NARRATOR: On this episode...
DUFFY: Yeah, brother!
NARRATOR: Of Wicked Tuna...
MATT: Holy!
DAVE: Turn, turn it, Sandro! Go, go, Sandro!
NARRATOR: While some boats continue to play well with others...
TYLER: The best part is the whole fleet trying to figure out where we're fishing and
they got no clue.
NARRATOR: One might have to quit the game...
DAVE: Oh my God, that ain't good.
NARRATOR: And some...
TJ: What the (bleep) is going on on the Wicked Pissah?
NARRATOR: Are not playing at all.
PAUL: They think we're dead.
NARRATOR: And someone new.
MATT: Giant, giant fish right here.
NARRATOR: Will take the lead.
DUFFY: There he is.
NARRATOR: This...
SANDRO: Keep coming reverse, keep coming reverse!
GEORDIE: Go hard, hard, hit it hard!
Hit him, hit him now! Yeah, baby!
NARRATOR: Is Wicked Tuna.
PAUL: You know, TJ is a spoiled baby.
NARRATOR: Last week's successful alliance between Pinwheel and Fish Hawk mean
the pair start week six of fishing as the fleet's two top earners.
Meanwhile, the partnership between defending champion Dot Com and
family operation Hard Merchandise
paid dividends only for Dot Com, whose top-grossing fish now puts
them just narrowly behind the pack.
MARCIANO (over radio): Get a morning report.
Yeah, Dot Com, you on there, Dave?
DAVE: What's that?
Come in, come in.
MARCIANO (over radio): Yeah, good morning, Dave. Good morning.
It's not looking as good this morning.
There was a lot of bait and (bleep) here, but not seeing the bait today, but...
Last week Dave on the Dot Com suggested that our two boats form an alliance
and share information.
Yeah, yeah, let's, let's team up and work together,
see if, uh, see if things work out.
Dot Com wound up landing the highest-grossing tuna of the week and we wound
up not catching nothing, but that's just fishing.
And in the long run, I'm gonna do everything
I can to make this partnership successful.
Just keep me posted.
I'll do the same.
I'll let you know if we see, start seeing 'em.
DAVE: The first month of fishing was pretty tough on us, but last week we got
a great paycheck and we finally started to close the gap between us and
the top four boats.
Sandro, Geordie, and I are finally hitting our stride once again and
I'm confident we'll do even better this week.
MARCIANO (over radio): We're optimistic, but then again we're tuna fishing,
so that could change.
SANDRO: Dave's trying out an alliance with Marciano, but last week fishing with them
nearby proved to be more challenging than helpful.
-Hard Merch is on. He's hooked up.
-Yeah.
SANDRO: We've been Gloucester's top producing boat more than any other boat
in the fleet.
We don't need anyone else's help to catch fish.
MARCIANO (over radio): We'll be standing by here.
We're gonna work on getting some live baits on the hooks.
DAVE (over radio): I have too many in the well,
so I'd very much be willing to sell you a few.
MARCIANO: It's very generous of Dave to offer to sell us some of his live bait,
but considering we're supposed to be an alliance,
you'd figure he'd be willing to just
give it to us without getting money involved.
DAVE (over radio): All right, all right, see what happens.
MARCIANO (over radio): All right, very good, Dave, standing by.
Thanks for the report. Good luck today.
SANDRO: We don't need luck. We got skill.
TYLER: (inaudible) aboard!
BRAD: Your voice is like lightning.
Like you, you, we hear it here.
And then we hear you over there, like, a three-second delay.
Last trip out, Tyler did us a favor and put us on the meat big time,
so we're keeping this team up going and fishing away from the rest of the fleet.
We shut off the radio and then we still hear what we already heard.
It's like we go back in time, right?
Time travel.
TYLER: Yes. Isn't that crunchy? Wow.
Call it an alliance, call it a marriage of convenience,
it's really just like a party on the water
and it's working out for the both of us.
Wow, that's good.
BRAD: Do you hear it?
TYLER: Yeah, that was good, man.
You should hear that.
BRAD: There's a tuna. Nice. Marked one at 150, right here.
We called Brad into this spot because I want to see him have a successful season.
I want to see him catch fish.
You've got to have a good network and I'm glad Brad's part of mine.
BRAD: There's a tuna down there.
We really need this mark to turn into a bite.
After the season we had last year, we got to build the bank account back up.
(beeping)
(clicking)
(reel unspooling rapidly)
MATT: Fish on!
It's up on the bow rod baby, whoo!
Big tuna are on the line.
-Contact, contact.
TYLER: Fish Hawk's on bro, big bend.
DUFFY: Whoo, they are stretched out.
