Next Episode of Wicked Tuna: Outer Banks Showdown is
unknown.
New England anglers head south to the Outer Banks of North Carolina for the winter bluefin tuna season. Whlie there, they face multiple challenges, including harsh weather and a new set of competing fishermen with their own southern charms and tactics. They compete against each other, large conglomerates and the fish themselves to make ends meet.
Northern champions face their Southern rivals in the hunt for bluefin tuna during the Outer Banks winter, where only the strong survive.
As the Northern fleet looks to bounce back from their slow start, the Reel E. Bugging takes a huge risk in an effort to grab the early season lead.
Northern boat, Pinwheel, risks their lives and their boat on the advice of a Southern Captain in the hope of landing their first fish of the season.
In a season of rough weather, there will be a few fishable days in a row and every Captain hopes to capitalise before the storm arrives.
With the Northern fleet docked, the Southern captains try to stay ahead.
The Gloucester champions take advantage of good weather, strategizing to find big bites, and gain ground against the tough Southern competition.
Four-time champion Captain Greg Mayer aims to retake the lead, while Captain Robert Earl knows, "A Fish a Day Keeps the Frenzy Away".
Pinwheel's Tyler McLaughlin may be in last place now, but the former northern and southern champion spells trouble for the fleet if he gets on a roll.
It's survival of the fittest for man and monster fish when danger strikes the Outer Banks and one captain faces his demons.
Little Shell's season goes from bad to worse when their gyro breaks loose from its mounts and causes a fire on board.
The Southern boats have been dominating the competition all season long, but now the Northern Captains push to make a big move.
During Pinwheel's fight back from the bottom, Tyler gets hit with a debilitating illness, putting all the pressure to produce on sister, Marissa.
When fish become hard to find, strategy becomes the key to catching. Who can outsmart the rest of the fleet to land a bluefin and come out on top?
As weather windows put a strain on fishing, most of the fleet stays cautious, but Bobby and his mates will do whatever it takes for first place.
Northern Champ Tyler McLaughlin faces great adversity, while the front-runners look to extend their lead.
The Outer Banks bluefin quota continues to fill at a rapid pace as the Southern Captains take control of their local waters. But the Northern boats will not give up the fight to keep their season alive in the battle for a big paycheck.
With Reel E. Bugging in the lead, the rest of the fleet races against the clock to close the gap.
It's the last day of fishing and every boat is out trying to make one final paycheck and possibly secure the title - Champion of Champions.
