[bunniefuu]

[casey] all right,
heard of buckshave?

[cue strikes]

I want you to to see this.

- [casey] it says...
- [josh] it could be
a hurricane.

Near cuba?

A bunch of the louisiana
and mississippi gulf coasts

Is bracing for what could b

A major hurricane
this weekend.

Tropical storm ida is movin
toward the gulf of mexico

And is expected to make
landfall on a Sunday.

[casey] that's coming
right at us.

[josh] we got 5,000
pounds of fish

To deliver between our

Hawaiian and
louisiana clients.

And now, here comes
hurricane ida.

[casey] the real question is,
"when is it gonna hit land?"

Thick estimate,
four-five days.

You've ever seen
pictures of katrina?

I don't wanna
be here for that.

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] kind of our sweethear

You can't get any
better than me.

I'm just a smiling
♪bleep♪ jack.

[josh] I know my old man
would be proud

To see his dream
turn into thriving business

In the gulf and hawaii.

Let's plough 'em out.

[man] you've a lot
on the line here.

[josh] ...With his best frie
lending a hand.

So glad I did not ♪bleep♪ up.

[josh] but the most importan
lesson he taught me...

[woman] we do have
a major storm

Heading our way.

[josh] "you take care of tho
who take care of you."

[casey] anybody up there?

[josh] so, everything's gone.

Four or five days?
What do we have left
to catch for o'brian?

We got pelagics.

We got in-shore fish catch,

Speckled trout,

Red fish.

[josh] we know
the storm is serious.

But we still have


And sword fish.

And 500 of these
in-shore species.

[casey] those terms,
they're huge!

If you're off-shore and
you're caught in it ♪bleep♪

Lights out.

We know off-shore's
off the picture, right?

If you're in-shore,
you're close enough

Where you can scoop back.

Then we come in-shore

And we do in-shore day,

We could probably get two days
of fishing out of this

And try to wrap the order.

[casey] red fish,
bass and trout

Are all near land
in 30 ft of water or less.

If we knock those out,

It's our best bet
to keep working

Until we see which way
ida turns.

All I'm saying is,
let's be prepared.

Yeah, I was talking to ron.

I mean, he does
a lot of in-shore fishing.

So, we could talk to him.

All right, let's do it.

[ronald] we're gonna hit
these back waters.

We're gonna cut
across the little bay.

[josh] in-shore fishing
in shallow waters,

You have that small
flap under boats.

Cameron runs a lot of
red fish sharks.

So, he's taking the lead
on guiding us to spots
in the delta.

[man] all right, ron.
This is the spot.

Yes, sir. Baby,
that's where we're starting.

Yeah.

You should cast that thing out
and pop this while you can.

[ronald] drift around, baby.
Till you find 'em.

[ronald] so, we pop this cor

It makes it sound like

A fish feeding
or something like that.

Whatever it is,
the fish think it is,

They wanna come check it out

It attracts them.

They hit a cork,
they see the bait on it.

Boom. They smoke it.
You got 'em.

[josh] do I need
more of a bobber?

[shane] yeah,
the bobber would help.

[josh] cast her on out?

Uh-huh.

[josh] oh, cameron, my bad.

Teach me how to bait a hook.

The first time I felt
so bad for the worms,

Then he just told me
about the circle of life.

Had a hard time
buying into that

Till I caught my first fish.

And it was on from there...

...For the rest of my life...

...Catching some sort of
creature in the sea.

My old man taught us

How to fish
on the lake of washington.

Those are some
of my best memories.

Whenever I'm stressed
or my back skins the wall..

You can still hear his voice

- Well, I'm happy with
getting to see you, pops.
- You know...

I'm glad to be
here too, buddy.

- Love ya.
- Big time.

You know, you guys might be
doing this without me.

And you both have been
taught long enough.

You know?

Think you guys should be
able to shine.

[josh] I see enough
fish right there.

[man] oh, there you go.

And then, you gonna
pop, pop, pop.

Set the hook,
wait for the bet.

Josh, I bet I catch
a bigger fish than you today.

[josh] I'll take
that bet, bad boy.

[chuckles]

Oh, there we go.
I'm hooked up.

[man] got 'em all!

[josh] good show!

- Yeah.
- You had a baby?

[josh] we gotta
pretty good flyer here.

Oh, boy! It's pissed,
and it's coming up.

Gotta play with
this little puppy.

