05x10 - Old Golly Whopper

[bunniefuu]

NARRATOR: On this episode of
Wicked Tuna Outer Banks...

MIKE: Look, see
they're crashing.

GREG: Come on, baby!

NARRATOR: Injured captain,
Greg Mayer returns
to reclaim his lead.

GREG: You guys are slipping.

BILLON: We're not slipping.

GREG: I don't plan on
staying in second place.

NARRATOR: But he's going
to have an uphill battle.

JARRETT: Boom!
TJ: We are on!

WILL: Don't bother me now.

NICK: We need this one!

NARRATOR: With the
clock ticking...

DALE: We've got to get to
something out of the quota.

NARRATOR: Who will
cave under pressure?

-You have not been
paying attention.

-Dude, I'm stressed
off my gourd.

-Do your job.

-Dude, I'm done
with this dude.

-Take his a*s!
-Missed him.

-What happened with the dart?

NARRATOR: And who will
catch a monster...

CLIFF: Oh, massive!
-That's so cool.

-We're looking for a big one.

NARRATOR: To change the game?

-Got 'em on.
Stick him!

TJ: Don't tangle these lines.

NARRATOR: This is
Wicked Tuna Outer Banks.

DALE: I'm gonna need therapy
when this season's over.

NARRATOR: Northern contender
Hot Tuna commands the lead for
the third time this season,

with Southern boats
Fishin' Frenzy and Little
Shell close behind.

Meanwhile Gloucester's recent
champion, Pinwheel stews
in the middle of the pack.

GREG: Dirty, you ever
worked in a warehouse,
like wrapping stuff?

-Yea, yeah, I can.

BILLON: We got Greg back.

We're going to, uh,
see what we can do.

GREG: I just, I feel I
wanna go under my arm and go
right on my shoulder, tight.

BILLON: Greg wrecked his
shoulder real bad, so Jay and
I went fishing without him.

We caught two Bluefin.

-One, two, three.

BILLON: And only lost one.

-Yeah, I don't
think he's there.

BILLON: I think
that's pretty good.

-Make the tension,
I'll spin it.

You want it down or up?

GREG: Down, you
guys are slipping.

-We're not slipping.

GREG: My last trip, I finally
got the Frenzy in the top
spot for the first time this

season, but then I let
Dirty and Billon take the
boat and TJ got ahead of us,

so now we're in second place.

That's unacceptable.

I've got no choice but to
get back in the captain's
chair no matter how

much my shoulder hurts.

We're here to
regain the crown.

The last couple days
at the house, I tried
wearing the sling,

I tried not wearing the sling,

and it didn't seem
to make much difference
one way or the other.

I'm gonna try and just
keep it immobilized today
and hope for the best.

-If anybody who does
not like to be near an exit,
please let me know at this time.

BILLON: Okey-dokey.

GREG: The doctor said I've
got a tear in my shoulder.

There's nothing he can
immediately do to treat it.

So, I wanna be a part of it.

I wanna be out here.

I don't plan on staying
in second place.

I'm not, I'm not here
to sit at the dock.

Ow!

Son of a [bleep].

Oh, God.

I hope we land in them today.

I don't wanna be out here
any longer than I have to be.

TYLER: Just getting back
here to the fishing grounds.

We lost a fish on our
last trip and we're in
fourth place right now.

Yo, Duffy.

Let's go fishing.

We're now the
middle-of-the-pack boat.

It's very frustrating.

With the quota halfway
caught already, we're
running out of time.

It's imperative that
we start catching.

Yo, Duffy.
Let's go fishing.

TYLER: Please,
I'm ready to go.

I'm your captain, man.
Let's go fishing.

You wanna lay in bed all day?

TYLER: Okay, listen,
I, I, nothing, it's not.

TYLER: So, I'm
here to go fishing.

So let's put the break out
and let's go fishing, okay?

Help me set out the
stick because that's
what we're here to do.

We're here to fish.

We're getting close to
the fishing grounds and I need
Duffy to have everything ready

to go on the back deck.

Duffy signed
up for the grind,

so this is not the time to
slack off and take a nap.

We don't have any
time to waste.

So I'm asking you to
come out and go fishing.

If you don't want to
go fishing, you want
to lay up in the bunk?

TYLER: Okay.

-You should steam.
That's your job.

-Just [bleep] stop.
I should have steamed?

-You're complaining
to me about your job?

-I should steam, bud?
-Yeah, you should be steaming.

-No, I have, don't
have to [bleep] steam.

-You should steam.
Well listen, we're
gonna set up a stick.

You should steam.

Yes, you do steam, that's
part of your job criteria.

-Oh, that's part
of my job criteria?

-Yes, you should steam.

-You never even [bleep]
step foot on the back
deck once ever, dude.

-Yeah, I do. I can
catch 'em without
you, Duffy.

-Tyler's under a
lot of pressure in his mind
to be number one down South

like we were up North.

TYLER: I have a mate
that I can make take
a steam, so I do that.

-Oh, God, dude we got,
he screams and yells.

He nitpicks my deck work
when he's just stressed out
to get out of his own head.

TYLER: It's not my fault.

I don't, what you do.

When it's time to
work, you need to be
ready to go to work.

I don't wanna hear you're
tired, you're this.

I want to just go
fishing and go to work.

-[bleep] you.

I have all my [bleep]
always prepped by
the time we get here.

-[bleep] you, dude.

GREG: Just watch
your left long while I'm
gonna tighten this turn.

BILLON: All right well,
I'm looking at the line.

GREG: Oh, no, I gotcha.

It's not gonna take
very long, Dirty.

-All right, I got one out.
-Good.
-Get us a 99-incher today.

GREG: Let's see if they bite.

