NARRATOR: Over the past month of fishing...
MATT: Woo! Fish Hawk, baby! DAVE C: Dot Com on fire.
NARRATOR: Two Captains...
MATT: You got this, Brad.
DAVE C: That's what I'm talking about.
BRAD: There we go! MATT: Game over.
NARRATOR: Have been on a catching spree...
DAVE C: Woo! That's Dot Com style right there.
MATT: Fish Hawk! Woo! Ka-kaw!
NARRATOR: While the rest of the fleet have fallen behind.
DUFFY: Oh! Chafed him! TYLER: Oh.
JOE: It's a shark!
It's a waste of time and a waste of money.
NARRATOR: So now...
JARRETT: Yeah, baby! Yeah!
TYLER: We're on! We're on! We're on! We're on!
PAUL: Woo.
DAVE M: We go to get this one.
NARRATOR: The pressure's on.
TYLER: The race has never been this heated.
TJ: Come on, baby. Come on, baby.
PAUL: We're on!
NARRATOR: And one captain will reach his breaking point.
DAVE M: (beep) (beep) (beep)! Wow! What a (beep) up season.
NARRATOR: This.
TIM: I can't hold him, look at this guy!
TYLER: Yeah! DANNY: Pa-pow!
TIM: Woo. DAVE M: Ah!
NARRATOR: Is Wicked Tuna.
DAVE M: What a (beep) up (beep) year!
NARRATOR: At the start of week 12 of fishing, about $200 separates the fleet's
two top earners, Fish Hawk and Fishing Vessel Tuna.Com.
Meanwhile, the rest of the fleet have some serious ground to make up if they're going to catch
the two frontrunners.
TYLER: Duff, we got to step it up this week. We need a bite.
We're grinding harder than anyone.
It's time to perform, big time, bro.
There are several boats in the fleet, including us, that have been struggling lately.
Meanwhile, in this past month of fishing, Dot Com and Fish Hawk have been on a tear,
pulling away from everyone.
We're desperate to start making some big money this week.
We're marking! We're marking!
It'll happen any minute, get ready, bro.
We're on!
DUFFY: Yow. Woo!
Yeah, baby! TYLER: Woo.
DUFFY: Nice run, big fish.
TYLER: It'd be really, really nice to put this one in the boat.
Get the stink off.
We've been having some bad luck over here on the Pinwheel, and I don't know what we did to deserve it.
The Tuna Gods have really been making us earn it.
Right now, we got one on the line.
It's really important that we catch this fish right now.
I personally can't watch.
We've lost so many fish that I just can't even watch.
Me, I can't, I'm like, gonna projectile vomit.
DUFFY: The end of the season is super close and right now we can't afford to miss out on a paycheck.
TYLER: Every headshake, every single time this fish shakes his head I think,
"Oh my God we're gonna pull another hook."
It's so nice to finally have one on here, Duff.
We really could use this fish, the pressure is on, the competition is fierce.
It is anyone's game.
Brother, let's get this one.
Big paycheck on the line here.
DUFFY: There he is, T, he's gonna stay up high, huh?
TYLER: This fish is really important to get the momentum back.
It's been brutal, it's been hard on us, the morale on the boat's been down,
but there's only one way to get the momentum going in the right direction and that's to catch this fish.
To have one on here, it's a wonderful feeling, just gotta get this one.
Ah! DUFFY: Ah!
(beep)! Pulled hook.
TYLER: Dang.
Oh my God, that really hurts, dude.
DUFFY: Right up in his (beep) gill plate.
TYLER: Hurts when you see 'em.
Pulled the hook right there at the boat.
Brutal.
DUFFY: We had him, dude, (beep).
TYLER: Oh, my God when you see 'em like that, that hurts.
There's a 90 incher right there on top, right at the boat.
DUFFY: He was so close.
TYLER: All we do is (bleep)lose fish. All we do!
Been working so hard to get the bites, finally get the bite.
SANDRO: Uh, Tyler lost him. That's too bad.
GEORDIE: Oh. We'll send him, we'll send 'em a card. SANDRO: Yeah.
DAVE C: Good for him.
BRAD: Oh, he snapped him off. MATT: Oh! Not Tyler! I like Tyler. BRAD: He lost him.
PAUL: What a shame.
TYLER: Oh. Well, there's only one thing to do and that's to set back up on the anchor
and put 'em out.
You know, that's why it's a grind just got to grind through it.
Just keep on grinding, hopefully we'll get lucky, maybe our luck will change.
You're gonna catch some, you're gonna lose some, that's just the way it's gonna go.
TIM: Nothing so far, Bubba.
TJ: I'm really proud to say that this season we've shut up a lot of the haters,
and performed really strongly for the most part.
But, the past two weeks we have not caught a single tuna, and now we're almost twenty grand
behind the fleet's two top earners.
DANNY: I see stuff. I see birds. TIM: Nice.
TJ: So, this week my nephew, Danny, and my dad are on board to help us get back on track.
JARRETT: Looking good.
TJ: When Danny and dad came out with us on a trip earlier this season.
Woo!
Pa-pow!
We landed two great fish and had our best payday yet this season.