We got a live one here, folks.

- Oh, baby!
- Whoa!

[josh] yeah! We pulled
a red fish today!

Dude, that's a big red fish.

[ronald] all right.
Let's see if we can get some
more in the water, josh.

- Way to go.
- [josh] oh...

Hey, casey!

[ronald] fish on-board!

[casey] look at this, josh!

Check this one out.

Oh, yeah, boys! How...

Ow! Yee-haw!

That's a real fish
right there, boys.

[josh] oh...

Oh, yeah. We're on.

- [ronald] we're on.
- Yeah.

Fish on!

[ronald] oh, crank,
crank, crank. Might be able
to feel that. Haul her!

It's a screamer!

[josh] oh...

[ronald] all right. Whoo!

[josh] yeah!

Oh, yeah, boys!
Hey, look over here!

- Ow!
- Daddy's back.

- [ronald] monsters...
- [josh] whoo!

[ronald] nice work.

We're getting some big a*s
red fish right now.

I've never done this before.

I'm learning
all sorts of stuff, but...

This will get our
order filled real quick.

Hey, think if it's
hot in hawaii?

[jeff] I've got a really
good opportunity

With one of the biggest
restaurants out here
kona brew company.

And these guys gave us a shot.

You know, so, this is
the opportunity of a lifetime.

Kona brew gave us
a test order...

4,000 pounds

For ahi, mahi and martin.

And with josh and casey
still down on the gulf...

I called in a ringer.

[jeff] what's happening, joh

Well, are we in trouble, we...

- Never.
- Need to call me? [chuckles]

- I really appreciate you
coming on-line.
- [john] paradise.

Paradise, my friend.

John hillstrand
is a partner of sorts...

As much as a pirate
can be a partner.

I'm coming to you
for help again.

I don't have a lot of money
but I'll buy a boat with you

[jeff] and he proved that
he can handle an alaskan.

[all cheering]

[jeff] and hawaiian waters.

[john] wow! We got a whale.

There's nobody else
I'd rather have on my boat

To help me get this done.

- Ready?
- [john] I'm ready.

[grunts]

All right, man.
So, let me show you
what I got.

Where all this is right here,

That's kind of, you know,

Where we've been
normally fishing.

But, so is everybody else.

It's really crowded.

So, I think we're have to
gonna go further.

And try to get on
the outskirts of everybody.

And I'm ready.

What's in the kona brew order?

So, they're really focused on
ahi, mahi.

That's pretty much
what they're looking for.

If we can get on
these bird piles,

I heard that there's
some big yellows in 'em.

That's on my bucket list,
my friend.

- You never caught
a big yellow, yet?
- No.

- Never.
- We do hook a big yellow...

I get it. We're gaffing 'em.

[jeff] pressure right back on.
I'm excited.

Hey, man. Get the boat
on the water, we head out.

- Let's go man. Burn daylight.
- All right.

[john] it's a jumper.
What the ♪bleep♪ was that?

Right there!

- Oh, yeah. Porpoise.
- Oh, porpoise.

- [jeff] yeah.
- Huh!

We're in the area of salt.

They're looking like we are.

[john] I've seen
a few things out here.

The time I was
looking back there,

I saw this big nose
coming out of the water.

Like ♪bleep♪ big marlin.

Huge!

But no one believe ya.
No one believes me.

I saw a whale throw up once.

[jeff] big bird cloud.
This is what we need.

Lot of times, the ahis,

- They'll feed with the birds.
- Yeah.

We're kinda trolling here,
it's a little rough.

But at least we got something
right out of the heat,

- You know.
- That's nice.

[jeff] marking fish.

- We got five fish
on the screen right here.
- Woo-hoo!

Oh, right there. We're on.

[john] yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah. Whoo!

Whoo!

[john] ha-ha. Good job.

Hell ya.

- My brother, my brother.
- Okay.

[jeff] okay, so, probably
gonna take maybe both of us.

It's rough, so I'm gonna
try to control the boat.

- [john] okay.
- You've done this.

- You've been in the position
with me before.
- [john] yeah, yeah.

[jeff] just watch that tip.
Just creep in nice
and slow, you know?

Got 'em, man.

Gonna bump it up
just a little bit.

[jeff] he runs like that,
that's okay. That's good.

Jump!

That's a big fish.

This guy has been
wearing me out.

I'm hoping I'm wearing him
out at the same time.

