Wicked Tuna: North vs. South (2014–…): Season 8, Episode 7 - Fog of War - full transcript
NARRATOR: On this episode...
BRITTON: Been nasty,
gonna be nasty.
CLIFF: It's just a hard
day to go Bluefin-ing.
DREW: You got mountainous
of seas out here, man.
BILLON:
Not optimum conditions.
BOBBY: The fish
are out there, man.
I can't sit at the dock.
NARRATOR: One captain
defies Mother Nature...
GREG: Decided to leave
without telling anybody.
NICK: Gonna start going
at 8 and 9-foot now.
ADAM: Sure would like to
get a bite today before dark.
NARRATOR:
And blindsides the fleet...
JIMMIE: There's a
fine line between being
tough and being stupid.
And I think he
was in the stupid.
NARRATOR: With a desperate
grab at Bluefin glory.
BOBBY: I guarantee
you the whole fleet
is out here tomorrow.
BRITTON: Him not playing on a
level playing field is no good.
NARRATOR: But in the
fog of tuna war...
DIRTY: Like hunting
buffalo with a blindfold.
BOBBY: Literally it's
smoke on the water.
NARRATOR: Will the battle...
JIMMIE: Everybody's kind
of turned against him now.
GREG: I just know who I can
work with and who I can't.
NARRATOR: Be worth the risk?
BOBBY: We just got to end
this fight sooner or later.
Conditions are deteriorating.
NARRATOR: This is...
NICK: Dammit.
DIRTY: Look out.
BRANDAN: Oh, there's
a boat right there.
Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!
Hey! Hey! Hey!
NARRATOR:
Wicked Tuna: Outer Banks.
JIMMIE: He's done it,
so he's gonna get
what's coming for him.
NARRATOR: As the fleet
faces more days off the water,
Offshore Outlaw
sits in first place
over ten grand ahead
of Reel E' Bugging and
Little Shell at the
bottom of the pack.
(wind and waves crashing)
ADAM: Well, it looked
like it was all right,
now it's changing for the worst.
As bad as we want
to win this thing,
we got to stay level-headed.
JOHN-MICHAEL: Yeah,
safety first anyway.
ADAM: All these local guys
that fish here ain't leaving.
ERIC: Hell yeah,
we'll sit it out.
The ocean ain't doable.
ADAM: Like, we're not
gonna fish for the next
three or four days
is what it looks like.
Can't have these
short weather windows.
The good thing about
not fishing today with
this weather is.
JOHN-MICHAEL:
Nobody's fishing.
ADAM: Nobody's fishing.
BOBBY: All right,
let's do this, boys!
We're trying to sneak out.
We're at the bottom.
If we don't take a risk.
DREW: We're gonna
stay at the bottom.

BOBBY: This is big.
DREW: Let's go.
Change the season right here.
We snuck out.
We didn't tell anybody
we were leaving.
DREW: We got a
rung up, you know.
BOBBY: Only way to get back
in this thing is to fish when
no one's willing to fish.
It's blowing.
The sandbar is gonna be epic.
I think we got all
the boat we need,
so we're gonna
give this a shot.
See if we can't bring
home the gold today.
♪ I can't stop

SHANE: Just need a
break in the weather.
ZACK: The only good thing is
it's been blowing big enough...
the big boats have
been at bay as well.
DANIEL: Yeah, last year
it was just rough enough
we couldn't go, but they could.
This year, you know,
it's keeping us all in,
but still ain't
nobody making money.
DREW: This outside route
will give us a little better
angle on the bar.
BOBBY: We showed up two years
ago and we won this thing.
And then we come out the
following year and lay an egg.
It was a nightmare
and we came in last.

it was a fluke got to say,

as many fish as anybody
in this fleet, period.

Let's do it.

Oh (bleep) yeah.
We just happen to have a
high tolerance for pain,
and they fear that.
I know they do.
Hold on. We're good. Oh, boy.
One more dude
for good measure.
DREW: Yeah.

DREW: Damn!
BOBBY: Whoa!
DREW: We are out!
Yeah, baby!
BOBBY: We're out, boys!
DREW: Yeah, man!
This is how we do it,
sneak one in.
GREG:
The whole risk reward
this year this a whole lot
different than it's
been in the past.
You got all these boats
here sitting on "Go".
I wish we had a few
more days to fish.
DIRTY: Half the year has
already been weather days.
GREG: Yeah, well,
we got to wait for the
wind to stop blowing.
It's blowing 30
offshore right now, so.
BRIAN: Game on!
BOBBY: Hey,
boys, you ready to fish?
BRIAN: Almost.
BOBBY:
Outside of the Outer Banks,
usually you're fishing
structure, but down here,
it's different,
the water's moving.
It's different every day,
but you're looking literally
for temperature breaks
where cold water pushes up
on the hot water.
You got an 18-degree break
in 200-foot of water.
BRIAN: That's what we want.
BOBBY: Let's do this, man.
All right, here we go.
Here we go. Come on, now.
(beeping)
(reel clicking)
(reel unspooling rapidly)
BRIAN: There it is.
There it is.
DREW: Come on.
Come on, get tight.
There he is!
BRIAN:
Going that way.
Bobby!
BOBBY: Yep.
BRIAN: Going that way,
so steer that way.
BOBBY: I got you.
BRIAN: That's him.
BOBBY: Wow.
Stay on him, Brian.
BRIAN:
He took it all the
way down into the backing.
BOBBY: You're tight
though, right?
BRIAN: Yeah, we're tight.
Hell yeah, boys. Got the bite.
BOBBY: Tight and right!
BRIAN: Tight and right.
They said it was
unfishable day,
but we know we
can fish in this.
BOBBY: You know, this Bluefin
fishing is an adventure.
You know, you have
nothing until that fish is
on a tail rope.
But we got a hope
and a dream right now,
which is a lot more than we'd
have if we're sitting at home.
BRIAN: Hey, let me get.
BOBBY: You guys every two
minutes should switch.
Keep fresh arms as fresh.
Crank, baby.
BRIAN: He's coming
this way, so.
BOBBY: He's in the tide, dude.
BRIAN: Yeah,
he's swimming with us.
BOBBY: Get it back.
Get it back.
Risk reward, baby.
Risk reward.
Come on, Drew.
He's getting smoked, Bri.
Swap out.
BRIAN: You ready?
BOBBY: Go ahead, guys.
Stay fresh.
Hey, you guys having fun?
BRIAN: Yeah!
DREW: Oh, yeah.
BOBBY: Are you having fun?
DREW: Yeah!
DREW: Hey, we could be
sitting at the dock.
BOBBY: This is a
lunch pail crew, man.
We don't, you know, we
just go out and fish.
We try and have fun, you know.
We fish better when
we're having fun.
There's a lot of great
fishermen this year,
but I will tell you this,
if we lose it won't be
because we sat at the dock,
I'll tell you that, okay?
BRIAN: He's getting close.
We're getting real close here.
BOBBY: He's up
and down now, kid.
DREW: He's putting it on, dude.
BOBBY: He's gonna bring
us color in a minute.
BRIAN: Yeah, he's coming up.
BOBBY: We're right
where we want him.
BRIAN: Color. I got color.
BOBBY: No (bleep).
BRIAN: Yup.
BOBBY: Damn.
DREW: Oh, yeah. There you go.
There's color now.
BOBBY: That's some
big color, bro.
Look at the size of him.
BRIAN: Drew, you
might be able to get a
shot at him right here.
BOBBY: Drew, get ready.
The right side.
The right side.
BRIAN: All right.
He's right here.
Right here, Drew.
That's it, get him.
Again, again.
DREW: Dart pulled.
BRIAN: Did you get him?
BOBBY: I don't think
you hit him good enough.
BRIAN: Get a gaff.
Get a gaff.
BOBBY: Just get a gaff, Brian.
Just gaff his head.
BRIAN: Don't hit the line.
Don't hit the line.
He's right here.
BOBBY: Relax!
DREW: I got him in the lats.
BRIAN: All right, good.
Put a tail rope on him.
DREW: Ready.
BOBBY: We got to do this fast.
Cinch it, baby.
Drag him in the door?
BRIAN: Yeah, (bleep).
Open it up. Drag him in.
Let's get out of here.
BOBBY: Hold this, man.
You got it?
One, two.
BRIAN: Two, three.
BOBBY: He's in!
BRIAN: We're in the game, boys!
BOBBY: We're back in the game!
Oh!
DREW: Oh, yeah.
Way to go.
BOBBY: Guys, beautiful fight.
BRIAN: Yeah.
Let's get a tape on him, bro.
See what we got.
BOBBY: All right.
DREW: Ready?
BRIAN: Yeah.
DREW: 100 inches.
BOBBY: Yeah! Yeah! We're back!
We're back in the game!
Yeah!
BRIAN: Woo! Bugging, baby!
We're not losers today.
(thunder)
BOBBY:
What's going on, boys?
Bam! Bam!
DENNIS: Wow, nice shape on him.
BOBBY: Yeah.
Pretty fish, 100-incher.
DENNIS: All right.
Well, I'm freezing.
Let's get this
fish off the boat.
BOBBY: Let's get
this big boy up.
We're good.
We're the only one to bring
a fish to the dock today,
so I know that's gonna
help us get a better price.
Wow, it's freaking
miserable out here.
If this tuna has
a fat in the meat,
a nice red tail cut,
and a nice clear core sample,
we should get top
dollar for this fish.
That would be icing
on the cake today.
All right, Dennis.
What's this bad boy weigh?
DENNIS: 501 pounds.
DREW: Yeah, sweet.
Brother, man, that's great.
DENNIS: Let's check it out.
Just a little bit of fat.
BOBBY:
A little bit of fat. Yeah.
DENNIS: You can see
just in the minor lobes.
BOBBY: Well, let's hope
the core is decent.
DENNIS: Exactly, let's see
what the core looks like.
Not perfect, but that's
a really nice core.
BOBBY: Bottom line, Dennis,
what do you think
you can do for us?
DENNIS: It's the only
fish I got today...
I'm gonna pay you $11.
BOBBY: Let's take it.
We'll take it.
DREW: Cool. Great. Yeah, man.
BOBBY: We took a
battle for this one.
DREW: Right. Yeah.
It's a paycheck, right?
BOBBY: We'll take it.
It's miserable out here,
and you know what though,
we had to do it.
We had to go today.
You know, we're falling behind.
But this is what we live for.
You know, when you make
it out safely, get one,
no one else gets one,
just get back safely, whoa.
God.
It's an accomplishment,
it really is.
I don't know if anyone
knows we got him,
but I'm sure the
word's out that we went.
BOBBY: The
fish are out there, man.
I can't sit at the dock.
We're alone,
you know, nobody here.
You know, everyone went
to sleep two nights ago.
They had a one or
two-fish lead on us,
and they may wake up
tomorrow morning and we'll be
tied at the top of the board.
That's the
objective here, you know.
(phone ringing)
Yeah, Jimmie.
JIMMIE: I thought you
weren't going fishing?
BOBBY: What, buddy?