BILLON: Oh, I hope so.

NICK: Oh dammit, dammit,
dammit, Greg's back.

The Frenzy's in second
place right now.

Greg lost to Griff last year
and it really scarred his ego.

I think Greg didn't have
full confidence in his crew.

He wants to get
back out there.

I think he's out to
reclaim his trophy.

But if I have anything
to do with it, I'm
gonna get that trophy.

Damn.

TJ: You know, Dirty and
Billon performed just like
if Greg was on the boat.

And they might, they might
even have more fun without
Greg being there, who knows?

I knew those guys
would catch fish.

This season's been all
about redemption for us.

Finishing at the bottom
of the fleet last season
absolutely sucked.

Winning would be the
ultimate prize for us.

I heard Greg's still
in pain, but he's back.

He doesn't want Billon and
Dirty losing any more ground.

And I'm curious to
see how it pans out.

MARCIANO: Well,
Frenzy's at it again.

He's back with the boys.

The man knows his job.

The red boat is on fire.

We'll just have to see.
We're gonna mosey on down.

We're a couple
miles from them, maybe we'll
have a shot at getting out

of here early today.

That's what we're
hoping anyway.

GREG: I hated
sitting on the dock.

This is the time of year
I like to be out here.

I wanna be out here
every day I can.

-Welcome back, dude.

BILLON: It's good to be back.

It's good to back.

We're in an old favorite
spot of ours this morning.

-Yeah, right here
and right there.

BILLON: That's right.

GREG: After being the
top dog three out of
the last four years,

I wanna take back
that number one spot.

And if we're gonna do that,
we've got to take back
the lead from the Hot Tuna.

And I've got to keep
an eye on Little Shell.

I taught Nick a lot
about Bluefin-fishing.

He's good.

But he's still not
quite as good as me.

-I got a feeling they're
gonna be jumping any minute.

GREG: It appears to me to
be a possible sonar contact.

BILLON: Maybe we will have
possible bait contact.

GREG: This looks like
what we're looking for.

Come on, baby!

-Come on, you all come
eat, food's in the bowl.

GREG: That's the meat.

-Come on, right
here, left bite.

We got him on.

Woo, we have made contact.

GREG: Come on, baby!

-Got 'em on!
-Got 'em on!
-Got a doubleheader on.

GREG: We're on and
there's two of them.

TJ: Dammit.

NICK: Damn.

MARCIANO: [bleep].

DALE: Billon and Dirty
did pretty well with
the Frenzy without Greg.

I don't know
that they need Greg.

I think Greg, he might be
just riding along pretty much
as a mascot at this point.

-Crazy, baby.

GREG: You know
one's going out this way,
one's going out that way.

It's a doubleheader.

I don't know what's
gonna happen.

These fish are unpredictable.

We've got to try
to keep them apart.

If the lines cross, they could
easily cut each other off.

We'd lose both.

-I think you are over.

-Watch that line.

-Billon, it appears
to be over my line.

-Go ahead and switch 'em.

-Switch.

Here, I'll go here.

GREG: Along with our
small 39 metric ton quota
this season, we've got a one

Bluefin per day limit.

This is the problem
you know, last year, we're
allowed to keep three a day.

Catch a doubleheader,
you take both of them.

Now this is gonna be
like playing a game show,
we get the one we've got to

find out what's behind
door number two.

-Yeah.

GREG: Is this, is this
bigger than that one?

Do you take the one or
you go for the other one?

Roll of the dice here.

-Dammit.

-He might have come off.

-He might have, I hope not.

-I don't like
when they do that.

-Dammit, he's gone.

-Okay, it looks like it's
gonna be door number two.

-Glad we're down to one
and not down to none.

GREG: There's no margin
for error if we wanna
get ahead of Hot Tuna.

Careful, guys.

Let's not lose this one.

-And I got color right here.

He's right here.

-Give us a shot nice and easy.

Missed him.

-How did I do that?

-Come on, baby!

That's the one we want.

-Beautiful, we'll
get him this time.

-That's the one we want.

-Gonna come around
and come up!

-Stick him!

-Oh!

-Again?

-Missed him, missed him.

-Quick, quick, quick, quick,
quick, quick, quick, quick!

-Get, get it, get
it, right there!

-Take his a*s.

-I got him.

-That's the shot.

Got him on the live line.

Get a gaff.

Top loin.

-You got him?

-Yeah, go around
the bottom first.

-Okay, got him?
-Yeah, we got him.
-Beautiful, pretty work, boys.

-Thank you, Skipper.

-That's fishing.

-Pretty work, Cap.

GREG: Let's see what we got.

Pull him up on the tape.

Nice fish.

BILLON: Awesome,
moment of truth.


they all add up.

-He's got some shape though.

Look how round he is.

BILLON: Yeah, man.

GREG: All right, we got
a nice one here today.

Put him in the boat and
let's get out of here.

NICK: Frenzy got one.
That put him one
up on us again.

CHARLIE: Dag, burn it all.

TJ: [bleep]!

BRITTON: There's at
least one around.
I hope it's two.

One for him, one for me.

GREG: Basically, it looks
like 13 minutes we fished
today before we had a bite.

Not too shabby for
a busted up captain.

TJ: Jarrett's sleeping.

I'll help you set out.

Just firing the bird
out quick and gonna get
the stick up in the air.

MIKE: We're on a roll.

Let's keep it up, buddy.

TJ: Hot Tuna's flying high.

We've been running with
the big dogs all season
long and right now we're

number one in the earnings.

MIKE: It's game time.

TJ: We're being more
aggressive this year and
fishing more than ever and

it's paying off big time.

We're blowing some of the
other boats out of the water.

