SANDRO: Oh, yeah! Got 'em on!
NARRATOR: For the first time this season...
DAVE: Woo, on fire, whoo!
NARRATOR: Dot Com Dave is in the lead.
DAVE: Dot Com is back, baby.
GEORDIE: Got 'em!
NARRATOR: But the rest of the fleet...
MIKE: Yeah.
DAVE: Whoo!
NARRATOR: Is on his heels.
JOE: Coming under us.
MARCIANO: Come on, fish, go down.
TYLER: This one will put the pressure on Dot Com.
NARRATOR: And will do whatever it takes...
NARRATOR: To steal the top spot from him.
-Ayayay.
NARRATOR: This...
TYLER: Take that, Dot Com.
(grunting and celebrating)
NARRATOR: Is Wicked Tuna.
GEORDIE: Yeah!
NARRATOR: 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.
MARCIANO: 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.
DAVE: 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.
ANGELICA: 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.
DAVE: Dot Com is back, baby.
SANDRO: 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.
DAVE: Oh, look at 'em streaking here.
TJ: When I made the mistake of trusting him.
TYLER: Dot Com, he's got three.
TJ: 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?
PAUL: 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.
BRAD: 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.
TYLER: All right, let's go box 'em in, baby.
DUFFY: 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.
DAVE: 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.
TJ: 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.
TJ: What's up, girls? What you seeing out there? Is there a tuna out there?
Is there a tuna?
(beeping)
(reel unspooling rapidly)
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.
(beeping)
-Wow.
(reel unspooling rapidly).
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.
MATT: 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.
(reel unspooling rapidly)
We're on, fish on, hooked up here, baby.
BRAD: 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?
-I haven't seen one like this in a long time.
-Forward right. -Is that good? -That's good.
Hopefully the Tuna Gods will be on our side and let us get this one, huh?
We need this one, boss.
We wanna be the number one boat, but there's a bigger picture.
-Hope he just comes up and we get him.
-Me and Brad don't fish for claps.
No applauding.
-I think he's coming this way though.
-We got real problems.
We got families to feed.
Go, Brad.
That's the pressure we have that some of these guys don't.
Go left. Go left, Brad.
You know you're gonna run them over if you go that way.
Brad. You like kind of, oh!
-Is he still on? Do we have him?
-He's gone. (bleep). Un-(bleep) believable, man.
He's gone, Brad. Sucks.
-Pulled the hook when he turned.
Little hooks. Sad though.
-At least we know there's fish here.
We're getting bites.
We'll get 'em.
-Damn that one could've put us in first place.
DAVE: You'll see swivel here shortly.
Oh, look at the headshakes.
I don't like this.
I got deep color.
-Come on, come back. Come back.
This fish is an absolute beast.
MIKE: This fish is up and down.
He's on top.
Now he's coming to the boat again, he's probably gonna turn and take off again.
Who the hell knows? So.
-Dot Com's got one on and we've got one on.
I want nothing more than to catch this one in front of the black boat.
We're giving it our best, man.
I'm trying to gain line for Jarrett when he can.
You know, the fish is all over the surface.
Just a real wild fish.
-Look at this fish turning now.
Holy (bleep).
DAVE: No. Stay there. Stay there. Stay there.
There he is. Right there. Good color.
Get the harpoon ready, Sandro.
I'll bring him right to Sandro.
Keep going. Same side.
-Swivel. Swivel.
-Michael, be ready with that harpoon.
-Right here.
DAVE: Swivel's gone. There he is, baby.
Forward. Nice.
Let's keep our lead, fellas. There he is, right here.
-Move that gaff. Nail him!
DAVE: Hit him! Hit that (bleep).
TJ: Hit him!
TJ: Michael, be ready with that harpoon.
DAVE: Swivel's gone.
There he is, baby.
Let's keep our lead, fellas.
There he is, right there.
-Move that gaff, nail him, hit, hit that fish.
DAVE: Nice, we got him!
-Nice job, guys. -Nice shot. Nice shot.
-All right, yeah, come on, kid, come here and bring me a gaff.
-Tail. -Tail. -Let's get the rope on him.
-Whoo, holy (bleep), what a tough fish, man.
-Wow! We're so grateful to have this one.
And If we get a good price for it it's possible we could pull ahead of the Dot Com
and take the lead.
How do you like them apples?
-That fish had a lot of heart.
