Team Fishin' Frenzy has been having a tough luck trying to catch the tunas this week. It's just not the best time for the crew and Captain Greg Mayer cannot wrap his head around the poor performance. "It's not like us to be middle-of-the-pack boat or be this out of sync. We need to get our act together," he said after he and his team failed to get their first catch of the day. But they didn't want to lose hope and tried again during nighttime when the sea was rougher and stormier making catching tunas all the more difficult. 

Greg was right. The team was out of sync. The deckhands almost had the tuna when it started to swim under the boat and in order to give them a clear vision of the fish, Greg maneuvered the boat in the opposite direction, resulting in them losing sight of it. While all the other teams have been catching fish like it's a walk in the park, Greg's team couldn't get it right until their fourth attempt. They got $4,872 for their 348-pound catch.

Even then, this was frustrating for Greg to watch because he had a reputation to protect. Despite having a catch on their boat, Greg was not a happy man because his teammates didn't comply with him. He might have been demotivated by the failed tries over several days, Hot Tuna captain TJ Ott said Greg will need to hold his nerve if he wanted his team to succeed. Fishin' Frenzy is at the bottom of the table, third from last.

However, fans are rejoicing that Greg's team didn't catch a fish at all until their fourth try. 

"When they say one way or another life will humble you, this is one of those ways," a fan commented, while another commented: "That's because he's nasty to ppl. Starts trouble between boats. KARMA."



 

"And I love that! He gets on my nerves!" a user exclaimed.