Yo, baby. Oh, yeah.

[jeff] but, his head's
down, buddy.

I'm gonna throw in this guy
and get some line back.

Okay, so, let's switch,

So, you stay over here
on the throttles.

I tell you to hit them,
you can get there
and pump this.

I want you to bump the start-
run motor in backwards...

- [john] backwards.
- ...This one time.

[jeff] right?

Hey, go ahead.
Bump in and reverse.

[john] I got a reverse.

- Hey, straighten out.
- [john] burn him out.

Yeah. He's definitely
playing like he's smart.

You know what I mean,
he's swimming all over it.

Definitely seems like
this fish has seen a boat.

Take your hands
off the control,
put it in neutral.

Put it over here.
Over here by you.

Yeah, you're gonna take...
You're gonna take the big gap.

Okay, you gotta try
hit him in the back.

Put the gaff on the gunnel.

See how that one is?
Don't let 'em see the gaff.

[john] okay.

- I wanna go right behind
his head...
- Yeah.

- [john] behind his head.
- Try getting anywhere
in the gill plate.

- [john] I can see him
- down here.
-A big ♪bleep♪

[jeff] it's a big one.
It looks about 150-160.

- Holy ♪bleep♪
- [jeff] it's a big fish.

Oh ♪bleep♪ they hit
the boat leg, they're done.

No, no, wait there.
Wait, wait...

Wait, wait, wait...!

Okay, you're gonna
take the big gap...

Okay, you gotta try
hit him in the back.

- [jeff] wait, wait, wait...
- [john] I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

[jeff] wait, wait, wait...!

We're only gonna get
one more shot at this ♪bleep♪

Tryin' to help jeff
fill this order for kona brew.

And I'm looking at the biggest
tuna that I've ever seen

In my whole life.

[john] wow. What a fish.

He wants me to gaff it.

I don't wanna be the guy
who ends up losing this fish.

[jeff] right there.

[jeff] yeah.
♪bleep♪ he'll shine.

[john grunts]

- [thuds]
- [john] well,
that's a big fish.

- Done. That was epic.
- Whoo!

[jeff] johnny, I think
this guy's about 160.

That's the biggest tuna
I've ever caught, I tell ya.

By far.

This is so beautiful.

- This is amazing.
- [jeff] you can
eat your heart.

- We're on our way.
- Yep.

- God bless.
- Mahalo ke akua
for this beautiful fish.

[jeff] thanks for having
brother john here with me.

And it got him his first
blue hawaiian tuna.

Thank you for all the people

This is gonna
feed and support.

Mahalo ke akua.

- Good job.
- That was so... ♪bleep♪

Thank god.

[john] hey, man.
Still beating.

That's your half.

Wow! [chuckles]

Come on.

Ugh...

So, that's pretty
damn good, dude.

- There's your bait,
right there.
- Wow.

Whoo! Got a bait back!

[casey] okay.
We haven't sold anything yet

So, we didn't technically
break the law.

But, we were about to,
we just didn't know it.

All right. Well, thank you
for calling me back.
I appreciate it.

All right. Bye.

All right. Yup.

[josh] it'll be
fun tomorrow, huh?

- All right. Yup.
- Hey!

- Right, cool man.
- Well, this concerns you too.

Well, all right.
We'll talk to you in a bit.

Thanks, bye.

- What's up?
- We have a problem.

- What?
- All that red fish we caught?

We can't sell it in louisiana.

- What do you mean
we can't sell?
- 'cause we fish in louisiana.

It's only legal to sell it
if we left out of mississippi.

They have a quarter system
over there.

But it's an open quarter,
like earl derby days.

We left at louisiana.

There's no commercial
quarter for it here.

Basically, we caught dinner.
That's it.

[josh] well, back to
square one.

We still need 500 pounds
of in-shore fish.

That storm has not
changed track.

It's just another day closer.

We got just
a couple of days left.

We need to get this done.
Or else...

Our goose is cooked.

So, let's get done
what we need to get done.

Still got flounder, trout...

And sheephead.

Flounder, trout and sheephead.

What do we got for that?

We may go to chandeleur?

Where's chandeleur at?

It's 51 miles
as a bird's eye flies.

I don't know. Little boats,
long drive, man.

[chris] you always gotta watch
for weather, you know.

Especially out a storm
like you see
brewing right now.

Well, we got
any other options? Ron?

