TYLER MCLAUGHLIN: Woo! Alright!
Let's go, baby!
NARRATOR: It's the final day
of the season.
JOE MARCIANO: Last day of the season here,
so we need to get lucky and land this one.
NARRATOR: And the title is up for grabs.
JARRETT PRZYBYSZEWSKI: We need this fish
more than you could possibly imagine.
NARRATOR: With nearly every boat still in contention.
PAUL HEBERT: It's a tight race.
MICHELLE BANCEWICZ: This is our last day, girl.
We got to get it done.
NARRATOR: The last 24 hours
-will determine... -JACK: Woo!
DAVE MARCIANO: We need a good fish
if we're gonna stay in the competition.
-NARRATOR: ...who... -TYLER: Let's go!
-This is the real deal. -NARRATOR: ...is...
-MICHELLE: Feel the burn. -NARRATOR: ...the...
LANCE SISTARE: Got him on! We're on!
-NARRATOR: ...GOAT. -TYLER: Big bite.
NARRATOR: This is...
TJ OTT: Get it! On my right. On my right!
-BOB COOK: TJ, move! -MANNY PEREIRA: TJ!
TYLER: Last day of fishing. Let's go!
NARRATOR: ...Wicked Tuna.
TYLER: It's the last day of the year.
We got to make it happen.
NARRATOR: The season of the GOAT
is the most competitive ever.
Wicked Pissah leads the fleet
with Time Flies, Dot Com,
Pinwheel, Hot Tuna and Fat Tuna
all within ten thousand dollars of the top spot.
Meanwhile, with big prices expected
as the season comes to a close,
new team No Limits
and veteran boat Hard Merchandise
remain contenders.
(seagulls squawking)
MANNY (off screen): Here we go! Woo!
BOB (off screen): Last day of the season.
We're headed right back down to Chatham.
We need a big tuna to win this thing.
It all comes down to one day. One day, baby.
We wanna be back-to-back champs.
Hopefully, we can make it happen.
TJ (off screen): Last day, baby. We got to make it count.
Just leaving Gloucester harbor and my theory is
if we can get down towards the Regal Sword in the dark,
the way the moon is just gonna come up,
I think we'll find these fish in the dark.
This is our last chance to make a paycheck
and our last chance to prove that we're the GOAT.
MARISSA MCLAUGHLIN (off screen): Let's go get it done.
We got this.
TYLER: This is the last day of the season.
I mean, this is crunch time for us.
We've got to make this happen. We've got to catch a fish.
We have no choice. Got to catch one.
We're staying close to home.
I think that's the best way to prove I'm the GOAT.
We just got to get it done.
MARISSA (off screen): We're ready to go.
MICHELLE (off screen): It's 6:13. We're leaving.
We're gonna go find our spot
and make it happen.
We need a monster to give ourselves a shot,
and I think our best chance of getting one
is sticking close to home.
That's our plan.
DAVE CARRARO: Okay, guys. We'll go out, we'll hit it hard.
This is it. We have just over 24 hours to get it done.
We get a big one, a hundred plus inch,
that'll keep us in the game.
Got to go big sometimes.
JACK PATRICAN (off screen): Right around 12:45.
We're pushing off here.
Everybody and their brother is gonna be out there
trying to get that one last fish.
Um, you know, the prices are gonna be really good today
just because the market knows
there's not gonna be anymore bluefin coming on to it.
We're headed to Stellwagen,
and we're only a few thousand dollars off the lead.
So we feel like we have a good shot
at taking home the trophy.
MARCIANO (off screen): All clear. Here we go.
We're headed right back to the general area
where we've gotten fish all season, Jeffreys Ledge.
We're still in the game here.
If we could get a big enough fish,
it's gonna have to be a big, nice, high quality fish,
we could actually win this thing.
One last hurrah.
PAUL: Last day. It's a tight race.
Everyone's close. We're fishing.
We're making the steam to Chatham to secure our lead.
The competition is ours to lose,
but we are still gonna need a big day
if we wanna finish in first place.
The whole fleet is gonna spread out
on the final day of fishing, and it's really anyone's game.
LANCE: We need to get that top spot.
(squawks)
BOB: We should probably just fire one down, John,
with some weight to a hundred.
JOHN KUSLER: Just here at the Regal Sword.
I'm just setting up for the day. The sun isn't up yet.
This is the last day of the season.
You know, this is for all the marbles.
Today is the day to make something happen.
TJ (on radio): Just marked one from 70 to 100.
We'll fire one down.
BOB: Yeah, we just marked a pair at 90.
TJ: Yeah, one hundred percent.
A wolf pack of 'em.
JARRETT: Got out here right before it got light out.
You got to sit here and watch
and wait for 'em to come under the boat,
otherwise you just get bit by a shark.
Come on, baby!
TJ: There's so much feed down there.
(monitor beeping)
There's one shooting up out the feed, get ready.
They're coming up out of the feed right now.
(monitor beeping)
Oh my god.
I can't believe it's not bending over.
(Jarrett laughs)
JARRETT: They're still coming, they're all over.
TJ: Bro, I got (bleep) one, two, three, four.
I, I can't believe we're not going off right now.
(on radio) I want to put another rod out.
BOB: We just legit saw one swim by the boat.
Right next to the boat.
TJ: I can't imagine what 5:00 a.m. is gonna look like.
That's a tuna, dude.
JARRETT: Look how tight those bait balls are.
It's insane.
Oh. They're getting weird now.
-(reel unspooling) -Oh! Oh!
(dogs barking)
-(line snaps) -Oh!
TJ:
Double shark.
JARRETT: Look at how high up he broke this off.
TJ: Alright, we learned our lesson.
