Rush heads to San Diego, California to help Ali attempt to catch a possible first ever, daytime deep-drop swordfish on the West Coast.

Rush and Ali invite their new friend, Dave Kustra, the talent behind the amazing Dakus Bones to bottom fish in the Florida Keys. Dave was commissioned to turn Ali’s huge swordfish catch from last season into a skeletal art piece. Both Ali and Rush pick Dave’s mind about his artistic process and his inspiration for this new mount option for trophy fish, all while chasing a mixed bag of Florida Keys reef fish.

The guys are in Ali’s backyard fishing for one of San Diego’s bread and butter species. This is tuna town and if you’re a fisherman in Southern California these are your summer games. Armed with scoops of the finest bait in town, Ali and Rush set out to score a bag of yellow fin tuna.

It’s wintertime in the Florida Keys and Rush is showing Ali what he calls a good ‘ole grab bag day of fishing. One of the most intriguing aspects of reef fishing is the fact that you never know what the next bite might be. The variety of species available to catch on the reef in Key West and Florida in general are endless. A bag of chum and some freebies rings the dinner bell for an amazing grab bag of fish species on the reef. During this time of year the action can be non stop and you never know what may swim up the chum-line next.

If you are a Florida Keys native or a treasure buff, chances are you know all about the stories of 16th century Spanish galleons that shipwrecked and spilled their fortunes across the shallows of the Keys. The most famous treasure story is that of the late Mel Fischer who devoted his life to the search for lost treasure and cashed out big in the end. In this episode, Rush and Ali are hunting fish in the same waters where the sea claimed so many lives in the past. They meet up with Dan Porter, another modern day treasure hunter and get to see what it takes to hunt treasure aboard his boat, the Sea Reaper. But modern day shipwrecks hold treasure of another type, though just as addicting. Cobia, grouper, snapper and more are the goal and X marks the spot. Ali and Rush use the Sea Reaper as a mother ship from which they explore the wrecks in the area.

Ali hopes to knock a few species off Rush’ s bucket list with a trip to his “second home”, Puerto Vallarta Mexico. It’s a crash course in west coast yacht style fishing and cow yellowfin tuna are the target. Life in the waters of Mexico are abundant, and even when you’re targeting a specific species, sometimes you end up catching the unexpected.

Chasing after “Cow” grade Yellowfin Tuna, the crew continues their Puerto Vallarta fishing trip while Rush learns what it takes to land a fish over 200 pounds. The fight is never easy and the tuna put the crew to the test in every way, but in the end, Rush discovers why this place is so amazing.

Ali and Rush are fishing in Key West Florida for permit and tarpon during the transition between spring and summer. Fishing with local Nate Wheeler, the guys trade traditional flats methods for spending time under a bridge and exploring near shore rock piles.

The waters of Southern California are foaming with life, but if you're dead set on a big bluefin tuna, it can be an all or nothing kind of day. Skipping the yummy under a kite, Ali hopes to cross off another first from Rush’s list.

It’ s prime-time fishing season in SoCal and the guys are looking to score an inshore grab bag, but first Ali and his BD Outdoors crew must prep for the 11th Annual Yellowtail Shootout Tournament. Ali and Rush set out to spend a day chasing the 3 B’s of SoCal fishing; bonito, barracuda and bass, as in calico. A mixed bag of bread and butter species using a variety of local methods, Rush gets a taste of what SoCal nearshore fishing is all about.

With year round fishing opportunities, fishermen in the keys rarely take the summer “off season” off. Ali and Rush re-power the Andros and head offshore to experience Key West fishing in the off season.

Wrapping up season two, Rush and Ali reflect on where the show has taken us while giving insight to the challenges and fun times along the way.