JIMMIE: Come on, man. Really?
BOBBY: I'm getting
under the bridge.
I'll call you on the
other side of the bar.
JIMMIE: Come on, man.
BOBBY: Wish me luck. Bye-bye.
That's Jimmie.
He goes,
"He went to the marina."
"Oh, man."
(Drew laughs)
"Come on, man."
That's all he kept saying.
ELLIS:
What's up with Bobby?
JIMMIE:
He's been slipping out there.
And I can't believe,
it's just not worth it to
me to go out there and take
a chance of hurting somebody.
It sounds like there's
some fish out there but.
TREY:
You need to suck it
up some days, but some days,
Bobby, he goes out there when
it's God-awfully dangerous.
ELLIS: Yeah.
TREY: If he keeps going
out there like that, he's,
he's risking his crew.
That's how you lose a life.
ELLIS: Yeah. I don't.
TREY: I don't want
to go out there and die
through that crap.
ELLIS: Yeah, that's stupid.
If you're going fishing,
it's a collective thing.
Everybody's gonna go.
You win or you lose on
a level playing field.
Not by sneaking out there in.
TREY: Yeah.
ELLIS: Piss poor conditions
and risking lives.
TREY: Yeah.
ELLIS:
It's just, that's stupid.
BOBBY: Hey, I think
I found the water.
That is wild.
I mean, it's amazing out
here where the gulf stream
runs into the regular current.
I mean, the water temperature
jumped 20 degrees.
I mean, when that happens,
it's just, literally
it's smoke on the water.
Wow, this is Medieval looking.
Wow, look at these
waves stacked up, dude.
BRIAN:
Sometimes it's a little
stressful being out here alone,
but it's a small window today,
but if anybody
can do it, Bobby can.
BOBBY: It
will be just like yesterday.
It will be nerve-racking.
I don't fault
anyone who sat out.
Not everyone is
meant for this.
We have the biggest
boat in the fleet.
I know we can do this.
This is risky.
But you know what?
The Bluefin are here
and it's calculated.
(beeping)
Wow, we got big marks here.
Mother lode kind of
stuff right there.
Marks at 100!
Wow. Oh, come on.
Get tight. Get tight.
DREW: I'm here to catch tuna
and chew bubblegum.
I'm all out of bubblegum.
BRIAN: Yeah.
DREW: Hey, Bobby!
BOBBY: Yeah, yeah!
BRIAN: There he is.
There he is.
BOBBY: Yeah, boy!
BRIAN: There he is,
there he is.
BOBBY: All right,
get ready to get on him.
BRIAN: We are tight.
BOBBY: Yeah, boy!
BRIAN: Get him in the boat
is the name of the game now.
Feels good.
He's the right fish.
BOBBY: Hey, Frenzy
just says to me,
"Thanks for the heads up."
Oh!
DREW: Oh!
BOBBY: Oh, they're
getting salty now!
We just got to end this
fight sooner or later.
Conditions are deteriorating.
Winds are picking up.
Wave heights are increasing.
Big roller coming, kid.
Oh, heads up!
Big one, big one, big one.
Like a squall coming
through here, bro.
DREW: We've got mountainous
seas out here, man.
BRIAN: He's coming up, Drew.
BOBBY: Back up
and get him, Brian.
DREW: Good color, good color.
BOBBY: Oh, yeah.
DREW: Oh, he still
got life in him, buddy.
DREW: Trying to sneak
under the boat, Bobby!
DREW: Go, go, go!
BRIAN: Go, go, go, go, go,
go, go, go, go, go, go!
Keep going!
DREW: Keep going! Keep going!
BRIAN: Keep going! Keep going!
Forward, keep going!
DREW: Keep going forward, Bobby!
BOBBY: I'm trying.
DREW: Forward, heavy!
BRIAN: Holy (bleep)!
BOBBY: I'm in forward
as you're saying it,
just so you know.
BRIAN: What was that, bro?
BRIAN: I can hear the engine.
BOBBY: Dude, the boat don't
spin the way you want it to.
It ain't that easy.
Here he comes, Drew.
Right under you.
Get ready.
BRIAN: Right here, swivel's on.
BOBBY: Now! Stick him!
Good!
DREW: Got him.
BRIAN: Got him! Yeah!
Oh, what a hook set, baby!
What a hook set! Woo!
BOBBY: Let's tie
him up here, bro.
BRIAN: Yeah, boy!
BOBBY: Get
something on his tail.
Get a tail gaff.
Tighten that up.
Tighten that up.
Bam!
BRIAN: Bam!
BOBBY: Guess who's going home?
Dude, we're going home!
DREW: Wow. Wow.
BOBBY: We're the only
ones who came out two days in
a row and we got two fish.
You know, we're at
the bottom of the board.
I don't know if it
puts us at the top,
but it certainly
puts us in the mix.
BRIAN: Hey, you ready?
BOBBY: Wow.
All right, big Brian.
DREW: He is fatter.
BOBBY: 99!
DREW: 99, yeah!
BOBBY: Again. Here we go.
I guarantee you the whole
fleet is out here tomorrow.
BOBBY: Whoa, baby!
DREW: Hey, Dennis.
How are you, buddy?
DENNIS: I'm getting an ice
cream headache standing here.
BOBBY: I'll tell
you what, Dennis.
That was the worst trip
in a long time, man.
DENNIS: Were you the only
boat out there today?
BOBBY: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We got lucky, we got bit.
DENNIS: Well, let's get
it off so you can get back
out there again.
BOBBY: Going up, baby. Yeah!
Dennis, what's it weigh?
DENNIS:
518 pounds dressed.
BOBBY: Oh!
BRIAN: Yeah!
BOBBY: I knew it. I knew it.
DENNIS: Let's go see
if it's got any fat.
BOBBY: Yeah.
DENNIS: Not bad, man.
BOBBY: That's a nice fish.
DENNIS: Very, very,
nice meat color here.
Fatty meat fanning
into the majors.
Let's hope for a
good core here.
BOBBY: Come on, Dennis!
DENNIS: Look at that, beautiful.
BOBBY: Oh, pretty fish.
BRIAN: Oh, that's beautiful.
BOBBY: Tell me
how much, Dennis.
DENNIS: It's the
only fish I got today...
I'm gonna pay you $11.
BOBBY: Yeah!
We'll take it, man.
Dennis, thanks.
DREW: Sweet!
DENNIS: Thank you.
BOBBY: Thank you so much.
DREW: Thanks, Dennis.
DENNIS: All right, guys.
Nice work. Okay.
BOBBY: All right, Dennis.
Thank you, pal.
We're gonna pack
out and back out,
we'll get you
another one tomorrow.
BRITTON:
We're headed outta here.
It's a nasty forecast.
It's been nasty.
Gonna be nasty.
And that Yankee the
Bugging is playing possum on
us here the last two days,
snuck out there
and caught a fish.
That's not the Southern way.
JIMMIE:
He told me over the
phone that he was not going to
go fishing the last two days.
And as soon as I
hung up the phone,
he pulled out the
slip and went fishing.
His two fish burned
through half a ton of quota
out there alone.
Can't keep letting
him do that.
Now, we're in a free-for-all
just because of Bobby.
ADAM: I think Bobby on
the Reel E' bugging really
put the pressure on everybody.
Yeah, I probably wouldn't
go right now if it
wasn't for him.
NICK: We're going out.
Everybody else is
going so we got to go.
It's supposed to be
(bleep) gnarly tonight.
BRANDAN: Stupid. Stupid.
JIMMIE: Okay, you're tough.
You made it across the bar.
He went out there two days
in a row and caught the fish.
Congratulations to him.
There's a fine line between
being tough and being stupid.
And I think he was
in the stupid, so.
NICK: I guess this means
we're gonna have to start
going in 8 and 9-foot now.
CLIFF:
That's cool, Bobby.
NICK: Yeah. Real cool.
JIMMIE: No sense on
turning on people's back.
But he's done it so he's gonna
get what's coming for him.
DREW: You know, our goal
ultimately is to catch fish,
not to piss the other guys
off because we're catching,
you know?
But that's the way it is.
BOBBY: But you know
what we're gonna do?
We're gonna go
every day we can go.
We're gonna fish.
You'd be a fool not to go
get one if your boat can do it.
BRITTON: Him not playing
on a level playing field
is no good.
DIRTY:
Bobby Buggins is a (bleep).
BILLON:
Yeah, he is.
DIRTY: Took our diesel-powered
vomitorium out here today.
This is probably what
the inlet look like.
Just choppy, rough.
GREG: Oh, great.
Thick-ass fog.
This is (bleep).
DIRTY: See what happens.
If we get one on today our
difficulty is gonna be in the
fight with all this swell.
GREG: All right, we're here.
Found the change, gulf stream
change with 72 degrees,
just outside the bottom
down here on the 460.
It seems like the fish
are gonna be close to
the change somewhere.
There's a couple boats
fishing up above me and Shack
is holding from up above.
BILLON: Look out.
GREG:
We're all working together.
We always have.
And the last couple of trips,
Bobby decided to leave
without telling anybody.
Part of the reason we
all work together is because
we don't have a whole
lot of quota this year.
Bobby went behind
all our backs.
And now half a ton
of quota is gone.
It's gloves off
from here on out.
We said, "Okay.
If the weather's crappy I
guess we got to go anyway.
Otherwise, we're gonna
be falling behind."
And I don't want to fall
behind to the exterminator.
BILLON:
(bleep) Bobby, dude.
BILLON: We don't
need to be here.
GREG: But we're here now.
Let's see what we can find.
There's a mark
right there, 15 fathom.
BILLON: Oh, good.
DIRTY: Coming in.
GREG: Oh, that would be sweet.
That could be a tuna.
Set out get a bite right away,
that would be beautiful.
(beeping)
That's what we're
talking about.
BILLON:
Come on, baby.
(reel unspooling rapidly)
DIRTY: Left long! Left long!
Piled on it!
GREG: Real one, baby.
DIRTY: Screamer on here.
BILLON: Woo!
GREG: Yeah, baby!
Got him on.
I think this is the one
we were looking for.
GREG: There's a mark
right there, 15 fathom.
That's what we're
talking about.
BILLON:
Come on, baby!
(reel unspooling rapidly)
DIRTY: Left long! Left long!
Piled on it!
GREG: Real one, baby.
DIRTY: Screamer on here.
BILLON: Woo!
GREG: Yeah, baby!
Got him on. 813-427.
NICK: Should be right up
over our bow a little ways.
ERIC: Where we at?
ADAM: 517-782.
ERIC: We're here.
ADAM: Sure would like to get
a bite here today before dark.
BRITTON: Keep me apprised
of your bite, Frenzy.
GREG: I think this
is the one we were looking for.
DIRTY:
Feels like a real one.
Got half a spool of
line out right now,
so I think we'll
get lucky here.
Oh, I hope he hangs on it.
GREG: It's kind of
tough because we're right
in the change, you know.
BILLON: Yeah.
GREG:
We like to fish on
temperature breaks because the
fish will follow the change,
but the seas build
a whole lot quicker.
