Ep 12. High Speed Chase

As the crewmembers of the Wicked Tuna fleet race towards the end of the season, tensions are at an all-time high in North Carolina's Outer Banks. In episode 12, titled "High Speed Chase," the captains are more determined than ever to bring in some of the ocean's biggest and most elusive fish, but they face tough competition from one another as well as natural challenges.

The episode begins with the Southern fleet still trying to come out on top after a strong showing from the Northern boats. Captain Greg Mayer of the Fishin' Frenzy is in the lead, but he knows that one big fish could shake things up dramatically. With just a few days left before the season ends, he sets his sights on a massive bluefin tuna and sets off on a high-speed chase to try to reel it in.

Meanwhile, Captain Dave Marciano of the Hard Merchandise is also feeling the pressure to catch more fish. He and his crew have been struggling to keep up with the other boats all season, but he refuses to give up. In this episode, Marciano takes a risk by fishing in a new location with the hope of finding a school of large tuna. The crew is excited to try a new strategy, but they also know that this could be their last chance to make a dent in the leaderboard before the season ends.

As the boats head out to sea, they face choppy waters, unpredictable weather, and mechanical difficulties that threaten to derail their plans. The teams must use all of their expertise and teamwork to overcome these challenges and stay in the hunt for the biggest catches. At the same time, they must also contend with other boats in the area, some of whom are notorious for using shady tactics to gain an advantage.

Despite these challenges, the captains and their crews remain focused and determined. The Fishin' Frenzy team pulls out all the stops in their pursuit of the elusive bluefin, racing across the water at breakneck speeds in the hopes of hooking the massive fish. Meanwhile, the Hard Merchandise crew works tirelessly to lure in the schools of tuna they hope to find.

As the season draws to a close, the stakes are higher than ever for these fishermen. With thousands of dollars on the line and bragging rights at stake, they are all willing to do whatever it takes to land the big one. In the end, only the most skilled and determined captain and crew will emerge victorious. Will it be Mayer, Marciano, or someone else? Find out in this thrilling and action-packed episode of Wicked Tuna: Outer Banks.
