Harpoon Hunters

As the season kicks off we get introduced to the fleet of maverick fisherman. Unlike more common methods of fishing with rods and nets these anglers choose to harvest with the most traditional method, harpoon. Great start to a great show.

At the start of week 2 the Ezyduzit, a boat usually at the top of the fleet, is the only boat without a catch. First year captain Niko Chaprales is determined to change that by any means necessary. Capt Tyler fishes a fish in bad weather.

Captain Joe Dion takes his sons to sea, landing two massive bluefin and witnessing a great white shark feeding on a humpback whale. Dylan's son Emmett earns his first harpoon attempt while Niko hunts the season's biggest bluefin thus far.

As the fleet spots the first giants, Joe fights for his lead over Niko and Tyler but all bets are off as old-timer Bill joins the derby. Emmett struggles with the choice to fish without a plane.

As the bluefin fishery reaches its mid-season peak, three centuries-old fishing strategies compete for dominance. Joe banks on instinct, Tyler uses science to gain the upper hand, and strongman Niko relies on legacy.

With the advantage of spotter planes, veteran Tyler and young gun Joe battle for the most monster bluefin until Joe helps strongman Niko. But when Niko's zapper fails at the worst possible moment, Tyler steps in to save the day.

As the giant bluefin gorge themselves on schools of fatty baitfish, captains battle to capture oversized "quota-killer" tuna. Young gun Joe scores a rare hat trick, landing three in a day, while veteran Tyler struggles.
