01x03 - Ohana

[bunniefuu]

It's back to the drawing
board here.

Right now I'm looking at a bunch
of terrible handwriting

That only one man could produce,
my dad, captain phil harris.

A lot of marks which means
a lot of time was spent.

Well, it's got to be
something very special.

It's really exciting.

This is the only state where
you can go out and catch fish

And sell directly
to the restaurants.

It's kind of like
a crab fisherman's dream,

It's selling direct.

And it's probably
what the old man was thinking

When he started these charts.

Yesterday, we were over
at a restaurant,

Having a couple of c*ck,
discussing our plan of action

When we get to met
the restaurant owner.

We go through a lot of
ahi and people love mahi.

We can bring that to you
and you'll buy it from us?

Absolutely.
Whatever you pick up, I'll take.

- Boom.
- Yeah.

Here's to our first fish order.

Josh: this fish order
puts more pressure on me

Than filling the boat
in alaska.

And these charts of hawaii,
with all these markings,

Might be the key
to try to make business work.

So, whatever it is that
we can do to make business work,

We got to do it.

There's a lot of stuff
going on here.

And a lot of questions.

- Boom!
- Yee-haw!

My name is josh harris.

Bring them, buddy!

My dad was captain phil harris,
a legend on the bering sea.

You can't get any
better than me.

My dad was a badass fisherman.

When he died...

...he left me a mystery --
charts he made years ago

While exploring hawaii.

Let's do it.

My best friend,
casey mcmanus and I

Have come to the kona coast

And teamed up with one of
the best commercial fisherman

In hawaii, jeff silva.

Casey: dang, that guy's good.

Josh: find out exactly
what my father was doing here.

Casey: yeah! That was awesome.

But it ain't gonna come easy.

Careful, careful.
A lot more throttle.

A lot more throttle.
He's gonna run on you.

He's gonna run.
Keep his nose pointed up.

Fishing out here is not easy

And it's very frustrating
for me.

But I'm definitely
not gonna give up.

Yeah!

Josh:
...no matter what the cost.

Is there any mark that says,
mahi mahi

And ahi right close together?
- Right here.

It says,
"lots of mahi and ahi."

Boom with four stars.

If we were in
a chinese restaurant

That would mean it's pretty hot.
- It's hot. That stuff's on fire!

That's where we're
gonna find it.

We have our first
official fish order --

Ahi and mahi, the two most
popular fish to eat in hawaii.

The market is huge
and the opportunity

To make serious cash,
it's out there.

If my dad was gonna
try to figure out

Another business
in-between crab seasons,

This would be the perfect one.

If we can deliver on these fish
and build a network of buyers,

This could be
something monumental.

Thankfully, there's a spot
on my dad's charts

That can help us
catch these fish.

We need some
serious fish right now,

And the old man did it
obviously on the chart,

And it's not that far away
from where we launch.

You want to go
out there tomorrow?

Yeah.
That's where we need to go.

Get some snooze time in

'Cause it's gonna be
an early day.

- Dude, I'm super stoked.
- Let's do this.

Let's go
knock today out, dude.

Let's catch some fish.
That's what I'm talking about.

I got a good feeling
about today, a good feeling.

Right, I got the lines, buddy.
Back this puppy up.

Roger.

We've invested
a lot of money right now,

So far, we don't have
any return on investment.

We have an opportunity
to make some real money

With this new buyer.

We have to
take advantage of it.

- Hey, check out that star.
- That one right there?

- Yeah.
- That's the north star.

Is it still pointing north
because we're over here,

Not in alaska?

Seriously? Yes.
It's the north --

It's always the north star.

It doesn't matter where we go,
that's the north star.

Oh, yeah, yeah.
Oh, whatever.

- Dude.
- Onward. Onward.

Thank god jeff
is on our team.

If we're gonna make any money
out of this whole deal,

We're definitely
gonna need his help.

Oh, my god. Oh.

Thank god for jeff.

Here he comes.

There's jeffrey.

He's an ocean master.

- Beautiful morning.
- What's up, brother?

It is!

Josh: jeff silva,
hawaiian badass.

