Making Captain Paul | Wicked Tuna


2m read
·Nov 11, 2024

Paul Hebert is a hack; he belongs in the back deck. He's no business running about as far as I'm concerned. Paul will always be a mate; he's not a captain in my eyes. I truly did not think Paul would be as much of a threat as he is this season. Boy, was I wrong!

He is right on my tail. When Paul is in the right frame of mind, you know, when he's not pissing off the crew and all the drama that's going on over there, he's really a good fisherman. You watch, dude, we're going to be on in like half an hour. There's a billion tuna around; so many fish here, it's not even funny. Dude, we're going to catch 20 right here this week!

This season, being a captain of a boat that I actually own, has been really tough. The biggest learning curve I've had this year has been trying to manage people. I made my crew feel unappreciated, and that is not what a good captain does. They did what anybody would have done. I quit, and then I fished by myself. I just lost them, and then the guys came back, but Lance had me second-guessing my choices.

That's the most stupid thing I ever heard out of somebody's mouth. I realized this just was not going to work with Lance. He's a good man, but the gamble is all on me; all the bills are all on me. I'm a third-generation tuna fisherman. I need to be able to trust my own instincts.

All right, it's almost low tide. Brad, thank God I got Brad! I'll tell you that; he has really, really stuck with me. He's the best angler I've ever been with in my life. 100 ft, three of them! It's so satisfying to prove that everyone that doubted me as a captain, and there's a lot of doubters, that I can win this whole thing because I'm telling you right now it's going to happen!

Nice marks, man! Ooh, ooh la la! Paul's dealt with a lot of crap this season, including me, but he's stuck it out. He's hitting his stride as a captain here. Proud of him! That's bluefin, family of three, come to dinner! We will serve you, serve them up! Uh, giant blin, Party of Three, calling the blin party of three!
