Wicked Tuna

WE'RE ON, YES!

ON THIS EPISODE OF WICKED TUNA...

NICK "DUFFY" FUDGE: GOT 'EM ON!

WE'RE ON, WE'RE ON, WE'RE ON, WE'RE ON!

REEL, REEL, REEL, REEL.

NICK "DUFFY" FUDGE: YEAH, BABY!

WITH ONLY TWO WEEKS LEFT TO FISH...

NICK "DUFFY" FUDGE: ALL RIGHT, COME ON.

IT FEELS LIKE SO MUCH PRESSURE.

BOOM!

THE FIGHT FOR FIRST GETS FIERCE.

ALL I GOT TO SAY IS, "TAKE THAT, TYLER!"

WHOA!

NICK "DUFFY" FUDGE: IT'S A KEEPER.

WHILE THE BATTLE TO AVOID THE BOTTOM RAGES ON.

PUSH IT AWAY, PUSH IT AWAY.

BRAD, YOU'RE GONNA RUN HIM OVER.

WHO WILL THRIVE?

THANK GOD.

AND WHO WILL BARELY SURVIVE?

TJ, YOU RIPPED THE TAPE OFF, DUDE!

THIS IS...

THROW IT!

NICK "DUFFY" FUDGE: LOOK OUT, BROTHER.

OW!

YOU ALL RIGHT, PAUL?

NOT ALL RIGHT AT ALL.

NO, I GOT TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL.

WICKED TUNA.

MIGHT BE IT FOR ME FOR THE YEAR.

AT THE START OF WEEK 11 OF FISHING,

FORMER CHAMPION HARD MERCHANDISE SITS AT THE BACK

OF THE PACK BEHIND FELLOW STRUGGLER FISH HAWK.

HOT TUNA'S MEDIOCRE SEASON HAS THEM IN FOURTH PLACE BEHIND

WICKED PISSAH AND THE YOUNG DUO ABOARD PINWHEEL IS ONLY

$4,100 BEHIND LEADER FISHING VESSEL-TUNA. COM.

THERE'S SO MUCH HERRING HERE.

REALLY?

I SAW WHALES RIGHT BACK THERE, TOO.

GOOD, TODAYS THE DAY.

YEAH, IT MAY BE.

THERE'S ONLY TWO WEEKS LEFT IN THE SEASON AND THE

DOT COM IS ON TOP.

WE'VE ONLY GOT A $4,100-LEAD OVER THE PINWHEEL.

THAT'S ONLY ONE FISH SO WE'RE GONNA GRIND AND NOBODY

IS GONNA CATCH US, ESPECIALLY TYLER.

I'M JUST HAPPY TO HAVE THE FISH THAT WE

HAVE AND I'M HAPPY TO HAVE THE SEASON WE'RE HAVING.

HAPPY THAT DUFFY AND I CAN CATCH SOME FISH.

AND THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS.

WE'RE IN SECOND PLACE BEHIND DOT COM,

SO WE'RE GONNA FISH AS HARD AS WE CAN TO GET

BACK INTO FIRST.

I JUST FEEL LIKE IF I CAN BEAT THEM ON MY BOAT THEN

IT JUST SHOWS HOW MUCH OF A BETTER FISHERMAN I AM.

MAYBE WE CAN GO HERE AND CATCH ONE.

BRING IT BACK TO THE DOCK.

YEAH, IT'S THE END OF THE SEASON,

THERE'S TWO WEEKS LEFT.

WE'RE NUMBER THREE IN THE FLEET RIGHT NOW.

THERE'S NOWHERE ELSE I'D RATHER BE.

I ALWAYS FINISH STRONG AT THE END OF THE SEASON SO

NOW IT'S MY TIME.

IT'S THE OTHER BOAT.

HOT TUNA'S BEHIND US.

YOU KNOW, IT'S CRUCIAL THAT I MAKE THE RIGHT

DECISION AND PUT US IN THE RIGHT SPOT TO GET BITES.

OVER THE PAST FIVE SEASONS ALMOST EVERY OTHER BOAT HAS

ENDED UP BEING GLOUCESTER'S TOP BOAT.

HOT TUNA'S BEEN STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PACK.

WE NEED TO END THIS SEASON STRONG WITH A FEW MORE FISH TO

BREAK THIS PATTERN.

WE GOT TO GO TO WHERE THE FISH ARE AND TAKE

ADVANTAGE OF THEM.

WE GOT TO FINISH HARD, FINISH STRONG HERE,

WE'RE GONNA FINISH STRONG.

WHOO!

THERE'S SOME WHALES HERE.

WE'RE GONNA TRY TO GO GET ON THE WHALES.

WE'RE TRAILING THE FLEET NOW, TWO WEEKS LEFT,

I TOOK A BIG GAMBLE GETTING MY OWN BOAT THIS YEAR.

SO FAR THAT HASN'T WORKED OUT.

MATT AND I HAVE TO GET ON A ROLL IF WE WANT

TO MAKE ANY MONEY.

WELL, WE'RE JUST ARRIVING ON THE SCENE HERE,

UP IN IPSWICH BAY.

RUMOR HAS IT THERE'S BEEN SOME FISH FLYING THROUGH HERE.

OVERALL, THIS SEASON HAS BEEN ONE OF OUR WORST.

WE'VE ONLY GOTTEN THREE FISH.

WE'RE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE FLEET RIGHT NOW AND

I CAN'T FINISH THIS SEASON IN LAST PLACE.

WE JUST GOTTA MAKE SOMETHING HAPPENED.

WE'RE SITTING HERE IN IPSWICH BAY.

