06x13 - Storm Troopers

[bunniefuu]

Mike: Got 'em on the stick!
Got 'em on the stick!

Narrator: On this episode...

Bobby: We're on, baby!

Narrator: Of wicked tuna...

Banks: Put it in gear!
Put it in gear!

Narrator: Outer banks.

Adam: He's taking line.
Eric: [bleep] yeah, it is.

Daniel: Woo!
Zack: Fish on, baby!

Narrator: With the
clock winding down...

Drew: Every fish is
a tick, tick, tick.

Marciano: We ain't
found no fish yet.

Brian: Let's make some money.

Narrator: And the
wind blowing up...

Reed: We're all getting
ready to blast off here.

Banks: You know it's bad
when reed wants to go in.

Narrator: One
quality bluefin...

Narrator: Could change
the entire game.

Zack: Dang!

Narrator: And less bounty...

Tyler: The quota going as
fast as it's been going.

We just can't get a bite.

Narrator: Pushes
each captain...

Banks: Watch that rod.

Daniel: Spin it now!
Go, go, go!

Narrator: To fish harder...

Tj: It's gonna go crazy.
It's gonna go crazy!

Bubby, rope!
Rope, rope, rope, rope!

Daniel: Hurry up.
Now they're crossed.
I can feel it.

Marissa: Here it comes.

Eric: Oh, [bleep]. [bleep]!

Narrator: Or risk getting
caught empty-handed.

Brian: We're gonna
lose him, bro!

Narrator: This is...

Brian: I can't hold him, bro!
Drew: Oh!

Narrator: Wicked
tuna outer banks.

Bobby: Today's forecast,
great chance of bluefin.

Narrator:
With less than $7,000
separating the top five boats,

local kahuna leads
with offshore outlaw and

northern boat pinwheel
too close for comfort.

Reel e' bugging,
hot tuna, and rasta rocket

are desperate
to close the gap.

While falcon tries
to stay afloat.

Bobby: Today's gonna
blow pretty hard.

It's gonna blow up
late this afternoon.

To win, you have
to take chances.

You cannot just fish
when the weather is good.

You have to push the envelope.

Especially since the one
quota extension we got
is already running out.

I think if we can get a
morning fish, get home to the
dock by 2:00 in the afternoon

and let the storm blow up,
we'll be right back in it.

We have to get back on top.

We were in the lead once,
but still these other boats
didn't take us seriously.

They're saying,
"all right, we don't have
worry about bobby bugs.

He's out, game over."

that's gonna be a critical
mistake on their part.

Yo, guys.

Take a look
at this boat we're gonna
pass on the port side.

Tell me if it's the rocket.

He's bouncing around
like an apple.

Brian: Yeah,
I think it is him.

Drew: I have no idea where
they put their microwave
and tv on that boat,

but it ought to be wet.

Bobby: Yeah, or a dog.

Brian: Those guys
are nuts, bro.

Drew: God bless 'em.

Bobby: Got a mark at 250.

Yo, wolf pack, 250.

I think today can make a
difference, so we got this.

This will be a good day.

Hopefully, when the sun
opens up, we'll get ours.

Zack: So far, the wind
ain't kicked up too bad yet.

We just got in position.

Hopefully, it's
gonna pay off here.

We're feeling real
lucky this morning.

We've struck out the
last few trips and with
the quota running out,

the end of the season
could come any time.

To say that we're desperate
to catch at least one more
bluefin is an understatement.

There's just no way we
can let our families down.

Daniel: Come on, baby.
Give us our bite.

Zack: I just seen 'em
busting right here in
front of us like hell.

Shane: Oh, man. Yeah.

Daniel: Yeah.

[beeping]

zack: Come on, baby! Come on.

[reel unspooling rapidly]

there he is. Fish on, baby!

Zack: Double? Oh, yeah!
Daniel: Doubleheader.

Zack: I'm gonna get this
line out of your way.

You good, daniel?

Daniel: Yeah,
put her in neutral.

Zack: We got two fish on,

and with time running
out in the season,
we gotta land one.

Keep those lines apart!

Zack: We can only keep one,

but you don't want the lines
to cross on a double because
you'll lose both of them.

All right, shane.
Pull this rig up for me.

Daniel: We gotta hurry
up and get him on this other
side before we take him off.

You get that out
the way first.

Zack: You keep tight, daniel.

Daniel: Come on.
Help me, I got this.

He's still behind me.

Maybe I need to
go to the front.

Shane, help me
move this stuff.

Zack: We got our bites.
Let's capitalize, boys.

Daniel: Don't put a
lot of pressure on him.

Just kind of enough to
keep that hook in him.

Zack: Getting close.

Daniel: 100 yards.
Zack: 100 yards?

Daniel: Yes.
Zack: Okay.

Shane: Damn, these lines
are crossing; I gotta move.

Zack: Dang, shane. What the.

Shane: Yeah, I got it.
Daniel: Zack?
Zack: Yeah.

Zack: What you need? Huh?

Daniel: Spin it now!

Zack: He's swimming
towards the boat.

Zack: Pick up.
Daniel: Come on this way, now!

Zack: Pick up.
Daniel: Hurry, hurry, hurry!

Shane: I got this.

Zack: What way? What way?
Daniel: I don't know.

You're gonna have to get
back there and look at it.

Hurry up now, they're
crossed I can feel it.

