03x06 - Swamp Captains

[bunniefuu]

So, this is venice.

It's a lot of marshy swap.

I've known josh
for a very long time

And I've never heard him
quite as confident

As he was when he called us
for this place.

Josh and I started
this business

Based on his old man's dream.

In hawaii,
we had concrete evidence.

Looks like your dad
experimented with

The most productive
fishing depths

Around the entire island.

[casey] and we had help.

If he says
this is a viable option

To turn into a business,
I gotta go check it out.

See what the opportunity
really is like here.

But we'd be starting over
from scratch.

I admire how much
josh wants to follow

In his father's footsteps,

But right now,
we both need him to be right.

Josh!

Yeah-ha!

Boom!

I am captain josh harris.

I keep looking at that picture

And he keeps
looking back at me.

Phil harris was my father.

And a legend
on the bering sea.

[phil] all right, sweetheart

You can't get
any better than me.

I'm just a smiling
*bleep* jack.

[josh] I followed his trail
from hawaii to gulf of mexic

To expand our warm water
fishing business.

This thing is massive.

Down here, I finally got
a glimpse of the empire

My dad was trying to build

Decades ago.

One, two, three.

[heavy] all righty, boys.

Let's see what your
dream canyon can do.

[josh] and now, it's my chan
to make it real.

Alligator. *bleep*

[josh] building
the second arm
of our business,

It won't come easy.

-Got 'em!
-[all exclaiming]

Yes, look at the size
of that monster.

Like the old man said--

You earn it! Earn it!

[josh] and that's exactly
what we're gonna do.

We're on, we're on.

[heavy exclaims]

Just stick him good. Go!

*bleep*

Get him.

[water splashing]

So, tell me about
the fish order you drummed up.

[josh] well, guy's name
is matt o'brien.

Pretty serious guy
in the industry.

[bill] he's the real deal.

He supplies some
of the best restaurants

And he moves a lot of product.

So, there's a lot at stake
with getting this guy

The best of the best.

[josh] our orders down here

Little bit different
than hawaii.

Matt, he's a wholesaler,
not a chef.

He's got specific product
he needs every week

Based on market price
and what his clients want.

That's very simple
order though.

We got a swordfish to catch.

But we don't have
a lot of time to get it done.

This trial contract
that he gave us

Is for 700 pounds of swordfish

Due before his trucks
roll out on Tuesday.

All right, where do you
guys wanna start?

We can just sh**t straight out

And start hitting this rigs,
you know.

They have fats here?

They got oil rigs.

[bill] this structure's been
there for a long time,

So it's all the growth
on the supports.

So, small fish feed on that.

The bigger fish feed
on the small fish

And it just goes up
the food chain.

[josh] so, I talked to heavy,

The boat captain
that we'll be going with

And we go on here, 168 miles,

We come into this
thing called, green canyon

And there's a swordfish
right over here.

We're thinking about
checking that out.

It's supposed to be
some pretty unreal fishing
out there.

Oh *bleep*
this is a really big chart.

Okay, 160 miles.

That's a lot of fuel,
that's a lot of risk.

I mean, our overhead is going
to be through the roof
right away.

The green canyon is like,

That's known to be, like,
a freeway for these.

'cause, you know, they like
that upwelling off the edge

You know, you got
a little bit of tide here.

If you take the time
and effort to get out there

And it pays for itself.

The fish ends
being how it's been,

It's going to be worth it.

It's a risk, they get it.

But remember one thing, phd.

-A little phil harris, dude.
-Yes. Yeah.

-There's no phd's
in your family.
-Yeah.

I always thought phd meant
parents have doubt.

-Parents have doubt. Yeah.
-[all chuckling]

We got four of us
down here now, it's one boat.

I think we need to
split up into teams.

I think the thing to do
would be to call heavy.

Look at all these boats,
he can find somebody for us.

-[josh] will you
give him a call?
-Sure.

All right, cool.

He lives way
the hell out here.

Captain ron lives
out here somewhere.

If heavy thinks
he's all right,

We should talk to him
and see if we can,

Him giving a shot.

