1 The First Fish Is the Hardest
3/12/17
It’s opening week of the North Atlantic bluefin tuna season, and for the fishermen of Gloucester, Massachusetts, summer promises the chance for lucrative paydays. The first fish of the season can bring big money and bragging rights for the captain who lands it. Old rivals and a new competitor will battle for the No. 1 spot on the leaderboard. The race is on, and no one’s going down without a fight.
2 Trials & Tunalations
3/19/17
The pressure is on for Captain Paul Hebert to land his first tuna. After the Wicked Pissah’s great season last year, many attributed Paul’s success to the skill of his first mate Brad Krasowski, now the captain of his own vessel and Paul’s competition. As the other captains in the fleet choose sides, Paul vows to do everything he can to make a name for himself and prove his critics wrong.
3 Bluefin Brotherhood
3/26/17
It’s a long-standing tradition in commercial fishing to treat other fishermen with respect, but not every captain plays by the rules. A good deed by Captain Tyler McLaughlin earns the Pinwheel some positive karma. Meanwhile, Captain Dave Carraro, frustrated with the FV-Tuna.com’s dry spell, resorts to desperate measures. But what goes around comes around.
4 Who Needs a Captain?
4/2/17
Regardless of whether a captain’s crew is made up of family, friends, longtime partners or greenhorns — the quality of the mates can make or break a season. This year, regulations allow commercial bluefin fishermen to bring in up to five fish per trip, and one boat makes a historic haul that could change the outcome of the entire season.
5 The Ego Has Landed
4/9/17
After his mates succeed without him, Captain Dave Carraro finds himself questioning his own abilities, and lashing out at others as a result. He’s desperate for an opportunity to redeem himself in the eyes of the fleet, his crew and, most of all, himself. And Captain Paul Hebert doubles down on his efforts to train his rookie mate, but his hardline methods could make matters worse.
6 Doldrums and Dog Days
4/16/17
It’s the midpoint of the Atlantic bluefin tuna season, and the captains take stock of the season thus far. Captain Tyler McLaughlin knows he’s within striking distance of the top spot and is determined to stay out as long as he needs to in order to best his rival, Captain Dave Carraro. Meanwhile, Captain Paul Hebert’s tough teaching methods could cost him a mate and sink his chances this season.
7 Captain Money Bags
4/30/17
The battle for first place in the fleet rages on, as two captains separate themselves from the pack, leaving a trail of cash-strapped competitors in their wake. Meanwhile, the competition turns desperate for some captains, who are feeling the pressure to land a paycheck. With just a few weeks left in the season, Gloucester’s best fishermen need to turn their luck around or risk going home broke.
8 Hickory Dickory Docked
5/7/17
With just a few weeks left in the season, the Gloucester fleet knows that Captain Dave Carraro is a formidable opponent, and one captain conspires to get under Carraro’s skin in the hopes of gaining a competitive advantage. The plot succeeds, and when Carraro opts to dock his boat for a few days, the other captains pounce on the chance to take the lead away from him.
9 Hissy Fit
5/14/17
A good mate can make or break a captain’s season. Nick “Duffy” Fudge makes a mistake that could destroy the Pinwheel’s chances of catching a fish, causing tempers to flare and tensions to boil over. Meanwhile, Captain Dave Marciano of the Hard Merchandise and Captain Brad Krasowski of the Fish Hawk continue to trail behind the fleet and are desperate to catch bluefin and turn their luck around.
10 Purple Rain
5/21/17
A treacherous storm descends on Gloucester, forcing captains to choose between risking their lives battling the elements or risking missing out on a catch. With just three weeks left in the season, the captains are feeling the pressure. But as conditions become dangerous, landing a fish is more challenging than ever. With great risk comes great reward, but which captains will be up to the test?
11 The End Is Nigh
5/28/17
With just two weeks left in the season, Captains Dave Carraro and Tyler McLaughlin are locked in a heated battle for first place, and each is determined to win. Meanwhile, Captains Dave Marciano and Brad Krasowski are just trying to make a paycheck — and the pressure to bring home a fish is more intense than ever before. Paul Hebert suffers an injury that threatens to end his season.
12 The Time Is Now
6/4/17
The captains of Gloucester have one last chance to put meat on deck before the season ends. For some, a single fish can be the difference between a much-needed paycheck or going home broke. Captain Tyler McLaughlin is within striking distance of becoming this year’s champion, but will a sudden setback at sea derail his chances? It’s a race to the finish where only one captain can win.

About this show

Wicked Tuna follows a group of salty fishermen from the nation's oldest seaport, Gloucester, Massachusetts, as they make their living the way it's been done for centuries-rod and reel fishing, one catch at a time-all in pursuit of the bluefin tuna. One "monstah" bluefin can be worth more than $20,000, and with that kind of money on the line, every captain is fighting to be the best in the fleet.

Its a fun show but damn if you cant see when a whiny captain sabotages his crews fishing line on purpose so he can blame him for the loss! Paul with Rick by putting the boat in gear, and tyler pinching the line while his sister tried bringing the fish in! And Marciano just dont care cuz he makes 100,000.00 an EPISODE whether he catcges fish or not from the show!! Crew members make 10,000. Pee show! So why all the crying about not paying bills or feeding their families for winter?!!! Bunch of liar

My favorite show, am looking forward to one day fishing for Wicked Tuna. I've fished halibut, salmon and for marlin, but can't wait for tuna and tarpon. Love all the characters and the infighting and togetherness of the fleet.