92.
-We'll take him, baby. -92-inches of ass-kicking tuna.
-That's the perfect size, perfect size, baby.
We're gonna go back to the anchor and try to get another one, baby.
Pa-pow!
DAVE: Good job all around. Coming up.
-Whoo! Got him!
-This is how the Dot Com does it, baby.
-That's a nice looking fish. -On fire. -88 inches.
-88? -Got him.
-Right out of my hands to the deck of the boat.
-Yeah.
DAVE (over radio): Another one for the Dot Com.
-Dave. -Go ahead.
-Does that mean the G & S Express is still catching fish for you?
There's nothing that bothers Dave more than when I bring up the G & S Express.
I take a lot of enjoyment in messing with him.
Last year Geordie and Sandro took the boat out alone.
-Got him!
-And caught five fish without Dave.
So, I jokingly started referring to the boat as, the G and S Express, baby.
And it's been the ultimate way to get under Dave's skin ever since.
Are you gonna let the boys take the boat without you this year?
The G & S Express version two.
Crickets.
-TJ started calling the boat the G & S Express.
Dave doesn't like it and TJ knows he doesn't like it and that's why he
continues to call it that.
TJ (over radio): Hey, Dave your radio still working or what?
TYLER: TJ's a pro.
He's a veteran.
He knows how to get in a guy's head.
He knows how to mess Dave up on the water.
It's classic.
I want Dave driven mad.
I want Dave driven to put a for sale sign right on the side of his boat.
Getting under Dave's skin, it's a good thing.
-They like to abuse him and he deserves to be abused.
They don't call him Dot Douche for nothing.
DAVE: It's tough being up here all the time and the rest of the guys being here.
Everybody wants to be up here and they're not and unfortunately people wanna see
the Dot Com fail, but I'm not gonna let that happen.
All this coming from a guy who's in fifth place.
MARCIANO: Any marks on the screen, Gel?
ANGELICA: Nothing yet, Dad.
My dad's been working really hard to put us on a big school of fish.
So far, it's not working out.
-Sometimes I feel like I'm Wile E. Coyote
and these tunas are the Roadrunner and we just keep getting blown up.
JOE: Before we're done cooking hopefully the rods start going.
-I'll pass.
What's that?
-Those are your vegetables. -What are they called?
-Stop it. -Vege-tables? -Cut it out.
-Never heard of them. -Step one. Vegetables.
Maybe next year I can work on getting him to eat a salad.
-I might not have another boat to partner up with on the water,
but I'm lucky enough to have my kids looking out for me.
All right, back to work.
-Fine.
-Hold that spool right under the rod tip, hon.
Having not had a paycheck in over two weeks, I've got to start looking out for them.
We got to start putting them in the boat.
This is how you do it.
Rigged and ready for bear.
-Hmm, is that the name of our next tuna?
-Yeah, because it's gonna be so big we're gonna call him Bear.
-Okay.
-No.
TJ: We got one beauty down here for you, Bubba.
-All right, let's see what we got.
-Right now, there's less than seven grand separating us from Dot Com and the top spot.
If we can earn more than that with this fish, we could knock Dave off his pedestal.
What've we got Scottso?
-362 pounds. -Nice. -Come check him out?
-Let's do it, come on up.
-So far this season our fish have been good quality and have ranged between
$17 and $20 a pound.
So I'm hoping this fish is a good one too.
-How we looking? -It's looking pretty good. -That's a nice one, buddy.
-Yeah, good shape on him too. -Nice color.
-It's loaded with fat you can see it everywhere in it.
-Yeah. -Majors, the minors. The core's good.
-Yeah. What are you thinking?
Come on, Scottso, let's come out of the hole strong here, baby.
-$20 a pound.
-Pa-pow, you're the man, Scottso.
Turn and burn.
Hopefully to see you again soon, man.
-All right, man, sounds good.
-Yeah, this fish just put us ahead of Dot Com in the earnings,
mission accomplished.
And now that we're under Dave's skin, I definitely wanna stay there.
Scottso, I got to ask a favor for you.
-Oh boy.
-Next time you take out Dave's fish,
Dot Com ruffles his feathers a little bit, all right.
-Okay. -All right, Scotty. See you soon, buddy.
-See you guys.
-And make sure to ask him if he's gonna let Geordie and Sandro take the
boat out this season.
He's gonna lose it!
