Swords: Life on the Line

The fall swordfishing season gets off to a rocky start, after engine failure aboard the Sea Hawk sends the Eagle Eye II on a mission of mercy. Then a little coastal boat takes a big risk on the dangerous waters of the Grand Banks.

Accidents plague the Eagle Eye II and leave them a man down, while the Sea Hawk and Big Eye battle big seas to get the swords on the deck. Also, the Frances Anne sets out with a greenhorn surfer on the crew.

The Eagle Eye II hits a patch of deadly blue sharks, and the Sea Hawk and the Big Eye get their lines crossed as they battle for territory.

Capt. Scotty is crowded out of his favorite fishing spot; Capt. Linda vows to find fish or retire; Capt. Chomps is put in the red by his brother's medical bills.

Capt. Slick joins the fishing grounds; Capt. Linda's crew suffers from bad luck and injuries; blue sharks affect the captains; Chomp questions his decision to come to the Grand Banks.

The Frances Anne's gear is all ``sharked up'' and a deckhands mistake almost costs them all the fish they have; Eagle Eye 2 is defending its turf when a deckhand is knocked to the deck; Captain Chomps clashes with another captain.

Capt. Slick contends with a clumsy greenhorn crew; Linda and Scotty's friendly rivalry is renewed; Chomps settles for his crew in the Season 3 premiere.

A storm begets a race against time; a deck boss makes a mistake that angers the skipper of the Frances Anne.

A massive hurricane system troubles the captains, who must either ride it out or return to port; the storm follows Chomps and Scotty back to the dock.