Sea like this when you
hook a fish, it just,
it makes it that much
tougher to fight them.
If I can get away from
this change, we'll be okay.
I can't get around here.
BILLON:
Maybe he'll settle down.
DIRTY: Watch out. Watch out.
GREG: This is
challenging here today.
Come down and join the party.
DIRTY: Safety level
under control.
BILLON: You know, we
got some big swells,
it's foggy there's current.
It's just not optimum
conditions but,
good enough to come out
here and get a bite,
so we're gonna
see what happens.
DIRTY: Big fish,
huge sea, foggy.
Like hunting buffalo
with a blindfold.
GREG: We finally got him
where we got him fairly close.
And now he's gonna start
pulling us instead of us
driving around to him.
We're gonna see him up
on top here in a second.
(tension snap)
GREG: Oh, no, you
gotta be kidding me.
BILLON: Dammit.
Pulled the hook.
GREG: Wow. That sucks.
No good. No, no Bueno.
DIRTY: Probably had him 200
feet or less from the boat.
Coming up on top, gaining line,
the hook just pulled.
GREG: Son of a (bleep)!
DIRTY: It's part of it.
BILLON: I'm just
hoping we can get another
bite here before dark.
GREG: First bite of the day
for anybody in the fleet and
we pulled him off.
GREG:
That one did not work out.
NICK: That sucks.
BRITTON: That stinks, Frenzy.
JOHN-MICHAEL:
Greg lost his fish?
ADAM: Yeah.
JOHN-MICHAEL: Probably because
it's a little swelly out here.
ADAM: Yeah.
BOBBY: I want to get
on this bite, man.
Where you at?
GREG: Bobby texted me
this morning and said,
"Are you mad at me?"
BOBBY: Come back.
GREG: I don't plan
on responding to him.
I just know who I can
work with and who I can't.
BOBBY:
Offshore Outlaw,
you on this one?
Come back.
ADAM: If we get a fish,
we're gonna put it out there,
but I think Bobby's
got a lot to learn.
ERIC: He has to live with
the decision he made.
BOBBY: How about
the Fishin' Frenzy,
can you hear me?
GREG:
Bobby can do his thing.
And the rest of the
fleet will work together and
do our thing.
It worked out for
him a couple days,
but it's hard to go it alone.
BOBBY:
Nobody can hear me?
I wish there was a lot
more fish talk and
a lot less (bleep).
NICK: Shut up.
BOBBY: Nobody's answering.
BRIAN: Say, "Does anyone
have any Grey Poupon?"
CLIFF:
This is awesome.
Getting our ass kicked.
I'd really like to
get in before dark 'cause
this is gonna be
hard to navigate
back across
the bar in the dark.
These waves are
bigger than the boat,
way bigger than the boat.
BRANDAN:
All we need is a bite.
See what happens.
NICK: Got to catch a fish.
We're behind.
With the fog like this,
it makes it extra hard.
Honestly, we're limited by
the capabilities of this vessel.
We couldn't have been
out here yesterday.
It was too much for this boat.
I can't see more than 100
yards in either direction.
CLIFF: You can barely see the
tops of them back there and
the fog rolling up on you.
NICK: I'm not
up high like Bobby Bedbugs.
I'm really down low.
He's on a different kind
of boat than I'm on.
He's on a battleship.
I'm right here level
with the waves.
There's a lot of weather he's
gonna be able to fish in and
I'm not gonna be able to go
and that's just part of it.
But we'll make money,
that's the main goal.
CLIFF: It's just a hard
day to go Bluefin-ing,
but hopefully we can
stick it out and get one.
NICK: Wow. Gee-miney!
CLIFF:
I can't see (bleep) nothing.
NICK: I can't see (bleep).
CLIFF:
Did Buggins catch his
fish trolling or chunking?
NICK: I don't know.
CLIFF:
I don't want to sit out
here until it blows 50 knots.
BRANDAN: No.
BRANDAN: Oh!
There's a boat right there!
BRANDAN: (bleep)!
NICK: Oh, (bleep).
BRANDAN: Whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, hey, hey, hey!
CLIFF: Hit the gas!
Hit the gas, Nick!
BRANDAN: Whoa!
NICK: Oh, God.
CLIFF: It's just a
hard day to go Bluefin-ing,
but hopefully we can
stick it out and get one.
I don't want to sit out
here until it blows 50 knots.
BRANDAN: No.
BRANDAN: Oh!
There's a boat right there!
BRANDAN: (bleep).
NICK: Oh, (bleep).
BRANDAN: Whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, hey, hey, hey!
CLIFF: Hit the gas!
Hit the gas, Nick!
NICK: Oh, God.
CLIFF: Hit the gas, Nick.
BRANDAN: Whoa!
NICK: Holy (bleep).
BRANDAN: You gone clear.
Oh, my God.
NICK: Dude, he came out of
the fog like a (bleep) missile.
BRANDAN: Wow!
MAN:
That was a close one.
NICK: I say that's about as
close as it gets, partner.
I never saw you,
you never saw me.
Wow.
(sighs)
CLIFF: Damn,
that was close, Cap.
NICK: Close as it gets.
BRANDAN: It don't
get no closer than that without
(bleep) hitting them.
NICK: That was
(bleep) close boat.
BRANDAN: (bleep), it's 15 feet.
NICK: Yeah.
CLIFF: Good job on
your spotting, B.
NICK: He didn't see us either.
(bleep)
BRANDAN: That's
what I was saying.
CLIFF: Obviously.
BRANDAN:
They weren't even looking.
They were looking behind them.
CLIFF: Brandan's
like, "Boat, boat!"
I'm thinking over there
and all of the sudden,
I look and see the bow stem
rising up over the transom
like, oh, God.
NICK:
Just think if we tried
to fish in the last two days,
Bobby's crazy to have
gone out worse than this.
Very lucky right there that we
didn't collide with that boat.
CLIFF: Damn right.
NICK:
Thanks, Bobby Bedbugs.
ERIC: What do
you want to do, pull them up?
ADAM: Yeah, I guess so.
ERIC: Start making way?
ADAM: We
want to get in there tonight.
ERIC: Yeah. Let's do it.
JOHN-MICHAEL: Pulling them up?
ERIC: Yeah.
JOHN-MICHAEL: All right. Oh.
ADAM: We got to get back
because the tide's gonna switch.
And then when the tide switches,
that bar's
gonna get real nasty,
so we got to back in
at the absolute latest, 11.
So we're gonna have to run
the old boat a little harder
this afternoon and get on back.
JOHN-MICHAEL: Everybody else
might be able to stay out here
another couple hours, but they
can get in before the tide
switches, but we can't.
ADAM: It's disappointing.
Second-guessed my
decision to come out here
in the first place.
Probably shouldn't have came
but Bobby catching those two
fish back-to-back had
me thinking that maybe
this would be worth it.
Doesn't look like we're
gonna fish tomorrow.
It's a short window.
If it's as short as this
window, I'm not coming.
I'm burning more fuel than
I normally do because I'm
running harder trying to
fish these shorter windows,
so it's expensive.
I'm not doing this again.
JOHN-MICHAEL:
Well, we tried, fellas.
We tried.
ADAM: Waste
of my time is what this was.
DIRTY: Woo!
DIRTY: The party's over.
DIRTY: Regrouping is not
the same as retreating.
Remember that.
GREG: I'm gonna look
around for a little bit.
BILLON: Want to have
one rigged up, or?
GREG: Yeah, just.
BILLON: All right.
GREG: I guess I'll look
around a little bit, Nick.
Make a couple circles.
GREG:
Have one ready to drop
down if I see something.
NICK: I ain't seen nothing
since we got out here but that
don't mean there
ain't no fish around.
GREG:
Yeah, I don't have a
whole lot of confidence in it
GREG: But at least some
fish have moved in here.
We know that so.
I marked a couple of
times since we lost our
last fish here.
All we need is one.
NICK:
I'm gonna stick it out
for a while I guess then.
We can't go home empty-handed.
GREG: All right,
we'll give her one shot.
BILLON: We got
everything cranked in.
We're gonna have one
bait ready to drift.
But if we don't see anything
in the next 20, 30 minutes,
we're gonna get out of here.
GREG: I see a
little mark here.
We'll make one drift.
See how it all works out.
BILLON: Want a
balloon or a down rod?
GREG: I think a balloon.
BILLON: Okay.
GREG: Go, I guess go 30.
BILLON: Okay.
(beeping)
GREG: They're coming up
to check you out already.
BILLON:
Got 'em on, got 'em on.
GREG:
Look at that.
How about that, Nick?
We put one down
and we got him on.
NICK: They've got one on.
NICK: If he catches one we
damn sure got to stay then.
BOBBY: Not giving me much, man.
BOBBY: Frenzy's tight.
BRIAN: Is he?
BOBBY: Yeah.
How nice of him to share
some information with Nick.
DIRTY: I didn't expect
that to happen that fast.
We'll take it, man.
GREG: It's acting
kind of sharky, but.
DIRTY: Yeah.
Hopefully it's the right thing.
Hopefully our paycheck's
on the end of that line.
GREG: I
think it's gonna be a shark.
Stranger things have happened.
BILLON: Stranger
things have happened.
GREG: Oh, please be a tuna.
Here, want a break?
He took one long run and we're
just gaining some line on him.
All you feel is weight though.
DIRTY: Yeah.
GREG: Really hard to say.
BILLON: Time will tell.
GREG: Dirty, you ready?
Go ahead.
I kind of like what I see now.
We're gaining every turn here.
BILLON:
Starting to be able
to see him here in a sec.
GREG:
Come on, baby.
Be the right thing.
DIRTY: Swivel's on.
GREG: Come on,
come on, come on.
Green-ass water,
you can't see (bleep).
DIRTY: What's it looking like?
BILLON: I see it.
It's right here.
DIRTY: Swivel's on.
GREG: Come on,
come on, come on.
Green-ass water,
you can't see (bleep).
DIRTY: What's it looking like?
BILLON: I see it.
It's right here.
DIRTY: Let's see what he is.
Right there, tuna, tuna.
Poke him. Poke him.
GREG: Tuna, how about that?
Get him. Nice job.
DIRTY: Tail gaff right here.
GREG: Where are you?
DIRTY:
Right here behind me. Here.
BILLON: Coming to you.
Right here.
DIRTY: I got him.
GREG: To my left.
DIRTY: What side?
GREG: My left.
BILLON: Okay. Okay, he's ours.
GREG: Oh!
BILLON: Woo!
GREG: Pull him in.
(bleep) So how about
that for lucky?
DIRTY: Holy (bleep).
Okay, go ahead.
I think a little
bigger than we thought.
GREG: He's a nice fish.
BILLON: Yeah, he is.
GREG: He's got a
beautiful shape.
Real nice round fish.
DIRTY: See what we got here.
GREG:
99 to the tip.
ALL: Woo!
GREG: Hey, tough day and we
ended up with a good one.
DIRTY: Nice.
99 reasons to go home.
BILLON: Yeah, absolutely.