He comes from a long
family line of fisherman.

He knows the waters out here.
He knows the fish.

He knows to respect
the lay of the land.

And he's been showing us
the ropes around here,

And that's totally cool.

What's your guys' plan?
What are you guys gonna do?

Okay.

Got to watch my figure.

No prob. I'll give you guys
a couple of pieces of bait.

Dude, that would
be great, man.

You catch some fish, though,
it's my fish.

Jeff: I partnered with
josh and casey

'Cause they have a proven
track record in alaska.

I respect that.

They're new
to this type of fishing,

But they're starting
to figure it out.

The key to being successful
fishing out here in hawaii

Is just being consistent.

If josh and casey
can keep catching

And stay consistent with that,

We can be very fortunate
and make a lot of money.

- Yeah, boys.
- Thank you.

Let's get them today.

I'm gonna head out
and start looking.

We got a lot of work to do.

- Okay, brother.
- They're around.

How can you not
love that dude?

We're gonna be fishing
an area where my dad marked,

Mahi mahi and ahi.

It's the only place
in the whole chart

That has both fish in one place.

Going out for the big show now.

This chart is 30 years old,
but I'm banking on the fact

That hey, it's still holding up
and it's gonna be reliable.

Jeff: and we're out here,
we're fishing close,

We're working together.

It looks really good.

I mean, this is the most birds
that I've seen flying around

Since we've been out on a lot
of our trips, so that's good.

When you're looking for ahi,
look for bird piles.

You see birds
flying over something,

They're not doing that
for no reason,

There's a big bait pile
down there.

There's big bait schools
and the birds are hungry enough,

Chances are there's
some type of big game fish

That's underneath them,
and 90% of the time it's ahi.

So remember, kids,

Large pile of birds on land,
you're gonna get on.

Out on the ocean,
you're gonna get paid.

We'll get one today.

Yeah, I'm seeing action
in front of us.

We got a group of birds,

Low surface
right in front of us.

Oh, yeah?

I figure we'll just keep
heading in that direction.

There's a little action here,
see what they do.

There's a big fish
that just jumped there.

- Ooh!
- Seeing something?

Big splashes.
Should be -- ooh!

Oh, my god.
This is a bird pile.

This is a major bird pile.

All right, put that bait out.
- Okay. Ready?

Yep.

Hey, there they are.

Yes, you're here.
There was a fish right here.

He was up high,
then he kind of go down.

You can see all the bait
on the surface up here.

The birds are up here.

If you can imagine it,

The birds are up here
congregating, hunting the bait.

This is the bait pile.

And then you got
ahi's that are underneath

Going up and down,
up and down,

Trying to attack
on the surface.

So it looks like it's gonna get
really good here really soon.

We just need
a little bit of luck.

If we can get
a little bit of luck,

Maybe we can get a bite.

If we can get a bite,

Maybe we can get one
on the stick.

Look at that, josh.

Look at the marks at 30.
That's good, they're high.

Oh, yeah.

There is so many variables
to getting fish on board.

It's insane.

There's so many variables
to just finding the fish.

What makes it not easy
is these can fish can cruise

At 60 miles an hour,
as we're moving, too,

So it's not like a crab that
moves at .0001 mile per hour.

Oh, dude, we're marking fish.

It's stressful.

I'm getting more gray hairs
as we speak right now,

And this is terrible.

Look at this beard, it was
all black when I came here.

Ooh, there's a nice mark
right there.

Jeff:
there's a fish right here.

Seen a lot of life
here on the surface.

Casey, we got a fish.

You got it, buddy.

He is hanging out
under the boat.

Maybe don't run on it, though.

No, it's -- you want to run
on it, we're tiring him out.

You don't want
to give him any slack

Because then
they'll yank the hooks.

See what I mean?
- Yeah.

Let's wear him down.

Come on.

Keep cranking, buddy.
Don't let him up.

If you give that guy an inch of
slack he's gonna take a mile.

Keep cranking.
He's diving on you.

Just wear him out.

Oh, there he is.

I don't know what
that is but it's big.

Holy.

I'm pretty sure it's tuna,
a big ahi.