TYLER: I hope you guys get this one, Fish Hawk.
-He's pulling the boat perfect.
He ain't giving me nothing.
We're gonna have to earn this fish here, boss.
BRAD: Right now it's in the bow.
We'll see if we can fight him in the bow.
He's towing the boat nice right now, real nice.
He's just towing us along, it's flat calm.
We're just hoping to see if we can slow him down a little.
Come to papa.
TYLER: The rod's like, hey, I'm stoked for him.
-Hey, we're both gonna hold it. You're fine.
-Hold my shoulders.
-Okay. Okay. I got it. I got it.
-I got you.
TYLER: Whoo!
-I'm gonna go to the right.
-All right, there he is.
There's the sickle fin.
There he is.
Holy (bleep).
That's a big one, Brad.
-That's all his wake up there?
-I can see him right there?
-Yeah, look at him.
We gotta get him up.
We want this fish, bad.
He's a nice fish.
He's running back out again, that sucker.
He's not ready yet.
-He's going further quick.
You wanna go hard right, Brad.
Keep going. Keep going. I got the leader.
Hard right, Brad.
Go hard right!
-Push it out! Push the rod out!
-Go, Brad! That's good! You're good! Deep color!
Giant, giant fish right here.
-Beautiful fish.
Bring it right here, I'll nail him.
-Yes.
-Gaff. Give me this gaff.
Get the tail rope.
-Whoo.
-Off to see the wizard!
-Whoo, game over!
TYLER: Brad just wrapped him up.
Whoo, ka-kaw, ka-kaw!
-Whoo!
TYLER: I guess them talons are awfully sharp this year.
They're catching 'em.
Brad came with his A-game this season.
I'm gonna go meet those guys, Duffy.
-All right, T.
-Look at this guy.
I've never seen anything like this in my life.
TYLER: Hey, you guys got some meat, man.
-Whoo, snuggle up to her!
TYLER: It's like $7,000 tuna right here.
I'm not just happy for Brad.
I'm stoked.
If he's catching 'em like that and we're sharing the spot and the info,
it's just a matter of time before we have a monster Bluefin onboard, too.
-Hey, I gotta thank you for, uh, putting, putting us, putting us on the meat, bro.
-Yeah, thank you for taking me fishing when I was 18.
I would have never have caught big ones if I didn't go with you, brother.
The best part is the whole fleet's trying to figure out where we're fishing and
they got no clue.
-Whoo.
-Yeah, buddy.
We got the fish all to ourselves.
-This is how it should be, we're competitive guys, but there's a brotherhood
out here, too.
That's what this feels like. We're lifting each other up.
-It's good going, guys.
Really happy you guys are having a great season.
-Not backstabbing, lying, cheating, hiding, stealing.
None of that crooked crap.
-That's a big fish, man.
-95, God bless you.
We love you, have fun in tuna heaven.
-Fish Hawk and Pinwheel making it happen, whoo!
-Whew!
JARRETT: As you could tell, it's not that exciting at the moment.
Waiting for the rod to bend.
TJ: We're in third place and that's not where we wanna be.
So, I really need to find out where the fish are.
It's dead here.
Let's see if anyone else is seeing anything.
The (bleep) is he talking about?
Are you (bleep) kidding me?
PAUL: Just (bleep) range.
Last time out, TJ caught a fish with info I gave him and then Bubby thought it would be
smart to let the whole fleet know where we were fishing.
PAUL: Good job, Bubby, putting that over the airwaves you (bleep) idiot.
Smart play there, big guy.
TJ: That is hilarious.
That guy's (bleep) shot.
Paul loves to tell that story.
I know Paul has been doing this a long time, but I have a hard time believing that his
dad threw him in a rowboat as a kid to catch Bluefin tuna.
Wow.
When I was 10 I was in a rowboat.
JARRETT: Handlining 'em with my dad.
-I just got out of diapers.
I just learned how to (bleep) on the toilet and he put me in a rowboat
and he said, "You go, Paul."
I barely knew how to wipe my ass.
-Oh my God.
-I wanted to play with the other kids in the playground and he made
me go in a rowboat.
I was just a kid.
He stole my childhood.
-I can't breathe right now. Oh.
JOE: Well, we're on our ball. We're fishing again.
Dot Com's fishing right nearby and we're sharing information like how deep the
fish are and how deep they're coming through.
So, anything can happen, we're really optimistic.
I'm up manning the lines, giving my sister and my dad a little break.
Hopefully something's gonna happen real soon.
(clang)
Oh, man. That's not good.
Hey, dad.
(grunts).
I got some bad news.
We were just chilling and it started going white smoke, so I shut the boat down.
