'Wicked Tuna': Rasta Rocket struggles to find a bluefin tuna, fans wonder if bigger boat can help them win
Team Rasta Rocket is facing a tough time climbing the leaderboard, which is dominated by Hot Tuna, FV-Tuna.com, Fishin Frenzy and the Pinwheel. They have been fortunate to find themselves blue fins every section of the sea they've explored. But the same cannot be said about Captain Zack Shackleton and his team at Rasta Rocket.
In this week's episode, of 'Wicked Tuna: Outer Banks' the teams decided to help each other out to catch the tunas quickly. Given, how most are now dependent on the tuna gods to fill their pockets. FV-Tuna.Com helped Rasta with a lead and soon, they were able to catch a massive bluefin. It was a moment of relief for them because it had been a while since they were seen in action. This season, they have experienced more failures than successes. It could have easily demotivated them and pushed them to give up, but they didn't and the results are proof enough. Even though they have not moved significantly on the scoreboard but there's no harm in celebrating tiny victories.
Meanwhile, fans on the show's official Facebook page, have been wondering if it's the team's small boat that keeps it from getting the winning numbers. "There boat is great for wahoo fishing tournaments and such but winter fishing on the outer banks not so much sometimes you got to just step it up and get a bigger boat," a user shared, while another pointed out: "Them boys are crazy going out with that small boat.
"Definitely a strong team, way to go Rasta Rocket! Great bunch of guys," a viewer cheered. Another posted: "I really like and respect these guys. They have hearts that are bigger than the boat that they’re in to take care of business and family." Here's hoping the team is able to show off more of their skills in the coming weeks and continues to scale the scoreboard by bringing to the shore prized catches. Rasta Rocket has potential and the fans are rooting for them to do better.
