Although they're 155 miles from one crew's rescue emergency, Skipper Chug and his own team face their own dilemma. To cover costs, Chug needs to pull in a large yellow fin tuna, but his resourceful ideas for attracting fish still only lure small bites. Conditions gets worse when one crewman suffers a blow while reeling in a heavy catch, hollering as he loses mobility in his hand.
Off the coast of Australia, tough-as-nails longline fishermen risk it all on the hunt for monster-sized tuna and swordfish. Hooked on Danger goes to sea with three larger than life skippers and their crews as they brave 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 bad catch means the crew can spend days of grueling work at sea without earning a penny. For some it's an adrenaline rush; for others, it's simply a way of life.
Double up on episodes of "Hooked on Danger." New episodes air Wednesdays at 9PM and another at 9:30PM on Current TV.
