Fishermen with years of experience can hear the sound of their reels▼ spinning out of control and know that big money can be lost if they do not grab their fishing poles and get their catch▼. This month, Wicked Tuna 4, which is National Geographic Channel's (NGC) new series, follows a few boats out into the ocean. Dave Marciano, the captain of the boat Hard Merchandise, is always trying to reel in the big one. Marciano has been a fisherman for well over 30 years, so he knows that every trip out into the water will be different from the last because Mother Nature▼ is great at throwing curveballs. One of Marciano's mantras▼ is that everyone has to be willing to fail and get back up again.
In one episode, two boats are competing for the same fish. At first, a huge tuna pops up on the sonar of Pin Wheel. Suddenly, a shark appears and the tuna hightails▼ it out of there. Unfortunately for the crew of Pin Wheel, the tuna heads right to where a rival boat, Hot Tuna, is anchored. Soon enough, Hot Tuna gets the bite▼ and the crew is racing to pull it in. What makes things even worse for Pin Wheel is that Hot Tuna is in the exact spot where they caught a lot of their fish the day before, so the captain calls the crew bite chasers. Later, Pin Wheel eventually catches their big break and a huge tuna takes the bait. It takes the crew a few tries, but eventually the tuna is harpooned▼ and dragged in. If you enjoy tales from the sea, do not miss Wicked Tuna 4 this month on NGC.
