New Crew, Same Pissah | Wicked Tuna
Chum and they will come with Lance. Brad and I, we are gonna catch a ton of tuna fish this year. Drop you like a bad habit. I've known Paul for about two and a half years. He's a great guy; he's a great fisherman. The reason why I'm fishing is to provide for my family. My daughter's name is Scarlet, and she's five years old.
If we don't catch any fish, my daughter's gonna be the one that suffers here, and I just don't want to let my daughter down. It's gonna keep chum and keep grindin', man. This is a great spot right here; it's got the colder water, it's got plenty of bait, it's got plenty of fish—the perfect area.
I'm fishing for my family: my 15-year-old son, Brad, my 17-year-old daughter, Emma. They've endured the sacrifices their entire life since they were tiny children. They probably ate more fish than any kids alive. And if it wasn't for my wife, Heather, I'd be dead—long gone dead. She's the rock-solid, beautiful lady of my life.
To go out and provide for your family, you have to be out there. There is tuna under the boat. That's 'cause we’re chummin'.
“Lamb, real, real, real! Here we go! First tuna bite! To see this game on, baby! Let him run, let him run, let him run! That's what we wanted to do. We want to go on to the deepwater landscape, a little tight. It's real; your balls off—that's all, guys! That's it! Feels good, man! You have a fish on; feels real good!
Taking line right now. Hopefully, it's a big fish. This could be a thousand-pound fish worth over 20 grand. Nice and easy with this fish. I'm almost up to the Monell. It's good and getting a little back on him. I'd like to put him in the middle kind of; I've got a good handle on my rod. Paul's driving the boat. Network, where I got— we're excited!
“All right, hold on! Hold the hook just like that.” There's no other job where you can lose your paycheck so fast—in a split second. And it's tough on your soul; it's tough on your psyche. I just want to get the baits back out and try again. That's called tuna fishing, brother. Painful.
