Wicked Tuna: Outer Banks. Anyone watch it tonight?

I only caught the last 20 minutes of the show. And this is what they showed.

One fish caught was 412 lbs @ $24 dollars a pound = $9,888

Another one was 472 lbs @ 20 dollars a pound = $9,440

They showed 2 others but I didn't see what they weighed or the price per pound but the total for both was over $15,000

Sounds like some good money for fishing but I don't know a thing about it,so it may not be so good.

Here is a video of a 9 feet in length and 920 lbs Bluefin tuna caught in the waters off the coast of Massachusetts. I had read that the fish pulled the fishing boat 4 1/2 miles before they got it up onto the deck.

Some of these fish go for as much as $45 dollars a lb.
