    #8 - Battle at Midway

    S4:E8

    It's week eight of the Atlantic bluefin tuna season, and as the season ticks past the halfway point, the Gloucester captains are determined to work harder than ever to put tuna on their decks and charge into the rest of the season as strong as possible. But being on the water for the past two months is taking a toll on crew members and one mate faces a dilemma — keep fishing or quit so he can spend more time with his wife and kids. Last season's champion, Captain Dave Carraro of FV-tuna.com, charges into the week atop the leaderboard, but by only a slim margin. If Dave's biggest rival, Captain Tyler McLaughlin of Pin Wheel, lands a fish this week, it could bump Dave out of the coveted first place, so Dave and his mates Sandro and Geordie are not taking any chances and are fishing as hard as ever.