Yeah!

Keep him going!
Keep him going!

That's definitely a tuna.

A lot of emotion is running.
I can't lose this fish.

The way it's pulling
on the line feels like

It's an absolutely beast.

I need this payday right now.

He's a big one.
- We need this fish.

Keep him going!
Keep him going!

-Don't stop.

I thought...

Keep going, keep going.
Oh, he's gonna run on you!

He's gonna run. Oh.

He's going
under the boat, josh!

Careful! Careful! Careful!

- He's under the boat.
- Holy!

I'm pretty sure
it's a tuna, a big ahi.

- Yeah!
- Keep him going!

Keep him going!
Don't let him up.

If you that guy an inch of slack
he's gonna take a mile.

We have an opportunity
to make a lot of money

With this fish buyer,
every hook up is huge.

I cannot lose this fish.

He's a big one.
- Don't stop.

-We need this fish.

Keep him going.
Keep him going.

Oh, he's gonna run on you!
He's gonna run!

Keep his nose pointed up.

He's under the boat.

He's running under
the boat hard?

Yeah.

Getting near the prop.

Oh!
- Careful! Careful! Careful!

There it goes.

Argh! He broke it off
on the trim tab.

Lost him.

Ah!
Fish ran round the back,

Hit the trim tab
and that was it.

Argh!

So trim tab is around
the back of the boat

Providing less resistance
in the water.

You can get better, better
speed, better gas mileage.

You catch a fishing line on
one of those, paycheck's gone.

In this case two grand's gone.

Josh: yes, it was a huge ahi.

I can't believe
I did that, that sucks.

That was about two grand
we can just kiss goodbye.

I am just beside
myself right now.

Sorry not seeing
your boys catch, man.

It's brutal.
It's heartbreaking.

Fishing is not easy right now,
so every fish counts.

The price is high, you know,
and to put it in perspective,

You show up to work,

Your boss is getting ready
to hand you a paycheck,

And instead of giving it to you,
he tears it up,

Throws it on the ground
and walks away,

That's basically
what just happened.

But got to shake
like that off.

You know, you can't scream,
you can't cry,

That fish is gone.

You got to accept it.

Hey, next time that happens,
though, if I can't see it

'Cause
you're in-between me and it,

Holler at me where he's going.

You got to say, "get ahead
of it. Get ahead of it."

Because if it's --
- I don't even know.

I don't know anything about --

Oh, he was hiding
under the boat.

Once he goes under the boat
he can get caught on anything.

If we keep him over there
then he can't get under us,

You know, if we keeping
spinning around him.

Casey.

Casey can never stop telling me
what I'm doing wrong.

Losing this fish sucks
and it's not fun,

And I don't need
a lecture on top of it.

We're on the struggle
bus this morning.

There's a lot of fish
jumping over there, though.

We gonna check it out,
drive over there?

Yes, slowly, because I got
to rig this guy yet.

Ah,.

. Would you hold
the damn boat still?

I'm trying not to
anything up

While I'm doing this,
all right?

What is that right there?
It's like, it's a fish.

Give me another piece
of twine, please?

Yeah, is that a fish
that's just wounded?

- Quickly.
- I'm trying..

Doesn't matter
what that's doing.

Oh, it's a flying fish
that's wounded.

Josh?

Dude! Come on, josh! Give --

Will you
calm the down!

The time.
You got to get --

Shut the up
and calm the down!

I had to go dig
in the bottom of this place.

You need to relax!

Good god, man!
Take some prozac or something.

Here's your line.

Relax.

You're most impatient
person I've ever met.

It's just all about you.

- Oh, it's all about me?
- Yes!

You sure?

Dude, that's no good!
That...

It's like,
just chill out, dude!

All day, come on!

All night, too,
if you want it.

I just passed our partners
casey and josh.

Honestly, man, I mean,
they're not even trying.

I don't know what he's doing.

They're not even
fishing right now.

They're -- I mean,
looking at where they're at.

Now this! No, "hey, do this!"

No, you didn't --"

What the
do you expect?

- Doing it for you.
- But you yell, you don't ask.

Casey: I knew phil growing up
and he had a legendary temper.

