Wicked Tuna: Outer Banks (2014)
The long, cold winter has just hit New England, and while the bluefin tuna season has come to an end in Gloucester, Mass., it’s just getting started in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. After a disappointing season, several of Gloucester’s top fishermen head south to try to salvage their finances by fishing for the elusive bluefin tuna in unfamiliar Carolina waters before the experienced locals beat them to the catch. It’s a whole new battlefield and the Northern captains must conquer new styles of fishing, treacherous waters and the wrath of the Outer Banks’ top fishermen. They’re gambling on what could be a massive payday … or a huge financial loss.

Season 8:
Another season begins, and the Captains are faced with some old hazards like fire on board and sinking, to new hazards like shifting sands and sunken wrecks, on their main routes out to the fishing grounds.
The Outer Banks fleet battle worsening conditions in the hopes of landing a payday before the forecast rough weather arrives and potentially stops fishing.
The fleet tries to take advantage of a wave of big fish. With bad weather working against them, the Rasta Rocket is having a hard time fishing, and struggles to keep up with the rest of the fleet.
It's the toughest season in Outer Banks history. New crews and veteran crews alike battle it out in an effort to catch Blue Gold. The Doghouse proves that they may be the ace crew in the Outer Banks, despite it being their first year as a team, while a mishap on the Reel E' Bugging shows that time on a boat together, isn't everything.
The herds have arrived and for every fisherman in the OBX, this means it's about to be mayhem. A big body of fish brings lower bluefin demand, so it's a race to see who can get a fish before prices dwindle. There is good news for the fleet as a quota extension is announced, which means despite the larger sized fish caught so far this season, the fleet will have more time to make paychecks before the season ends.
A risky move by Offshore Outlaw sees the crew taking a short fishing window as a huge storm approaches, and Dog House fights to stay on top.
While the fleet is docked due to bad weather, one boat takes a chance to get ahead, but facing fog, wind, and high seas, could spell disaster for the attempt.
Hog Wild has struggled for most of the season, and they decide that now is the time for a big push to stay in the game.
With the Outer Banks blue fin season half over, Southern hospitality helps one Captain, as the rest of the fleet go all out to hook as many fish as possible.
The wind wreaks havoc on the fleet, but with over half of the quota already caught, some of them are taking bigger risks than ever to stay ahead.
Halfway through the season and another storm front pushing in is starting to put all the fleet under pressure.
Hog Wild fights to keep the lead, and Captains go back to tried and true methods to increase their catch
Big fish are everywhere but calm seas and good weather slows catches, and tightly packed boats is a recipe for tension.
The competition is close and the quota is dwindling, so any major moves will be don to getting top dollar for quality fish.
The quota is still dropping, and the Outer Banks are taking no prisoners no matter whether you or old.
The fleet wants to prevent Fishin' Frenzy from taking the title but as Greg's hot streak continues this seems to be looking less likely.
With the quota filling up, fishing season in the OBX could end at any moment and the tension on every boat in the fleet is at an all-time high.
Less than 24 hrs remain before season shutdown, but with deteriorating weather, the bar is more dangerous than ever and Captains need to decide whether one last fish is worth the risk.