DIRTY: Man,
proof's on deck here.
Never give up.
Happy to have him. Woo.
BOBBY: Should that
be the bridge straight ahead?
DREW: Yeah.
BOBBY: No (bleep).
DREW: Yeah.
BOBBY: It's kind of fogged in.
No, it is turbulent
with water, man.
DREW: It's 50 yards
out to your left.
BOBBY: I got it.
It's turbulent water, man.
It's like driving in a
washing machine, it really is.
We've really taken
a beating this week.
First the weather.
She is fun.
Now the fleet's mad at us.
(alarm)
Oh, boy.
Not now.
DREW: Is that the water?
BOBBY: Yeah.
All right.
We need to check the radiator.
We may have just
stirred something up, dude.
DREW: All right.
I'm going down to the deck.
BOBBY: I got it from here dude.
DREW: I'll go take
a look for leaks.
BOBBY: Yeah. Wow.
DREW: Hey, Bobby!
The meter on the side
of the radiator is low.
BOBBY: We'll troll
on one engine.
Let it cool down.
We'll be home soon either way.
We got an overheating problem.
You know, these guys in
the last two days, yeah,
they haven't fished, but
they've had the ability to
work on their boats.
To rest up, you know.
We're living on, you know,
ibuprofen and
caffeine right now.
We'll fix this
stuff on the fly.
I mean, there's no time
to take a day and fix it.
We have to fuel up,
clean up, sleep a few hours,
and we're going
again, you know.
GREG: Man, it
feels good to see the dock.
MARY: Hey, guys.
Good to see you again.
DIRTY: Good to see you.
GREG: Happy to be back.
MARY: Got more meat
on the deck here, huh?
GREG: Let's take him up
there and see what we got.
MARY: All right. Come on. Bring him up here
and let's look at him.
GREG: He looks like
a nice fish, Mary.
MARY: He does look
like a nice fish.
GREG: What's the
dressed weight on him?
MARY: Got 429 pounds dressed.
GREG: I like that.
BILLON: Yeah. Cool.
MARY: Very good. All right.
Well, let's see what
this one looks like.
GREG: Sounds good to me.
MARY: All righty.
Here it is.
You know, I'm not as excited
as I thought I was gonna be.
Still it's a nice fish.
You can see the fat
already starting to show up
here in the minors.
Looks like a
little bit greasy.
Let's see, let's see
what this core looks like.
GREG: What the heck?
MARY: All right.
Now that looks pretty good.
Core looks pretty good.
GREG: Yeah.
MARY: Your handling
is always A+, always.
GREG: So what do
you think, Mary?
MARY: I can pay you
$10 a pound.
GREG: That's a
good day's work.
BILLON: We deserve it.
GREG: Good God.
That was a long trip today.
BILLON: Oh, Lord.
GREG: Hey. Thanks, Mary.
I appreciate it.
MARY: Take care.
BILLON: All right, thanks.
MARY: Thank you.
DIRTY: See ya.
GREG: One
step closer to the top, boys.
Bobby better not get too
comfortable up there.
CLIFF:
Dude, I cannot believe
we didn't get a tuna.
NICK: Got to find a mark.
Put it right on him.
BRANDAN: We just
need one dumb fish.
NICK:
It's been rough,
and I'm not just talking
about the weather.
Oh, God that water's cold.
We're in last place,
and we almost collided
with another vessel.
BRANDAN:
Put us on him, Cap.
NICK: But if the fish are here,
we got to try something.
BRANDAN: Y'all want a light?
NICK: No.
There ain't nothing different
that we've been doing.
Just trying to
get a bite here,
make sure we don't hit nobody.
All right, here you go.
Let her go.
Trying to ride around now.
It's blowing rough.
Trying to look for a mark.
We were gonna go home but
Frenzy put a bait down and
hooked something right away.
CLIFF: Not us.
NICK: Yeah. I know.
CLIFF: That'd be awesome.
NICK: The part of it.
Nobody wants to be out
here this time of night.
NICK: Got no choice,
we're behind.
NICK: We got to stay.
(beeping)
Here they come. They're coming.
Yeah, that's big.
He should be all
over that one.
BRANDAN: What was that?
CLIFF: Was that a mammal?
NICK: I don't know, man.
(reel clicking)
Got him on?
CLIFF: I can't see.
(beeping)
(reel clicking)
(reel unspooling rapidly)
Got him on!
NICK: Yeah! Crank on it!
CLIFF: Woo!
BRANDAN: Come on, baby!
NICK: Stop it.
Stop it. Stop it. Stop it.
CLIFF: Bump it ahead, Nick.
Bump it ahead.
Woo, I got soaked
right there, dammit.
Here, you deal with this.
Let me get my jacket
on real quick.
NICK: Okay.
Get to the other side of me.
Turn her a little bit just
so I don't get way up there.
He went into the tide so maybe
he'll come back this way.
There's my mono.
I got the mono on the reel.
CLIFF: All right.
He's changing directions.
NICK:
Yeah. Here he comes.
There's your leader.
CLIFF: All right, Brandan.
You get ready.
There he is.
I see him out there.
NICK:
Yeah. Get ahead of him.
Get ahead of him.
CLIFF: He's getting close.
NICK: Nice.
Real easy. There he is.
Just stay going ahead, Cliff.
Just like that, Cliff.
BRANDAN:
Dag gone, man.
NICK: Take your shot, Brandan.
Nail him!
BRANDAN:
I can't see him!
NICK:
Dart him, Brandan. Dart him!
Go ahead! Go ahead! Go ahead!
BRANDAN:
I don't got a shot!
NICK:
Go ahead! Go ahead! Go ahead!
CLIFF: There he is.
I see him out there.
NICK: Take your shot, Brandan.
Nail him!
BRANDAN:
I can't see him.
NICK: Dart him, Brandan.
Dart him! Go ahead!
Go ahead! Go ahead!
BRANDAN:
I don't got a shot!
NICK: Go ahead!
Go ahead! Go ahead!
You're all right.
Shaking his head and (bleep).
CLIFF: What do
you want me to do?
NICK: I don't know, man.
He ain't ready.
CLIFF: All right.
Tell me when you want
me to take it out of gear.
NICK: Keep going
like you're going,
maybe we'll get lucky,
but damn sure ain't ready.
CLIFF: Gonna get this fish.
NICK: Turn right off of him
and let him peel some drag.
Somehow we got to
get pressure on him.
Too early, you know,
the fish ain't tired yet.
He's black-backing
and swimming.
At least like this,
he's having to
earn it, you know.
He's having to pull us around.
CLIFF: Coming back in.
NICK: He ain't shaking
his head like he was, so.
We just got to take our
time and not get impatient.
Let him pull that
drag some more.
He's ready.
He's so close.
I don't think he can get
us in the tide no more.
There's your leader, Brandan.
Real easy, Cliff.
CLIFF: Yeah.
I'm just trying to not
let him get ahead of me.
All right. There he is, B.
NICK: That's a big one.
- CLIFF:
- Wait for it.
NICK: Stick him, Brandan.
Tail gaff.
CLIFF: Where's he at?
NICK: Grab the dart pole.
Nice job!
Tail rope, Cliff!
Right side of Brandan.
Get on the cleat.
All right, boys!
Good job, Brandan!
Way to stick him, boy!
Woo! All right!
BRANDAN: We earned that one.
NICK: Good job.
CLIFF: Pretty work, buddy.
NICK: Yeah, buddy.
All right.
Pull it, Cliff.
Tighten it up.
There you go.
It's too late to get
back before midnight.
But staying out here was
worth it for the paycheck.
We needed it.
CLIFF: All right. Help him.
NICK: Perfect. Let him go.
CLIFF: Y'all got
a tape measure?
NICK: Bobby better watch out.
He's lit a fire under us.
And if he can jump up
to the top so can we.
CLIFF: 93 inches, boys.
NICK: All right!
CLIFF: That's a nice one.
Nicer than I thought, boys.
We're holding our own.
That's what we need to do.
SCOTT: Woo! Yeah, did it.
So, how was it out there?
CLIFF: The weather sucked.
SCOTT: Yeah, did it?
CLIFF: Yeah. It was rough.
SCOTT: Pretty windy, huh?
CLIFF: Yeah, it was
getting worse too.
SCOTT: Oh, man.
NICK: Stuck it out for
a couple more hours and
it paid off, so.
- SCOTT: Good.
- NICK: All right, you want
to take a look at him?
SCOTT: Yeah, let's do it.
NICK: That's a big forklift.
All right, Scotty,
what does he weigh?
SCOTT: You're
looking at 347 pounds dressed.
NICK: Nice.
BRANDAN: All right.
SCOTT: It's a good one.
NICK: Good, good
marketable size.
All right, you want
to take a look at him?
SCOTT: Yeah,
let's check it out.
NICK: All right, let's do it.
CLIFF: All right.
SCOTT: Okay, you guys.
Not a bad fish at all.
NICK: Nice.
SCOTT: Got a little bit
of fat in the minors.
Decent color.
It'll lighten up a lot
once it's cooled down.
As long as this core is good,
you guys will be
in some good shape here.
NICK: All right.
SCOTT: Nothing
wrong with that.
NICK: Beautiful.
SCOTT: With this being
a little bit smaller,
a little bit more fat in it.
You guys are looking at...
9 bucks a pound.
NICK: Nice.
CLIFF: All right.
BRANDAN: Good.
CLIFF: We'll take it, man.
NICK: I love above average.
I've always been
above average.
SCOTT: Yep.
NICK: Well, thank you, man.
That's great.
SCOTT: All right, no problem.
Good job, guys.
NICK: Bring you
another one tomorrow.
SCOTT: Sounds good.
NICK: Yes, sir.
SCOTT: See ya later.
NICK:
Pretty happy with that price.
We got to worry about
that next bite and try
to land that fish and
try to get money for him.
NICK:
We stuck it out and
earned this one, boys.
BOBBY:
Ah, we got issues, man.
We got big issues.
DREW: That is not good.
That's not good.
BOBBY: Could you turn the
engine over right now as is?
DREW: Yeah.
BOBBY: All right. Stand by.
DREW: Let's try this.
Ready?
(engine stalls and Bobby groans)
BRIAN: Bobby was trying
to charge out of here.
And just went
to start the motor and
she ain't turning over.
Hoping it's minor, but.
DREW: We got a couple blow days?
BOBBY: We don't
have anything, dude.
We should be fishing now.
DREW: I hear you.
BRIAN: It's always
something, man.
BOBBY: Every day you're
out of the water,
it's opportunity cost.
We're losing that
opportunity to catch fish.
Worst-case scenario,
full rebuild.
Probably take about
four days, about $18,000.
I don't want to
(bleep) with it, dude.
DREW: I got some tight
ones over here too I don't
want to (bleep) with.
So right now we're
at a standstill.
BOBBY:
All right. Six crews
just gave a sigh of relief.
We always got to
work harder, bro.
NARRATOR: Reel E' Bugging's
risky move pays
off with two catches,
but their newfound
lead is now threatened by
engine trouble
and a salty fleet.