BRAD: There's a tuna, nice.
There's a tuna down there.
-Oh boy.
Tyler, check your screen.
We got 'em coming through good over here.
Make sure your stick baits are at 120 feet.
Somebody's got to knock Dot Com down.
He's got to be knocked down a peg.
DAVE: There's a lot of guys that simply wanna see us fail.
Here they come.
All right, guys. We got one on board. Let's get one more.
I'm not the kind of guy that likes to lose.
Winning is important.
Let's get another one.
-Everybody wants to beat Dot Com.
He wants us to get nothing.
He doesn't want one boat to catch one fish.
He wants to catch every fish in the ocean.
TYLER: Oh my God, I just marked a million tunas right on my bait.
-If anybody knocks Dot Com off his high horse that's a good thing.
TYLER: And we just marked like 35 Bluefin.
DUFFY: Oh my God.
-Let's get 'em, brother.
TYLER: There's like 30 there's a solid 30 in there.
-Oh, dude.
TYLER: Come on.
-No (bleep) joke.
There are the nicest marks we've seen in a while.
-School of giants right here, dude.
-Tunas swimming through at 72 feet, 72 feet.
-Woo, large people's popcorn, get ready.
Birthday marks, birthday marks.
-Big birthday marks. -We're on, we're on! -We're on!
-He's running, he's running!
Big bite, let's move him, Duff.
-Woo! Oh yeah, he's mad, baby.
Huge run, wow, it's a big boy.
Got 'em on, Brad. Bring it on, baby.
-Whoo, baby, come on! -Tyler's on. -No way.
Yeah, let's get another bite.
I don't want these guys getting a jump on us.
-Quick get a herring.
-Rapid herring deployment here.
-Rapid herring fire.
TYLER: This one will put the pressure on Dot Com.
We need this one. The fleet is catching fish.
We just got to put every fish we can in the boat.
The fish is right here.
-Damn, he's all wrapped up, bro.
-This fish is definitely tail wrapped.
He's trying to pull, pull, pull, pull, pull.
And his tail is thrashing against the line.
We could lose the fish.
He's kind of all over the place.
He's cartwheeling.
Trying to shake that hook.
It's thrashing its head, it's flaring its gills.
-Oh (bleep).
We've got to bring him in quick before we lose him.
TYLER: Duffy, don't lose him.
TYLER: This fish is gigantic.
This fish is definitely tail wrapped.
He's trying to pull, pull, pull, pull, pull.
And his tail is thrashing against the line.
We could lose the fish.
-Oh (bleep). -Duffy, don't lose him.
Careful with the line Duff, it's weak.
Wind, wind, wind, we've got to bring him in quick before we lose him.
Deep color, Duff. Deep color.
-Yeah, brother.
-If we can get this fish it's gonna put us ahead of Dot Com.
We're getting close here.
This fish does not wanna give up.
-Easy. -I know. Throw the dart!
Throw the dart! Stick him!
-Got him! -Nice shot.
-Nice shot, Duff. Nice shot brother.
-Come on, get the tail rope. -All right, buddy.
He's ours now baby, whoo!
-Yeah brother, big one.
Finally, we got some pounds, finally we got some poundage.
That's a real fish, bro, whoo.
-Take that, Dot Com, game over!
-Game set match, whoo! -Pinwheel, baby.
TJ: Hey, Dave you hear that?
You're getting smoked, you ought to let the G & S Express take it from here, man.
PAUL: TJ's homerun is the G & S Express.
It's a grand slam for TJ when he mentions that to Dave.
You know, I can't imagine being on Dave's boat listening to that, it's got to be tough.
DAVE: All right, I've heard enough.
Let's get this fish in and let's take back the lead.
That'll shut 'em up.
-Ready, whoo. -Wow man, wow, big one.
We landed the fish we're super stoked.
Had we not had such a great relationship with Brad we probably never
would've caught this fish.
It's a big fish.
And best of all, it keeps the pressure on the Dot Com.
-What do you got?
-101, beautiful fish, big fish.
-All right. -Wow, boy! Boom, big one. -It's beautiful, wow.
-Wow. -All right, buddy.
-This one could put us in the lead.
-Down goes Frazier.
DAVE: Feels good. We needed this.
-What's going on, guys? -We got one for you. -All right, let's do it.
-It feels great right now coming back to the dock.
We really needed the win.