TIM: The good luck charm. TJ: Good job, buddy.
So, I'm hoping they can bring us some luck this trip too.
DANNY: Going once, going twice, sold to Jarrett Winksy.
JARRETT: Jarrett Winksy?
MIKE: One thing's for sure, when Danny's onboard he certainly helps keep morale up
and helps us pass the time.
DANNY: Hey, what's your last name again?
JARRETT: Przybyszewski. DANNY: Oh, Przybyszewski! Pop? TIM: Yeah, Bubba.
DANNY: Do you know how to say Jarrett's last name?
TIM: Przybyszewski.
DANNY: Przybys.
Przybyszewski.
Przybys.
You say it, Michael. MIKE: Przybyszewski.
DANNY: Przybyszewski, Przybyszewski.
MIKE: Przybyszewski. DANNY: Przybyszewski.
JARRETT: We just marked one.
TJ: Come on, take the bait! Take it.
Come on! Come on, come on, take it, come on, God!
Pa-pow, baby!
TIM: Something's on there. Something's on now.
JARRETT: Ah!
TJ: There he is, a tuna! TIM: Yeah, look at him. JARRETT: Woo-hoo!
TJ: Ripple, Reba. Watch out!
TIM: Is it him? TJ: Yeah, it's him! MIKE: Yeah, it's him!
TJ: Got him on, baby, Pa-pow!
Here's Jarrett, Dad. TIM: Okay.
TJ: He's just sitting down there at 140 feet.
We've got the Polish Fabio cranking on him.
JARRETT: That's right.
TJ: Come on, guys, this feels like a big fish.
DANNY: Watch the line. Looks like he's shaking.
TIM: Uh-hmm. He's shaking his head.
This thing is just dogging right now, huh?
JARRETT: He's starting to get tired.
TJ: We need this paycheck.
TIM: There he is, deep color.
JARRETT: Next one after this one.
TJ: This could be worth 10 grand.
Wait, wait, wait. Hold on, Dad. JARRETT: Next one after this one TIM: He's still too deep.
TJ: Trying to get him to surrender to the flow here.
You got to get him here, dad. TIM: Gonna try, TJ.
TJ: There you go. MIKE: Watch that line, pal.
TJ: Got him. TIM: Got him!
Bring him up, come on! He's right here! Got him.
Come on, get a gaff, get a gaff!
TJ: I can't see what's going on? MIKE: Black backing.
I can't see him.
I can't reach him.
TIM: He's still green here, so don't, don't do nothing hasty.
MIKE: Danny, you stay back. DANNY: Okay.
MIKE: Stay away from that rope!
TJ: Right here, he's right here!
Oh no he's, oh, no. Bubby!
MIKE: Ugh.
TJ, what am I gonna do?
TIM: What happened?
MIKE: He took the gaff. TJ: The gaff's in the line.
TIM: This bastard don't want to die.
TJ: Get the line. Get the line! Get the line! Get the line!
MIKE: The harpoon line? TJ: Yeah.
MIKE: Right there! TJ: Yes. MIKE: Ugh! God!
TIM: Lookit, he's still swimming around black back here. He's not ready.
MIKE: I'm hooked in, Michael, I got him. I got him. I got him.
Dad, grab the line. Grab the line. Got it? Ready?
TIM: Yeah.
Back up, TJ, a little bit.
A little bit! He's going down!
TJ: Why do you want me to back up? TIM: I can't hold him!
TJ: I can't see, Bubby. I can't see!
JARRETT: Wow, he's still kicking our ass.
TIM: He's still green, look at this guy! TJ: I can't see.
JARRETT: You're gonna have to handline him in. I'm also tied up here.
TIM: I, I, I got him! TJ, you're pulling away from him.
TJ: Oh, he's tail wrapped.
Just don't fight, dad, we ain't gonna get him. We ain't gonna get him.
TIM: Come on. Somebody get back here! MIKE: Just keep coming.
JARRETT: See that line's in a knot right there. I'm gonna get it back to you.
TIM: I got him. I got him coming just get the tail.
We got him, come on, get a tail rope! Tail rope! Tail rope!
TJ: Come on, tail rope! Tail rope!
TIM: Come on; get another gaff, another gaff, another gaff.
That gaff's going to (beep), another gaff, that gaff's gonna slip out.
MIKE: You got it around? TIM: Get the gaff.
TIM: I got him. I got him.
Yeah! TJ: Oh!
There we go!
Nice work, guys. Nice work. JARRETT: Nice, baby!
TJ: Pa-pow!
JARRETT: Nice work, buddy! TJ: Nice job, bro.
(laughs)
MIKE: Yay! Danny boy! TIM: Wow!
TJ: Things got crazy at the end of that fight, but we worked together and we got him.
Hopefully this is just the start of our success on this trip.
TIM: Whoa! Look at him, Daniel. And the hook is still in, Dan.
MIKE: Got to go over the fin.
DANNY: Eighty-seven. TIM: Eighty-seven nice.
TJ: What do you say, baby? What you say?
DANNY: We'll take him. TJ: We'll take him?
DANNY: It's really cool pulling a fish up on the deck because it's such a big fish.
