Nantucket Sleigh Ride | Wicked Tuna


there’s a guy that’s dragging four
bottom fish here once in a while they
come a little too close to where your
anchor is and they get hooked in your
anchor and you wind up going for a
little ride
[Music]
as much as we want to keep fishing we
had to put everything on hold
once the dragger appeared things could
get dangerous cause you never know what
what they’re doing in the wheelhouse you
don’t even know if they’re in the
wheelhouse
[Music]
boy what a big boat doubling that room
anything on the bottoms him get caught
in that net in our acres on the bottom
you hope he makes his turn before he
picks up your anchor in his neck if he
doesn’t turn you don’t have time to pull
your anchor and it takes too long in the
right circumstance could roll the boat
over and that’s it you’re done the
chances you getting out from underneath
it iced lemon none so it’s a real chance
that you could get very seriously
injured you think what can I do but
really you’re helpless at that point
we’re really a dragger goes across our
anchor and tangles it and then the war
will begin this guy’s pretty close on
this dry girl right a dual bar this
isn’t gonna work he’s gonna go for an in
tuck and sleigh ride here in a minute
yeah
he hooked our anchor and told us away I
tried to call him on a radio there was
no response
he literally gonna pull this right under
he wasn’t stopped until something broke
and I’m going can’t take the pressure it
snaps
I was scared I was skin
yeah we just deliberately got assaulted
by the a fishing vessel took our Anka
told us away this is what’s left when I
dragged her grabs your anchor went over
to him tried to talk to him oh yeah
right
hey close guys with talking to the
coastguard right now what the dog
throwing fish at me
unbelievable he started throwing dead
fish at us I could not believe what I
was seeing you know you take a whole
ocean they gotta come right yeah right
next to him measure Bob you can yell all
you want
yeah yeah I’ll see you in court you see
that bird hanyan we got it on video
they’ll grab a seagull and they’ll kill
it and then I’ll hang it and what it
does is scare the other birds away
yeah it’s illegal scumbags
Dave sent me on a wild goose chase I
lost my anchor can’t catch a fish so far

but