MIKE: We're here to prove
to all those haters that
we still got what it takes.

CLIFF: This is not our turn.

-We can't catch the
itch in an ivy patch.

Ain't good.

NICK: Boys, I have complete
confidence that we're
gonna get one before dark,

I honestly do.

It's been a tight race
between the Little Shell,
the Hot Tuna, and the Frenzy.

Family is taken care
of and our bills are paid,
we're here to show everybody

Little Shell's a contender.

Last year we were
a mid-pack boat at my
first year running it.

This year,
everything's clicking.

We're gonna win.

I'll tell you the sad part.

We're such good fishermen
that we're upset that
we're in third place.

That's how bad
we think we suck.

TJ: We got fish on the screen.

Here they are.

We're in the meat!

NICK: Here's a mark.

-Come on, baby, come on,
let me get you dancing.

TJ: Let's get a bite here.

CLIFF: I wanna see you
jump out of the water.

Come on, fish.

MIKE: All we need
is a dumb one.

NICK: Here's more
marks, 20 fathom.

TJ: Got to get on some fish.

NICK: Eighteen fathom.
Looks good, man.

MIKE: O, there it is,
got him on the stick.

TJ: We are on, yeah,
baby, hooked up.

MIKE: Got 'em on, baby!

TJ: First place is ours.

TJ: We got fish on the screen.

Here they are.
We're in the meat.

NICK: Here's the mark.

We are in third place
but I won't let those mangy
Northern dogs on Hot Tuna

win in my backyard.

CLIFF: Come on, fish.

MIKE: All we need
is a dumb one.

NICK: Here's more
marks, 20 fathom.

TJ: We got to
get on some fish.

NICK: Eighteen fathom.

Looks good, man.

MIKE: Oh, there it is,
got him on the stick.

TJ: We are on, yeah,
baby, hooked up.

MIKE: Got 'em on, baby, woo!

TJ: Good job, Bubby,
let's get this one.

NICK: TJ's on.

-Are you kidding me?

CLIFF: And the suck
just keeps coming.

MIKE: Jarrett, we got him on.

TJ: Did you see him?

MIKE: Yeah, it was
a big expl*si*n.

That was him.

TJ: He still there?

Did we lose it?

MIKE: I don't know.

TJ: He's gone.

MIKE: Yeah, that was
a nice expl*si*n too.

TJ: [bleep]! Ugh! Dammit!

MIKE: Look, broke again.

TJ: What's with these
[bleep] red ones!

MIKE: Why does
that keep breaking?

TJ: I have no [bleep] idea.

MIKE: Had him on.

Broke him off.

TJ: Broke them off, man.

What, hey, hey, The last-I
broke off my number three
drop two days in a row.

The same drop always breaks.

NICK: Holy [bleep].

That's funny.

TJ: Oh, what a bummer.

[bleep]!

MIKE: Hopefully we
get another one here.

TJ: Oh, it was all
too good to be true.

GREG: We're coming
for you, TJ.

-Back in action.
How's the wing today?

-Oh, it's okay.

We got the lucky bite
right out of the gate.

-All right, let's see
what she's all about.

-Open sesame.
-Let's do it.
-Take her away.

The buyer's assessing
the quality of the fish.

The higher fat content
translates into a
higher price per pound.

Not a bad little fish.

-Yeah, we're getting a
pickle dish this year.

GREG: What do you think?
How big is he?

-257 dressed, guys.
Let's check it out.

GREG: Right now, we're only
about $1,200 behind Hot Tuna,
so a good price will easily

put us back in the lead.

-Look at the fat
in this fish, guys.

Really nicely fanned out
through the major lobes.

Mary, let's see what the
core color looks like.

-Yeah.

-It's a nice fish for Japan.

-What do you think Japan
would give us for it?

-Oh.

-I'm gonna pay you
guys $18 a pound.

-Woo!
-Nice one.

-Never gets old,
never gets old.

-You know something?
That's not bad for


-Well done, guys
-I'll buy the beer.

-Good job.
-Yeah, thank you.

GREG: That's enough
to put us back on top.

We got you, TJ.

-I wanna see some
cool [bleep].

-Beat it!

We might not be having the
best season and we really
do need to be catching

some more Bluefin.

-Lots of manta rays
these guys are seeing.

-Where?
I want to see a manta ray.

-You'll see them.
Keep your eyes open.

But what's making things
worthwhile on one level is
seeing Angelica and Joseph

experience kind of
a whole new world down
here in the Outer Banks.

-I wanna see a manta ray.

-Keep your eyes open.

You will not see any
inside the cabin here.

-Joe, let me know if
you see a manta ray.

TYLER: We're out here
trying to make a check, so
hopefully we can grind out

a fish or two.

All right, throw
the stick out.

-Huh?

TYLER: Let's catch a
fish today, brother.

Let's get one.

Just because we're the
top boat up in Gloucester,
it doesn't mean a thing down

here in the Outer Banks.

Right now, we're
in fourth place.

There's nothing worse
than being behind TJ.

It's really a kick
in the [bleep].

Year after year, we've
always been tracing behind
the Frenzy and this year

might be no different.

Little Shell's doing
everything they can to try and
out-fish us, and that sucks.

We need to put some
tuna on our deck and
we got to do it fast.

Put the stick out.

Let's catch a fish
today, brother.

-You got to pull it out
of gear for a sec there.

I'm gonna knock it
out for a sec, Ty.

-Duff, how do you let
the line get tangled?

How do, how do you
let that happen?

-Dude, it slacked.
It was on.

-You got to hold
the spool I thought.

-I was, dude.
I was grabbing the squid.

-Yeah, okay. Sure.

But wait 'til the
spool settles before
you grab the squid.

