My son is on this show and has loved fishing since he was a child! He’s on Bob Cook’s boat Fat Tuna! Manny Pereira is my son and I’m very proud of him!
That’s cool!! My nephew fished with Bob on the Fat Tuna and they caught about 300lber but it was a no kill day. He said Bob is the best!!
Nice. Bob seems like a really nice guy. This past Memorial Day weekend, I went out on the Dot Com for one of his open boat haddock trips. It was a little slow, but I still did good. I caught a dozen keeper haddock, a couple of cod, and a couple of redfish.
That awesome . Bob seems like a good man to work for ! Congrats on manny’s success
🌵🏜️🌵
I watched to the end. Great summary on the cast. Thank you.
Great show guys love it
i watched til the end… go Hard Merchandise! Go Dave Marciano!
That's slick and clean mate
Hugely delightful!!
Wow love it!
Really really strong to find"it👌
My cousin was working on hard merchandise the boat like fixing it up haha
It's admirable not just sublime!
i fast forwarded to the end
I watched til the end (ps it’s Hebert not Herbert 😉)
I grew up on the waterfront in Portland Maine. One thing I can tell you about wicked tuna is the prices that they claim these guys get is bs. Back in the 80’s, a large bluefin would bring upwards of $32-$37 per pound at the docks. The fishermen called them a new truck…
I fish commercially and we usually get 8-12 a pound for bluefin and 11-17 for bigeye
@@marcopugliese5946 I grew up on the waterfront in Portland Maine. The commercial fishermen would refer to them as catching a brand new pickup truck because that’s how much money they got for them in the 80’s and 90’s. Even in 2018 some guy got 400k for one at a Japanese fish auction. Your getting screwed.
@@samuelmandarelli2645 again I don’t think u understand the current wholesale market. We sell to the wholesaler, the wholesaler then sends the fish to Japan. No boat has time to personally send a fish over. And yes you can get fish that get into the 18 per pound range. But typically that doesn’t happen. I don’t think u understand the market
@@marcopugliese5946
I’m pretty sure the commercial fisherman I knew were selling whistle as well. Maybe times have changed. My father sent me a local Portland Maine newspaper article back in like 2010 or something that was all about how these guys are getting 32-37 dollars a pound on the wharf… so again, I’m just talking from past knowledge of your market. I understand how it works. I was raised on the waterfront. Worked lumping boats since I was young.

Me and my neighbors get together and watch this show every Sunday. My one neighbor always says what these guys are doing wrong all the time. I drink his bourbon and he makes me salami sandwiches, so he can stay in our club(Hank). The other neighbor lays on the floor and gets mad at me when I ask him to pause and rewind(Dan). The other neighbor lets us watch in his basement and he looks at the rest of us with a really perverted stare. I wish he would just come out of the closet already. It's 2022 bro(David)
Where's Pirate?
I watched till the end
I didn't watch till the end, wicked tuna came on😁
Fish generally sell for $5 a lb. Thats really the base price to go off of. Certain times its 5-9. Anything over 10 is really good and doesn't happen all that much. The best outcome for the guys being on the show is getting fully booked for charters in the summer. That in of itself is worth getting on the show.
'I watched till the end'
These net worths seem very low for the amount that they have mode from the show alone. Dude makes 100k an episode for something like 70 episodes and only has a 500k net worth?
I agree. Something doesn’t add up here. Not even close.
It adds up. Taxes and boat expenses. Ever buy boat , fuel , ice , insurance and pay a crew ? Hell the rods and electronics can easily be over 100,000.00. They need up dated often.
@@dennisncaz you high? . $100,000 per episode for 70 episodes equals $7,000,000 from the show alone. He has a net worth of $500,000? It does not in fact add up.
@@8mondaymonkey haha. They have not made 100,000 per episode. They started at 2000 a episode and it has went up. Again have you ever owned a boat ? They are not cheap. They are not fishing on 20,000.00 dollar pontoons. maintenance, fuel , ice and bait is thousands of dollars per trip.
I watched till the end…
I watched till the end and George Orwell told me so
How can some of these guys make 100k per episode but have a net worth of 600k.
