Wicked Tuna

ON THIS EPISODE OF WICKED TUNA.

HANG ON, KEEP REELING, KEEP REELING!

COMING RIGHT AT YA!

WITH ONLY THREE WEEKS LEFT IN THE SEASON.

OH, THE ADRENALINE'S GOT ME, MAN.

I HOPE I DON'T HAVE THE BIG ONE.

THINGS GET CROWDED.

THE CIRCUS IS IN TOWN TODAY,

WE'RE SURROUNDED.

MAKING IT EVEN TOUGHER TO HOOK UP.

WE COULD LOSE THIS FISH AT

ANY POINT IN TIME.

AND EARN THOSE LAST PAYCHECKS OF THE SEASON.

WAY TOO MANY BOATS.

WHICH CAPTAIN WILL LEAD THEIR BOAT TO

A BIG PAYDAY?

EVERY TUNA IN THE OCEAN WE WANT VERY BAD.

DOUCHEBAG.

IN ONE OF THE MOST REGULATED FISHERIES

IN THE WORLD.

WATCH THE LINE, WATCH THE LINE!

THESE FISHERMEN FIGHT TO EARN A LIVING.

BRAD, REEL, REEL, REEL!

THERE HE IS, OH!

CATCHING...

GOT HIM, GOT HIM, GOT HIM.

SHUT UP I GOT HIM.

SHUT UP!

WICKED TUNA.

OH MY GOD, DON'T REEL IT IN!

AT THE START OF WEEK 13,

WICKED PISSAH LEADS THE FLEET FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS SEASON.

BUT THREE OTHER BOATS ARE STILL IN THE RACE.

AND A SLOW SEASON CONTINUES FOR PINWHEEL.

IT'S WEEK 13 OF THE SEASON.

EVERY YEAR AT THE END OF THE SEASON,

BOATS START TO COME OUT OF THE WOODWORK,

TO GET THEIR LAST CHANCE AT SCORING A CHECK.

AT THIS POINT IN THE SEASON COMPETITION

GOES THROUGH THE ROOF.

AND MORE BOATS IN THE WATER MEANS MORE LINES IN THE

WATER AND LESSER CHANCE OF EARNING A PAYCHECK.

SINCE WE HOOKED UP TO A QUAD IN

SHORE LAST WEEK.

THE WORD IS OUT AND NOW EVERYBODY IS HERE,

'CAUSE THEY KNOW THIS IS WHERE THE HOT FISHING IS.

THERE'S BOATS EVERYWHERE THIS WEEK.

THIS IS ONE OF THE WORST SEASONS I'VE EVER HAD,

AND I'M NOT GONNA LET SOME GOOGIN TAKE MONEY

OUT OF MY POCKET.

CATCHING FISH AT TIMES LIKE THESE

IS THE ULTIMATE CHALLENGE.

JUST A SMALL PERCENTAGE OF THE BOATS OUT

HERE ARE ACTUALLY GONNA LAND SOME FISH AND THAT'S

WHAT SEPARATES THE MEN FROM THE BOYS.

I THINK THAT'S TYLER.

YEAH, THAT'S TYLER RIGHT ON TOP OF DAVE.

WE GOT A GOOD EARLY START TODAY.

I KNOW THERE'S GONNA BE A TON OF BOATS HERE,

SO WE HAD TO MAKE SURE WE GET A GOOD SPOT.

LOOKS LIKE THE CIRCUS IS IN TOWN TODAY

THE WHOLE FLEET'S HERE NOW.

YOU'VE GOT PINHEAD OVER THERE, DOT COM'S RIGHT OVER THERE AND

THEN, UH, HOT TUNA'S COMING UP BEHIND US.

TJ'S HERE, SO THE TELETUBBIES ARE HERE.

WE GOT THE STICK FIGURE FROM NEW HAMPSHIRE AND WE GOT

TRICKY DAVE AND THE DOT COM.

NORMALLY I LIKE TO STAY OUT OF THE CROWD AND CATCH FISH ON MY

OWN BUT SOMETIMES YOU GOT TO BE WHERE THE FISH ARE.

DAVE, WHAT DO YOU WANT FOR BREAKFAST?

HOW ABOUT CHEESEBURGERS.

HERE YOU GO.

CHEESEBURGER IN PARADISE!

I CAN DO THE DOUBLE FLIP.

YEAH, THAT WAS A DOUBLE FLIP.

ONE ON THE GRILL, THEN ONE ON THE FLOOR.

IT'S MY FAVORITE BREAKFAST.

.

WE'RE MARKING!

YOU BETTER EAT QUICKLY BOYS!

ONE COMING BACK, STILL FLUTTERING AROUND.

.

HEY WE'RE HOOKED UP MAN!

THAT'S A FISH, WE'RE ON DAVE!

OKAY, GET IT.

SO MUCH FOR BURGERS.

NOW WE GOT TO DROP OUR ANCHOR AND GET AWAY FROM

ANYTHING THAT'S GONNA STOP US FROM GETTING THIS FISH.

LET'S GET HIM.

WHEN YOU'RE HOOKED UP IN A CROWDED FLEET THERE'S AN

IMMEDIATE DANGER OF YOUR FISH GETTING TANGLED IN OTHER

BOATS' LINES, MAKING IT EASY FOR YOU TO LOSE THE FISH.

SO, WHAT YOU GOT TO DO IS WALK THAT FISH OUT OF THE CROWD.

AS SOON AS IT STARTS RUNNING YOU GO WITH THE FISH,

SO IT GOES IN A STRAIGHT PATH AND AVOIDS ALL THOSE OTHER LINES

UNTIL YOU'RE CLEAR OF THE PACK.

YEAH BABY!

HEY GUYS, DOING GOOD.

GOOD WORK BOYS.

