04x04 - Dethroned

Post by bunniefuu »

NARRATOR:
The past three seasons,

Fishin' Frenzy's been
the fleet's top-earning boat.

-Yes, nice fish.

NARRATOR: But this year,
Captain Greg's off his game.

-Guys are catching
fish right now.

We're falling back.

-He'sours, pretty work!
-Bam!
-Whoo!

-Nice, baby!

-Mmm, I love that.

-It's frustrating.

NARRATOR: And now...

-Come on Billon, come on!

NARRATOR: While the
reigning champ melts down...

-Greg's used to
being number one.

He ain't number one right now.

NARRATOR: It's a
race for first place.

-Right here off
the, we're on, Will!

Got 'em on!

-There they are,
right beside us, look!

NARRATOR: Which boat
has the right stuff...

-This is total mayhem.

This is what we live for.

NARRATOR: To deliver
the biggest payday
of the season yet?

-Oh, my God!

-Oh, Frenzy!

We're coming for you, boy.

NARRATOR: On Wicked Tuna:
Outer Banks.

Last trip, longtime champion
Greg on the Fishin' Frenzy
got knocked off his throne.

Now, every boat in the
fleet is gunning for
that number one spot.

-We've been here all morning
and ain't got a bite yet.

-All right, we
got to get a bite.

CHARLIE: Wouldn't it be
funny if the littlest boat
in the fleet won the thing?

That'd be funny as hell.

-That would.

[beeping]

-Steve, I got a mark.

There they are,
right beside us!

Video that, video it, look!

Jimminy Christmas.

Big ones.

Did you see them things?

-A boomalama, hobbadamma!

I can't explain
how happy we are.

They're fat little rascals.

We caught three Bluefin tunas
in the last couple of days.

We're ahead of everyone
right now in earnings,
even ahead of the Frenzy.

Frenzy's been doing really
good for the last three
years and somebody needs

to settle him down a little bit.

Got a mark.

Ooh!

-Okay, Griff.

[beeping]

-Come on baby,
come on baby, please.

-Okay Griff, okay.

-We got 'em on, we're on!

-Hang on, Griff.
-What?
-Back up, buddy!

-All right, we're
looking good now.

He's still taking.

-I got this.
-Got that?
-Yeah.

-All the way on the back one.
-Huh?
-All the way on the back one.

-Good, good job Steve.

Wow man, I'm telling
you these are big ones.

Wow, he's burning
her down, boy.

Burning her down, whoo.

-I'm not seeing a damn thing.

Damn, Griff, man.

On to it.

Griff hasn't been here and
hour and he's got 'em on.

-He's just lucky.

-I feel like I'm a
complete amateur.

-Keep that, keep that
upper lip stiff, Steve.

Good job, buddy.

This is a really big
fish and I don't want
to jeopardize losing it.

Damn, that's a lot of color.

Holy, [bleep] got color,
a lot of it too, captain.

All right, man, we got him.

Let's pull him up now.

Pull on him, buddy!

Pull on him.

Okay, get me the other gaff.

-I got this, go.

-This ain't no joke, this
ain't no disco, okay.

-Pretty work, Griff.
-Pretty work, man.

Hell yeah, hell
yeah, there you go.

I'm telling you that's badass.

Whoo, that's a good one.

Ooh.

He's an 88 incher.

-88.
-88 and like me, fat.

Oh, my gosh, there's the
Frenzy, he's gonna hate this.

-We really, I really hope so.

Wow.

-Just waiting on
our turn, that's all it is.

Wait, wait, wait,
patient man's game.

-This has been a really,
really tough year.

Generally, we keep up
with the fleet and we're
ahead of most of them.

This year we just can't do it.

Right now all of the Southern
Boats pulled ahead of us.

The only saving grace,
we're still ahead
of the northern boats,

Pinwheel and the Hot Tuna.

It's important for me to
be on top and we have been
for the last three years.

But, I'm in a slump right now.

-Hey Greg, put me back up.

-I don't know why I might
as well be driving around
with nothing in the water

doing the same thing.

-Yeah, we'll
get our turn again.

-Circled there all morning.

Can't get a bite.

We really do suck, wow.

TJ: Look who it is that
wasn't out there today.

Look, big bad Pinhead.

I thought he was the
most commercial hardcore
guy on the east coast?

-I guess not.

-I know Greg's been playing
us against each other.

He'd rather have us fighting
each other than him.

