Plot Synopsis

Three longline fishing crews hunt for monster-sized tuna and swordfish off the coast of Australia, enduring treacherous storms, brutal working hours and their own hot tempers. When the fish are biting, a five-day trip can bring in $100,000. But a crew can go penniless -- and a skipper can even lose his vessel -- if there's a bad catch, if the ice machine breaks down or if there's an electrical storm. Current TV aired the U.S. premiere of this series on Wednesday, February 23, 2011 at 9pm ET.