I live in the outer banks of N.C. I know many of the guys fishing in the series. Funny to hear of all the b.s that goes on. I'm glad that they seem pretty much unchanged. I'd attribute that to the Hard Core commercial fisherman that share the same docks. Throw in some others that fish around the world.
Dude this money is way off on some of the fish
Hmmmm $100,000 per episode and a net worth of $500,000 something doesn’t add up. I’ve read numerous articles that they make up to $2000 per episode!!!!!
Then tell that 2 japanese bluefin tuna sushi customers.
Those people will be mad the amounts of Japanese yen they R charged after eating raw bluefin tuna.
Do you ever take people out on these boats? Just so they could see how it is to work. The rods, yeah, it's and how to catch a giant tuna. Please comment back and let me know. Thank you for all the episodes of this show.
I notice the bigger the tuna the more head and tail gets cut and the price per pound goes lower. The quality is as good as some of the smaller tuna caught at the start of the show and paid $20 - $29 per pound. So I think the buyers are not being fair. I think they are playing with their incomes.
The sea is running out of fish, despite nations’ pledges to stop it.
Only 10% of all large fish remain -
both open ocean species including tuna, swordfish, marlin and the large groundfish such as cod, halibut, skates and flounder-- left in the sea.
Western Bluefin stocks are so healthy they are raising the quota for catch.
I commented back to this and I'm still waiting for my comment back.I hope and pray.I'd never hold my breath on getting a comment back.I would be like a fish dead
83k per show????
I can tell you that the tuna buyers are not paying for 100k per fish that might be market value but not what the people catching them make the most of have seen on the show is like 11000
Even that’s inflated. Most fish are 7600-9000
Nicholas ‘Duffy’ Fudge died in July 2018
Not 2015
So many errors in this video lol
Every freaking show one of them has to say, “ the buyer wants a tuna with good color and a lot of fat”. I record this show and fast forward through the episode in order to see the length, weight, and then try to guess the price per pound. The rest is soap opera fodder. I always wondered how they made a living since the price of the catch minus the overhead expenses never added up to a lot of profit. With the actor pay per episode, I now see how they earn.
They get paid at least $10,000 per person per episode. So for someone who has been in all 167 episodes that's $1,670,000 at the low end.
Those boats are also charter boats, they do not depend solely on what is shown on the show.
A lot of your numbers are way off
Never £200 per pound lol
Got a question, if anyone knows. I think I've heard, on the show, that a fish needs to be 72" long to be legal. What do they do if they catch one, get it on the boat, and it's under 72"? The fish is already dead because they harpooned it, I think.
I guess they are experienced fisherman.. sometimes they just let the fish away if they are not confidence the tuna not big enough by looking at it
The legal limit is 73”
Is TJ still dating Tyler’s sweet sister ❤️
NO I DON'T...live under a rock guy!!!!!
I just never had any interest in watching this particular show.
I've known of it but it wasn't on the top of my list of entertainment value shows to watch on TV.
I peek at a few short videos of it on RUclips but haven't seen an entire episode.
get 100k per episode, so 1.7 million a year and have an estimated networth of 500k ... yeah somethings not right here.
Kind of what I was thinking. And Tyler only makes as much as Spurge? Bs
The net worth they are claiming for these guys is BS one of those Boats alone is over 200K for a cheap one, and your going to tell me none of them owns a home. Homes in New England are probably in the 250K plus range, and no others assets? What about what the actual business is worth? I would tend to believe that most of them have a 7 figure net worth.
They finance their boats. They go deep in debt and try to catch enough to make their payments.
@@tho464 They also charter those boats for between $800-$1000 Per day when not fishing for particular commercial fish, they don’t only fish for tuna. Plus they get paid for their TV appearances per show, and royalties on the reruns.
So I noticed the bigger the tuna the buyer offers less per pound. Bunch of rotten buggers.
I didn't watch til the end.
You got so many things wrong in this, it's ridiculous.
Endangered 😂😆😂. If these fish were actually endangered then you wouldn't be allowed to keep any. I fish bluefin off NJ. Not in a 30 to 50ft boat. I use a 16ft aluminum boat. These dudes use the heaviest tackle possible too where I use the lightest and still land more then they do 😂😆😂
Jumbo BFT in a 16ft alum boat on spin gear . Impressive