As both Fishin' Frenzy
and Little Shell get
one fish closer to the top.
Captioned by
Cotter Media Group.
BRITTON: Been nasty,
gonna be nasty.
CLIFF: It's just a hard
day to go Bluefin-ing.
DREW: You got mountainous
of seas out here, man.
BILLON:
Not optimum conditions.
BOBBY: The fish
are out there, man.
I can't sit at the dock.
NARRATOR: One captain
defies Mother Nature...
GREG: Decided to leave
without telling anybody.
NICK: Gonna start going
at 8 and 9-foot now.
ADAM: Sure would like to
get a bite today before dark.
NARRATOR:
And blindsides the fleet...
JIMMIE: There's a
fine line between being
tough and being stupid.
And I think he
was in the stupid.
NARRATOR: With a desperate
grab at Bluefin glory.
BOBBY: I guarantee
you the whole fleet
is out here tomorrow.
BRITTON: Him not playing on a
level playing field is no good.
NARRATOR: But in the
fog of tuna war...
DIRTY: Like hunting
buffalo with a blindfold.
BOBBY: Literally it's
smoke on the water.
NARRATOR: Will the battle...
JIMMIE: Everybody's kind
of turned against him now.
GREG: I just know who I can
work with and who I can't.
NARRATOR: Be worth the risk?
BOBBY: We just got to end
this fight sooner or later.
Conditions are deteriorating.
NARRATOR: This is...
NICK: Dammit.
DIRTY: Look out.
BRANDAN: Oh, there's
a boat right there.
Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!
Hey! Hey! Hey!
NARRATOR:
Wicked Tuna: Outer Banks.
JIMMIE: He's done it,
so he's gonna get
what's coming for him.
NARRATOR: As the fleet
faces more days off the water,
Offshore Outlaw
sits in first place
over ten grand ahead
of Reel E' Bugging and
Little Shell at the
bottom of the pack.
(wind and waves crashing)
ADAM: Well, it looked
like it was all right,
now it's changing for the worst.
As bad as we want
to win this thing,
we got to stay level-headed.
JOHN-MICHAEL: Yeah,
safety first anyway.
ADAM: All these local guys
that fish here ain't leaving.
ERIC: Hell yeah,
we'll sit it out.
The ocean ain't doable.
ADAM: Like, we're not
gonna fish for the next
three or four days
is what it looks like.
Can't have these
short weather windows.
The good thing about
not fishing today with
this weather is.
JOHN-MICHAEL:
Nobody's fishing.
ADAM: Nobody's fishing.
BOBBY: All right,
let's do this, boys!
We're trying to sneak out.
We're at the bottom.
If we don't take a risk.
DREW: We're gonna
stay at the bottom.

We snuck out.
We didn't tell anybody
we were leaving.
DREW: We got a
rung up, you know.
BOBBY: Only way to get back
in this thing is to fish when
no one's willing to fish.

This year, you know,
it's keeping us all in,
but still ain't
nobody making money.
DREW: This outside route
will give us a little better
angle on the bar.
BOBBY: We showed up two years
ago and we won this thing.
And then we come out the
following year and lay an egg.
It was a nightmare
and we came in last.
♪ They say the good die young ♪
So all those people who said
it was a fluke got to say,
"Ha-ha, I told you so."
♪ I'm great and so
they criticize me ♪
I see passage right there.
You know, we want
to shut that down.
I know I can catch
as many fish as anybody
in this fleet, period.
♪ I float like a butterfly,
sting like a bee ♪
All right, you ready?
Let's do this.
Let's do it.
♪ Dogs of war ♪ ♪
We're gonna push and we're
gonna try to break some wills.
Oh (bleep) yeah.
We just happen to have a
high tolerance for pain,
and they fear that.
I know they do.
Hold on. We're good. Oh, boy.
One more dude
for good measure.
DREW: Yeah.
♪ I can't stop
the dogs of war ♪
DREW: Damn!
BOBBY: Whoa!
DREW: We are out!
Yeah, baby!
BOBBY: We're out, boys!
DREW: Yeah, man!
This is how we do it,
sneak one in.
GREG:
The whole risk reward
this year this a whole lot
different than it's
been in the past.
You got all these boats
here sitting on "Go".
I wish we had a few
more days to fish.
DIRTY: Half the year has
already been weather days.
GREG: Yeah, well,
we got to wait for the
wind to stop blowing.
It's blowing 30
offshore right now, so.
BRIAN: Game on!
BOBBY: Hey,
boys, you ready to fish?
BRIAN: Almost.
BOBBY:
Outside of the Outer Banks,
usually you're fishing
structure, but down here,
it's different,
the water's moving.
It's different every day,
but you're looking literally
for temperature breaks
where cold water pushes up
on the hot water.
You got an 18-degree break
in 200-foot of water.
BRIAN: That's what we want.
BOBBY: Let's do this, man.
All right, here we go.
Here we go. Come on, now.
(beeping)
(reel clicking)
(reel unspooling rapidly)
BRIAN: There it is.
There it is.
DREW: Come on.
Come on, get tight.
There he is!
BRIAN:
Going that way.
Bobby!
BOBBY: Yep.
BRIAN: Going that way,
so steer that way.
BOBBY: I got you.
BRIAN: That's him.
BOBBY: Wow.
Stay on him, Brian.
BRIAN:
He took it all the
way down into the backing.
BOBBY: You're tight
though, right?
BRIAN: Yeah, we're tight.
Hell yeah, boys. Got the bite.
BOBBY: Tight and right!
BRIAN: Tight and right.
They said it was
unfishable day,
but we know we
can fish in this.
BOBBY: You know, this Bluefin
fishing is an adventure.
You know, you have
nothing until that fish is
on a tail rope.
But we got a hope
and a dream right now,
which is a lot more than we'd
have if we're sitting at home.
BRIAN: Hey, let me get.
BOBBY: You guys every two
minutes should switch.
Keep fresh arms as fresh.
Crank, baby.
BRIAN: He's coming
this way, so.
BOBBY: He's in the tide, dude.
BRIAN: Yeah,
he's swimming with us.
BOBBY: Get it back.
Get it back.
Risk reward, baby.
Risk reward.
Come on, Drew.
He's getting smoked, Bri.
Swap out.
BRIAN: You ready?
BOBBY: Go ahead, guys.
Stay fresh.
Hey, you guys having fun?
BRIAN: Yeah!
DREW: Oh, yeah.
BOBBY: Are you having fun?
DREW: Yeah!
DREW: Hey, we could be
sitting at the dock.
BOBBY: This is a
lunch pail crew, man.
We don't, you know, we
just go out and fish.
We try and have fun, you know.
We fish better when
we're having fun.
There's a lot of great
fishermen this year,
but I will tell you this,
if we lose it won't be
because we sat at the dock,
I'll tell you that, okay?
BRIAN: He's getting close.
We're getting real close here.
BOBBY: He's up
and down now, kid.
DREW: He's putting it on, dude.
BOBBY: He's gonna bring
us color in a minute.
BRIAN: Yeah, he's coming up.
BOBBY: We're right
where we want him.
BRIAN: Color. I got color.
BOBBY: No (bleep).
BRIAN: Yup.
BOBBY: Damn.
DREW: Oh, yeah. There you go.
There's color now.
BOBBY: That's some
big color, bro.
Look at the size of him.
BRIAN: Drew, you
might be able to get a
shot at him right here.
BOBBY: Drew, get ready.
The right side.
The right side.
BRIAN: All right.
He's right here.
Right here, Drew.
That's it, get him.
Again, again.
DREW: Dart pulled.
BRIAN: Did you get him?
BOBBY: I don't think
you hit him good enough.
BRIAN: Get a gaff.
Get a gaff.
BOBBY: Just get a gaff, Brian.
Just gaff his head.
BRIAN: Don't hit the line.
Don't hit the line.
He's right here.
BOBBY: Relax!
DREW: I got him in the lats.
BRIAN: All right, good.
Put a tail rope on him.
DREW: Ready.
BOBBY: We got to do this fast.
Cinch it, baby.
Drag him in the door?
BRIAN: Yeah, (bleep).
Open it up. Drag him in.
Let's get out of here.
BOBBY: Hold this, man.
You got it?
One, two.
BRIAN: Two, three.
BOBBY: He's in!
BRIAN: We're in the game, boys!
BOBBY: We're back in the game!
Oh!
DREW: Oh, yeah.
Way to go.
BOBBY: Guys, beautiful fight.
BRIAN: Yeah.
Let's get a tape on him, bro.
See what we got.
BOBBY: All right.
DREW: Ready?
BRIAN: Yeah.
DREW: 100 inches.
BOBBY: Yeah! Yeah! We're back!
We're back in the game!
Yeah!
BRIAN: Woo! Bugging, baby!
We're not losers today.
(thunder)
BOBBY:
What's going on, boys?
Bam! Bam!
DENNIS: Wow, nice shape on him.
BOBBY: Yeah.
Pretty fish, 100-incher.
DENNIS: All right.
Well, I'm freezing.
Let's get this
fish off the boat.
BOBBY: Let's get
this big boy up.
We're good.
We're the only one to bring
a fish to the dock today,
so I know that's gonna
help us get a better price.
Wow, it's freaking
miserable out here.
If this tuna has
a fat in the meat,
a nice red tail cut,
and a nice clear core sample,
we should get top
dollar for this fish.
That would be icing
on the cake today.
All right, Dennis.
What's this bad boy weigh?
DENNIS: 501 pounds.
DREW: Yeah, sweet.
Brother, man, that's great.
DENNIS: Let's check it out.
Just a little bit of fat.
BOBBY:
A little bit of fat. Yeah.
DENNIS: You can see
just in the minor lobes.
BOBBY: Well, let's hope
the core is decent.
DENNIS: Exactly, let's see
what the core looks like.
Not perfect, but that's
a really nice core.
BOBBY: Bottom line, Dennis,
what do you think
you can do for us?
DENNIS: It's the only
fish I got today...
I'm gonna pay you $11.
BOBBY: Let's take it.
We'll take it.
DREW: Cool. Great. Yeah, man.
BOBBY: We took a
battle for this one.
DREW: Right. Yeah.
It's a paycheck, right?
BOBBY: We'll take it.
It's miserable out here,
and you know what though,
we had to do it.
We had to go today.
You know, we're falling behind.
But this is what we live for.
You know, when you make
it out safely, get one,
no one else gets one,
just get back safely, whoa.
God.
It's an accomplishment,
it really is.
I don't know if anyone
knows we got him,
but I'm sure the
word's out that we went.
BOBBY: The
fish are out there, man.
I can't sit at the dock.
We're alone,
you know, nobody here.
You know, everyone went
to sleep two nights ago.
They had a one or
two-fish lead on us,
and they may wake up
tomorrow morning and we'll be
tied at the top of the board.
That's the
objective here, you know.
(phone ringing)
Yeah, Jimmie.
JIMMIE: I thought you
weren't going fishing?
BOBBY: What, buddy?
JIMMIE: Come on, man. Really?
BOBBY: I'm getting
under the bridge.