(engine starts)
MARCIANO: (bleep).
We may have to (bleep) bag this trip and get while the getting's good.
Just, it ain't (bleep) right.
DAVE: Look at those puffs of smoke! Look!
-Smoky.
-Oh, boy. -Oh, no way.
-That's not good. -Yeah. -He breaks down.
We got to do what we got to do.
We got to go, you can't leave him there.
We have to haul up, go pick him up.
But, I mean I wanna stay and fish, but it is what it is.
Everyone gets a tow.
Our day just ended.
MARCIANO: Well, this trip's just getting more aggravating by the minute.
We just got hit with some serious engine trouble and I'm pretty sure that
means the end, at least for this trip.
And if we're really unlucky, maybe our whole season.
The time for me go to fishing now with confidence.
You know, if I wanted to move or look somewhere, if I'm worried about the
engine breaking and blah, blah, blah.
Yeah, Dot Com you on there, Dave?
DAVE (over radio): Yeah, go ahead.
MARCIANO (over radio): This engine.
All of a sudden it's starting to rudder up.
See if I can get the mechanics to get it running right this time.
-That sucks.
-Oh, man. We're gonna end up towing Marciano in.
It's gonna ruin our whole trip.
MARCIANO: If it was a car you would say the timing was off.
MARCIANO: Well, we got a couple if you want 'em.
DAVE (over radio): Yeah, we'll take what you got.
DAVE (over radio): All right, thank you.
MARCIANO: I notice Dave didn't offer to pay for the live bait he asked for.
Since I know how an alliance is supposed to work,
I'm not about to ask for money for some fish that are
just gonna go to waste otherwise.
-Just as we thought it couldn't get worse.
Now we don't even have a chance to make any money.
-Just need that one hungry tuna, baby.
MAN (over radio): Hey, TJ, you on there?
-Yeah?
MAN (over radio): TJ, you heard from Paulie on the Wicked Pissah.
I kept trying to get him on the radio and so far, nothing.
-What the (bleep) is going on on the Wicked Pissah?
MAN (over radio): I don't know, maybe he's using a different channel?
-I hit the knob.
I didn't even realize.
I said, "Rick, we're on the wrong channel." I don't know.
Where is Payday baby?
-They think we're dead.
PAUL: Because I wanna listen.
You learn a lot when you listen.
-I don't know what's up with Paul on the Pissah right now.
It's like he's vanished into the Bermuda Triangle.
Just totally...
-He's God's gift to tuna fishing, man.
-When I was 10 I was in a rowboat, just out of diapers.
PAUL: Okay, TJ, (bleep) fat (bleep).
Yeah, I'm pissed.
That's why I shut the radios right off.
I don't even talk to them no more.
-He put me on a rowboat. -He stole my childhood.
-There's a mark.
-I just wanted to be a baby.
(reel unspooling rapidly)
-Got 'em on, whoo!
-We're on! It's going.
Yeah, Jarrett!
Jarrett, I'll get that. Get the anchor, I'll get that.
He's going to the right.
-Go forward. Go forward! Forward! Keep going. Keep going.
-You're fine! You're fine! You're fine!
-Keep going. -Watch him now. -Keep going.
-Swing it around! Swing it around!
Watch out! Watch out!
Move the rod over here.
-Get Jarrett. He's got a glove on. I'll take care of it.
-It's headed for the boat!
Back up! Back up!
-Where is he? -This way. -Push it!
-Ease off?
-Wow, he's still kicking ass.
-That was close, man. He was under the boat bad.
It was rubbing, I felt it on the rod.
-Oh yeah, the line's all frayed up, too.
-All right, well, then don't, don't pull on him, too, you know what I mean?
-Yeah well, all the line's frayed up, it's on a, uh, it's on a reel right now.
-All right, get him up as quick as you can.
-Okay.
-Leader. At the tip of the water.
-See him right there on top. -Reel.
-Watch the, watch that line. -There he goes. -Go to the side.
-Michael. -Watch that line.
-Throw it. -Good shot. -Get a gaff.
I'll get a tail rope.
-All right, TJ, my right.
-Oh, still got him.
-Hurry up, hurry up!
You all right?
-Yeah, thank God.
-Did he hit you?
-All right, you're good.
-Yeah, baby, yeah! -Whoo-hoo. -That's how you fish.
-Yes, baby!
-Let's go!
-Good job, game over.
-That fish didn't come to play, but neither did we.
It's too bad Paul's not paying attention because they're biting where we are today.
-That's a beauty.
PAUL: You know, TJ is a spoiled baby.
Ay, ay, ay oh, yeah.