JARRETT: He probably had two sharks on,
or one shark on both of them.
Something like that.
TJ: Yeah. Just hold it out for a minute
so you don't (bleep) your top shot up.
JARRETT: Go for it. Go for it.
There's another shark coming.
It could be a tuna.
TJ: Bro, you would've swore
there's tunas all over the screen.
JARRETT: He's shaking his head.
Maybe get a harpoon ready just in case.
TJ: I am. I am. I am.
JARRETT: He's acting sharky
but sometimes at night, it's tuna.
They act really weird.
TJ:
JARRETT: Woo-wee!
Back in action. Yeah!
TJ: We got him on, Bob.
(on radio) They're all over the screen.
(monitor beeping)
BOB: That looks like one.
That's definitely them.
That's exactly where he was marking.
(reel unspooling)
MANNY: Oh! We're on! We're on!
BOB: Oh, yeah! Oh, yeah!
We're on!
-MANNY: Yeah! -BOB: (bleep) yeah.
That's a good one.
JARRETT: Woo!
It's the last day of the season right now.
We need this fish more than you could possibly imagine.
TJ: We're fighting to be that top boat
at the top of the leaderboard.
Just got to pay attention, man,
and get the job done, baby.
HT is down and tight in the dark
on the Promised Land. Woo!
JOHN: Yeah, we got one on. I knew TJ was on.
And we started marking some fish,
but we weren't getting a bite and I checked the baits,
put it out.
Two seconds later, we're tight.
That's like after forward and reversing.
TJ: Swing him out.
Jarrett, swing him, swing him...
JARRETT:
TJ: ...swing him.
Watch here. Watch here.
JARRETT: He's still got life in him.
TJ: Tough night fighter.
JOHN: Is that Tim off our bow?
MANNY: Yeah, we got lights off the bow.
-Can we go starboard? -JOHN: Yeah, I know.
That's gonna be a problem.
BOB: Tell him on the, tell him on the radio
it's coming right at him.
MANNY: Hey, Tim, we're coming right at you.
TIM OTT, SR.: Am I in your way, Bob?
MANNY (on radio): Yeah, working our way out of here, buddy.
TIM: Which way do I go?
MANNY: If you, if you could go
to our port.
BOB: Manny, keep an eye out there.
MANNY: Yup. Yup.
JOHN: Here, you wanna jump in here?
BOB: Yeah, yeah.
JOHN: He's definitely moving, right?
-BOB: Alright, keep going. -MANNY: Are you guys moving yet?
TIM (on radio):
BOB: That boat isn't moving.
Are you sure it's Tim?
JOHN: Oh, that, that is, that is not him?
MANNY: (bleep)
I really thought that was him,
I don't, maybe it's not him.
I'm talking to him. I'm asking him to go east.
BOB: Yo! Yo!
We got one on here. You got to move.
JOHN: What's the matter?
MANNY: I don't know what they're doing.
JOHN: Oh, is that them? Is that TJ?
(bleep) TJ!
BOB: TJ, he's got to move!
JOHN: TJ, you got to move!
BOB: TJ, move!
JARRETT: Bump it forward.
Here, let me swing it, swing it.
TJ: Oh, it's him right there. There he is.
-JARRETT: There's a glow. -TJ: There's a glow.
JARRETT: There he is.
Alright, let's take our time here, guys.
TJ: Yeah. I don't want to do nothing stupid here.
BOB: TJ, you got to move!
Get on the radio.
MANNY: TJ, can you move?
-TJ, come back. -JOHN: You got to move.
BOB: TJ has to move.
JOHN: TJ, move!
MANNY: Please move, TJ.
BOB: TJ, move!
JARRETT: He's gonna, he's gonna make another loop.
He's going out. He's going counterclockwise.
TJ:
JARRETT: Bump, bump, bump, bump, bump, bump, bump, bump!
TJ: I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Sorry, sorry, sorry!
MIKE OTT: It's alright. Just take our time.
TJ: I didn't expect that.
MANNY: I don't think he can move.
JOHN: TJ!
BOB: TJ!
JARRETT: He's gonna go on my left.
My left. Get him on my left.
TJ: Yeah, go. Go, go, go, go, go!
JARRETT:
TJ: Get a gaff! On my right.
On my right. Up! Big (bleep) fish.
Get him in the head! Get him!
-Hurry the (bleep) up! -MIKE: Got him! Got him!
Get another gaff.
TJ: Get another gaff. Another gaff.
MIKE: Another gaff. Right in the tail. Right there, Jarrett.
TJ: On my, on my left, Jarrett. On my left.
Oh my god (bleep) big (bleep).
MIKE: Hells yeah! We got him, baby!
TJ: (bleep) yeah, baby! Woo!
MIKE: Yeah, Jarrett!
JARRETT: Woo!
MIKE: We (bleep)...
JOHN: I don't know what the (bleep) to do here.
(all cheering)
MIKE: Yeah!
Let's go home! Yeah.
BOB: TJ!
JOHN: TJ!
BOB: You got to move. TJ!
BOB (off screen): TJ!
MIKE:
JARRETT: Screaming, I don't know
if we're, like, running up on them or what?
-JOHN: TJ! -MIKE: You got no lights on.
JOHN: You got to move!
MIKE: Oh, they're up front.
Bob's hooked up.
TJ: Wait, are you on? Alright, where's your fish, tell me.
MIKE: Jarrett, he's got to go. Now Bob's hooked up right here.
BOB: Tell TJ he's got to move!
You guys got to go! You got to go!
JOHN: TJ, move out!
TJ:
I'm out of gear, John. I didn't know you were here.
MANNY: Which way you want him to go?