Zack: I'm trying, dude.

Daniel: Take it
out the holder.

Back the drag off, now.

Zack: We're off.

All right, shane,
come to the front.

Put it in gear.

[bleep]. Dang.

Shane: Get the boat.
Zack: I got the boat.

Dang.

Daniel: Come to
the front, shane.

Oh, oh, you're gonna have
to drive the boat, zack.

Zack: Okay, dude.
I'm just, I'm just
trying to get it.

Daniel: I know, but you
were about to drift over it.

Don't let that
happen again, man.

Zack: Yeah, okay, daniel.

Daniel: Yeah.
Pay attention now.
That was bad.

Zack: You okay?

Daniel: Is he under
or over it, bud?

Shane: I can't tell.

Zack: The only way to
know is to get his a*s.

Daniel: Yeah, he's under.

Shane: All right, he's
gonna run it back to ya.

We already got the
lines crossed one time
and had to work 'em out.

Daniel: Yeah, he's
doing pinwheels.

Shane: There you go.

Zack: I'm not sure
how big this one is.

Daniel: This is
definitely a big one here.

Zack: Oh, yeah, baby.

Daniel: Color.
Shane: Color.
Zack: He's big, ain't he?

Daniel:
Shane. Now! Holy [bleep].

Zack: I'm coming.

Zack: Pick it up.

Man, that's a big tail.

Dang! Woo! Heck yeah, boys!

That one was a
long time coming.

Woo!

I think that's the biggest
one we caught this year.

Look at the difference
between that one and that one.

That's a little fish.

Zack: Nice.

Daniel: All right, zack.

One, two, three.

Zack: Another big one, boys.

I don't know if he's gonna
come through the door or not.

Zack: This is a pretty
good problem to have.

He's definitely the biggest
one we've caught all year.

[grunting]

zack: We might be small,
but we're mighty.

We can win this thing.

Woo, woo!

We gotta get a measurement
on this behemoth.

Oh, hell yeah, boys.

106. Heck, yeah.
Had to take the door off.

Woo!

Zack [over radio]:
Another one bites
the dust, son.

Bobby: Oh, [bleep] me.

Pocket rocket catching
is just one thing
that sticks in my craw,

not because
they're not good guys,

but we've been out
here far more than them

in the worst conditions.

And they zip out,
hook one,

and zip back in before
the wind even hits.

It bugs me and it takes a
lot to bug bobby bedbugs.

It's time right now, man.

This could be the
critical minute.

This could be it right here.

Zack: We're on a heater and
we don't want it to cool off.

Bill: So you got another
stud for me, huh?

Zack: Big one.

Hang him up and
see what we got.

Bill: Let's do it.

That is a big
sucker, ain't it?

Zack: What we got, man?

Bill: Good god. 523 pounds.

Zack: We put that in that.

Bill: I swear.

Let's see what she looks
like on the inside.

Zack: The buyer, he's
looking for a nice cherry
color and tons of fat.

And that's what will get
us a high price per pound.

Man, bill, this is
our biggest fish ever.

Shane: True.

Zack: We need some big
old money on this one.

Bill: You know, it's
got a lot of fat.

This fish has been
eating really good.

Let's see what this
core looks like.

Zack: Oh, yeah.

Bill: Nice and consistent.
Got some oil in it.

Daniel: Anticipation.
Zack: Yeah.

Bill: I'm thinking...

Zack: Man, it's k*lling me.
What you think we got?

Bill: $20 a pound.

Zack: Biggest fish.

Daniel: Perfect.
That's what we needed.

Zack: Man, paying
some bills right there.
See you tomorrow.

Daniel: Take is easy, man.

Zack: All right, man.
Daniel: Bye.
Bill: See ya.

Zack: We're so lucky
we got ours before that
northern wind kicked up.

Everybody better watch out.

[wind]

reed: It's gusting 37
at jeanette's pier.

Steve: Oh.

Banks: Sounds like
a fun ride in.

Reed: Thirty-seven.

Steve: That's pretty stiff.

Reed: Let's get 'em up.

Steve: Yeah.

Reed: Oh, it's coming, baby.
It's coming.

Steve: Woo!
I feel it too.

Reed: We were leading until
rasta rocket knocked us down.

We've got to get back
on top because we all
know the end is near.

But when it blows
from the north, that's
our roughest wind.

We push the limits every
day, but when it starts
hitting 35 to 40 knots,

that's when you should
not be out here.

I'm not gonna put my
boat or my crew at risk.

Banks: You know it's bad
when reed wants to go in.

Tj [over radio]: Hey, reed.

I don't know how much
longer we could be
out here like this.

Reed: Sounds like
we're getting the
[bleep] out of here.

Tj: I hear you.

Right now we're
in sixth place.

This is a decision that
comes down to me where
I'd rather keep my guys safe

than do something stupid.

Let's bring the [bleep] in.
Bubby, come on.

Sometimes,
you know, as a captain,

I just need to kind
of draw the line and say,

"you know what? Not today."

how about you, pinwheel?

Tj [over radio]:
Headed to the west
with an empty fish hole.

Tyler: I'm super determined
to out fish the rest of the
fleet and retake the lead,

but every day in
the outer banks is
risk versus reward.

Do I push the window?
Do I go out on that
weather report?

Is it gonna be gnarly?

Am I gonna blow my
windows out at the bridge?

