Wicked Tuna: Outer Banks

On this episode of Wicked Tuna Outer Banks...

Look, see they're crashing.

Come on, baby!

Injured captain, Greg Mayer returns to reclaim his lead.

You guys are slipping.

We're not slipping.

I don't plan on staying in second place.

But he's going to have an uphill battle.

Boom! We are on!

Don't bother me now.

We need this one!

With the clock ticking...

We've got to get to something out of the quota.

Who will cave under pressure?

-You have not been paying attention.

-Dude, I'm stressed off my gourd.

Do your job.

-Dude, I'm done with this dude.

-Take his ass! -Missed him.

What happened with the dart?

And who will catch a monster...

Oh, massive! -That's so cool.

We're looking for a big one.

To change the game?

-Got 'em on. Stick him!

Don't tangle these lines.

This is Wicked Tuna Outer Banks.

I'm gonna need therapy when this season's over.

Northern contender Hot Tuna commands the lead for the third time this season,

with Southern boats Fishin' Frenzy and Little Shell close behind.

Meanwhile Gloucester's recent champion, Pinwheel stews in the middle of the pack.

Dirty, you ever worked in a warehouse, like wrapping stuff?

Yea, yeah, I can.

We got Greg back.

We're going to, uh, see what we can do.

I just, I feel I wanna go under my arm and go right on my shoulder, tight.

Greg wrecked his shoulder real bad, so Jay and I went fishing without him.

We caught two Bluefin.

One, two, three.

And only lost one.

-Yeah, I don't think he's there.

I think that's pretty good.

-Make the tension, I'll spin it.

You want it down or up?

Down, you guys are slipping.

We're not slipping.

My last trip, I finally got the Frenzy in the top spot for the first time this

season, but then I let Dirty and Billon take the boat and TJ got ahead of us,

so now we're in second place.

That's unacceptable.

I've got no choice but to get back in the captain's chair no matter how

much my shoulder hurts.

We're here to regain the crown.

The last couple days at the house, I tried wearing the sling,

I tried not wearing the sling,

and it didn't seem to make much difference one way or the other.

I'm gonna try and just keep it immobilized today and hope for the best.

-If anybody who does not like to be near an exit, please let me know at this time.

Okey-dokey.

The doctor said I've got a tear in my shoulder.

There's nothing he can immediately do to treat it.

So, I wanna be a part of it.

I wanna be out here.

I don't plan on staying in second place.

I'm not, I'm not here to sit at the dock.

Ow!

Son of a (bleep).

Oh, God.

I hope we land in them today.

I don't wanna be out here any longer than I have to be.

Just getting back here to the fishing grounds.

We lost a fish on our last trip and we're in fourth place right now.

Yo, Duffy.

Let's go fishing.

We're now the middle-of-the-pack boat.

It's very frustrating.

With the quota halfway caught already, we're running out of time.

It's imperative that we start catching.

Yo, Duffy. Let's go fishing.

Please, I'm ready to go.

I'm your captain, man. Let's go fishing.

You wanna lay in bed all day?

Okay, listen, I, I, nothing, it's not.

So, I'm here to go fishing.

So let's put the break out and let's go fishing, okay?

Help me set out the stick because that's what we're here to do.

We're here to fish.

We're getting close to the fishing grounds and I need Duffy to have everything ready

to go on the back deck.

Duffy signed up for the grind,

so this is not the time to slack off and take a nap.

We don't have any time to waste.

So I'm asking you to come out and go fishing.

If you don't want to go fishing, you want to lay up in the bunk?

Okay.

-You should steam. That's your job.

-Just (bleep) stop. I should have steamed?

-You're complaining to me about your job?

-I should steam, bud? -Yeah, you should be steaming.

-No, I have, don't have to (bleep) steam.

-You should steam. Well listen, we're gonna set up a stick.

You should steam.

Yes, you do steam, that's part of your job criteria.

-Oh, that's part of my job criteria?

Yes, you should steam.

-You never even (bleep) step foot on the back deck once ever, dude.

-Yeah, I do. I can catch 'em without you, Duffy.

-Tyler's under a lot of pressure in his mind to be number one down South

like we were up North.

I have a mate that I can make take a steam, so I do that.

-Oh, God, dude we got, he screams and yells.

He nitpicks my deck work when he's just stressed out to get out of his own head.

It's not my fault.

I don't, what you do.

When it's time to work, you need to be ready to go to work.

I don't wanna hear you're tired, you're this.

I want to just go fishing and go to work.

(bleep) you.

I have all my (bleep) always prepped by the time we get here.

(bleep) you, dude.

Just watch your left long while I'm gonna tighten this turn.

All right well, I'm looking at the line.

Oh, no, I gotcha.

It's not gonna take very long, Dirty.

-All right, I got one out. -Good. -Get us a 99-incher today.

Let's see if they bite.

Oh, I hope so.

Oh dammit, dammit, dammit, Greg's back.

The Frenzy's in second place right now.

Greg lost to Griff last year and it really scarred his ego.

I think Greg didn't have full confidence in his crew.

He wants to get back out there.

I think he's out to reclaim his trophy.

But if I have anything to do with it, I'm gonna get that trophy.

Damn.

You know, Dirty and Billon performed just like if Greg was on the boat.

And they might, they might even have more fun without Greg being there, who knows?

I knew those guys would catch fish.

This season's been all about redemption for us.

Finishing at the bottom of the fleet last season absolutely sucked.

Winning would be the ultimate prize for us.

I heard Greg's still in pain, but he's back.

He doesn't want Billon and Dirty losing any more ground.

And I'm curious to see how it pans out.

Well, Frenzy's at it again.

He's back with the boys.

The man knows his job.

The red boat is on fire.

We'll just have to see. We're gonna mosey on down.

We're a couple miles from them, maybe we'll have a shot at getting out

of here early today.

That's what we're hoping anyway.

I hated sitting on the dock.

This is the time of year I like to be out here.

I wanna be out here every day I can.

Welcome back, dude.

It's good to be back.

It's good to back.

We're in an old favorite spot of ours this morning.

-Yeah, right here and right there.

That's right.

After being the top dog three out of the last four years,

I wanna take back that number one spot.

And if we're gonna do that, we've got to take back the lead from the Hot Tuna.

And I've got to keep an eye on Little Shell.

I taught Nick a lot about Bluefin-fishing.

He's good.

But he's still not quite as good as me.

-I got a feeling they're gonna be jumping any minute.

It appears to me to be a possible sonar contact.

Maybe we will have possible bait contact.

This looks like what we're looking for.

Come on, baby!

-Come on, you all come eat, food's in the bowl.

That's the meat.

-Come on, right here, left bite.

We got him on.

Woo, we have made contact.

Come on, baby!

-Got 'em on! -Got 'em on! -Got a doubleheader on.

We're on and there's two of them.

Dammit.

Damn.

(bleep).

Billon and Dirty did pretty well with the Frenzy without Greg.

I don't know that they need Greg.

I think Greg, he might be just riding along pretty much as a mascot at this point.

Crazy, baby.

You know one's going out this way, one's going out that way.

It's a doubleheader.

I don't know what's gonna happen.

These fish are unpredictable.

We've got to try to keep them apart.

If the lines cross, they could easily cut each other off.

We'd lose both.

I think you are over.

Watch that line.

-Billon, it appears to be over my line.

Go ahead and switch 'em.

Switch.
