A new contender arrives to disrupt the ranks of Gloucester's finest, as Captain Michelle Bancewicz and First Mate Lea Pinaud of Fishing Vessel No Limits make their entrance into the competition. While the fleet is split between fishing local and making the run south to Chatham, Michelle and Lea look to make their mark on the tuna world.

The competition heats up and alliances form, as some boats are willing to make the 90-mile steam to Chatham and some are not.
