Plot Synopsis

HARPOON HUNTERS is a one-hour docuseries that follows New England fishermen as they spear big game fish worth thousands. Each summer on Cape Cod, multi-generational fishing families race against the clock -- and each other -- to catch highly valuable Atlantic bluefin tuna using only 10-foot electrified spears. Time is of the essence as harpoon boats only have four weeks to catch as many fish as they can before the overall limit is met. With fish worth as much as $10K each, stakes are high for these expert fishermen to make ends meet for their families and beat the competition to take home these prize fish. In the series opener, "One Man, One Spear," a group of four harpooners chase some of the highest-priced fish using only fast boats and aim; Niko must prove he can run a boat while Joe hunts to support his family as the fleet races to land the first bluefin worth thousands. The captains are: Dylan Caldwell (age: 56; boat: Pine Box); Joe Dion (38; Redrum); Tyler Macallister (56; Cynthia C2); and Nicholas "Niko" Chaprales (37; Ezyduzit).