-85 inches, we'll take him. -Meat in the hole!
Good job, bro. Good job, guys.
-Nice one, guys. Nice work.
-Yes, baby, we're on a roll. Boo-ya!
You know, we're right there in the hunt.
So, as long as we keep on trucking everything's gonna be all right.
I, I know we're gonna end up good this year.
Everything's coming together for us, so.
Payday, baby.
MARCIANO: We're gonna go drop off the livies we got.
It'd be a shame to waste 'em.
At least Dave will get to use them.
ANGELICA: We don't know if fixing the boat is gonna take a day, two days,
or even a week.
Being at the bottom of the fleet, right now, we really cant
afford to lose any time on the water.
-Oh, boy. -Great.
-Look at the puffs of smoke. That ain't good.
GEORDIE: Ugh, he's not making it home.
-This alliance could go south real fast.
Sounds like the Hard Merch is having engine troubles and honestly, I'm not surprised.
It's an old boat.
It's just not that dependable anymore.
MARCIANO: It just started acting funny, sitting here.
-Well, let us know. Just, whatever.
We got to pull you in, we'll pull you in.
MARCIANO: The way things are, just get out of here while the getting's good, you know.
-Yeah, we're just gonna stay here, see what happens, but If you get in trouble
just call us on the radio, if we don't answer there, go to the Sat Phone.
MARCIANO: All right, we'll see you guys, good luck.
-All right, thanks guys.
You can smell the fuel right there.
-Yeah. -You smell it? -Yeah.
-Oh my God. -Thats his speed home right there.
BRAD: What's up, Tyler? Welcome aboard.
-That's a sweet boat, bro.
TYLER: Thanks, man. I really appreciate it.
BRAD: Nice. You got the bigger name on it.
MATT: It's like the old Pinwheel on steroids.
TYLER: Yeah, right it does.
Fish Hawk's having a little trouble with their radio,
so I'm coming over to give them a hand fixing it.
BRAD: All right, go ahead.
This is exactly the point of teaming up with another boat to fish.
Not only can you share information and put each other on the meat,
you can actually help each other out in a crisis.
-Hey, Duffy. Test out the radio for us.
DUFFY (over radio): Test. Test. Come in Fish Hawk.
T, you picking me up over there?
BRAD: Tyler knows radios, but maybe there's something he doesn't know we can
help him out with later.
-Hey, you're good.
BRAD: Thanks, Tyler, really appreciate it.
Catch 'em up.
-You got it, man. Anytime.
-We're gonna get one here.
-We better.
-Marciano's limping home right now to deal with his mechanical issues,
but we've benefited by inheriting his live bait.
Perfect silhouette.
-Opportune meal for them to eat, going for the gusto.
-Hopefully we have better luck on this trip than he's been having.
We've had a slow start this season and I already know that Fish Hawk and Hot Tuna
already have a fish, so that puts us even further behind.
-There he is. He's gonna (bleep) eat that.
-He's underneath it?
-He's, no, he's gonna eat our bait hopefully.
All over it. Come on.
-Let's go off like everybody else.
-Why can't we be that lucky?
Unreal. Way up there.
-He's up at, like, 60.
-Maybe he's chasing it up or something, I don't know.
There he is. There he is.
We're on! We're on! We're on!
Start it up. Start it up. There he is.
-Going up.
-Yup. He's there. He's there.
-You're off. -Turn, turn, it's fine. Go. Go. Sandro!
He's going under the boat! Oh, no!
SANDRO: Pick the rod up and move it! We can't lose this fish.
SANDRO: There he is. There he is.
We're on! We're on! we're on!
Start it up. Start it up. There he is.
-Going up. -Yup.
GEORDIE: You're off.
-Turn, turn, it's fine. Go. Go. Sandro! He's going under the boat!
Oh, no!
-Pick the rod up and move it! We can't lose this fish.
-Move over, Geordie. Move over.
-Watch your feet, Dave. -Look at that move.
We're clear?
-Just the three of us catching fish, Dave.
Yes. Go.
-Please.
Just be bigger than 73.
-He's coming right up. -Yeah. -Come on, baby!
-Looks decent. -Good color. Yes. -(inaudible) on reverse.
-Take 'em. There you go. Hurry up. Take the shot.
-I can't even see him. -Come right. Come right.
Walk with me, Geordie.
-(inaudible) my right. -There we go. -Yeah.
-Wrap him up. Nice job, guys.
-That's what I'm talking about.
-Let's go get another jumbo!
Yeah, we don't need help catching fish, whoo!
-All right, good job, guys.
-Good job.
-Those things are wrastly little bastards.
-Dude, that fish was all over the place.
Small but they fight, Geordie.
