Hochsee Cowboys: Norden vs. SüdenStaffel 1

New England's best bluefin tuna fishermen venture south to North Carolina's treacherous fishing grounds, the Outer Banks, where they battle the local fleet for the ocean's most lucrative prize. A single giant bluefin can be worth more than $20,000 but the dangerous waters, small quota and explosive rivalries make the Outer Banks, nicknamed "The Graveyard of the Atlantic", the most challenging place in the world to catch these elusive fish.

Invasion der Yankees
F1
Invasion der YankeesNach einer eher mittelmäßigen Thunfisch-Saison im Nordatlantik sind die Boote aus Massachusetts unterwegs nach Süden. Sie wollen ihr Glück bei den Outer Banks vor der Küste North Carolinas versuchen. Hier ist der Wettbewerb hart und die Einsätze sind höher als je zuvor. Die Fahrt über 550 Seemeilen lässt die Kapitäne in die roten Zahlen geraten, noch ehe sie eine einzige Angelschnur ausgeworfen haben. Wenn sie hier Geld verdienen wollen, müssen sie sich mit neuen Fangtechniken, ihnen unbekannten Gewässern und wenig freundlichen einheimischen Fischer-Kollegen auseinandersetzen.
Southern Discomfort

Southern DiscomfortThe Southern captains fear a full-scale Yankee invasion of their waters when another Northern boat the Pin Wheel with Captain Tyler McLaughlin comes steaming into the Outer Banks. This trip, McLaughlin is desperate to make up for the embarrassing last-place finish he landed last season, and to help him he adds Paul Hebert onboard as co-captain. As the Pin Wheel steams in, they're greeted with gunshots by the Southerners, showing there is no room for Southern hospitality.
Bluefin or Bust

Dave Marciano has been unable to land a single catch and fears the huge gamble he made in traveling south will not pay off. If he doesn't catch a fish in the next two days, he won't be able to afford to stay in the Carolinas and will have to head back to Gloucester.
