rocket is
going to the West, boys.
ZACK: Got him.
NICK: I'm starting
to lose faith now.
GREG: Dammit, everybody's
got them on except us.
ZACK: You ready to
get this thing in the boat?
I hope he fits
through this door.
Minnie, move.
(grunting)
Are we making any headway?
Three!
It's the head...
ZACK: It was a
struggle all the way around,
from fishing
to getting the bite,
to the fight,
all the way to getting
him into the boat.
ZACK: Come on, baby!
ZACK: But we're
blessed with a monster fish.
The Bluefin are so big
this year, because of the
one fish a per day limit.
We're allowing more to
survive and get big.
SHANE: You got him.
ZACK: Yeah, baby!
Woo! Yeah. Wow!
He's a big one.
SHANE: Let's pull
a tape on him.
ZACK: Let's see
what this thing is.
I'm gonna have to reach out.
DANIEL: The back of the boat.
Do we have enough tape?
ZACK: 106, boys.
DANIEL: Oh yeah.
ZACK: That right here
put us back in the fight.
Three way. Yeah.
Four way, four way! Yeah!
That's what you call the
Outer Banks giant, boys.
Got him, boys.
Number two. Woo!
We got another one, man.
BILL: Look at the
size of that thing.
ZACK: It's a huge one, dude.
We about couldn't even
get it in the boat.
We ought to earn
some respect today.
BILL: Oh yeah.
I know you boys are
tired and cold, let's
get this thing up here.
ZACK: Let's get it.
This fish was a struggle.
DANIEL: Come up easy.
ZACK: We barely got
that thing in the boat.
This thing was a huge beast.
(snap)
SHANE: Oh hold on.
Uh, we got to put
another rope on it.
ZACK: A rope buster.
SHANE: All right, round 2.
ZACK: Even though
we're in a smaller boat that
doesn't mean we don't
catch big fish.
Put a little bit of
strain on that one.
BILL: Nice, son.
ZACK: I think it's
the biggest fish in the
competition right now.
And we're gonna
keep it that way.
The fleet might doubt
us on our small boat,
but we get it done.
What's that beast weigh, man?
BILL: 743 pounds.
ZACK: Man.
BILL: Congratulations.
ZACK: Biggest fish
we ever caught.
BILL: Ready to see what the
real deal is on the inside.
SHANE: Get down to business.
BILL: Get down to business.
ZACK: That's a big weight.
Hopefully, this
tail cut's right.
BILL: It actually has a
really nice color, guys.
You know, really not
a lot of fat, though.
Not that real greasy slick
sheen that you really
like to see you know.
Let's see what the
core looks like.
Oh yeah, really nice color.
All that being said...
I'd say $9 a pound.
SHANE: Okay.
ZACK: This fish right
here being our biggest
one we've ever caught,
I mean we're on
cloud nine right now.
We gonna bring you
another one tomorrow.
BILL: All right, boss.
Y'all be safe out
there and enjoy it.
ZACK: Thank you.
SHANE: Tomorrow.
ZACK: We'll see you, man.
BILL: All right, boys.
ZACK: We might not be able
to get out there every day
that these bigger boats can.
But we make our time
on the water count.
We're already a force to be
reckoned with this season and
we're only getting started.
There's some jumbos out there
this season and we're gonna
be the ones to find them.
All the other boats
better watch out.
Little boat, big weather,
and big tunas.
NARRATOR: Offshore
Outlaw maintains their
first place position,
with Reel E' Bugging
and Doghouse within
striking distance.
Rasta's big catch
boosts them up one spot,
while Hog Wild's
second catch moves
them out of last place.
