Wicked Tuna

Oh, yeah! Got 'em on!

For the first time this season...

Woo, on fire, whoo!

Dot Com Dave is in the lead.

Dot Com is back, baby.

Got 'em!

But the rest of the fleet...

Yeah.

Whoo!

Is on his heels.

Coming under us.

Come on, fish, go down.

This one will put the pressure on Dot Com.

And will do whatever it takes...

To steal the top spot from him.

Ayayay.

This...

Take that, Dot Com.

Is Wicked Tuna.

Yeah!

After a slow start to the season, former champion Dot Com holds the top spot for

the first time this year, but Fish Hawk, Pinwheel, Wicked Pissah

and Hot Tuna have him in their crosshairs.

Meanwhile, Dot Com's former alliance partner, Hard Merchandise,

trails far behind the pack.

I'm done with that. It just hasn't worked out well for us.

We're gonna do our ohing. We do much better that way.

-Yeah. -Our alliance with Dot Com worked out well for him.

-Got him. -But didn't go so good for us.

Can't mark a fish here to save my life.

I don't know what to do.

I didn't wanna tell him I have a fish.

So, we're calling it quits.

Those guys got a big enough lead.

The only way we're gonna come out of this is with some high quality bigger fish.

So, that's what I'm gonna go do.

I'm gonna go fish in Dave's way and let all those other (bleep)

go play with themselves.

It just sucks when you're so behind and you feel like all of the odds are

against you and there's no way to go up from here.

Despite all of our bad luck.

When the going gets tough, my dad doesn't sit around and moan and complain about it.

He rolls up his sleeves and he figures out how to get the job done.

-We're just lulling those guys into a false sense of security.

Dot Com is back, baby.

We're on fire.

We'll catch us some big boys here, which is nice.

-We are. And not only that, but the quality is very good.

Last week.

-Oh yeah! -We caught two beautiful fish.

-Wow! -True giant here!

-And we scored one of our biggest fish of the season.

That's a big badass fish right there.

For the first time this season the Dot Com is in its rightful place in the fleet on top.

Absolutely crushing it.

-This is a honey hole here. Got this spot pretty dialed in.

-I say stick with the plan; keep it going we're on a roll.

-Keep dropping the hammer like we have been.

-We fought our way to the top after a terrible start this season,

now the Dot Com is back and we will not be stopped.

Down and out before and look what's happened.

-Stick, stay, and make it pay. -Make it pay.

TJ (over radio): Hey Tricky Dave you pick me up?

Where the hell is the Hard Merchandise?

Where's the Merch?

We last saw him working with you.

We're about to file a missing person's report over here.

DAVE (over radio): I have no idea.

-That's so (bleep) up. -Sneaky, sneaky.

-The word around the fleet is that Dot Com caught two fish last week and

didn't tell his alliance partner, Marciano.

I was burned by Tricky Dave the same way three years ago.

Oh, look at 'em streaking here.

When I made the mistake of trusting him.

Dot Com, he's got three.

So, he got three today?

He told us that it was dead there.

There was nothing to it.

Sneaky little dude, man.

And just thinking about it again is firing me up.

-Geez. -Hard Merch is nowhere to, no one knows right?

I know where he is.

All by himself to the southeast.

After working with Dot Com Dave, I bet Marciano needs a lot of space.

Somebody's got to knock Dot Com off that pedestal.

-If I can tell you right now, I'd be happy with that.

We're marking right here.

Look there's one.

-What? -There's one at 150 right here.

-He's marking one? What'd you say?

You're marking one?

Marked one at 150 right here.

-Oh yeah. We just, we just marked a fish here.

Oh, my Lord.

-After a terrible last season, we're the number two boat in the fleet and

a large part of that is due to our partnership with the Pinwheel.

Hey, Tyler, we got a wolf pack on the screen eight miles east of you.

The usual suspects are already out here.

You better hurry up.