-Dude, I asked you knock it
back and you weren't watching.

-I did knock it back, bro.
-You weren't watching.
-I did knock it back, bro.

I took it out and
gave it for you.

-You didn't knock it.

Go! Knock it now.

-Hell, how the hell are
we gonna catch a tuna?

We can't even set out.

Bro, you're supposed
to be an all-star.

-Oh, [bleep].

-Come on, you are shot, bro!

Dropping a bait over
the side that's not
attached to the line,

he's wasting our time
and wasting our money.

They don't even make
those hooks anymore.

-That was one of the
other smaller ones.

-They don't make them anymore.

[bleep], bro.

Pay a-[bleep]-tention, dude.

-Dude, all you've been doing
is [bleep] at me all day.

-Pay attention because you
have not [bleep] attention.

-I'm stressed off my gourd.

All we do is [bleep] fight.

-Do your job, bro.
Do your job, dude!
Do your job.

Duffy's shot right
now and it's not good.

He's not fishing
at a high level.

Expenses are mounting
and we're running out of
time to make it happen,

so we just can't
be having this.

You don't know if you're
coming, going, coming going.

Can't even set out.

-When things
aren't going well.

Tyler usually takes it out
on me, turns into a drill
sergeant and questions my

ability to fish.

-Not my problem, man.
-Dude, it was four feet out.

I was like, asked you before.

-Yeah, man you're
never wrong, dude.
You're so right.

Hey, let me ask
you a question.
Let me ask you question.

-You're never [bleep]
wrong either, bro.

It was four feet out, dude.
I'm reaching like this.

-Who lost the drop over?
Who lost the drop over?
Who lost the drop over?

Who lost the drop over?
You lost the drop over.

-Yeah, I already, yeah, sorry.
I did, you're right.

-That's good, okay good.

-You had it, dude, I needed
you to take it out of gear,

I asked you to
take it out of gear.

-Wait, what? What? What?
You didn't need to, no.

-Yes, I did.

-Dude, you shouldn't need
it coming out of gear, bro,
unless you're amateur hour.

DUFFY: What?

TJ: We had a bite.

It's just a matter of
putting this thing over
the right position.

It's all about the
steering wheel.

MIKE: Oh, what just
broke off the bow?

That was just a fish.

Look! Look!
See they're crashing!

TJ: Where are you looking?

That's them! That's them.

We've lost a fish
earlier today and it's
really dragging us down.

We were ahead of everyone
in the earnings until
Frenzy caught a fish.

Now, Greg's ahead of us.

All right, all right, all
right, watch the sticks.

So we've got to land a
tuna and retake our lead.

We're determined to show
everyone we've got what it
takes to win this thing.

We've got to make
something happen here.

NICK: Not much happening.
A handful of bites
this morning.

Frenzy got one.

After catching that fish,
the Fishin' Frenzy is now
on top and the Hot Tuna

is just on fire right now.

But a Northern boat will
never win down here if I
have anything to do with it.

I feel a huge amount
of pressure right now.

I need to get a bite and
jump ahead of these guys.

Oh, just hoping to get lucky.

Here you go, Brandan.

Here's a mark.

Good-looking mark coming
across there, 50-foot, now


TJ: We're marking some fish.
We got fish on the screen.

They're busting all
around us, boys.
This is the spot.

NICK: Good God.
Come on, baby!

CLIFF: That's, that's
a good mark, Brandan.

TJ: Come on, we've
got to get a bite.

CLIFF: Oh, there he is,
there he is, he's on it.

-Damn!

NICK: We're on, right here.

CLIFF: That's a nice fish.

-He broke the whole
stick and everything.

-Yee-haw.
-Right there!
-Come on, fish.

This is our chance, boys.

MIKE: Oh, we just missed him.

I got him.

Oh, [bleep].

Keep going back, go back!

TJ: All right, hold him.

MIKE: Dude, I told you
the stick exploded.

TJ: Is it one or two?

MIKE: Two fishes.

JARRETT: I'm on
right here too.

I'm on, on the reel.

TJ: Holy [bleep], the back
of the boat just blew up.

We got hit by two fish
that destroyed our bandit
and now we've got a third

one on the rod.

JARRETT: Are you over top?

TJ: This is a very
tricky spot, because if
we cross these lines,

we could end up with
nothing out of all this.

MIKE: Go under,
go under, go under.

TJ: Don't tangle
these lines now.

MIKE: Jarrett, I'm trying.

TJ: Bubby, take this rod,
take this rod, take this
rod, take this rod.

JARRETT: [bleep] you, dude.

MIKE: We're losing him,
come on!

I got him.

JARRETT: Boom!
I'm on right here too. I'm on.

TJ: Holy [bleep].

Don't tangle these lines now.

MIKE: We're hooked up
to three fish right now.

They can cut each other off.

TJ: Yeah, keep going,
keep going over, Jarrett.

Keep going over.

MIKE: And we'll
be left with zero.

TJ: Go over here.

[bleep], Jarrett.

JARRETT: Come on.

MIKE: Jarrett, I'm trying
hand the rod to TJ.

TJ: Bubby, take this rod.

Take this rod, take
this rod, take this rod,
go, go, take the rod!

MIKE: We're losing
him, come on!

TJ: Oh, my God.

That could have
been catastrophic.

NICK: All right,
here's our first drop.

-I thought he was on that one.

Did we lose him?

NICK: No, our
ball's pulled out.

He's there, if he's getting
away, he can't be there.

CLIFF: He's got to
be on the next one. Hey.

NICK: I don't know
if he's there now.

Something happened here.

It ain't looking good.

CLIFF: I don't know
if he is there.

-That's it. He's gone.
-Boy, that's heartbreaking.
-[bleep].