YEAH, EVERYONE'S ALL CROWDED IN THIS ONE AREA

LIKE THIS WHOLE BANK IS LOADED WITH TUNA AND THEY ALL CROWD

RIGHT HERE BECAUSE WE WERE HERE.

IT'S WEEK 13 AND FOR THE FIRST TIME THE WICKED PISSAH'S

ON TOP THIS SEASON.

LAST WEEK WE HOOK UP TO A QUAD.

NOBODY IN THE FLEET HAS DONE ANYTHING LIKE THAT THIS YEAR.

SO THEY ALL DECIDED TO FISH RIGHT IN OUR SPOT.

MERCH!

WE CAN'T LET THEM GET BACK TO BACK.

WE GOT TO STOP HIM IN HIS TRACKS.

YEAH, THESE GUYS ARE THE BEST FISHERMEN AROUND

THEY'VE OWNED THEIR BOATS FOR YEARS AND YEARS AND YEARS.

THIS IS REALISTICALLY MY FIRST YEAR.

SO, IF I COULD BEAT THESE GUYS;

HOW ARE THEY GONNA FEEL ABOUT THAT?

NO WAY!

I'M LOOKING AT MERCH'S ANCHOR RIGHT NEXT TO US.

HOW FAR?

A HUNDRED FEET.

OH GOD, WE GOT TO GET OUTTA HERE.

WE'RE ON MERCH'S SPOT.

COME REEL IN SOME LINES WITH ME!

NO, JUST WAIT 'CAUSE HE COULD FIGHTING

THAT FISH FOR EIGHT HOURS.

WILD FISH, WILD FISH, WILD!

WELL WE'RE ON A SCREAMER RIGHT NOW.

NICE MORNING FISH.

IT'S NICE WHEN WE GET THEM THIS EARLY RIGHT AFTER

WE GOT SET UP.

RIGHT NOW, IT'S JUST KIND OF HANGING DOWN

AND DIRTY AND WE'RE DOING THE DANCE,

DOING THE BLUEFIN BOOGIE BABY!

ALL RIGHT GUYS,

LET'S STAY FOCUSED WE NEED THIS ONE.

NOW YOU'RE GAINING ON HIM AND THEN YOU GOT TO WAIT

FOR HIM TO COME AROUND.

GET TIGHT BUDDY,

YOU MIGHT SEE HIM.

YOU MIGHT SEE HIM!

OH, HE'S GONNA JUMP, THERE HE IS.

READY THERE HE IS, OH!

IT'S A NICE ONE!

THAT'S THE FIRST TIME I'VE EVER SEEN ONE LIKE

JUMP LIKE THAT.

THERE HE IS, DEEP COLOR.

NICE SHOT!

THAT'S A NICE ONE.

THAT'S BIGGER THAN I THOUGHT.

ALL RIGHT, WE AIN'T GOT HIM YET BOYS.

JOE, GET ON THE OTHER SIDE OF JAY,

GET A TAIL ROPE ON HIM!

GET IT TIGHT JOE, GOOD JOB!

GOT HIM?

TAIL'S UP!

WE BATTLED, WE CAME, AND WE CONQUERED.

WELL DONE JOE, WELL DONE!

OH, HE'S BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL!

DOWN!

HERE WE GO, HERE WE GO!

ALL RIGHT LET'S MEASURE HIM UP HERE.

I'M GONNA SAY 91?

91!

ALL RIGHT 91 YAY!

91, GOT HIM!

WE GOT THE MONKEY OFF OUR BACK NOW WITH

THIS TUNA NOW IT'S IMPORTANT, WE GET RIGHT BACK OUT THERE

AND GET SOME LINES IN THE WATER WITH ALL THESE BOATS

AROUND YOU GOT TO STRIKE WHILE THE IRON IS HOT OR

YOU'LL GET LEFT BEHIND.

MAN, THEY'RE ALL COMING IN.

SURROUNDED!

THE END OF THE SEASON BRINGS OUT ROOKIE

BOATS THAT YOU NORMALLY DON'T SEE OUT HERE.

WE CALL THEM GOOGINS.

THEY COME OUT HERE TO FISH WITH A COOLER OF BEER.

IT'S NOT A JOB FOR THEM LIKE IT IS FOR US.

NOW, THE FISH HAVE TO GO THROUGH ALL

THESE GUYS' LINES BEFORE THEY GET TO YOURS AND CHANCES ARE

OF THEM BITING YOUR LINE IS NOT GOOD.

AS A CAPTAIN SOMETIMES YOU GOT TO MAKE

THAT BOLD DECISION.

ARE YOU GONNA STAY IN THE FLEET OR ARE YOU GONNA

GO OFF ON YOUR OWN?

THERE'S WAY TOO MANY BOATS HERE NOW.

EVERYBODY'S MUGGED US AND WE GOT BOATS ON EVERY

SIDE OF US.

THAT GUY JUST DROPPED, HE'S RIGHT ON TOP OF US.

THIS GUY IS GONNA DROP RIGHT NOW.

A COUPLE OF BITES HERE YESTERDAY AND EVERYBODY'S

WORKING THEIR WAY DOWN HERE.

THERE'S NOT ENOUGH FISH HERE TO SUPPORT ALL THESE BOATS.

SO, I'M UP FOR GETTING OUT OF HERE.

RIGHT NOW MY GUT FEELING IS; WE GOT TO GET OUT OF THIS

FLEET WE GOT TO GO FIND OUR OWN FISH AND WE GOT TO

MAKE IT HAPPEN ELSEWHERE.

YOU GUYS UP FOR THAT?

I'M DOWN FOR GETTING OUT OF THIS MESS.

WORKS FOR ME.

OH, WE'RE OUT OF HERE.

SCREW THIS!