-He's out here
telling everybody TJ's a
[bleep] he can't even come

across the bar.

TJ: But if it was his
plan to distract us.

Put her in a slip, big mouth.

We pulled ahead of
pinhead in the earning.

Let's go!

Think we scared
him the other day?

-Let's leave the dock
before they get in.

TYLER: The Hot Tuna's
coming in right now.

Fishing is a mental game.

My mojo is definitely
off so I need to just go have
fun for a couple days and

get my rhythm back.

See where all the
boats crash in?

Look at over there.

-Yup, oh yep, wow.

-That's why I've
got my girlfriend,
Savannah on this trip.

-That's scary.

-Look at all the white
caps out at the bar.

Once we get passed
that it'll be nice.

-All right.

It's tough being the
girlfriend of a fisherman.

I see him, when he's fishing,
probably once a week, if that.

I'm really excited to go
fishing with Tyler; this
will be our first time.

-This is definitely
a little sketchier.

Duffy, it's time go surfing.

Whoo.

-Let's go fishing.
-Yeah.

GREG: I can't believe
we can't get a damn bite.

We suck.

I'm out here to catch fish.

I want to be the
one getting a bite.

You're only as
good as your mates.

I caught a lot of fish
with my former mate, Nick.

He knew what he was
doing on the back deck.

Nick, what'd you see?

-I just marked 'em all
the way across the screen.



Uh!

-Holy [bleep] I cannot...

[bleep]

-All right, he's coming
across there higher
now, come on, baby!

My goal this season is to
beat the Frenzy and I'm
damn determined to do it.

Our last Bluefin put us in
second place right behind
the Reels of Fortune,

which is ahead of Frenzy.

Oh my God,
look at him, look at him!

As a new captain this
season, I got to prove
that I'm a real contender,

and the fact that we're
ahead of Frenzy right now,
I think that says it all.

Come on.

-Come on, fish, come on.

[beeping]

-There he is, there he is!

Jig it, jig it!

-Come on, take it, take it.

He's biting.

Wait for it, wait for it!

[snap]

-There he goes, hey,
turn the hydraulics on!

-Slow her down.
-We're on!



-Son of a [bleep].

Damn Nick's on.

-God.

-We just had four or five
of 'em pile on the stick.

I don't feel him
on here no more.

-Is he gone?

-Yes, I don't know if he's
on that one or not, Brandan,
crank it tight just find out.

-That one that jumped
was a nice one.

-Maybe we'll get
lucky here, guys.

-Guys, he's on this rod.
-Okay, crank it tight.

-We got a fish on, hopefully
we're gonna get him.

-Keep that line tight
and crank it fast.

-Crank, crank, crank, Brandan.

Slow right down, Cliffy,
fish is up on top and
don't put too much heat on.

-I'm not, I'm not.

-We're dragging him now.

Keep it tight, crank
fast, crank fast.

There you go, keep her bowed.

All right,
there's the fish Cliff,
just take your time,

just keep going
just like you're doing.

Perfect, Cliffy.

Here let me take over,
you get the dart.

All right, right there
in the rod holder.

Go ahead, Cliff, go ahead.

Real easy, Cliffy.

-All right,
Brandan, get ready.

-Watch it, watch, watch him!

-He's going under the boat.

He's going under the boat.

-Go ahead, go ahead,
go ahead, go ahead!

NICK: Real easy, Cliffy.

-All right, Brandan, get ready.
-Watch it, watch, watch him!

Go ahead, go ahead,
go ahead, go ahead!

-He's going under the boat,
he's going under the boat!

-All right, down,
he's right here under.

Just keep doing exactly
what you're doing, Cliff.

-All right.

-Keep going ahead;
don't take it out of
gear whatever you do.

Go real slow all right.

Stop.

He just won't circle
the right way.

Cliff, run over here
and back the drag off
a little bit on my rod.

Okay, come right here,
Brandan.

-No, hold on just slow down.
-All right.
-Slow right down.

Nice, now get the tail.

You have to get [inaudible]
get a tail gaff.

-I got it.

Good job, man.

-Good job, man, Brandan
awesome, awesome.

-Good job, Cliff,
good job, man.

-Let's get this fish
in the boat, guys.

-All right.

-Got it, Brandan?
-Yup.
-See how long he is here?

-Yeah, man.
-Oh, 73 and a half, baby.

