filming these guys and asking them questions like yo what the fuck do you guys do here every day and they're like we're fucking fishermen bro come see how we live and one of these dudes took us back to his boat he lived on he had this broken down boat in this old uh dusty marina where it was the boat didn't work but he had he lived in this boat and it had amplifiers stacked to the ceiling

He had a stack of porno DVDs, like six feet tall, laser light machines, fog machines.

And he wore these fairy wings and like an armor helmet.

And he would jam out to like Rob Zombie on his guitar while playing the music videos on this big projection screen in his boat.

And we're like, this is fucking the twilight zone, dude.

And then they started telling us more and more about like what they do.

This is it.

Yeah.

This is the first episode, the gates of hell.

This is Shane Lee.

Um,

So we're like, we're asking these guys about like, what are you like?

You're fishermen.

But like, explain to me, how does this thing how does this work?

And they were all pissed off about, oh, we're getting screwed by the boat owners and these IFQs and we don't make any money.

And, you know, we're like, dude, there might be a story here.

So we started interviewing more people.

We eventually interviewed the people who own the boats and own the fish houses.

So, like, Madeira Beach is the – Johns Pass, Florida is the grouper capital of the world.

There's more grouper caught there than anywhere in the world.