Or am I gonna stuck out
there for two or three days and

then get bashed
by the big waves?

Let's get the lines in.
We're getting out of here.

Reed: Oh man. That sucks.

Tyler: Cool, let's roll.

Marciano:
Basically we're done.

In another
three or four hours,

it's gonna be right
[bleep] nasty out here.

We're gonna have to get
while the getting's good.

We need a few more fish
and it sucks to go in.

But staying out on
the water when you know

it's gonna get rough
isn't a very good idea.

Sometimes a gamble like that
costs you far more than what
the benefit could ever be.

No love for us this trip.

Jarrett: Well, that's a wrap.

Adam: You ready to pull it in?

Eric: Nope. Ain't got one.

Adam: Starting to
get white caps.

I don't want to be in
davy jones' locker.

Eric: Is bobby bugs going in?

Brian: Drew's up
there on the wheel.

Bobby's taking a nap.

Reed [over radio]:
Reel e' bugging.

Drew: Yeah. Yeah.
Go ahead, you got
reel e' bugging.

Reed: Looks like
we're all getting
ready to blast off here.

Reed [over radio]:
Everybody's taking off.

It's gusting 37 at
jeanette's pier.

Brian: Everybody's leaving.

Drew: Well, conditions
are deteriorating.

The clock is counting down.

Every fish is a tick, and
it's tick, tick, tick.

So even though I don't want
to, we don't have a choice.

It's getting ugly.

Why don't you go tell him
that it's time to go in?

Brian: I'm gonna tell him
to come up and talk to you.

Drew: All right.

Brian: Hey,
drew wanted me to tell
you it's time to go in.

Bobby: You guys are making
executive decisions now?

Drew: Everybody else left.
Try again tomorrow.

Bobby: Oh, come on, guys.
Don't bump it up.

I didn't say
we're leaving yet.

Drew: Why don't you go tell
him that it's time to go in?

Brian: Hey, drew wanted me to
tell you it's time to go in.

Bobby: You guys are making
executive decisions now?

Drew: Everybody else left.
Try again tomorrow.

Bobby: Oh, come on, guys.

We've been out 10
times worse than this.

Don't bump it up.

I didn't say
we're leaving yet.

Brian: What in the
[bleep] are we doing?

We don't want to be the
only ones left out here.

We've already had our
a*s kicked enough.

Bobby's a good captain, but
he's gonna take chances,
he's gonna take risks.

Sometimes taking
risks isn't always the
smartest thing to do.

Brian: And sometimes
taking those risks
puts you over the top.

Bobby: Drew, hit
that [bleep]! Yeah!

Drew: Yeah!

Brian: You just gotta
realize when the situation
calls for risks versus being

a little more prudent,
it's always just a balance.

Bobby: Why are
we making executive
decisions, gentlemen?

Drew: It's getting, it's
blowing inside, it's bad.

Bobby: It just don't
look bad, dude.

We've been out in
eight foot seas.

They all bailed, they're out?

Drew: Yeah.

Bobby: Yeah, we just
dropped $700 on fuel.

We're here.
Five hours from sunset.

I don't know, I disagree.

We leave the dock,
we don't catch a fish,
we just stay in the ocean

until we catch a fish.

Unless it's absolutely
gonna put our lives at risk,
we need to stay.

[beeping]

look at these marks too, guys.
You're k*lling me.

Drew: Holy [bleep], look at
the wolf pack under the boat.

Bobby: Let's put those lines
back in the water, guys.

We're gonna get some bluefin.

You'll see.

Banks: Whoa!
That was a big one.

Reed: When crossing
the bar with six to
eight, ten-foot seas and

it could be very dangerous.

We've seen boats
sink in the inlet.

I've seen boats roll over
end up making the wrong move.

Banks: [bleep].

Reed: And you end up k*lling
yourself or your crew.

Tyler: Whoa, [bleep].
When it's blowing
thirty to thirty-five,

the waves are usually between
eight to twelve feet.

And they're big
and they're spread out
and they're mountains.

I mean, they're coming
at you and you're looking
up at these giants waves.

Reed: A lot of water.

Tyler: And it's no joke.

There's a reason why
they call it the graveyard
of the north atlantic,

and that's because
it's dangerous out
here in this weather.

Banks: Hold on, everybody.

Marciano: This is the
type of place you take it for
granted and you'll regret it.

Reed [over radio]:
Glad we left when we did.

Bugging is gonna
get his a*s kicked.

Tj: Oh. Bedbugs
might get his a*s kicked.

And even though he's
not the sharpest
tool in the drawer,

he's extremely driven.

He could get a fish,
but bobby's definitely

playing with fire
down here in the obx.

He wants to win, man.

They all want to win
and pound their chest.

[ominous music]

bobby: Oh, here we go!

We suffered all
night for this.

We got this.
We're ready.

Drew: Ten minutes
we'll be done.

Bobby: Ten minutes we're
gonna have fish on.

Drew: Heading for the barn.
Bobby: Head for the barn.

Brian: Heading for
the watering hole.

Bobby: All right.
I'm gonna find 'em right now.

Brian: Put us on 'em, bobby.

Bobby: Come get me some.
So we're out here all day.

Everyone back, went
back in because the
storm was coming in.

We didn't go in because
we're not quitters.

We got knocked around half
the night and struck out,

but we got this.

