Wicked Tuna: Outer Banks

It’s opening day of the bluefin tuna season in the Outer Banks, and a reduced quota means there’s more pressure than ever to land a fish.

Less than a week into a new season of bluefin fishing in the Outer Banks, the Southern fleet dominates. But the Northern boats will not retreat.

A huge herd of bluefin hits Southern waters and boats take big risks to land fish. Bad luck strikes one, but the smallest boat lands its biggest fish.

Fishing hard for their families, the Little Shell puts it all on the line and the Doghouse fights to land a foul-hooked fish with a Hail Mary harpoon shot.

With nearly one-quarter of the quota caught, the competition between North and South hurdles into maximum overdrive in the battle for blue gold.

Northern and Southern boats battle for the top-earning title, while one boat’s bad luck has it desperate to catch its first fish of the season.

A Southern Captain leads the charge against the top-earning Northern boat with the biggest fish of the season, but big fish bring big problems.

When a shoulder injury takes out top Captain Greg Mayer of the Fishin’ Frenzy, the rest of the fleet sees an opportunity to take the lead.

After four uninspired seasons in the Outer Banks, Captain TJ Ott has something to prove, while the Fishin’ Frenzy fights for the title without a captain.

Captain Greg Mayer returns to the helm of the Fishing Frenzy, despite battling a painful shoulder injury.

With a limited number of days left to fish, Captain Tyler McLaughlin chooses between big risk and big reward.

Captain Greg Mayer of the Fishin’ Frenzy is barely holding onto his lead, and the other captains are determined to knock him out of the top spot.

There are just 48 hours left before the season ends, and the battle to be the top-earning boat in the Outer Banks heats up.
