After a day off, Skipper Paul's crew is under pressure to deliver a good catch. They start out strong with fish worth $2000 each, but their luck comes to an immediate halt when the engine shuts down in the middle of the South Seas.
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.