Brian:
I like that.
I like that.

This one's gonna be lucky.

It's our lucky purple.

Bobby: I'm an extremely
competitive person.

I wanna come in
first, always first.

Some people say
it's too aggressive.

I don't think so.

Doesn't mean you'll
always finish first,

but you have to at least
believe you can be.

You have to believe
that you have
to strive for that.

Otherwise, you will not
give anything enough effort.

And if in your brain you
don't believe you're good
enough, you won't be.

We got tons of
marks on the screen.

I feel optimistic.
We're gonna do this right now.

That's today's forecast.
Great chance of bluefin today.

Brian: It's a
bluefin kind of day.

John-michael: Dammit.

Starting to get anxiety from
being not catching one.

Starting to get disappointing.

With time running out,
it's important we get a
fish right away.

So that's why we
stayed out in these rough
conditions while most people

went home early yesterday.

Not only do we need to try
to take care of our families,

but we're trailing
rasta and kahuna.

And one good fish could
put us in the lead.

The wind ain't
letting off any.

Eric: Dude, we just
gotta win this thing, dude.

John-michael: Oh, man.

Eric: We'll get him,
or we'll die trying.

[beeping]

we got some
good marks here.

Look at the meat
on the screen.

[beeping]

[reel unspooling rapidly]

there he is! There!

Eric: Doubled up!
Crank, crank, crank! Come on!

Eric: This is him!
This is him!

Adam: Keep him tight.

John-michael: Now you tell
me how he got off of that.

Eric: We still got one on.

John-michael: Come on, baby.

We need this right here
so we can get out of here.

Eric: Ready to move.

John-michael:
Ready to move it?

Eric: He's taking right now.

Point the rod.
Point the rod.

John-michael:
I can't get it right here.

Bobby [over radio]:
Yeah, this is bobby,
reel e' bugging.

Anyone else stupid enough
to be out here today?

Come back.

Adam: You got the outlaws
out here with you, bobby,

and we're hooked
up to a monster.

Bobby [over radio]:
Outlaw and that crew,
we're not intimidated.

Hey, there's one other
[bleep] out here.

We're gonna get tight.

Trust me.

Eric: He's smoking you, adam.

I mean smoking
her down big time.

I'm telling you.

Holy [bleep].

Adam: He's taking line.
Eric: [bleep] yeah, it is.

[reel unspooling rapidly]

eric: Woo-hoo!
He's dumping it.

He's about to spool us.

You're gonna have
to go get him.

Turn that way.

John-michael: You ain't gonna
be able to make that turn.

Eric: He's gone! He's gone!

That's it!
That's it! That's it!

[bleep]! [bleep]!

John-michael: Damn!

Gone.

Every bit of it, gone.
He spooled us.

He took off like a
locomotive and ran about
1,300 yards of line.

There was nothing we
could do to stop it.

And what sucks the most is
the quota is about 85% full.

We're running out
of chances here.

That right there makes
me want to throw up.

Tyler [over radio]:
72 and the 624.

Tj: A mile in front of us,
they're blowing up.

We made the right
choice yesterday coming
in because of the wind.

And those guys that
stayed out risked their
lives for nothing.

We might be closer towards
the bottom of the leaderboard,

but this is
still a tight race.

Just about everybody is
only one jumbo fish away
from taking the lead.

Mike: Still dark out.

Just went over a big
school of something.

Couldn't tell if it
two tones or bluefins
busting everywhere.

There's fish breaking
everywhere here.

Game time now.
Let's see what happens here.

Mike: I don't know.
I can't see 'em.

The [bleep] going
crazy everywhere.

Mike: Hopefully, we
get a nice early bite.

Tj: There's a mark, bubby!

We'd love to get
a bite right now.

We don't expect the
quota to last a week.

We're hoping these next
few days we can get
the north back on top.

[beeping]

why aren't they
blowing us up, dude?

Real deal mark.

We gotta make
something happen.

[beeping]

mike: No, we just missed,
we got 'em on the stick!

Got 'em on the stick!

Tj: Hooked up, baby.

Mike: Woo! First drop!
First drop!

Tj: Down and tight in
the gulf stream, baby.

Bluefin season. Woo!

Mike: Got 'em on
the stick, baby!

Tj: Hooked up, baby.

Mike: Woo!
First drop! First drop!

Turn the hydro up. Come on.

Tj: Down and tight in
the gulf stream, baby.

Bluefin season. Woo!

Our extended quota
is running out fast.

Every fish we
hook right now, we've
got to capitalize on.

All right, let him go,
let him go, let him go,
let him go.

Jarrett: I'm used to
reeling on the rod.

But when it's a
greenstick catch, the bandit
reel is bubby's specialty.

Mike: Come on.
He's screaming.

Tj: Is he still there?
Mike: I don't know.

Rim wracked me, man.

Mike:
No, he's there. He's there.

He's shaking his head.
I got him on, baby.
Definitely over 90 inches.

Tj: Pull him up.
Pull him back.

Jarrett: I see deep color.

Mike: Tail wrapped.
Get a gaff, get a harpoon.

Tj: Get the other harpoon.

Keep going, keep going,
keep going, keep going.

With this fish's tail
chafing against the line,

it could easily
cut itself off.

Come on, bubby.
Reel it in.

Jarrett: Hurry up!
Hurry up!

Tj: Keep going. Keep going.