I'll call you on the
other side of the bar.
JIMMIE: Come on, man.
BOBBY: Wish me luck. Bye-bye.
That's Jimmie.
He goes,
"He went to the marina."
"Oh, man."
(Drew laughs)
"Come on, man."
That's all he kept saying.
ELLIS:
What's up with Bobby?
JIMMIE:
He's been slipping out there.
And I can't believe,
it's just not worth it to
me to go out there and take
a chance of hurting somebody.
It sounds like there's
some fish out there but.
TREY:
You need to suck it
up some days, but some days,
Bobby, he goes out there when
it's God-awfully dangerous.
ELLIS: Yeah.
TREY: If he keeps going
out there like that, he's,
he's risking his crew.
That's how you lose a life.
ELLIS: Yeah. I don't.
TREY: I don't want
to go out there and die
through that crap.
ELLIS: Yeah, that's stupid.
If you're going fishing,
it's a collective thing.
Everybody's gonna go.
You win or you lose on
a level playing field.
Not by sneaking out there in.
TREY: Yeah.
ELLIS: Piss poor conditions
and risking lives.
TREY: Yeah.
ELLIS:
It's just, that's stupid.
BOBBY: Hey, I think
I found the water.
That is wild.
I mean, it's amazing out
here where the gulf stream
runs into the regular current.
I mean, the water temperature
jumped 20 degrees.
I mean, when that happens,
it's just, literally
it's smoke on the water.
Wow, this is Medieval looking.
Wow, look at these
waves stacked up, dude.
BRIAN:
Sometimes it's a little
stressful being out here alone,
but it's a small window today,
but if anybody
can do it, Bobby can.
BOBBY: It
will be just like yesterday.
It will be nerve-racking.
I don't fault
anyone who sat out.
Not everyone is
meant for this.
We have the biggest
boat in the fleet.
I know we can do this.
This is risky.
But you know what?
The Bluefin are here
and it's calculated.
(beeping)
Wow, we got big marks here.
Mother lode kind of
stuff right there.
Marks at 100!
Wow. Oh, come on.
Get tight. Get tight.
DREW: I'm here to catch tuna
and chew bubblegum.
I'm all out of bubblegum.
BRIAN: Yeah.
DREW: Hey, Bobby!
BOBBY: Yeah, yeah!
BRIAN: There he is.
There he is.
BOBBY: Yeah, boy!
BRIAN: There he is,
there he is.
BOBBY: All right,
get ready to get on him.
BRIAN: We are tight.
BOBBY: Yeah, boy!
BRIAN: Get him in the boat
is the name of the game now.
Feels good.
He's the right fish.
BOBBY: Hey, Frenzy
just says to me,
"Thanks for the heads up."
Oh!
DREW: Oh!
BOBBY: Oh, they're
getting salty now!
We just got to end this
fight sooner or later.
Conditions are deteriorating.
Winds are picking up.
Wave heights are increasing.
Big roller coming, kid.
Oh, heads up!
Big one, big one, big one.
Like a squall coming
through here, bro.
DREW: We've got mountainous
seas out here, man.
BRIAN: He's coming up, Drew.
BOBBY: Back up
and get him, Brian.
DREW: Good color, good color.
BOBBY: Oh, yeah.
DREW: Oh, he still
got life in him, buddy.
DREW: Trying to sneak
under the boat, Bobby!
DREW: Go, go, go!
BRIAN: Go, go, go, go, go,
go, go, go, go, go, go!
Keep going!
DREW: Keep going! Keep going!
BRIAN: Keep going! Keep going!
Forward, keep going!
DREW: Keep going forward, Bobby!
BOBBY: I'm trying.
DREW: Forward, heavy!
BRIAN: Holy (bleep)!
BOBBY: I'm in forward
as you're saying it,
just so you know.
BRIAN: What was that, bro?
BRIAN: I can hear the engine.
BOBBY: Dude, the boat don't
spin the way you want it to.
It ain't that easy.
Here he comes, Drew.
Right under you.
Get ready.
BRIAN: Right here, swivel's on.
BOBBY: Now! Stick him!
Good!
DREW: Got him.
BRIAN: Got him! Yeah!
Oh, what a hook set, baby!
What a hook set! Woo!
BOBBY: Let's tie
him up here, bro.
BRIAN: Yeah, boy!
BOBBY: Get
something on his tail.
Get a tail gaff.
Tighten that up.
Tighten that up.
Bam!
BRIAN: Bam!
BOBBY: Guess who's going home?
Dude, we're going home!
DREW: Wow. Wow.
BOBBY: We're the only
ones who came out two days in
a row and we got two fish.
You know, we're at
the bottom of the board.
I don't know if it
puts us at the top,
but it certainly
puts us in the mix.
BRIAN: Hey, you ready?
BOBBY: Wow.
All right, big Brian.
DREW: He is fatter.
BOBBY: 99!
DREW: 99, yeah!
BOBBY: Again. Here we go.
I guarantee you the whole
fleet is out here tomorrow.
BOBBY: Whoa, baby!
DREW: Hey, Dennis.
How are you, buddy?
DENNIS: I'm getting an ice
cream headache standing here.
BOBBY: I'll tell
you what, Dennis.
That was the worst trip
in a long time, man.
DENNIS: Were you the only
boat out there today?
BOBBY: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We got lucky, we got bit.
DENNIS: Well, let's get
it off so you can get back
out there again.
BOBBY: Going up, baby. Yeah!
Dennis, what's it weigh?
DENNIS:
518 pounds dressed.
BOBBY: Oh!
BRIAN: Yeah!
BOBBY: I knew it. I knew it.
DENNIS: Let's go see
if it's got any fat.
BOBBY: Yeah.
DENNIS: Not bad, man.
BOBBY: That's a nice fish.
DENNIS: Very, very,
nice meat color here.
Fatty meat fanning
into the majors.
Let's hope for a
good core here.
BOBBY: Come on, Dennis!
DENNIS: Look at that, beautiful.
BOBBY: Oh, pretty fish.
BRIAN: Oh, that's beautiful.
BOBBY: Tell me
how much, Dennis.
DENNIS: It's the
only fish I got today...
I'm gonna pay you $11.
BOBBY: Yeah!
We'll take it, man.
Dennis, thanks.
DREW: Sweet!
DENNIS: Thank you.
BOBBY: Thank you so much.
DREW: Thanks, Dennis.
DENNIS: All right, guys.
Nice work. Okay.
BOBBY: All right, Dennis.
Thank you, pal.
We're gonna pack
out and back out,
we'll get you
another one tomorrow.
BRITTON:
We're headed outta here.
It's a nasty forecast.
It's been nasty.
Gonna be nasty.
And that Yankee the
Bugging is playing possum on
us here the last two days,
snuck out there
and caught a fish.
That's not the Southern way.
JIMMIE:
He told me over the
phone that he was not going to
go fishing the last two days.
And as soon as I
hung up the phone,
he pulled out the
slip and went fishing.
His two fish burned
through half a ton of quota
out there alone.
Can't keep letting
him do that.
Now, we're in a free-for-all
just because of Bobby.
ADAM: I think Bobby on
the Reel E' bugging really
put the pressure on everybody.
Yeah, I probably wouldn't
go right now if it
wasn't for him.
NICK: We're going out.
Everybody else is
going so we got to go.
It's supposed to be
(bleep) gnarly tonight.
BRANDAN: Stupid. Stupid.
JIMMIE: Okay, you're tough.
You made it across the bar.
He went out there two days
in a row and caught the fish.
Congratulations to him.
There's a fine line between
being tough and being stupid.
And I think he was
in the stupid, so.
NICK: I guess this means
we're gonna have to start
going in 8 and 9-foot now.
CLIFF:
That's cool, Bobby.
NICK: Yeah. Real cool.
JIMMIE: No sense on
turning on people's back.
But he's done it so he's gonna
get what's coming for him.
DREW: You know, our goal
ultimately is to catch fish,
not to piss the other guys
off because we're catching,
you know?
But that's the way it is.
BOBBY: But you know
what we're gonna do?
We're gonna go
every day we can go.
We're gonna fish.
You'd be a fool not to go
get one if your boat can do it.
BRITTON: Him not playing
on a level playing field
is no good.
DIRTY:
Bobby Buggins is a (bleep).
BILLON:
Yeah, he is.
DIRTY: Took our diesel-powered
vomitorium out here today.
This is probably what
the inlet look like.
Just choppy, rough.
GREG: Oh, great.
Thick-ass fog.
This is (bleep).
DIRTY: See what happens.
If we get one on today our
difficulty is gonna be in the
fight with all this swell.
GREG: All right, we're here.
Found the change, gulf stream
change with 72 degrees,
just outside the bottom
down here on the 460.
It seems like the fish
are gonna be close to
the change somewhere.
There's a couple boats
fishing up above me and Shack
is holding from up above.
BILLON: Look out.
GREG:
We're all working together.
We always have.
And the last couple of trips,
Bobby decided to leave
without telling anybody.
Part of the reason we
all work together is because
we don't have a whole
lot of quota this year.
Bobby went behind
all our backs.
And now half a ton
of quota is gone.
It's gloves off
from here on out.
We said, "Okay.
If the weather's crappy I
guess we got to go anyway.
Otherwise, we're gonna
be falling behind."
And I don't want to fall
behind to the exterminator.
BILLON:
(bleep) Bobby, dude.
BILLON: We don't
need to be here.
GREG: But we're here now.
Let's see what we can find.
There's a mark
right there, 15 fathom.
BILLON: Oh, good.
DIRTY: Coming in.
GREG: Oh, that would be sweet.
That could be a tuna.
Set out get a bite right away,
that would be beautiful.
(beeping)
That's what we're
talking about.
BILLON:
Come on, baby.
(reel unspooling rapidly)
DIRTY: Left long! Left long!
Piled on it!
GREG: Real one, baby.
DIRTY: Screamer on here.
BILLON: Woo!
GREG: Yeah, baby!
Got him on.
I think this is the one
we were looking for.
GREG: There's a mark
right there, 15 fathom.
That's what we're
talking about.
BILLON:
Come on, baby!
(reel unspooling rapidly)
DIRTY: Left long! Left long!
Piled on it!
GREG: Real one, baby.
DIRTY: Screamer on here.
BILLON: Woo!
GREG: Yeah, baby!
Got him on. 813-427.
NICK: Should be right up
over our bow a little ways.
ERIC: Where we at?
ADAM: 517-782.
ERIC: We're here.
ADAM: Sure would like to get
a bite here today before dark.
BRITTON: Keep me apprised
of your bite, Frenzy.
GREG: I think this
is the one we were looking for.
DIRTY:
Feels like a real one.
Got half a spool of
line out right now,
so I think we'll
get lucky here.
Oh, I hope he hangs on it.
GREG: It's kind of
tough because we're right
in the change, you know.
BILLON: Yeah.
GREG:
We like to fish on
temperature breaks because the
fish will follow the change,
but the seas build
a whole lot quicker.
Sea like this when you
hook a fish, it just,
it makes it that much
tougher to fight them.