-Those little ones are a pain in the ass.
-Looks like the Hard Merch and Dot Com alliance has finally paid off.
Oh boy.
But without Marciano's bait, we would never have caught it.
All right, two, three.
-Square it up.
-76 and three quarter.
-Yes, I guessed three.
-We got him.
-We got him, not a jumbo.
-Not a slammer, but he's going in the hole.
-This isn't a jumbo fish, but we're happy to have one on deck right now.
We're hoping this is gonna start moving us in the right direction.
There's still plenty of time left in the season.
-That's what happens when you work together as a team.
-These little ones are out of their mind.
-Too bad for Merch they weren't around to see us land this one.
(rattling engine)
MARCIANO: Pulling in the harbor.
The engine, it just keeps getting worse.
When you're bobbing around offshore, you want things to be 100%.
The reality is, how much is it gonna cost to get fixed, and how fast can we get
back out there and get fishing?
Those two factors can make all the difference in the world between making the season
happen and sitting at the dock for the rest of the year.
-Hopefully it's a quick fix.
Got to put this trip behind us and look forward to the next time we can go out.
MARCIANO: That's it.
We'll wrap it up and see what happens tomorrow when the mechanic gets here.
-Okay.
MARCIANO: If it weren't for bad luck, we'd have no luck at all.
SCOTT: What's up, Hot Tuna?
-We got one beauty for you, Bubba.
-Okay.
-What we looking at, Scottso? -256 pounds dressed.
-They all count, baby, they all count.
-They do.
-What the buyer is looking for is a good color in the meat with fat
all the way through.
Ultimately, if that core sample has an off color,
it's not gonna bring a good price per pound.
So what are you thinking, man?
-It's a good shape on the fish.
Good core. No burn.
-I'm liking the sounds of this.
-Fish like this will get you guys...
19 bucks a pound.
-Whoo, pa-pow baby, Scottso!
Almost five grand, not a bad payday for a fish that practically swam up
to the back of the boat.
All right, we're gonna head out, bud.
-Sounds good.
-Hey Paul, stick that in your Wicked Pissah.
Hot Tuna is en fuego.
I'm gonna text payday baby Paul with the good news.
PAUL: It was TJ. Mr. Evil.
-No way.
-I'm not even gonna respond to any of this nonsense.
Pieces of (bleep).
RICK: TJ is really getting under Paulie's skin.
We just need to get a jumbo tuna and shut his big mouth up.
(beeping)
PAUL: Big marks!
TJ's being a clown.
I should text him a screenshot of my fish finder.
Oh, that's some good markage.
(beeping)
(clicking)
(reel unspooling rapidly)
-We're on! -Yeah, that's him!
Yeah, you got to reel, that's him.
Stay on him, all right, Rick?
-I got it, yeah.
-Ricky's got him on.
Yeah, we're on!
How's the drag look?
-Good, coming right at us.
We're tight here, but we got one on.
This is what we're here for.
-Keep reeling.
-Now he's running. -All right.
-Yeah, come on.
-He's got some weight to him. We're hooked up finally.
-Just holding tight. He's digging.
It's a toughie.
-There we go, there you go.
-That's far, buddy, yeah.
-Let's land this one!
-I got leader. -I see it.
Gonna go right out.
Tail rope.
Whoa, he's pissed.
Wow, you got him?
-Yeah. -Good job, Ricky. -Nice, Paul.
-Turns out all we really needed to turn our luck around was to lay low and
stay the hell away from the Hot Tuna.
76, wow, he's bigger than I thought.
Hey, Rick, you know what I have to say to TJ?
Wicked Pissah is en fuego! Pa-pow!
TYLER: We're all grinding away.
Everyone's catching fish, so we're just trying to maximize our time on the water and
try and get a couple fish.
We're on week two of our team up ocean party with the boys on the Fish Hawk
and I got to say, as partnerships go, this one's working out.
Last time out, we both caught.
This trip, they landed one first, but I got a good feeling that karma's gonna
come our way soon.
Just got to try and keep the lead.
Hopefully, we can just get a couple fish.
Give us a little bit of breathing room, a chance to relax for a minute.
MATT: We got smoked last year.
At least this year we got fish, you know.
I'm happy with this year.
BRAD: Oh yeah, we're doing good, we're doing good.
So far, teaming up and fishing with Tyler is really paying off for us.
We already landed a fish this trip.
I just hope he gets one, too.
Every dog has its day.
(beeping)
-Ah! There he is! -We're gonna go off.
Nice markdown on the bottom.
Beautiful (bleep) mark.
Oh, my God!
Oh, I just marked a nice one.
