Pinwheel Fish Fight | Wicked Tuna | National Geographic

We still got him! Tye! Oh, there he is on top. Keep reeling. Keep reeling. Keep reeling. I see him! I see him! I'll turn the handle. You pull, you pull! I see him! We gotta pull him away from this trap. He’s literally right by this trap. What is going on here? So the line must of came out of the one trap that we were in, and it just swam by that one. Okay, we're going back us out of here. Well, he's right here. He's right here. He's right here.

Swivel. Oh, God. He's swimming at the boat. Easy, easy, easy, easy, easy, easy, easy. I got the swivel! He's getting out of here. Oh, gosh. We got motto back. We’ve been working this fish really hard. We've had to untangle them out of several lots of traps, but we're still on the line here. We’re tightening up the leash. So we’re only a couple of feet away.

But there's so much gear. We're not in a pumpkin patch. We're on a sour patch. We're not in a cabbage patch. We're in a lobster patch. Oh, there he is! Go over there. There he is. Get over there. He’s huge. Coming this way, Tyler! This close was like 35, 40 feet away. This fish ain't ready to quit! A lot of life still in him, and he's big. I mean this thing's big. 600-700 pounds. Got a really good look at this fish's big sickle fins.

This is a big one. This line's already been compromised. The quicker we can get this fish come up, the quicker Tyler can put a dart in it. He's straight up and down at this point, but he's doing dramatic turns. He's going up, down, all around, into the patch, out of the patch, back, drag off, doing good, just battling this fish. He doesn't want to give up. This is a tough fight.

Oh, my God. There he is. He’s a behemoth merm! It’s a behemoth! And there are a lot of obstacles here. There's just lobster gear everywhere. It's just driving us crazy. It's total pandemonium. There he is. Huge color coming up. Easy. Coming around, he go back at you. Big color. Reel, reel, reel, reel, reel, reel, reel, reel!

He's big. He's huge, Merm. He's really big. He's doing a nice big pinwheel. We just need him to do one more hit! Some! Get some! Here he is! Whoo! He's a biggie. I drilled him! I drilled him! You got him, Tyler? I got him. He's big! It's huge! We’re looking at 600-700 pounder.

This is what—oh my God! This is what the fights goats! This is what makes the goat right here! Tail rope! Big fish! Really big fish right in our backyard. Let me get the tail rope on him. Yes! Whoo! He’s huge! We got a big one! We got a jumbo! Aahh! Thanks, Merm!

Nothing about this fish fight was easy. We managed to get through this hole, catch a lobster trap. By far the biggest fish in the season right here to the true GOATS right here. We don't just catch baby tunas, we catch them everywhere. Another new spot for us this season! Big boy coming on board. Big boat, big fish. Big boy. That's a big look at how big this fish is.

Oh, my God. Wow, what a beef! It’s long, it’s wide. What a huge fish! Who's going to be a big payday! Couldn't get any of these down there. Chatham.