[ronald] man, I never
had to go that far.

I've fished at islands
closer to this. But...

Bering sea fish may go deeper.

- Just remember that.
- Are you scared?

- We're gonna go deep.
- [chuckles]

We just gotta make sure
this order gets fulfilled.

Let's try to get this done
before this storm kicks off.

The chandeleur islands
are supposed to legendary
for trout and flounder.

But if that storm turns north
like it's forecasted,

It's gonna put a smackdown
right in the center
of the bull's eye.

- [jorda] how we doing?
- What up, jorda?

- Oh, man!
- What's up, my man.

- It's good to see you.
- It's so good to see you.

- Hey, jorda.
- Great to see you.

[josh] we met jorda
we few weeks back.

I need alligator gar

And he's kind of
an in-shore specialist.

[jorda] this is
chandeleur islands right her

We got some
really shallow water.

We gotta try to cut around

Into one of these cuts.

It's called
"daddy's playground" up here.

We gotta probably fish this
most of the day.

You have water feeding
through the whole cut.

Just bait moving,
left and right,
left and right.

Saw a fish around here.

They're known for
some big, big trout.

The playground's gonna be
good today for sure.

[josh] give her a toss, buddy.

All right.

Let's get our
poles in the water.

- Let's go, boys.
- Go boys.

Let's plough 'em out.

Let's get this order done.

You need shrimp?

[man] all right, do we
need a shrimp?

Thank you, josh.

[josh] apparently,
speckled trout like shrimp.

All right, buddy.

We need you to get out there

And be all the shrimp
you can be.

You oughta show me
how it's done, buddy.

All right. Now, we're fishing.

-[jorda] we baiting up?
You ready?
- [man] yeah.

How do we do this?

Got shrimp right here.

You wanna take... You got
the head of shrimp right here.

You got dark spot

Right up underneath
their little spine.

You wanna take your hook.

Don't hit that brain now,

'cause he won't be flapping
that good. You wanna go
right in front of that.

Up underneath the spine

To where hook's good,
it holds.

She slept.

All right, now we're gonna try
to keep that line tight

And just pop it
as much as you can.

Good... Good pop down.

- There it is.
- Not too much.

[casey] but it don't matter
what the weather's doing.

You gotta try to complete
the order.

I mean, we're not here
to quit, right?

[josh] I think I saw a trout.

Something jumped
right next to the boat.

It might've been a trout.

Hey, guys...

- Guess you're not good.
- What?

Here it is.

It just updated itself.

Did it?

Right here is a low,
by jamaica.

And as you can see as it goes.

And it's gonna come
straight in the gulf.

And this is telling me...

Um, it's gonna be a gust
of 132 miles an hour.

[josh] holy ♪bleep♪

He's moving west
and northwest and...

And right now it's predicted
to make landfall...

A little bit south
of franklin,

In between franklin and homer

Which is catastrophic.

[josh] oh, man.

Gentlemen...

The hurricane is coming.

[josh] gentlemen,
the hurricane is coming.

Before we land one
single trout for this order

Hurricane ida
just changed everything.

Hear that, shane?

It just updated.
That ♪bleep♪ hurricane's
supposed to be

♪bleep♪ gusts


It'd be catastrophic.

As soon as I've stormed
at the nine degree waters
in the gulf...

It turned into a monster.

And it's coming right for us.

[man] sounds like, we don't
wanna be out here for that.

Hey, fyi, that hurricane

Gonna have a 132
mile an hour gust.

And it's going in between
homer and franklin.

[casey] where's it heading?

It is gonna make a landfall
of probably...

Late Sunday night,
early morning.

All right.
Let's get outta here.

[josh] it's supposed to be
blowing at a 140 soon.

And back to the barn we go.

Feel like a dream
is being crushed.

Mother nature takes
a dump on us again.

Isn't this ♪bleep♪ crazy?

♪bleep♪ yeah.

- Always something, huh?
- Always something.

It's never a dull moment
down here.

No. Not when you got
a storm coming.

[casey] hurricane comes in,
gets his boat,

We're all in bunch of...
In a whole new world...

♪bleep♪

[chris] this packing a 100-130
mile an hour of wind.

Good luck.

[josh] what are you
thinking, heavy?

We have to regroup
whenever the storm passes,
you know?

[josh] well, we can't work
in a hurricane, so...

Right now, we are...
We're on the boat side.

We've got our order due

In a couple of days.