All right, he ain't
the biggest one in the
world, we'll take him.

Any fish under 73 inches
we have to release.

This practice helps us
sustain the stocks of Bluefin.

Pretty work, pretty work.

All right, I'm gonna
put it on the radio.

We got one, we got 'em!

-Un-[bleep]-believable.

-He never even knew how
to catch one until he
went fishin' with me.

-Uh.
-Ever, didn't know anything.

Now he sets out and he
lands in them every day.

-Wow.

-Greg's ego is taking
a huge hit right now.

I just deflated his
head a little bit.

-I don't know how
you do it every day.

-Every day!
-Every day!
-Wash down!

Go find the switch over
there that says wash down.

Turn it on.

-Okay.

-Duffy and I are in last
place so I'm taking advantage
of having my girlfriend,

Savannah, with
me on this trip.

-Left or the right so you
narrow it down a little.

-I'm gonna give
her a crash course in
Bluefin Tuna fishing 101.

Savannah,
get to work, Savannah.

-I'm turning it on.
-Turn it on!
-It's on.

Tyler has a passion
for fishing.

I'm excited to see him
doing what he does and what
he loves and I can't wait for

us to catch a fish together.

I'm just ready for anything.

-Want to touch dead fish?
-Do I want to touch dead fish?
-Yes.

-Sure.
-Okay, here, get
yourself a ballyhoo.

-What, what?

-I have to poop them?
-Push in here.

-Are you being serious?

Are you serious?

Oh my God.

-There you go, good girl
all right, perfect.

Good job now in the bucket.

You got to
understand the bait.

And there's only one way
to be one with the bait
and that's to poop it.

-I got that
experience all right.

-Now you're gonna
squeeze the back of them.

-So what do you mean?

Like squeeze the back?

Like, okay.

-Yeah, that's it and then
you feel a break and just go
all they're way down his tail.

-I kind of just went for it.

I broke the spine
and pooped a fish.

-"S" it out, "S" it out.

Good, "S" it out.

Look, "S" it out.

You gonna feed your pet
ballyhoo to a fishy?

-Yup.
-Okay.
-Yep, sure am.

-I'm happy Savannah's out
here with us on this trip.

Any girl that can poop
a bait is fine by me.

-What?
-That's cute.

You pooping the ballyhoo.

Gonna to catch you a big one.

-Yes we are.

CHARLIE: Tuna fishin', baby.

-You guys are on fire.
-Hey, what's up, man?

We got one really nice fish
for you, bud, right here,
man, a big one, a nice one.

-This one looks really good.

Look at that thing.

He's a butterball.

-Straight butter,
no margarine.

-Hopefully so.

All right, let's see
what we got here, buddy.

-402 pounds.

-All right,
thank you, let's see
what this one looks like.

The buyer will look
at the fat content as well
the color of the meat to

determine the
price of the fish.

That one looks
good, doesn't it?

-That has a lot of fat.

-It does, really
nice oil conent here.
-Yeah.

Let's see what the
core looks like, Mary.

-So far this season
our tunas have averaged
over $18 a pound.

Man, it'd be
great to get that much
for a fish this size.

-Really nice fat fish.
-That sounds great.

What do you think, boss?

-$20 a pound.
-Come on.
-Wow.

-That's perfect, thanks man.
-All right.
-Thanks, guys, thanks.

-Dennis.
-Nice job, guys.

Keep up the good
work, Charlie.

-Oh man, we're trying boss,
we're trying.

Oh, Frenzy!

We're coming for you, boy!

Tuna fishin', baby.

Yeah.

GREG: I swear man, I'm getting
frustrated I can't get a bite.

We got to get a bite.

-It's got to get better,
man, can't get any worse.

-Put the stick out, boys.

Nothing.

I mean we're completely
snake-bit, absolutely
completely snake-bit.

Yesterday, Griff weighed in
their sixth fish of the season
and my former first mate,

Nick, on the Little Shell,
he caught his fourth fish.

We've only caught three
fish so far and now we
can't even find a mark.

Come on baby, come on baby!

Good God, man, we've
been around 'em.

We've been on top of 'em.

Bites next to us.

When I say get everything
ready, it means
get everything ready.

Come on Billon,
standing with your
hands in your pockets.

-All right.

Greg's got a lot
to live up to.

He's been the man.

To be the man, you got
to keep being the man.

But him freaking out on
us is not gonna help.