All right, let's go box 'em in, baby.

Let's get 'em, T.

-All right, Baba. We're in third place.

The race is really tight right now.

All the top boats are within one fish of each other.

It's heated.

Dot Com's on top and I would love nothing more than for Brad and myself to unseat him.

Dude, we're coming in there, dude.

We're sucking up these tunas.

-One hand washes the other. -Come on, Charlie, show yourself.

Dear fishing Gods, I speak to you.

My name is Matt Mattson and I'm praying for a tuna right now.

That was a nice mark on the machine.

-Not for me. Not for just me.

For my family. For my team on the Fish Hawk.

It's a big mark. Definitely a tuna though.

-Please answer my prayer. We need a tuna fish. Amen.

Looking at the floaters.

We're on our toes.

I said a nice prayer, Brad.

Maybe we'll get 'em now.

What's up, girls? What you seeing out there? Is there a tuna out there?

Is there a tuna?

Whoo, baby! Pa-pow!

Got 'em on!

-We started out the season hot but have fallen into fifth place.

Let's get it on board.

We're just a little over six grand behind the Dot Com right now.

Dot Com's sitting in the number one spot that used to be ours

and I definitely want it back.

Wow.

.

We're on, we're on.

We're on!

-Start it up, start it up, we're on!

Right out of Sandro's hands.

-Oh, right out of my (bleep) hands.

-I'm going up. -Yeah, you got to go forward right.

-Watch the bow rod. We don't want to just barely eek out a win this year.

We wanna smoke the competition,

we're gonna have to fight like hell to keep our lead.

-You good what do you need? -(bleep).

It's a bad angle. Very bad angle.

-Is he all the way under? -Right for the anchor.

-I'm still on the anchor! -Oh God.

-Where's he at? -Going straight back.

-He's going for the anchor line.

Get us off the anchor, Dave.

-Give me a minute. -Dave, we don't have a minute.

Grab a gaff.

If our fishing line makes contact with the anchor line,

the fish could easily break itself off.

It would be a shame to lose a fish that way.

We clear yet, Dave?

Not yet.

-Whoo! Crank him up, Jarrett.

-Yeah. -Wild fish, man.

-Up high man. Feels like a lot of weight right, Jarrett?

-Yeah, big fish. -What is this fish doing?

He's acting so wild he just keeps changing directions.

He's down he's up high.

He's over there; he's over there.

We can't get him to settle in.

He won't settle in.

-What a tough fish. -Whoo! There he goes again.

Hopefully this run wears him out.

We're gonna hook up.

I can smell him, I can smell the tuna.

We're gonna hook up right now, Brad.

I know everybody else is gonna be fishing hard, so we got to fish harder.

We just got to keep catching fish, so we don't fall behind.

We're on, fish on, hooked up here, baby.

There we go. We're coming for you Dot Com.

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

Is the anchor clear yet?

-Clear. -He's off and racing now. Let's chase him down.

I'm gonna hop on the rod.

All right, Sandro, I'll take over from here.

Dude, (bleep) need you in my ear saying,

"All right get off, all right get off."

Dave sometimes gets so focused on being number one

he can't see anything else.

The stress of competition gets to everyone, but he's got to chill out.

I do not want to give up the top spot to another boat.

-That'd be nice. -Let's move him over, buddy.

For the first time this season, Matt and I are the closest we've ever been to

proving that we could be contenders.

Landing this fish could make us a top boat, which is a long way from where we started.

We're gonna get 'em, Matt.

-Starting to give you a little bit.

Not much, but a little.

Definitely slowing down.

Super tough fish. Super tough fish.

This fish has got some weight to him.

Big tail. Big shoulders.

85-inch fish's not gonna lap the rod over like that for

an extended periods of time like this.

It's a real one.

-Swivel there he is. Wow, whoo, that was awesome.

-Oh my God, talk about your heart being in your throat.

-Tough fish, man. -I know, right?
