“Wicked Tuna” makes its second season debut at 8 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 13 on National Geographic Channel.

Information on “Wicked Tuna,” provided by National Geographic Channel, is as follows:

The show follows a group of spirited fishermen from Gloucester, Massachusetts, as they make their living the way it¹s been done for centuries man versus fish, rod versus fin, one catch at a time.

The stakes are unforgiving, but the paydays can be huge, as the fleet navigates the frigid waters of the North Atlantic, searching for the magnificent and elusive bluefin tuna.

One “monstah” catch can bring in as much as $20,000, but with a short fishing season and dwindling tuna populations, Gloucester¹s fishermen are fighting for their economic survival every time they set sail.

With just 14 weeks to earn a year¹s salary, the stakes are high for these small businessmen, and the competition is intense.

This year, 24-year-old Captain Tyler McLaughlin and the Pin Wheel join the action.