JOHN: Go to port!
-Port! -MANNY: Go to port.
Go to port, TJ. Go to port.
BOB: Just go. Go, go, go! Go!
-BOB: Alright! -JOHN: Yeah!
BOB: Alright.
You're good! Nice job, guys!
Alright, yeah, keep going to starboard.
MANNY: (bleep)
BOB: Okay. We're in the clear.
That was close.
MIKE (off screen): Here it comes, baby.
JARRETT: Alright, here it comes. Ready?
MIKE: Hells yeah.
JARRETT: I mean, what a way to end the season, dude.
TJ: We needed a big one.
JARRETT: We had to have a, look at that, dude.
That's a hundred- something-incher.
-TJ: Oh, it's big. -JARRETT: Yeah, baby! Woo!
MIKE: There he is.
TJ: Last one of the season, baby. Let's see what we got.
(Jarrett laughing)
JARRETT: One hundred on the button. Woo!
TJ: We knew that was a 100-incher, baby.
And we knew we needed a 100 inches.
-JARRETT: Hundred inches, baby. TJ: Good job, bubbe.
-JARRETT: Yeah! -MIKE: Good job, bubbe.
Good job. -JARRETT: Yeah!
Oh, that's a great feeling.
MIKE: Hells yeah.
MANNY: Got swivel right here.
But I don't got color.
Keep going if you can.
It's right here.
JOHN: Forward, forward, forward.
MANNY: There he is.
JOHN: Right here.
BOB: Boom! You plugged him.
MANNY: Going over your head. Going over your head.
JOHN: Forward.
Maybe another harpoon out for good measure.
BOB: Yes. Want me to hit him?
MANNY: Yup. Yup. Now!
JOHN: I don't know if that harpoon bounced.
MANNY: Tail rope! Tail rope!
BOB: Grab his tail.
-Got him, buddy? -MANNY: I got him. I got him.
Tail rope!
Fling.
Wrap him up, baby.
(Bob laughing)
BOB: Wrapped up!
MANNY: Woo!
-Yeah, baby! -JOHN: Wrapped up!
BOB: Yo, Hot Tuna.
BOB: Oh, what a season, bro.
We got a slob hanging, too.
(Bob laughs)
TJ: We just loaded him up.
(on radio) He's like a 500 dressed.
It's nice when a plan works out.
PAUL: Oh, it's so nice.
Nothing happening on this end.
(chuckles)
MANNY: Whoa!
(all laughing)
BOB: Look at the size of that thing.
Look at the size of him!
Way to finish it.
-MANNY: Yeah, baby! -BOB: Way to finish it.
Let's get a measurement on this thing, John.
MANNY: Alright, we ready?
BOB: Holy (bleep), it's 110.
MANNY: Is it really? One-ten?
BOB: One-ten. MANNY: One-ten, baby!
JOHN: That is on the meat.
BOB: What a way to end it.
We have no idea who won this thing.
We're hoping it's us.
It's coming right down to the last fish.
Right down to the last minute.
It's a little rough out,
so it's gonna be slow going getting home
and finding out if this fish is a winner.
MANNY: A hundred ten-incher. Woo!
DAVE (off screen): Sandro, we're gonna get one here today.
GEORDIE: You want another 150?
SANDRO: No, fish two for now.
GEORDIE: Oh, alright, I didn't know--
SANDRO: Trying to hopefully get
another herring.
DAVE: This has been another very consistent season
for us on the Dot Com,
and it's hard to believe it's almost over.
Like always, we didn't chase the bite.
We made decisions that were right for this boat,
and we put ourselves in a position to win.
Today, we decided to fish Southern Jeffreys
rather than run down to the Cape
because I thought that gave us
the best chance to get what we need.
But after hearing about Bob and TJ's fish,
I'm getting worried we zigged when we should've zagged.
SANDRO: We're gonna take our chances here.
And we're gonna hope for the best.
DAVE: No Limits, you on there, Michelle?
MICHELLE (off screen): Hey, Dave, what's up?
DAVE (on radio): Absolutely nothing.
I just hope we made the right decision
by not going to Chatham.
Those guys got 'em up in the dark this morning.
All big fish.
I don't know, I'd rather fish here.
This is where we do better.
MICHELLE: Yeah, I'm completely lost down there.
DAVE: Alright, good luck. Catch 'em up.
MICHELLE: We got to get a fish today.
That's it, got to do it.
TYLER (off screen): This is special.
Just the pressure's on. You just feel it.
It's the last day of fishing.
Other guys have already caught fish,
so we wanna see something good happen.
We had our rough patches on the Pinwheel this year,
but I feel really good about this season overall.
We gave it our best effort,
and we proved we can catch fish anywhere.
I know the rest of the fleet's got a problem
with the way I approach things, but I have no regrets
and I would love nothing more than to catch a jumbo
on the last day to prove I'm the GOAT.
There are the whales right in here.
I know Bob and TJ already caught this morning,
but we are fishing in my backyard
where we are very comfortable.
And Merm and I have shown time and time again
we are capable of anything.
Merm?
MARISSA: What?
TYLER: Get me weights.
(reel clicking)
MARISSA: Alright, whales everywhere.
Right beyond the rod and there's one right here.
Wherever the birds are,
it's usually where the whales are.
(monitor beeping)
MARISSA: They all blowing up--
Oh, we're on!
(reel unspooling)
TYLER: Alright! Let's go, baby!
Get on the rod, Merm.
Atta girl, Merm. Woo!
Last day of fishing. Let's go!
Big bite!
Dumping us.
Let's go! This is the real deal.
We're stretched out here. We got another boat here.
