After a series of near misses on fish that are below the legal size limit, Captain Ralph of the Odysea is desperate for a keeper, and his first mate Pirate is desperate for a long-delayed paycheck. When he finally finds himself on top of some fish, Ralph gets a distress call from a boat with engine trouble, forcing Ralph to make a tough decision help out a friend in need or stay and make a much-needed paycheck?

Learning to be able to function at a high level even when exhausted, Carraro says, is what differentiates the professional fisherman from the amateur. ?You get your second wind, and you feel like Superman,? he says. ?You know that when you come in, you?re going to get a chance to sleep. But sometimes, when you do hit the bunk, you?re so excited that you don?t want to.?