If I can get away from
this change, we'll be okay.
I can't get around here.
BILLON:
Maybe he'll settle down.
DIRTY: Watch out. Watch out.
GREG: This is
challenging here today.
Come down and join the party.
DIRTY: Safety level
under control.
BILLON: You know, we
got some big swells,
it's foggy there's current.
It's just not optimum
conditions but,
good enough to come out
here and get a bite,
so we're gonna
see what happens.
DIRTY: Big fish,
huge sea, foggy.
Like hunting buffalo
with a blindfold.
GREG: We finally got him
where we got him fairly close.
And now he's gonna start
pulling us instead of us
driving around to him.
We're gonna see him up
on top here in a second.
(tension snap)
GREG: Oh, no, you
gotta be kidding me.
BILLON: Dammit.
Pulled the hook.
GREG: Wow. That sucks.
No good. No, no Bueno.
DIRTY: Probably had him 200
feet or less from the boat.
Coming up on top, gaining line,
the hook just pulled.
GREG: Son of a (bleep)!
DIRTY: It's part of it.
BILLON: I'm just
hoping we can get another
bite here before dark.
GREG: First bite of the day
for anybody in the fleet and
we pulled him off.
GREG:
That one did not work out.
NICK: That sucks.
BRITTON: That stinks, Frenzy.
JOHN-MICHAEL:
Greg lost his fish?
ADAM: Yeah.
JOHN-MICHAEL: Probably because
it's a little swelly out here.
ADAM: Yeah.
BOBBY: I want to get
on this bite, man.
Where you at?
GREG: Bobby texted me
this morning and said,
"Are you mad at me?"
BOBBY: Come back.
GREG: I don't plan
on responding to him.
I just know who I can
work with and who I can't.
BOBBY:
Offshore Outlaw,
you on this one?
Come back.
ADAM: If we get a fish,
we're gonna put it out there,
but I think Bobby's
got a lot to learn.
ERIC: He has to live with
the decision he made.
BOBBY: How about
the Fishin' Frenzy,
can you hear me?
GREG:
Bobby can do his thing.
And the rest of the
fleet will work together and
do our thing.
It worked out for
him a couple days,
but it's hard to go it alone.
BOBBY:
Nobody can hear me?
I wish there was a lot
more fish talk and
a lot less (bleep).
NICK: Shut up.
BOBBY: Nobody's answering.
BRIAN: Say, "Does anyone
have any Grey Poupon?"
CLIFF:
This is awesome.
Getting our ass kicked.
I'd really like to
get in before dark 'cause
this is gonna be
hard to navigate
back across
the bar in the dark.
These waves are
bigger than the boat,
way bigger than the boat.
BRANDAN:
All we need is a bite.
See what happens.
NICK: Got to catch a fish.
We're behind.
With the fog like this,
it makes it extra hard.
Honestly, we're limited by
the capabilities of this vessel.
We couldn't have been
out here yesterday.
It was too much for this boat.
I can't see more than 100
yards in either direction.
CLIFF: You can barely see the
tops of them back there and
the fog rolling up on you.
NICK: I'm not
up high like Bobby Bedbugs.
I'm really down low.
He's on a different kind
of boat than I'm on.
He's on a battleship.
I'm right here level
with the waves.
There's a lot of weather he's
gonna be able to fish in and
I'm not gonna be able to go
and that's just part of it.
But we'll make money,
that's the main goal.
CLIFF: It's just a hard
day to go Bluefin-ing,
but hopefully we can
stick it out and get one.
NICK: Wow. Gee-miney!
CLIFF:
I can't see (bleep) nothing.
NICK: I can't see (bleep).
CLIFF:
Did Buggins catch his
fish trolling or chunking?
NICK: I don't know.
CLIFF:
I don't want to sit out
here until it blows 50 knots.
BRANDAN: No.
BRANDAN: Oh!
There's a boat right there!
BRANDAN: (bleep)!
NICK: Oh, (bleep).
BRANDAN: Whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, hey, hey, hey!
CLIFF: Hit the gas!
Hit the gas, Nick!
BRANDAN: Whoa!
NICK: Oh, God.
CLIFF: It's just a
hard day to go Bluefin-ing,
but hopefully we can
stick it out and get one.
I don't want to sit out
here until it blows 50 knots.
BRANDAN: No.
BRANDAN: Oh!
There's a boat right there!
BRANDAN: (bleep).
NICK: Oh, (bleep).
BRANDAN: Whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, hey, hey, hey!
CLIFF: Hit the gas!
Hit the gas, Nick!
NICK: Oh, God.
CLIFF: Hit the gas, Nick.
BRANDAN: Whoa!
NICK: Holy (bleep).
BRANDAN: You gone clear.
Oh, my God.
NICK: Dude, he came out of
the fog like a (bleep) missile.
BRANDAN: Wow!
MAN:
That was a close one.
NICK: I say that's about as
close as it gets, partner.
I never saw you,
you never saw me.
Wow.
(sighs)
CLIFF: Damn,
that was close, Cap.
NICK: Close as it gets.
BRANDAN: It don't
get no closer than that without
(bleep) hitting them.
NICK: That was
(bleep) close boat.
BRANDAN: (bleep), it's 15 feet.
NICK: Yeah.
CLIFF: Good job on
your spotting, B.
NICK: He didn't see us either.
(bleep)
BRANDAN: That's
what I was saying.
CLIFF: Obviously.
BRANDAN:
They weren't even looking.
They were looking behind them.
CLIFF: Brandan's
like, "Boat, boat!"
I'm thinking over there
and all of the sudden,
I look and see the bow stem
rising up over the transom
like, oh, God.
NICK:
Just think if we tried
to fish in the last two days,
Bobby's crazy to have
gone out worse than this.
Very lucky right there that we
didn't collide with that boat.
CLIFF: Damn right.
NICK:
Thanks, Bobby Bedbugs.
ERIC: What do
you want to do, pull them up?
ADAM: Yeah, I guess so.
ERIC: Start making way?
ADAM: We
want to get in there tonight.
ERIC: Yeah. Let's do it.
JOHN-MICHAEL: Pulling them up?
ERIC: Yeah.
JOHN-MICHAEL: All right. Oh.
ADAM: We got to get back
because the tide's gonna switch.
And then when the tide switches,
that bar's
gonna get real nasty,
so we got to back in
at the absolute latest, 11.
So we're gonna have to run
the old boat a little harder
this afternoon and get on back.
JOHN-MICHAEL: Everybody else
might be able to stay out here
another couple hours, but they
can get in before the tide
switches, but we can't.
ADAM: It's disappointing.
Second-guessed my
decision to come out here
in the first place.
Probably shouldn't have came
but Bobby catching those two
fish back-to-back had
me thinking that maybe
this would be worth it.
Doesn't look like we're
gonna fish tomorrow.
It's a short window.
If it's as short as this
window, I'm not coming.
I'm burning more fuel than
I normally do because I'm
running harder trying to
fish these shorter windows,
so it's expensive.
I'm not doing this again.
JOHN-MICHAEL:
Well, we tried, fellas.
We tried.
ADAM: Waste
of my time is what this was.
DIRTY: Woo!
DIRTY: The party's over.
DIRTY: Regrouping is not
the same as retreating.
Remember that.
GREG: I'm gonna look
around for a little bit.
BILLON: Want to have
one rigged up, or?
GREG: Yeah, just.
BILLON: All right.
GREG: I guess I'll look
around a little bit, Nick.
Make a couple circles.
GREG:
Have one ready to drop
down if I see something.
NICK: I ain't seen nothing
since we got out here but that
don't mean there
ain't no fish around.
GREG:
Yeah, I don't have a
whole lot of confidence in it
GREG: But at least some
fish have moved in here.
We know that so.
I marked a couple of
times since we lost our
last fish here.
All we need is one.
NICK:
I'm gonna stick it out
for a while I guess then.
We can't go home empty-handed.
GREG: All right,
we'll give her one shot.
BILLON: We got
everything cranked in.
We're gonna have one
bait ready to drift.
But if we don't see anything
in the next 20, 30 minutes,
we're gonna get out of here.
GREG: I see a
little mark here.
We'll make one drift.
See how it all works out.
BILLON: Want a
balloon or a down rod?
GREG: I think a balloon.
BILLON: Okay.
GREG: Go, I guess go 30.
BILLON: Okay.
(beeping)
GREG: They're coming up
to check you out already.
BILLON:
Got 'em on, got 'em on.
GREG:
Look at that.
How about that, Nick?
We put one down
and we got him on.
NICK: They've got one on.
NICK: If he catches one we
damn sure got to stay then.
BOBBY: Not giving me much, man.
BOBBY: Frenzy's tight.
BRIAN: Is he?
BOBBY: Yeah.
How nice of him to share
some information with Nick.
DIRTY: I didn't expect
that to happen that fast.
We'll take it, man.
GREG: It's acting
kind of sharky, but.
DIRTY: Yeah.
Hopefully it's the right thing.
Hopefully our paycheck's
on the end of that line.
GREG: I
think it's gonna be a shark.
Stranger things have happened.
BILLON: Stranger
things have happened.
GREG: Oh, please be a tuna.
Here, want a break?
He took one long run and we're
just gaining some line on him.
All you feel is weight though.
DIRTY: Yeah.
GREG: Really hard to say.
BILLON: Time will tell.
GREG: Dirty, you ready?
Go ahead.
I kind of like what I see now.
We're gaining every turn here.
BILLON:
Starting to be able
to see him here in a sec.
GREG:
Come on, baby.
Be the right thing.
DIRTY: Swivel's on.
GREG: Come on,
come on, come on.
Green-ass water,
you can't see (bleep).
DIRTY: What's it looking like?
BILLON: I see it.
It's right here.
DIRTY: Swivel's on.
GREG: Come on,
come on, come on.
Green-ass water,
you can't see (bleep).
DIRTY: What's it looking like?
BILLON: I see it.
It's right here.
DIRTY: Let's see what he is.
Right there, tuna, tuna.
Poke him. Poke him.
GREG: Tuna, how about that?
Get him. Nice job.
DIRTY: Tail gaff right here.
GREG: Where are you?
DIRTY:
Right here behind me. Here.
BILLON: Coming to you.
Right here.
DIRTY: I got him.
GREG: To my left.
DIRTY: What side?
GREG: My left.
BILLON: Okay. Okay, he's ours.
GREG: Oh!
BILLON: Woo!
GREG: Pull him in.
(bleep) So how about
that for lucky?
DIRTY: Holy (bleep).
Okay, go ahead.
I think a little
bigger than we thought.
GREG: He's a nice fish.
BILLON: Yeah, he is.
GREG: He's got a
beautiful shape.
Real nice round fish.
DIRTY: See what we got here.
GREG:
99 to the tip.
ALL: Woo!
GREG: Hey, tough day and we
ended up with a good one.
DIRTY: Nice.
99 reasons to go home.
BILLON: Yeah, absolutely.
DIRTY: Man,
proof's on deck here.
Never give up.
Happy to have him. Woo.