I don't know if he's tight or what he's doing,
but we got to walk this tuna out of this fleet.
Wind, Merm, wind!
You're doing great. You're doing great.
Just try and get out of this fleet.
One more boat to go.
Woo!
Passed those boats, Merm.
Alright. Let's try and get straight up and down.
That guy is tight right there in his center console.
Our fish are gonna get, like, wrapped up.
Reel him in. Reel him in.
MARISSA: Going straight for the center console.
Oh boy!
MARISSA: Tyler, want to take a crank
and feel what I feel?
Do you feel it?
TYLER: Uh, yeah, I think this is tuna.
MARISSA:
TYLER: We don't have him yet.
They touched, if they, if these two lines touched us and him,
we'll lose the fish so fast.
MARISSA: I don't know, this kind of felt like
when we got caught in the lobster gear.
TYLER: I think that's because he's tail wrapped,
and I think it's his tail beating on the rod.
The good news is we're not caught
on the other guy's line like Merm thought.
The bad news is the fish is tail wrapped.
So the longer it's out there swimming around,
the more likely it is
that the tail will cut the line
and we'll lose the fish.
Here we go, back to the mono, Merm.
Back to the mono.
This ninja tuna.
I wanna put him to bed.
It's the last day of the year. We got to make it happen.
He's pulling. He's pulling.
MARISSA: Tuna. Tuna.
Tuna.
TYLER: Oh (bleep), Merm!
(Tyler grunts)
Tail rope!
Pull it tight!
-MARISSA: Got him. -TYLER: Woo! Yes!
-Yes! -MARISSA: Woo!
TYLER: Woo! Way to go, sis!
MARISSA: Nice!
TYLER: Pinwheel, baby.
Let's get ready! Let's bring him aboard.
So pumped right now.
(winch whirring)
Perfect!
MARISSA: Woo!
TYLER: Yeah! Last one of the season.
-Look at that nice one. -MARISSA: Woo!
TYLER: Let's measure this thing.
What do you got?
MARISSA: Eighty-seven.
TYLER: This is the perfect fish.
Last day of the season and we just finished out with a bang.
We're gonna get paid top dollar for this thing.
We still got a real shot of winning this thing, Merm.
PAUL (off screen): Alls it takes is one little area
and you're in them, you know?
Alright. I need a big, I need big bands to...
-LANCE: What size? -PAUL: ...to hold the balloon.
One big band to hold the balloon.
This season has been
all about redemption on the Wicked Pissah.
And win or lose, I can proudly say
I am a changed man.
Finishing in first place would be the cherry on top.
But we're gonna need another catch
to keep the lead.
We need a fish soon,
because we got a 100-mile steam
back to Gloucester,
and we've got to be at the dock by 11:30.
That's the deadline.
After that, the buyers won't accept any more fish.
Did you see which way we were drifting?
LANCE: I can't tell.
(monitor beeping)
Look at that (bleep).
PAUL: That's a mark.
(monitor beeping)
(reel clicking)
-(reel unspooling) -PAUL: We're on!
LANCE: Got him on! We're on!
Shark?
PAUL: I don't know.
But you know what I mean, eh?
Maybe?
Probably bit us right off.
LANCE: Cape Cod woes.
PAUL: That's called a shark.
LANCE: Really sucks.
TYLER (off screen): Moment of truth, Merm.
Here we go.
-Yo, yo, Dennis! -DENNIS: Yes.
TYLER: Look at the GOAT, dude.
DENNIS: Oh, that's awesome.
TYLER: Dudley the GOAT.
DENNIS: What did you catch this time?
MARISSA: We got a nice 87-incher.
DENNIS: Oh, you got a big one this time?
-Alright. -MARISSA: Yes.
DENNIS: Well, let's check it out.
-See what you got. -MARISSA: Yeah.
TYLER: This has been a very interesting season
on the new Pinwheel.
And how it ends
all comes down to this fish.
To have a shot at winning,
we're going to need this fish
to be a diamond.
That means Dennis is gonna need
to see excellent color,
a lot of fat, and a clear core.
So we're hoping for the best.
MARISSA: What's the dress weight, Dennis?
DENNIS: Two hundred and seventy five pounds dressed, Merm.
TYLER: Healthy fish. Nice package.
DENNIS: Come on up. Let's take a look.
TYLER: Way to end it.
DENNIS: Finished up the season with a pretty nice fish.
TYLER: Awesome. That's how we want it.
DENNIS: I'm showing pretty nice fat here,
solid in the minor lobes,
and it's getting started into the majors a little bit.
Tail color is not perfect, but it's good enough.
If we get a nice core here,
you're gonna get a really good price.
The core's a little bit light,
but it's also nice and clear too.
MARISSA: Yes, it's very clear.
TYLER: Yes, so it's definitely on the light side.
It's a good-looking fish.
A good size. It's not a mambo-jambo.
But, man, we should be able to get paid for it, right, D-bone?
DENNIS: I'm gonna pay you guys $19 a pound
-TYLER: Woo! Awesome. -MARISSA: We'll take it.
TYLER: Way to go, Merm. Thanks, D-bone.
-DENNIS: Nice season. -MARISSA: Thank you.
DENNIS: Thank you very much for your business.
MARISSA: Thank you.
TYLER: $19 a pound is not a bad price,
but it's not close to what we needed
to finish out on top.
Still, I'm proud of the work
that Merm and I put in this season.
Next year, Pinwheel's coming back strong.
No excuses, we're gonna leave everyone in our dust.
We're still the GOAT in my book.
JASON MUENZNER:
MARCIANO: We can try that.
I'm down for trying that.
JASON: I, I just picked something up.
