07x13 - Together We Stand

[bunniefuu]

She:H,t's about to happen.

I can feel it in my bones.

Cliff: Whoo! There it is!

Narrator:
It's all hands on deck...

Zack: It needs minnie love.

Narrator:
...As the battle continues.

Bobby: Please, tuna!

Narrator:
...For the tuna titans.

Zack: Hit him!

Dave: I got color right there.

Dirty: Got another bite.

Tyler: Good job, mrm.

Bobby: Tuna dance!
Ha ha ha!

Greg: Son of a [bleep].

Zack: Hell yeah!

Narrator:
...Which team has the drive...

Marissa: Tyler's like,
"mrm, we're on!"

Narrator:
...To put meat on deck?

Bobby: Most important part
of the fight right here.

Narrator: This is...

Nick: Damn!

Dirty: Unreal.

Marissa: Right there!

Narrator:
...Wicked tuna: Outer banks

Nick: You boys are the best!

Write that down.

Narrator: Northern champion

Hot tuna leads the fleet,

While three southern titans--

Fishin' frenzy,

Rasta rocket,

And reel e' bugging--

Land at the bottom.

But local boat little shell

Keeps the pressure on with less

Than a thousand-dollar margin

To take the top spot.

Greg: Guys, why can't you
just do your job?

You gotta be kidding me.

When it's not going your way...

It's all not going your way.

Billon: Greg's been frustrated.

We're usually
one of the top boats.

I mean, greg is used
to being number one,

And this season is,
you know, wearing on him.

It would wear on anybody.

It's wearing on all of us.

Greg: I'm going to bed.

Ugh.

Billon: We're tired,
we're frustrated.

Greg's never had
the best temper.

Greg: Oh, my god!

What the [bleep]
is going on here!

Damn it!

Billon: I'm ready to go home.

It's definitely
not good for morale.

When he's freaking out and
turning into captain [bleep],

We just keep our cool

And try to make sure
that, you know,

We're doing what he wants.

Dirty: It's a crazy
game we play.

You never know.

There's a bunch of highs
and lows to it, definitely.

Billon: Seems like the boats
that are having fun

Tend to do a lot better.

Paul: Dave's taking a nap.

We're gonna get set up
drifting some baits.

Beautiful sunset.

Look at that,
red skies at night.

Huh?

Look how gorgeous that it.

For us to be able
to pull this off

And stay competitive
to these guys,

We have to be running
on all cylinders all season.

But if anyone can do it,
we can do it.

There's a lot of talent
on this boat.

We have the a team.

We have the a team
to do it this year.

Sandro:
Working with paul is good.

I've never had an issue
against paul.

So I mean, it's just another day
on the boat with him.

I'm having fun with him.

You know, down here
you almost need that third guy.

It's a lot of work,
so we're gonna push hard,

And hopefully it works out
in the end, it pays off.

Dirty: Welcome to fight club.

Ugh, it's broke.

Billon: I got another one here.

Greg: Put one on the line,
then just tie it to it!

Billon: I got [bleep]
breaking, that's why.

Greg: Oh, my god.
What the [bleep]?

I think the main problem
on my boat right now

Is my crew's pretty slack.

It just seems like
the attitude right now is,

"well, you know,
we're gonna get a fish.

It's fine, we'll just get 'em."

And here I am on the wheel,

I'm struggling to figure out
what's going on

And trying to make
something happen,

And I don't feel like I've got
that from my crew right now.

Usually it comes easy to us;
this year it's not.

[ticking]

Billon: It's slipping, isn't it?

Or is that you letting it out?

Dirty: That's him
letting it out.

Greg: Oh, you're on already?

Billon: Here we go. Here we go.

Greg: You're on.
Billon: Damn.

Greg: I told you.

Dirty: You got 'em on or what?

Billon: Yeah.

Dirty: Yeah. All right.
Just heading back out,

Just got the balloons
in the water,

Got another bite,
so see what happens.

Greg: Careful, guys.

Dirty: All right, speed.

Watch out.

Greg: We're about
to lose this one.

Billon: Oh, I hope
this one stays on.

[beeping]

Dave: Let it go.
Man, he's like all over it.

I'm very confident
with the team I've got.

I know if we stick together
and make all the right moves,

We can get this done.

It sure is.
Come on, come on.

We can make the midnight cutoff.

With that said,

What's he doing?

Billon: Right here.
Big-a*s tuna.

Little bit of color here.

Wow, nice fish.

I'm gonna shove this thing
in him wherever I can.

Dirty: Gonna circle out
to the right.

Here he comes.
Circling back out.

He'll come up

He's going deep.

I don't know how good I got him.

I mean, I hit him.

Tie your other basket to it,

Get your ball on there, anyway.

Look out! Look out!

Oh!

Billon: Oh [bleep].

Greg: This is not good.

Not good at all.

Billon: Oh, lord, please.

Greg: We snapped the main line
on the rod.

Now the only thing
attaching us to this fish

Is the dart line.

It's rough out.

This is a disaster
waiting to happen.

I've never had a fish
dump a whole basket of line.

Then we chafed him off,

And now we just got him
on the dart.

Don't you dare let go
of that dart line.

Sandro: Neutral. Reverse.

Dave: Ooh, right there,
I got color right there.

Paul, right here.

Forward, forward.

Paul, hit him!

Hit him right there.

Dirty: Nope.

Billon: Unreal. No.

Greg: Absolutely
[bleep] incredible.

This season is not working out
the way I planned.

At this point, our chance of
catching up to the top boats

Is moving further and further
away from us.

And I feel like my crew
isn't giving a hundred percent.

Oh, my god.

What else can go wrong now?

Oh, I'm tired.

Dave: We can do this, guys.

Head west,

And hopefully we're gonna make
this midnight deadline--

Something I thought
we would have never done.

This is a game-changer
right now.

Dave: We can do this.
Sandro: Oh, yeah.

Look at this boat!

That's quick work
right there, baby.

That's some quick work, baby.

Paul: Clock is ticking, man.

Three hours to make the dock.

Sandro: 97 inches.

We're probably not
gonna make cutoff.

But now I have my boys on board,

this particular fish

More than any fish
we've ever had on the line.

Tuna lost his mind right now.

This has been a dicey
situation at best.

Bobby, jr.: We got color.

Bobby: Drew, take the controls.
Take the controls.

Good. Good. Slow it up.

Whoa!

Ahh.

Tuna fishing.

Bobby: Yeah!

Come here, bro!

Ahhh!

Anybody who fishes
with their children

Would understand it.

This is a big deal.

This...It's everything.

Yeah! Do the tuna dance!

Something me and my boys
will never forget.

One of the greatest
nights of my life,

To be quite honest with you.

It's not an overstatement,
not being hyperbolic.

Just a flood of emotions.

It's elation, it's just pride.

Wonderful experience.

Now how much respect
do you have for him?

He's the best guy in
the fishery, I'm telling you.

[laughing]

Bobby: I have tears in my eyes.

I mean, it's just
such an emotional experience.

There's a lot more going on here
than just fishing.

[laughing]

I wish they could both stay and
spend the rest of the season,

But right now
I'll take what I can get.

Jack! Jack!

Whoo!

Yeah, boys.

Brian: Get him in the boat.

Jack: I'll measure him.

Drew: What do we got, jack?

Jack: 97.
