Wicked Tuna

ON THIS EPISODE OF WICKED TUNA.

WHOA!

THE STORM IS COMING...

WHOA!

(BLEEP) MAN!

BUT THE CATCH IS ON.

THAT'S A REAL ONE!

YEAH, WE GOT ONE OVER HERE.

GET OFF, GET OFF!

HOW FAR WILL THESE CAPTAINS GO?

CAN'T TURN BACK NOW.

HOLD ON, HOLD ON, HOLD ON.

BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE.

WE'RE A PRIME CANDIDATE FOR A

LIGHTNING STRIKE RIGHT NOW.

I'M TELLING YOU, YOU BETTER GET DOWN HERE.

THIS FISH JUST DOES NOT WANT TO GIVE UP.

GOT HIM, GET A GAFFE!

IN ONE OF THE MOST REGULATED FISHERIES

IN THE WORLD.

WE JUST HIT A GRAND SLAM.

THESE FISHERMEN FIGHT TO EARN TO A LIVING.

COMING ON US CAP, THEY'RE SCREAMING!

THEY'RE SCREAMING!

CATCHING...

WHOA, WHOO!

OH, MY GOD, DAD!

WICKED TUNA.

ONE WRONG WAVE AND YOU'RE DONE.

WITH FIVE WEEKS OF FISHING LEFT TO GO,

LAST WEEK'S CHAMP HARD MERCHANDISE IS IN

CLOSE ON THEIR HEELS.

PINWHEEL AND ERIN & SARAH CONTINUE TO STRAGGLE

BEHIND THE FLEET.

AND NOW, THE SYNOPSIS AND FORECAST

FOR THE FOLLOWING.

SYNOPSIS FOR NEW ENGLAND WATERS,

A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM THE NORWEST TUESDAY

AND TUESDAY NIGHT.

WEST TO SOUTHWEST WINDS 15 TO 25 KNOTS.

SEAS FOUR TO SEVEN FEET.

SOME THUNDERSTORMS MAY PRODUCE HEAVY RAINFALL UNTIL MIDNIGHT.

IT'S THE CALM BEFORE THE STORM RIGHT HERE.

WE GOT A LITTLE WEATHER WINDOW SO,

IT'S GONNA BLOW 50, NORTHEAST.

IT'S GONNA SCREAM!

WHOO-HOO!

ALL I CAN I SAY IS,

ARE YOU FEELING LUCKY PUNKS?

PRESSURE'S ON.

WE GOT TO MAKE SURE THINGS HAPPEN AND HAPPEN FAST HERE.

GENERALLY, WHEN IT STARTS GETTING NASTY OUT,

YOU GOT A LOW PRESSURE COMING.

THAT LOW PRESSURE CAN TRIGGER THE FISH INTO

A FEEDING FRENZY.

THE QUESTION IS, HOW LOW CAN YOU GO BEFORE IT GETS TOO

NASTY AND YOU JUST NEED TO BE OUT OF HARM'S WAY.

COME ON, FISH.

A LITTLE SPORTY OUT HERE TO TODAY.

IN EIGHT HOURS,

THE WEATHER IS GONNA GET SUPER BAD.

WHEN THE BITE'S GOOD AND YOU'RE COMING DOWN TOWARDS

THE END OF THE SEASON, WE DO PUSH THE LIMITS.

OUR PLAN THIS WEEK IS TO GET AHEAD THAT'S WHAT

WE'RE GONNA DO.

WEATHER IS A FACTOR.

WEATHER IS A RISK.

HOWEVER, IT'S A RISK WE'RE WILLING TO TAKE.

IT'S DEFINITELY STARTING TO GET

A LITTLE ROUGH OUT, NO DOUBT ABOUT IT.

I SEE WE DEFINITELY GOT SOME STORM CLOUDS MOVING IN,

MIGHT GET A LITTLE BIT OF THUNDER AND LIGHTNING.

WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO?

YOU GOT TO STAY OUT HERE AND GRIND.

GOOD THING THEY MADE RAIN GEAR.

(BLEEP), DAMN SON OF A BITCH!

DUDE, I ALMOST GOT CRUSHED BY THE BOX.

WHOO-WEE, THERE'S A GOOD ONE.

HOLD ON.

HOLD ON, HOLD ON.

TJ FELL DOWN.

YOU ALL RIGHT?

THIS IS WHAT FISHERMEN IN GLOUCESTER HAVE BEEN

DEALING WITH FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS YOU KNOW IT IS THE

REALITY OF THE JOB YOU'RE GONNA GET CAUGHT IN BAD

WEATHER, YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO FISH SOME ROUGH STUFF

TO MAKE IT HAPPEN.

BIG MARK!

LAST WEEK, WE HAD A FIRE SCARE ON BOARD THAT SENT UP IN EARLY.

WHERE'S IT COMING FROM?

I DON'T KNOW!

SO WE'RE DESPERATE TO MAKE UP FOR

LOST TIME BEFORE THE WEATHER TURNS.

EVERY BOAT OUT HERE IS TRYING TO CATCH AS MUCH AS

THEY CAN TODAY BEFORE IT GETS UNBEARABLE.

THEY'RE ALL OVER THE SCREEN.

GET THAT ONE OUT.

RIGHT TO 120.

BIG MARK!

WATCH THE DOWN ROD, WATCH THE DOWN ROD.

.

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

WATCH IT, WATCH IT, WATCH IT!