Streaker, come on, baby, bite!
(beeping)
(reel unspooling rapidly)
Nice got 'em on, whoo!
-Yeah, that's him!
-Whoo, got 'em on again!
-Tyler just hooked up. He's on!
-Whoo, got 'em on again!
-Oh, yeah. -Bent rod.
-I hope he gets it. -Pinwheel is on fire, man.
Duffy's back on the boat and we're back to doing what we do best, catching fish.
We need this fish to keep the lead and keep the pressure on the
rest of the fleet.
-Hey, let's go, Skipper!
-Here you go. -Yup.
Feels like a good one.
-Very good fish. Definitely a fat one.
Not sure if it's a jumbo-jumbo,
but it's definitely a good quality fish.
It's got a lot of weight.
That's what it's all about.
So, we got to do everything we can here, Duff.
-Maybe we'll get straight up and down with this fish, get a shot for a harpoon.
We've been working hard.
-Yeah, brother. Swivel. There he is.
-Might get a dart shot here.
-Yeah, I think you got one, dude.
Get him Queequeg. Stick him!
Watch out! Watch out! Watch out!
a dart shot here.
DUFFY: Yeah, I think you got one, dude.
Get him Queequeg.
Stick him!
Throw the dart!
Nice shot, dude.
-Still not ours yet though, brother.
-No, man.
He's still green.
Gaff.
Tail's coming up! Oh!
-Oh! Oh! We got him, baby!
-All right, bro.
-Yeah, buddy. Yes.
Great job, Duff.
Let's get set back up.
Let's keep this lead, bro.
-Okay.
-All right, brother, let's see what we got here.
Nice one.
Beautiful fat fish.
-Yeah.
-Rubber boot, we got the boot, whoo!
-Whoo, go get 'em!
-Good job, whoo!
Maniacs, dude, maniacs.
Us and Tyler worked great together this trip.
We're both catching fish and I'm happy for him.
-Good feeling here.
-Yeah, baby! What do you got, brother?
-85 bro. -Bingo!' -Back at it, whoo!
-Another fish for the Pinwheel/Fish Hawk alliance.
We both landed beautiful tuna this trip and hopefully these babies will keep us
the two top earning boats in the fleet.
85, whoo, butterball!
BRAD: Yeah, man, that's a beautiful fish.
-We are tuned in.
BRAD (over radio): That's what I'm talking about.
-All right, Fish Hawk and Pinwheel all the way, baby.
MARCIANO: It was unfortunate that we left Dave and The Dot Com and we came in
with a broken down engine.
I find out what the problem is.
It's my fuel injection pump.
I had to order one direct from the factory in England and have it flown here overnight.
This is not gonna be cheap.
(engine sputtering)
(Marciano grunts)
(engine sputtering)
It doesn't look good.
-Gut, man, dude! What's up?
-How you doing? -We got one for you.
-Oh, nice. Well, one's better than none.
-Yeah, so far teaming up with Tyler,
fishing together is really paying off for us.
We've landed two beauties in two trips.
You can't ask for anything more than that.
What do we got on this one, Gut?
-554. -Yeah, that's a nice fish.
-Nice one. Check this baby out.
Ooh, pretty nice fish.
-That's a beauty. -Oh my God. -Core's bright.
-Nice, nice, come on, Gut, we need some money.
-You guys always want money.
-Come on, Gut.
-Big fish.
-Big fish means big money.
-Seventeen bucks.
-Whoo, all right, Gut.
-All right. -We'll take it.
Thank you, G-man. We'll take it. We need that one.
-All right, all right.
-Yeah, that's more than a nine grand payday.
-Go get you more.
-Good job, all right, we'll see you tomorrow.
If Fish Hawk keeps landing fish like this, we'll work with the Pinwheel any day.
I hope The Gut gives Tyler and Duffy a good price for their fish, too.

-Brother! -Hey, what's going on?
How'd you make out tonight?
-Got one really nice fish for you.
-Beautiful. Let's get him up here.
-Our partner, Fish Hawk, just got a great payday and now it's our turn.
How about it, Gut?
-259 dressed. -Perfect. -All right.
-Alrighty.
-How about it, pally?
How's this one look?
-Good core. Nice core, good color.
Decent fat.
Not loaded but pretty decent fat.
-What do you think you can do for me?
-Hmm, hmm...
$16 a pound.
-Perfect. -All right, Pinwheel, baby! -Awesome.
-All right. -Four grand payday?
Can't complain about that. Cool.
We're gonna head back out there.
-Go get some more. -All right. -We'll see you on the turn.
-All right. -All right.
-This alliance with the Fish hawk is paying off for both of us,
so we're gonna keep a good thing going.
