Ep 4. Zombie Tuna

In season 5 episode 4 of Wicked Tuna: Outer Banks titled "Zombie Tuna," the captains of the Outer Banks fleet face a unique challenge. The water temperature has dropped drastically, driving most of the tuna deeper into the ocean. But a group of "zombie tuna" that have been feeding on the bottom of the ocean are now showing up on the radar close to the surface.

Captain Tyler McLaughlin of the Pinwheel is determined to catch these zombie tuna and starts chumming the water. But as he and his crew wait for the tuna to take the bait, they receive news that another boat has landed a monster fish. This puts even more pressure on Tyler and his crew to catch something big.

Meanwhile, Captain TJ Ott of the Hot Tuna is also trying to catch these elusive zombie tuna. He spots some birds circling the water, indicating the presence of fish, and gets his lines in the water. But he quickly runs into trouble when one of his reels malfunctions, causing him to lose a potentially huge catch.

The Reel E' Bugging, captained by Bobby Earl, is also in search of the zombie tuna. They start to see some action, but it's not the tuna that they were hoping for. They hook a massive stingray that puts up an intense fight, ultimately forcing them to release it.

As the day progresses, the tuna are still proving to be elusive. Captain Greg Mayer of the Fishin' Frenzy has had no luck so far, but he's not giving up. He decides to make a risky move and take his boat into shallow waters where the zombie tuna have been spotted. It pays off when he finally hooks a fish, but it's not clear if it's a zombie tuna or not.

As the episode ends, it's still anyone's game. The captains continue to hunt for the elusive zombie tuna, but it remains to be seen who will come out on top.

Overall, "Zombie Tuna" is a thrilling episode of Wicked Tuna: Outer Banks that showcases the determination and skill of the captains as they face a unique challenge in their quest for tuna. The episode is filled with tense moments, unexpected twists and turns, and a constant feeling of uncertainty as the captains try to adapt to changing conditions.