WE GOT THEM ON BABY, WHOO!

HOLD ON.

WATCH THIS WAVE, WATCH THIS WAVE!

IT'S REALLY ROUGH, THERE'S BOATS AROUND US,

THERE'S LOBSTER GEAR.

EVERYONE HAS TO BE ON THEIR A GAME IN CONDITIONS LIKE

THIS WHEN IT'S ROUGH.

THEY GOT THEM ON, TJ AND THEM.

THEY'RE ALL GOING CRAZY.

CAN'T SEE.

OH, MY GOD!

HOLD ON.

WE'RE GONNA FLIP OVER.

YEP, YOU'RE RIGHT DUDE.

HE'S GOT ONE ON THE LINE.

OH (BLEEP) HANG ON, WHEW!

DOG'S INSIDE?

YEAH, I LOCKED HIM IN.

WATCH HIS HEAD SHAKES.

OH!

OH, GOD, (BLEEP)!

SHAKING HIS HEAD LIKE THAT.

ACTING WEIRD SHAKING HIS HEAD A LOT.

JUST WHEN YOU THINK YOU HAVE HIM LICKED,

HE'S GOT A LITTLE SOMETHING LEFT FOR YOU, HUH?

ROD'S BOUNCING A LOT.

HE'S EITHER SHAKING HIS HEAD OR HE'S STARTING TO

GO DOWN DEEP NOW.

THERE HE IS GLOWING.

I WANT A GOOD SHOT.

MICHAEL, GET READY WITH THE HARPOON.

GOT IT RIGHT HERE.

SWING IT BACK TO YOUR RIGHT.

THE ROUGH SEA CONDITIONS AND THE BOAT MOVING AROUND AND

POPPING UP AND DOWN ON THE BIGGER WAVES DEFINITELY MAKES

IT HARDER TO LAND A FISH.

I'M PRAYING THESE WAVES DON'T SCREW US WHEN IT

COMES TIME TO HARPOON IT.

COME ON REEL, REEL!

BRING HIM TO YOU, COME ON.

GOT HIM, GET A GAFFE!

RIGHT HERE, ON MY RIGHT.

TAIL GAFF, I GOT HIM GOOD.

I GOT HIM, I GOT HIM.

LIFT HIM UP.

OUT, OUT, OUT.

NICE WORK, GUYS.

NICE WORK, WHOO!

THAT WAS A TOUGH MAN.

WE GOT HIM.

OH, WE GOT HIM, WE GOT HIM!

IT'S PRETTY BIG TO BE TOUGH.

OH, END RESULTS RIGHT THERE, BABY!

PA-POW!

WHEW, THANKS FOR PLAYING.

THERE'S BLUE GOLD HANGING FROM THE CLEAT BACK THERE

AND WE'RE STOKED.

HOPEFULLY WE'LL GET A TURN HERE TODAY.

YOU KNOW, ANY BOAT THAT CATCHES ONE DRIVES

US TO FISH HARDER LIKE, "OH, MAN WE NEED ONE."

THAT'S WHY WE'RE SITTING OUT HERE BROADSIDING IN

THIS CRAP, YOU KNOW?

TJ JUST GOT 'EM.

WOW, HOW ABOUT THEM APPLES?

WE'LL GET 'EM.

THE PLUS SIDE OF ROUGH WEATHER IS WHEN IT'S BIG AND IT'S

PITCHIN' AND IT'S ROLLING THE WIND IS BLOWING,

THAT'S WHEN THE BITE MOST OF THE TIME IS ON.

WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO STICK IT OUT AND WAIT IT OUT.

88 ON THE BUTTON!

THAT'S PERFECT BABY!

I'M GLAD TO HAVE THIS GUY ABOARD.

WELCOME TO THE HOT TUNA, BABY!

SOME THUNDERSTORMS MAY BE SEVERE WITH

DAMAGING WINDS, SMALL HAIL AND HEAVY RAINFALL.

WIND GUST UP TO 40 MILES PER HOUR CAN BE EXPECTED...

THE STORM'S GETTING CLOSER.

HOPE WE GET A BITE BEFORE THE WEATHER.

WE REALLY NEED TO PRODUCE SOMETHING HERE.

THE PRESSURE BECOMES GREATER AND GREATER ON A CAPTAIN.

WE'RE $4,000 IN THE HOLE STARTING OUT THIS TRIP AND

I'VE GOT SAY.

THIS IS ONE OF THE WORST SEASONS I'VE HAD.

OH, PULLED THE HOOK.

PAIN IN THE ASS.

IT'S A SHARK.

WE DIDN'T NEED THAT HAPPEN, THAT'S FOR SURE.

ERIN YOU GOT A COUPLE BALLOONS OR A BAG OR SOMETHING?

WE DON'T HAVE OUR FIRST MATE, BRANDON, THIS WEEK AND

THE EXTRA STRESS THAT PUTS ON ME IS TREMENDOUS.

ERIN!

ESPECIALLY WITH ROUGH WEATHER COMING.

MY DAD IS UNDER A LOT OF PRESSURE.

I'VE NEVER SEEN HIM SO STRESSED.

FROM NOW ON PUT YOUR PANTS AND YOUR BOOTS ON.

ROLL YOUR PANTS DOWN YOUR BOOT SO YOU CAN JUMP IN YOUR BOOTS

AND PULL YOUR PANTS UP.