TJ: Eighty-seven 87, still we'll take him, baby.
DAVE C: How the hell do they do that? How does that happen?
SANDRO: Unreal. Wow.
MATT: You want to dance with the champ?
BRAD: Oh, my God.
MATT: I was just (beep) with you. Catch 'em up!
TJ: Woo!
JARRETT: I have a good feeling.
DANNY: You just jinxed us, PRZYBYSZEWSKI.
(laughs)
JOE: Just had two terns come through. DAVE M: Oh, yeah?
Those lucky terns. That must mean it's our turn.
ANGELICA: What do you mean?
DAVE M: Those birds that do the little high pitched scrack, scrack, scrack.
Those are called terns.
It's usually good luck.
It usually means it's gonna be our turn next to catch a fish.
This season will end in a month's time and while my kids and I have caught less tuna and
made less money than all of the other boats in the fleet, we're not that far behind most of the pack.
It's not over till the fat tuna sings and we're not going down without a fight.
A couple minutes, Joe, we'll do a bait check and if it looks good we'll get two lines out.
JOE: Cool.
DAVE M: Then we'll just sit here and wait for a big fatty to come through.
And hopefully, that rod will bend right over.
ANGELICA: I'm ready for my next one.
DAVE M: Attagirl, that's right. ANGELICA: One thing I really
love and respect about my dad is that he never gives up.
No matter how tough things get, he's always trying.
It's all about just putting one foot in front of the other.
After not catching anything last week, we're all focused on making some good money this trip.
DAVE M: Our bait is still nice and lively and frisky, so we're gonna send him right back out
and wait some more.
PAUL: Every tuna comes from the bottom, because they feed on the bottom, that's where they feed.
That's just like us, huh Rick?
Start from the bottom and go right to the top.
(laughs)
RICK: Yup.
PAUL: Rick and I got off to a really solid start this season and we were even the top earning
boat after the first month of fishing.
But in recent weeks, we hit a rough patch and went almost a month without catching a fish,
so we really need to start making some headway and earning some big money.
ANGELICA: There's something.
JOE: We just had a couple fish coming up, up high at 15.
DAVE M: What? JOE: We're marking.
PAUL: First mark of the week.
From the bottom all the way up 150, right where that bait is.
RICK: Nice!
PAUL: There's another one! Keep an eye on the floaters.
DAVE M: And now we're just watching.
JOE: Come on.
PAUL: All right. Big tuna.
Nice to see a mark.
Whoa, whoa. What was that? Here we go. Here we go. Got him!
JOE: We're on! We're on!
PAUL: All right, Rick!
DAVE M: All right. Here we go!
TYLER: We're on! We're on! We're on!
JOE: Oh. He's running now!
DAVE M: Now we just got to hope we can get this sucker to the boat
PAUL: Whoa, whoa. What was that? Here we go. Here we go. Got him!
JOE: We're on! We're on!
PAUL: All right, Rick!
DAVE M: All right. Here we go!
TYLER: We're on! We're on! We're on!
We're on! We're on!
DUFFY: It was a good aggressive bite. It's a big fish, it's got some serious weight.
TYLER: He's got a big bite here.
Really want to capitalize on this fish, catch it, get it into the boat.
Earlier today, we lost a heartbreaker.
Dave Dot Com and Brad on the Fish Hawk are on a tear right now,
so this catch means everything to us.
First thing in the morning, we got a nice big bite.
Couldn't ask for anything better.
DUFFY: All right, bro, let's go to work!
PAUL: We got a bite! We got a bite! Woo!
We're on!
Ricky's got him on!
It's fun, right?
RICK: It's awesome.
It's why we're here.
PAUL: Nice getting him on up and down like that, Ricky, good job.
RICK: It's nice to get 'em on, but then we got to bring 'em in the boat.
I need to get a lot more paychecks for my family.
Pauly, he's just taking a little staying tight, that's all. PAUL: Thank you.
Oh, he's a keeper, there's doubt about that.
RICK: Hard on fishing right now. He's a strong little sucker, that's for sure.
DAVE M: All right, we had a tough trip last trip, so we're looking to redeem ourselves.
Attagirl, hon, yep, great job, great job. That's right.
That's right, but that's all behind us now.
It's the second half of the season and we've had a great kick off.
Now let's hope we can keep running with this ball.
TYLER: Big fish. The pressure's on.
Everyone in the fleet's catching fish.
The race has never been this heated.
Come on, bro, we need this one!
JOE: We'll take anything right now as long as he's 73 inches .
DAVE M: Attagirl.
This fish is a down and dirty fish. I like that.
Usually when they behave like that, they wind up being big fat greasy meatballs.
JOE: Gel's doing a great job on the reel.
She's getting better and better every fish.
ANGELICA: Just come up nice and easy.
DAVE M: Just go easy on him.
A fish of this size could be exactly what we need to help turn this season around.
PAUL: Keeping him nice and tight, that's great.
He doesn't want to be on that hook, does he?
RICK: No. Coming at us.
PAUL: Cuckoo fish.
Wow, he's got pep, huh?
Nice work, Ricky, nice work.
He's a 90-inch fish. RICK: Absolutely.
