Wicked Tuna

We're on, we're on, we're on!

Yeah, go!

On this episode of Wicked Tuna...

Ah!

Ba-boom!

Ooh.

Something just unwrapped.

There are only two...

Weeks...

Left to fish.

I got him, woo!

And while the fight for final paychecks intensifies...

We're on!

Oh, (bleep), dammit!

I don't know what we should do here.

The race to dethrone the king of the Gloucester fishery.

That's never gonna happen.

Tell Dot Com to kiss my (bleep).

Is also heating up.

Fish Hawk, ka-kaw!

This...

Dot Com is twitching.

Is Wicked Tuna.

Game over, thank you for playing.

With only two weeks until the season closes,

Gloucester's longtime top producer,

Fishing Vessel Tuna Dot Com has retaken the top spot from rival Pinwheel.

But last season's lowest earning boat, Fish Hawk,

is out for blood and is less than six grand away

from first place.

Meanwhile, Hot Tuna, Wicked Pissah,

and Hard Merchandise are desperate to catch.

We've been the top producing boat season after season.

We feel right at home on top and we plan on staying right there.

I think our biggest competitor is Tyler.

He's young, he's driven, and he knows how to catch fish.

But I'm not worried.

We got a great boat, and a great crew.

Woo, the competition is fierce.

We always know Dot Com's gonna be right there, but I think we got him this year.

There's only two weeks left in the season.

Dave Dot Com narrowly beat me by 19 bucks last year and I'm not gonna be runner up again.

I'm not gonna sleep till we beat the black boat.

We're not gonna fail.

We're not gonna give up.

Fish Hawk! Ka-kaw!

It makes you feel a lot better in your mind, body, spirit to be consistently

pulling in fish, making money.

It's a lot happier boat this year.

Worst to first, baby!

-We wanna win this thing bad, really bad.

So bad we could taste it right now.

It's time for somebody else to take home the trophy.

This leaderboard has been shifting around all season extremely fast,

so we just got to keep doing what we're doing, capitalize, put fish in the hole and

hopefully it works out for the Hot Tuna.

We've got to stay on it. We've got to stay focused.

We got to stay on the meat, we got to keep getting the bites.

And more importantly, we've got to land them.

It's anyone's game right now.

Right now, it's go time.

Yeah, we've had a good year so far, but we need to do better.

We need to put more meat on the deck.

Everyone's hungry, especially the Wicked Pissah.

Brad, Dave, Dave Marciano, Tyler, TJ.

Do I wish them luck?

Yes.

Do I wish them safety?

Absolutely, but I want those fish that are under their boat.

There's only two weeks left and we're behind in the earnings,

but I catch fire late in the season.

It's not over until the last day.

I'm an old fart now.

I got nothing to prove, all right?

I've been in this game for 30 years.

As long as I'm making a profit; the nice thing about this boat, it's paid for.

We've had a terrible season so far.

We've been at the bottom of the fleet most of the time.

And there's only two weeks left to make a paycheck.

But nobody's giving up over here.

We're gonna hit it hard right to the bitter end.

We're a couple miles from where we were the last couple days.

A little inshore, we're gonna try it.

We got nothing to lose.

We've been pretty much catching fish wherever we go.

There's just two weeks left in the season, the clock's ticking.

Last season was a complete failure for us.

We only managed to catch five tuna and we were the lowest earning boat in the fleet.

But this year, we've been one of the top producing boats.

Nothing could be better than finishing this season on top.

It could be the ultimate redemption for us.

Go for it, home slice.

Right now, two boats stand between us, and the title of Gloucester's

top earning boat, Dot Com and Pinwheel.

All's it would take is one good fish to give us an edge over them guys

going into the homestretch.

-Hokey pokey, we dropped right in.

Come on, baby!

We're marking.

Come on, fish, fish, fish, fish!

-We're on, we're on, we're on, woo, here we go!

Brad he's under the boat. ! Hold on, Brad! Come here.

-Give me this. -He ran under the boat, bro. -Go under the anchor.

-I'll go clear the other lines.

We barely dropped the anchor and got a bite.

If we can put this fish on deck, we not only get a paycheck,

but it puts us closer to taking the top spot.

How sweet it is.

All right, Rap.

I'm gonna run him down a little bit, get him away from these guys.

All right.

Let's go get 'em, Fish Hawk!

Ka-kaw! Ka-kaw!

-We're gonna run him down a little bit.

-Yeah, woo, Fish Hawk, got 'em on!

We're running up on him. He took a whole bunch of line.

Hopefully we'll get this one.

Right now, we're getting close to the end of the season.

And then that's it; we won't be able to make no more money.

-Keep him tight! Keep him tight, Matt.

-Forward right! Forward right, quick, go! That's good.

-There's only six grand between us and the top earning boat, Matt.

This could put us right in the lead.

All right, fight him out.

Easy, easy. Let him run. Let him run.

-Forward right. Go! -Don't lose this fish!

-Go, come on, good, good! -Struggling.

He's struggling pretty hard.

Swimming up on the surface now.

-There's the swivel. I'm getting swivel.

Get the harpoon, Brad, he's charging the boat.

I got swivel!

-Where do you want me to go? -Brad, I got him right here.

Get the harpoon, quick!

-Okay. -Oh, man. -Bring him around again.

Easy with him. Easy with him. Let's get him.

Oh, no. Don't break him off now.

I'm not gonna.

Get him, Brad, get him!

Get that gaff.

Get that rope on him, boy!

Woo, Fish Hawk, baby, woo!

Game over.

He ain't no monster, but it feels good to get another one.

-This fish is definitely gonna give us a chance to dethrone Dot Com.

Worst to first, baby!

It ain't over till it's over.

We got one, baby!

Dot Com, your title's up for the taking, and the old Fish Hawk might be just

the boat to do it this season.

We still got time.

Brad is actually having a very, very good season.

Yeah, I'd say.

Everybody hates a winner.

Plenty of boats have talked the talk over the years,

but they just haven't been able to deliver.

So Brad's caught a fish?

Good on him.

Am I worried?

Not at all.

Dot Com is the best team in the fleet and I'm confident we'll finish as the

top boat once again.

Let's go.

The Dot Com wants to win more than anything.

It's nice. Perfect.

To give him the fear in the back of his mind to know that we're biting at his heels.

82.

Nice.

-Good fish, God bless you, buddy.

-Thanks, God bless you. -Thank you, tuna.

Gut hooked, look at this.

-Really? -Look how far down this is.

-We're on, fish on, woo, two in a row.

-Hooking up with a second fish just charges us up.

Worst to first, baby.

With only two weeks left, this is exactly the kind of score we need.

We got fish hanging.

Fish out here running.

Hopefully, we get another one of these nice 87-inchers.

Right down to the bottom.

I have a fat one on, bro.

.

I think this is the same rod.

Same exact rod.

Same rod we hooked up earlier.

Got one on, Fish Hawk, baby!

Woo!

-He's gonna come at us here, hold on.

Hard right.

Go, quick, forward right, hard right.

That's your left.

That's good, Brad.

-Where is he going now? -He's going straight back. We're good, Brad.

-Take a break, take a break, out the way.

All right.

-Straight (inaudible) wind and tide, he feels like a good one.

Rough out, you got to be a little careful with him.

He's playing the waves like we are.

I can feel it flipping off his jaw and his fins.

Nothing you can really do about it.
