Big Fish Texas

When Nick learns that he's 10,000 pounds short on a snapper order, he turns to Hans and Kenny for help. Kenny has been Katie's Seafood's go-to guy for years, but his cocky nephew Hans claims to be the best fisherman in the family. The two decide to split the order, and settle the score by competing to catch 5K pounds of snapper first. Meanwhile, Buddy is involved in his own battle: recreational fishermen in the Gulf of Mexico are illegally catching snapper out of their season, and Buddy takes it upon himself to find out who's behind this and prevent them from damaging the fishery. Adding to the challenges at Katie's Seafood, Ricky struggles to fix problems with the online shipping boxes after a customer complains of spoiled fish.

Hans is wrapping up a long grouper fishing trip when Nick calls to let him know that Katie's Seafood is facing a snapper shortfall, and he'll need to catch 5,000 lbs before he returns to dock. Unfortunately, Hans can't find a spot where the fish are biting, and when he calls his uncle Kenny for advice, they get in an argument and Kenny refuses to help him.

When Katie's Seafood gets an unexpected offload of snapper, Kenny's fishing trip is sidelined. Even Nick, the fish house manager, is caught off-guard by it. Kenny learns it was all Buddy's fault, giving the boat the green light to offload and not telling anyone else. Now, the fish house is over capacity with red snapper. And Kenny and his crew can't go fishing and earn a paycheck. It's a classic case of "Hurricane Buddy" - stirring up chaos and leaving victims in its wake. But this time, Kenny's had enough.

Hating the market, Chris goes to work on the water with Kenny. The extra help comes just in time after two of Kenny's deckhands become unable to work. What starts as a banner trip soon becomes deadly, as one of Hans' deckhands comes down with a deadly infection. It's up to Buddy, in a race against the clock, to sail out in the middle of a storm, and rescue the hurt sailor.