PAUL: This is just what we need for our comeback.
DAVE M: We're all gonna feel good if we can get this one hanging.
The key is when they're doing this, right? JOE: Yeah.
DAVE M: With just a little bit of extra heat on the side.
He just wants the tip too, right?
And it's just, (bleep) gone. ANGELICA: Are you kidding me?
DAVE M: He's gone. One shark and one short.
That was all our action last week. Now, loss.
Ugh.
This one was gut hooked.
Chewed us off, plain and simple.
We just can't freaking catch a break here.
ANGELICA: Just sucks when you do everything right and there's just like, nothing you can do.
And it doesn't seem like the odds are in your favor at all, but we'll keep trying.
DAVE M: Kidding me? Damn.
If it weren't for bad luck, we'd have no luck at all.
TYLER: Fish is definitely pretty close, he's right here.
He's up on top, he's tail wrapped and he's big.
He could break us off, so we're just trying to be very gentle.
Let's get this one.
DUFFY: Swivel!
There he is!
Get the gaff!
Nice job, T.
TYLER: All right, got him. Get the tail wrap on there buddy.
All right! He's ours. Whoo. DUFFY: All right!
TYLER: Doing what we do, baby!
RICK: Coming up. PAUL: Reel, reel!
RICK: Nice, Paul.
PAUL: You got his meat?
RICK: I got his tail.
PAUL: Good job, Rick.
He's a beauty.
You mark my words; this is the moment the Wicked Pissah starts its comeback.
Yeah, baby!
Pretty good. Nice little fatty, huh? RICK: Whoo!
PAUL: Fat fish. Payday, baby. RICK: Pretty fish.
TYLER: Wow! Look at the shape of this thing!
PAUL: Eighty three inches. Nice. Good job, Ricky, really good job.
RICK: Thanks, brother, thank you.
TYLER: Ninety nine. DUFFY: 99, all right. TYLER: Bam!
DUFFY: That's a fat 99 right there, buddy.
TYLER: That is a fatty.
DUFFY: All right, woo!
TYLER: I want another tuna just like this one.
Let's stick it out a bit longer and see if we can catch more.
DUFFY: Hell, yeah, buddy.
PAUL: Wicked Pissah, coming at ya! We got him.
PJ: Nice, Paul, way to go.
Big boy.
PAUL: Oh, yeah, nice color and everything on him.
What a great start to the week, a nice big tuna fish.
If the quality is as good as I think it is, then this baby is definitely gonna get us
right back on track as being one of the top earning boats in the Gloucester fleet again.
PJ: 466 pounds, Paul. PAUL: What a beautiful fish. PJ: Yeah.
PAUL: Let's see what the core looks like.
PJ: Let's check her out.
PAUL: The buyer looks for color, oil and fat content.
This season our tuna have averaged about 19 bucks a pound.
I'm hoping this one gets us a good payday.
What do you say about this bad boy, huh?
PJ: Big fish. 466. PAUL: Nice.
PJ: Good inside color, tail color's nice. Fat's pretty good.
This one here,
20 dollars a pound. PAUL: Ha-ha! That's a nice one!
I told ya! RICK: That is a Christmas. PJ: Nice.
PAUL: That's a good fish. PJ: Nice payday, Rick.
Way to go. RICK: Thanks, PJ. PAUL: That's a nice fresh one.
This is just what we need to make a dent in the lead that those top earning boats have over us.
Let's go get 'em again, come on. RICK: You bet.
PAUL: We might shoot right to the top.
TYLER: Been a long season.
Set out this season to make a statement.
I want to be the best fisherman in the game, been struggling for years, good years, bad years.
The last couple years we've really gotten consistent.
Really starting to feel like we click.
Yesterday, Duffy and I started this trip with a loss, but then finally we landed a nice big tuna.
Today I'm hoping we can land another one because we really need to start making some big money.
I feel like I can dominate this whole industry and that's what it's all about.
But we've got a lot of ground to make up for in the earnings if we want to start catching up to
guys like, Dave on the Dot Com.
DAVE C: Sunscreen? You guys put sunscreen on?
GEORDIE: Sunscreen? I just put the Dermatone on my lips.
DAVE C: What is it?
GEORDIE: Dermatone. SPF 25 for lips. DAVE C: Well that, yeah.
Things are going really well for us this season.
We're only narrowly behind the Fish Hawk in the earnings, but it's just a matter of time
before the Dot Com takes back the lead.
In the past month of fishing, Sandro, and Geordie and I have landed more tuna than
any other boat in the fleet.
It just comes down to skill and knowledge.
SANDRO: One more bite.
One more bite.
TYLER: Wow, marked a nice one.
SANDRO: Oh, my God! There we go!
We're going off! We're going off! We're going off!
TYLER: Oh, my God! We just marked 20 of 'em.
DAVE C: Oh, he's all over it. He's got to get it.
Oh, he's still on it. He's on it; he's all over it!
SANDRO: Oh, my God! DAVE C: Come on.
Oh, look at this, he's gonna get it.
SANDRO: There he is! There he is! We're on! We're on!
We're on! Start it up!
DAVE C: Wow!