Patience isn't
one of my virtues.

Hey, hey, hey!
Who asked you to talk?

Just shut up.

Get your a*s outside
and earn your money,

And I'm talking right now.

Kid knows
how to push my buttons,

I swear to.

Casey: and I see a lot
of that in josh.

Man, if you don't like it,
get the off my boat.

"Do this! No, don't do that."

It's like,
just chill out, dude!

All day, got all all
night, too, if you want it!

But when phil would
yell and scream

He did it for
the betterment of the boat

And help accomplish the goal
of making more money.

The reason this boat's
in the top 10 or 15

In the fleet
through the years,

Is because we have
a certain way,

When you deviated from that,
you us up.

It's like, you know, you stress
me the out, man.

It doesn't make it fun.
- Not catching fish isn't fun.

I'm not quite sure
that josh has perfected

Using that harris temper
for the good of the cause yet.

I'm going home. I am done.

Oh, this is gonna be
a fun ride home.

Jeff: looks like josh and casey
are calling it a day.

Can't go on early
like that without fish, man.

This is the last thing
we need right now.

This is a hard job
and it's impossible

When you're
at each other's throats.

You have to be working
with somebody that you trust.

There's too much on the line,
they can't be acting like this.

For this thing to work,
you know, our partnership,

They need to meet one
of the top guys out here.

After watching the show
of casey and josh today,

I think they need
some mentorship,

About what it means about being
a fisherman out here in hawaii.

What's up, uncle john,
how's it going?

All right!

Uncle john is one of
the best fisherman in hawaii,

And I would be lying
if I didn't say

That I learned probably most of

What I know today
by watching him.

Oh, yeah?

No way.

We was thinking about maybe
bringing josh and casey up.

Figured, you know,
talk to you.

You know, he helped me,

But if you don't trust the guys
that you fish with,

There's no way that you can be
a successful fisherman,

That's just the way it is.

Okay, man.
Well, good going today.

Yeah, I'll call you,
we'll get together.

Everything I learned about
being successful out here,

I've learned from him.

I want to see if uncle john

Can point them
in the right direction.

That guy right there, he set
the standard for us out here,

And we definitely want
to sit down with casey and josh

Because he knows a lot
about the industry,

And he can give these guys a lot
of insight on the struggles.

You know, legacy fisherman,

You got to learn
from other legacy fisherman.

He's a legend and I'm happy
that he's more than willing

To sit down with these guys
and talk to them,

And you know,
we'll see where it goes.

Fishing out here is not easy

And it's very frustrating
for me.

- Oh! Oh, yeah!
- Dude, they're everywhere.

Maniac!

- There's johnny!
- Hillstrand.

Are you sure you're taking us
to the right place?

I don't know.

What do you mean
you don't know?

You have answers
for everything.

Calm down, dude.

My ear's ringing
from you screaming.

Oh, that's how I feel
at the wheelhouse.

I lose a fish, and then I get
into an argument with casey

About losing the fish.

I mean, if this day
could not get any worse.

We're losing money by the hour,
so tensions are extremely high.

I think this it.

- Oh, there's jeff.
- There's jeff. That's it.

We've found the right party.

We're late again.
It was your fault.

- No, it was not my fault.
- I'm blaming it on you.

Jeff: I'm a little worried
about this partnership.

I mean, if these guys
can't get it together

We're not gonna make any money.

So I invited them up to meet

Some of the best fishermen
that I know.

- What up, jeff?
- You guys find it okay?

It's kind of hard to always
have a positive mindset

When you're basically glued
to somebody 24/7

And then you're not catching.

It's hard out there
and casey and josh

Are fighting
instead of fishing.

- How are you?
- Good. Good. Thank you.

We brought up some dessert.
And we got some king crab.

- Oh.
- You guys hungry?

Oh, yes.

I never like seeing
my friends struggle.

I want to show them
people that support me.

My ohana, my family,
these are the people

Who have helped mentor me
into the fisherman that I am,

And I want to share that
with casey and josh.

I love it.
I love fish tag here.

I tell you what,
even on a day

Up there, though,
I never got a sunburn out here.

