Wicked Tuna

ON THIS EPISODE OF WICKED TUNA.

OH, LOOK AT HIM BREAKING.

WE'RE ON!

WE'RE ON, WE'RE ON, BUBBY.

IN THE BROTHERHOOD OF FISHERMEN.

NICK "DUFFY" FUDGE: THIS IS WHY WE DO THIS, TYLER!

THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT, PAL, GOOD LUCK.

GOOD JOB, BUDDY.

KARMA IS KEY.

YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW.

FOR EVERY ACTION, THERE'S A REACTION.

WHOO!

BUT WHEN THE BITE IS ON.

GOT 'EM ON, REEL.

YEAH, BABY.

SMOKED IT!

WE'RE ON.

OH, WE GOT A DOUBLE, DOUBLE, DOUBLE!

IT'S THE GOOD...

NICK "DUFFY" FUDGE: BE THE HERO.

THE BAD...

OH, LET HIM GO, LET HIM GO, LET HIM GO!

BIG WILD FISH OUT ON TOP, REEL IS TURNING AND WE CAN'T

SLOW HIM DOWN.

AND THE TRICKY.

WHERE'S TRICKY DAVE GOING?

HE SUCKS.

IT KIND OF WAS AN (BLEEP) MOVE.

UNBELIEVABLE.

CHASING...

GAFF HIM, GAFF HIM, GAFF HIM!

WOW!

BACK, BACK, BACK, BACK.

REVERSE, BACK UP, BACK UP!

OH GOD, OH GOD.

WICKED TUNA.

AT THE START OF WEEK THREE OF FISHING,

THE YOUNG DUO ON PINWHEEL HAS BEEN THE TOP-EARNING

BOAT TWO WEEKS RUNNING.

IS OFF TO A SLOWER-THAN-USUAL START.

AND NEW BOAT FISH HAWK TRAILS BEHIND THE FLEET.

LOOK, BRO.

WHEN THE SUN GOES DOWN.

THAT'S ALL HERRING, OH YEAH, IT'S WEEK THREE OF FISHING AND

WE'RE THE NUMBER ONE BOAT IN THE FLEET.

WE HAD A GREAT RUN THE FIRST TWO WEEKS,

WE'RE FEELING AWESOME.

MY GOAL THIS SEASON IS TO KEEP MY HEAD DOWN AND FOCUS ON

FISHING, AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DOING.

WE GOT LINES OUT, WE GOT A LOT OF BAIT AROUND LOOKING

FOR A NIGHT BITE BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF FISH HERE.

WE'RE ON PLATTS.

ONE OF THE BEST SPOTS TO CATCH BLUEFIN TUNA EARLY IN THE

SEASON, SO WE'RE HOPING TO STRIKE TONIGHT AND HAVE A FISH

ON ICE BEFORE SUNRISE.

LOOK AT HIM GETTING HIS BEAUTY SLEEP.

OH (BLEEP)!

I'M ON, WE'RE ON.

WE'RE ON, YO, WE'RE ON.

YO, YO, YO, FUDGE, DUFFY.

NICK "DUFFY" FUDGE: HOOKED UP?

WHEW, GOT HIM ON.

NICK "DUFFY" FUDGE: NICE, OH YEAH, THAT'S THE ONE!

THAT'S HIM RIGHT?

NICK "DUFFY" FUDGE: OH YEAH, LET'S GET THIS GUY.

HE HASN'T STOPPED RUNNING, BROTHER.

THERE'S OUR ANCHOR OVER THERE.

IT'S PITCH-BLACK,

WE'VE GOT OUR ANCHOR LINED OUT AND SO DO A BUNCH OF OTHER

BOATS AROUND US.

WE'VE GOTTA MAKE SURE THAT OUR FISH DOESN'T COME IN CONTACT

WITH ANY OF THE OTHER ANCHOR LINES IN THE WATER,

OR WE'LL BE OUT A HUGE PAYCHECK.

FISH IS GOING CRAZY RIGHT NOW.

WE GOT THE ANCHOR LINE RIGHT HERE.

WE'RE TRYING TO BACK AWAY FROM THE ANCHOR.

IF WE GET AWAY FROM THE ANCHOR,

WE SHOULD BE IN GOOD POSITION.

DEFINITELY A BIG ONE.

HAS NOT STOPPED RUNNING.

NICK "DUFFY" FUDGE: ANCHOR LINE'S STRAIGHT AHEAD

OF US, BRO.

ALL RIGHT, LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.

MOVE THE ROD.

NICK "DUFFY" FUDGE: COME AROUND, LINE'S RIGHT HERE.

MOVE THE ROD, LET'S MOVE THE ROD.

GO TO THIS ONE.

GOT ANOTHER GUY'S ANCHOR BALL OVER HERE.

WE CAN'T LOSE THIS FISH IN THIS GUY'S ANCHOR.

RIGHT NOW WE GOT A GUY RIGHT HERE STRETCHED OUT.

WE'RE GONNA GET IN HIS ANCHOR.

BACK THE DRAG OFF THE STUD.

NICK "DUFFY" FUDGE: HE'S GETTING WRAPPED IN IT, BRO.

BACK THAT DRAG OFF, BACK THAT DRAG OFF.

GONNA BACK RIGHT INTO THIS GUY'S ANCHOR BALL.

THANKFULLY, THAT GUY WAS KIND ENOUGH TO GET OFF

HIS ANCHOR FOR US.

THANK YOU.

NICK "DUFFY" FUDGE: THANKS.