I've dealt with a lot of people trying to knock you down,
and time and time again the best way to get back at them is just to
keep on catching fish.
What's the dress weight, Scott?
-289 pounds dressed. -Nice, let's check him out. -Come on up.
-What do you say, bud? -It's a really good fish.
It's definitely a good color on it, too, really greasy, so that's good.
No burn so that's good.
-All right, what do you think?
Good color, it's really greasy, decent shape.
-Yup, $21 a pound. -Yeah. -Nice.
-Big money, big money. -Yeah absolutely. -Thank you, that's nice.
-That'll put us back on top, yeah, okay.
-All right, the G & S. -Not funny, dude.
TJ is taking it a little too far.
That pisses me off. All right, let's go.
-Pa-pow! -Oh, God. Here we go.
DAVE: TJ loves to get under people's skin.
Whether it's saying something to someone to get back to you,
TJ just loves to get your blood boiling.
GEORDIE: There's certainly some captains in the fleet who enjoy ruffling Dave's feathers
a little bit to actually try to throw Dave off and you know take away from his focus,
sometimes it works.
-That moon's kind of cool.
-Oh, wow, yeah, it's a good moon for fishing.
-We've been fishing all night long and so far my search of bigger fish hasn't paid off.
How's it look, Joe?
-Great.
-We're having a tough year, no doubt, having not had a paycheck in over two weeks,
it's tough, but I'm not gonna give up yet.
Let's just hope this is the spot to be in.
I know there's some big fish around here somewhere, we just got to put the time
in to find them.
So, we're probably gonna keep, you know, at least have one line out all night.
I'm gonna lay down a little bit, Joe.
-All right.
-Let me, let me know if you mark any.
If you mark one, that rod should go right down.
-You know, when things aren't going well, you know,
my dad keeps the motor running and, you know, we keep fishing.
It may look tough right now, but I know we can bounce back from this.
We've done it before.
(snoring)
(beeping)
Dad, hey, Dad.
-Nothing? -Dad, we're marking.
-Was it a good definite mark, Joe?
-Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. -Single or just? -Just single.
Yeah, we're on, we're on, we're on!
-We're on, we're on a fish. -Yeah!
-Waking up to the news of a fish on hasn't happened as much as I would
like it to this season, yeah.
-Yeah, he's going up towards your anchor.
-Okay, now we just got to hang on to it.
-Got it right near our anchor.
We could lose a fish right here, so.
-It's a little tricky at night here.
We got to watch out for our anchor and other buoys, which will be in the area.
All right, Joe, let's get it up here now.
Back off on it.
We're fighting a big fish at night here, so we're gonna need all hands-on
deck for this one.
Gel, you ready to get on the rod a little?
-Yeah. -All right, ready?
Hop on there, Gel.
-Looks like coming up here has paid off for us in these old-school spots.
Pretty sure this is a really good-sized fish.
Boy, do we need this one.
-(bleep)!
-What? Did you just beep?
Doing good, Gel. Doing good.
-It's always really stressful when the line's not tight.
-Do you need help?
-Looks like it, yeah.
-All right, well, say something, you should.
-Well I only just decided I needed help.
-Tag her out, tag her out. -All right, yeah, yeah.
-What's gonna happen out here is there's a lot of lobster gear around.
In the daytime, you can see them coming from a long way off.
At nighttime, these buoys are gonna come at us out of the dark so it doesn't give us
much time to react.
We're pretty much at the fish's mercy.
-Yeah, that's gear, 1:00. -Right here.
-Oh, (bleep), yeah, keep going, keep going, all right.
-Right there.
-I see it, all right, he's definitely gonna be in this (bleep)!
-Gaff. -Yeah? -We need a gaff.
-Excuse me, get it into me. Don't pull it tight.
Joe, back off of that drag!
(bleep).
Give me a knife, give me something.
-Knife. -Okay, okay, okay. -Hurry or we'll lose him.
ANGELICA: Yeah, that's gear.
MARCIANO: Joe, back off of that drag!
Our fishing line is tangled in lobster gear.
If we don't get our fishing line free, we're gonna lose this fish.
Back way off of the drag, give me a knife.
-Knife. -Okay, okay, okay. -Hurry or we'll lose him.
-(bleep)! -Give me something. -Here, here.
-All right.
We dodged that bullet just barely.
This fish is a challenge, that's for sure.
-Coming under us. Coming under us.