-It's a simple
[bleep] command.

Have it ready.

Unbelievable, man.

-Oh, this is sucking.

-Tunas have been right
on the grass in the rift.

We're on the rift
that they've been
on I'm pretty sure.

-Not real encouraging.

Pretty sure,
I could have got up there
and been pretty sure.

DALE: Right now,
Foolish Pleasures is
running with the big dogs,

the top earning boats.

If Will Billy, Ed and I
were any happier right now,
we'd probably be in jail.

Keep me eye on this little
flights of fish up here.

Here comes Greg.

A few nights ago,
Greg deliberately mugged us.

-Watch him.

[bleep], [bleep], [bleep].

-And he cost us a paycheck.
-We cut his fish off.
-We did.

-We had the last laugh
because our next catch earned
us more than ten grand.

But, even better, that
put us ahead of Frenzy.

Karma's a [bleep].

I think he's on to my spot.

-Box him out.

-I'm not.

DALE [over radio]:
What are you doing
hanging around here, Greg?

-We don't have anything on.

I did see a mark,
but we can't get a bite.

-There's nothing here,
move along.

-Got a lot of bad mojo
on that rig right now.

[laughter]

[beeping]

A lot of fish right here.

The motherlode.

They're right here
off the side, dude.

Right here off...

-Holy, got 'em on!
-There he is, we got 'em on!
-Got 'em on, Will!

-Got 'em on!

Holding heavy, baby.

Hell yeah!

I am out of gear, brother.

Let's hope we can hold
on to him this one
-Whoa, son.

-Keep an eye on
that Bandit reel.
-I got you, Dale.

Nice one.

-That is a hell of a fish, man.
-Holy smokes.
-Yeah!

Did you see that, Frenzy?

We hooked one!

-[bleep] got to be kidding me!

ED: Got 'em on,
got 'em on, Will!

-Hell yeah.

-Let's hope we can
hold onto this one.

-Whoa, son.

-Keep an eye on
that Bandit reel.

-I got you, Dale.

Nice one.

-That is a hell
of a fish, man.

-Holy smokes.

-You see that, Frenzy!

We finally hooked one.

-[bleep].

-Good luck to you.

-[bleep].

-No comment, brother.

-Here he comes.

Nice fish, boys.

-Oh, hell yeah.

-Forward, Dale,
forward, forward.

All right, hold up, hold up!

Let me get this clip
up here and get it off.

-Hey I'm gonna give it
a little bit of reverse.

-All right, he's
right down here, Dale.

Making a little circle.

-We only got one good dart.

-Where's he at?

-Get him up here too, yeah,
he's a nice one, dude.

-Oh he's there, he's there.

-Get the gaff,
get him, get him!

-Did you get him?
-Got him.
-We got him.

He's tied off, baby.

-Coming down.
-Yeah!

-Foolish Pleasures
got another one.

-Got to be kidding me.
-All right, let's go, Dale.

[grunting]

-Dude, he's a big boy.

-Get a measurement on him.



Back in action.

Let me go up here and
get us a 105, nice.

-I think we're gonna have
to invest in a little bit
bigger tape measurer if

we're gonna keep
catching fish like this.

-The only thing that's better
than landing this Bluefin
in front of Greg is...

nah, there ain't
nothing better.

Absolutely nothing better.

One O two!

That's how it's done on
the Foolish Pleasures.

Come on, Frenzy.

-Son of [bleep],
we're [bleep].

BILLON: Greg's used
to being number one.

He ain't number one right now.

I know that's
stressing him out.

Greg does not want
anybody else to beat him.

His little temper
tantrums don't help.

There's too many players
at the card game.

You know what I mean?

-We don't have anything on.

We can't get a bite.

I'm outta here.

I'm [bleep] out
of this [bleep]!

That's it, I quit!

-He sounds fit to
be tied, brother.

BRITTON: No doubt.

Frenzy's in a dry spell.

It happens.

Greg thinks that
anything other than first
place is last place.

Distraught.

I mean that's what he
sounded, just distraught.

-He did, defeated.

-I will say that is true.

I fished with Greg a lot
of years and I know every time
Greg sees someone land a fish,

he's just sort of unraveling.

The Pissin' Frenzy.

That's all he does
is piss and moan.

CHARLIE: Well you
know when you're at
the top of the ladder,

you have nowhere
to go but down.

TYLER: Greg can't
catch anything.

He's kicking himself.