RIGHT NOW, OUR FISH IS WRAPPED AROUND

ANOTHER GUY'S ANCHOR BALL AND OUR GOAL IS TO GAFF THE ANCHOR

BALL AND UNTANGLE IT WITHOUT LOSING OUR FISH.

DON'T PUT ANY PRESSURE ON IT.

GAFF THAT THING.

GAFF IT, GAFF IT!

WE'RE GONNA GET SPOOLED, BRO.

WE'RE GONNA GET SPOOLED.

NICK "DUFFY" FUDGE: CUT IT.

NO (BLEEP) THAT.

WE'RE NOT GONNA CUT THE GUY'S ANCHOR.

UNTANGLE HIM, UNTANGLE HIM, HURRY UP!

FISH IS STILL ON, LET GO.

OH, OH, OH, OH.

SOMETHING PULLED, PULLED THE HOOK OR SOMETHING.

WE LOST HIM.

BROKE HIM OFF.

WE HAD SO MUCH MONEY ON THAT REEL.

I DIDN'T WANT TO CUT THE GUY'S ANCHOR AND BE A DOUCHE.

AS MUCH AS IT SUCKS, I'D RATHER LOSE A FISH THEN DO

SOMETHING CRAPPY TO ANOTHER FISHERMAN.

I JUST DON'T NEED THE BAD KARMA ON MY BOAT.

ALL YOU CAN DO IS GO BACK AND PUT THEM OUT AGAIN.

GETTIN' BITES AT LEAST.

HEY, THANKS FOR DROPPING OFF YOUR ANCHOR, I APPRECIATE IT.

COOL, BUD.

NO PROBLEM, SORRY TO HEAR YOU LOST IT.

YUP, TYLER LOST A FISH.

AWESOME.

GOOD GOING THERE, MAN.

YOU MADE THE RIGHT CALL.

IN ALL MY YEARS OF FISHING, YOU KNOW,

I'VE LEARNED ONE THING.

YOU GOT TO TRY AND PUT OUT GOOD KARMA AND USUALLY GOOD

KARMA RESULTS IN GOOD FISHING IN RETURN.

I BELIEVE, YOU DO GOOD THINGS,

YOU GET GOOD THINGS.

I FEEL TRULY BLESSED AND LUCKY, YOU KNOW.

I WAS ON MY OWN WHEN I WAS 15.

I REALLY KIND OF FELT LOST, LIKE I WASN'T PART OF

ANYTHING, YOU KNOW, THAT NOBODY WANTED ME.

I HAD A MISERABLE YOUNGER LIFE.

IT WAS ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE.

I USED TO STAY RIGHT IN THERE.

I HAD A LITTLE, I HAD LIKE A LITTLE AIR MATTRESS.

YEAH, IT WASN'T MUCH, THAT'S FOR SURE.

AND I'LL TELL YOU IT'S NO FUN STAYING IN THERE

AS A LITTLE KID.

THE FIRST THING I KNEW TO DO WAS HIT THE DOCKS BECAUSE

I KNEW THERE WAS MONEY THERE.

I'D SHOVEL ICE TO THE BOAT, SHOVEL BAIT,

I'D DO ANYTHING THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE.

BUT THEN, I'M GONNA BE HONEST,

THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE IS WHEN I MET BRAD.

HE TOLD ME HE'D SEEN A LOT OF SADNESS IN MY EYES AND

HE FIGURED THAT I WAS IN A BAD SPOT AND SO,

HE TOOK ME FISHING TO SEE IF HE CAN HELP ME, YOU KNOW,

AND THAT HE DID.

I THINK FISHING SAVED MATT.

I THINK HE COULD'VE GONE DOWN A LOT WORSE AVENUES.

IF I CAN HELP PEOPLE, I HELP THEM.

IT'S THE WAY THINGS SHOULD BE, YOU KNOW.

IN LIFE, WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND.

WE ALL GOT TO HELP EACH OTHER.

YOU READY?

I GET MY SON THIS WEEKEND,

SO WE NEED A BIG ONE, CAP.

LET'S CATCH ONE FOR SAM, BUDDY.

LET'S GO GET 'EM.

I'M VERY BLESSED TO HAVE A SON.

WE CALL HIM SAM, HE'S 10 YEARS OLD.

I WANNA GIVE MY SON EVERYTHING,

EVERY LAST THING I CAN GIVE HIM,

AND THE ONLY WAY I'M GONNA BE ABLE TO GIVE HIM ANYTHING

IS IF I GO OUT AND CATCH FISH.

HIGH HOPES FOR THIS TRIP.

WE'RE LAST IN THE STANDINGS,

BILLS ARE PILING UP.

YOU READY?

YEAH, BUT WE JUST NEED TO CATCH MORE FISH

TO PROVIDE FOR OUR FAMILIES.

THE ONLY WAY TO GO FROM HERE IS UP.

WE CAN'T GO DOWN.

WE'RE NOT GOING DOWN SO.

LET'S GO GET 'EM.

LOVE, PEACE, CHICKEN GREASE.

LOT OF BIRDS.

I KNOW, SUPER FISHY.

BIRDS ALL OVER.

AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SEASON LIKE THIS,

I BELIEVE THESE FISH ARE STILL IN SCHOOLS OF GREAT

NUMBERS OF FISH.

THERE'S ONE OF THESE BIG SCHOOLS ON PLATTS BANK RIGHT NOW.

COULD DOT COM BE OUT HERE?

DEFINITELY A BLACK BOAT.

I CAN SEE THAT.

DEFINITELY A BIG BLACK BOAT.

SO THERE'S TJ, TYLER.

YEAH, A BIG PILE OF BAIT.

I'LL SIT HERE.