-Why?

-It's frustrating.

-If it weren't for bad
luck, we would have no luck.

TJ: Is he still there?

MIKE: I think so.
It's how it sounded.

Might not be now.

I got some weight here,
but it's coming in.

I think it's just a bird now.

No headshaking.

-Not just the bird right?

-Yeah, it feels like it.

-That's rope.

How the [bleep]
did it backlash?

-The [bleep].

That thing hit like
a freight train.

It came completely out
of the [bleep] water.

Had a double on that's
why it exploded like that.

Broke two off.

TJ: Thankfully we
got one fish left, but we
can't afford to lose him.

All right, let's
move it back, Jar.

Let's pull this
one on the boat.

-This guy's got some
life left in him still.

-Tough little b*stard.

-We got color, there he is.

-TJ, one, do one more circle.

Maybe they come up this time.

-Throw it! Throw it!

-Got him!

-That's a keeper.

-Where's the gaff?

Oh, [bleep].

Swing the rod this way,
swing the rod this way.

Get another gaff, yep.

-You got him?
-Yeah.

[grunt]

-Get another gaff.
Tail rope.

-Tail rope. Oh, [bleep].
-Gaff broke.
-Get another gaff.

-Yeah, those are great.
-Get a gaff.
-That's good.

-His right, his
right, his right!

-Right, right, right,
let's not lose him here.

-Get a rope.

Come on, up a little higher.

Woo, yeah, woo!

-Holy [bleep]!
-Yeah!

-Let's pull him up,
welcome aboard.

-Whoo.
-Yeah, baby!
-Nice work.

-Good job, buddy, good job.

Let's measure this bad boy.


-81 on the button.
-Nice.
-Nice, on the button.

-Happy to have him, baby.

-That was a hell
of a fight, man.

TJ: Now, that was cool.

Landed a nice 81-incher,
so we're headed to the barn.

MARCIANO: Okay,
perfect, thank you.

Nice going, man.

Hopefully, it will be a
quick turnaround for us too.

Maybe today's the day.

TJ: We are en fuego
right now, man.

This is our year here.

You know, these guys always
had a lot to say about us.

And we're here to show
them that the pelicans
can make it happen.

Now, that is what you
call tuna fishing.

CLIFF: TJ caught another fish.

We did not.

We unfortunately
had some bad luck.

So now he's a
fish ahead of us.

NICK: We've been right
up there in the game with
the Hot Tuna and Frenzy,

but they both caught another
fish today and pulled
even further ahead of us.

This ain't setting well
with any one of us.

CLIFF: Since we ain't
been paying the insurance
payments and the boat fuel.

Do we got some
tape in there, man?

I think I'm gonna write
for sale on this carpet.

NICK: Yeah, yeah.

I mean, there's a
lot perspective boat
owners out here.

I didn't think about that.

CLIFF: That's what I'm saying.

Yeah, yeah.

NICK: Okay, yeah,
we'd do that.

-Yeah, I don't win
at this at all.

I'm out here not catching a
fish and now I lost my job.

I'm over it.

NICK: Some of these boats
are actually catching them.

So, you might get on a
good boat, you don't know.

When things get
real bad, you gotta
either laugh or cry.

Yes.

Bottom line is, ain't no
crying in tuna fishing.

Let's make an excellent sign.

Hey, maybe we should
put "for sale, cheap."

-No, I want to do a
four and then S-A-I-L.

That's not [inaudible].

CLIFF: We got to do the O.

NICK: Uh-oh.
Jig the stick, Brandan.

Big mark.

If we get a bite while
we're doing this,
it's gonna be awesome.

-Is he [bleep] with me?

NICK: Oh, my gosh.

CLIFF: Come on,
fish, start the S.

-You got to use the same font.

So, it's got to be
a backwards five.

CLIFF: That's what it's worth.

NICK: Dammit. He's gone.

CLIFF: For sale.

NICK: We're never
gonna get a bite.

CLIFF: All right, hold her up.

See what she looks like.

This is what Nick
has brought us to.

We can't catch, so we
got to sell our stuff.

NICK: Hey, we just
got our first offer.

CLIFF: Yes! Yes! Sold.

-This guy here just made
a offer on the boat.

-What'd he offer?

-Cigarettes.
A case of beer.

We'll see if anybody
else got a higher bid.

TJ: We're coming
for you, Frenzy.

What's up, Scotso?

-Hey, guys. Doing good.

TJ: We got a nice little
diamond, it looks like.

Good shape.

-Let's check it out.

TJ: What do we got, Scotty?

-223 pounds dressed.

TJ: Let's get him
checked out, huh?

-All right, let's do it.

TJ: Frenzy caught a fish
earlier and pulled ahead
of us by about $3,400.

So, we're gonna need a
solid price if we're gonna
leapfrog back on top.

-Not a bad fish, guys.

-Great.

-Good shape,
great color on it.

-Uh-hmm.

-Fat in the minors,
fat in the majors.

-Like a New England fish.

-Let's see what the
core looks like.

Good glow to it.

-It is beautiful.
-Yeah, looks really good.

-That's a good thing, buddy.
What are you thinking?

-Well, I'll get you guys.

$21 a pound.

-Nice! Hell yeah, baby!

That's an excellent price
and it puts us ahead
of Frenzy once again.

We're in it to win it and as
long as we can keep on going,
we're gonna keep on coming.

Hot Tuna, baby! Pa-pow!

DALE: It's definitely looked
more like tunas than porpoises
up here and they were all on

one spot splashing,
now they're everywhere
and they're not biting.

Hey, Will?

WILL: Yeah?

DALE: How'd you like to
be the relief driver?

I need a [bleep] break, dude.