MARCIANO: It's the last day of the season
and so far we've had no luck in getting a fish to bite.
JOE: Just gonna get ready to throw some chum.
MARCIANO: We are well aware
that it's gonna take a monster
to even have a chance at that top spot.
But even if we don't catch a jumbo,
if we can get one more fish after the challenges
we went through this year,
that'll be just great for us.
I get to fish with my son Joe and my nephew Jay.
And that's a true measure of success in my book.
JASON: The trick to chumming
is you don't wanna throw too much.
Because then you're just letting the chum just sink behind you.
The theory is
you're trying to build a staircase
or a chain to suck 'em up.
This is all gonna make more sense
if a tuna fish shows up.
JOE: Now we're chumming.
-(monitor beeping) -JOE: Hell yeah.
MARCIANO: There's one on the screen, boys.
Now, we just got to get him to bite.
(reel unspooling)
JOE: Oh, here we go.
Here we go, guys.
MARCIANO: Here we go! That's him!
JOE: Yeah, buddy!
MARCIANO: Wind on it. Wind on it.
MARCIANO: That's him! There we go.
We're on!
(reel creaking)
JOE (off screen): Last day of the season here,
so we need to get lucky and land this one.
Time's running out. There he is.
MARCIANO: We need a good fish
if we're gonna stay in the competition.
And this fish is acting like a pretty decent one,
so hopefully we can make it happen.
JASON: I just got gloves on, Joe.
-JOE: Ready? -JASON: Yeah.
MARCIANO: Good job, Joe.
JASON: Good job.
It's a definite tuna fish.
Headshakes like a (bleep).
MARCIANO: How we doing there, Jay?
-Good? You good? -JASON: Yeah!
Sinker!
JOE: Yup.
JASON: Headshakes, the tail.
That's a tuna.
MARCIANO: Might surprise you and take off, Jay.
Be ready.
JASON: Forward bump. One more bump.
Straight.
It's tuna! Bump it. Bump it.
Out of gear?
Be ready, Joe.
Hit him. Hit him. Hit him!
JOE: Got a piece on him.
JASON: Bump it! Right at you!
-MARCIANO: Got him? You got him? -JOE: Yup.
JASON: Joe got a piece of him.
MARCIANO: Alright.
Good job, boys. Good job!
JASON: Good shot, Joe.
MARCIANO: Clean shot. Nice one, Joe. Yeah!
JASON: Good shot, Joe. Right on your right side after.
JOE: Alright. Here we go.
JASON: Not much but you're good.
MARCIANO: Here we go, boys.
JOE: Tail rope. Nice job.
MARCIANO: Yup. Right here.
-JOE: Hell yeah. -MARCIANO: Yeah!
JASON: Yeah! Got him, guys!
-Yeah! -JOE: Yeah!
MARCIANO: Alright! We did it!
-JASON: Yeah! -MARCIANO: Mission accomplished.
Boom!
We just strapped one up there, 77 or so.
We'll take it.
We're not gonna run away from them.
BOB: Nice. Nice. They got one.
Over 30 inches shorter than ours though.
DAVE: Merch just got one.
I wish it was us.
TJ: Hard Merch got a fish.
BOB (on radio): Yo, T?
TJ: Yeah.
BOB: The (bleep) thing is 110.
TJ (on radio): Yeah, I thought ours was up there.
Ours is probably 450,
475 dressed.
BOB: This thing's a barrel.
What a way to end it.
JASON: One, two, three.
-(Marciano chuckles) -JOE: You alright?
JASON: What do we got, guys? What do you guys think?
MARCIANO: Let's see.
JASON: What do you got?
MARCIANO: I got 78 here.
-JOE: Awesome. -MARCIANO: We'll take it.
JOE: Yeah!
MARCIANO: Great way to end the season, boys.
-Great going. Great going. -JOE: Good fish, guys.
MARCIANO: Great dart shot, son.
You're getting pretty damn good at that.
A lot of adversity for us this year,
but we made it through.
PJ, what's going on, my friend?
PATRICK J. MEAD (off screen): How we doing?
Got one on the last day?
MARCIANO: Got one on the last day.
We were hoping for a bigger one,
but it's still a nice one.
PATRICK: Nice, guys. Way to go.
Let's, uh, lift it up and see what we can do for you.
MARCIANO: Sounds good. Sounds good.
Between having to say goodbye
to my dad
and having my own health issues,
this has been the most difficult season
the Hard Merch has ever had.
Nice way to end the season. Nice quality package.
Realistically, this fish isn't big enough
to put us in the mix for that top spot,
but like I always say,
you can't control what bites the hook.
And if we could get a good price on it,
it would be a great way to end
such a challenging season.
JASON: Can I hit the button today?
PATRICK: Oh, yeah.
JASON: Today, you can ask me,
-"What's it weigh?" -(Marciano chuckles)
MARCIANO: What's the final weight?
JASON: Hundred and ninety-two pounds dressed.
-That's a great fish. -MARCIANO: Great way to end the season.
JASON: Let's, uh, cut a steak
and see what it looks like.
MARCIANO: Sounds good to me, man.
JASON: Sorry. Sorry.
-PATRICK: That was awesome. -JOE: Hey, Jay,
are you gonna give the price to us today, too?
-JASON: That's out of my league. -JOE: Oh, alright.
Let's go see what it's worth.
PATRICK: Check it out.
MARCIANO: Alright. Here we go.
JOE: What do we got?
MARCIANO: Last fish of the season now,
-come on. -PATRICK: Last one.
MARCIANO: It's got to be a good one, right?
PATRICK: I mean, it's a small fish.
-MARCIANO: Right, right. -PATRICK: They're easy to move.
You know, nice beautiful color.