Right now Greg's in a
slump and this is the time
that we need to capitalize.

We need to catch a bunch
of fish because he's not.

TJ: If there's a been a season
where Greg felt the heat,
right now he's feeling it.

He's missing Nick right now.

He'll never admit it,
but it's kind of coincidental
that they're struggling and he

doesn't have the same
crew as last year.

I think the Nick thing is
definitely getting to Greg
way more than he leads onto.

And the fact that
Nick's catching fish and is
actually having a pretty good

season so far.

-I think to turn
things around, Greg
needs to be humble.

He's not always gonna be the
first place boat and sometimes
things don't go your way.

That's part of life.

I don't catch nothing.

This sucks.

The Pissin' Frenzy.

-Little Shell on
the meat again.

-You see the Fishin'
Frenzy today?

-No, he's missing in action.

-Missing in action.

-I don't think he
caught any fish today.

-Good.

-That's the way we want it.

-What have you got
for me tonight?

-Not the biggest fish ever
caught but, happy to have him.

-All right, let's check it out.
-All right.

-What we got, Dennis?
-204 pounds.
-All right, yeah!

-Take him, but he ain't
gonna get no bigger.

-Sure ain't.

-Let's see what
it's all about.

-All right, let's
check him out.

It's not a huge tuna
but it's one more than my
old boss on the Frenzy has

caught this season,
so I'm jacked up.

-All right.

-Not a bad little fish, guys.

Nice oily texture in the
minor lobes penetrating
into the major lobes.

-Good.

-Let's see what the
core looks like.

Oh, look at that, beautiful.

-So what's the bottom line?

-$16 a pound.
-That's all right, brother.

-Awesome dude, thank you, bud.
-Thank you, Dennis.
-Good job, guys.

-Yes, sir.

CLIFF: All right,
yes sir, thank you.

-We're coming
after you, Frenzy!

Give 'em hell, Little Shell.

-It's midnight.

It's the middle of the
night and it sounds like
it's going off up here.

-Griff, Dale and
Nick all caught fish.

We've got nothing.

So, get in here
and get started.

Put a couple of baits down
and hopefully catch some fish.

-We're gonna try our luck.

TYLER: Setting this
out on a balloon.

I only have one out.

Way out, too.

I'm so excited that
Savannah's on this trip.

She's a quick study.

She's doing better than some
of my previous mates ever did.

I just can't wait until
we land her first tuna.

And it wouldn't hurt if we
left Frenzy in our wake.

What do you think
of tuna fishing?

-It's really exciting.

I always knew that Tyler
worked really hard but, seeing
what they're doing constantly,

just running around,
doing everything,
setting up bait,

constantly looking
at the fish finder.

It's crazy.

[beeping]

-All right Savannah,
what's going on the fish finder?

[beeping]

-There he goes!
-Nailed it, baby!

-Looks like something
big might be on,
hopefully it's a tuna.

It'll be the first one.

-Wow, dude, what a burner.
-We got 'em on right now.

We're getting 'em.

-Duffy's down and tight.

We're good.

-All right, that's the one
we've been waiting for!

-I'm fighting a fish.

-Son of a [bleep].

He got a bite.

-Yo, this is the biggest
bite of the season.

It's total mayhem.

Boats all over the place
are down and tight.

This is as good as it gets.

This is what we live for.

-It's on!
-Making high circles.

-I'm so excited right now.

We're gonna catch
my first tuna.

-Gonna have the
leader in a minute.

Ty.

-Yo, yo, yo.
-Watch the line.

-It's all good, it's all good.

-Deep color, deep color.

-Oh, God.
-Keep him out one more time.

Keep him out!

Keep the rod off the
back of the boat, reel.

Easy, easy, easy, easy.

-Nice, brother!

-Oh, this is a big one!

Tail gaff!

Savannah, get
the tail rope,
go put the tail rope on.

-Agh!
-Pull, pull, pull!
-Yes, we got one!

Savannah just caught
her first tuna.

She has no idea how big
it is and it's a big one.

-Oh, my God.

-Yeah, I got one out.

-Holy [bleep] here we go!

-There he is, 25,
here they are.

-We're still marking, we got
to try and hook another one.

-He's on the down rod.

He's coming, come on, baby!

All right, we got
to get a bite.

-Here, let's get this
fish in the boat.

-That's insanity.

-Let's get this
fish in the boat.

