It is winter in the Outer Banks where only the strong survive. This season the Bluefin are bigger, more profitable, and harder to catch. Northern champions return to face their Southern rivals. Who will end their quest as the ultimate champion of Wicked Tuna?

With the Battle of Champions underway, the Reel E. Bugging takes a huge gamble to get ahead, when they try to cross the bar in horrible conditions. Meanwhile, the Northern fleet attempts to bounce back from their slow start.

Weeks into the Bluefin season on the Outer Banks, captains are desperate to catch. For Reel E’ Bugging, their drive is not just about the profit, it is about respect.

This season, Captains have faced some brutal weather, but now with a few nice days to fish before a storm arrives; the fishermen hope to capitalize before they are docked once again.
