Wicked Tuna: Outer Banks

The Southern captains fear a full-scale Yankee invasion of their waters when another Northern boat — the Pin Wheel with Captain Tyler McLaughlin — comes steaming into the Outer Banks. This trip, McLaughlin is desperate to make up for the embarrassing last-place finish he landed last season, and to help him he adds Paul Hebert onboard as co-captain. As the Pin Wheel steams in, theyre greeted with gunshots by the Southerners, showing there is no room for Southern hospitality.

Weather in the Outer Banks takes a turn for the worse, pitting man against sea as the turbulent Atlantic Ocean threatens the fishermens quest for bluefin tuna. With ominous weather looming and the bluefin quota quickly filling, the pressure is on for the Northern and Southern boats to act fast or risk financial — or nautical — disaster. The Fishin Frenzy leads the fleet and Captain Greg Mayer uses his knowledge of the Carolina waters to head out early before the windy weather escalates.

A rivalry flares up between two top boats; a captain attempts to shake his losing streak; and a trip south must be paid for by hauling in more fish.

The captain of the Doghouse charters boat cruises for supplemental income while the rest of the fleet continue to compete for leadership of the scoreboard.

Wahoo leads the fleet, but local rival Fishin Frenzy and invader Pin Wheel are serious threats for the top spot. Hard Merchandise needs one more bluefin to make the expensive trip south profitable, while Doghouse and Hot Tuna fight to earn one final paycheck to salvage their seasons. When captain Greg Mayer of Fishin Frenzy receives the official call that the quota will close the next day at midnight, everyone races to catch more bluefin and reach the buyers in time to make the final sale.

After colliding with Bonner Bridge, Captain Marciano and Captain Griffin struggle to regroup. The boats are banged up, but it’s too early to tell whether they can salvage their seasons or if they’ll have to hang up their rods.

Fishin Frenzy have a slight lead over Reels of Fortune; Hot Tuna asks Reel Action for assistance; Doghouse is relying on their greenhorn to bring in the catch.

In North Carolina’s bluefin tuna fleet, family is at the forefront of the fight to fish hard and make money. On Fishin’ Frenzy, First Mate Nick Gowitzka faces a family emergency unfolding on land that tests his resolve on the water. And Captain Dave Marciano of Hard Merchandise draws on the support of his wife and daughter far away in Gloucester, Massachusetts, as well as a local family fishing operation to help him get through his slump.

With the North Carolina season coming to a close and Reels of Fortune battling Fishin’ Frenzy for the top spot, all of the crews desperately struggle to land a fish and secure a paycheck. The Reel Action crew fights to catch up but takes a serious blow when they snag a shark; Tyler and Paul lose a “monstah” paycheck; and Dave and the crew of Hard Merchandise attempt to finally end their dry spell, or they’ll have to cut the season short and head back to Gloucester.

It’s the final two days of the season, and three Southern boats — the Fishin’ Frenzy, the Reels of Fortune and the Doghouse — are all within striking distance of the top spot. As the clock ticks down, the captains are desperate to put meat on deck. The stakes have never been higher: one pulled hook means disaster, but one last catch can mean going home a champion.

As the bluefin season takes off, the treacherous waters of the Outer Banks claim another victim, and the Fishin’ Frenzy and Hot Tuna are first on the scene.

With the fishing migration in an unpredictable state, the captains resort to espionage for information but end up with more than they bargained for.

As the boats are now past the halfway point in the season, the pressure is on to catch enough bluefin tuna to become the No. 1 boat in the fleet.

The Outer Banks bites back as treacherous waters force captains to choose between chasing the fish at great risk, or waiting until conditions improve.

Each captain is desperate to bring in one last catch.

Captain TJ Ott is haunted by a terrifying accident at sea, and the Doghouse desperately tries to land its first fish of the season.

Now that reigning champion Fishin Frenzys Captain Greg Mayer got knocked off his throne, its anybodys game in the race for the top spot.

With two weeks left in the season, every captain in the fleet is feeling the pressure to bring in a bluefin and land a paycheck.

As time runs out, the captains fight to bring in their last catches. Greg Mayer has won the last three seasons. Can another captain defeat him?

The Southern crew of Reel E’ Bugging fights to prove its place in the competition after a dangerous setback and no bluefin on the leaderboard.

When a pair of brothers from the South challenge a brother/sister duo from the North for the top spot, the showdown in the Outer Banks becomes a full-blown sibling rivalry.

Extreme weather hits the Outer Banks; the Southern captains, accustomed to the dangerous conditions, believe they have a competitive edge, but the Northern captains are willing to do what it takes to put meat on deck.

Will the green stick continue to give the Little Shell an edge, or will the more traditional rod-and-reel rivals prove victorious in the long run?

Time is money as the captains fish for "blue gold," and when the costs of trying to bring home a bluefin pile up, some captains reevaluate if the benefits of tuna fishing outweigh the drawbacks.

As the top boats solidify their spots in the race, Greg and his mates cant seem to stay in sync, and the former champion boat starts to fall apart.

Captain Dave Carraro of the FV-Tuna.com lives up to his "Tricky Dave" reputation when the fleet begins to doubt him after a few sneaky moves.

As the quota fills up, the captains must decide if skill or luck is in their favor in order to pull ahead in the competition.

The fleet communicates in order to find the fish, but some boats have to follow every lead they hear about, if they want to turn their season around.

The long, cold winter has just hit New England, and while the bluefin tuna season has come to an end in Gloucester, Mass., it’s just getting started in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. After a disappointing season, several of Gloucester’s top fishermen head south to try to salvage their finances by fishing for the elusive bluefin tuna in unfamiliar Carolina waters before the experienced locals beat them to the catch.

Another season begins, and the Captains are faced with some old hazards like fire on board and sinking, to new hazards like shifting sands and sunken wrecks, on their main routes out to the fishing grounds.

The fleet tries to take advantage of a wave of big fish. With bad weather working against them, the Rasta Rocket is having a hard time fishing, and struggles to keep up with the rest of the fleet.

The herds have arrived and for every fisherman in the OBX, this means its about to be mayhem. A big body of fish brings lower bluefin demand, so its a race to see who can get a fish before prices dwindle. There is good news for the fleet as a quota extension is announced, which means despite the larger sized fish caught so far this season, the fleet will have more time to make paychecks before the season ends.

While the fleet is docked due to bad weather, one boat takes a chance to get ahead, but facing fog, wind, and high seas, could spell disaster for the attempt.

With the Outer Banks blue fin season half over, Southern hospitality helps one Captain, as the rest of the fleet go all out to hook as many fish as possible.

Halfway through the season and another storm front pushing in is starting to put all the fleet under pressure.

With the quota filling up, fishing season in the OBX could end at any moment and the tension on every boat in the fleet is at an all-time high.