And you get your a*s,
you know what I'm saying?

You get a sunburn, it sucks.
- Try that yet?

No, I'm --
you have to pig?

Are you kidding me?
It's so amazing.

Dude, not pig?
It's like if jesus christ --

What?

Thank you very much
for inviting us over.

- No, you're very welcome.
- It's an honor.

So, you know,
a big part of, you know,

Bringing you guys up here
was meeting ohana

Because it's everything
over here.

Ohana means family in hawaii.

It doesn't matter if you're
related or your bloodline

Or you're a stranger,
it's our way,

It's our culture
to take people in,

To show you the ways
that things should be done.

That doesn't matter if you're
related to somebody or not,

Like this, it's just how
someone opens up your home

Without knowing somebody,
bring you in and, you know,

Give you anything that they have
without even knowing you.

That's the way that, you know,
that they were raised

And that's the way that,
that I was brought up.

I was inspired by these guys
because growing up with fishing,

I was so lost.

I didn't know left from right,

Up from down
and these guys were --

You couldn't touch them,
you still can't touch them.

Even at their age,
you still can't touch them.

You know, they inspired me
to not be good fisherman,

Just to be a good person.

So uncle chuck,
I have a question for you.

How old are you now?


- Yeah.

And how long
have you been fishing for?

Dude, that's like triple
how old I am.

That is quite impressive.

You are definitely a pillar
in this community

And being able to learn
from the best of the best,

You know, it's really cool

To get to hear
what your thought process

Is because fishing out here
is not easy

And it's very frustrating
for me,

Because I don't understand it.
I'm learning a lot but...

And I thought it was gonna be
a lot easier than what it is,

And it's not easy.
- Yeah.

Uncle john,
what is the best thing

That you could tell
someone that's like,

In your life with all you've
accomplished as a fisherman,

And someone that's young
like him and aspiring?

That's my number one thing.

You've got to have
a lot of patience.

You, you don't have patience,
pack it up.

You just might
as well leave, huh?

My life, my whole life
you have patience

And you always catch fish.

I think spending some time
with these old guys,

And talking to them about this,

Put things in perspective
for josh and i.

When I look at josh I can tell

That he's really intense
right now and in the moment,

And I need to back off a little
and be a little bit

More supportive
on an emotional level.

He's got a lot of weight
on his shoulders,

A lot of pressure to not only
carry the legacy of phil harris

And the cornelia marie,
but to push that legacy farther.

Josh: my dad said teamwork
was everything.

The crew are working together

As the pumping heart
of the boat.

- Howdy, fellas!
- Hey!

Josh: without it, you could have
the best boat on the planet

But if nobody can work
together then it was over.

It's about time to work
with the guy, do you understand?

Please understand.

Josh: as casey and I
have come to hawaii,

We came up here with our egos,
with our ability to fish,

And come to find out
we know nothing.

Now the struggle
is being control freaks,

As being masters and commanders
of our own ship,

And being able
to work together

And not freak out and learn
who you're working with,

And know their push buttons
and not try to hit those.

It's a lot harder than it seems.

We have to work as a team

Because we have got
to fill this order,

And if we don't work together
and grow to get stronger,

Then we will fail.

Phil: all that work
for all those years

To make today happen.

So you can either pull it off
or blow it off and we'll see.

Josh: I will not fail.

Casey: number one today, man.
Let's make things happen.

Yeah, no more strike outs.
I'm with you.

- Boom.
- Good idea.

Let's make it a good day,
buddy.

Hey, let's just start
making our way out like this.

Yeah!
- I'm ready to rock.

Jeff has handed us all the tools
to build this shed

And right now, we barely got
the foundation going,

But as we work as a team
it'll go up quick.

It's just a shed, and then
we can start building a house.

New day, brother. A new day.
- It's a new day.

Pull our
currency luck card today.

No kidding.
We're gonna need it.

Yes, we are.
A little harris luck for today.

Old man,
shine down on us.

Need some luck, buddy.
Need some luck.

It's time to put the spite
behind us and get some fish.

