8 Wicked Waves
4/28/19

The smaller quota of one bluefin tuna per day has changed the dynamic of the fleet, making it difficult to take or maintain a lead. It is imperative captains bring in a catch every single day.

14 Pulling Out the Stops
6/9/19
The end of the season is on the horizon, and the only way to succeed is by not holding back. For some captains, this means risking everything for the chance at big rewards, but for others it’s not about the numbers; it’s just about being No. 1. With two weeks left, each boat must fight for what it deserves or get left in the wake of success.
15 The Final Tail
6/16/19
Time is up! As the final week of the bluefin fishing season dawns, it's Pinwheel and FV-Tuna.com battling for the top prize as they've done all season, but dark horse Hot Tuna upsets their equilibrium and turns this into a three-way match. Meanwhile, Wicked Pissah, Falcon and Fish Hawk fight hard for one last paycheck.

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.

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.

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