WILL: I hear you.

DALE: We're driving around,
there's [bleep] tunas
everywhere and we can't

get a bite.

We got to get something
out of the quota.

To only have two
fish this late in the
season is terrible.

It's like we're not even
in it and worse than that,
we're not paying bills.

We're losing money here.

I'd throw in the towel
and go home, except
that ain't in my blood.

It sucks losing, but
it's even worse knowing
that you didn't even try.

So, we're gonna plug away at
it and hopefully, things will
turn around for us in the

future and we can maybe
salvage what we got left.

Oh, man, I've
officially lost it.

WILL: We're marking.

We got good marks right here.

-See 'em?

-Oh, yeah.
There they are right up here.

Another wolf pack coming
across the screen.

DALE: Oh, it'd be so nice
to see one of these fish.

WILL: There he is!

-Got him on!
-We got him, we're on!
-Wind that reel.

All right, Dale,
you come up here.

-Dammit,
Will Billy got us one.

-Yeah, baby!
Don't bother me now.

DALE: Is he burning you down?

-Feels real heavy.
He took a good bit.

Feels like a nice bite, yeah.

WILL: Keep on going.

Yeah, there's a bunch
of boats around here.

People fighting fish.

People fishing for fish.

People wishing for fish.

Glad we're the ones
tight right now.

DALE: We ain't got him
yet, but we got the right
bite, that's for damn sure.

-Get some rubber pant, get
my rubber pants on, son.

WILL: Come on back, Dale.

There you go.

Hang on a second, Dale.

-Oh, [bleep].
We're in trouble here.

We got another boat
just behind us here.

We'll do our best to
stay away from him.

DALE: This guy's gonna
[bleep] us up, man.

Can't he see we got a fish on?

Damn fool's oblivious.

Dammit, come on now.

You got to move the boat.

-I don't like this,
I don't like this at all.

-Watch that bandit reel.

-Keep going, Dale.

DALE: We can't lose a
paycheck to this idiot.

Gonna run our fish over.

Keep reeling!

DALE:

You got to move the boat.

This guy must be blind
if he can't see that
we've got a fish on.

If he keeps coming
straight at us,

he's gonna run over my
line and cut off my fish.

WILL: Keep going, Dale.

ED: Dammit, come on now.

DALE: We cannot afford
to see a paycheck get
flushed down the toilet.

-Faster, faster!
-Keep reeling!

Okay, okay, we're clear now.

Pretty work, guys.

WILL: That's what
I'm talking about.

Let's get this money.

-Ease up on him, Dale.

-Still gaining on him?

-Yeah, keep going.

We're tight right
now on a fish.

Just saying our prayers and
hopefully we can catch him.

Big ornery [bleep].

-Yeah, he is.

DALE: We need this one, man.

Now, he's gonna
throw something in your
face so you know you're

not dreaming, Will.

-Got color.

WILL: I got swivel.
Forward, Dale.

You're good,
you're good, right there.

-Oh, yeah.

WILL: Come on.

Let's try and get on
top of this thing, Dale.

Back up.

-Okay, coming back.

-We're getting close.

Forward.

We're gonna see
him in a second.

You're good,
you're good right here.

Hold right there, there he is,
there you go, come on.

-Stick him, Will, stick him!

-Got his a*s.

No, I didn't, no, I didn't.

DALE: What the [bleep]
happened with the dart?

What's up with the dart?

-The dart's not in him.
-Get the gaff.

Whoa, Will Billy!

Careful, buddy.

-You all right, Will?

-Gaff him!

-Tail gaff.
All right, get the rope.

Get it in.
Yeah, boy.

-Whoo.
-Way to go, guys.
-Nice fish.

-That's a nice,
that's a nice one.

-Finally sealed the deal.

We got a big one tied
up here the side.

-He's our ticket home.

-Yeah, let's get
out of here, Cap.

-Let's measure him
and bring him home.

-One, two, three.

-Yeah, man.

Sweet job. Sweet job.

-Nice fish.

-Hell yeah, 81
and a half, sweet!

-All right, bag
it up, Yo Diggity.

-Get this thing back home.

DALE: I tell you what,
I'm gonna need therapy
when this season's over.

Nice fish, glad to have him.

MARCIANO: Well, this is fun.

-We're gonna
catch a fish, wow.

-What?

-A manatee,
I mean, a manta ray.

-It's shark.

MARCIANO: Stupid shark.

-How can you not be
excited to see a manta ray?

They're so weird looking.

It's like nothing else
that we have back home.

I've yet to see a manta ray.

-Oh, well.

-That'd be some cool [bleep].

-Something way up high there.

Joe, did you chum a little?

They came up for it.

-Yeah.

-Oh, my God.
Okay, what is that?

Because it looks like.

That's a [bleep] manta ray!

-What?
-That's a manta ray!
-Where?

-Right there.

-Yeah, there you go, Gel.
There's your manta ray.

See him out there?

-Yeah! Holy [bleep].

-I'll see if can
get a little close.

-Oh, my God.

-See him flying?
-Yeah.
-He's gonna come right at us.

Oh, all right, that's cool.
I'll admit that's cool.

-That's cool.
That's so cool.

-You got to see
your manta ray.

-But they're huge.

-Look at the fish
under him that live
under him for protection.

See the little fish?

-That's so cool.

Oh, my God, it's so cool.

-Yeah, that was
your manta ray.

-Bye, friend.

DALE: Foolish Pleasures is
finally doing some damage.

It's been a hard couple days.

-Yeah.

-You ready to take
a look at her?

-Let's check it out.

Looks nice and
round from here.

-What do we got, Scotty?

-231 pounds dressed.

-Nice.

-Check her out.