It's got some fat to it. It's not right loaded, but...
MARCIANO: What can you do for us?
PATRICK: It's a solid fish, Dave.
This fish here with that size...
...$21 a pound.
MARCIANO: Nice. Alright. We'll take it.
-JASON: That's a good score. -MARCIANO: Great way to end.
Love you both, alright?
-JOE: Yeah. -PATRICK: Way to go, guys.
Thank you for all the fish.
MARCIANO: Alright. Thank you.
PATRICK: See you guys next year.
MARCIANO: Yeah, we'll see you next year
for sure, thank you.
PATRICK: Keep catching 'em. Thank you, guys.
-MARCIANO: Alright. -PATRICK: Later on.
MARCIANO: I'm proud of you, boys.
NICHOLAS: Is the bait well off?
JACK: No.
NICHOLAS: It, it's off.
JACK:
NICHOLAS: Yup.
JACK: We started off the day
only a few thousand dollars off the lead
but with a bunch of boats in the fleet already catching,
our path to the top has just got a lot harder.
Last year, we finished
only a hundred dollars short of the top spot,
because we didn't catch on the last day.
And I'm determined not to let that happen again.
NICHOLAS: Looks good right there. A lot of birds.
JACK:
(monitor beeping)
JACK:
NICHOLAS: Yeah.
JACK: Woo! Tied up, baby!
NICHOLAS: Atta boy, Jack.
Hopefully, we can keep this one on, man.
Neutral.
JACK: Alright. Get a glove.
We're about to pull off
the impossible.
NICHOLAS: Big wave!
JACK: I'm going at him.
NICHOLAS: He's gonna come at us hard.
JACK: That's good.
Settle in.
NICHOLAS:
JACK: Coming.
Just keep going right to it.
Nice! Catch him!
NICHOLAS: There he is.
JACK: Yeah, I'm right here.
NICHOLAS: Coming up on the surface.
JACK: We can't afford to lose this fish.
NICHOLAS: He's probably barely hooked in the tail.
JACK: Oh, yeah, he's just barely hooked, huh?
NICHOLAS: Yeah.
JACK: Here, go ahead, pull, pull here.
Let me tie him.
Oh my god! That is lucky right there.
JACK:
NICHOLAS: Wanna just pull him in
as quick as possible?
JACK: Let's see if he's big enough.
NICHOLAS: One, two, three.
JACK:
-NICHOLAS: Is that it? -JACK: Yeah.
NICHOLAS:
-JACK: What is it? -NICHOLAS: Seventy-seven.
-JACK: Okay. We're going home. -NICHOLAS: Yup.
JACK: Keeper. Yeah.
NICHOLAS: That's the season right there.
-JACK: That's it. -NICHOLAS: Woo.
NICHOLAS: Got him, baby. We got him.
JACK: Man, I'm not really happy,
but, well, I'm happy.
I'm sorry. I'm happy.
I just hope it's big enough
to push us over the top.
This is it, Nick. Here we go.
PATRICK: How we doing, boys?
JACK: Doing good.
PATRICK: Got another one on the last day?
JACK: Yeah.
You know, not the biggest fish,
but, hey, you can't choose which ones bite the hook, right?
PATRICK: Alright, boys.
Well, let's check this package out.
-See what we can get. -JACK: Alrighty.
We accomplished our goal of catching a fish
on the last day of the season
and giving ourselves a shot at coming out on top.
Unfortunately, this fish is smaller
than what we would have liked,
so we're gonna need a big price to make up for it.
After falling just short last year,
it would be a real bummer for history to repeat itself.
Alright, PJ. What do we got today?
PATRICK: Small one today, Jack.
One sixty-three dressed.
JACK: Alright. We'll take that.
PATRICK: Let's check it out. See what we can do.
JACK: Alrighty.
PATRICK: This is a pretty decent fish, you know?
It's small, easy to move.
It does have some pretty decent fat to it.
PATRICK: The core is a little bit off here.
You can see it's a little mushy.
But, you know, these fish,
the demand is really high right now.
JACK: Yeah. What do you think you can do for us?
PATRICK: This fish here...
-...$19 a pound, Jack. -JACK: Alright.
We'll take that for sure.
-Thank you, PJ. -PATRICK: Alright, boys.
Yeah, good season.
-JACK: Yeah. -NICHOLAS: Thank you, PJ.
PATRICK: See what happens the rest of the day.
You never know, you could be ringing some bells later.
JACK: Yeah, see how things play out, you know?
Um, our goal was to come out there
and catch as many fish as we could,
and we feel like we accomplished that, so...
PATRICK: Nice. Thank you for the fish.
We'll see you guys next season.
JACK: Alright, thank you.
Pleasure doing business with you.
PATRICK: Yeah, take care.
NICHOLAS: Have a good one, PJ.
PATRICK: Later on.
JACK: Nineteen dollars is a good price for this fish.
It's just enough to push us past the Wicked Pissah
and into that top spot.
Great season, Nick. Way to finish with a bang.
NARRATOR: Time Flies' twelfth fish of the season
moves them into first place,
while Pinwheel and Hard Merchandise's
final tallies seal their fate.
But with Fat Tuna and Hot Tuna yet to weigh in,
and Wicked Pissah, Dot Com,
and No Limits still on the water,
the competition remains up for grabs.
(squawks)
MICHELLE: This is our last day, girl.
We got to get it done. Find the best one there.
LEA: Is this one alright?
MICHELLE: Yeah. Why not?
We're running out of time to catch a fish
on the last day of the season.
And we've got one last chance to make something happen.
Today hasn't gone as planned
but we have fought all season to prove we belong,
and we are not gonna stop now.
