I would rather watch this then the continuous repeats on WFN of "Fishing the Flats" and the other shows that are on repeat and cycle through every 6 hours.  The first two times I watch and episode are ok, but after that I need variety lol

I remember the show "swords, life on the line" or what ever it was, now "wicked tuna"...I want to pitch a show to A&E to compete and call it "Blue Fish, biting a limb off" or "White Perch, the everything  fish" or maybe even a show "Skates...the bait stealers"  Sorry my kids did not sleep much last night and I am a little sleep deprived right now?:snr:

Love tuna fishing but this show is borderline unwatchable.

As soon the guy with the big teeth and Boston accent starts yapping, that's it for me.

I couldn't stand a half hr on a boat offshore with that guy.

thats bs.. it all depends on the amount of viewers the show has. 


a poplar show will pay their reality tv "stars" 20k/ to 25k an episode but low budget shows start around $1000/ episode.



I would guesstimate that Wicked tuna is paying their guys 5- 10k a show considering their in a season 3.


As for it being fake; its a pretty "real" show for a reality tv, they have a guideline the show follows and dont forget they film 7-10 hours a day and spend hours in the editing room before its aired. the directors create a story line and pick the most entertaining parts to show viewers.