SANDRO: Watch this line when you walk over here.
DAVE C: Look at that. He's pissed off now!
SANDRO: Oh, no!
It's (beep) in gear what do you want?
DAVE C: Shh! No yelling.
SANDRO: Don't (beep) stare at it hitting the hull.
DAVE C: You want to argue about it or we want to fish? Move over, Geordie.
GEORDIE: Go ahead.
DAVE C: Look at that move.
SANDRO: Easy, easy, easy, easy.
DAVE C: Right now, the tensions are high for everyone.
We're all fighting for first place, we're barely ahead of Tyler on the Pinwheel
and going against him pushes us even harder.
TYLER: We're on! DUFFY: Here we go. We're on!
TYLER: We're on! We're on! We're on! We're on!
Get that other down rod up, slow.
DUFFY: Woo!
TYLER: The competition's on, so every bite counts.
Every fish matters right now, who knows who else is fighting fish right now,
we all are catching fish.
DAVE C: We need this right here. Come on, let's get this one.
Come on, Sandro. Good job, good job.
SANDRO: Reverse, reverse, reverse!
DAVE C: This is the fish that's gonna put us back on top right where we belong.
Good color.
GEORDIE: Swivel. SANDRO: Forward.
DAVE C: I got it.
I got it.
I got the fish, right here.
Swivel!
He's on top. There he is. SANDRO: Keep coming back!
Keep coming back. Come on! Come on! Get him come back, come back, come on!
GEORDIE: Take the shot!
I got the fish, right here.
DAVE C: This is the fish that's gonna put us back on top right where we belong.
He's on top. There he is. SANDRO: Keep coming back!
Keep coming back. Come on! Come on! Get him come back, come back, come on!
GEORDIE: Take the shot!
SANDRO: Are you (beep) kidding me? GEORDIE: Piece of (beep).
DAVE C: Oh, (beep).
We started this week only 200 dollars behind the fleet's current top earner
the Fish Hawk, so this tuna would have got us back in the lead, it's disappointing.
SANDRO: What a (beep) joke.
DAVE C: Waste of time.
Oh, what a nightmare.
TYLER: Stay tight on him, you're doing great.
We landed a nice tuna yesterday, but we're well behind the fleet's two top earners.
And with less than a month till the Bluefin season closes, we really need to start making some big money.
So, we need this fish.
DUFFY: Get ready to come around, T.
Under the boat.
Coming around the bow hard, hard, hard, hard!
TYLER: boy, let's just catch this fish.
DUFFY: Deep color.
TYLER: I see it.
Here he is.
DUFFY: Nice, T, get him!
TYLER: Got him!
We got one dart in him, but we don't have him yet.
He's pissed. This fish is pissed.
Nice, Duff.
Woo!
DUFFY: Yeah, baby! Hey, we got half his tail.
All right, baby! TYLER: Woo!
DUFFY: Missile has been launched again.
Pinwheel, moving spots, taking names.
TYLER: Taking names, throwing darts, breaking hearts, cashing checks.
DUFFY: Breaking hearts and throwing darts.
TYLER: Nice, tuna, tuna, tuna.
All right Duff!
DUFFY: All right, let's get a measurement on this guy, bro.
It's the year I was born, he's 87, he's a Duffy tuna. TYLER: Whoo!
Two tuna in two days.
These beauties are just what we needed to help get our season back on track.
Duff, let's get back on the anchor and try and get another one.
DUFFY: All right!
JARRETT: We just marked one!
TIM: Did we? No.
JARRETT: Yeah.
TIM: Yeah. He's streaking up.
TJ: After two weeks of not catching, we're finally having some good luck this trip.
We caught a tuna yesterday and now we're marking another one.
So, hopefully this trip is the start of us turning things around.
DANNY: Oh, my goodness.
TJ: And catching up to the boats who have been making big money recently.
There he is, 150, watch, watch, watch!
TIM: Come on, baby, come on, baby.
DANNY: We're on! We're on!
TIM: We're on! We're on! We're on! We're on! TJ: We're on! We're on!
TIM: He's on!
DANNY: We're on!
TJ: Jarrett, get the anchor, get the anchor.
Michael, get up!
MIKE: Oh, (beep) (beep).
JARRETT: Whoo! TJ: Yeah!
JARRETT: Yeah, baby! Yeah!
TJ: Got 'em on, baby! Good Luck Dan, man.
Good Luck Dan's got us on the meat, baby. Whoo.
TIM: It's a screamer.
DANNY: It's a big fish.
JARRETT: I think it's a big fish, man. TJ: Is it?
JARRETT: Yeah, it's a big fish.
DANNY: Yeah, this is what we came for, to catch a big tuna.
TJ: Jarrett's down and dirty, trying to get him to surrender to the flow and
hopefully we can get him.
Come on, baby, come on, baby.
Oh, come on, baby.
TIM: Yeah, he's dogging now.
Good, dogging makes him tired.
DANNY: Pa-pow!
JARRETT: Go forward, go forward!
MIKE: Swivel. JARRETT: Swivel.
MIKE: Color.
JARRETT: Forward, go forward a little bit. MIKE: Dan, over here.