Dad's chart shows an area
where he's spotted

Mahi and ahi and yesterday
we found a fish,

But we gave up on
fishing a little too early

Because we got into a fight,

But that's definitely not
gonna happen again.

If I work hard enough
and I respect the culture

And I respect the land,

And my team of people that
I work with, it means something.

So we're going back
to the same area,

We're gonna get the job done.

We're right
where we want to be.

You got a nice bird pile feeding
right here off of the side

Of the boat,
diving, hitting the water.

It's exactly what we want,
right here.

Marking a fish right here at 35,
so we're in the spot,

We just -- we just need
something to happen.

We're working out here
together today,

There's no other competition,

There's no other boats
in the area.

Hopefully, we can hook
something really soon.

Go get them, little buddy.

Oh, I like to hold my bait like
this, holding it in the line,

That way I can feel
what the fish is doing.

Usually when there
is something on them

Or there's something
hunting him,

You kind of feel the bait
kicking at all times.

If you don't feel
your bait kicking it means

Either he got hit or he's gone.

The bait's kind of
getting nervous right now.

I can feel him kicking,
that's a good thing.

Josh: I think jeff's line trick
is working.

This bait is going crazy.

He is back there nervous
as hell.

There's something scared him.
I seen a fish jump right by him.

He is freaking out.

Yeah, there's
down there.

Oh, boy.
He don't like it either.

- I got 30.
- Come on!

Come on, come on,
come on, come on!

Eat it! Eat it!
Eat it! Eat it!

Jeff: there was a fish
right here.

It's just a waiting game.

Just got to sit tight
and be patient,

And somebody is gonna hook up
really, really soon here.

All right, buddy.

-We're in it.

We got a lot of life
over here, bud.

A lot, lot of life.

That's what I'm talking about.
Oh, it's a nice one!

All right, buddy.

We got a lot of life
over here, bud.

A lot, a lot of life.

- Yeah!

That's what I'm talking about.
Oh, it's a nice one.

Get him, buddy.

We're gonna try
to land it on this side, josh,

And do the okay?
- All right. Got it.

I've got the gaff ready
if you need it.

Drive ahead on him,
he's passing us.

- Okay. Okay. Hold on.
- He's passing it!

He's passing the boat.
Hit it in here hard.

More throttle, more throttle,
more throttle!

A lot more throttle!
A lot more throttle!

Nice job, josh.

To your right, to your right.

Good. Good, good, good,
good, good, good!

I think josh and casey
are hooked up, that's good.

We got a buyer on the line
with a huge opportunity

To make big money.

We have to land this fish

And fill that fish box
right now.

- Here, he's coming towards us.
- What is it? An ahi?

It's mahi mahi.

Oh, yeah.
Look at that.

Beautiful.

You want gaff for this guy?

- No.
- You want to wind him in?

- Yep.
- Oh,.

Oh,. He's pissed.

Go, go, go, sh**t.

- Nice job, brother.
- Yeah.

- Dude.
- Boom!

Let's go get another one.

Amazing.

A.
Let's get another one.

Oh, there's something
a jumping.

We've got fish
chasing this guy here.

He's gonna get hit
by a mahi in about --

- Oh, there --
- ...right now.

There's one right now, yeah.
There's two of them.

One of them took it...

And it's a big one.

Oh, oh! There's three of --
oh!

- Oh, yeah! Dude.
- Open -- open this.

Way to go, buddy.

Oh,

They're everywhere.

Two to the box!

Wow! There's got to be
hundreds of them out here.

Oh, yeah.
No, there's a school.

And each fish
that goes in the box

Is another $100 bill
in our wallet.

Dude, I know. We're doing this.
This is teamwork at its finest.

We're k*lling it.
I'm feeling pretty good.

Yeah.
We're in the thick of it, dude.

Look at jeff.
h*, h*,.

- Whoo!
- We're on!

Then I look over at jeff...

And see what k*lling it
really looks like.

Good god.
We have a long ways to go.

Yeah!

Maniac!

Yeah!

Yeah!

Man, dang, that guy's good.

Jeff silva, fish master.

Jeff:
they're all over the place.

The bite's on.
It's a feeding frenzy.