Heavy recommended we find
his buddy, ronald.

He runs chores with him.

Supposed to be hell
of a fisherman.

[casey] you called him
that we were coming?

No.

[smacks lips] what?

[knocks on door]

-Knock, knock.
-[g*nsh*t]

-*bleep*
-dang!

Welcome to louisiana.

Ah!

That's why.

Hey, ron, is that you?

Yeah!

[casey] don't sh**t,
we're coming over
to talk to you.

Hey.

-I'll take it, you're ron.
-Yes, sir.

How can I help you all.

I'm buddies with heavy.

Right.

What y'all looking to do.

We're looking for the guy
to take us fishing.

We're kind of expanding
down south east.

We need a guide
to take us out,

We can split up,
divide and conquer a little.

-Right.
-Think you'll be in
for something like that?

What's the pay?

Well, we'll cover all the
expenses right off the top.

And we do everything on
percentage where we come from.

Yeah, the whole alaska thing
is you don't catch a crab,
you don't get paid.

That's kind of the way
we wanna do this.

So, we just start
our guys on deck.

You know, good deckhand five,
five and a half percent, net.

Yeah, five percent
ain't gonna work.

What are you thinking?

-15?
-[g*nsh*t]

What about eight percent?

We cover everything,
oil changes.

Fuel, bait.

Eight. Eight percent.

Still too low.

[g*nsh*t]

I'll do it for ten.

Oh.

Yeah, we gotta get
hooks in the water.

-Let's do it.
-Do it?

Yeah, do it.

All right, ron. Deal.

-Deal?
-Ten percent.

Sounds good to me fellas.

All right, brother.

What time you want me
at the dock in the morning?

Bright and early.

-What you call
bright and early?
-4:30.

Sounds great.
Let's k*ll some *bleep*

-Yes, sir.
-[all chuckling]

So far, it's a hell of a place
you found there.

Never negotiated a crew share
with an armed deckhand before.

-Glad to be in business
with you, ron.
-Yeah, baby.

-You got it, buddy.
-See you all in the morning.

First time for everything.

Let's get the *bleep*
outta here.

All right, let's get
these servers filling.

[heavy] all right, boys,
we're going to see

Some *bleep* we haven't
seen before today.

We're going through the deep.

[bill] 700-pounds of swordfi
might not seem like a lot,

But these bad boys are
notorious for being a harder

They swim, like,
60 miles and hour

And they fight like hell.

And love deep water.

So, the spot we're headed to

It's 160 miles off shore,

It's trench called
green canyon.

[heavy] welcome
to the canyon, boys.

[josh] so what do we got here?

Most of your swordfish
will be here,

In this trench right here.

And they'll run up and down
these trenches at speed,

So it's one of our
favorite spots to fish.

Okay. All right.

So, I guess we start down here

And I put casey
and bill up here.

We gotta just work it
up and down here.

Yeah, so you use
all the hotspots.

Okay, cool.

So, this is it, huh?

Yeah, so I think we'll
just split apart.

You guys take one area,
we'll take the next

And work towards each other,
see what we'll come up with.

Okay, I hope you know
what you're talking about.

Yeah, I got high hopes.

-All right, good luck, guys.
-Later, guys.

Swordfish hanging
on the bottom of the deck.

In night they come up *bleep*

Everyday, you gotta
get to the bottom.

All right, let me
get it setup here.

You wanna put
a leader on there

Then you put the lights on.

Then the bait.

So, the lights get 'em close
and the scent guides 'em in.

Nice.

Same speed.

-[reel pulls in]
-yeah.

So, when we start
fishing here,

Today we'd be starting
at the bottom.

You know, 1,600-foot.

Damn, it's deep.

So, we're going back
to the lake,

We go to the top,
then we touch the bottom.

And then we'll come up like,
45 cranks,

About a 100-foot.

And once I get on top,
I'm gonna turn the bogeys,

Drift with the wind.

[casey] we're targeting fis

Three times deeper than what
we fish for crabs
in bering sea.

That's a lot of line to have
off late tackle like this

And a lot of room for error.

[reel pulling]

They're pretty good fighters?