But I don't know what's up.

What the procedure's
gonna be or...

How this is all gonna
pan out, but...

We need catching a trout.

So, matt o'brian
is not gonna be happy.

I don't know if this'll rui
is the name of this town
or what.

But the order are fulfilled

Right at time
'cause of mother nature.

We do have a major storm
heading our way.

We're activating
every single resource

At our disposal...

So that we are prepared
to respond.

At this time, I will be
and I'm calling for

Mandatory evacuation
of all work areas

Outside of our
levee protection system.

Yeah, they might close
that levee any minute.

We have to get out of here

Or we won't be able to leave.

[casey] the only road
out of town

Goes through a levee.

Well, if the water level
gets too high,

They're gonna shut
that levee door.

And we're stuck here
at ground zero.

All right, man.
Let's get outta here.

[josh] how crazy is this.

We feel like our
hopes and dreams

Of what we tried to start
just got ♪bleep♪ crushed.

Holy ♪bleep♪
this water's deep.

The rains already starting.

[josh] there might not be mu
left by the time we come bac

[cell phone ringing]

Well, it's josh.

Hey, man. How's it
going up there?

[josh] this hurricane is a l
bigger than we anticipated.

We've been evacuated out
to pattisburgh.

Yeah, that's kind of,
like the evacuation point.

The closest place we can
get to, so...

-[jeff] okay.
- [josh] it's gonna go
- as well as planned.

[john] we're seeing it
on the news, man.

It's no joke.

Yeah, it doesn't
look good, man.

[josh] yeah, I don't think
we'll be able to fish
anytime soon, down here.

Did you guys get you
orders pulled off in time?

[josh] not even close.

Well, then to fish
another day.

I feel so bad for everybody

Down in louisiana
for venice, man. That's...

Ah, that's such a bummer.
Right, well...

Yeah, just keep in touch.
Let us know
how you guys are doing.

- [josh] okay, yeah.
- All right. You guys be safe.

- [josh] all right.
Later, brother.
-All right.

Hopefully, I can stay
in front of it, but...

For us, man, sounds like
we got more work to do.

This is it.
Let's raise some hell.

All right, man. Let's go.

Oh... ♪bleep♪

There's a fish right there.
Get him.

- Gotta get him?
- Yo.

Yeah, babe. Let's get him.

Chuff, chuff, chuff...

[jeff] got him.
Got him. We're on.

- [whirring]
- nice, nice.

Big fish. Big fish.

[whirring]

[john] you fish finding
son of a g*n.

But you know what?

I don't like the way
this guy's acting so...

I'm gonna turn the motor off.

I'm gonna have you
crank him up.

Just stay calm. Okay?

Listen, just grab and pull.

-Grab and pull.
Just like that.
-Yeah.

- [john] got you.
- Grab and pull.

[jeff] keep the line tight.
[grunts softly]

-Just bring him in.
Nice and slow.
-Nice and slow.

[jeff] keep the tip up,
the line tight.

He's doing good.
We got color.

Yeah. Looks like
about a 100 pounder.

[john] wow! [blee]

Well, there's a shark!
Shark, dude!

- Yeah?
- There's a shark right there.

I swear to god, I saw a shark.

- [jeff] oh, yeah, on your
right. It's right there.
- Okay. Okay.

- That's a shark. Get her.
- [john] I got her.

Right, we gotta get it in.

-All the way round.
-[jeff] stop right there.
Get off the reel.

Okay, come behind me.
You gotta pick up...

Pick up one of the gaps.

[jeff] you have a lot
on the line, here.

We're... This isn't something
we're gonna get
another take at, okay?

- [grunts]
- hang on... ♪bleep♪

I've barely got him.

Thank you, sir. Nice.

Thank you, sir.

- Nice.
- Okay.

Wow. Amazing.

Probably bought us
a 70 pounder.

- Nice work.
- Good job, buddy.

- Good job, buddy.
- You saw him.

[john] there's your buddy.
He's still here.

- [john chuckles]
- ♪bleep♪ he's right here.

Get in in! [chuckles]

Oh, dude.
You... Not today, buddy.

- [jeff] oh...
- Not today.

- [john] yeah...
- Look, he's right here.

[john] beautiful.

[jeff] wow.

Thanks for giving us that one.

These big orders like this...
It's a lot of pressure on 'em.

You know how you eat
a big pig by yourself?