DAVE (on radio): Hey, Michelle.
MICHELLE: Watch this for a minute, if you can.
DAVE: Can you hear me, Michelle?
MICHELLE: Yeah, Dave. What's up?
DAVE: I got one at a hundred feet
ripping through the herring here, right now.
Nice big slob.
A hundred feet.
Hundred twenty, 120.
MICHELLE: Alright, sounds good.
I got, I got the line going down now.
Okay.
We have had a very solid season
on the No Limits
but if we could get one more paycheck
and finish the season strong,
that would mean everything to us.
Twelve.
Twenty.
Feels like it's pulling it pretty quick.
Did I hook up?
Yeah, we did. Alright, can you reel?
We got him, Dave.
DAVE: No way.
Come on, go get 'em!
The girls just hooked up.
MICHELLE: I'm gonna turn and get him
out of here, okay?
LEA: Yup.
Yeah, it's a big one, Michelle. It's a big one.
MICHELLE: Do you wanna jump on this?
LEA: Yeah.
MICHELLE: Okay. Go ahead.
LEA: Situation. Reel, reel, reel!
MICHELLE: Can you see the splashing over there?
LEA: Yup.
MICHELLE: He's just hanging on top.
LEA: Yup.
-MICHELLE: Lea? -LEA: What?
MICHELLE: You see this.
We need to clear these boats so we don't get tangled.
-MICHELLE: Lea. -LEA: Yup.
MICHELLE: Come on!
MICHELLE: Lea, turn the boat.
Once we're past the blue boat,
we're good.
LEA: Yup.
MICHELLE: Alright.
Lea, I think we're a safe distance.
LEA: Okay.
MICHELLE: Woo.
Feel the burn.
We're on a roll. See what we can do.
I know he's getting tired.
So painful watching the rod bend like that.
Oh my god.
LEA: Yeah, it's a big one.
MICHELLE: I just hope our equipment holds up.
We need a fish.
Not too far.
LEA: Yeah, oh good.
-(line snaps) -MICHELLE: Ah.
-Reel, reel! -MICHELLE: You (bleep) kidding me?
It popped. It's gone.
LEA: I see that.
MICHELLE: I don't get it.
Losing a fish like this is the last way
we wanted our season to end.
All we can do is learn from it though
and hopefully come back stronger next year.
Oh, that sucks that we lost that.
PAUL (off screen): Well, Lance. That's it.
Because we're in Chatham,
time has run out for us.
LANCE: As TJ would say, "Some days you're the dog,
and some days you're the hydrant."
SANDRO (off screen): Last time home for the year.
Bittersweet.
Actually more bitter than sweet.
DAVE: We haven't marked a fish in three hours,
and there are no more tide changes.
That's a tough way to end it.
BOB: We're headed in now with our final fish
of the season,
and it's a, it's a whopper.
With how this last day has played out,
it all comes down to us and the Hot Tuna.
TJ: I definitely have some anxiety.
I'm definitely a little nervous.
There's no doubt about it.
But I'm pretty confident if there's ever a year to win,
it's the year of the GOAT.
BOB: What a way to end it.
This just might be big enough to win it.
-What's up, buddy? -PATRICK: How we doing, boys?
-Got a sea monster today, I hear. -BOB: Yes, sir.
PATRICK: Let's see what we can get out of this thing.
BOB: Alright, man. Let's see how big it is.
PATRICK: Alright, let's do it.
(winch whirring)
BOB: Going into the day, we knew we needed
an absolute monster
to have a shot at repeating as champs,
and that's exactly what we have coming off the boat right now.
This is the biggest fish we've caught all season.
A hundred and ten inches.
And if we get a good price for it,
we'll be in prime position
to become only the second boat in history
to win back-to-back seasons.
What do we got for weight, PJ?
PATRICK: Five hundred and thirty-six dressed.
JOHN: Yeah, there we go.
Woo! We'll take that one. Last fish of the season.
PATRICK: Alright, let's check it out, see what we can get.
BOB: Alright, man. Let's see.
Alright, final one. Final one.
Big paycheck, big money. Come on.
PATRICK: Well, I think you're in pretty good shape.
Nice looking fish, guys. I mean, beautiful color.
It could use a little more fat in the majors,
but when it chills down that'll, you know,
the fat will come out a little bit better.
Got nice fat up here along the skin.
Core is beautiful, especially on a big fish.
BOB: Depending on what you give us here,
this could be the winning fish, so...
PATRICK: This is a really solid fish, Bob. I like it.
I'm gonna get you...
...$20 dollars a pound.
MANNY: Alright. Yeah, buddy!
-JOHN: We'll take that. -BOB: Hell yeah.
-PATRICK: Nice, boys. -JOHN: Yeah.
-Thank you. -PATRICK: Good job.
BOB: We wish we could bring you another one tomorrow,
but this is it, buddy.
This is it. We'll see you next year.
PATRICK: Sounds good. Well, way to go, guys.
-MANNY: Thank you. -BOB: Pray for us.
-To the tuna gods. -PATRICK: Tuna gods.
BOB: Alright, see you next season.
-JOHN: We'll see you later. -PATRICK: Later on, boys.
BOB: Despite being in the middle of the pack
to start the day,
we're now sitting in first place.
We're ecstatic about that,
but it all depends
on what Hot Tuna's fish looks like.
TJ (off screen): What's shaking, PJ?
PATRICK: How we doing, boys?
JARRETT: Doing great.
TJ: This fish is the big question mark, man.
We got to get him up there and pray he's the one.
PATRICK: Well, let's lift her up and see what we got here.
TJ: Alright, brother.