Oh, yeah, one of the most
epic battles,

They call 'em the gladiators
of the sea.

They jump like a merlin
and then go down 1,000-foot.

In one run.

If I have to go to hospital
for any reason after this--

No, I got your back, man.

Just like the old days, man.

I'll make sure that
thing don't k*ll us.

You wanna make a bet?

You'll wager on who's
luck's better?

You know, what makes
it more interesting,

On who can pull out
the bigger swordfish.

Ah, I'll take that challenge.

A-ha. Well, good luck.

You don't lose
to your little brother,

You gotta beat
your little brother.

I'm doing this to prove
a point to my kids.

That is, we gotta come down
here and hand throw.

Watch this, you guys.

You know, dad was always
having us compete at sports,
video games,

Jake and me on deck.

*bleep*

Get your brother out there
and have him show you.

You throw it like this,
then you'll have more weight,

Throw 'em farther.

There it is.

At the time, I felt he was
doing it for kicks.

But I just realized now

'cause he just want us
to be the best.

Yeah, probably made you
and jake closer too.

Yeah. Yeah, probably did.

Look at that. That was flying.

He's way better than
both of you guys.

I'll never ever
live this down.

That's called whoop
your old man's--



I'll never hear the end
of it if I don't win this.

I'm not gonna let my
older brother win for once.

He wins at everything.

But this time,
he's on my ground.

Oh!

-No way.
-Oh, yeah.

Well, we're on, we're on.
Crank, crank, crack. Go!

Yeah, attaboy.

You might be
hooked up over there.

It's been over for you guys.

Hey, what's going
on over there.

Not anymore.

-Feels heavy though,
doesn't it?
-[shane] oh, he's fighting.

You can go to the gym,
doesn't help out
with this thing.

Oh, you would know.

-Clank!
-I'm clanking.

Fish on. Got it on.

That's it.

Coming up.
Pick it up. Pick it up.

We can't see belt
to pull this in.

'cause we definitely need it.

Two boats, two swordfish.

We pull these things in,

Tell you what, we're gonna be
halfway to 700-pound order.

There you go.

I'll do a reverse step
and give it to you.

What a *bleep*

You got this.

Hey, he's jumping up there.

It just came up.

Ooh, that's a nice one, boys.
About a 100-pounder.

Nice fish.

-Great fish.
-Most thing they do is run.

At least a 100.

Casey, I got that harpoon
behind you, too.

Wherever you can
stick it, casey.

Oh, he's going down again.

Oh *bleep*

Going in hard.

-Let me know, which way.
-[bill] he's going back.

Down, down, down.

Back up.

*bleep* right behind the boat.

-You got it for a second?
-Yeah, let me have it
for a second.

Turn the motors up.

-Turn 'em what?
-Turn 'em up.
Turn the motors up.

Side button.

On the throttle. Left hand.

Turn them on. Turn 'em up.

Put 'em down.

He's going in hard.

Right behind the boat.

Turn the motors up.

-Turn 'em what?
-Turn 'em up.

-Turn the motors up.
-Turn them on. Turn 'em up.

-Put 'em down.
-Got him down, yeah.

I can't see him.

-We're wrapped.
-Yeah, we're *bleep* wrapped.

*bleep*

Got the wheel.

*bleep*

[panting]

All I did was nick
that prop and it's gone.

Let's get another one, boys.

Enough for you.

[both laugh]

Yeah, nice job, shane.

Nice job, bro.

Oh, he's fighting.
He must be getting up there.

-They lost there's, heavy?
-Yeah.

*bleep* now we really need
to get one of those fish.

Our first server
here in louisiana
is due in three days.

And we owe 700-pounds
of swordfish.

So far, we've gotten zero.

Zero pounds.

I can't afford
to lose another one.

Keep rolling.

Oh!

Keep going.

Right here, keep going.

Smooth and steady.

*bleep*

This thing's *bleep*.
They're strong.

-You in?
-I'm not in. You're in.

You can't switch right now.
Now is when you lose it.

-Oh, you're kidding me.
-[heavy] no, I'm not kidding.

