Elite New England Fisherman Spear Big Game: A Discovery

Discovery Channel’s exciting new series, “Harpoon Hunters,” invites viewers to experience the thrill of elite New England fishermen as they spear big game fish worth thousands of dollars. Premiering on January 24 at 9 PM ET/PT, this series showcases the intense competition between fishing families on Cape Cod as they race against time and each other to catch valuable Atlantic bluefin tuna using electrified spears.

With only four weeks to catch as many fish as possible before reaching the overall limit, the stakes are high for these expert fishermen. Each fish can be worth up to $10,000, making it a crucial source of income for them and their families. Viewers will witness the raw determination of these harpooners as they bravely face the challenges of the open ocean armed with nothing but a spear.