One small bite at a time.

[jeff] get me down there.

[john] things are starting
to work out for us.

[man] our main
story tonight...

Hurricane ida may land
on southern louisiana

Battering the south-eastern
gulf with a deluge of water

An dangerous wind.

Ida is slamming louisiana

With triple digit winds
and torrential rains.

It struck exactly
16 years to the day

Of hurricane katrina.

Venice is gonna take that
really hard on their edge.

[man] there've been
multiple calls of rescue.

And the fear is
some coastal communities

Could be wiped out.

I think it's a damn good thing
we got out of venice.

[casey] I'm gonna call ronal
and see if he made it out.

- [phone line ringing]
- [sighs in exasperation]

Venice took a hard hit
from hurricane ida.

[indistinct voice
on pa system]

[josh] there's not
much of a chance

Of us getting back to go fis

But right now,
our bigger concern

Is the people that can be
trapped down there.

What's the word?
You make it home?

[casey] you talk to ronald?

- All right brother...
- [indistinct chatter]

- Praying for you.
- Good luck, brother.

Bye.

[casey] there's only one wa
to know for sure

If we're gonna be able
to keep our business going.

We gonna get back to venice

And see if it hurts us.

Uh, there's a gps in there
that's already going.

- Okay.
- We got the sat phone.

- All right.
- All right, guys.

[casey] and if there's
anything you'd do

To help the people
who helped us...

We're gonna do it.

[jeff] we're up here
and these birds...

See 'em up in the birds, john?

- [john] uh-huh.
- It's really good, man.

- Any time we see
this birds, man.
- [john] yeah.

That's what we want, you know.

- Those are your
shearwater buddies?
- Yeah, it's your waters.

That's where we wanna be,
right there.

The birds are right on us.
That's good.
We're on a good spot.

[jeff] the last
couple of days,

We've been catching ahi

And bird piles running
the thousand fathom line.

It's far enough away
from the buoys.

We've been staying away
from the crowds.

But we still have almost
3500 pounds

Of fish to catch
for kona brew.

And we're running out of tim

You gotta go catch
a million pounds of crab.

What do you tell your guys
when you're under pressure?

I only tell them how far,

When to come in to eat,

And how many pots are left.

You wanna get them on the...

On the roller coaster.

- [whirring]
- [jeff] got 'em. Got 'em.

- We're on.
- Nice.

- Nice.
- [jeff] big fish.

- [john claps]
- big fish.

-Hey, johnny.
On the throttle.
-Okay.

And just guide me up deck.

Watch the line.
We don't wanna get over it.

[jeff] okay, so, let's
go ahead and switch.

Okay, we got some
wind coming in on us.

- Wind him nice and slow, okay?
- [john] okay.

[jeff] nice and slow.
I'm gonna get
the rest of the stuff ready.

[john] true.

It's a big one.
It's a big one.

We get first navy in the hook.

Ooh!

This goes well,
I'll buy you a blue hawaii.

- Blue hawaii.
- Yeah.

There's a blue hawaii!.

Well, we gotta get 'em first.

Just hanging right there.

Just wants to spin.

Just wants us to do
his little spin.

[jeff] all right. This guy'
head is going down, john.

Now, let's switch.
I wanna turn it.

Let's switch.
You stay on over there.

He goes down like that,

He'll get into a circle
wherein we can't stop him.

So...

Pressure's on.
You know what fish fear most?

Jeff silva and
jonathan hillstrand.

[chuckles]

John, same thing
as the last one?

- I'm gonna put you
on gaff, okay?
- Okay.

- I know that there's a lot
of pressure on that, but...
- Yeah. Yeah.

- ...Like, it's a very
important job.
- Yeah.

You know what? Like I said,
we're gaffing a 150 pounds.

I don't wanna be
that guy that...

When you lose the fish,
it's like losing
body or soul, dude.

Well, we got 'em on about


He's right there.

[jeff] try not to hit him
in the eye.

Not yet. Not yet.

Let him go. Let him go.
Let him go.

Pick him on this last circle.

Let him do one more circle.
Not yet, not yet...

Not yet. Not yet...

Right through you, right now.
Hit him.

[grunts]

- [john] get up here...
- [thudding]

- Got him.
- [grunts]

- That's a big ♪bleep♪
- that's a big ♪bleep♪

[john] whoo!

[both chuckle]

- [jeff] whenever
you're ready...
- one, two, three...

