Widowmaker Waves | Wicked Tuna: Outer Banks


the commercial fishing boat risky
business was on his way across the ocean
barred but it was struck by two freak
waves lion bridge was nearly ripped away
from the hall
that just gave me anxiety I wish you
know welcome back to the OBX yes they
both had its tower and roof ripped off
in freak waves while trying to cross the
bar and a few days ago the doghouse was
lucky not to have the same thing
happened to them
we just took 15 feet of whitewater right
over top of her this place is just an
absolute hellhole and that that bar is
you know a Widowmaker I mean one bad
wave one bad decision will take you out
what do you guys think about that I mean
is am I the only one that that sketches
out your nightmare all over again
you ain’t kidding you have to make the
right choices if you go out there and
get caught in a bad situation it’s gonna
slap you in the face real quick or just
idle down that way anyway TJ take safety
very seriously and he doesn’t want to
see anybody get hurt I 100% trust TJ
with whatever decision he makes if I get
down there and look at that bar and I
think that it’s unsafe or he’s my better
judgment to wait a few hours I’m gonna
wait the bar is the transition point
from the sound to the ocean
it’s a sandbar where the water depth can
go from deep around it to very shallow
on top of it as well as from the open
ocean break on the bar and those waves
can be treacherous so we have to
physically get across that safely
without taking one of those waves over
the bow that’s tuna fish in the ocean
worth me blowing out my windows and
destroying my boat and possibly hurt
someone on my crew