We're basically
flipping $100 bills

In the boat right now.

He's a big one. Whoo!

Boy, that's a powerful one!

It's all right.
I'll get him in.

All right, and...

Nice job.
You got it down now, dude.

- I learn from you.
- All right. All right, good job.

All right,
so let's go catch nine.

We have a fish order
to complete.

If we want to make
any real money,

We need to catch the ahi.

They're worth


So we need to get away
from this school

And go hunt us down an ahi.

You gonna give jeff a call?

- Yeah, I'll call jeff right now.
- Okay.

I'm getting our bait
set up going.

- Yo.
- What's going on, brother?

It's not bad. How's it going?

Oh, you know, we're just trying
to stay ahead of the game here.

Well, try to get up
into the front of the birds.

Try to stay in the front
because that's where the ahi

And that's where
the bait are at.

Okay. Roger.

Reposition and just always
kind of stay up in the front.

All right. We're doing it.
We're gonna nail one.

A little bit of
encouragement for them.

Go for it.

- Okay?
- Yeah.

Ready to rock.

There's fish around.

I can see them.

-We're marking them up.

- What are you marking at?
- 40, 45.

- We got a fish.
- Fish on.

- We got a fish on.
- All right!

It's all yours.
- I got it, got it going.

Pull up right over
the side of the corner.

Okay.

This thing is bending a pole
like nobody's business.

- Ooh!
- Ooh, boy.

Whoo!

Boy, that's a powerful one!

That thing literally
just took 300 yards of line.

I'm thinking it's an ahi.
- It could be an ahi.

I don't know what the
it is, but it pulls.

He's pissed.
- Keep on cranking with your arm.

Let's not lose this one.

Josh:
how are we doing, my man?

Hey, just the man
I wanted to see.

Fishing with my family is
the only thing I've ever known.

Yes! Oh!

We've come a long way,
but I still have questions.

Thankfully,
the calvary has arrived.

There's johnny! Hillstrand!

Oh, nice.

Yeah,
he's got a nice yellow fin.

A lot of times
what guys will do,

They'll take the fish off,
open this up like this.

Blah!

I am definitely somebody
that has a weak stomach.

- Here, hold that for me.
- Oh, god!

I don't even
feel sorry for you.

All right?
- Ugh!

Josh, in particular,
has a really good jump to him.

What's wrong with you?
Is it over?

Ugh!

-Over there.

There's only guy
that can gag like that.

You got some red
on your shirt.

All right, pay attention.
Pay attention.

All right?
- I'll pay attention.

All right, here we go.

We're gonna come straight
down, straight down like this.

Hear the click?

All right. This just falls off,
just like that.

Okay?
- You don't have to be strong.

You just got to be smart,
that's all.

Are you smart?
- No.

Come on!

Josh: that was disgusting.

Josh:

This thing is bending a pole
like nobody's business.

- Oh, boy.
- Ooh.

Ooh! Boy,
that's a powerful one!

We have a restaurant in town

That's gonna buy
whatever we catch.

Thankfully, we've pulled
this time a mahi,

But we still have not landed
a big money fish, the ahi.

That thing literally
just took 300 yards of line.

I'm thinking it's an ahi.

Josh: dad's chart shows an area
where he spotted

Mahi and ahi.

My old man never
missed his quota

And I've done it in the past,

But I'm not about
to let it happen again.

It could be an ahi.

I don't know what the
it is, but it pulls.

Now I got two partners
that are absolutely amazing,

So let's do this.

- Watching the line.
- It's pissed and it's big.

You can hear the tension
on the line.

He's pissed.

Crank it, buddy.
Keep cranking.

It is a b*tch
to reel in.

I'm praying it's not...

Come on, please.

Oh, ..

Got to be getting tired
'cause I'm tired.

- I'm dropping out.
- Go ahead.

Get in there.

You're a big fish.

Pretty sure it's the biggest
fish I've ever caught.

Phew! Big fish!
This thing is k*lling me.

I need a second wind!

Oh!
- Okay, buddy. You got this.

Son of a...

Come on!
- How's the arm?

Feel like when we --
- oh, it feels it.

