It’s an exciting episode of Wicked Tuna, as former champion Fat Tuna heats up the competition with two bluefin tuna catches. Airing on May 5, 2024, on National Geographic, this episode promises to deliver all the thrilling action and drama that fans have come to expect from the popular reality television series.
Wicked Tuna, now in its 13th season, takes viewers into the world of commercial tuna fishermen based in Gloucester, Massachusetts. These fishermen battle the unpredictable North Atlantic Ocean, seeking the lucrative Atlantic bluefin tuna. The stakes are high, and the competition is fierce as each team strives to maximize their profits from catching these prized fish.
In this upcoming episode, titled “Coming In Hot,” the race to reel in the biggest and most lucrative bluefin tuna intensifies. With the pressure mounting, the seasoned fishermen of Gloucester will face new challenges and intense rivalries as they navigate treacherous waters. The preview for this episode hints at the high-stakes action, suggesting that the fishermen will face “unpredictable challenges” and “treacherous waters” in their pursuit of the massive bluefin tuna.
The bluefin tuna is highly sought after, and with good reason. Fishing for these majestic creatures is not just a way of life for the residents of Gloucester but also a means to support their families and the entire town. The pressure to deliver is immense, as the fishing season is short, and populations of these magnificent fish are dwindling. However, one “monstah” catch can bring in a substantial payday.
As the fishermen set out on their boats, including the iconic FV-Tuna.com, Hard Merchandise, and Wicked Pissah, they will need to employ all their skills and knowledge to navigate the unforgiving North Atlantic waters, made famous by the novel and film “The Perfect Storm.” The crews will face not only the elements but also the intense competition from their fellow fishermen, each hoping to land the biggest catch of the season.
Wicked Tuna: Coming In Hot airs May 5, 2024 at 9.00pm on National Geographic.