Mike: He's coming up now.

Stick him! I got him.
Get a hold of him.

Get a, get a gaff.

Tj: He's gonna go crazy.
He's gonna go crazy.

Jarrett: Watch that line.
We're about to lose him.

Tj: Get him good.
Get him good.

Get him good.
He's gonna go crazy.

Bubby, rope!
Rope, rope, rope, rope, rope.

Rope. Bubby, rope!
I got him! Get a rope!

Hoo baby!

Here for a good time, baby.
Sun's not even up.

Bound for glory,
headed to the west.

We are stoked to be
back in the groove.

This was a much-needed fish.

Jarrett:
Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo, 91!

Tj: Good job, baby.
We're headed west.

Mike: Good job, guys.
Jarrett: Nice work.

Tj: Hopefully, this fish is
enough just to climbing back
to the top of the fleet.

Headed west.

Bobby: Hot tuna's back there
dragging a fish already.

I mean, it's crunch time.

Any shot at being on top of
the leaderboard is diminishing
by the minute here.

You know, we got to find fish.

We got to find 'em now.

I wouldn't say these
are desperate times,
but almost time for, uh,

for us to panic, you know.

Brian: Yeah, there's grass
all up in this [bleep].

Brian: Yeah.

Tj: Crossed the bar,
headed towards the bridge.

Hopefully, denden's
sitting there with his payday
checkbook and looking to write

a big fat check.

Do you think I'll
get under that?

No [bleep] way, right?

Tj: It's really low tide.

I think we're gonna
bump the south span.

The rasta rocket's approaching
the bridge and they only
draw about 20 inches of water,

so I know they can
easily get through where
I wanna get through.

If they say that we've got,
you know, anywhere from
five to seven foot;

I know I'm good to go.

Zack: We didn't hook up
on the morning bite and
we need some supplies.

So we decided to make
a run in and get back
out to the fishing grounds

for the sunset bite.

Tj [over radio]:
You on there, rocket?

Zack [over radio]: Yeah,
I got you. What's up now?

Tj: Do me a favor, rocket,

go through the south
span and let me know
what you got for water.

Zack: I got you.
That main one there?

Tj: The one south of
the main one, yeah.

Zack: All right.
I got you. Will do.

Tj [over radio]:
What are you seeing
for water right there?

Zack: Six-foot.
Five-four.
5.4 to six foot.

Tj [over radio]: Okay, great.
Thanks, buddy.

Zack [over radio]: Want
me to wait for you here,

make sure
everything's all right?

Tj [over radio]:
No, you should be
all right, thank you.

Zack: All right, man.

Tj: Had the rocket go through
the south span before me

to see how much
water we had.

I need about five foot.

And that's what
he said we got,
so we're gonna see here.

Tj [over radio]:
Yeah, we got it.
Thanks for that.

Zack: Word, man.
Glad to help.

The battle between
the northern fleet and the
southern fleet only extends

to catching tunas.

We're not gonna intentionally
leave a boat in trouble.

That's not good
southern hospitality.

Tj: Got through safe.
So dangerous.

Oh boy, that is always
something man, whew.

Dennis: How's fishing, tj?

Tj: Fishing was
pretty good, man.

It's winding down.

I can't see this quota
lasting that much longer.

Dennis: Well, that
looks like a nice fish.

Let's check it out.

Tj: All right, buddy.

I can't stand trailing
bedbugs, but we're less
than $4,000 behind them,

so we've got a good shot at
taking them down if we get
a good price for this fish.

What do we got, dennis?

Dennis: 323 pounds,
dressed, guys.

Tj: Perfect size.
Perfect size.

Want to check him out?

Dennis: Pretty little fish
you guys caught today.

Tj: Yeah, it's beautiful.

Yeah.

Dennis: And it's not
jammed with fat, but
you can see, you know,

nice marbling in the minor
lobes and good meat quality.

Tj: Yeah.

Dennis: Really nice.
Tj: Nice.

Mike: Really nice.
Jarrett: Ooh.
Tj: No burn.

We're getting close
to the closing bell
here with the quota,

so what are you thinking?

Dennis: 19 bucks a pound, guys.

Tj: Got it.
Jarrett: Yeah.

Tj: Good job, bubby.
Mike: Thank you.

Dennis: Good job.
Tj: Excellent.

Like I said, the
clock's ticking, man.

We're gonna get
right back out there.

We don't know if we got
another day or two days.

Mike: Thank you.

Dennis: Thanks, everybody.
Good job.

Tj: How do you like
them apples, bugs?

Jarrett: Pa-pow! Woo!

Marciano: When in doubt,
bait them out.

Travis: These baits over time,

you drag them long enough,
they eventually just wear out.

This one's run its course.

We're gonna put a
fresh one on it.

Hopefully catch a tuna.

Marciano: Well,
sun's going down.

Ain't found no fish yet.

It's been a very
slow day for us,

so it's crucial we get one
and we get one here soon.

And we're gonna have a
chance at fishing tomorrow.

The clock is ticking.

The quota is running
out again and we've only
caught three fish so far.

Believe it or not,
this is not my worst
year in the outer banks.

There's been times I haven't
caught a single bluefin.

So, if I could
catch one more fish,
I'd be a happy camper.

Fortunately, it is
a beautiful night.

We'll try the bait fishing
thing all night long.

Joe: Sunset tuna time.
Let's go, baby.