This is the battle
of the sword, baby.

Called the gladiator
of the sea for a reason.

[josh] it's coming back.

It's right there.

-Oh, yeah.
-[heavy] get the
harpoon ready.

*bleep*

Come on, take him.
Take him again.

No, you went over him.

Aim lower.

Stake him. Stake him.

Oh, end of the line.

I got him in the gap.

Look it, I got him.

-Woo!
-[josh] all right,
nice job, shane.

Whoa, we're at ten percent.

-[laughs]
-things are looking up.

-That's your first one?
-First one.

Go ahead. 120.

[casey] is that a bite?
Was that you?

Oh, that's a bite.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.

-Hooked up. Let's go.
-Yeah.

[ronald] keep your
a*s on the rod.

Now, look. This corn about to
scream which way he's going.

Then were going to
scream like that again.

Never let that bend
come out of that rod.

It's getting heavier.

[ronald] it's a little angry.
Huh, casey?

Man. Pull 'em hard.

[bill] come on, casey.

[water splashing]

There he is, boys.

Better.

Holy *bleep*

You don't like that thing
going into gear.

You don't like
the sound of it.

Go and put some motors.

Stay on it. Stay on it.

Oh, little more throttle.
Little more throttle.

Come on, get that in.

*bleep* yeah, boy!

[casey] ready? On three.
One, two, three.

Yeah, baby.

-Good fish, boys.
-[ronald exclaims]

Things are happening
faster than I can fish.

[casey] that's cool.
That's the first swordfish
I've seen in my life.

-[ronald] serious?
-Yeah!

-That's awesome.
-Money in the bank.

-[shane] bill's got one?
-Yeah, billy?

[all exclaiming]

[shane] it's fun to watch
people catch 'em too.

Whoo! Yeah.

*bleep*

You wanna get some more?

Let's go get another one.

[reel pulls in]

Switch.

You have to crank one in.
There you go.

Money in the bank.

Get him on board.

Going back, going back.
Go on back.

Go on back. Go on back.

Keep turning, keep turning.
Keep on it.

Hang in there.
Right there, boy.

[water splashing]

Good job.

Nice fish, boys.

Whoo. Nice fish, buddy.

Got another one.

I've been swordfishing
a bunch.

Never seen three drops,
three fish.

Never.

Hey, was I right about
this place or what?

Pretty badass, huh?


in one day.

Come on.

I don't like to admit,
but you might,

You might be on to
something with this place.

Duh! [chuckles]


I think we should
enter the barn.

Beers when we get back.
Celebrations.

-Yeah!
-Sounds good.

[josh] all right.

What's going on, matt?

You got some fish for me?

We had a great day
in the water today.

I think you'll be really happy
with the product.

Alligator gar?

All right, well, we'll,

We'll get on it then.

I'll figure this out.

All right, brother.
Talk to you soon.

All right, bye.

Alligator gar?

What the *bleep*
an alligator gar?

[casey] look at that thing.

That's an alligator gar.

[josh] what the hell is that?

-Come on.
-Look at the teeth
on that son of a b*tch.

[josh] the client adding
weight, I'm used to it.

But 200-pounds
of these things?

I'm pretty sure they don't
even qualify as fish.

[casey] this says it can gro
up to ten feet long.

Have razor sharp teeth
and crocodilian head.

Heavy armored body
with scales.

Where do you catch these?
In the swamp?

They're freshwater.
They're in the lake
that I live on.

[casey] what the heck.

[bill] this alligator gar.
It's a delicacy in the south

Make it into patties.
Serve with gravy.

It's big.

Looking at pictures,
it looks like dinosaurs to me.

So do king crab and we
make money selling them.

Fair enough.

They say they do
bow fishing with it.

It says here you
do it at night time.

Yeah, damn. I'm in.

Yeah, we need to do it
and we need ty do it fast

'cause time is
of the essence right now.

So--

We've been fishing
for 36 hours straight,

Another 12 ain't gonna hurt.

[both chuckle]

You know, at this point
what's 12 more.

[josh] we still have
300-pounds of swords

In the next two days.

So, I guess we have
to go crabbing hours.