GREG: Whoo, got 'em on!

TYLER: Got 'em on, reel!

CK: Oh, my God.

You have bait down there?

-Yeah, I got one out.
-Holy [bleep] here we go!

-There he is 25.

Here they are.

-We're still marking we got
to try and hook another one.

-He's on the down rod.

He's coming, come on, baby!

All right, we got
to get a bite.

-Here, let's get this
fish in the boat.

-That's insanity.

-Let's get this
fish in the boat.

-Yo Duffy, got 'em on, again!

Got 'em on, reel.

Whoo-hoo, Savy, go help Duffy.

-It's like one after
another of craziness.

-Dude, it's game on.

This is the way I like it.

-Tyler's fighting
one right here.

-Ridiculous.

We're marking 'em why
can't we get a bite?

Oh [bleep] man.

-Savannah, see that rod?

That blue one.

Reel it in real slow.

-Whoo!

-Yeah, Savannah, reel,
reel, reel, reel, reel!

Yeah girl, whoo-hoo!

-All right, let's do this.

-Crank, crank!

-If we land these two
fish, Savannah, you're
my lucky banana.

Keep reeling girl,
keep reeling.

I got a double up.

And I got one hanging.

I'm trying to get
this fish in the boat.

-My strategy to chill with
Savannah to get my mojo back
is working better than ever.

-It will be up here
in two seconds, bud.

Swivel.

Fish, coming right up.

-I'm gaffing this guy.

-Yeah, baby that's a big one.

-We're good.

Grab the tailrope!

-Don't bother me now!

All right, yeah.

-Let's go, whoo!

All right, we got another one.

Hey, Duff, come help
me for a minute.

This one's big.

Keep reeling, Savannah.

You're doing great.

-Yeah, great.

-You're fine just
take your time.

-Oh, whoo!

Oh, baby!

-I'm literally using my
whole body right now.

-Savannah,
crank it, you got it!

-This is one of the best
days of my fishing life.

Savannah you hooked
your own fish.

-Yeah.

-Do you want me
to hook you one?

-You screamed like
a little girl.

I guess Tyler does
have 'em on, dammit

-You're on.

Turn the handle, turn!

-I'm turning it!

-Come on!

-Greg gets a little anxious
too fast in my opinion.

-I see.

-Crank up the slack.
-Go ahead, Greg, go ahead.

Keep going, give
me a little slack.

-Keep going, crank.

Crank that thing up.

Go, keep going go, go!

-Go ahead, go ahead, go ahead!

-Back the drag off.

God!

When anything like that
happens back her off.

See that's your own fault.

-Yeah, we lost a fish
but that's no excuse to
take it out on Jay and I.

-This is enough
to make me vomit.

-Another slob here.

He's getting tired.

We broke him.

There he is!

Yeah, brother.

Stick him!

You drilled him,
brother, all right.

-Nice shot, T.

Tail rope!

-Bam, whoo, yup!

-Yes, all right.

-Let's get this
fish in the boat.

-Did you get my fish?

-Yeah, another good one.

-Pull me down.

-What?

-Just grab my hips
and pull me down.

-Are you serious right now?

-Whoo, all right.

-Man, get a tape measure;
measure fish number one.

-93.

-Whoo, let's check
out fish number two!

-Yes, 89 and a half!

-Bingo!

-Fish number three.

-95.
-Oh, yeah.

-Oh, thank you!

So exciting, yay.

-It's a great
feeling right now.

I'm so happy I
came on this trip.

It was an amazing experience
to have with Tyler and I'm
so happy I got to see him

out in his element.

-Hey, good morning Vietnam.
-I can't stand that [bleep].

-Be patient.
-Yeah, no [bleep].
-We're just wasting time.

I think we're pissing
in the wind here now.

-We got to get these fish
in and get back out there.

-Oh, my God.

-Savannah's my lucky banana.

-What's up, Bubba?
-What's going on, guys?

-We got one nice one
for you here, Bubba.

We got to get this
thing off of here so we
can get back out there.

-All right, let's get it up.

-She's a biggun.

Just how I like it.

All right, what
do we got, Bubba?

-490 pounds.
-Nice.

-Nice, let's check it out.
-Let's go see what we got.

This is a good-sized fish
and we're hoping we get a
good-sized paycheck for it.

-All right, what
do we got here?

Not a bad shape on it.

Core's nice, great color
to it, got some oil to it.