Marciano: What kind
of bait are you using
back there, travis?

Travis: We're using
what's called a ballyhoo.

This is a perfect bait to
put on a hook and troll.

If you rig it right, it
looks just like he's swimming,

you know what I mean?

That tail gets kicking.

It looks like a bait
fish that he's fishing
or feeding on him.

If you're not swimming right,
the fish can pick up on that.

They see something that
doesn't look realistic,
so why would they eat it?

You know, that'd be like
eating a rubber cheeseburger.

You know, they're
not gonna do it.

Marciano: Let's hope
we get a bite here.

Travis: That's what
I'm talking about!

Let's make some money.

Marissa: Want a
bagel today, ty?

Tyler: What?

Marissa: Do you want
bagel or coffee?

Tyler: I'll take
a coffee, please.

There's been a lot of
fish getting caught.

We've made good
drifts through marks.

Lots of tunas.

Just can't get a bite.

It's starting to
drive us crazy.

So we're putting in the time,
we're working really hard.

We're fishing
around the clock.

It's just they're not
going in our favor.

Marissa:
Today is the day, ty.
Today is the day.

Tyler: The quota's
almost gone.

The season's almost done.

It's been days since
we last caught a fish, but
that's not gonna deter us.

You know, we're out
here for one reason,
and that's to catch fish.

And we're never giving up.

I really wanna prove
that, you know, I can
do it with my sister.

It's a tough road and
it's a long grind.

But at the same time, I
got a lot of confidence
in our abilities down here.

Marissa: There's nothing
else we could do besides
catch a fish today.

Tyler: A nap?
Marissa: Besides that.

[beeping]

tyler: There they are.
Marking 'em good.

[beeping]

come on, baby!
We need a bite.

[beeping]

[reel unspooling rapidly]

oh. We're on!

Marissa: We're on! We're on!

Tyler: Hooked up 6-30.

Tyler [over radio]:
Crazy [bleep] going down.

Banks: Oh, boy.

Steve: He say
pinwheel's hooked up?

Reed: Yup.

The northern boats
are bringing the heat.

We can't let them
get ahead of us.

Banks: Here goes
pinwheel on the comeback.

Reed: Yeah, [bleep].

Tyler: Yeah, baby!
Hooked up!

Tyler: Yeah, baby!
Hooked up!

Marissa: Nice morning bite.

Tyler: Oh.
He's taking a lot of line.
Sun's just come up.

We waited all night for this.

Marissa: We've been
waiting all week for this.

Tyler: We're
dragging behind the fleet,

and if we don't
catch this fish right now,

we'll never catch up.

All you, merm.
Reel him in.

Feeling stoked.

We got a fish on
the line right now.

Seems like a big one.
A lot of line got taken out.

There's a lot of line missing,
so we got a lot of work to do.

Marissa: I'm gonna be
cranking for a while.

Tyler: Watch that rod.
Marissa: He's way out.

Tyler: Watch that rod.

Well, he's took about 1,000
feet of line, maybe more.

With the quota going as
fast as it's been going,
just good to finally have one.

Marissa: This guy
feels bigger to me, but
you still never know.

Tyler: Feels like a good one.
Got some power to him.

Marissa: Feels heavy.

We're getting a
lot of line back.

I'm just trying to
keep the heat on him.

Tyler: Do not stop reeling.

Got to power through it.

We need this, merm.

We need this.
We got to get this one.

Marissa: We have
to get this fish.

Tyler: We got to
finish out strong.

Reel, merm.
Reel, reel, reel!

Pull him in.
Pull him in. Merm!

Keep going.

Marissa: Whoa.

Oh, no.

Tyler: All right. I'll do it.
I'll do it. I'll do it.

Oh. He's going down.

He's going under the boat!

Here, merm. On the rod.

Marissa: Here it comes.
Here it comes. Here it comes.

Tyler: Got him!
Marissa: He's mad!

Tyler: Merm, come here.
Tail rope. Hurry up!

Pull. Woo!

We got him, merm!

Marissa: Woo!
Tyler: Yes!
Marissa: Nice.

Tyler: Woo! All right,
let's pull him aboard.

Marissa: We got him.
Tyler: Woo! Keep going, merm.

Okay, down. Woo.

This is the fish we needed
to put us back in the game.

Happy to have you, pally.

Pull it tight.

What do you got?

Marissa: 83.
Tyler: Woo!
Marissa: Woo!

Tyler: Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo!

This is why we've been
out here grinding so hard.

Merm, we got him. Woo!

Marissa: We did. Woo!
Tyler: Yeah!

Marciano: I'm really happy
to see tyler just got one.

That's a good thing.

Bobby: All right, he got it.
[bleep] him.

He got it.
[bleep] him, man.

Banks: Pinwheel caught one?

Reed: Yeah, he's already
got one and headed west.

Banks: Is he?

Reed: Just fishing for
about 30 seconds.

That b*stard.

Banks: Northern boys
are getting spanked
by us, aren't they?

Reed: What's new?

Not by us, but by the
southern fleet, yes.

Right now, the top three
boats are all southern boats.

The other day, rasta
rocket climbed ahead of us.

I'm definitely not okay
with being number two.

We've got a lot
riding on this.

So, I am not gonna
let these northern
boats win this season.

Banks: Oh, right in the grass.

Reed: You got to
do something today.