DUFFY: We're stacking.
TYLER: Yeah, baby.
MARCIANO: Well, it's official;
Humpty Dumpty is all back together again.
We'll get right back out there and get in the game.
-Yeah, it's just a matter of time.
MARCIANO: Now we are pretty far behind, but I'm just glad it's not catastrophic and
doesn't have me out of the game for the season.
It's time to get back in the water and see if my partner in crime, Dave,
can put us on some fish quick.
We need every fish and every buck we can get.
Time is not on our side right now.
ANGELICA: Don't worry, dad.
Dot Com will help us get back on the fish.
SANDRO: Every bite we get, we got to capitalize at this point.
We're marking. We're marking!
-Way up at 100.
-Wow, look at that. That's a streaker.
-We've had a tough season so far, but with these last couple of trips,
I finally feel like things are starting to turn around.
Hard Merch is off the water, so for now our alliance is on hold,
but the bait he gave us brought us some good luck the other day.
The bait's long gone, but hopefully the luck isn't.
Oh, yeah.
-Wow. -Come on, baby, come on!
(beeping)
(clicking)
(reel unspooling rapidly)
There we go, there we go!
Come on, come on, all right.
Start it up, baby!
-Oh, leave that rod in! Leave that down rod in, line.
Let me grab it, let me grab it.
-Go ahead. -Oh, we're on again.
-We're on! That was a bite.
-Wow, look at this guy go.
DAVE: If we can get this fish, it's only a matter of time before we're back on top
where we belong.
Not very far away now.
Hopefully we get him.
-I got color, I think.
-Yeah, I got color right there.
-Oh yeah, I see him.
Okay, come on, say a prayer to God.
Whoever your God may be.
-Tuna gods, bro.
-Yeah, oh yeah, nice fish.
Look at the size of him!
-Hold that, hold that, swivel.
Keep coming, keep coming, keep coming reverse,
keep coming reverse.
Go, hard, hard, keep coming!
Hit him hard go, go!
He's a (bleep) monster.
Get him, hit him now!
Yeah, baby!
Let's go, let's go.
-Watch out, watch out, watch out.
-Go, go, go, he's a (bleep) monster.
-Yeah!
I got him good.
-Nice job, boys.
-I plowed him.
Just hope it stays in.
After you get the harpoon in them, you know, there's a lot of things that
can go wrong.
Anytime those two lines rub together, there's always the chance you
could lose your fish.
Now we got him on the dart line.
He's got 300 feet of line but he's still taking it.
-Big fish.
-We got a long way to go right here.
-Gave us a nice barn door shot and he took off and now we got man versus beast.
-We can't let these two lines get tangled.
I'm racing Sandro here.
-Look at how his head shakes there.
Coming right up here.
-Yeah.
-Watch out, all right, we got a big twist coming.
-Oh, God.
Reverse, reverse, reverse!
I'm gonna try to get back over that swivel.
-I wanna just get it untangled, get back to business trying
catch this fish.
The harpoon is just all, he's all twisted up in it.
There's nothing you can do about it.
-I got so much slack that I'm afraid to put it in gear.
-Forward, neutral, neutral, neutral.
-Just remember the lines on the deck.
That's my main concern for everybody, all right?
-Yeah. -Copy.
Don't want anybody get wrapped up and pulled overboard.
-All right, keep coming, keep coming, keep coming!
Neutral and reverse.
-Hard reverse!
-Coming up, coming up, coming up, there he goes!
-I got him good right here.
He's not gonna, I'm pulling him up, this (bleep) huge fish.
-Watch that line, guys.
-Watch the lines!
Watch it, watch it, be careful!
You got it? Yeah!
-Yes! -Jumbo.
-Watch your hands, don't break your hands.
Holy (bleep).
-Wow, that's a jumbo, baby.
-That's a real one. Yeah, nice job, guys.
-Unreal.
This is the kind of monster tuna that could put us back where we belong as
Gloucester's top-producing Bluefin boat.
-It's a true giant here, yeah.
-All right, what do you say?
-Keep going, keep going, keep going.
-Are you serious? -Yeah. -He's that big?
-Keep going, keep coming, keep coming.
-Look at the size of that thing.
-That's a jumbo.
-110 inches.
-100, that's a jumbo, that's a big one.
-That's a big boy, we're back.
MARCIANO (over radio): Hey, Dave, you picking me up?
The Hard Merch is back on the water.
-I got to call.
He's gonna, I mean, I really don't wanna call him but I have to.
He's gonna be pissed, but we're working together.
Hey, Dave, come in.
Come in, Merch.
MARCIANO (over radio): Yeah, go ahead.