-What's this gonna
mean to my wallet?

-Give you $15 a pound.

Nice, take that all
day long, thank you.

-Thank you.

-Seven grand, hell yeah,
not bad for a day's work.

Take that, Frenzy.

-I've been so worried about
what everyone else is doing.

I haven't been focused
on what we're doing.

BILLON: Yeah, a lot going on
and he's hard a day already,
man, I feel for him.

But, we've had a hard day too.

When other boats are catching
fish and we're not, it's
just a tough pill to swallow.

-I shouldn't have treated the
crew the way I did tonight.

It's unacceptable.

First thing I've got to
do is change my attitude.

Hey guys, I'm sorry
I lost my cool.

-Forget about it.
-Give me a hug.

I still love you, baby.

-I can't take it personally.
-Tough day, man.
-Brush it off.

-You know I love you.
-I'm gonna focus on my
boat, my crew, my fish.

Hard going, you sit there
and you're like "What the
hell is going on with us?"

-We're good.

-I don't even think Dotcom
would push his mate.

-Time to get up, reorganize.

-I can't give up we're
gonna keep fishing.

I might be spending the night.

-Aye-aye, captain.

Yeah, baby.

-Fishing for
a living is challenging,
mentally and physically,

but we're all out here
together, and we've got to
be able to rely on each other.

It's not until you get
your head right that you
can catch those fish.

Hey, go ahead put 'em out.

We'll try these things
for a little bit.

-Looking like a player, man.

Definitely raising
the spirits.

[beeping]

-There they are.

Mark started here
at 45 fathoms.

Big boys.

We got to get a bite.

-Key ingredient is being
in the right place.

-There they are look
at 'em off shore.

That's them.

Look at 'em.

-Oh, yeah.

Yeah, right out here.

-Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah!

Oh!

We're gonna get
'em right here.

-That's them.

Fish jumping, we're
marking 'em under the boat.

We're in the right place.

Patient right now.

-We don't want
you, we need you.

Come on baby, come on, baby.

[clicking]

[reel unspooling rapidly]

Oh, got 'em on!

-That's flat line!
-Got 'em on!

-Whoo, might be what
we've been looking for!

-Oh, man!

ot him on!

-Flat line, might be what
we've been looking for.

-Hooked up, finally.

-He's mad.

-Finally got a decent
fish here I think.

He's acting like it.

-It's a athlete.
-It's a screamer.
-Coming at you, all you.

-Yeah, it's all about
the pounds, baby.

-He's still off
my bow somewhere.

-He's pulling us now.

-It's a wicked tuna.

It's a wicked strong one.

-It's hard to really
get on the fish
like we want to,

there's a lot of wind
and a lot of current.

Takes a lot longer
to catch the fish.

-Jump in here.

-Teamwork, baby.

-Teamwork makes
the dream work.

-Teamwork, baby.

-Time and effort trying to
get this fish in the boat.

-It's a real one.

-Top shot.

-Crank that thing up!

Go, go!

-Ease up here.

Yeah, we're going
on pretty good here.

-I've got to keep going.
-Getting there.

-Oh, there he is!

Yeah, he's pretty down there.

Man versus beast.

-Quick, quick,
quick, quick, quick!

Go, go, go, go!

-Hold him tight.

Don't want to get
close to that line.

We make one more circle, baby.

-He's a mean b*stard here.

-There he is!

-Go, go, go, go!
Come on!
-Got him!

-We got tail rope on my side,
right here, nice fish, man.

-Right in between.

Go, get him,
I gotcha baby, come on.

Got him, whoo!

-Good job, team.

I'm gonna tell you what.

That was a long time
coming it seems like.

Let's go ahead and
put her in the boat.

-I got him.
-Okay.
-We're good.

-Okay, we got him.
-You got him?
-Yeah, we're good.

-Nice fish, 99 and a half.

Beggars can't be choosers.

-Beautiful.

-We got his a*s, nice one.

-Pretty work.

-Score one for the South!

Yes sir, that's
a little better.

-Hey, welcome to the club.

-Well that sucked.

-It has been a
struggle this week.

We couldn't get a bite,
you start losing faith
in what you're doing and

you start thinking you'll
never get another bite.

From now on I'm going back
to doing my own thing.

Stop chasing the fleet.

It's a really nice fish.

-Selfie time!

-Happy to have him.

-What's up, dude?
-What's up, Bubba?
-What's going on, guys?