Banks: Reel, steve, reel!

All we're catching
today is grass.

Man [over radio]: Out there
in the middle of all that.

Banks: Window,
we're on! We're on!

Steve: Oh, my goodness.
We are on.

Reed: I'm up, baby.
Look out.

Banks: That's how I do it.
Watch that rod.

Reed: Finally got
one on the line.

Banks: Here we go.
Steve: Oh my god!

Banks: Put it in gear!
Put it in gear!
Go, go, go, go, go!

Oh my god!
This thing's gone.

Reed: It's gone.
Banks: Oh my god.
Reed: One of them days.

Banks: That sucked.

We're never gonna climb
that leaderboard if we
keep fishing like this.

And with the quota being
as limited as it is.

This is not good.

Reed: You dumbass.
Banks: No, no, no, no.

Reed: Okay.

Steve: Lost him as
quick as we got him.

♪ ♪

tyler: What's up, dennis?

Dennis: So, what do you
got for me today, tyler?

Tyler: A nice
beautiful fish for you.

Dennis: Well, it
looks like a good one.
Let's check it out.

317 pounds, dressed.

Tyler: Perfect.

Dennis: Let's check it out.

Tyler: We're falling way
behind the rest of the fleet.

And with time running out,
we could really use a big
paycheck because we don't

wanna fall out of the race.

Dennis: A nice clear tail.
Not a ton of fat today.

Hopefully the core is good.

Core is gorgeous.
There's no doubt.

Marissa: Wow.

Tyler: What do you
think you can get me
for a fish like this?

Dennis: $18 a pound.

Marissa: Nice.

Tyler: Thank you very much.
We're gonna get you some more.

Dennis: Right on.
Tyler: Good job, merm.

Marissa: Thank you.
Dennis: Good job, guys.
Good luck.

Tyler: We're looking for more.
I'm not satisfied, you know.

I'm trying to go as hard
as I can and make as much
as I can before it's over.

We're out of here.

We got to make it happen.

Bobby: Hey, guys.
I got a lot of
weed on the right.

I'm trying to avoid it.

Drew: A lot of weed, bob.

Bobby: Grass, grass!
You got grass on your a*s.

Just [bleep] up
everything, dude, if
I run over that grass.

We're getting our
butts whooped.

Everyone's doubted
us all season.

Maybe we're too dumb
to be intimated.

We came here to win
this thing, you know.

It means something to us.

We wanna show that
we're, you know, a
top boat in this fleet.

Look at the size of that.
Dude, look at that.
It's a football field.

And you know there's
fish under there.

No one's gonna outwork us.

They may out catch us, they
may get a couple breaks.

But they're not
gonna outwork us.

We want to win
this damn thing.

I think we got a great shot.

Brian: There's a nice
slick right there.

Bobby: I know.
It's all weeds.

So I'm trying to
stay right on it.

[beeping]

yo! Big mark, bro!
Bro, look. Big mark!

Big mark!

Drew: Wolf pack.
Wolf pack!

Bobby: You see that [bleep]?
Drew: Yeah, man.

[beeping]

[reel unspooling rapidly]

brian: There it is.
Drew: Oh, there you go.

We're on!

Brian: Yeah, we're on!
Bobby: Heads up. Coming down.

You get the rod, brian.
I'll get everything else.

Brian: We're tight, buddy.

Bobby: Move over.
Move over.

Brian: Bump it.

Bobby: He's deep
in the mono, right?

Brian: I'm way into the mono.

Bobby: Yeah, get that
harpoon ready, drew.

Drew: Yeah.

Brian: He's coming
right up, dude.

Feels like something
weird about it.

He might be tail wrapped, bro.

Keep him right off
the back, bobby.

Bobby: Yup. Yup.

Brian: He got a little weight.
Nah, he ain't tail wrapped.

That's head shakes.

Get, get 'em, get
me over there.

Bobby: We're gonna go get him.

As soon as I clear him,
we're gonna go get him.

Ready? Here we go.
Going backwards now.

Drew: It's a head shake.

He just realized
he was hooked.

Bobby: He's acting
weird though, right?

Brian: No, he's acting
like a big fish now.

Drew: He was tail wrapped
and then got unwrapped, yup.

Brian: Now, he's fighting
and head shaking.

Bobby:
I'm gonna stay positive,
but we're on, baby.

Drew: Yeah, baby!

Bobby: Oh, that's the
way to dip that tip, man.

Look at that broomstick bend.

Nice, bro. Real nice.

You are absolutely
crushing this fish.

Nobody in this fleet thinks
bedbugs has a shot in hell.

So I wanna nail this fish
and prove them all wrong.

That is the best revenge.

Oh. Coming tight.

Brian: Here he comes.
Bobby: Drew, take the sticks.

Drew: Huh?
Bobby: Drew, take the sticks.

Brian: He's gonna
pinwheel out.

Bobby: Should I do it?
Brian: Hold on. Hold on.

Yeah, if you get him.
Hold on.

You missed him.
Come on, bobby.
What are you doing?

Bobby: Well, I
was close though.

Big fish, bro. Bump! Bump!

All right, he's coming, baby.
How about that!

Dammit.
Yeah, it was close, man.

Brian: No, it wasn't even
[bleep] close, bobby.

How about that!
Dammit.

Brian: I can't believe
you missed that.

I can't believe that.