- [both grunting]
- [thudding]

- Wow.
- Good job, johnny.

Hey, this one's probably
closer to 170.

- Wow.
- Pretty good job.

-[john] beautiful.
Thank you, god.
-Thank you.

Whoo!

- That was ♪bleep♪ awesome.
- That was awesome, right?

I'm so glad,
I did not ♪bleep♪ up!

[shane] I'm seeing
a lot of these boats

Turned over and sank.

I don't think...
Pretty much sunk.

These ones are destroyed
over there.

- Look at that.
- It's missing half the roof.

[casey] well,
funny back there.

All those cars underwater.
You see that?

[josh] we're about to go bel
sea level here, certainly.

[shane] this road
is covered in water.

[josh] never seen
mother nature

Do anything like this before

My heart goes out
to these people.

One way or the other,
we gotta get down to venice.

We have to see if it's...

Possible to fix.

But we don't know if...

Venice is still... Open.

And also, we don't know
if people are out there

Needing help.

So, if people need help,

We're going to...

We'll assist.

It is amazing
how fast things change.

A couple of days ago,

All I could think about
was filling this order.

Now, who knows if we'll
get back on the water now.

There's a massive devastatio

I mean, it's catastrophic.

Case is gonna take west sid
with the cajun navy.

Shane and I are gonna go
on the east side...

With jorda.

Yeah, the hurricane came
straight through this area

And there's just complete

Devastation everywhere
you look.

I, honestly, don't even know
if we're gonna be able
to launch the boat.

There's a volunteer group
down here

That works to rescue
and resupply people...

That get stranded after stor

Well, I'm a boat captain
in emt,

So, I kinda fall
into that category

And if I can help people,
I will.

You sam?

Sorry, we're
a few minutes late.

It was a heck of a drive
down here, man.

This place is torn up.

Yeah. Big time. Big time.

We all on hook?

[sam]

[whirring]

Make to work our way
over to venice.

[jorda] so, we're
heading out here.

These houses kinda got
hit pretty hard, so...

We're gonna go,
check them out.

See what we can do.

And we're gonna see if we can
get y'all boys to venice.

[josh] venice, here we come.

There's a lot of debris
in the water.

Boy, I think we oughta
keep our eyes open for it.

Half sunk logs,

Powerlines, houses...

Coming on to this truss...

Train track bridge and...

Normally, we kinda
get through them.

Obviously, these conditions
are a little bit different.

But the currents
ripping through here.

On this high water
we got a low tide coming up,

So that water's moving quick.

[casey] yeah, that current
is pretty fast.

[jorda] yay or nay?

Pushing down,
pushing down, pushing...

Oh, yeah.

It's a pretty tight squeeze.

[casey] the mattress
is impaled on the piling.

This place
is absolutely destroyed.

Anybody up there?

[casey] ronald's got a trailer
home down there in venice.

But his family home's
up in here. Pretty nice place.

There is ron's truck
right there.

My old' man, take care
of the crew.

That was everything.

Part of the fishing
is being with these guys.

This is my family, you know

And this is my family.

[all cheering]

[josh] why would you though
you could get rid of us?

You think we can
get to venice?

[ronald] everything's
flooded, man.

[casey] stacking up.
We ain't got no income
coming in right now,

So we gotta go somewhere
to get back to work.

- I heard that.
- But if you guys need help,
let us know.

I might need a job.

[all chuckling]

[ronald] I'd like to be
at your house though,
you know what I'm saying?

[both chuckle]

I'll be your outsider guy.
I'll be your butler.

[all chuckling]

- Garcon.
- [chuckles]

Anybody up there?

You guys doing okay up there?

Less than 24 hours since
hurricane ida made landfall

We're trying to make it bac
down to venice.

But everything in our path
is just obliterated.

We got lots of water,
if you need water.
We got food.

[casey] how you doing, sir?

[jim]

You're alive. Did you stay
down here for that?

[jim]

[casey] no kidding.

What, so you're down here...

This is your place?

Holy smokes.

- What was your name?
- Jim.

Jim? That's my dad's name.

Nice to meet you, jim.
I'm casey.

How are you doing on food
and everything else? You good?

[jim]

- Propane tank?
- Yeah.

[jim]

We're gonna go out here.

We're gonna look if anybody
else needs water
and everything else.

If I see a propane tank,

It feels full, I'll bring it
back for you, okay?