My arm feels like freaking
jell-o right now.

Your turn, josh. Open.

Keep her going.

I got color.

- Ahi?
- It's an ahi.

We are gonna get this fish.

We're not gonna give up.

Here, he's coming towards us.
Coming towards us!

Come, keep him coming.
Bring him right up.

Keep coming to me. Oh!

Just flop over here.

One, two, three. Two, three.
Head first! Head first!

- And head --
- oh!

...head towards me.
You got an ahi.

- Holy!
- Yeah!

Damn!

We're having drinks tonight.

Yes!

- Oh.
- Huh.

Holy!

It feels
unbelievably amazing

To bring in one of these fish.

It felt like I pulled up
a full pot of crab.

Absolutely phenomenal.

I think this at least
a $1,200 fish.

Landing this ahi has just lifted
a huge weight off our shoulders.

It's gonna cover
fuel, food, everything.

Putting that
ahi into the cooler...

Yeah

...knowing that
we had a payday...

Oh,

Oh, there's
no other feeling like it.

Josh: what a day,
brother!

Good going, man.
You guys got some fish.

The box is damn near
to the gills, dude.

Filling that cooler,
that's good. That's awesome.

I think this calls
for a c*ck,

A celebration, a count up
and see what we've got.

- Yeah.
- Let's do it.

See you in there.
- Going home.

Hey.

There's a hell
of a day, huh, buddy?

Hell, yeah.
Gonna get paid today.

Don't get much better
than that.

This order was
our first opportunity

To make some real money here.

There was a period of time

I didn't think
we'd be able to do it.

What up, buddy? Good day?

With a lot of help
from a pro, jeff silva...

Proud of you guys.

...we ended
up pulling if off.

Between the two boats we were
able to bring in 17 mahis,

And more importantly,
a nice fat ahi.

- It's a beautiful fish.
- You're a good team.

- That's a nice fish.
- A good job.

Today's catch will get us
about four grand,

And that is one hell of a day.

I am impressed.
Thoroughly impressed.

This thing is heavy as hell!

Yeah, it's a big b*tch.

Ouch!

Josh: this order was
our first opportunity

To make some real money here.

I know the old man
was watching over us,

He helped fill that order.

How we doing, my man?

Hey, just the man
I wanted to see.

And, you know,
I think about it now

And it's like, I really believe
that he is sitting here,

Kind of on my shoulder,
a little birdie on my shoulder,

And that's very important.

I still need him
out in the water

Watching over my back.

A little bit harder
than we anticipated, but...

They're running, huh?

...we got
some fresh fish for you.

Wow! Nice and firm.
Clear eyes.

Oh, gorgeous! Good catch!

Josh: whether it was my brother,
my dad, or even casey...

Good job.

...fishing with my family

Is the only thing
I've ever known.

So bang,
let's start the hour, huh?

Let's get this trip wrapped up.

Josh: it makes going through
the craziest,

Hardest things in life
so much easier.

Two crab.

Barely enough for a crab seller.
It's heartbreaking, you know.

Every pot that you set
can't be filled to the top.

But I tell you what, tomorrow's
gonna be a good day.

It makes each success
so much sweeter.

- Wow! Who caught them?
- Oh, we all did.

Yeah?

- A group, group effort.
- That's one full crab pot.

We call it kicking a*s
and taking names.

For you, buddy! Yeah!

We've come a long way
here in hawaii,

But I still have questions
with no answers.

Thankfully...

It must be hillstrand.

...the calvary has arrived.

- Yep.
- There's johnny!

The one and only,
johnathan hillstrand.

We'll show them how it's done,
skipper-style over here.

Hey, hey, hey!
That all you got?

Johnathan hillstrand, owned
and operated the time bandit.

Yeah, baby!
Yeah, we're loading this fish!

Second family to me.

- Aloha!
- What are you doing, brother?

Phil harris,
johnathan hillstrand,

Cut from the same cloth.

I'm really not sure
where it's gonna go,

But I can tell you one thing,
I'm excited to see what happens,

And maybe he can
help me understand

This here treasure map.

I'm here,.

So get the party started!