-We got a monster fish on the line here and not having landing a Bluefin in over two
weeks, a fish of this size could be exactly what we need
to help turn this season around.
There he is.
-There he is right there. Dad, get the harpoon.
Right here.
-Coming back. Look out, look out.
-Right here, yeah. -Yeah, got him.
Oh, Big (bleep).
Pick up that other harpoon, Gel.
-Yup. -It's right here. -So how do you like that?
-Oh, oh (bleep), one handed!
-Gel? -Tail rope!
-Got it! -Right side! Right side. -Yeah, I'm coming.
-Atta girl.
-It's the right side, good job, Gel.
-All right, Gel.
I'll take the gaff, you clean it off.
-Yeah. -That's a "hundred-incher"! -That's a jumbo, baby!
-Can't beat that.
Out here, our biggest fish of the season doing it with my kids and we're
making a paycheck, too.
I came here looking for big fish and that's exactly what we found.
That's gonna be a 700-pound fish, maybe even 800.
Nice work, team, nice work.
This is the biggest fish we've seen all season.
And if we're lucky, it could go a long way in closing the gap between us and
the Tuna Dot Com.
Oh, boy.
I still can't reach the head, it's too deep.
He's too big for my fish cooler and that's a big freaking cooler.
What do you got?
-115 and a half. -Jumbo, whee!
-We wouldn't be able to land a fish like this if we weren't a good team.
There's the proof right there.
We're gonna need a bigger boat.
We're currently in last place in the earnings.
What's going on, Scotty?
But we're coming in with a jumbo tuna fish.
-Hey, what's going on, Skip?
-I'm just hoping this monster-sized tuna.
Tada!
Has jumbo quality to match because as the last place boat in the fleet,
we need as much as money as we can get.
What do you got, Scotty?
-856 pounds. -Nice. -Nice.
-Oh, nice. -Big one.
Well done, man, biggest fish of the season.
-Jumbo. -See what's on the inside.
-Biggest fish of the fleet, that's got to mean something.
-Well, if you look in the minors, you can see that there's a ton of fat,
and that's the most important part about this fish.
And it's got a great color, too.
-Yeah. -This fish is monstrous. -So what do you think?
Our biggest fish of the season.
We need a good score.
-Well, with this fish right here...
I can do 18 bucks a pounds.
-Yeah, big score, big score; maybe you'll even get a paycheck this week.
-Oh, boy.
-All right, well, Scotty we're gonna head back out.
-We'll see you, thanks. -Thank you, bye.
-All right, guys, see you later.
-Biggest fish of the season. Time to share the good news.
PAUL: Wow, Marciano got the biggest fish of the season.
I knew it was a matter of time, you know?
He just had to hang in there.
-He needed it.
PAUL: He does.
Do you hear this one?
Sounds like we got a new record holder in the fleet.
Marciano got the biggest fish of the season.
TYLER: Awesome, man. I'm really glad you got him.
Woo! You're doing a great job.
PAUL: Carraro's probably gonna combust over there.
It's gonna be getting to Dave.
Dave wants the biggest fish in the ocean, that's his drive, that's what he wants.
And that's what keep all of us going after him.
He motivates us to kick his ass.
TJ: Good going, man.
You hear that?
I bet Dot Com's freaking out?
All right, listen to this crap he left me last night.
TJ: He's apparently butt-hurt over that.
I grew up having my balls busted and having people kind of mess with me,
but in a jovial sarcastic way and I don't think Dave gets that sometimes that when I'm
messing with him, I'm just ultimately just messing with him.
I'm clearly getting under Dot Com's skin and that's awesome.
(beeping)
TYLER: Big mark.
Brad, man, we got tunas showing up.
I'll tell you right where I am.
I want you to catch fish.
I would put her in gear, Brad, I would get over here.
Hopefully we're fighting one when you get here.
You can take my ball.
Both Brad and I are within striking distance of the top spot.
Brad's a good fisherman and a great dude.
If putting him on the meat allows him to get ahead of Dot Com, then so be it.
All right, Pally. I'll see you soon, bye.
Right now, we're on some fish and I don't mind helping him out.
DAVE: Marking! It's gonna turn on now.
-Now, maybe we'll just get a jumbo.
-Other guys can try and topple us all they want, but Dot Com's in the lead
and we have no plans of giving that up.
If we wanna stay number one, we have to hook the fish right now.