[casey] think we can
get it done.

Right. That's what
I'm talking about.

Yeah, it's like
it's *bleep* here.

[josh] 200-pounds
of alligator gar,

That's the ask.

These things eat mostly bird
small mammals.

So, instead of a hook,
we're using a bow

And a stainless steel arrow.

I mean, what have we
gotten ourselves into?

Is this it?

[jorda] all right,
working our way back to this.

One pond.

[josh] yeah.

All right, we're gonna hug
this left hand side!

So, more than likely,

You'll be sh**ting
on that left.

Gator.

Oh, yeah.

[jorda] oh, he's friendly!

[casey] crazy how fast
they can swim.

-Needle fish.
-Yeah, see those.

Where do you want me
to find these things.

You'll notice.
We'll talk far over there,
you'll see a really big wave.

A lot of times that
will be a big gar,

Something that we're after.

[shane] just wanna see once,
so I can know how to spot it.

Looking for anything
that jiggles right now.

Looking for big movement
in the water.

Right there.
That's an alligator.

There's a little baby gator.

[casey] oh, my god!

Holy *bleep*

-Got a gator.
-Wow!

Crazy, huh?

[josh] yeah, it's soft.

You know you're on the bayou,
when you just randomly,
catch gators.

He's like,
"that's right, *bleep*"

All right,
keep an eye out in here.

We're getting good right here.

[josh] is that a gar
right there?

[casey] right there,
right there. Big one.

-[water splashing]
-oh, come on! *bleep*

Where did he go?

This is what we need, josh.

Here he is.

Right side.

I see him. Aim low, aim low.

[josh] oh, he's off here.

[heavy] oh, little high,
little high.

*bleep* damn it!

He was right there.

It's difficult to sh**t
these damn things.

They're under water.

The refraction changes
where they actually are.

Gotta get something here.

Come to find out, I wasn't
a bow hunter in my past life.

[josh] I know enough to kno
when I'm being tested.

If I read about this
change from, matt,

It's partly for
the order of the gar

But also see we
have this curveball.

Feels like any second
we're gonna find these things.

It's so much light.

[jorda] pick out the right,
pick out the right,
pick out the right.

Right there. *bleep*

-Get him?
-No.

[casey] that was a real one.

Oh, mama's in here somewhere.

[shane] yeah, she is.
Where is she?

Big gar took off to the front.

Oh!

Oh, I missed him.

-This thing's underneath.
-[bill] yeah!

[shane] there you go, bill.

Good hit. Good job, bill.

[bill]

[shane] these are real
small ones.

I can't wait
to find me a big one.

I'm gonna hit that thing.

[casey] there's one.

Oh, got one.

[heavy] yeah, they all look--

-[bill] all right.
-[heavy] but hey,
it's good eating.

Beautiful, let's get
another one.

[shane] good job, bill.

[arrow shoots]

[shane chuckles]

-There's one.
-Yes, yes, yes!

[all exclaiming]

Got it, baby.

Good looking gar right there.

We're catching gar.

But at this rate, this size,

We're gonna be
out here all night.

Here, fishy, fishy,
fishy, fishy.

Something moving up here.

Is that a big wave?
Over there, look, look.

[bill] oh, there's a big one.
We just went on top of him.

Oh, there's one right there.

[shane] yes, sir!

-[josh] I got him.
-[shane] he got him.

Hold on, hold on, hold on.

[josh] that's a big *bleep*

Yeah! *bleep* yeah!

Excellent, baby.

All right, now,
watch y'all feet.

Wow!

[exclaims]

[shane] look at that.
Nice shot, josh!

Yeah, buddy!

-Yeah, baby. Come on!
-Yeah!

Let's put order in, huh?

Nice shot, man!

[josh] best guess, probably
still around 50-pounds short

Everyone's pretty fried
and we got a full day out

On the water tomorrow.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Big monster.
Oh, he's in the spear I think.

-Did I get him?
-I think we did.

[josh] oh, I got him.

I got him.

[exclaims]

Get ready to go down there.

*bleep*

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Big monster.

Oh, he's in the spear I think.