MIKE: Stand there and hold that.
JARRETT: It's gonna be the next one!
DANNY: Watch out, I want to see him.
JARRETT: Right on TJ's side. DANNY: Wow, that's a big fish!
TJ: It's always tense. Stick him!
Throw the dart.
DANNY: Did you get him? TIM: Got him!
JARRETT: Get a gaff! Gaff!
DANNY: That's big fish! TIM: Big one! Big one! Big one!
DANNY: Oh, my goodness! Get the gaff!
MIKE: I'm right here, I'm right here.
JARRETT: Lower to my right. DANNY: Pop! Pop!
That's a ginormous fish!
TIM: I got the head. I got it. MIKE: Tail rope! DANNY: Tail wrap.
TIM: He's big.
He's got the rope. He's got the rope on him.
He's got it on.
All right!
JARRETT: Yeah! TIM: Whoo!
JARRETT: All right.
TIM: Man, you are a good luck charm, buddy.
(laughs)
TJ: Two nice tuna in two days.
Good job, buddy.
Fish Hawk and Dot Com better look out because things are looking up for the Hot Tuna.
DANNY: A big one.
JARRETT: Dan, what do you think? You want to see how long it is?
DANNY: Yep. 77 inches. TIM: Yeah!
TJ: Nice, baby, nice.
TIM: He's a keeper, he's going in the box.
DANNY: Welcome to the Hotel Hot Tuna.
TIM: Yeah, baby!
DANNY: Pa-pow! Przybyszewski.
JARRETT: That was pretty damn good, actually.
JOE: Well, this is exciting.
ANGELICA: It's almost like we were doing this exact same thing yesterday and the day before.
DAVE M: I know my kids are frustrated right now and so am I.
DAVE M: We hooked up earlier this week, but lost it close to the boat.
Well, we're sitting here and we're waiting.
We're hoping for a fish today, we've had a rough day or two, so we're just trying to get back
on the playing field here and we need a confidence booster if nothing else today.
Knock on wood, there isn't much else more that could go wrong.
We just need some better luck, please tuna gods, bring us some luck.
JOE: Come on!
Oh, there's a fish down at 30.
DAVE M: Right on that (beep) down rod.
JOE: We're on! We're on! We're on!
DAVE M: We're on!
JOE: We're on!
DAVE M: We're on something, here.
Shark.
JOE: Thought we got a fish for a second, but it just turned out to be a shark.
DAVE M: I'm trying to stay calm, but to be honest, it's getting harder and harder.
A person can only take so much failure.
Shark. I never mark nothing.
(music)
DUFFY: Marching up to the top.
TYLER: I'm holding the top, dude, we're just marching away from the rest of the fleet,
just keep going, keep going, later!
Over the past month, Fish Hawk and Dot Com have pulled away from the fleet,
but neither of them have caught so far this week.
So if we can get our third fish here, we'd have a great chance at taking the lead.
It's nice to actually have a boat that we can hold enough ice to sit and stay,
hold enough bait to fish and compete.
You got everything we need.
Now we got all the tools and we're putting it to work.
I'm marking 'em pretty good.
All right we need a bite now. Time for a bite.
DUFFY: We're on!
TYLER: Oh, I'm on! I'm on! We're on!
Ah!
DUFFY: Wooo. Yeah, baby!
I'm marking 'em pretty good.
DUFFY: We're on!
TYLER: Oh, I'm on! I'm on! We're on!
Ah!
DUFFY: Yeah, baby!
TYLER: We need this one, Duff!
Got 'em on, baby! Got 'em on!
Anchor, anchor!
DUFFY: This is a big boy.
TYLER: Go, Duffy!
DUFFY: Down and tight, baby!
TYLER: Hooked up, hooked up! On my third.
BRAD: Woo!
TJ: This is (beep) up, so Tyler's got, he's got three.
SANDRO: Guy's having a (beep) year.
DUFFY: Nice fish here, line's a little bit crazy, but I'm getting (beep) situated.
May see this guy sometime soon.
TYLER: Come on, Duff, we need this fish, baby.
DUFFY: Yeah, brother, we got him.
TYLER: We get this one, it's gonna put us in a good spot on the leaderboard, bro.
We got to take every single bite serious.
It's do or die.
DUFFY: We're gaining on him now.
TYLER: Dude, we are pros.
We are doing what we do.
Down and tight, We're smoking everyone.
The young bucks. We outfish all the old bucks now.
DUFFY: Gonna be like a basketball game, you got to box 'em out!
Deep color, deep color! TYLER: I see him, I see him.
DUFFY: There he is, there he is, T.
TYLER: Oh, deep, deep color. DUFFY: Yup.
TYLER: No doubt this is a hundred-incher
DUFFY: Drill him, brother!
TYLER: Get him! DUFFY: Nice shot!
TYLER: I got him! Tail gaff! Woo! Yeah, buddy!
Take that, Dot Com!
Oh, he's getting away!
DUFFY: Not if I have anything to say about it!
TYLER: Yeah, Duff!
DUFFY: All right!
TYLER: Pinwheel, baby!
DUFFY: All right!
TYLER: Woo!