-Dude, one of the best days
on the water in my life.

-Yeah, I heard it
was pretty good.

-It was epic fishing.

Savannah got to come out
and catch her first tuna.

-All right.

-This is my lucky banana.

-I got three.

It was a lot of fun.

I'd definitely do it again.

-Let's get 'em up.
-All right, we'll send 'em up.

What's it looking like, Bubba?

-312 dressed.





-Bam, awesome.
-Wow.

-Let's go check
these things out.
-Let's do it.

-Come here, banana.
-I'm coming.

-This is how we
do business now.

-Let's take a look at
the first one here.

Very little fat in this.

Pretty much just a
red meat color fish.

-What are those worth?

-I'll give you $11 a pound.

-All right man,
I'll take that.
-Second fish.

You can see there's just,
much more fat in it.

-Yeah, that's a
good-looking fish.

-Core, nice cherry red.

-What can you do for me?

-This one we can
do $16 a pound.

-All right, I'm
getting happier.

All right, all right.

High fives, we're doing good.

I mean, we're doing well.

All right, tell me
about my breadwinner.

This is a thoroughbred.

-Yeah, this last fish, it's
just got tons of grease.

You can see all of the
fat all the way through.

Core's a nice color as well.

-What are you gonna do
on this on, you gonna
ring the bell or what?

-$20 a pound.

-Awesome, awesome.

That's what why
we come down here.

Thanks so much, Bubba,
we're going fishing.

-All right.
-Thanks for coming fishing.
-Yep, you gotta do you thing.

-Duffy, give me a hug too.

-That's almost 20 grand, dude.

-Nice, all right, come on
let's go clean this boat,
get back out there and

get some more.

Get to work, you two.

-Good luck out there.

-We just got the biggest
payday of the season.

Greg pitted
TJ and I against each
other but I got smart.

I went out and had a fun
time with my girlfriend.

And we caught three jumbos.

-All right, Savannah's
first three fish.

-Cheese!

-I've acquired a new deckhand.

Scrub.

-Scrub.

-Good going, guys.

-Long time no see.

-Tell me about it.

-Looks like you
got a stud there.

-Yeah, it's a nice one.

-Let's see what
she's all about.

-All right, cool,
we're hoping he's a stud.

How big is he?

-535 pounds.

-All right, let's
check him out.

Our last fish was
terrible, $7 a pound.

So, we're really hoping this
fish is in the $18 to $20
range, like our first two,

that's what we need.

It does have some fat.

-Loaded, yeah this
one's loaded with fat.

Let's see what the
core looks like, Mary.

Look at that.

Delighted to get a
nice fish like this.

-Well, what do you think?

-A big fish like this,
loaded up with fat.

-What's the bottom line?

-$18 a pound.

-Bam, I like that.

-Oh yeah, oh yeah.

-All right, let's get rolling.

We're gonna head
right back out there.

-Thanks guys, good luck.

-Thanks a lot.

It's like a huge
weight has been lifted
off of my shoulders.

Everything's getting
ready to turn around.

It's game on.

NARRATOR: Fishin' Frenzy's
monster catch gets
them back in the game.

While Foolish Pleasures'
hefty bluefin puts them only
$800 behind the reigning champ.

But pinwheel's three
fish haul, worth
almost twenty grand,

catapults the Northern
boat into the lead for the
first time this season.

TYLER: Pressure's on
the rest of the fleet.

We're controlling
our own destiny.

-Tyler, he's putting
a big push on.

He just went from
last place to first
place in one trip.

-That just goes to show
you that one good trip
can be a game changer.

Knowing Frenzy, Greg will
take it harder than anyone.

-I got to deal with Tyler.

He said for three years
he's gonna beat me.

He never has.

He comes down, shoots
his mouth off, we
still out-fish him.

DALE: Pinhead knows
what he's doing.

He puts his time in too.

He keeps going and
going, you know.

-Still anybody's game.

Got to get a fish.

That trophy hasn't
went North yet.

BRITTON: I mean, he's a
very accomplished fisherman.

He does drive everybody else
crazy, but he's never given
me a reason not to like him.

TJ: At the end of the
day there's one thing
you got to remember,

without the Hot Tuna
there never would have
been any Pinwheel.

He can catch tunas,
he can stay out in


whatever he wants to do.

But he's still a
mouthy little punk.

-The pressure's on.

[excited scream]