(beeping)
SANDRO: Oh my God. Look at the machine.
-We're gonna go off right now.
(beeping)
(clicking)
(reel unspooling rapidly)
We're on, bow, bow, bow, bow, bow!
-Bow, we're on, we're on, reel, reel, reel!
-Bow's on. -Okay, yep.
-Got 'em on, got 'em on!
-Just hooked up on the bow and we need to catch this fish if we wanna hang on to
our number one spot.
Don't touch the down, leave them out.
Leave them out.
Got a whole pack on the down!
-Whoo, baby.
Got a whole wolf pack.
-There's Dot Com. They're definitely on.
-Yeah, oh, no.
-It sucks that Dot Com,
the guy that deserves to fish the least, always gets the bite.
-Ooh banji, there he is. -Where is he?
Let's try and make something happen here, Matt.
-You okay? Stay on, you gonna stay on?
You're good, right?
-Yeah, for now.
-All right. Fish Hawk just moved in.
Let's land this one right in front of him.
-Bow rod's killing it. Craziness.
-I thought we were gonna go off again there.
-Pretty sure this fish is gonna be gut hooked for sure.
He came up on it, just kept swimming up,
and he's on the line for a little while,
so he really bent the rod over, so.
Wrap around, get inside the gill plate, something like that.
We're worried that the fish is gut hooked.
That means the hook is way down in his throat and it's possible that he
could chew through the line and we could lose him.
-Sandro, you can get off if you want.
-Okay, all right.
Kind of a double-edged sword right here.
TYLER (over radio): Dude, let's go on and take out Dot Com.
-You got to take down the evil empire.
Oh, my God.
Yeah, we're on, we're on, we're on, here we go!
-Want me to go get right off the anchor, Brad?
-Yeah, thanks to our buddy, Tyler, we're hooked up with a fish.
If we could land this one, we could put some serious pressure on Dave and
knock Dot Com right out of the lead.
Hop on the rod, I got the wheel.
Come get this.
I got to ride over this buoy.
-He's running right towards that buoy.
He's going right for it. You got to be kidding me, man.
Right in the (bleep) thing, dude.
-Right in it.
DAVE: Keep cranking, Sandro, try and set that hook.
-I feel it slipping. -Matt, say something, buddy!
You still there?
SANDRO: I don't know if he's still on!
MATT: He's running right towards that buoy.
He's going right for it.
You got to be kidding me, man.
Right in the (bleep) thing, dude.
BRAD: Right in it.
DAVE: Keep cranking, Sandro.
Try and set that hook.
We need to catch this fish if we wanna hang on to our number one spot.
I do not wanna lose to the guy that was at the bottom of the fleet last year.
Hang on to him, Sandro.
We've got to hang on to him.
SANDRO: I can feel it slipping.
Damn, I don't know if he's still on.
He's gone. He's gone. He's gone. No way.
-Oh, he was. -Told you, gone.
I think I ripped.
-How horrible. -Unreal.
We didn't even, we barely even reeled on him and really did nothing
to this fish.
(bleep) joke.
-Okay. -We are (bleep) stupid now.
-A little back to pulling hooks.
Can't believe we lost that fish,
but I'm even more upset we got to watch the
Fish Hawk still fighting his.
And this could possibly cost us our number one spot.
-What a sick joke. Sick, sick joke this is.
-Walk it right past it, Brad.
He's screaming line straight out.
We don't want this fish to get wrapped up in these buoys.
Because if they do, there's a very good chance we'll lose it.
Keep going past it, Brad.
Right out past it.
I wanna get away from this thing.
All it has to do is the line has to rub on a rope or a buoy for the line to get
weak and then it can part off at any time.
We've got to navigate our way out of the buoys and get this fish aboard.
Hard right.
He's going straight past it, Brad.
-Not in it?
-I don't know how, but he swam right by.
If we caught this fish and got put up on that number one spot,
it would prove to everybody that the Fish Hawk is no joke.
Let's see how he feels from that.
-He was tired in a nice pinwheel.
Now he's back in this top water (bleep).
I don't like it. Let's move him over.
-All right. -Got it.
This fish is testing everything we've got, but we're not giving up,
this one fish could change everything for the reputation of our boat in this fleet.
What is he doing?
-He's going crazy. -It's a good battle.
Deep color.
Get him, Brad, get him!
