With three weeks left in the fishing season, the competition intensifies. It has been five seasons since Captain Tyler McLaughlin has claimed the top spot, and he is determined to fish as hard as possible in order to finish in first place. But Captain Brad Krasowski has emerged as a real contender and has the other captains nervous. Meanwhile, Captain Dave Marciano tries to turn his bad luck around and salvage his season.

The FV-Tuna.com has been the top-earning boat in the fleet for the past two years. Dave Carraro is confident his team can finish out the season strong, but the rest of the fleet is in hot pursuit. Tyler McLaughlin knows that he needs to turn every single hookup into a catch in order to take the lead away from Carraro. And Brad Krasowski is just one big catch away from completing his "worst to first" comeback over last year's performance.

With only one week left in bluefin season, the fleet competes for final paychecks and the championship. Longtime champion FV-Tuna.com and rival boat Pinwheel are forced off the water by illness and injury, and having the two top contenders out of the race is a game-changer for the fleet, pushing everyone to go for broke to score an upset and become Gloucester's top-earning boat.
