Season 19 of 9 Episodes

  • A group of four harpooners chase some of the highest-priced fish using only fast boats and aim; Niko must prove he can run a boat while Joe hunts to support his family as the fleet races to land the first bluefin worth thousands.

  • Captains Joe and Tyler hit bluefin gold as second-generation harpooner, Niko Chaprales, fails to land even one.

  • 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; all bets are off as old-timer Bill joins the derby; Emmett struggles with the choice to fish without a plane; Dylan gets a $6,000 tuna.

  • 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 -- but nobody relies solely on luck.

  • With the advantage of spotter planes, veteran Tyler and young gun Joe battle for the most monster bluefin until Joe helps strongman Niko get back into contention; when Niko's zapper fails, 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 feat by landing three in a day; veteran Tyler struggles with both science and technology.

  • With less than a quarter of the bluefin quota still available to catch, a change in weather forces captains to shift their strategy; Tyler quickly scores three big fish; Joe takes to the air, he spots a lone tuna, then races to find it at sea.

  • Captains Joe and Tyler are in a heated battle in the season finale; fighting for the top spot, dark horse Niko spots a chance to steal the lead; with the biggest catches of the season yet to come, it all comes down to the final weigh-ins at the dock.