Yeah, buddy!
DUFFY: That's what I'm talking about.
TYLER: Woo!
Ka-kaw!
It's our show now.
It's a big one.
Wow, a big Bluefin.
Yeah!
(laughs)
DUFFY: I was just gonna say where's Timmy when we need him?
TYLER: Oh, my God!
DUFFY: That's a real one, dude. TYLER: First place, right here.
Let's get a measurement.
I got to know.
What do you got?
DUFFY: 109 and a half.
TYLER: Wow! DUFFY: Yeah, buddy!
TYLER: Our biggest one of the year!
DUFFY: Our biggest fish so far, brother.
TYLER: 109 and a half is the biggest tuna aboard the Pinwheel.
Wow, we feel some real weight right now.
Great job, Duff. What a great season.
First place, right here.
TJ: Hot Tuna is en fuego.
What's happening, Scottso? SCOTT: What's going on, guys?
TJ: We got two onboard today, buddy. SCOTT: All right.
TJ: We got two with Daniel. SCOTT: Nice,
let's check them out.
TIM: This is the one Daniel caught.
DANNY: I caught both.
TJ: After two weeks of not catching anything, I couldn't be happier to have these two beauties to sell.
DANNY: How does it look, Scottso?
SCOTT: 210 pounds. 305 pounds. DANNY: Nice.
TIM: Whoa! Nice butterball there.
TJ: Want to get some tail cuts and core samples, we'll come up?
SCOTT: Yeah, come on up.
TJ: They look nice. SCOTT: Yeah.
You did a good job, bud. DANNY: Thanks.
SCOTT: So, this one right here, a little bit of fat in him, good color, good core.
We'll get you guys
18 dollars a pound TJ: Whoo, nice, nice! TIM: Nice. We'll take that.
SCOTT: And with this one right here.
TJ: That's a nice fish.
SCOTT: Good shape on him. Good core on it.
That'll do
19 dollars a pound. TIM: Woo!
TJ: Pa-pow, baby! MIKE: Very good job, Daniel!
MIKE: That's our good luck charm.
TJ: Pa-pow!
Hot Tuna is back in the game.
Those other guys better look out.
DAVE M: Sooner or later we should be able to bump into a fish I would hope.
I've caught a lot of fish here, but the whole trick to this game is when to be where.
ANGELICA: I can't help but worry and I know my dad's worried.
It's been almost three weeks since we've landed Bluefin and got a paycheck.
DAVE M: The baits are fine; let's see if we can get on some fish.
ANGELICA: This week boats have been catching a lot of fish and making some big money,
but all we've managed this trip is to lose a big tuna and hook up to a shark,
so we can't afford to have anything else to go wrong.
DAVE M: We just got to wait some more.
This spot, like all the spots I've hit, I've caught a lot of fish in the past,
let's just hope it's hot right now.
Well, we're fishing.
There's a couple down there, Joe.
Looks like -looks like one, looks like one, so looks like he came up a little bit.
JOE: Dad, we're on! We're on! We're on!
DAVE M: We're on!
We're on, got him?
JOE: He's taking all the line.
DAVE M: We're on a fish.
DAVE M: I want to get up on him, Joe, but I got to get this in first.
This is not good.
A tuna has swum around our anchor line, and with all the friction,
the fishing line or even our anchor line could part.
We just can't afford to lose any more money this season.
Fish (beep) sawed off a thousand dollar anchor.
The (beep) fish.
Every (beep) time, we get (beep) right (beep) (beep) (beep).
Can't catch a (beep) break this (beep) season.
Five thousand dollars for a (beep) pump, another thousand bucks for a (beep) anchor.
Should just cut this (beep) line now, what the (beep) (beep) over.
(beep)! We got to get this one.
This tuna had better be big, otherwise this is gonna put us even further in the red.
(beep) (beep) (beep) (beep) (beep) (beep) (beep) (beep).
ANGELICA: Once again, we have another fallback.
We lost the anchor and he has to somehow buy a new anchor I guess.
DAVE M: (beep) rotten, (beep) prick.
ANGELICA: This is the first time in a long time that I've seen my dad this upset.
DAVE M: (beep)! Wow!
ANGELICA: My dad can handle a lot, but this one just pushed him over the edge.
JOE: There's a swivel!
DAVE M: Gonna get that (beep) stinker up.
Deep color!
Pull him into me now. Pull him in.
It's not a monster, but it's a keeper.
-Not good -There you go.
Yeah, it's legal, but this is definitely the smallest tuna of the season.
Wow, (beep)!
JOE: There's a swivel!
stinker up, Deep color!
Pull him into me now. Pull him in.
It's not a monster, but it's a keeper.
-Not good -There you go.
Yeah, it's legal, but this is definitely the smallest tuna of the season.
Wow, (beep)!
JOE: It's a lot of pressure and sometimes you just, it builds up and you just snap,
so it just happens.
DAVE M: Fish sawed off a thousand dollar anchor.
For a (beep) 200 pound fish.
We would have been better off not (beep) catching it.
Drove all the way out here for (beep) nothing.
Drive all the way (beep) home and throw some more (beep) money away.
