Will Captain Bobby Earl Be Back?
Fans of Wicked Tuna: Outer Banks may remember that Season 7 ended with Captain Robert “Bobby” Earl watched his boat, Reel ‘E Bugging, go down in flames. Fans already love the redemption story of the Queens, New York native. His story is about transformation and survival.
Back in 2008, Earl worked on Wall Street. However, the markets crashed. According to Hollywood Soapbox, he then reinvented his life. He was now a commercial fisherman. He first started tuna fishing 25 years ago, but now made it his career.
In addition, he was not an ordinary fisherman. Unlike the others on the fleet, he does not use a greenstick when fishing for tuna.
Bobby is back for Season 8 with a new boat. He shared that the fishing was “incredible.” However, he described the weather as “terrible.” He revealed that this season is the worst in 12 years. This promises to be a lot of exciting fishing!