All right.
Take good care, jim.

[casey] I've never seen
anything like it.

You don't know
the meaning of devastation

Till you met a man who just
had his house blown apart.

Dude that roof is gone.

[shane]

Yeah.

And the biggest this is,
you got...

Serious, serious water damage.

And you got power that will
not be restored here for...

Pretty long time.

[shane] dude.

[josh] careful, don't explode.

[jorda] belly all blown up.

But that's still a monster,
monster gator.

A lot of stuff in the water
that you gotta watch out for.

There's really
no right way to do this

As far as you leave your
boats in the water

Or you try to put 'em
up on land.

Either way, it's taking
a big risk.

It's hard to move
thee big boats outta here.

[shane] any boat
that's left in here is done

[josh] boats are
three or four pieces

Rolled over on their side
in water.

Where are those fish, shane?

[jorda] currents ripping
through here right now.

So, we're gonna have to find
another route around.

This house got pretty
messed up over here.

Lost a lot of siding.

Look at that.
The place's shredded.

Mother nature's
cruel, cruel, b*tch.

[casey] so, how far is
the venice from here.

It's a good thirty miles.

Open water?



I don't know if we can
make that.

All right, what do you say
we head our back that way?

- [sam] sounds good.
- All right.

[sam] you see
that grey bucket?

Is that a propane tank?

- [casey] oh, right on
the beach there?
- Yeah.

Yeah.

Prop down in front
of one of these.

[casey] I just found jim
a propane tank.

Feels like it's got, maybe,
half amount of cooking in it

Hope he likes his steak rare.

We tried to get back
to venice.

And this couldn't make it.

I mean, there's just
so much distraction.

So many people
that lost everything.

Jim's not right here.

Hey, jim!

Found your propane tank.

The folks down here are toug

But it's hard to imagine
any of these people

Getting back to work
anytime soon.

I'll tell you what, man,
I don't know what you guys
saw out there...

Uh, on the way to grand isle,

I saw some devastation.

Saw our damn boats.

But then as we...

Decided to get a little bit
further on

Down the road,

We could not make it so far.

God, down there, what used
to be homes is just pillars.

You know, like,
they're elevated homes.

Ready for storm search.

And the whole homes
are just gone.

Destroyed.

But what do you think
we should do for
the rest of this order?

Oh, it's nothing...
Everything's gone.

And there's gonna be
weeks and weeks out.

We gotta give matt a call

And see to yesterday.

[josh] between the screw up
with the red fish,

The missing ahi
and swords, we're late.

Obviously, mother nature
played a role.

But we still didn't
come through.

That's my name
on the contract.

Hey, man. How's it
going today, pal?

[matt on phone]

Well, you know,

The hurricane really
twisted off a bunch of stuff.

We'll do what we could do.

Obviously, it's gonna be
weeks before anything...

Can get done though,
by the water there. By the...

Um...

[matt on phone]

Well, you know, we...

We failed on a lot of things
on the order.

Just because of the weather

And everything else
that happened...

Kind of really took the wind
out of our sails there.

[matt on phone]

All right, well,
what y'all gonna do about it

[josh] we're gonna be
on the road quick, man.

[josh] then we're back.

Well, you know,

What do you think about
maybe, us going to hawaii?

You need the same fish
that they got over there.

So, we can just
fly the fish in,

Ship 'em to you so then
at least you got some product.

[matt on phone]

Yeah, well, we can
leave tonight.

Big fish by tomorrow.

[matt]

You know, work hard
and help me out here.

Yeah, I think we can
do that, man.

Let's...

[thuds]

[matt]

Oh, yeah, well,
we're your guys, man.

We got it. Later brother.

Well, I'm a gambler, man.

[casey] yeah,
you're a gambler, man.

But you keep gambling

♪bleep♪ checks
your mouth writes

And your a*s can't cash,
we have to cash it.

♪bleep♪ that's why
we're a team.

Don't worry. I do actually
have a plan.

[josh] now.

Welcome back to kona.

- Woo-hoo!
- Yeah.

- You got something
goin' on right there.
- Hooked up!

Yeah.

- There we go.
- [screams]

Oh, yeah.

[man] tonight, the volcano
on the big island,
is erupting once again.

♪bleep♪

- Oh! Go...
- Move it a little bit.

[man] there's no way
to complete this order.

What other options we got?

[josh] never give up.
