About the series

Discovery Channel’s All On The Line are a small group of intrepid fishermen who are in it to win it, to the tune of $20,000 paydays at the dock.

The east coast has its own variety of tuna, and it is valuable just like the Pacific. The men of Gloucester, Massachusetts are fearless in their pursuit of this big dollar fish as they traverse waters known to change on a dime with weather and current.

Discovery Channel’s new reality series All On The Line follows two fishing boats who are in search of Atlantic bluefin tuna.

This hard to capture species of tuna is prized, a hot commodity and one of the most valuable fish in the world. Their prices go to the stratosphere, selling for as high as $20,000 per catch.

To avoid overfishing, these boats are allowed only one bluefin a day and must reel it in by hand. The guys that are doing it right have a way and a method that is fascinating to watch.