-All right, guys.

-What do you
think we got here?

-A little bit of
fat in the minors.

It's got a got good color.

We'll check
out the core and
see what we got.

Nice core.

-That actually does look good.
-Yeah.

-What do you
think we got, man?

Tell us something good
because we need some good
news after this season.

-Well, I'll get you guys...

$18 a pound.

-Hell yeah. Nice.
-Good job.

-We're gonna get back
out there tomorrow,
try to get another one.

-Sounds good.
Good luck, guys.

-Thank you, bud.
Thank you.

-Thanks, Scotter.
-Let's go home.

There's a room with padded
walls waiting for us.

CLIFF: Pretty
morning out here.

Hopefully, we can get
us a fun ticket home.

We need us a bite early.

We lost a fish yesterday
and the Frenzy and the
Hot Tuna both caught.

Then they pulled
so far ahead of us.

We've got a long way to
go to catch them now.

Despite all that, I know
we got to keep our spirits
up and stay positive.

Even though right
now I can see it's
weighing heavy on Nick.

NICK: I'm used to
winning, so we're not a
middle of the pack boat.

CLIFF: We need to
get ours and get in.

Come back out and do
it again, so hopefully,
we make it happen.

JARRETT: Little Shell's
right here, Fishin' Frenzy's
in front of us.

It's neck and neck.

TJ: Just get the
gear going here.

It's sounds like there's
a good sign of fish,
so if we get over them,

I imagine it's gonna
be pretty quick.

The pressure is on.

We're neck and neck with
Frenzy, so we got to land a
tuna and guarantee our lead.

GREG: We got TJ
right on our stern.

Yesterday, we caught
a fish and so did TJ.

We're going head to
head with the Hot Tuna
for that top spot.

I've been keeping
an eye on Little Shell because
Nick's been doing really well,

but they're over


They don't stand a
chance now, okay.

-It's a game now.

CLIFF: There's something
splashing over there.

I don't know what it is.

-All right, let
me get hunting.

-They like to come up
for breakfast and eat.

-There's a mark, 25 fathoms
though, but that's him.

GREG: Marks, marks
are through there.

-Good, good.

-It kind of smells
like them too.

TJ: There they are
up high, get ready.

BILLON: They're here.

-Right here.

Yeah, we're looking
for a big one.

CLIFF: There it is,
there it is!

-We're on!

-It's peeling line!

-All right, get
around there on it.

There you go,
just do like that.

Perfect, going out,
LGO baby, whoo!

-Awesome.

Fish hooked up first
thing in the morning.

-That's why we come
out here early.

-Come on, baby!

It's gonna be a
big one here, boys.

-All right, ball's
up in the slick.

NICK: Just get me,
get my way down now.

I don't like it.

Back, back up, Cliff.

Get right backwards on him.

All right?

Just slow and steady back.

He's right.
Plenty tight.

Keep your eye on my
ball there, Brandan.

-Okay, I don't see him,
it could be detached.

NICK: Still got him
on here, but parted
my ball and bird off.

CLIFF: That bird has
been taking a dag gone
beating with the fish

pulling on it, you know.

It could have got banjo'd.

Now that he ain't
fighting that bird, it'll
take a little longer.

-Yeah, that's right.

-Ain't got that bird
to try to wear him out.

Ball's over there.

-Not much we can do about it.

-Just trying to
keep this angle.

NICK: Yeah, but I don't
want to get up on top of him
and stay over top of him.

CLIFF: I think I could turn
and go this way on him.

NICK: Yeah, try, try it.

Just go along easy
because he's pulling
freaking hard, dude.

I can feel the line
how tight it is.

There's drag on him, you know.

There you go.

Now he's coming.

CLIFF: I got to circle him.

Are we gaining
any line at all?

NICK: Yes, now we are.

Just when you slow down like
that would be, get it good.

We need this one, man.

Hold on a second.

[bleep]!

Need to somehow we
got to pull this out.

Pull it over there, Brandan.

Pull it away from him.

Stop the bandit reel, Cliff.

Brandan, let that go
and deal with this.

Hold on a second.

It went all slack.

CLIFF: Yeah, I don't
like it either.

NICK: Watch out,
we're losing him!

NICK: It went all slack.

CLIFF: Yeah, I don't
like it either.

Maybe we'll just have
to hand line him in.

NICK: That's what
I'm thinking.

He takes off, we just
got to let him go, okay?

-Okay.

NICK: Get your
scissors, Brandan.

Cut the squid off right
in front of the squid.

Stressful.

Love to have him on,
but it's stressful.

Here he comes.

I can see him.

Get your dart ready, Brandan.

It's our chance, boys.

It's right just easy, Cliff.

Easy, easy, easy!

Take the shot, right now!

You missed, you missed,
you missed.

Try again, try again!

-Got him, pull him up here.

-I can't pull him.

-Trade me, B.

-Yup, yup, yup, yup.

Not yet?

-All right, tail rope,
on my right side.

-Which side?

-Right side, yee-haw!

-Yes.

-He is ours, boys, he is ours.

-That's what I'm
talking about.

NICK: Just closed the
deal on a big one.



TJ: It sucks.

MIKE: Nick just got one.

We're neck and neck with
him right now, so we got
to stay on top of our game.

GREG: Nick's got
a nice fish there.

-He's becoming a threat.
We don't like threats.

NICK: Ready.
One, two, three.

One, two, three.
Here he comes.

-Oh.
-Oh.
-That's a real one.

-That's a beast.
-But that one is a massive.

Whoo. Massive!

-That's a big one.

-Oh, I'm excited to see
what this thing is, boy!

-Give me that, yeah.

Let's see how
long this baby is.

-That is a massive 106 inches.