Sitting on scanner now and can't mark a fish here to save my life, so.
What about you guys?
You have any better luck these last few days?
DAVE: Yeah, we had a, we had a brief, a brief double and just came up
and picked up the down road rod and then the bow rod went off.
-That's a jumbo.
-Just a little pack come through there, but if you're not far away,
I would come here.
Like I said, you mark and you get the bite.
MARCIANO: I don't know.
I just spent thousands of dollars getting my boat fixed.
I can't afford to lose any money heading to a spot where the two bites could
just be sharks and not tunas.
I don't know what to do.
-I mean, he should come.
Come here.
Yeah, he's, I didn't want to tell him I have a fish because I know he's just
down and out, but I get it.
You know, sometimes other people tell me they got fish and we don't.
I get upset, but...
-Yeah, I mean, I mean we're working together, but he's pissed, you know,
he's in one of those moods.
MARCIANO: Sitting on scanner now and can't mark a fish here to save my life, so.
What about you guys?
You have any better luck these last few days?
-Yeah, we had a, we had a brief, a brief double and just came up and picked
up the down road rod and then the bow rod went off.
-That's a jumbo.
-Just a little pack come through there, but if you're not far away,

MARCIANO: I don't know, I don't know what to do.
-I mean, he should come.
Come here.
Yeah, he's, I didn't want to tell him I have a fish because I know he's
just down and out, but I get it.
You know, sometimes other people tell me they got fish and we don't.
I get upset, but.
-Yeah, I mean, I mean, we're working together, but he's pissed you know.
He's in one of those moods.
MARCIANO: I'm gonna keep looking.
Bouncing around the ledge, and so maybe we'll find something before it's over.
-All right.
MARCIANO (over radio): We're gonna catch a few or we'll suck at life.
-All right, cheer up. Don't worry.
If I were him, I'd turn around and come right back here, but that's me.
-Marciano's zigging when he should be zagging and we're starting to get
on a clear course.
-We need some money.
-All right, let's hoist him up.
-Fifty bucks a pound.
Yeah!
After going a whole week without getting a paycheck and after taking a bunch
of crap from TJ, I am so psyched to be bringing in a paycheck this week.
-380 pounds dressed.
-Awesome. -Let's check it out.
-Beautiful core color. Nice band of skin fat.
-TJ got like five grand for his fish.
I'm hoping we can a little more than that.
-This one here...
$17 a pound.
-Yes! Thank you. Six grand for one fish?
That's over a grand more than what TJ did on the Hot Tuna.
-Keep 'em coming. -Boom!
Boy, does that feel good. Payday, baby, whoo!
-We're back.
SCOTT: What's going on?
-We got two for you. -Nice. Let's get 'em up. -This is a jumbo.
This has been a great trip for us.
We've been scraping down at the bottom all season, and that is not a good
feeling for me.
But with these two fish I think things are turning around for the
Dot Com in a big way.
-278 pounds dressed.
-574. -No way. -Butterball!
What do you think on this one?
-Well, it's kind of a red meat fish.
It's just rubbery, nothing to it.
Look at it, there's nothing.
-You're the expert.
We just reel them in.
-Well, I mean you guys are gonna get eleven bucks a pound.
-We'll take it, we'll take it, I mean.
-That's better than nothing. -Absolutely.
-Yeah, now moving on. Now look at that. Huh?
-Wow, that's gorgeous. -Compare and contrast.
-I'd say, really what you've got here is two opposite ends of the quality spectrum,
you know.
-Uh-hmm. Super greasy fish, it's crazy.
-And the color.
-And there's not a lot of fish around like this.
-What do you think, my man?
-$25 a pound.
-Wow. A jumbo price for a jumbo fish.
-Wow. That's awesome.
-That's what I'm talking about. Damn.
-Get some, dude. Thank you. That is sick.
-All right, wow, it's been a long six weeks at the bottom of the heap,
but a 17-grand payout should go a long way towards
putting us back where we belong, on top.
You guys realize we just made a huge paycheck?
NARRATOR: At the end of week six of fishing,
Wicked Pissah's six grand payday edges them ahead of
friend turned foe, Hot Tuna.
And Dot Com's two fish pushed last season champ into the lead for the
first time this year.
Meanwhile, their alliance partner, Hard Merchandise, trails far behind the pack
after failing to catch for more than two weeks.
MARCIANO: All right, Gel?
-Yeah.
MARCIANO: So, yeah, but first take the bait, you can just drop it.
It seems like this season, we can't catch a break.
I'm not gonna panic just yet, but the desperation is starting to set in.
I got to get things back on track.
It seems like every week, it's something else.