Man, God just loves (beep) shoving his (beep) (beep) up my (beep) man.
What a (beep) up season.
What a (beep) up (beep) year.
74 and a half
Just over the 73-inch minimum length 200-pound fish.
He sawed off a thousand dollar anchor.
We can't even fish for more fish now because we (beep) lost our anchor because of this (beep)
(beep) (beep) (beep).
JOE: Just when we thought it was starting to go our way, we just (beep),
another thing happens.
ANGELICA: Again, we're still operating at a negative.
It (beep) sucks.
(music)
JUDY: Hey, guys.
TYLER: What's up, moms? DONNA: Hi.
Glad to see you here safe.
TYLER: I always get us in safe, mom.
DONNA: My first concern. GUT: I keep an eye on 'em ma.
DONNA: Yeah, you just pay 'em a good price, Gut.
TYLER: Got three beauties for you, Gut. GUT: Oh, nice!
TYLER: And really putting the pressure on the rest of the fleet.
They're all doing the Dot Com twitch.
GUT: Here we go.
All right, let's check 'em out.
TYLER: It's great to be greeted by our moms and it's even sweeter that they're seeing us
bring back a big catch.
Brother, what we got?
GUT: 253. 359. 533 dressed.
TYLER: Beautiful! DUFFY: Woo! All right, bro.
JUDY: Good job, guys, great fish.
TYLER: We're coming up to check it out.
At the start of the week, we were trailing Fish Hawk and Dot Com by more than 14 grand.
Both of them struck out, so there's a chance that we could take the lead.
Hi, mom. How you doing? DONNA: Hey, the fish look great guys.
TYLER: Good to see you, mom. DONNA: Oh, honey.
DUFFY: Good to see you.
TYLER: All right, Gut. What have you got for us?
GUT: This one here.
It's a decent fish, good core.
Not loaded with fat, but it's got some fat.
I'm gonna give you 16.
DONNA: Oh, no way. GUT: Sorry, it's a wreck.
What can I tell you? TYLER: I see it. I see it.
GUT: The little one's got some fat.
Got a real nice core.
DONNA: Look at those veins.
GUT: Oh, yeah, yup.
19 dollars.
TYLER: Wow, awesome, Gut.
Beautiful. Beautiful.
GUT: This one here. DONNA: The big boy.
TYLER: All right, ring the bell come on.
GUT: That's a nice. TYLER: Ding, ding, ding.
DONNA: That's a beautiful fish. You have to admit it.
GUT: That's a good fish there, a lot of fat, core's not bad.
DONNA: The core's beautiful.
GUT: That one there, I'll give you.
TYLER: The lead is gonna come down to how much we get for this fish.
GUT: 19 dollars. TYLER: All right! Bingo!
Good job, dude. DUFFY: Ringing the bell!
TYLER: Almost 21 grand.
That's exactly what we need to head into the homestretch of the season with a handy lead.
Pinwheel, baby.
JUDY: Good job. Get some rest.
TYLER: Peace and love.
DAVE M: All right, Scotty, we got one.
It came at a price, though.
He sliced off our anchor on his first run.
SCOTT: Wow, there goes your check.
DAVE M: Yeah.
After going almost three weeks without a fish we finally landed one.
But we lost a thousand-dollar anchor in the process.
It's hard; we just can't seem to get a break this season.
What do you got, Scotty?
SCOTT: 177 pounds dressed.
DAVE M: I'm not sure it was worth the price, but it's better than a sharp stick in the eye, I guess.
So far this season our fish have averaged about 20 dollars a pound,
so I'm hoping this fish is good quality too because God knows we need a good payday.
Am I at least gonna break even?
SCOTT: Mmmm. You know, he's a bit of a skinny fish.
Kind of rubbery.
There's really no fat to it.
I'd have to say you're gonna get
7 dollars a pound.
DAVE M: Well sometimes steps forward are just baby steps.
Baby steps?
This fish barely covers the cost of the anchor.
Looks like it's the dollar menu for us tonight for dinner.
I think the next trip I'll call it a success if nothing breaks.
NARRATOR: With only three wees until the end of fishing, Pinwheel's triple catch
pushes them back into the lead for the first time in seven weeks and good quality fish
for Hot Tuna and Wicked Pissah keep them in the race.
Meanwhile, Hard Merchandise's disappointing payday puts them even further behind the pack.
TYLER: Woo! First place on the leaderboard is ours, baby.
Come on!
MATT: No, really how old are you?
TYLER: Twenty-nine, bro.
MATT: You talk like you're (beep) 50 you got the experience of a 75 year old.
I don't know how you're only 29.
DAVE C: Right, Geordie? GEORDIE: What's that?
DAVE C: If we had all the answers to fishing we'd be millionaires.
GEORDIE: If we had all the answers to fishing, I bet we wouldn't be sitting here.
DANNY: Tyler sucks. I hate him. No one likes him.
TIM: Nerd. Poser.
TJ: I can't stand to listen to him talk, like, complete rubbish.
PAUL: Tyler works really, really hard.
I know he's catching a lot of fish because TJ talks about it every day.
(laughs)
TYLER: Thanks for playing.
Woo! Yeah!