WE GOT WHALES BEHIND US, A GOOD SIGN.

WE HAVEN'T SEEN A TUNA YET.

I THINK IT MIGHT BE A GOOD DAY HERE TODAY.

SEEMS NICE WITH THE FISH, YOU KNOW.

SEE 'EM?

THREE OF THEM.

IT'S THE END OF THE SEASON, THERE'S TWO WEEKS LEFT.

EVERYONE GETS TIRED, THEY GET AGGRAVATED,

THEY'RE THINKING IT'S THE END OF THE YEAR,

THEY'RE THINKING OF OTHER THINGS.

WE KNOW THERE'S SOME FISH AROUND,

WE JUST MARKED THREE OF THEM.

THAT'S JUST WHAT WE MARKED.

WHO KNOWS, THERE COULD BE 20 OF THEM WITH 'EM YOU KNOW?

MAKES ME HAPPY.

THAT'S PRETTY GOOD.

I JUST FINISH STRONG 'CAUSE I NEVER GIVE UP,

EVER NOT TILL THE BELL RINGS.

I NEED TO GET RIGGING SOME BAITS HERE.

THEY CAME UP FROM 200 TO 100.

THEY'RE ALL OVER THOSE HERRING,

HOPEFULLY THEY COME BACK AND HIT IT.

THAT'S GONNA BE SOMETHING RIGHT THERE.

HERE WE GO!

GOT IT, NICE WORK.

RICK!

YUP.

COMING OVER YOU, PAULIE.

GOT IT, GO TO THE ROD.

LOVE IT.

THAT IS A NICE FISH.

SURE IS, LOOK AT THAT, YEAH!

AH, THESE DAMN WAVES.

IT'S SO ROUGH RIGHT NOW.

GO AHEAD, WAVES.

JUST DON'T HOLD IT WHEN WE'RE DOING THE WAVES THAT'S

WHAT I'M AFRAID OF.

OKAY.

YOU'RE HOLDING IT AND PARTING HIM OFF.

OW, !

ARE YOU HURT PAUL, YOU ALL RIGHT, PAUL?

NO, I'M NOT ALL RIGHT.

NOT AT ALL, NOT ALL RIGHT AT ALL.

MY ANKLE'S BROKEN.

55 GALLON DRUM FULL OF WATER FELL OVER ON MY LEG AND

BROKE MY ANKLE.

WE'LL GET THIS FISH AND WE'LL GO RIGHT IN,

I GOT TO THE HOSPITAL.

AH, THIS MIGHT COUNT ME OUT FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR.

IT'D BE GAME OVER FOR THE WICKED PISSAH.

WE'LL GET THIS FISH AND WE'LL GO RIGHT IN,

I GOT TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL.

MIGHT BE IT FOR ME FOR THE YEAR.

PULLED THE HOOK.

WASTE OF MY TIME.

PULLED THE HOOK.

NO ONE WANTS TO LOSE A FISH AT THE

END OF THE SEASON,

AND NOW, IF PAUL'S FOOT IS IN FACT BROKEN,

THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN THE LAST FISH OF THE SEASON.

PAUL, DO YOU HAVE TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL?

I DO, OH.

ALL RIGHT.

I'M TELLING YOU.

I FELT IT AND HEARD IT SNAP.

THIS IS A REAL BUMMER.

THIS REALLY, REALLY SUCKS.

WE ARE RUNNING OUT OF TIME.

IT'S ALMOST THE END OF THE SEASON.

ALL RIGHT, WE'RE GONNA BREAK OUT

THE GREEN GLOW.

THE GREEN LANTERN THING.

IT'S JUST SOME GREEN LIGHT THAT YOU HANG OVER BOARD IT

HELPS ATTRACT BAIT SOMETIMES.

IT'S BEEN MORE THAN A MONTH SINCE WE LANDED

OUR LAST BLUEFIN.

WE'RE ONE OF THE BOTTOM TWO BOATS OF THE FLEET SO IT'S ALL

ABOUT PRIDE FOR ME NOW.

HERE JOE.

WE'VE GOT THE GREEN MONSTER OUT THERE NOW,

AND I'M NOT SURE IF IT'S ACTUALLY GONNA MAKE A

DIFFERENCE OR NOT.

IT CERTAINLY CAN'T HELP US DO ANY WORSE.

WELL, WE'LL SEE IF THAT HELPS DRAW SOME BAIT UP.

LET THERE BE LIGHT.

WHAT DO YOU THINK, JAY?

SEE THAT?

SQUID RIGHT THERE.

BIG ONES?

YEAH, BIG ONES.

I LIKE THE ATTITUDE GOING HERE.

I LIKE THE VIBE ON THE FISH HAWK RIGHT NOW.

I KNOW WE DON'T HAVE ANY FISH ON THE BOAT,

BUT FISH HAWK HAS A GOOD ATTITUDE, GOOD SPIRIT.

WE HAVEN'T MADE A WHOLE LOT OF MONEY BUT I DO EVERYTHING I

CAN TO STAY POSITIVE ALL THE WAY TO THE END OF THE SEASON.

YOU KNOW, I GOT TO PAY RENT.

YOU KNOW I GOT A SON.

I GOT A FAMILY AND IF WE DON'T CATCH FISH THEN I

DON'T GET NO MONEY.

WE'RE A LITTLE BEHIND THE EIGHT BALL.

WE'RE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PACK WITH HARD MERCH

BUT WE'RE GONNA RISE UP.

WE GOT NOWHERE ELSE TO GO.

LOOKS LIKE WE NEED A LITTLE SLUMP BUSTER.

YES, WE DO.

THAT IS A FACT, JACK.