-Get the gaff, back off. Get that tail. Get that tail.
-All right. -You got it? -Big tuna, bro. Big tail.
You got it right around the line?
-We got this (bleep)?
Woo! Yes! Take that.
That's nice to get a real giant.
That's why we let them grow up.
That's a tuna.
-Game over. Game over, baby.
Fish Hawk. Worst to first. Whoo!
-Good job, man.
Landing this fish means everything right now.
We had a terrible season last year and now we're proving that we're
not the bottom of the barrel.
-Wow, look at that fish, bro. Woo!
That is a jambalaya.
-This is a nice fish.
-All them guys that have been doubting us, this fish means a lot.
This fish can put us in the number one spot for the first time this season.
Big fish, bro.
-That's a nice fish. -Thank you, buddy.
How much we got?
-1-0-1, 101-inches. -Nice. Good fish, Brad.
-Beautiful fish, man. -Game over. -Good job, Matt. Woo.
-Thank you, Brad.
-Let's try to get a victory here for the little guys.
♪ ♪
TYLER: Pinwheel, baby!
Brad and I both caught fish this week and I'm hoping that that could
push us ahead of Dot Com.
GUT: What's going on?
-Got another one for you, brother.
-All righty, we'll check it out.
-Let's send it up. The race is hot.
We got to get back out there.
When Dot Com weighed in their tuna earlier this week,
he extended his lead over us to about $8,400.
What are we looking at?
-544 pounds, Tyler.
-But if we get decent money for this jumbo tuna, we could push ahead of them
in the earnings.
Awesome, brother, we're coming up.
-All right. Let's check this thing out. It's got a pretty nice core.
It's got decent fat.
-I think it look better when it gets a little colder.
-What can you do for me? -This fish here...
16 bucks a pound.
-All right, we'll take it. -All right. All right. -Solid check. We're stoked.
With that price, we jumped right ahead of Dot Com in the earnings.
-Thank you, brother.
-The only thing better than us getting ahead of the Dot Com is our buddies
on the Fish Hawk doing it, too.
Fish Hawk, Ka-kaw, Ka-kaw, Ka-kaw, Ka-kaw!
-Hey, Gut. -Hey, what's going on? What's up, Brad?
-What's up, Gut?
-Looks like you had a pretty good trip.
-We got this nice fish for you.
It looks fat.
-Ooh.
-This season, Matt and I have worked really hard to prove that the Fish Hawk can
be a top boat in the fleet.
If we've got a diamond here,
this fish could put us on top for the first time this season.
What do we got, Gut?
-545, Brad. -Nice fish.
-Nice. Let's take a look at him.
Right now, there's about eight grand between us and the top spot so it's all
gonna come down to the quality of this fish.
-Yeah, big fish.
Yeah, it's got some fat in the majors, not too bad.
-Not too bad.
We need a good price for this fish.
We wanna win.
We wanna redeem ourselves from last year.
-Yeah, hmm...
I'll give you 16 bucks on this one.
-All right, that's a good price, Gut, thank you.
-All right, nice. -Worst to first, baby. -Woo, worst to first.
-Yeah, we feel great right now.
We've struggled, we've pulled through adversity.
We've definitely proven to the fleet we belong on top, but we've known it all along.
-Peace out, G-man. -You got it.
-We're gonna go get some more of those beauties.
-Now that we're number one, we're gonna work our asses off to stay here.
NARRATOR: At the end of the week seven of fishing,
Hard Merchandise's fifteen grand payday
almost doubles the family operations' earnings this season,
and Fish Hawk and Pinwheel's 500-pound catches,
push the fishing partners into the top two spots.
Meanwhile, Hot Tuna's good quality fish edges them closer to last
season's champion fishing vessel Tuna Dot Com.
-A joke. I just don't get it. What's our problem?
-Uh-hmm, that's it. For sale sign, 850.
TJ: You rename it G & S Express, you'll get 1.1 all day, bro.
-Oh, God. -He's twitching.
-He ain't coming back with nothing.
-He hasn't responded. No, no response.
What's that Genesis song?
"No reply at all," there's no reply at all.
He didn't have much to say.
-And to that. -That didn't take much.
Oh, (bleep). Oh (bleep) (bleep).
-Are you okay, buddy? -Oh (bleep). -You all right?
-Thank God I'm all right.
That's probably the tuna gods telling me to lay off Dot Com.
Fine!
