"Wicked Tuna" gets emotional

Commercial fishing series "Wicked Tuna" is not known for being incredibly emotional, but we've got an exclusive sneak peek at a very touching scene from this week's new episode (Sun., Apr. 22, 10 p.m. ET on National Geographic Channel).

"Wicked Tuna" follows the fisherman of Gloucester, Mass., giving viewers a constant reminder of how dangerous things can be in the open water. This week, fan favorite captain Dave Marciano opens up with a truly tragic story, all about how close he came to joining the ranks on the ill-fated Andrea Gail, the crew remembered in "The Perfect Storm."

Also in this episode, we'll meet Kevin, whose boat, the Christina, gets a nice big fish story to kick things off, snagging a 1,100-pound monstah. Word of the big catch travels fast, and Dave from Tuna.com isn't thrilled -- he spends the rest of the episode pushing hard to catch up and reclaim his spot at No. 1.

Carl Safina: Nat Geo's Controversial New TV Show, Wicked Tuna, Debuts

Contrary to worst fears, the show's first episode did not glorify the fishing. Contrary to romanticizing the fishery, I felt, the show can make one feel that this isn't an attractive way to try to turn a profit.