-Yes.
-106 inches.
-Good job.

-Yes.
-Good job.
-We earned this fish, boys.

NICK: A gollywhopper.

That's what they call
it, old gollywhopper.

Happy, happy.

NICK [over radio]:
Did anybody find my ball?

Anybody see my ball?

GREG: Yes. I can see the bird.

The bird and the
ball's all together.

It's right on the bow.

I was gonna pick
it up for you.

Come right to me,
you'll see it.

NICK: Okay, yeah,
I got my eye on it.

Thank you, buddy,
thank you, thank you.

BILLON: There's his bird.

He's gonna come get it?

GREG: Yup, we should have
taken it and not told him.

BILLON: We should have
grabbed his ball and held it
hostage and give it to him at

the end of the season
for second place.

NICK: Parted off our bird
there, but Frenzy's got
his eye on it right here,

so it looks like we're
gonna get that back.

-I got it.

CLIFF: And we got
the bird back.

NICK: Good job, gentlemen.

♪ Because I got a tuna. ♪

♪ I got a tuna. ♪

♪ I got a tuna,
hey, hey, hey, hey! ♪♪

[inaudible].

-If it ain't the
Dukes of Hatteras.

A good example of the
Dukes of Hatteras.

-Whoo.
That is so good.
That's a big one, Nick.

NICK: It is a big one.

That's a hundred-incher,
that's a hundred-incher
we've been looking for.

TYLER: Hi love,
close that door.

-What's happening, dude?

TYLER: Duffy's been slacking
all season because I've been
putting the boat on the fish

and we just haven't
been getting the bites.

He's dropping the
ball big time.

-I've been miserable for,
like, the two years that
I've worked with the kid.

-Like, I don't want
to be around him.

Like, I've never been
a negative person in my life
until I've been on this boat.

I'm out there giving
it 110% every day.

Tyler ranting, raving, yelling,
I'm getting sick of it.

TYLER: I hate him so much.

-But I almost quit, dude.

I'm [bleep] done
with this kid, dude.

NICK: It's our biggest
fish of the season so far.

I'm really excited.

-Holy smokes.
Look how barreled he's out.

-Yeah, look at that, yeah.

NICK: I think we
got a diamond here.

-I think you do too.

-Let's get him off
here and look at him.

-I mean, really.

-Oh, God, all right.

-Got it.

-Look at that.
How about that one?

-That's a real one.
-Holy smokes.

-Look at the shape, dude.
He's round, man.

-That's a monster.

NICK: Hot Tuna and Frenzy
both caught fish yesterday
and we fell way, way behind.

Catching this
monster, it gives us
a fighting chance now.

-Is that the biggest
one you've ever got?

-I think so, sweetie.

-How big is it?

-632.

-Whoo.
-Yes!
-We needed that one.

-Finally got a good one.

-Well, let's see
how it grades out.

NICK: All right, the quota
is getting eat up really
fast with these big fish.

We need a really big
price on this one.

This could be our last
fish of the season.

Who knows?

-Greasy.

-What a gorgeous
fish you guys caught.

The fat content is very high
on this fish and I'm gonna
jet this straight to Sapporo.

-Nice.

I like when they
get airplane rides.

They don't send the
cheap ones very far.

-Let's see the core, Mary.
-Okay.

-Ooh, Ooh.

-Ooh, wow.

-Yes.

-Nice cherry red core.

NICK: Only one thing
can make it better.

-$25 a pound.

-Yeah.
-Pretty work, dude!
-Yes, sir.

-What we needed.
-Thank you, Dennis.
We've been needing this.

Stops the bleeding.

-Well, you caught the
right one this time.

-Good, whoo.
-Go get another one.

-Thanks, guys.
-Thank you.
-All right, thank you.

-Thank you, guys.
-Thank you.
-Big money.

NICK: Give 'em hell,
Little Shell!

NARRATOR: Little Shell's
monster $15,000 haul
rockets them into the lead,

while Fishin' Frenzy's
and Hot Tuna's fish keep
them close to the top and

Foolish Pleasures catches
a much needed paycheck.

TYLER: I will
kick your a*s, bro.

DUFFY: Let's go.
TYLER: I will kick your a*s.
DUFFY: Hey, hey.

TYLER: Dude, don't push
me, man, don't push me.

DUFFY: Let's fight.
You want to kick my a*s?
Let's go, [bleep].

TYLER: Hey, get
your hands off of me.

I'm asking you to
get off my boat.

Time to go fishing.

Please do not, please
do not touch my radio.

Please do not touch
anything on my boat.

Please do not touch
anything on my boat.

DUFFY: The [bleep]
off of me, dude.

TYLER: We're here
to go fishing and this
behavior is unacceptable.

You punched me five times.

-Dude, I've heard nothing
but [bleep] respect, dude.

TYLER: Please get
off this boat.
Please get off this boat.

-[bleep] you, dude.
[bleep] you.

TYLER: Duffy,
just get off the boat.

Duffy bottles up all his
frustrations inside and
now, he's off his rocker.

DUFFY: Let's go, dude.

TYLER: No, dude, you
punched me and now, I
don't fight my friends.

You're not my friend, dude.

-I didn't even
punch you, dude.

You want me to hit you, dude.
I'll [bleep] hit you.

-I asked you 20 times already.

Ow.

You just [bleep] my
whacked my head off that,
you [bleep], [bleep].

PRODUCER: Go, Duffy,
it's time to go.

You can't do that, man.

-You can't?
-No.

TYLER: Duffy's got to leave.

There's no way I'm going
out fishing with him now.

I'm in real trouble.

This could be the end of
the line for the Pinwheel.

-Time to go.
-Dude, stop.
