Running on very little sleep, Skipper Chug's crew struggle to capture two quality tuna that get tangled together in the lines. When one crewman is knocked unconscious out at sea during the catch, everyone else on board must scramble to help get him emergency aid.
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.