-Did I get him?
-I think we did.

[josh] oh, I got him.

I got him. [exclaims]

Get ready to go down there.

[indistinct chatter]

*bleep*

-If you see him, aim low,
get another arrow.
-All right.

We don't wanna lose him.
This one's a big one.

Get ready, bill.

Get it on the boat.

-Catch him.
-Go to the side.

[jorda] I've been trying
to put him on the left side.

sh**t him on the left side
or he'll outrun the boat.

*bleep*

Get him.

I got another one in him.

Don't pull no tension on him.

Looks like a pretty good
fish to me.

[exclaims]

Yeah, look at the size
of that monster.

[josh exclaims]

That's what we're after.

-*bleep*
-bill. [chuckles]

-[jorda] that is the name.
-[shane] oh, yes!

That is a good gar, man.

Yeah, look at those teeth.

-Yeah.
-[bill] where did it
get its name, huh?

[chuckles] good shot, buddy.
Put him in the box.

It's a good sign.
Can't fit him in the box.

We'll call that one a wrap.

-Think we're good?
-Yeah, that's it. Nice job.

All right,
let's head it for the barn.

Between what we got,

And what shane and bill got,
we got the 200-pounds.

I don't mean to brag,

But I'm pretty sure
I shot the biggest one.

[bill] how did it go
for you guys?

That was a blast, man.
What did you guys get?

I don't know,
we got one big one.

And couple of small ones.

Like, four, five small ones.

Take a look. We got one
pretty good size in here.

Oh *bleep*

[all exclaiming]

Look at the chompers
on that head.

You were saying something?
Something, uh,

-Found something bigger?
-I don't wanna talk
about it anymore.

[casey] I'm sure that
hairs hook works.

Yeah, it works. I mean,
look, it's working for him
just fine.

A crazy day.

All right, man. Good job.

We got a long day tomorrow.

Hour 23. No sleep.

And now, we gotta get
the rest of the swordfish.

It's gonna be a long day.

All right. Boys, let's get
this wrapped up

And get it butchered.

-Then we go to o'brien.
-[shane] all right.

[heavy] worked till
eight o'clock.

[yawning]

[indistinct conversation]

All right, here we go.

[casey] go get 'em.

We're back.

[josh] let's do it, brother

We got the alligator gar
matt asked for,

But we're coming on the wire
for that 300 pounds
of swordfish.

[heavy] all righty.

[josh] so, today it's up to
our new man, captain ron.

He's got us spotting ledge
about 40 miles west of venice.

It's supposed to be
really hot fishing.

I think you'll like
what I'm seeing.

Something might be
a little shallow.



[casey] it was a long night,

But now it's time
to get these swordfish.

Last item on the order.

We get these turned in

And hopefully we have
a happy customer.

-Let's get it.
-All right.

[heavy] all right, boys.
We're back down. Here we go.

Ding, ding, ding. Round two.

Love it. Lots of action, boys.

[ronald] swordfish like
whatever's in front

Of their face
that they can eat.

You just see a little tap.

Anything--

It gets a little rhythm
right here,

When you see
something different,

Then that's usually
about that.

You're pretty much catfishing

A lot deeper.

-And a bigger cat.
-Yeah, and a bigger cat.

[casey] good job.

-Fish on.
-We're on.

We got a big one.

It's a nice fish,
swam great down pretty good.

And after late night,

Fishing them gar,

This ain't hurting
my feelings.

I'm fast fishing today,
I tell you that.

Cramp!

Oh, look at that. There's
hardly anything on that spool.

I don't know, worked already,
the specter, it's thin.

Right there.

[chuckles]

Just 'cause the car's
a little older,

It doesn't mean it still
don't run, right?

[chuckles]

It still got some power.

[bill] 500 horsepower, baby.
[chuckles]

[casey] all right.

Hold that rod.

*bleep*

Here it comes.

It's a good size fish though.
Holy *bleep*. Big fish.

[casey] here it goes.
It's gonna jump.

Oh, yeah, boy!

[casey] taking a little iron.

[bill] going under.
Going under.

