With the quota running out and the end in sight, the captains gamble on where to fish as they race to catch monster high quality bluefin in hopes of earning big paychecks but they can't control what bites the hook. And the double-edged sword, every jumbo tuna they land takes a giant bite out of the quota and hastens the end of the season.

As the quota fills up and a buyer break approaches, Wicked Pissah and Hard Merchandise go head-to-head for the top spot. But when engine issues set back Captain Paul Hebert, the fleet discovers a chance to get ahead. As the clock ticks on the season, Pinwheel Captain Tyler McLaughlin bets on rough seas, and Hard Merchandise Captain Dave Marciano must improvise on Southern Jeffreys when a mechanical issue makes the crew scratch their heads.

With the season coming to a close, the fleet fights to gain ground in an uncertain market. And while most captains play it safe and fish a known hot spot, first place boat Hard Merchandise takes a gamble and chooses to fish away from the crowd. But with time running out and the Wicked Pissah hot on their heels, both boats must battle it out in order to claim the top spot in one of the toughest seasons yet.