Bobby: Yeah.
Yeah, it was close, man.

Brian: No, it wasn't
even [bleep] close, bro.

That's a [bleep] done
deal right there.

Bobby: A little bump.
No more. No mas.

Brian: The leader's on.
Get his a*s.

Leader's on, bobby.
You got to get him.

Bro, k*ll this [bleep] fish.

Bobby: Dude, it's angled.
Look at the angle.

Brian: k*ll this
[bleep] fish, bro.

Bobby: Boo-yah!
Brian: Did you get him?

Bobby: Say goodnight. Yeah.
Brian: Get a gaff in him.

We got to get a
tail rope on him.

We're gonna lose him, bro.
I can't hold him, bro.

Bobby: You got it, drew.
Brian: Holy [bleep].

Bobby: Oh!

Brian: Look, that fish
has a great shape, dude.

Bobby: Oh my god.

Brian: He's a
butterball, dude.

It's a nice, nice fish.

Bobby: Oh, yeah.
Here we go!
Fatty.

Drew: Yeah, baby!
Bobby: Yeah, baby! Whoa, fatty!

Drew: Look at that.
Brian: Yeah, look at that.

Bobby: There you go.
Drew: Damn is that fat.

This fish is big for us.

Bobby: Oh, yeah.
Tape measure.

Brian: What do we got, boys?
What do we got?

92.

Drew: Yeah, baby!
92 inches, yeah!

Bobby: Hell, yeah!
Hell, yeah.! Booyah, 92!

I'm proud of my team
right here, man.

My guys are the best.

Give a smile.
The best, man.

We did a great
job on this fish.

Beautiful fish. That's a gift.

Bobby [over radio]:
Bugging's dragging and tagging.

Heading home.

Reed: Hey, bugging
got another one.

Banks: What?

Steve: Oh, you got
to be kidding me.

Banks: You got to be joking.

Steve: Oh.
Reed: Oh.

Banks: That clown got one?

Reed: That just
ruined my morning. [bleep].

Bobby:
He called me a [bleep].

Drew: Who did?
Bobby: Reed.

Reed [over radio]:
Oh, boy.

Bobby: Oh!

Reed: Hope the bedbug
season is booming next year,
so that guy doesn't come back.

Banks: Maybe new york
will have another
bedbug infestation.

Reed: [bleep].

Bobby: Going back to
the winner's circle.

Dennis: Here he comes.

Bobby: Yo, we're waiting
to hear from you on quota.

Dennis: They're not gonna
announce anything today.

They could announce
something tomorrow.

Bobby: We fish tomorrow.

Dennis: Absolutely.

And, uh, let's get him
off and check it out.

Bobby: Big sickle fish.
Son of a rat's a*s.

All right, dennis.
What's the good news?

Dennis: 335 pounds
dressed, guys.

Bobby: Nice! We'll take it.
Drew: Sweet, sweet!

Dennis: It's a
really nice fish.

Let's check it out.

Bobby: With the
season almost over,

with the quota running out,
we need a top dollar.

We need a $20 plus fish here.

That'll put us
right at the top.

Dennis: Very, very
nice red tail color.

Nice fatty meat.

If the core color is
nice on this fish, this
is gonna be a big price.

Bobby: Come on.
Let's ring the register, dennis.

Come on, man.

Drew: Wow.
Bobby: Cherry red. Beautiful.

Dennis: Really,
really nice core.

Bobby: Dennis, this
is the one we need.

I mean, this is like last
day or two right here.

This is like big, big, big.
What can you do for us?

Dennis: It's a
beautiful fish, guys.

$22 a pound.

Bobby: Oh, yeah!
Drew: Yeah!

Bobby: That's what
we're talking about.

Oh, dennis, thank you.
Thank you, mary.

Mary: Great job, guys.

Bobby: It's the
last couple days.

And I personally
think we got it set up
right where we need it.

It's perfect.
We got this.

Drew: He got a plane
ticket to tokyo.

Brian: Let's get out of here.
Let's get out of here.

Bobby: Game over.
Drew: Yeah, baby!

Narrator: Dark horse
reel e' bugging's catch
propels them to the top.

While rasta rocket's $10,000
paycheck lands them in second.

Meanwhile, pinwheel's fish
keeps them in third while

hot tuna's fish
keeps them in the game.

No fish for kahuna
and offshore outlaw

push them down a few notches.

Tj [over radio]:
Bobby bedbugs, right now,
he's having the last laugh.

Bobby: They're all fired up.

Tyler: Bedbugs is smoking us.

I have a target on his back.
We got to push the envelope.

It's game on.

Zack: Bugging's in
the lead right now.

Why can't it be us?

We're out here giving
it a shot, and the
quota is going fast.

There's not telling how many
days we're gonna get to fish.

Reed: Tugs for bugs
better watch out.

John-michael: It's a
kick in the [bleep], son.

Adam: Man, that sucks, dude.

Adam [over radio]: Oh, boy.

Reed [over radio]: Dumb luck.

Bobby [over radio]: Hey, reed.
There's no reason you should
ever underestimate us.

Reed [over radio]:
It ain't over till
it's over, dude.

We'll see who ends up on top.

Bobby [over radio]:
What do you wanna bet?

It'll be the guy who's
sitting there now.

Reed [over radio]:
Watch out, bobby.

Bobby [over radio]:
You guys are ruthless.