BOBBY: Should that
be the bridge straight ahead?
DREW: Yeah.
BOBBY: No (bleep).
DREW: Yeah.
BOBBY: It's kind of fogged in.
No, it is turbulent
with water, man.
DREW: It's 50 yards
out to your left.
BOBBY: I got it.
It's turbulent water, man.
It's like driving in a
washing machine, it really is.
We've really taken
a beating this week.
First the weather.
She is fun.
Now the fleet's mad at us.
(alarm)
Oh, boy.
Not now.
DREW: Is that the water?
BOBBY: Yeah.
All right.
We need to check the radiator.
We may have just
stirred something up, dude.
DREW: All right.
I'm going down to the deck.
BOBBY: I got it from here dude.
DREW: I'll go take
a look for leaks.
BOBBY: Yeah. Wow.
DREW: Hey, Bobby!
The meter on the side
of the radiator is low.
BOBBY: We'll troll
on one engine.
Let it cool down.
We'll be home soon either way.
We got an overheating problem.
You know, these guys in
the last two days, yeah,
they haven't fished, but
they've had the ability to
work on their boats.
To rest up, you know.
We're living on, you know,
ibuprofen and
caffeine right now.
We'll fix this
stuff on the fly.
I mean, there's no time
to take a day and fix it.
We have to fuel up,
clean up, sleep a few hours,
and we're going
again, you know.
GREG: Man, it
feels good to see the dock.
MARY: Hey, guys.
Good to see you again.
DIRTY: Good to see you.
GREG: Happy to be back.
MARY: Got more meat
on the deck here, huh?
GREG: Let's take him up
there and see what we got.
MARY: All right. Come on. Bring him up here
and let's look at him.
GREG: He looks like
a nice fish, Mary.
MARY: He does look
like a nice fish.
GREG: What's the
dressed weight on him?
MARY: Got 429 pounds dressed.
GREG: I like that.
BILLON: Yeah. Cool.
MARY: Very good. All right.
Well, let's see what
this one looks like.
GREG: Sounds good to me.
MARY: All righty.
Here it is.
You know, I'm not as excited
as I thought I was gonna be.
Still it's a nice fish.
You can see the fat
already starting to show up
here in the minors.
Looks like a
little bit greasy.
Let's see, let's see
what this core looks like.
GREG: What the heck?
MARY: All right.
Now that looks pretty good.
Core looks pretty good.
GREG: Yeah.
MARY: Your handling
is always A+, always.
GREG: So what do
you think, Mary?
MARY: I can pay you
$10 a pound.
GREG: That's a
good day's work.
BILLON: We deserve it.
GREG: Good God.
That was a long trip today.
BILLON: Oh, Lord.
GREG: Hey. Thanks, Mary.
I appreciate it.
MARY: Take care.
BILLON: All right, thanks.
MARY: Thank you.
DIRTY: See ya.
GREG: One
step closer to the top, boys.
Bobby better not get too
comfortable up there.
CLIFF:
Dude, I cannot believe
we didn't get a tuna.
NICK: Got to find a mark.
Put it right on him.
BRANDAN: We just
need one dumb fish.
NICK:
It's been rough,
and I'm not just talking
about the weather.
Oh, God that water's cold.
We're in last place,
and we almost collided
with another vessel.
BRANDAN:
Put us on him, Cap.
NICK: But if the fish are here,
we got to try something.
BRANDAN: Y'all want a light?
NICK: No.
There ain't nothing different
that we've been doing.
Just trying to
get a bite here,
make sure we don't hit nobody.
All right, here you go.
Let her go.
Trying to ride around now.
It's blowing rough.
Trying to look for a mark.
We were gonna go home but
Frenzy put a bait down and
hooked something right away.
CLIFF: Not us.
NICK: Yeah. I know.
CLIFF: That'd be awesome.
NICK: The part of it.
Nobody wants to be out
here this time of night.
NICK: Got no choice,
we're behind.
NICK: We got to stay.
(beeping)
Here they come. They're coming.
Yeah, that's big.
He should be all
over that one.
BRANDAN: What was that?
CLIFF: Was that a mammal?
NICK: I don't know, man.
(reel clicking)
Got him on?
CLIFF: I can't see.
(beeping)
(reel clicking)
(reel unspooling rapidly)
Got him on!
NICK: Yeah! Crank on it!
CLIFF: Woo!
BRANDAN: Come on, baby!
NICK: Stop it.
Stop it. Stop it. Stop it.
CLIFF: Bump it ahead, Nick.
Bump it ahead.
Woo, I got soaked
right there, dammit.
Here, you deal with this.
Let me get my jacket
on real quick.
NICK: Okay.
Get to the other side of me.
Turn her a little bit just
so I don't get way up there.
He went into the tide so maybe
he'll come back this way.
There's my mono.
I got the mono on the reel.
CLIFF: All right.
He's changing directions.
NICK:
Yeah. Here he comes.
There's your leader.
CLIFF: All right, Brandan.
You get ready.
There he is.
I see him out there.
NICK:
Yeah. Get ahead of him.
Get ahead of him.
CLIFF: He's getting close.
NICK: Nice.
Real easy. There he is.
Just stay going ahead, Cliff.
Just like that, Cliff.
BRANDAN:
Dag gone, man.
NICK: Take your shot, Brandan.
Nail him!
BRANDAN:
I can't see him!
NICK:
Dart him, Brandan. Dart him!
Go ahead! Go ahead! Go ahead!
BRANDAN:
I don't got a shot!
NICK:
Go ahead! Go ahead! Go ahead!
CLIFF: There he is.
I see him out there.
NICK: Take your shot, Brandan.
Nail him!
BRANDAN:
I can't see him.
NICK: Dart him, Brandan.
Dart him! Go ahead!
Go ahead! Go ahead!
BRANDAN:
I don't got a shot!
NICK: Go ahead!
Go ahead! Go ahead!
You're all right.
Shaking his head and (bleep).
CLIFF: What do
you want me to do?
NICK: I don't know, man.
He ain't ready.
CLIFF: All right.
Tell me when you want
me to take it out of gear.
NICK: Keep going
like you're going,
maybe we'll get lucky,
but damn sure ain't ready.
CLIFF: Gonna get this fish.
NICK: Turn right off of him
and let him peel some drag.
Somehow we got to
get pressure on him.
Too early, you know,
the fish ain't tired yet.
He's black-backing
and swimming.
At least like this,
he's having to
earn it, you know.
He's having to pull us around.
CLIFF: Coming back in.
NICK: He ain't shaking
his head like he was, so.
We just got to take our
time and not get impatient.
Let him pull that
drag some more.
He's ready.
He's so close.
I don't think he can get
us in the tide no more.
There's your leader, Brandan.
Real easy, Cliff.
CLIFF: Yeah.
I'm just trying to not
let him get ahead of me.
All right. There he is, B.
NICK: That's a big one.
- CLIFF:
- Wait for it.
NICK: Stick him, Brandan.
Tail gaff.
CLIFF: Where's he at?
NICK: Grab the dart pole.
Nice job!
Tail rope, Cliff!
Right side of Brandan.
Get on the cleat.
All right, boys!
Good job, Brandan!
Way to stick him, boy!
Woo! All right!
BRANDAN: We earned that one.
NICK: Good job.
CLIFF: Pretty work, buddy.
NICK: Yeah, buddy.
All right.
Pull it, Cliff.
Tighten it up.
There you go.
It's too late to get
back before midnight.
But staying out here was
worth it for the paycheck.
We needed it.
CLIFF: All right. Help him.
NICK: Perfect. Let him go.
CLIFF: Y'all got
a tape measure?
NICK: Bobby better watch out.
He's lit a fire under us.
And if he can jump up
to the top so can we.
CLIFF: 93 inches, boys.
NICK: All right!
CLIFF: That's a nice one.
Nicer than I thought, boys.
We're holding our own.
That's what we need to do.
SCOTT: Woo! Yeah, did it.
So, how was it out there?
CLIFF: The weather sucked.
SCOTT: Yeah, did it?
CLIFF: Yeah. It was rough.
SCOTT: Pretty windy, huh?
CLIFF: Yeah, it was
getting worse too.
SCOTT: Oh, man.
NICK: Stuck it out for
a couple more hours and
it paid off, so.
- SCOTT: Good.
- NICK: All right, you want
to take a look at him?
SCOTT: Yeah, let's do it.
NICK: That's a big forklift.
All right, Scotty,
what does he weigh?
SCOTT: You're
looking at 347 pounds dressed.
NICK: Nice.
BRANDAN: All right.
SCOTT: It's a good one.
NICK: Good, good
marketable size.
All right, you want
to take a look at him?
SCOTT: Yeah,
let's check it out.
NICK: All right, let's do it.
CLIFF: All right.
SCOTT: Okay, you guys.
Not a bad fish at all.
NICK: Nice.
SCOTT: Got a little bit
of fat in the minors.
Decent color.
It'll lighten up a lot
once it's cooled down.
As long as this core is good,
you guys will be
in some good shape here.
NICK: All right.
SCOTT: Nothing
wrong with that.
NICK: Beautiful.
SCOTT: With this being
a little bit smaller,
a little bit more fat in it.
You guys are looking at...
9 bucks a pound.
NICK: Nice.
CLIFF: All right.
BRANDAN: Good.
CLIFF: We'll take it, man.
NICK: I love above average.
I've always been
above average.
SCOTT: Yep.
NICK: Well, thank you, man.
That's great.
SCOTT: All right, no problem.
Good job, guys.
NICK: Bring you
another one tomorrow.
SCOTT: Sounds good.
NICK: Yes, sir.
SCOTT: See ya later.
NICK:
Pretty happy with that price.
We got to worry about
that next bite and try
to land that fish and
try to get money for him.
NICK:
We stuck it out and
earned this one, boys.
BOBBY:
Ah, we got issues, man.
We got big issues.
DREW: That is not good.
That's not good.
BOBBY: Could you turn the
engine over right now as is?
DREW: Yeah.
BOBBY: All right. Stand by.
DREW: Let's try this.
Ready?
(engine stalls and Bobby groans)
BRIAN: Bobby was trying
to charge out of here.
And just went
to start the motor and
she ain't turning over.
Hoping it's minor, but.
DREW: We got a couple blow days?
BOBBY: We don't
have anything, dude.
We should be fishing now.
DREW: I hear you.
BRIAN: It's always
something, man.
BOBBY: Every day you're
out of the water,
it's opportunity cost.
We're losing that
opportunity to catch fish.
Worst-case scenario,
full rebuild.
Probably take about
four days, about $18,000.
I don't want to
(bleep) with it, dude.
DREW: I got some tight
ones over here too I don't
want to (bleep) with.
So right now we're
at a standstill.
BOBBY:
All right. Six crews
just gave a sigh of relief.
We always got to
work harder, bro.
NARRATOR: Reel E' Bugging's
risky move pays
off with two catches,
but their newfound
lead is now threatened by
engine trouble
and a salty fleet.
As both Fishin' Frenzy
and Little Shell get
one fish closer to the top.