Harder, harder, harder.

Hey.

Big fish, big energy.

Fish coming up to your right.

I see him down there.

Oh *bleep*. We got a foul.

We're gonna have
to wire *bleep* it in.

[casey] yeah,
*bleep* that's not good.

Looks like, a little light,

But it's tied up
in the line somehow.

[casey] okay, we're okay.

*bleep* it's in the water.

[ronald] yeah, boy!

Got him! Whoo! Nice one.

Yeah, baby!
Another one bites the dust.

[bill] one, two, three.

-Yeah, baby!
-Coming for us. Coming for us.

-[ronald] another
keeper, boys.
-[casey] think, she's in.

Nice job.

-[ronald] yeah!
-[casey] whoo!

Hey, I'm working
one right here,

If you wanna look at it. Look.

-[josh] a sword right there.
-[heavy] right there, buddy.
Almost down there.

[shane] that looks
like a monster.

[heavy] whoa, whoa, hey.

[man] hold it out.

Get on him, josh.
Josh, you set the hook.

[shane] oh, yeah.
Get her ready.

-Real back there, huh?
-[josh] yeah.

Should we come back a round.

Play more cat and mouse.

Oh, we got about
100 pounds left.

But you always
wanna overdeliver.

Especially on the first order.

Come on, bat it again.

[josh] that's where it is.
It's gotta hold the line.

You know what, frankly,

Everybody's got a sword
except for me.

That's not happening.

Oh, yeah. Get ready.

He's playing with it. Oh!

-Crank it, josh,
-is it?

Crank.

Oh, he's on it, josh.

Oh *bleep* yeah, he is.

[heavy] crank, crank,
crank, crank.

[josh] all right,
here we go again.

[shane] are you
ready for this?

Lot of action in round two.

We're back in the game, babe.

Oh, he's pissed.

[jorda] keep an eye out
back here.

Get in for some.

[casey] there's an
expression that goes,

"you can take your crabber
out of the bering sea--

You can't take the bering sea
out of the crabber?"

[casey] there's one.

[josh] what'd you get?

[exclaims]

I got a crab. [chuckles]

[jorda] yes!

Well, no matter where I am,
I guess my forte
is still crab.

[josh] you're gonna
eat that thing?

No, I'm gonna hang on to it.

Might need it for the next
time I let you set the bars.

Oh. Oh. We got jokes.

-Do we? We got jokes.
-[casey laughs]

[all exclaiming]

[casey] yeah, buddy.
Yeah, baby.

Hell, yeah!

[heavy] oh, he's on it, josh.

*bleep* yeah, he is.

[heavy] crank, crank,
crank, crank.

-All right!
-[josh] here we go again.

[shane] are you
ready for this?

Lot of action in round two.

We're back in the game, babe.

Oh, he's pissed.

[shane] welcome to red now.

He's getting up there.

Oh, it is.

Bro. [chuckles nervously]

-Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
Now you're feeling it, huh?
-[bleeps]

[shane] turn that handle.

That merlin's real hurt.

[panting]

They're some of the strongest
species, that's for sure.

*bleep*

[shane] you must miss your
fight with an 180 pound tuna.

[josh chuckles]

-[shane] is he pulling?
-[josh] oh, yeah. *bleep*

Now you can do run in.
When you feel it running
like that just rest.

'cause that's when you
burn yourself out.

-[josh] yes, sir.
-[heavy] you get time to rest.

This is the battle
of the sword.

You think he's right there
and then he might go down


in the next round.

You gotta hang on.

Oh, yeah.

Ooh, that nose came up.

All right, we're on color.

It's getting even closer.

I tell you what, this can
finish up the order
right here, brother.

[shane] it's been a long day,
man. We need to get this home.

[josh] oh, there he is.

There he is.
Yeah, he splashed.

Good job.
You got him on surface.

How's it going
over there, buddy.

We got a good size one on.

[heavy] you did good
*bleep* right here.

It is good as it gets.

[shane] epic heavy. Epic.

[josh] get the harpoon ready.

You wanna step in?

All right, bro. Here we go.

[casey] josh, you know
how to use that thing?

