Interesting Facts About the Show

Listed below are some of the most interesting facts and tidbits that fans have learned from the hit show Wicked Tuna:

  • Catching large bluefin tuna fish is a very legitimate challenge. Sometimes, it can take up to 200 yards of fishing line to wrestle with and eventually exhaust the bluefin tuna, which can actually swim at a speed of 40 miles per hour.
  • As a result of the pandemic, the fetching rate of bluefin tuna has unfortunately taken a nosedive, with most prices reduced to around 50% - 60% of what it used to fetch before the pandemic. This is primarily because of the impact of the Coronavirus in halting supply lines and shipments and the closure of sushi shops, restaurants, grocery stores, and hotels all around the world.
  • The show, owing to its massive popularity and staying power, actually has a spin-off show called “Wicked Tuna: North vs South” and this spin-off features four of the northern captains from the original show duke it out with the Outer Banks’ top fishermen in capturing bluefin tuna fish in the deep waters of North Carolina.
  • During the pandemic, Wicked Tuna still filmed season 10 and saw Wicked Pissah, led by Paul Hebert grab the top spot over fan-favorite Hard Merchandise, captained by Dave Marciano.