Catching our thirteenth fish on the last day of the season
is exactly what we needed to give ourselves a chance
at winning that title.
But the rest of the fleet hasn't made it easy.
If we're gonna win this thing,
we're gonna need one of our best prices
of the season.
What we got, PJ?
PATRICK: You got 382 pounds dressed.
-JARRETT: Alright. -TJ: We needed a bigger one, man.
This is the one, brother.
PATRICK: Let's check it out, TJ. See what we got.
MIKE: Sounds good, PJ.
TJ: There's a big question mark over this one, man.
PATRICK: Oh, yeah, it's coming down to the wire here.
TJ: Totally. Totally.
PATRICK: Well. you got a nice fish here, you know.
Beautiful cherry core.
Nice red tail.
Loaded with fat. The color is beautiful.
TJ: I mean, listen, these other guys landed fish
and Bob had a big fish, so...
It's a big question mark over this one, man.
PATRICK: TJ, on this on here.
Beautiful core, beautiful color.
I'm gonna get you $22 a pound.
-TJ: Yeah! -MIKE: Yeah, boys.
-JARRETT: Good job, yeah! -MIKE: Good job.
-TJ: Thank you, PJ, man. -PATRICK: Yeah, buddy.
-MIKE: Thanks so much, man. -PATRICK: Way to go, boys.
JARRETT: PJ, you're the man.
Thank you so much, man. Thank you.
TJ: Well, I'd like to say we're gonna turn and burn,
but we're gonna go home for some much-needed rest, man.
-We'll see you soon, pal. -PATRICK: Alright, buddy.
TJ: Let's go to dinner, buddy. See ya.
PATRICK: Yes, sir. Way to go, boys.
NARRATOR: Hot Tuna's most valuable bluefin of the season
earns them the title of the GOAT
as Fat Tuna's comeback falls a mere $218 short.
Meanwhile, catches from Time Flies, Pinwheel,
and Hard Merchandise
end their season on a high note
as one of the tightest races
in Wicked Tuna history concludes.
TJ: It's incredible to know
that we're the champs this season.
You know, we worked hard all year long.
And we knew that if we persevered
and we just stuck to our program,
we would be the top boat, and now we are.
Hot Tuna is the GOAT. Pa-pow!
BOB (off screen): Well, guys, that's a wrap
on another season.
Didn't get back-to-back championships,
but man, oh, man did we come close.
NICHOLAS (off screen): It's a wrap.
I hate to see it go,
but we had a great season.
JACK: Next year, my money's on us, alright?
NICHOLAS: Absolutely, it was a great year.
-Thank you. -JACK: Great year.
DAVE (off screen): That's it. That's a wrap.
I mean, everybody did pretty well,
but TJ did the best.
They were the GOATS.
I think another winner that everybody
should really take note of is Paul.
-SANDRO: A hundred percent. -GEORDIE: He's a new man.
-DAVE: He is. -LANCE: I'm proud of you, man.
You really have changed a lot. And I really do appreciate that.
PAUL: Redemption equals payday, baby.
-(Lance laughing) -Right?
(laughs)
MARCIANO (off screen): That's a wrap.
Another successful season.
We had our own set of challenges,
but we made it work.
Going a quarter of the distance those other guys did.
But, you know, to me,
the money doesn't even matter,
it's the memories that we got to share
thinking about my dad.
LEA: All in all, I think we did pretty good.
MICHELLE: Yeah, we did alright.
We did, you know, this was our first year.
I think next year is gonna be even better.
I wanna work harder, and I want to step it up.
TYLER (off screen): In the season of the GOAT,
TJ won, you know.
He can go fish anywhere,
and he can be the top boat when he gets there.
As far as I'm concerned, I think I got to cleanse myself
because we did pretty good this year,
but we just fell short at the end.
So I think I'm gonna have a little, a little dip.
MARISSA: Okay.
TYLER: Great season, Merm.
MARISSA: We had a great season.
You go cleanse yourself.
TYLER: See ya at the scales.
MARISSA: I'll get the life ring.
TJ: We got it done, man. We're the top boat.
There's no better season to do it.
I mean, everything was against us this year
with all the restrictions and the shutdowns
and I mean, after last year, we needed a strong season.
But this year wasn't an easy season.
And to do as well as we did, so good job, everybody.
TIM: Woo. Nice job. Alright!
JARRETT: Yeah!
-TJ: Good job. -JARRETT: Yeah!
-(goat bleating) -BOB: Hey, TJ.
Got something for you, buddy.
TJ: What (bleep)
(laughter)
BOB: It's a changing of the guard
-in the form of a goat, buddy. -TJ: What is this?
What do you want me to do with this guy?
BOB: It's a goat for the GOAT.
TJ: I don't know if my Rottweilers are gonna like him.
-BOB: Greatest Of All Time. -TJ: Thanks, buddy.
-I'll see you. -BOB: Alright.
-TJ: See ya, pal. -BOB: See ya later.
TJ: Wait, you really leaving me with this?
BOB: Yeah, I'm leaving you with him.
-TJ: You staying with me, buddy? -BOB: Mackerel and herring.
That's what they eat.
CHRIS: What do you got there, a goatweiler?
-TIM: See ya later, Bob. -BOB: See ya later.
-CHRIS: Bobby. -BOB: Congrats, guys.
Greatest Of All Time team right there.
JARRETT: He's got a life jacket on.
You wanna be a part of our crew, buddy?
TIM: He's got a beard like Michael.
-TJ: He does, yeah. -TIM: ZZ Top.
Yeah, he wants out of here.
TJ: He wants to go for a walk.
Now we got to clean up goat poop.
-JARRETT (laughing): Yeah. -(goat bleats)