-We're gonna find out.
-[casey laughs]

[shane] I'm gonna
run it right by you.

-Get it?
-[heavy] yeah, yeah.

[continues indistinctly] go!

Stake him!

-Stake him!
-Go!

-Whoo! My man.
-[josh] there we go.

Bam, bam bam! Pow, pow, pow!

One, two, three.

My man!

*bleep* we have it.
There we go, josh.

Yeah!

Gets me every time. Beautiful.

Good job, boys.

[josh] what did I tell you
about this place, man.

What do say we head
into the dock.

Let's do it, brother.

-See you guys in there.
-Good work, you guys.

[josh] ring mister matt.

We've got order fulfilled.

-Thanks, man.
-I was--

I was worried we weren't
gonna pull that off.

[heavy] see right here, man.

Look. You see
this trench in here,

You can definitely see it in
the sounders if you look back

Where we got
both of our bites.

It was right here
in this hole.

Everybody that catches
one in this boat,

For that first one, he gets
to name their own hole.

As you can see, I have one
for my daughter, scarlet hole.

I got a crazy lady hole.

A wire hole. A fire hood hole.

I think everybody can do one.

Our first order in
the gulf of mexico

Is now on the books.

We got it right here.

There's only one name
going on that chart.

There it is.

[shane] I like that.

That looks good on there.

[josh] I'm gonna
sleep good tonight.

It's been pretty cool watching
josh chasing up phil's dreams.

And I'm having a great time.
I'm a little worn out.

We worked hard last night.

This is one for the books
and I'm glad
I was a part of it.

What do you think, casey?

[casey] think we got
the volume,

Think we got the quality.

I think this will be a good
expansion for us.

Might be on to something here.

All right, shane, you ready to
pull this *bleep* thing up?

-[shane] yeah, let's.
-All right.

All right.

See how much this thing
weighs. What do you think?

I'm 118.

All right, I'll go 120.

-[shane] 120?
-120.

We have a gentlemen's bet.
50 bucks.

[shane] all right.

[josh] how're you
doing today, sir?

All right, sir. Yours is 118.

All I gotta do is beat that.

Not gonna happen.

All right. Let's see
what else we got here.

Survey says--

[both exclaiming]

All right. All right.

Winner winner chicken dinner.

-121. Fifty bucks
in the pocket.
-Oh! Come on!

-[bleeps]
-oh! Three pounds off.

Ta-da. Who's the man?

-Who's the man?
-But I did get the bigger gar.

-Okay.
-I did get the bigger gar.

We weren't betting
on the gar, pal.

[shane] let's get this
thing to the store.

Amazing day today.

Great day, baby. Great day.

It's incredible. I mean,
the fishing down here is hot.

Lot of work. Lot of hours.

But if you can
turn it into money,

It's all that matters.

I really appreciate you guys
bringing me down and

It's pretty cool you're
looking out for what your dad

Was trying to do, man.

You're not leaving us,
are you?

It's kinda time to go, man.

[josh] hey, listen, I reall
can't thank you enough

For everything you've done.

Appreciate that so much.

I tell you what, if you
need me, just give me a call.

I'll be happy to
give you a hand.

-For real?
-Hell, no.

[chuckles]

Well, one thing before
we go as tradition,

Since y'all caught
your first sword,

We're gonna take the eyeball

I'll clean that real good,

And then we're all gonna
toast a shot of tequila.

[shane] we're drinking
out of these eyeballs?

Absolutely.

It makes the perfect
shot glass. I'll show you.

Man, you guys and traditions.

[heavy] welcome to venice.
Welcome to first swordfish.

-Here's to expansion, huh?
-Pull up you guys,
you're on your way.

[retches]

[heavy] all right.

Thank you, guys.

-We appreciate you.
-We appreciate you, man.

-You're awesome.
-Thank you very much.

Love you a lot more
than I love that shot.

[heavy chuckles]

Come on, we got it now!

[heavy exclaims]

[bill chuckles]

[shane] we get to need to
get some ear muffs, dude.

[bill] good luck, you guys.

[heavy] all right, buddy.2
